Oregon Minimum Wage
WORK OF PRIEST is NOW BEAR
ING FRUIT.

The minimum wage to be paid
women employed in mercantile, manu-
featuring and other lines of employ
ment in Oregon has been advanced
from 25 to 80 per cent. The weekly
wage of women in mercantile estab-
lishments in Portland must not be
les tb2a $11.10, with employment
limited TO eight hours and 20 min
utes a day, or fifty hours a week.
The scale for manufacturing indus
tries is $11G1 for fifty-four hours,
with apprentices at 1920, $S40 and
$3.50; telephone and telegraph occu-
pations, approximately the same;
office occupations $48 a month, and
public housekeeping, $1161 a week.
This classification includes wait
resses. This item is particularly of
interest inasmuch as it shows the rich
fruition of the work of Rev. Edwin
V. O'Hara, who was one of the pioneer
advocates in Oregon of a legal mini
mum wage for working women.

Sister Mary Josephine Dead
FOUNDER OF MT. ST. JoSEPH'S
COLLEGE AND SUPERIOR FOR
MANY YEARS, PASSES AWAY.

Sister Mary Josephine Clarke passed
away Saturday afternoon, June %, at
Mt. ST. Joseph's College, Dubuque.
The deceased nun was a niece OF
Sister Mary Francis Clarke, founder
of the Sisters Of Charity of the Bless
ed Virgin Mary. Sister Mary Josephine
was Superior of St. Joseph's Academy
Dubuque, for many years. She found
ed Mt. st. Joseph's College. Up till a
few years ago she was head of the
institution.
AS an artist, she attained fame. Her
skill at painting has frequently evoked
admiring comments from connoisseurs.
Upon different occasions Sister Mary
Josephine was elected to high offices,
and in each instance she proved en-
inently capable of ably discharging the
duties demanded by the positions.
In the death Of Sister Clarke, Mt. St.
Joseph's College has lost one of it's
strongest pillars. The hundreds of
young women reared and educated un-
der her guidance are a monument pro-
claiming her wonderful work. Pos
sessed of a kindly, tolerant nature and
endowed with remarkable executive
talent, she nobly fulfilled her mission
forwarding Christian education.

Sacred Cave.

The "Sacro Speco," or Sacred Cave,
in which BenediG& .Ived lears men0ri-
ais of his presence. A monastery was
buiIt here at an early period, which
still exists and is inhabited by monks
of his order A statue Of the sanity
youth who sought silence and solitude
in this rugged mountain retreat, amid
the Sunbrevian hills clothed with ever
green, pines and, in the springtime,
carpeted with lovely wild flowers, is
placed in the cave in which he dWelt.
He is represented kneeling in prayer
before a rude cross formed of two
pieces of wood, and his absorbed eX-
nression denotes the fervor of his
prayer.
The monastery that has grown up
here, clinging to the rockside like the
lichen which lightens the cave with
gold-colored stars, is one of the Oldest
extant monasteries in Italy. Between
the celebration of the Offices and rites
in the Church a wondrous and sooth-
ing silence broods over the place. The
only sounds that break upon the ear
are the noise of the rapid flowing Arno
down in the steep gorges of the noun
tain, the sybillant murmur of the pines
in the spring breezes and the songs OF
the nightingales in the narrow strip of
garden and avenue at the entrance OF
the monastery.
And from this spot, and through the
heaven-directed work of st. Benedict,
the order which bears his name took
it's origin and spread throughout the
world surviving the ruins.o empires,
the decay of nations and the rise and
fall of systems and PHILOSOPHERS.

Rev. John de Wales, one of the

these interesting experiences:
With my hearts desire fulfilled, here
/ am, right in the danger zone, in a
Massachusetts regiment of 3,700 men
10 per cent of which is Catholic.
They had been clamoring for an Eng
disappearing priest; you may then
imagine what a royal welcome | re-
ceived when | arrived and established
myself in their midst. The regiment
is quartered along three neighboring
villages, in which there are medieval
ice-cold stone churches, without even
the luxury of old-fashioned stoves
The men do not, however, complain
even after waiting three or four hours

SACRED CAVE" STILL EXISTS
AFTER FOURTEEN CENTURIES
-cENTER OF lNTEREST-VARI-
ED HISTORY OF GREAT ORDER.

The following interesting article
comes from correspondent in Rome ::
In no other country so much as in
Italy should the traveller make short
Journeys. The whole land is, as it
were, a great gallery of masterpieces,
each claiming close and elaborate in
spection. And when the tardy-cOming
sunshine illuminates the Maytime the
Campagna is thesgoal of the wise pill
grim.
In the course of Il comparatively
short journey one passes through
many scenes of interesting and varied
history Here on one route the rem
nants of the earliest dwellers in the
land are trodden by the feet of the
most modern of eXcursiOnists. The
mind wearies at the sight of the me-
MORALS of a dead and gone material
civilization with manners and customs
and institutions that at one time seem
ed as enduring as Eternal Rome itself.
A slow railway journey of four hours
TO Subiaco brings one to the site on
which, fourteen centuries ago, an in
StitutiOn was planted which has en-
dured through the ages and fourishes
TO this day in increased vigor and
majesty.
A youth named Benedict, born in the
last quarter of the fifth century, just
after the ancient Roman empire had
fallen to pieces, fed from the world
and it's evil ways and took up his
abode far from the haunts of men.
He sought out a cave, to which even
the sunshine did not penetrate. The
site chosen was in the neighborhood of
the ruins of the Emperor Nero's villa,
Under the Lakes"-Sublaqueum,
hence Subiaco-where that emperor
had a portent of his coming doom
when the golden wine cup which he
held in his hand was struck by light
ming.

Lights in Churches

The food controller in London has
expressed wish to the ecclesiastical
authorities, which has resulted in in
structions going forth that all lamps in
the churches are to be suppressed,
with the exception of one light before
the Blessed Sacrament, during the
period of the war. In those churches
where the liturgical lights, of seven
lamps, are burnt, six of these will
have to co. while lamps before shrines
of saints will also have to be extin-
guished. Already candles have been
cut down to the minimum at all func-
