future prospects,; but the Inaugural

pOned in Difference to the more press

ligion and charity. Most of the par
lshes OF the Diocese are provided with
beautiful houses of worship and the
Catholic population has increased in
numbers and in wealth.
A few years ago the time seemed
opportune for the erection of new
Cathedral and in June, 1915, work was
actually begun when the old Pro-Ca-
thedral was removed to it's present To-
cation and the work of excayating for
the new structure was. undertaken.
The plans for the new Cathedral
were made by the late E. L. Mas

project has been in the hands of

THE HASKIN LETTER

OYSTER BAY, Sept. SO.-This
is no longer a stately and ex-
elusive summer colony. It is now
q place Of national Importance,
calmly appropriated by the entire
nation. That peculiar, rural quiet
which used to mark its Sundays is
no longer enjoyed by its resi-
dents. On this day a host Of
strangers invades the town, mo-
nopolizing its shady walks, keep
ing open its restaurants, and
chartering all its motor buses,
which I'LL the main street with a
perpetual cloud Of dust.
The citizen who used to place
his slippered feet on the railing
Of the veranda without fear Of
being seen while he concentrate
on the Sunday paper, now must
keep his feet firmly on the floor
and be prepared to answer the
frequent questions Of the invad-
ing strangers, as this the way
to the COlonel's graVe?"
There is no printed sign to di-
rect the way, so that, unless the
stranger takes a bus, it is neces-
sary to ask questions. And a
large number Of the visitors OBJ
viously cannot afford the bus
fare. So they walk the mile and
a half to the grave from the sta
ton, which, Oyster Bay being one
of the most beautiful communities
in the country, is well worth
while.
ShaEgy, Untrimmed Hillside.
Eventually, around a bend Of the
road, you come upon a faded,
wooden arch, marked "Young's
Cemetery" Upon entering this
arch, you expect to see the usual
rows OF neat tombstones, closely
clipped grass and flower beds that
are found in most cemeteries, but
they are cOnspicuously lacking.
There is nothing but a rather
shaggy, untrimmed hillside, with
a hard-worn dirt path leading up
to the crest. Taking this path,
you begin a steep ascent, and just
as you are about to pause for
breath you suddenly come upon a
grave right in the middle of the
path. They are building an eight
foot iron fence around It now, but
until very recently II lay exposed
upon the hillside, with an armed
guard in a tiny, rough pine shelter
lust a few feet distance.
Before this fence was started,
II took the word Of the guard to
convince each visitor that he had
reached his destination. 'Is this
the gFave?" was the surprised ex-
clamatiOn Of every person as he
reached the top Of the hill and
looked about him.
Evidently, no one was prepared
for what he saW-just a siX-fOot

shade Own Monument
Theodore Roosevelt made his
own monument, Madam" replied
the guard somewhat sententiOusly.
Besides which, he didn't care a
rap what Europe thought about
his grave. As he told his cousin,
he wanted to rest quietly here
near his family. On a clear day
this spot is always visible through
field glasses from Sycamore Hill"
It is said that Colonel RoOse-
velt selected this site for his grave
the year that he left the White
House. 1t is a place he often
visited in his walks about Oyster
Bay, so that he was well aware Of
its rare charms. In the first
place, it is still wild and primitive,
much as the Indians must have
known it years ago. Tall, slim
locust trees throw a generous
shade over the little colony Of
graves on the hill, and Just a few
feet away, enclosed by a wooden
fence, is a tract of dense green
wilderness, stretching for many
miles.
Far below may be seen the blue
waters Of Oyster Bay, dotted with
white sail boats. The visitor who
feels that the ColOnel's grave is
not sufficiently impressive should
sit down on this hillside on a sunny
afternoon, let the wind sweep
through his hair, and listen to
the busy twittering Of the many
birds in the nearby wilderness.
Then it will be perfectly clear
why the Colonel, who loved the
open spaces, wanted to be buried
here.
A constant stream Of visitors is
