examination.

and 10000 priest of France have been
modified for the war; more than
5000 have been killed. Twenty-four
priests and eleven seminarists of
Paris have, SO far, been killed.
Emperor Charlemagne.-The En-
peror Charlemagne, who died at
Aachen in S14 and was inferred in the
Cathedral there, which he built, was
an imposing, giant like man, of great
dignity, with long flowing hair. His
sword, preserved in the Treasury of
the Cathedral, is an immense one, for
he was a towering man.
Holy Franciscan.-There died in
1851 holy Franciscan lay Brother,
Francis de Picciano, of Palermo. The
S. Congregation of Rites is about to
take up the cause of his Qualification.
Many miracles are attributed to his
intercession, among them that OF
changing stones into bread, and water

Priests. Heroic Devoton.-An Epis-
copalian publication says: 1.-THE hero
lie devotion of Catholic priests under
arms, fighting as fearless soldiers one
hour and the next celebrating Mass,
hearing confessions, or ministering to
the dying, is one of the brightest pages
of the dark record of the battlefields.'

Patriarch Safe.-The "Osservatore
Romano" contradicts the humor that
Mgr. Camassei, the Patriarch of Jeru-
| salem, has been made prisoner by
| the Turks. Reports which have been
| received recently are comparatively
| reassuring, although it seems that
| there is still keen distress in many
| parts of Syria, where the Pope is en-
deavoring to ensure the arrival of food
and other necessities for the impover-
ished population.
Ban Women's Immodest Dress
| Cardinal Ferrari, Archbishop of Milan,
is one of the leading signatories to
an address sent to Signor Boselli, the
Italian Premier, calling the attention
of the government to the immodesty
and extravaganza of women's dress
and asking the authorities to take
some action in the matter. Many
well known prelates, and priests, are
lalso amongst the petitioners. The
Premier has replied that the govern
ment is not Indifferent to the problem
and recognizes, as the address says
that such conduct tends to weaken the
moral strength of the country in this
crisis, and it has already issued one
| appeal to women on the subject.
/ la a A n
interesting suggestion has been made
to the Catholic Lord Mayor, Sir VIM
i Dunn, that the Irish regiments, com
posed as they are of large percent
! age of Catholics, would like to have
the names of their fallen comrades
inscribed in Westminster Cathedral
thus recording their heroic sacrifice
in the heart of the empire, where
| their descendants in, future years can
| see these inscriptions. Cardinal
Bourne has offered to reserve st. Pat
rick chapel in the Cathedral for thai
purpose. Arrangements are now be
ing made for obtaining the names
and the Lord Mayor is opening fund
for subscriptions to defray the re
quisite expenses of SO praiseworthy an
object.
Bishop Praises Workingmen.-Con
siderable interest attaches to letter
sent by Bishop Fogarty of Killaloe tc
the Dublin Trades Council. In thank
ing that body for their resolution call
ing attention to the Pope's peace note
