1hE HhERNIAN BANNER AT ST. JOSEPH'S
FAIn-On last Monday night the ballot box
was closed, anu the counting of the votes were
proceeded with at once. There was o scene of
almost wild excitement for about an hour be-
fore the polls closed, il the fate of the coun-
try was at stake, and the future happiness Of
the human family depended upon the issue.
In about an hour after the counting began.
the commissioner" Mr.. Geo. Swarbrick. re-
turned the following as the result of the vote:
Branch No. I, 1904 votes; Branch No. 2, 8 yotes;
Branch No. ), 1349 votes and declared Branch
No. "duly elected to carry off the elegant
banner. We will not reopen the wounds which
were gaping on all sides on tho announcement
of the result of the balloting. The members of
Branch No. 3, who thought that it was matter
of impossibiiity, that they could be beaten
on their own ground, felt as if q fatal blow
had been dealt them, and although they gave
honor to whom honor was due" and often
pledged the health of the victors, they retired
from the hall with their "hearts bowed down
by weight of woe" Their only consolation
lies in the fact that they were not aware of
the fact that Branch No. seriously intended
to compete for the banner, as there were but
two or three of the members of that Branch
who attended the fair, and up to the last hour
exhibited no symptom of an earnest contest.
Had the members of Branch No. 3 been salts
fed that their antagonist was so formidable, it
is possible that the result would have been diff
ferent. AS it is, all hail, we say, to Branch
No. 1
The next evening Branch No. turned out
very strong, numbering some 175, and marched
from their hall, in this bnilding, to the fair,
where the banner was duly presented. Their
march was enlivened by some triumphant
| music from the brass band of st. Loseph's
school, The boy-musicians were appropriately
dressed in handsome green jackets, rs though
| to celebrate q Hibernian victory.

81 will 90 with you, dear. as baby is
now sleeping nicely. Don't have him
rocked much, Mrs. Marshall 1t causes
tendency of blood to the brain, and makes
him only more fretful when he wakes. Let
me help you lift this tub of suds outside
the door, and leave the floor unwashed till
morning, won't you, dear! Then you can
rest little. till your husband comes to
supper, and it won't look half so sadly to
him as an overworked wife"
She left the cottage, but how had her
short visit changed everything to Lizzie.
She was rested both in body and mind, and
the truth was, that the mind had needed it
mcst.
1t is so with most overburdened house
keepers The hurrying round Of little
duties, each trifling, yet each necessary to
the great whole, family comforts, presses
upon the nerves, so jars the sensitive
spirit, as often to destroy the very object it
seeks to accomplish.
Lizze's husband was so surprised by the
neatly laid supper table and his little wife, $
smile of welcome, that his worried business
look passed away at once, and when the
little girl returned, bright and happy, with
her bouquet of flowers for its center. no
one looked under the pleasant supper table,
at the tired woman's unwashed floor.
Weary wives! Busy mothers. blessed
with too many of those treasures which yet
you would not spare, to even know an
hour Of perfect rest until another day.
You will be refreshed for more endurance
tomorrow. Envy not the neatness that
reigns in the chldless home For worlds
you would not exchange places with that
woman; therefore leave her in peace to
the order and taste, and elegant leisure
with which she wisely adorns hearts void.
Bear what you may of ife's burdens, and
lay the rest at His feet who hath said,
through the Psalmist, "who goeth forth
and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bear
ing his sheaves with him"

A Thrilling Story.
We arc indebted to the Portland Arqus

IF We are not mistaken, we have heard
or read somewhere that truth is stranger
than fiction" An instance, strictly true.

illustrates that, and also exhibits with al.
most thrilling effect the danger of mob

the commercial travelling business for a
Chicigo house, was recently travelling out
in the far West, when he was taken DOS.

him, and there were those who did know

was that he was the man they wanted. In
this way he was taken ninety miles into

friend thought it was up with him sure.
Expostulations were received with derision.
Everybody recognized him as q notorious
horse thief, whose depredations in the vi

was to lynch him. He tried to pray, but

In all that crowd there must be some

explain how it was done, for several rea-
sons, the chief one of which is, we don't
know. But he gave it, and in an instant
one of the foremost citizens of the town
sprang to his side, and he gave some more
Masonic signals, and the prisoner was
quickly surrounded by twenty or thirty de-

Local ENTERPRIsE.-There are some
places more remarkable for their local en-.
terprise than Others Wherever a number
of energetic men locate to embark in the
different avocations of life, there you may
expect to see local enterprise. The sue.
cess that almost universally follows energy,
is certain to induce others to settle in their
midst, and follow as close as possible the
course pursued by these who were lucky !;
and thus the population increases and the
inhabitants are vieing with each other in
their strides Of enterprising energy, until
the whole people have caught the flame
and their success soon attracts thousands
from other sections, so that fresh capital is
invested and new fortunes are soon carved
out which gives more impetus to the enter
prisiug spirit, that but few had COM
menced. Any one who takes retrospec.
tive glance over the history of Chicago for
the past fifteen years, can see fair and
grand illustration of what We say; place
that eighteen or twenty years ago was but
"howing Wilderness" stands to-day
foremost among the leading cities of the
nation; not so much on account Of the su-
pcriority of her natural advantages, as of
that great spirit of public enterprise that
always pervaded her men Of wealth, and
which is to this day characteristic Of the
wealthy citizens of Chicago.
There are other places cursed with men
of different character-men whose fever.
ish swamps and open prairics become so
valuable as to make them wealthy as the
country scttled-men who build such ten
ements as afford the least comfort to the
laborer and mechanic for exorbitant rents
men whose exclusive profession is to
"shave" city warrants, and charge any
where from twenty to forty per cent. of
those that hard times compel to borrow
little money-meu who would never invest
dollar in any enterprise that would give
employment to others, and be conducive
of general good to tho people, unless it
paid such dividend that any legitimate
business could not afford Council Bluf'
Times.

FRIGHTFUL FAMINE IN PERsIA.-A
correspondent writing, June 10, to a
Turkish journal from Labruse, says :
"The details which reach us here of the
destitution and misery which the drought
of last year has caused in the interior and
southern provinces of Persia is fearfully
heartrend>wing. People dying of hunger,
even in the streets of the capital is but a
minor phase of the terrible calamity. Pa
rents are selling their children as slaves to
the Turcomans in order to keep them
alive; and in Ispham, it is said men have
been found digging up corpses to serve as
food for their starving families In Sprix,
German Yesiti, the wretched sufferers en-
deavor to support life on grass and roots
which they may find in the vicinity and,
as might be expected, pestilence follows
hard on the footsteps Of famine. Between
them, half of the Kingdom of Persia is be-
coming rapidly depopulated."

The Catholic Protsst-BostOn Meeting.

BosroN, MASS, Jan. 6.-The Catholics
of Boston assembled in the music hall IN
large force this evening to express their
sympathy with Pope Plus the Ninth In his
deprivation of temporal power. Not one
half who sought admission could be &C
commodated with standing room. Patrick
Donohue presided. The Right Rev. John
J. Williams, Bishop of Boston, briefly ad-
dressed the meeting, explaining why the
Catholics should protest against the Italian
usurpation. He claimed that Rome was
given to the Pope to govern for the rest OF
the world, that the poor and weak churches
might be assisted from central point. !he
emperors, from the time OF Constantine,
contributed to the general fund: That
Emperor, returning from the Holy CITY,
left the Pope as governor. The successors
of St. Peter were established as temporal
sovereigns, with the aid of France, at the
time of the invasion of the Lombards, more
than one thousand years ago, as the heao
of the Church of the world. Hence Kome
was the capital of the world, and tnt
Church had right to protest against III
discontinuance as such.
