CHARITY REQU|1ED
BISHOPS KINDNESS TO CHURCH
BEGGAR BRINGS BIG GIFT.

The Bishop of Nottingham, Eng,
Mgr Dunn, relates an. incident con-
nected with an act of generosity per-
formed by himself a year ago. The
Bishop, noticing that limbless beg
gar used to sit soliciting aims outside
his Cathedral, gave orders to have a
part of permanent wall pulled
down, and a small shelter made for
the mendicant. This act became wide
ly known.
What followed is told by the Bishop
himself. Until the end of the year
We had been looking forward with
dread to the possibility of there being
a large deficit on the Ecclesiastical
Education Fund at the end of the f.
nancial year. Then total stranger
wrote to us from London saying that
as a mark of his appreciation of our
kindness in providing shelter for the
crippled beggar, he begged us to &C

DIOCESE OF DULUTH

Duluth Father Firms New York
Choir gave a program at the Armory
on "Wednesday and Thursday of last
week. The choir is really wonder;
it is obvious that its present high
standard of excellence is the result Of
careful selection, and of still more
careful and exhaustive training. The
bulk of the numbers were of course
sacred music; but an appreciative au-
dience listened with pleasure to Mr..
Finnegan. the Irish tenor, and to Mas
ter Probst and Master Huber
The concert was for the benefit of
St. James Orphanage. The attend
ance left much to be desired. There
is ample room for improvement in Du-
luth as regards appreciation of art
and in the matter of charity, when a
sacred concert for such deserving
cause attracted such poor audiences.

THE UGANDA MARTYRS
THEIR COMPANIONS SEE THE
ATION-NATlVES
WRITE IMPRESSIONS.

Two eye-witnesses of the killing
and burning of the twenty-five boy
martyrs of Uganda we're present at
the ceremony of the Qualification of
these negro converts to the faith on
Sunday, June 9, at St. Peters at
Rome.
These eye-witnesses were sNessers
and Kamyuke, negoes who came near
sharing the fate of their companions.
They came from Africa for the cere-
mony in care of the missionary White
Fathers. During their stay in Rome
they were constant attendants at
Mass in the Church of San Andrea
della Fratte where their odd semi-ee-
clesiastical garments provoked much
attention. .. ........ .%.. r
The two negroes wrote down their
impressions for the benefit of their
companions at home. =
The father superior insisted that
they write down their observations
now, otherwise they will have forgot.
ten everything they have seen and
heard by the time they reach home
Their memories are short like those
of children. They speak only their ma.
tive language. ...
Before their conversion, the two ne
groes were naked savages, inhabiting
Uganda on the shore of Lake Victoria
Nyanza. King Mgwanga, ruler OF
Uganda, who was instrumental in per
hitting the White Fathers to carry on
their missionary labors in Uganda
after they had been expelled by his
predecessor, was later prompted by
Arabs to prosecute the Catholics Of
his realm. On May rs, 1886, he in
quired of his pages how many of them
were Catholics. Thirty out of thirty
three, including Joseph Mkasa, CHIEF
of the royal pages, stepped forward
Within an hour they were roasted tt
death. Mkasa was the proto-martyr.

THE DETROIT DRIVE
DETROIT DIOCESAN SEMINARY
FUND GROWING RAPIDLY
PLANS CALL FOR 100000.

| The campaign being conducted by
the Right Rev. Michael J. Gallagher
for the purpose of raising $4,0O0,00O
to establish and permanently endow
| Sacred Heart Seminary for the youth
| of Detroit, Mich, diocese, already has
| been crowned with signal success.
The campaign has been completed in
Detroit and will start in the other
twenty nine counties of the diocese on
July 4.
Bishop Gallagher, in launching the
campaign, ignored the advice of doz-
ems of other churchmen and laymen
who had conducted similar campaign,
refusing to engage the services of So
called experts in money-raising. He
has entrusted the work to a general
committee, composed of the pastor
and two laymen in each parish, which
works in cooperation with an execu-
tive committee of a dozen very able
Catholic business men of Detroit.
The Bishop determined early that
it would not do simply to collect a
fund to purchase a site and erect the
necessary buildings for the seminary
He refused, even against advice, to
establish a training school for priests
that might remain indefinitely a tax
and burden on the men and women
of the diocese for maintenance, upkeep
and repairs. His request for $4,000
900 was to establish an endowment
fund that would forever care for the
institution.
The endowment feature of the pro-
posed seminary is one that is appeal
ing to a great number of Michigan
Catholics. 1t has been announced that
of professorships at $685.
600 per year will be received, this
sum, properly invested, being consid-
cred sufficient to pay the expenses of
one professor Scholar
ship endowments at $4,000 each are
also popular, the income being suffici-
ent perpetually to pay the expenses of
one boy through his entire seminary
course. Gifts of $1,000 are sufficient
to educate one boy in the seminary
course.

ARCHBISHOP MANh|X
AUSTRALIAN PRELATE WAS EAG-
Err TO SALUTE FLAG.

Several days before he reached San
Francisco, Archbishop Daniel J. Man
nix of Australia sent this message to
Vicar General Ryan of San Francisco:
Thanks for hospitality I eagerly
await my first opportunity of saluting
the American flag on American soil"
The prelate's message is accepted as
REPUTATION of the charge made by a
New York man who was a passenger
with Archbishop Mannix across the
Pacific, that the prelate remained
seated while the ships band played
The Star Spangled Banner. .,. ,
The New York man asked the state
department to bar Archbishop Mannix
from America for the alleged discour-
tesy to our national anthem. The mat
ter was referred to the immigration
officials. 1t is said there is no law
covering such case as this charged
against Archbishop Mannix. The in
cident is closed. ---.. -.

Grand Forks: Peter w. Collins, ma

Grand Forks: Peter w. Collins, ma
tional lecturer, spoke last Sunday
afternoon to an immense audience in
the Metropolitan opera house, under
the auspices of the local Knights of
Columbus. Mr.. Collins denounced So
cialism from three angles, as being
hostile: to the Christian religion, the
interests of organized labor and the
United States. Each of these theses
was logically proved by quotations
from Socialistic leaders themselves.
He gave a special warning to the peo-
pie of North Dakota in these words:
There is in this state today polit-
ical ticket which is Socialistic. You
know it; it is not necessary for me
to mention any names; when you vote
for that ticket you vote for Social
ism
Speaking of the Socialistic attitude
towards patriotism, Mr.. Collins said:
"No Socialist, knowingly accepting So
cialism, can be a loyal citizen Let
us say to these Socialists: We have
8 500 900 square miles of territory in
this country, but not one square inch |
of that is for a man who refuses to |
salute the American flag"
The local council of the knights of |
Columbus initiated a large class of |
candidates on June 10. The members |
attended High Mass at st. MichaeIs !
at 9 o'clock, and lis
tened to a sermon by Rev. w. J.
Mulloy. The degree work took place
at 100 D. M 1t concluded with a
banquet served by the ladies Of st.
Mary's parish in their auditorium at
100 p. m. The POSTMASTER was J.

Editors of the Press Syndicate,

Gentlemen:
The Catholic Federation of the U.
S. A. has been reliably Informed that
your Press Syndicate is responsible
for the articles sent out to the secular
press under the caption To-day We
Celebrate; Articles appearing under
date of May 6 and May 7, entitled
"The Irish," and "Robespierre" are
offensive not only to the twenty mil
lion Catholics of the United States,
but to the three hundred mil
lion Catholic of the world. The ar
ticles insult the spiritual leaders of
one of the greatest civilizing agencies
the world has ever known, and the
Catholic Federation of the United
States can hardly believe that your
Press Syndicate intends to openly vii
ify the spiritual leaders of the Catho-
lie Church.
Please advise us of your attitude in
this matter so that we can inform our
federation organization.
-. Respectfully yours,
ANTHONY MATRE,

Dear Sir:
Replying to your favor of the 21st
inst, we wish to express to you our
sincere regret that any article should
have left this office that contained any,
thing in any way offensive to either
the Catholic religion or the Irish race.
We assure you that the two instances
which you mention were due entirely
to carelessness on the part Of the
management, and not to any desire to
Willy religion and race which
have done SO much to advance ciyili-
zatiOn.
The offensive articles mentioned left
this Office during the absence of the
writer of this letter. Their author
had been in our employ some time,
and we reposed not a little faith in
her good judgment, and therefore
trusted her to edit her own work dur
ing the writer's absence from the city.
Your letter-and. several others which
we have received from subscribers to
our service clearly shows us that our
faith was misplaced The, author in
| question is no longer in our service.
