PETALESHARO ENDS THE RITE
OF HUMAN SACRIFICE
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

IN THE valley of the Platte river
4 dwelt the Skidi or Wolf Pawnees, a
tribe in the age-old confederacy of
ChahikSac hahiks, men of men" Their
gods We're the stars, the morning star
representing the masculine element,
the evening star the feminine. Under
the direction of tribal priesthood the
Skidi held a series of ceremonies sym
bOlical of the creation and perpetual
ton Of all living forms and culminat-
ing In the sacrifice Of young girl to
the morning star.
About 1924 captive Comanche girl
was chosen as the victim for this sac
rihce. All of the Skidi had assembled
at the altar, the priests had bound the
girl to a cross and were preparing to
begin the dreadful rites. Suddenly
young warrior sprang to his feet. ut
Is the wish Of my father that this prac-
tice be abolished" he shouted to the
priests. You may do one of two
thlngs-free this woman from the sac
rifice or accept me in her place"
Before anyone could interfere he
sprang to the womans side, cut the
thongs which bound her, seized her In
his arms and bore her swiftly through
the crowd to place where two fleet
horses were waiting. Mounting, they
fled before the dumfOunded Skidi had
recovered their wits. After riding
some distance with the woman the
Pawnee warrior stopped. Pointing to
the south he said, THE trail is open
before you. Here is food to supply
you on your long journey. This horse
give you, too. He will carry you
safely back to your people" Then he
turned to the Skidi village.
His bold deed was accepted without
protest by his people, for he was Pc
talesharo (Ptaresharu - "Chief of
Menu, the son of Chief Old Knife
Netalesha) and their greatest warrior.
And so impressed were the Skidi by
his act that they never again offered
q human sacrifice to the morning star.
Petalesharo's fame spread to the
whites and few years later the stu
dents of woman's seminary in Wash
ington, D. c., sent the Pawnee warrior
q silver medal, accompanied by an ad-
dress which ended with these words:
Brother, accept this token Of our es-
TEEN always wear 1t for our sake, and
when you have the power to save a
poor woman from death and torture,
think of this and Of US and fly to her
rescue"
That medal became PetalesharO'S
most priced possession and he wore 1t
until the day of his death in the sum-
mer of 1874.

just rounded out his thirteenth year.
His parents did not send him to
school until he was nine years old.
In school at each promotion time
he skipped" many classes. Eugene
entered St. Francis de Sales academy,
where he completed his schooling.
Eugene has never been late, and
not absent from school one day in
the past two years. He graduated
at the head of his class at st. Fran
els de Sales academy in June, being
valedictorian. He received the high
est average among the graduates of
the school in the Regents examina-
tons, his mark being SO per cent, the
highest attained in the school and, it
is said, among the highest marks at
tanned by scholar in the state. He
also won the gold medal for excel
lence.

Father Steffen was born at Bochum,
in Germany, in 1941. He entered the
Society of Jesus on April 10, 1862, and
went through the usual course of

tinguished himself in these by his
clear intellect and above all by his
wonderful talent for mathematics.
Shortly after his ordination, Father

VIOLENCE AND oUTRAGEs ARE

b, A.series of grave disorders provok-
ed by the Fascist in various parts of
Italy has eliminated in Cabinet cri-
sis. Premier Facta and his entire
cabinet presented their designations
to King Emmanuel after the chamber
had condemned the government for
not suppressing the outrages. AL
though the Catholic popular party held
three important portfolios in the min
istry, the Catholic members of the
chamber voted with the opposition.
The new cabinet, when it is formed,
will have to depend upon the Catholic
party for support, since the Catholic
representatives constitute the largest
and most influential group in the
chamber.
The Fascist, composed largely OF
Italian militarists and former soldiers
have instituted a reign of terror in
Italy. This group is opposed alike to
the constructive social reform pro-
gram of the Catholic Partito Populare
and the radical program of the Com
munists. Violent encounters between
the opposing forces have frequently
taken place. Last week the Fascist
attacked the Catholic Chamber of La
~bor at Vincenza and set the building
on fire.

LEARNED JESUIT DIES
FATHER SMITH, NOTED ENGLISH
PRIEST AND LECTURER, is
DEAD.

Father Sydney Smith, who was aft
er Father Bernard Vaughan perhaps
one of the best known of the English
Jesuits, has died in London in his 18th
year. Father Smiths father was an
Anglican clergyman, Vicar of Worth,
and the late Jesuit was received into
the Church when he was p years of
age. He was a man of the widest cul-
ture, and both as preacher and a
lecturer he achieved a nationwide
fame.
But it was as writer that he was
best known, and many of his contro-
versial brochures have been pub
lished by the Catholic Truth Society.
Some of his most effective and telling
pamphlets were mastery exposures of
the various eX-priests and escaped
nuns who inflicted themselves on
credulous public. In 1891, Father
Smith was attached to the staff of Jes-
nit writer's at Farm street in London,
and for some time he edited the

A dinner was held at the Chemists

OUR LADY OF GRACE
GOLD CROWN GIVEN DOMINICAN
SHRINE BY THE VATICAN -
ARCHBISHOP VEScONCEPLOS
DELEGATED BY POPE TO CON.
FER TREASURE.

Archbishop Vesconceplos has left
Rome for Santo Domingo, having been
delegated by His Holiness Pope Plus
XI to place upon the image of Our
Lady of High Grace the golden crown
granted for that purpose by the decree
of the Vatican Chapter. The ceremo-
ny will be carried out on August Is,
the Feast of the Assumption, at
great gathering Of the clergy and the
devout people of the republic. Many
high dignitaries of the Church are
coming from other Latin American re-
publics.
This recognition by Rome of the
great religious Importance of the far
famed image of Neustra Sonora de la
Alta Gracia-Our Lady of High Grace
has brought the Dominican people
to state of high religious qualification.
The event, coinciding as it does with
the news from Washington that the
Commissioners of the Dominican re-
public have brought the negotiations
with the State Department of the
United States to a successful issue,
and that the Dominican republic will
soon be established in a sovereign in
dependence, and on terms of amity
and cooperation with the United
States, seems to all citizens of the
Dominican republic to be an event of
the highest possible good augury.
