OLDEST CATHOLIC
PRIEST IN WORLD
The Rev. Father Dandurand
Was One Hundred Years
Old March 22
Winnipeg. Man. —The Rev. Dara
ase Dandurand, of the quaint old
town of St. Boniface across Red
river from Winnipeg, is the oldest
Catholic priest in the world. He was
100 years old March 22.
On March 25 at the centennial an
niversary of the founding of St.
Boniface, he celebrated mass in the
cathedral at an altar before which
Indian worshipers once bowed in
old St Boniface mission, one of the
pionepr outposts of the Catholic
Church in Western Canada. His
voice was clear and strong and car
ried to the farthest corner of the
edifice. After the service, he held a
reception for the parishioners and
visiting clergymen.
"When 1 came into the west,
said Father Dandurand, "it was wild
prairie dotted with Indian villages
aid covered with buffalo. I saw the
first settlers come in behind their
ox teams. I saw populous towns
and cities arise on every hand. I
saw Hie wilderness transformed as
by recromancy into a smiling pic
ture of farm prosperity, with cattle
in a thousand pastures and wheat
rolling to the horizon. The last
vzest is still calling the homeseek
ers from all over the world. The
people are still pouring in to settle
on the fertile land. I have seen
Canada's yesterday and its to-day.
if tilt dear <R>d should grant me
one more decade of life, I should
not he able to recognize the greater
Canada of to-day in the greater na
tion ct to-morrow."
£t. Boniface, to which Father
Danurand came in 1872, was the
mission of which the poet Wliittier
sing in "The Bells of St. Boni
face.' Since its foundation in 1818
until now it has been the headquar
ters of the Catholic Church in West
ern Canada. A magnificent cathe
dral now occupies the site of the
old mission from whose "turrets
twain ' the bells of St. Boniface
pealed their mellow call "to the
Sontinen on the river and the hunts
men on the plain."
thcr Dandurand was born at Da
i' -. iinc. Quebec, March 22. 1819. He
i n weak, delicate cltlld. Dr.
Vrlson, the family physician, used
t !. 01. at him sadly with shaking
1 -ail : r,i say: "One lung bad. I'm
mi bo won't live long." He was
c-i! liierl to the priesthood in 1841
j. I held important charges in East
icc Canada before coming to St
i,c< Mace. He was a missionary at
licawa when it was known as By
t ><vn and drew the plans for the fa
ro- ua Basilica at the national cap
ital
Except that his eyes are weak and
lie. is competed to wear glasses, ail
the faculties cl the venerable priest
remain unimpaired. He habitually
takes pari ;n the services of the
Oblate Order of which he is the
dean of Western Canada. There is
no doubt about his age. The parish
record of his birth still preserves
the clearly legible proof.

The Sixty-third Congress, in -ts

good part of this money will not now
be spent. Between April. 1917. and
December. 1918, we spent $24,500,-

the normal expenses of running the

there remained $22,000,000,000 as the
cost of the war up to the end of

War Visions and Psychology
By Garret I'. Serviss
! The teeming subsoil of humanity has
boen so deeply ploughed hy the great
war that a host of ideas and fancies
released from tlie depths now hovers
over tlie fields of thought, to be. perhaps,
transformed for future fenerations into
!• ?ends as grandiose as the events that
brought them forth.
Some of these inklings and gimmer
ingfl out of the unknown and t • tin*

that he has seen a ghost.

time when socielies for psychical re

be thrown aside and fm ltten. We
shall see them reappearin in various
departments of literatur. s pegs on
which to hang both' flctiot and philos
ophical speculation.
A striking, but not ine\ icable. fact
is that so many simulta i ously rec
ognized the same appatioi . For in
stance. take a royal artilb nan's naive
relation to an English irse. Miss
Campbell. It was in a li d hospital,
after the English had held up the Ger
mans in one of the fier. G struggles
before the first battle of the Marne.
\nother wonded British soldier, who
had been a Wesleyan minister, had sent
for the nurse because h- noped that
she might have an English tun or medal
bearing the figure of St. forge, which
he wished to compare v ' what he
had seen in the battle. A te told his
story the nurse betrayed s.nie incred
ulity. whereupon the artilh ; man on an
adjoining cot broke in:
It's true, Sister; we all saw it. First,
there was a sort' of yello ■■ mist risin'
belore the Germans as the come on to
the top of the hill—come on like a solid
wall, they did —no end to om. 1 just
give up. No more fighti: the whole
German race, thinks I. Th. n xt minute
comes this funny cloud of light, and
wlun it clears off, there's i tall man
witlt yellow hair, in golden armor, on
a white horse, holdin' up his sword, and
his mouth open like as if h< was sayin':
"Come on, boys, I'll put tic Icybosh on
the devils' —sort of 'this is icy picnic ex
pression. Then, before you could say
'knife,' the Germans had turned, and
we ifter 'em, fighting like ninety."
Of course, plain common sense would
begin by Inquiring whether there was
not in that battle some yellow-haired
English officer, riding a white horse,
whose khaki uniform, seen through the
smoke, and scintillant with medals and
trappings, might have seemed tne golden
armor of St. George to the eyes
of men wl'.o obeyed the electric; impulse
of his gesture.
In such momentary impressions, when
the brain is in a whirl, the fancies of
the ntind sometimes transform the re
ports of the eye, and make their yosess
sor. for nP instant, as mad as Don
Quixote, when he mistook the brass
basin that the barber had clapped on
his head, as he jogged on ids mule
through the Spanish sunshine, for the
golden helmet of Mambrino
And yet. somehow, such an explana
tion does not satisfy. It is too unsym
pathetic toward the creative imagina
tion, which the most humbly endowed
of us possess in a degree seldom rea
lized, and which fills our lives with
pictures that often affect us more pow
erfully thar. realities. The imaginative
poy mounted on his roekinghorse is
N'apoleon crossing the Alps, and that
fancied transformation becomes, for the
moment, absolutely real to him. Grown
up. he will remember It like a fact when
actual facts of his boyhood have faded.
Jn a desperate battle the primal Im
pulses may break all bonds, and the Im
aginative man becomes as a Imy again,
may once ipore substitute illusions for
facts.
Another phase of this subject, which
there is no now to discuss, is rep
resented by Ihe question that has been
asked; Did] "psychologic force." con

INTERIOR VIEW OF NEW CI.UB HOUSE
New York, April 1. After two j
years of preparation the National j
Vaudeville Artists, inc., have for
mally opened their new clubhouse :
at 2119 West Forty-sixth street and
reveales the best equipped, most mod
ern, comfortable and artistic club
in America. All branches of the
theater were represented in the
great gathering of stage notables.
The theatrical clubs were represent
ed by committees of members. Ab
bott George M. Cohen of the Friars,
Shepherd R. H. Burnside of the
Lambs, Prompter Edwards Davis, of
the Greenroom Club, President John
Drew of the Players, President Ka
chel Crothers of the State Women s
War Relief, all headed delegations |
from their respective clubs. I
During the evening hundreds ot ,
artists, managers, composers, dra- j
matiBts, and newspapermen visited
the new club which was decorated I
with palms and flowers. Edwards ,
Davis, promoter of the Greenroom |
Club, delivered an eloquent address I
of opening in the pretty theater in j
which he dwelt upon the new spirit j
of brotherhood and co-operation
among the artists so wonderfully
expressed by the new clubhouse. He :
said that vaudeville hud been re- j
constructed and was the pioneer in |
showing the way to a better and .
fairer relation between artists and .
managers. He explained the aims of j
the N. V. A. and declared that it
bore out President Wilson s declara
tion in his Manchester speech that |
friendship must have a machinery, .
the means of constant friendly inter- ,
course, the means of common watch- j
fulness over common interests.
The N. V. A. represents more than >
twelve thousand artists with a di- j
rect and powerful voice in the con- i
duct of vaudeville and the right of
collective bargaining. The N. V. A. ;
is based upon the belief that the i
artist who invests his life in the the- j
ater is entitled to a voice in the con- |
duct of the theater and authority ,
in making the terms and conditions ,
of his employment. The unrest that ■
once existed in vaudeville was sim
ply one symptom of a condition that
we now see is world-wide. E - /'• |
Albee forseeing that the old rnles^j
and ways were no longer adequate
took counsel with the artists and the
result was the organization of the |
N. V. A. and the Vaudeville Man- :
agers' Protective Association which
work in harmony and have corrected
all that heeded correction and bound |
one another to fair and just deal- i
ing. Mr. Albee accomplished a i
great pioneering work in the eco- ,
nomic life of the theater when he j
worked out his reconstruction of ,
vaudeville. The speaker remarked
that it was significant of the trend l
of the times when that great man
of the theater, George M. Cohen,
gave his portrait with a highly com
mendatory inscription to Mr. Al
bee for the sole picture in the beau
tiful lounge and thereby expressed j
his sympathy with tne N. V. A. and |
its achievement in bringing artists |
and managers together in a close j
and fraternal bond.
The New X. V. A. Clubhouse !
Most modern in decoration and
equipment for comfort and enter
tainment in New York the new club
house of the National Vaudeville Ar
tists stands six stories high on a |
plot 72 by 110 feet at 229 West 461h
street —an ideal location just west
of Broadway in the heart of the
theater district. Tne building faced
with gray stone presents an impres
sive appearance of solidity and ar
chitectural grace.
Passing under the ornate porte
cochere one enters a roomy marble
vestibule. On one side is a large
coatroom just in front of the baser
ment floor devoted to a grill, toll- j
Hard room and barber shop. On j
the left of the foyer a wide marble •
stairway leads to the great lounge {
flooded with sun in the daytime and ;
at night lit by especially designed j
blue and gold chandeliers an lamps I
of exquisite artistry. The lounge is j
two stories high, the second leyel •
being a messanine used for a writing
room. The lounge is heavily paneled !
with rich Italian marble which is |
used in profusion throughout the j
lower floors. The matching is :
perfect, a great quantity of marble !
having been bought in order to en- j
sure harmony and balance in the
velning. The lounge is furnished '
with luxurious English club furniture
covered with fine figured mohairs i
and striped tapestries copying fa- |
mous handmade designs of the past. .
The walls are covered with a delight
ful shade of blue not to be seen else
where in this country and the furni
ture coverings and hangings, the
lamps and the fixtures are all in har
mony. This key of blue prevails
throughout. The floor is white mar
ble with Alps blue marble border.
In the center there lies a magnifi
cent Burgundy rug made for the
club. The ornamental center table
is a beautiful old Italian design in
keeping with the beautiful hand
carved mantle over the Italian fire
place. Palms in Chinese porcelain
cases are freely used.
Off the right hand corner of the j
lounge on the street front is the
ladies' room —the most artistic fca- j
ture of the club. This is exquisitely |
done in the late Georgian type. The
furniture is painted in blue with !
yellow stripes and decorated with lit- !
tie Wedgewood figures. The walls j
are covered with gold silk brocade
of striking beauty and the hang- .
Ings are all of the daintiest taffeta. '.
The floor is covered with . a black

there opens through arches framed I
with magnificent hangings the splen- j
did ballroom and theater. This is !
exceedingly rich and lovely in the j
Adam type itt ivory tints and an tin- j
usual shade of gold. The brocaded j
rose hangings are a master touch of
loveliness in a most impressive room. '
The stage is ample for entertain- j
meiits and productions being com- <
pletely equipped. Bimps, chande- j

Victory Stamp May Join
Class Sought by Collection
The United States is the lirst of
the allied nations to issue a special
postage stamp commemorative Of
victory. It has just meen put on
sale in the various Post Offices, and
as it is not likely to remain in use
for any great length of time, it may
ultimately become one of the rare
issues for collectors. The stamp is
of the three-cent variety, lavender
in color, similar to the regular
three-cent letter stamp and of the
same size, but the design is oblong
in shape. It depicts the Ooddess
of Victory with tlie flags of the al
lied nations. Prance, Great Britain,
Belgium and Italy, in the back
ground, the United States flag be
; ing in the center. The Goddess of
I Victory holds a sword in her right
I hand and the scales of Justice, up
lifted in her left hand.
It has been ten years since the
| Post Office Department has issued
a special memorial stamp. In 1909
j there were three issues of that kind,
' the first being the lancoln stamp
j commemorating the centennial an
! niversary of Abraham I.incoln's
| birth on February 12, 1809. This
was soon followed by the Alaska-
Yukon commemocrative stamp and
later appeared the Hudson-Fulton
stamp in honor of the celebration of
Robert Fulton's successful steam-
I boat trip up the Hudson river in
I'lBo7. These were all two cent
stamps and were used for only a
short time.
The first memorial stamps issued
APRIL 1, 1919.
by the United States were the Co
lumbus stamps, which canie out in
1893, marking the four-hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of
America. There were sixteen varie
ties, ranging in value from 1 cent to
$5, each stamp depicting a different
scene in the life of Columbus. Deal
ers date the stamp-collectiug fever
which has grown enormously in
later years to the appearance of
these stamps. Thousands of school- I
boys started collecting by buying I
the lower values of the Columbus
stamps, and dealers, anticipating
high values in future, laid in large
stocks; in fact, such large stocks
that the market value of the stamps
even including the high dollar val
ues, have shown but little advance j
to-day.
In 1898 the trans-Mississippi me
morial issue came out. It embraced
nine stamps, from 1 cent to $2. The
$1 and $2 values of this issue are
much scarcer than the correspond
ing values of the Columbus stamps.
The centenary of the purchase of
the territory of Louisiana was com
memorated in 1904 by five special
stamps—l, 2, 3 and 5 cents—and
for the Jamestown Exposition in
1907, celebrating the three hun
dredth anniversary of the settlement
there, the first English settlement
in the United States, a special issue
of three stamps appeared. The 1-
cent value had a portruit of Cap
tain John Smith, the 2-cent one a
view of Jamestown, and the 5-cent
stamp a portrait of Pocahontas.
Then came the three single issues
of 1909.

lated with the view of taking ad
vantage of a business opportunity,
it is different. Or if one is in close
touch with conditions in a certain
business, he might be justified in
taking risks in that field which
would be improper for one ignorant
of conditions to take. The degree
of risk that one is justified in taking
must be largely decided by the in
vestor himself, although others of
more experience or training might
I help him. It is the first point that
I should be decided. —The World's
