A MYSTERY OF ST. PETER'S
Is the Tomb of the Apostle in Rome
Still Intact?
DOUBTS EXISTED FOR CENTURIES
Possibility of m New Exploration So
Kt'.t.U by m. Plan Which
Pope Plus X Has on
Ills Desk.
HOME, June 15. Pope Plus X has on
his desk a sectional plan of St. Peters
tomb In St. Peter's church, a copy of
which has been secured to accompany this
article.' According- to this plan the tomb
t could be reached frUm the underground
'crypts of the basilica, the greater part
of which prvnervee the original floor of
the old church Intact.
There Is a small chapel In the old crypts
named for San Salvatorlno, through which
archaeologists are convinced the original
Hteps leading down Into the tomb could
be reached. Such an exploration could
be easily undertaken secretly If the pope
consented to have removed the doubt as
to whether the body of St. Peter has es
caped desecration.
This doubt has "now existed for cen
turies. Ths fact that Plus X keeps the
plan of St. Peter's tomb on his desk Is
considered evidence that he has at least
t'i' en consideration to the proposal to al
low a thorough exploration of It to be
undertaken.
Annual Prayer of Pope,
livery yeur on the eve of the feast bf
St. Filer and St. Paul. June 29, when the
Vatican basilica Is closed for the night
and everything Is dark and quiet, the
pope, accompanied by his secretary and
four noble guards with drawn swords,
li lives his private apartment and, cross
ing many halls and corridors of the great
pnlnco. descends by a private staircase to
th silent and empty church, where he
kneels In prayer before the tomb of him
whuff liuccettsor he Is. For nearly 2,000
years every pope has knelt and prayed
b.foio the Fhrlne of St. Peter, the moat
mend spot In Home, and even In the
tine. A great many doubts have arisen
whole Catholic world, outside of Pales-i-oncrrnlng
the histoiy of this tomb. One
Is that relating to the exact locality where
St. Peter suffered martyrdom.
Ancient authorities are In complete agree
ment that the place of crucifixion was In
the Vatican and close to the tomb where
the Apostle Is burled, but owing to a nils
take of antiquarians of the fourteenth cen
tury the scene of the martyrdom has been
transferred to the Church of San Pletro
in Montorlo on the Janlculum. As a result
for some time the true tradition became
obscured and no clear knowledge remained
in Rome as to the locality In which die
martyrdom actually took place. In recent
years the doubt on this point has been
greatly diminished and It Is now generally
admitted that the martyrdom was on the
Vatican hill.
Doabt as to tbe Herord.
The records of the story of the burial
of the saint and the history of his relics
are scanty and sometimes even contra
dictory. Historians and antiquarians have
discussed them at great length for many
centuries but with Imperfect results. The
undisputed facts are the following: After
the martyrdom the body of the Apostle,
together with that of St. Paul, who was
beheaded on the same day, June 28, In
either A. D. 64 or 67, under the persecution
pf Nero, was taken down by some holy
people, who, having washed It, carefully
embalmed It, wrapped It In fine linen,
placed It In a marble urn and burled It,
on the Via Cornelia, close to the Circus
of Nero. The place was marked by an In
scription. St. Anacletus, who had been ordained by
St. Peter and who succeeded 8t. Linus
on the papal throne, built a memorial
chapel, memorla or oratory on the Apos
tle's tomb.
The bodies of the two saln's were not
left long undisturbed In their original
tomb. In 258 they were removed to the
catacombs of St. Sebastian, on the Applan
Way, under the Valerian persecutions.
After a short time the body of St. Peter
was tnken back and again laid In the old
tomb at the Vatican, while that of St.
Paul was buried close to the place where
he was beheaded and where his chuch
San Paolo fuorl le Mura, now stanza.
Second Translation of Peter.
There Is evidence of a second or a pre
vious translation of St. Peter's remains.
It seems certain that the tomb was on the
point of being destroyed or desecrated
on several occasions, notably during the
third century under the Emperor Hello
gabalus, who enlarged the Circus of Nero.
Evidence that It was spared Is found In
the fact that for two centuries the suc
cessors of St. Peter In the papacy were
j burled near his tomb, which from very
Each of the chief or
faot of the body is

Life, A chain is no

"weakness" it caused by lack of nutrition, the remit of weakness or disease
of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and
weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr.

cured, diseases of other organs which Mraa remote from the stooisch but which
have their origin tn a diseased condition of the stomach and
other orgsnt of digestion and nutrition, are cured also.

early times was known as St. Peter's
Confession and was regarded as the very
heart of the church.
It Is stated In the "Liber Pontlflcalls"
(Chronicle of the Popes) that the Em
peror Constantlne after his conversion
caused, about the year 321. the body of
the Apostle to be exhumed in the pres
ence of Pope Sylvester and placed in a
case of silver enclosed within a sar
cophagus of brass. Over this he placed
a Urge cross of pure gold weighing 150
pounds and an Inscription recording his
name and that of his mother. Helena
Augusta.
The body was then restored to the origi
nal lomb, over which he erected an altar
and a vaulted chamber faced inside with
plates of gold. He further decorated
the tomb with candellabra, silver lamps
and plates of gold and silver studded with
jewels. The erection of the great basil
ica, commonly known now aa Old Bt.
Peter'a, was begun by the emperor and
two years later It was consecrated by St.
Sylvester.
The great crisis in the history of St.
Peter's tomb was during the Invasion by
the Saracens In the year 847. They car
ried off all the ornaments and treasures,
together with the actual altar raised above
the tomb, but the body of the apostle
does not seem to have been Interfered
with.
Relies Profaned by Soldiers.
In 1627 the Imperial troops under the
Constable of Bourbon sacked Rome and
pillaged the basilica of St. Peter. A letter
written by Teodorlcus Vafer June 17, 1527,
says: "The urn or tomb. In which the
bones of the holy Peter and Paul were
laid, they (the imperial troops) broke and
profaned the very relics." The testimony
of this letter Is unsupported; hence the
old historians and archaeologists refused
to accept It.
It Is known on the evidence of a cer
tain priest, named Torrlgo, that In 1694,
when the old basilica was being demol
ished snd the present one built, the archi
tect Delia Porta opened a hole In the pave
ment of the confession, through which the
tomb of St. Peter became visible. Pope
Cloment VIII Is said to have seen, by
torchlight, the urn In which the apostle's
body was placed by Constantlne, and on It
the gold cross.
This would constitute positive proof that
the tomb was still Intact, were It not that
the conduct of Clement VIII by some Is
considered suspicious. He ordered the hole
to be closed at once, and he made Delia
Porta fill the opening with rubbish and
caused the whole matter to be kept secret.
Is It not likely, say those who doubt that
the tomb Is still Intsct, that Clement VIII
ssw that the urn waa empty and, horri
fied at the sight, had the hole closed and
the matter hushed up?
In 1892 Father Grlsar, with the pope's
permission. Investigated the ' tomb. He
ascertained that the hole opened by Delia
Porta was a passage known as the Cat
aract, communicating between the floor
of the confession In the church and the
tomb below, through which It was the
custom in the middle ages for pilgrims
to lower handkerchiefs and other objects
and cause them to touch the body of St.
Peter. Father Grlsar measured the Cat
aract and found It partly filled with rub
bish; consequently he could not explore
the tomb, but he Is convinced that It Is
still Intact. The same opening Investi
gated by Father Grlsar was partially ex
plored on three previous occasions. In 1748,
1TW and H45, but always with Imperfect
results.

Rise from Clerk at $5 a Week to One
of the Richest Men In France i
HU Famous Plctnres Trlcka
Art Dealers.
PARIS, June 32. Alfred Chauchard, the
founder of the great Paris department store
known aa the Magaslns du Louvre, who
has just died at the age of 88. was the son
of a country gardener. His business career
began when he went to work In a little shop
at $5 a month. He slept under the counter
and had to sweep the floor In the morning.
In those days his breakfast was 3 cents
worth of fried potatoea and hit evening
meal not much better.
In 1835 he hat risen to be head clerk of
the establishment with a salary of $240 a
year. Then he left Ma place and taking
as a partner Auguste Herlot, whom he had
met at a barber's shop, he founded what
grew into the great department store which
made Its originators two of the richest men
In France.
When their first difficulties in obtaining
a lease of the site they wanted and the
capital they lacked were overcome, success
followed rapidly. Thirty years later Chau
chard retired from active work a multi
millionaire. His partner, Herlot, attended
to the financial side of the undertaking,
while Chauchard was the salesman.
It was Chauchard who first had the Idea
of giving toy balloons to the children of
hit customers and who first ran a free
lunch counter, but his greatest success was
his Institution of a bargain day, when rem
nants were sold at prices that brought all
the women of Paris to his counters. This
wss a new thing, and great waa the sur
prise of his employes when they first re
ceived orders to cut up Into lengths of five
or six yards thousands of pieces of un
touched silk just received from the factory.
He was a perfect salesman, and endowed
with a splendid memory, he would often
remind a customer of some purchase he
had made ten or twenty years before, men
tioning the particulars, the form, color and
price. Even after he had left business If
he could persuade a friend to go to the
Louvre for a bottle of cologne or a pair of
gloves he was delighted, and seldom failed
to call at the store to see If his friend had
made the promised purchase.
After retiring In 185 from active work
he devoted himself to collecting works of
art and to philanthropy. His benefactions,
amounting to something like t464,0u0, en
tailed an amount of publicity, which It
may be said was far from displeasing
to him.
Many anecdotes are told of his art col
lections and the methods taken of Inducing
him to acquire certain works, a favorite
device being to persuade him that million
aire Americans were preparing to buy
them and that France ought to retain
them at any coat.
But If he was sometimes taken In he
bought many 'works of undoubted value,
arid a sale of hit collection would show
a good return on the money he Invested.
He possessed twenty-five landscapes by
Corot, which coat him some tfiOO.000. Of
these the "Passage du gue" cost HO, 000 and
the "Clairiere," a "View of Avray" and
the "Dense des Nymphes" $30,000 each.
He spent $7,000 for pictures by Daub
lguy, $73,000 for pictures by Decampa,

Dupre, Fiomentln arid Jsabey cost $200,000.
Mels8onler was abundantly represented In
his collection, the famous "1814," the
"Llseur Blanc," the "Llseur Nolr" and the
"Confidence," having cost over $iXX),000.
There are seven pictures by Millet, the
most noted, of course, being the "Angelus,"
bought for $140,000 In America, and the most
costly the "tergere et son Troupeau,"
which cost $200,000. He spent over $200,000
on Housseaus and $4)4,000 on Troyons.
All these and other pictures, Including
his portrait by Benjamin Constant, go by
his will to the Leuvre Museum.
His mansion In the Avenue Velasquex
contained collections of tapestries, mar
bles, bronzes, enamels and porcelains, and
busts of himself In marble and bronze of
every size and shape.
He waa promoted to the highest rank In
the Legion of Honor, the Grand Cross, by
President Fallleres In August, 1907. Only
six military and six civil members of the
order can be appointed to this grade, so
that Chauchard's nomination was a nine
days' wonder. According to the official
year book of the republic, he was promoted
in his capacity of "collector," but accord
ing to Paris gossip the honor was to clench
his resolution to leave his pictures to the
state, as his decision in the matter was
then believed to be wavering and there was
a possibility of his selling thc-m to Amer
ica. In fact, Chauchard skilfully used the
same bugbear to frighten the government
that had so often been used against him
the American purchaser.
Mr. Clauchard. with all his commercial
genius, was not free from minor human
weaknesses. He alwsys carried In his
pockets a horse chestnut and two potatoes,
the former, according to popular supersti
tion, as a charm against all malady, the
latter as a mascot against evil fortune.
Another fad of his was to refuse to em
ploy any man with red hair. No matter
how strongly recommended by high per
sonages, the man whose hair was red never
got a Job from him, and if he found one
among the 4.000 employes at the Louvre,
that man was Immediately paid off.
Here Is one of the many stories told of
his picture purchases. Indicating that he
judged a work chiefly by Its price. A
dealer one day offered him Troyon s cele
brated "Wntte Cow."
"How much?"
"Eight thousand dollars."
"Only that? It must be a forgery. Take
tt away."
The dealer told some of bit brother deal
ers of his discomfiture. They knew Chau
chard better than he did and offered to In
duce Chauchard to buy the picture on con
dition that they Bhould have part of the
proceeds.
A month later a Russian prince called at
the Velasquez avenue mansion and re
quested permission to visit the marvellous
collection. This was at once granted and
the prince before leaving was asked his
opinion.
"Admirable! But what a pity that It
does not contain a Troyon."
These words were reported to Chauchard
that evening, for he never accompanied any
visitors round his galleries, and an order
was sent to have Troyon's "White Cow"
brought at once to the house.
"Too late," came the reply. "The 'White
Cow' Is sold and has left Paris."
Thid, of course, only made Mr. Chau
chard the more keen and he Instructed
the dealer to find out what the new owner
would take for his purchase. In the em
Mr. Chauchard paid $0,000 for the pic
ture. Needless to say the Russian prince
was one of the plotters disguised, and the .
picture had never left the dealer's pos
session. He wished his funeral to be of the most
sumptuous character and paid to under
takers $40,000 In advance. But bethinking
himself that this sum was bringing him no
return, he demanded that the undertaking
firm should give him and eleven of hi
friends a banquet every year until the
necessity to use the money arono. Thus
each year with the interest on tho money
reserved for his burial he celebrated his
survival In the world.
He delighted In giving dinners at hi
house In the Bols de Boulogne, to which
he Invited the leading men of Paris. M.
Emlle Loubet, the ex-president, was fre
quently among the guests, snd Mr. Chau
chard wished to Include him among his
legatees, but M. Loubet expressly asked
him not to do to.
