Evarius, a Salesian Father, died re-
Gently in Chilli, South America. At
BOYCOTT, Columbia, where Father Evar-
Jus had labored for over twenty years,
the Requiem Mass was celebrated in
the presence of the Archbishop and
the President Of the Republic, while
a great multitude of people attended
the obseuuies. He was known as the
Father of the Lepers" because of his
many years labor among those I'M
fortunate people. In order to prolong
his life, his Superior transferred him
from the leper colony to his former
province in Chill, of which he had been
the first Superior in 1886, and where
he spent the last eleven years of his
life. Even when far away from his
leners, he helped them morally by his
letters and good advice, and materi-
ally by sending them help.

Columbus Historical Society, which
has been formed by the nations which
had to do with the discovery and col
onization of America, to preserve the
monuments that have been falling into
decay in Santo Domingo, will first re-
store the old Jesuit church in that
capital of the New World, and then
place therein, under the great dome,
the monument to Christopher Column
bus. This work of art. Of combined
marble and bronze, now stands. says
the Catholic Herald, in the Cathedral
of Santo Domingo, which the dlscoV-
erer's son, Diego, erected in 1916. The
arches OF the cathedral not being high
enough to admit the whole monument,
it's base had to be sunk into the ca
thedral floor, therefore its position
there has been only provisional. The
monument is a gift of the Dominican
I people, erected by public subscription
at cost of several hundred thousand
| francs. The work OF securing the
money and erecting the monument
was under the immediate supervision
of the Junta Nacional Colombina (Na-
tional Columbus CounciD Differed by
Archbishop Nouel, honorary presi-
| dent.
