Priest was Whoever Convert.-A
strange anomaly in the announcement
of the death of priest was contain
ed in the dispatch received telling of
the demise of the Rev. Father Fidelis
lated that Father Fidelis died at the
home of his daughter, whom he was
visiting after a separation of fifty
years" This is explained by the fact
that when converted to Catholicity in
1869, Father Fidelis had been an
Episcopal rector for three years and
had wife and three daughters. 1t
Of h

Their Fidelis began to study for the

work, his health began to fail and he
was assigned as spiritual director to

his-studies in Valkenburg, Holland, he
came to this country in the beginning
Of the century. Speaking English,
French and German fiuently, and be-
ing endowed with great talents and
natural wit, he soon became very
popular missionary and the many who
remember him preaching, no doubt
will remember him also in their pious
prayers.

Lawrence J. Kenny, S. j., professor Of
history at ST. Louis University, has
decided that the distinction belongs
to Pierre Laclede-Liguest, French fur
trader and explorer. The honor had
been claimed for Auguste Chouteau,

the founder of the settleme INT which
