Archbishop Speaks
In Aid of Catholic
Charity Fund Week
Tells Dinner Throng Amer
ica Is Object of Worlds
Jealousy and Urges All to
Serve Country and Faith

Archbishop Patrick ]. Hayes was
guest of honor at a.dinner given last
night at the Hotel Biltmore for
Catholic Charities Renewal and Exten-
sion Week, which begins Sunday. A
committee of prominent Catholics, of
which Nicholas F. Brady was chairman,
was in charge of the arrangements.
Five hundred we'll known Catholics
from all parts Of the Archdiocese Of
New York attended. They included
representatives Of each Of the 302
parishes.
The Catholic Charities Of the Arch
diocese of New York administers 1876
orphan asylums, hospitals, day nur-
series and homes for the aged. 1t is a
permanent organization Of 100000
Catholics, who contribute annually to
the fund. Last year $4,000 persons
gave $96O,O0O. Of this sum, the Arch
bishop explained, $52,992 was expended
for day nurseries, $10,937 on summer
vacations for children, $4,000 for the
care of children, $4,000 on the health
department, $102,750 on girls activities,
14,60s on boys work and s45,0o0 on
settlements. The total expenditure was
$702, 1894, and there is balance in
the treasury of $266,266.61.
Beginning Sunday every wage-earn-
ing member of the faith will be can
vassed and asked to renew the pledge
of support made last year.
At the conclusion Of his address on
charities Archbishop Hayes digressed
to speak of the state of the world, and
in his concluding sentences, pointing
to the American flag as he spoke, he
said impre ressively:
"That flag needs q prayer and a
benediction. We are the object of
jealousy for the world. That flag needs
the protection of power higher than
any earthly power-the power of re-
ligion and the power of the cross. In
serving God you serve your country
best"

new word" DR.. Newbold said. "For
example, if the letter 'C' is represented
by 'GR,' A by 'AD' and ~ by ed
the word graded would spell cat
"The principle cannot be used in this
way because, first, every word will be
represented in cipher by twice as many
letters, and seconds, no words can be
used in cipher except those Of an even
number of letters. To meet these diff
ficulties Bacon lays down the rule that
successive syllablcs must end and be-
gin with the same letters, doubled let
ters being dropped. Thus cat may
be spelled in the Bacon cipher go
ol-ld. Dropping the doubled letters
gives the word gold
"1n reading the cipher you double
every letter except the first and last
and thus discover the syllables which
spell the word. But it is very seldom
possible to find syllables which fulfill
these conditions and yet spell new
word when arranged in the order OF
the letters Of the original word, like
cat For example, cat may be spelled
'ar-ka-da," and the syllables may BIZ
rearranged into the word dark bu!
when dark is translated the word cat
will reappear as tea the order of the
letIerS DelnR 0lSarranged. IneSe are
the principles Bacon used.'
Bacon sometimes wrote tiny char
acters under q microscope, concealint
them in letters of bogus alphabet
DR.. Newbold said.
AS evidence of the fact that his
method of deciphering is correct, DIR
Newbold said he had found therein
facts of which he had no former knowl
edge but which he afterward fount
to be true. These included the appear
ance of comet on December Is, 1890
and the location of the great nebuls
of Andromeda

Rich-Quicks Hoaxed by Bacon
In His Ci pher, Scientist Finds
Jargon, Purposely Used by Philosopher-Monk to
Hide knowledge, Misled Searchers for Se-
cret of Transmutaion of Metals

PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-Alchem-
lists who for 600 years sought to find
in Roger Bacon's cipher writings the
secret Of turning base metals into gold
we're the victims Of hoax, declared
William Romaine Newbold, professor
Of intellectual and moral philosophy at
the University Of Pennsylvania, before
the general meeting Of the American
Philosophical Society here to-day.
Bacon, he continued, hid under nom
sensical jargon Of alchemists' terms
a marvellous storehouse Of scientific
knowledge. DR.. Newbold told Of his
two years labor to decipher the code
Bacon used.
The manuscript written by the thir-
tecnth century philosopher-monk con-
tains 100000 words. 1t is now the
property of Wilfrid M. Voynich, Of
New York and London.
AS result Of the revelations made
by deciphering the manuscript scien-
lists have declared Bacon had remark
able knowledge Of modern mathemati-
cal physics and had his discoveries
been made known hundreds of years

much in advance of it's present state.
The manuscript proves, it is contend
ed, that the Franciscan friar used both
the telescope and the microscope.
DR.. Newbold pointed out that Bacon
was obliged, because of the age in
which he lived, to devise cipher
which not only would be difficult to
read, but one which no one would sus-
pect of being a cipher.
Bacon conceived the idea Of ex-
pressing every letter of word which
he wanted to write in cipher by {
syllable and building the syllable into
