FIRE.-A few weeks ago we called
the attention Of our citizens to our
want of facilities for extinguishing fires,
and recommended that, in the ahsense
of something better, every one who had
a house, whether residence, bust nes
house, or what not, should procure
and keep always at hand, good lad
der, SO that in case Of accident the top
of the building could be reached at
once. On last Thursdsy about 2
o'clock P. N. we heara the cry Of fire
and locking around beheld the unmis.
taxable evidences Of the fend, in q
volume of smoke arising from the
kitchen and out buildings Of our friend
and neighbor, 1ir. Richmond Dugpor,
We fastened to the scene Of disaster
az rapidly as we could, and were among
the first TO arrive. We found th,
building in which The fire originated
completely enveloped in fsnes, an
IN looking around, was unable TO dis
cover any means Of arriving at tic tol
oftlc main res dcnoe, v hich WIS the
only hope of saving it from tie de-
yuulii Element, and as tie best q al
could be done under the circumstances,
We. with the few otlers Who had arm
we'd, commenced to remove the furni-
ture &c. from the dwelling in order
to save as much as possible. In the
meantime, however, the citizens were
rapidly arriving and 10 a few minutes,
it was sscertsinel that some sctive
an energetic young gentleman, with
ont the aid Of even ladder, had reach
ell the top of the building, AMI our
attention with that Of many others was
directed towards the handing Of water
to those on top, many persons having
brought buckets with them, and there
being a well convenient. BY this
means Mr.. Dugger's main dwelling and
its contents were saved. The kitchen
and storeroom, in all three rooms,
were entirely consumed, with their
contents. We have no means Of as
certaining the exact loss to Mr.. Dug
ger, but know that it is considerable.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from cooking stove.
We take occasion, once more to ad-
wise our people to keep ladders and
buckets in readiness, for having no other
facilities for the extingushment Of
fires, these are very important. A
Babcock fire eKtinguisher arrived in
time to be Of some service in wetting
the walls next to the burning building,
but from some cause it did not work
well. Right here We want to say a word
with regard to our colored population.
Whenever fire occurs in our town,
they arc, and have always been, prompt
and efficient aids. They deserve the
thanks Of those who are more interes-
tel, for their valuable and cheertully
rendered services on all such occasions

RIGHT AND DUTY.-This age; with voice
arrogant and loud, is constantly speaking
of Rights. 1t seldom has a word to say Of
Duties. In speeches, books, pamphlets,
papers, magazines, reviews, ETC., we read
usque ad nauseans, of mans Nations sacred
rights-wbat they are how many Of them
the Tyranny of the Past has crushed,
which the liberality of the present must
recover; how they must be extended /;
what terrible crime it is to take away a
single right, ETC., ad inJinitunt. The whole
world rises mp, and shouts: Men and the
People must claim, recover, and exercise
all rights" 1t is the age of Rights. Right
is the talismauic word and Duty, which
ia n better word, with q deeper meaning,
lie forgotten.
And, yet, every Right implies Duty.
The privilege of possession bears with it
the burden of responsibility. Many Rights
better not be had at all, if they are had
only to be misused or abused. This pOpu-
lar clamor for Rights is accompanied by a
popular neglect of Duties. Better far
would it be to take mp the word Duty
and make it our watchwOrd.
When men use-and we'll use-all the
Rights they have, then, and not until then,
are they prepared for the extension. Give
men too many Rights, and inevitably they
abuse them.
Less of Right and more of Duty-that
is what we need. A. J. R.

FATHER FoLEY's LEcTURE.-As we antici-
pated, Odd Fellows Hall, on Sunday evening,
was filed to repletion. Indeed, tho subject as
announced, and the fact that it was to be
treated by Father Foley, could have produced
no other result; not to speak of the worthy
cause for which the lecture was delivered. As
o speaker, Father Foley is exceedingly interest
ing, his elocution being very clear and dis
tinct, and his flow of language profuse and
entirely under control. To these add q power
full and modulating voice, and an idea may be
formed of what pleasure may be derived from
listening to lecture 30 interesting sub
ject as the Orators of Ireland"
The Rev. Father Moynihan, of st. John the
Baptist's Church, for the benefit of which the
lecture was delivered, is highly gratified with
its pecuniary success, and, in his behalf, we
tender thanks to those who lent their presence
and their aid on the occasion.

On Saturday last, the Goth May, we had
the honor to meet, at the Archbishop's
residence, the Right Rev. Ignacio Monies
de Oca, the first Bishop of the recently
erected diocese of Tamaulipas. The
young, and as we can safely judge from his
mien aud conversation, the gifted prelate
passed through our city on his return from
Rome, where he had received the episcO-
pal conservation at the hands of Sovereign
Pontiff himself. Such an honor ia rarely
bestbwed upon even the scions of Europe's
nobility, who embrace the ecclesiastical
state; but to American republicans the
honor is now-s-days familiar. Of all the
Popes who have welded the sceptre sof
Christ's empire upon earth, our present
Holy Father is the only one who has visit
ed our shores.-Propagatear.

TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
ELECTION OF HIS HOLINESS, POPE FIus
THE NiNrH-Preparations on the grandest
scale are being made for the celebration OF
the anniversary of the election OF our Holy
Father to the Pontiical Tltssepss (which took
place on the night between the 10th ana
18th of June 1916 but, being after mid
night, in the Roman OrdO it is set down as
the 18th. On that day, Pope Plus will have
completed the twenty fifth year OF his Pom
tificate, having already exceeded the years
of any of his predecessors excepting st.
Peter, who reigned twenty-five years, two
months and seven days in Rome, about
seven years in Antioch and about eighteen
months in erusalem-making about thirty
three years and half altogether.
Owing to the Inconvenience of making a
grand public demonstration on a week day,
the procession will be postponed to Sun
day the 18th, when the citizens of New
Orleans will witness one of the most mag
nifcent pageants ever seen in this city.
There are other projects, in connection
with the proposed procession, which will
afford all Catholics another opportunity o
ehowing their love for the Holy Father
and which will bring comfort to him in hi
Affections but we are not prepared
present to mention them. Next Sunday
however, we will place the whole pro
rramme before our readers. In the mean
time, let US all determine to make the even
one which will mark joyful era in tn
life of every Catholic as we'll as in the his
tory of New Orleans.

As each day tails the weary cnimes
Assured that shall dawn. or soon or ia'e,
When God will grant q martyrs envied late

The Hibernia or St. Patrick's Hall.

We hope that this work will 60 on ac-
lively and under proper auspices. Tue
need Of something in the nature OF "a
tholic Institute centrally located in TINS
city has been long recognized. But the
question always was, who was to take the
initiative. There have never been wanting
gentlemen who had the public spirit TO
undertake the labor and trouble necessary
to such an enterprise, but where was the
money to come FRONT 1t required an i'm
mense sum even to secure the ground, and
altogether the prospects were discouraging.
portunity of realizing the desire of the Ca
tliolic public, and having both the will and
the mon ey he closed the bargain-the old
Odd Fellows' site was his.
Since then Mr.. Irwin has been offered
$25 600 bonus or advance on his bargai n /;
that is, he could sell the property for $751;
900, having given $4,000. But he is in
cation to the purpose which he propose cd to
himself in buying it, and at the price
which he gave, thus virtually making
donation to the enterprise of $4,000.
We repeat, then, that it Is greatly to'be
hoped that the Catholics of this city will
cooperate in this work and subscribe
enough to complete it, SO as not to lose 80
happy an opportunity. There may be
conflicting views as to what style of build
ing ought to be adopted and on other
practical points, but we are satisfied that
all these things can be arranged salts
factorily by a spirit of concession and
compromise on all sides.
OF course it cannot be expected that
Catholics, as such, shall interest themselves
in it unless the interests of religion are
consulted in the charter. But such names
as those of Father J. Moynihan, aud Father
Flanagan ought to convince all that this
point will have to be settled satisfactorily
before any arrangement will be considered
definite.
In addition to this hall we learn, by the
card of John McPhelin, Esq, published in
our last issue, that the Hiberni&n Benevo-
lent and Mutual Aid Association contem-
plate building another for their own pur-
poses. Might it not be possible to combine
both in onee 1t would seem that such
notifications of plan could be made as to
furnish the Hibernians with all the accom-
mOdations they could wish. At the same
time room could be made for other Ca
tholic association, and while the Hall
would always be the grand feature OF the
work subsidiary and very important one
would be the establishment of something
like Catholic institute. OF course this
would be almost impossible without the
cordial cooperation of the Hibernians.
We have no plan to propose, as we are
not architects, but we advocate mutua
and genial spirit of kindly concession.

CURIOUS CHANCE IN GOLD QUARrx.-M the meeting last year, of the British Association, Mir I. A. Readwin read a note on q gold-quartz erys- tal which he had picked up near Bala Lake, Wales, in 1863. At tha, time 1t was quite transparent, but tinged slightly with gold yellow, and under the microscope the color disappeared entirely The crystal was labelled and put away in his cabl net, where 1t remained unnotieed until 1869
 The crystal had then become more opaque and has now all the appearance of a solid crystal oi gold, which it has been taken to be quite ire quently The color is pale, but all the gold found In the locality whence It was taken Is light color cd, as 1t contains large percentage of silver sometimes as high as 20 per cent. MT. Readvin wished to bring to the notice of the association thss curious mineralogical fact. which gives room for much interesting speeulation.--S 2. Seie-s fife Press.
