New Your, Dec. lit—A burglar enter.
ed the Church of St. Jean Baptiste. in
East Seventy-sixth street, with the evi-
dent intention of carrying of! the relic oi
St. Anne which is enshrined there.
This is the fourth attempt of thekind
made since the reliefs. arrival from Room
a year ago. In each instance-the burglar
got into the church by means of a latch
key. After the third attempt Rev. Father
Tetreau engaged a watchman to shop in
the church.
, Notwithstanding this precaution, the
burglar got into the edifice again last
week. The watchman discovered the fact
on the following morning. when he no-
ticed that a door which he had looked the
night before was open.
The strange feature of thfieburgiarlous
visits is that nothing has ever been miss-
ed, although many valuable articles used
in divine worship are kept in the church.
The belief that the object of the intruder
or intruders has been to steal the relic is
strengthened ' by the circuiiislnnce that
the burglars invariably left traces of hav-
ing rummaged about in the neighborhood
of where the relic is exhibited in the day-
time. As if anticipating such attempt.
Father Totreou has made it a rule to lock
the relic in his safe every night. '
Religions Zeal—Perhaps.
What ultimate object the thief might
have in desiring to possess hlmsclf of the
relic is as yet. of course only conjecturnl.
There are plenty of mm on record in
countries of southern Europe where the
apparel of dead saints has been stolen from
their bodies by persons who treasured the
articles thus smuied as sacred relics. The
seal of somoof these misguided persons
has led them so ferns even to mutilate
the bodies of the saints in order to have
some memento of them. it is pinsibie
that the burglar of St. Jean Beptlste's
church is imbued with a similar zeal.
When the presence of the watchman
was found to be an inadequate guard
against burglary, Father Tetrcau had a
belt placed upon the door. That this pro-
caution was not superfluous was spcsxlily
made apparent. for the following night
the church door was again unlocked, proli-
ably by the some burglar. Whoever this
may be, and whatever object he may have
had in view. it is very evident that he is
not a professional housebrcakcr. as the
single bolt presented such an obstacle to
him that he had to abandon his task for at
least that night.
it Is a Famous lie-lie.
'l‘ho relic is a portion of bone said to
have been out from the wrist of St. Anne.
the mother of the Virgin Mary. it is al-
leged to have effected many miracu-
lous cures. Thousands of people daily vistt
the church in order to have the relic up.
plied
The blind. the deaf, the lame. rheumau
ies, neuralgia sufferers and consumptivos
--in a word. victims of almost every dis—
ease—find one or more representatives at
St Anne's shrine every day, and many of
those who are said to have been cured have
testified to the oilicncy of the relio's pow—
ers by making some donation. it lather-o-
fure possible that the burglar who has
made such persistent attempts to secure
the relic imagines that a great ransom
will be paid him for its return.
Father ’l’ctrcau declined to say any more
about the attempted burglaries than to ad-
mit that they had occurred. 'ilo said that
he and his assistants had kept the matter
secret because they believed that they Were
on the track of the misereant and Were
afraid that publicity wuuld drive him to
cover.
