DECE|V|NG THE ITALIANS
SECTARIANS SUCCEEDED UNTIL
PASTOR INTRODUCED HIS
WIFE.

The parish of st. Callixtus has just
been established in an Italian district
of Chicago. The building which the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Murphy, has pur-
chased and converted into Catholic
Church, served originally as a Meth
odist edifice. More recently it was &C.
cupied by some one of the sects that
are engaged in proseIytizing the
Italians. The malicious object was
to deceive the people into believing
that it was a church of their own
faith. For this purpose a sign was
affixed to the building naming it the
Church of Saint Mary the Virgin.
The services were an imitation of the
Catholic ritual, the celebration of a
purported Mass, etc. Even an outdoor
procession with statue of the Blessed
Virgin was conducted. Many of the
Italian Catholics in the neighborhood
were entirely deceived and co-operat-
ed with the imposter priest TO the en-
tent of subscribing for the furnishing
! of his church. The people quickly
Wakened to the deception when the
| pastor" brought his wife and family
| to live with him. This quickly ended
his mission and he was compelled to
close his church.

IRISH LANGUAGE
EFFORT TO REVIVE 1T IN IRE
LAND THROUGH MEDIUM OF
CHURCH..

A great effort is being made in Ire
land to revive the Gaelic language
through the medium of the Church
At the Ard Feis, which has just closed
at Cork, proposition was drawn up
and placed before the Bishops, ask
ing that the prayers before and after
the Mass should be said in Gaelic or
alternately in Gaelic and English;
that children should be instructed in
the sacraments and prepared for con-
fession, communion and confirmation
in the native tongue, and that ser
mons should be preached in Gaelic.
There was some discussion as to
the universal adoption of the Ian.
guage, as in centers where the people
themselves were unfamiliar with it.
1t was stated, however, that twenty
Bishops had decided not to admit
henceforth to Holy Orders any candi
date who could not talk Gaelic as
well as English. Certainly, if the
Church takes up the language for the
vernacular of her services, where the
vernacular is used, it will give great
impulse to the general revival Of the
ancient tongue.

THE SCOTS COLLEGE
APPEAL FOR NATIONAL COLLEGE
IN ROME.

The Scottish Hierarchy has issued
an appeal for the Scots College at
Rome, which has fallen on evil days
through the war. The immense in.
crease in the cost of living, the de.
crease in income, the loss of the work.
ing of the college vineyards, the need
of repairs have all combined to put
the college in a serious financial Pc
sition; and without speedy help this
venerable institution must close its
doors. A sum of $4,000 is needed
for repairs alone to the fabric and the
country house. The Bishops appeal to
clergy and faithful in Scotland and
of Scottish nationality through the
world to save this representative in
stitution of their country in Rome.

A VETERAN EDITOR
SIGNOR CASONi WAS DEAN OF
ITALIAN JOURNALISTS - DIED
AT BOLOGNA.

After rounding out his ninety years,
sixty-five of which were spent in the
ranks of Catholic journalism, Com
mendatore Giambattista Casoni, late
editor of the Osservatore Romano,
semi official organ of the Vatican, and
doyen of the journalists of Italy, has
passed away at Bologna. He was a
lawyer by profession and a fine type
of old Catholic gentleman.
His youth was passed in the ranks
of Catholic journalists. He became
editor of the Osservatore Romano for
the first time in 1865, the very time
in which the foes of the sanity Plus
TX were closing around Rome. Again
in 1889 by personal command of Leo
XIII Casoni assumed the editorship
of the Osservatore The value set
upon his worth by Pope Leo may be
seen from the fact that His Holiness
despatched young prelate to Bologna
to announce to Commentators Casoni
his appointment, with orders to come
to Rome at once. This young prelate
was Monsignor Della Chiesa, now
gloriously reigning under the title of
Benedict XIV. @'sfE
Among his intimate friends were
Keller, Montalembert, Dupanloup. He
