.CLANDESTINE MARRIAGES

some places and not in others, and
doubts arose as to whether the law
was or was not in force in particr-
lar locality at given time. Often
times, too, there was serious question
as to who was the parish priest of
the contracting parties.
All such doubts and difficulties are
obviated by the new marriage legisla-
ton. ~,
First, Because it went into effect
automatically on April 10, 1908, for
the Universal Church; .-
Second, The parish priest, before
whom the marriage must take place,
is more clearly defined.
The chief provision of the new mar
riage law is as follows:
Only those marriages are valid
which are contracted before the parish
priest or the Ordinary of the place, or
priest delegated by either of these,
and at least two witnesses"
By the Ordinary of the place is
meant the Bishop of the diocese, the
ASol NC1CI d1 NOI WnSIC SUCH Exist
the Vicar Capitular, the Vicar .Apos-
tolic, certain abbots, the Papal Legate
latere) and, of course, the Roman
Pontiff, who has immediate, ordinary,
universal, full and supreme jurisdic-
ton in every parish and every do
cese.
BY the parish priest is meant the
head of a canonically erected parish,
our rectors of churches, and in this
diocese, every assistant priest of the
pastor. @
All those enumerated above, namely
the Bishop, within his diocese; the
priest, within his parish, ETC., can in
their own territory yalidly marry or
delegate another priest to marry, and
can give permission to their subjects
to be married elsewhere.
Witnesses are all those having the
use of reason, even minors, whether
Catholics or non.Catholics, men or
women, relatives of the contracting
parties or strangers. For validity it
is required only that there be two
present who are capable of testifying
to the fact of the marriage. 1t should
be unnecessary to add shat whenever
possible only practical Catholics
should be asked to act as witnesses
to the matrimonial contract. In case
of necessity, the priest will gladly FUR
nish proper and discreet witnesses for
any marriage.

Mission to the Vatican


An interesting incident in the House
of Commons, in London, last week
was the asking, by member, if it was
proposed to continue the British mis-
sion to the Vatican what the, yearly
cost of that mission was; what the
advantages of the mission were; and
whether it was proposed to found a
permanent legation at the Vatican.
Lord Robert Cecil, who replied, said
it was certainly intended to continue
the mission; that the cost was $4,000
per annum; that the advantages had
been summed up in a white paper is.
sued in 1915; and that, at the present
time, it was not proposed to make the
mission permanency.

Lieutenant Fitzsimons
MEMORIAL TO CATHOLIC OFFICER
KILLED IN FRANCE.

The park board, of Kansas City, last
week decided upon a design for the
memorial tablet provided by the citi-
Zens to honor Lieutenant William T.
Fitzsimons, the first United States Of
ficer to lose his life in France after
war was declared.
Lieutenant Fitzsimons was killed
when the hospital to which he was
assigned as physician in northern
France was bombed by a German air.

K. OF c. ACTIVE ABROAD,

because she is the country of ihtelli-
gence, the country of thrift, the cotn-
try of liberty, and when necessary, the
country Of heroism.''
Foreign Work Active.
Speaking of X c. work abroad, Col
Callahan said that the failure of the
plan to centralize the various welfare
agencies, such as the Y. NJ. c. A., the
Jewish organizations, and the Knights
of Columbus in doing army work, has
proved to be quite fortunate, because
each organization without a duplicA
tion of effort, has been able to develop
individual forms of activity which 9th
erwise could not have been accom-
plished.
The Knights of Columbus have TAX
en- over the vaudeville and entertain
ment work to large extent, while the
Y M. C. A. has devoted much of its
effort to educational and intellectual
work. The plan has been adopted of
having the men entertain themselves,
and it seems that they like their own
talent better than professionals from
the outside.
AS result of the system worked
out by the various social agencies at
the camps, complete harmony exists.
The secretaries of the Y. M. C. A.,
Knights of Columbus, and the Jewish
workers meet each week and plan
their program, SO that there will be
no duplication. The buildings are
open to all, regardless of creed or ma
tionality, and the only religious serv-
ices the Knights have, are held on
Sunday morning for the Catholic Off
GERS and enlisted men,.
/ There are now forty-seven secfeta-
ries and thirteen chaplains in France
under Knights of Columbus auspices,
and between ten and twelve men are
going over each week. The plans call
for 200 secretaries andrchaplains fby
| August and 500 by fall. "A religious
census recently taken in the camps
1 shows that .ninety-six per cent of all
the men professed religion as eompar-
led with forty-six out. of every 100 in
civil life.
Hot dogs and hot coffee for the
soldiers, is the slogan of knights of
Columbus workers in France; accord
ing to Col Callahan. "The Knights
of Columbus" he said, "have larger
organizations than any other agency
at the three principal ports OF entry
to France"

Australia to Tax Priests
TAX OF TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
IMPOSED ON THE CATHOLIC
CLERGYMEN.

Australia is seeking to meet part
of it's heavy war expenditure by the
imposition of a bachelor tax. Among
the persons to be taxed the Australian
law makers include the Catholic cler-
,gy. They are to be taxed $25 per
head The Episcopate of the country
headed by Archbishop Mannix of Mel
bourne, has protested to the federal
authorities. If the state refuses their
perfectly reasonable request to ex'
empt the priests and the teaching or
ders of brothers, the Bishops have ad.
vised them to refuse to contribute
when an appeal is made to them for
war funds or war charities.

LAINS IN FRANCE.

At the dedication of a Knights of
Columbus building Somewhere in
France" recently, Cardinal Andrieu of,
ficiated, blessing the building and de-
livering an address in which he paid
glowing tribute to the American peo-
pie, and expressed his gratitude for
the splendid work which the Knights
of Columbus, representing the Catho-
lies of America, are doing in behalf of
Uncle Sans soldiers.
The new building, which is in charge
of Field Secretary John c. Dawson, OF
Laporte, Indiana, is one of many
which the knights of Columbus will
erect on foreign soil. Secretary Daw.
son is one of the fourth contingent OF
secretaries that went to France, and
since he has been there he has visit
ed several American camps and has
talked to the soldiers. He writes that
the American army men are greatly in
terested in the recreatiOnal facilities
which the Knights of Columbus afford
them, and that the officers are coop
Grating in every possible way with the
Knights of Columbus war workers.
The exercises which marked the
dedication of Secretary Dawson's
building were in charge of regimen
tai commander, whose name cannot be
given because of censorship regula
tions; but the interest which he mani
| tested in the event is indicative of the
regard in which Knights of Columbus
work is held by those who are in close
contact with it.

damaged st. Mary's College, Oakland,

was entirely destroyed with con-
tents. Coming at midnight, many
lost valuable files and belongings
they might have otherwise saved.
The volunteer fire department
worked manfully. Streams of water
were at all corners, J4l owing %
the heavy draft upon the pumping
station the usual pressure was lack
ing and it was only by splendid work
that the fire was prevented taking
the entire business section OF the
First ward, known as the East Side.
Fifty per cent of the town did not
know of the fire until they came
down town at their usual morning
hours. Several OF the business men
were at Fort Worth witnessing the
review OF the Thirty-six,h Division.
About so per cent OF the loss, as
whole, is covered by Insurance. A
local fire insurance agent had just
completed canvass OF the section
burned last night, seeking additional
risks.
Had the flames crossed the alley
between the burned section and the
Muskogee side OF the block the en-
tire frame portion of the business
section would have bcen in ashes.
The city hall is OF freproof con-
struction and the last building on
the street towards the railway sta
tions en- route toward the Second
ward or West Side.
Estimating the loss a $350.OOO IS
within reason and responsible men
state the section cannot be replaced
for less than $500,000 at the present
price OF material.
