The Vicariate of Rome has been obliged to issue still another warning against the propagation of an unauthorized unau-thorized piayer. A few weeks ago many hundreds of simple-minded Romans Rom-ans began to rer-eive copies of a prayer. If they recited it for nine days, and distributed it. each to nine other persons, per-sons, they were promised all sorts of blessings, temporal and spiritual: tf they failed to do this, they were threatened threat-ened with the direst penalties in this world and the next. The Osservatore Romano promptly denounced the thing, but the Osservatore is not very widely read, and the "end'ess chain" was at its deadly work. This week the Vicar-late Vicar-late has found it necessary to address a circular to all the parish priests of! Rome urging them to inform the faithful faith-ful "publicly and repeatedly" that the i prayer is condemned by the ecclesiastical ecclesias-tical authorities, and the threats are j idle. Unfortunately, the contagion i fffms to have spread to other diocese? I In Italy. Cause of the Irish Martyrs. The cause of the Irish martyrs will I he very much thrown back by the sud- ! . den death of iler. Murphy, the late ice- i ' tor of the Irish college, says the Rome orrespondent of the Standard and; Times. The bishops of Ireland, plac- j . 1ng unbounded confidence in h's abi!-i Ity, had chofen him as chief, promoter J j of the cause, and. in fact, had given i I over to him all documents pertaining j to it. Considering the number of Irish j martyrs to be gone through, and that I "Rome" is proverbially slow and exact. I ' the lamented death of Mgr. Murphy will eanise a great deal of trouble and delay in this matter, i Li notypes For Vatican Printing. ; The interest Pius X. takes in modern inventions was distinctly illustrated when he ordered linotype machines for the Vatican printing office. On being told that some improvements were reeded in the composing room, he held a conference with an expert, and was much surprised to learn of the cflleien- ! ; of the linotype machine and of the fact that such an improvement had not i been adopted long ago in the Vatican J printing office, which forms now one i 1 department in the celebrated printing ' office of the Propaganda, where works in all ihe languages of the world are I printed every day. ., Endorse Folk's Policy. Fifteen presidents of the Ladies' Catholic Total Abstinence society of St. Louis, and Father James T. Coffey, Cof-fey, pasfr of St. Leo's church, have signed a set of resolutions endorsing the action of Governor Folk and Excise Ex-cise Commissioner Mulvihill in enforcing enforc-ing the statute laws of Missouri, and especially those prohibiting the sale of liquors on Sunday and the sale of liquors li-quors to minors at all times. The resolutions recite the control, for .many years, of legislation by the liquor interests., the emancipation by the people peo-ple at the last election from this control con-trol by the election vl a fearless governor, gov-ernor, and bespeak for him the support of every Christian and home-loving citizen. The co-operation of all good citizens in the work that means so much for honesty, morality and the elevation of the people of the city, state and nation I is i cquested by the signers, who ex- ! lend to the governor and excise commissioner com-missioner the heartfelt thanks of all Christian mothers, wives and daugh-. daugh-. ters. and pray that they may persevere in the course they have taken. |
