A MEXICAN SUPERSTITION. While we
were "roughing it, at the mines near
Taos, among the Mexicans, we met a
curious superstition. An old Mexican.
of eighty years had died the night pre-
vious, and, as is usual at such times,
the widow had at once put herself to
the task Of preparing banquet which
should do honor to the imfrequency of
the occasion. This supper is one of
the things which must certainly receive
the proper attention in event Of death
in the house of a Mexican, though pov-
erty require the sale of the last thing in
the dwelling. About the time of this
"wake" we met an aged Mexican, and
while talking of the occurrences of the
night he said, with most undoubting
faith, that the old man who had recent
ly died was nova burro; that he him
self could not live much longer; that he
as we'll as his deceased friend should
turn into donkey. Iqueried whether
their present life was not considered
harsh enough, that must be subjected
to another season of unease, to beating
after death in the body, in the frame Of
q donkey Cor. Troy, N. T., Times.

Swear Not at All.

Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill county,
has Just decided 4 case in his court, which
presents some almost forgotten features of
the law of this state, against swearing
man named Boshore was fined $16.OS for
swearing twenty-four times, being g. cents
for each oath. The act of 1914, under which
the justice acted, provides that elf any
person of the age Of sixteen years or up
wards shall profanely curse or swear, by
the name of God. Jesus Christ or the Holy
Ghost, every person SO offending, being
thereof convicted, shall forfeit and pay the
sum Of 81 cents for every such profane
crrse or oath. < < = To curse and
swear by any other name or thing, is
liable to fine of forty cents for each curse
or oath
The case was appealed to court, and
owing to some infOrmality, the court was
compelled to reverse the proceedings. The
main point of the decision. in this case, is
it's pithy conclusion. Judge Pershing
says: 1.-THE general prevalence of pro-
fame swearing indicates that the statute
under which this defendant was convicted
had long been buried out of sight. Per-
haps its resurrection in this case may ac
complish some good by showing those who
have no regard for the law of God that
the law of the land imposes upon them
a penalty of from forty to sixty-seven
cents to be followed by imprisonment,
accompanied with a diet of bread and
water, on refusal to pay for each and
and every time they pollute the atmosphere
with their profanity

severe scalp wound. and the other struck
Lucian Baker, a lawyer. standing on the
sidewalk about 600 feet away, in the left
side, about two inches below the nipple,
and passed through his body, infiicting a
very serious wound. He was the man who
defended Thurston, and cleared him, when
he was tried for numbering Embury.

Dedication OF the Catholic Chapei-Mi i>cella-
neOus Items.
Hereafter Thursday, May 2G, will be
memorable to the members of st. Mary's
Catholic chapel, of Mount Joy. not only
because of the feast in honor of the Blessed
Sacrament. which occurs Oh that day, but
from the fact that for them has been dedi-
Gated chapel in which to worship. On
this mission yesterdays mail train, No. !,
due here shortly before noon, brought
from Lancaster Fathers Kaul and Christ,
OF st. Anthony's church Grotemyer, of
St. JOseph's, and Foin, of Elizabethtown,
who were accompanied by some eighty
persons of Lancaster. On their arrival the
reverend gentlemen were driven to the
chapel, OH New Haven street, where after
alightin9 they moved in procession with
attendants, around the edifice, Father
Grotemycr sprinkling the holy water as
they advanced. The circle COM
pleted, they proceeded to the
sacristy, and shortly the chapel was com
fortabIy filled, while here and there groups
Of men and women sought the shade at
various points along the street. Several
hundred persons were present, and this
number would have been doubled if
the citizens had known the hour when the
exercises were to take place. Many were
on their way to attend when the ceremo-
nies were ended. We understand that high
mass should have been celebrated by Rt.
Rev. Bishop Shanahan, of the diocese Of
Harrisburg, but he being an attendant at
the parOchial council assembled at Phila-
delphia, Father Christ was celcbrant. He,
attired in the prescribed vestments, with
deacon and sub-deacon proceeded from the
sacTisty to the altar, which was profusely
decked with beautiful flowers. Above it
were suspended evergreens, and Oh it
burned numerous candles, the glare of
which, on the bright hues of the flowers
and those of the vestments. was pleasing.
St. AnthOny's choir sweetly chanted the
responses of the mass, with instrumental
accompaniment, Miss Louisa Decker,
mon, in which he briefly reviewed the his
tory of the church, pictured the training
of Jesus Christ by st. Mary, with illustra-
ton replete with thought and words of
Divine inspiration. In few remarks in
German Father kaul congratulated the
members on the result of their effors in the
past year, commended their course, and
concluded with several announcements,
and at half-past one the ceremonies were
concluded, with ample time to return on

MICHAEL MALONE's FUNERAL.

Solemn Services-A Large Attendance.
All that was mortal of Michael Malone
was consigned to the tomb to-day. Rel
atives and friends of deceased assembled
at his late residence, corner Of Orange and
Shippen streets, at 9 o'clock this morning
to take last look at the benignant face
with which they had SO long been IA
miliar. The body, handsomely clothed,
lay in an elegant casket, silver mounted,
and decked with choicest flowers.
The casket was placed in hearse, and
accompanied by friends in carriages, was
taken to st. Mary's church, West Vine
street, and placed on a catafalque in front
of the altar, which was heavily draped in
mourning. Solemn requiem mass was
celebrated, Rev. Father Hickey, of st.
Mary's, being celebrant; Rev. Father
McKenna, Of Harrisburg, deacon; Rev.
Father Grotemyer, of St. Joseph's, sui :
deacon; Rev. Father Kaul, of St. Antho-
ny's, master of ceremonies, and REV.
Father Christ, of St. Anthony's, assist
ant.
The musical portion of the services was
rendered by the choir, under the lead of Mr..
VIM. Altick, Miss Adele Harberger singing
in excellent voice the solo, "AngeIs ever
bright and fair.
The absolution of the body was given by
Rev. Father Hickey, after which the
funeral Grafton was preached by Rev.
Father McKenna, of Harrisburg. The
Grafton was eloquent and pathetic, and was
listened to with deep interest by the large
present, among whom were
an unusually large number of non-C Catho-
lies including many members of che
learned professions.
At the close of the services, the funeral
cortege, consisting of about thirty coaches,
and moved to St. Mary's ceme-
terry, where the interment took place, the
remains being deposited in the vault
erected for the purpose under direction of

SUPERVISOR SNOwDEN will have to
revise his list of census enumeratOrs for
this city. Two of the best workers in
their respective wards who were on his
list have been sent to Jail for thirty
days for their completely in the disorder
ly and disgraceful proceedings which
marked the meeting of the Republican

hard to prove that the gang of ruffians
who disturbed the proceedings of last
Monday in Fulton hall, and caused a riot
on the street, were hired by some of the
political bosses to do that sort of work,
and while the severe but well-merited
punishment which the mayor has in
needed lesson, it will he a great pity if
the responsibility for their conduct be
not traced to its proper source and their
employers held to answer. The best
workers in the ward'' have been encour-
aged by past experience to believe that
they were above the law. Representa-
tions of the value of their services Oh
election day have secured for them i'm
munity from punishment, and the court
has not called those to answer who de-
ceived it into allowing miscar-
riage of justice. The mayor, who
expressed his inability to maintain peace
and order if those who were turned over
by him to the courts were to be thus
dealt with, now avails himself of his
power of summary committal to vindi-
cate the broken law, and he merles the
thanks of the public for his resolute eff
forts.

Mixed In his Memory.

The venerable Cameron seems to have
been mistaken in supposing that he gave
Curtin his nomination for governor.
The fact turns out to have been quite
otherwise, and by the concurrent testi-
mony of Gov. Curtin, Col. Mcclure, who
was the governors right political bower,
and of everybody else who has recollec-
tion of the history of that ancient time, 1t
seems to be well established that Simon
Cameron did all he could to defeat Cur
tins nomination. 1t is quite remarkable
that the aged WinnebagO's memory
should so far lead him astray. His sud-
den revival to the manifestation of inter-
est in political affairs, instead OF being
mark of mental strength and activity,
seems rather to be the result of waning
powers of mind. Mr.. Cameron's faith
in Grants popular strength is another
indication of mental weakness, but
as it is are that his son Donald also
claims to hold it may perhaps he charged
to hereditary disposition to see things
as it is pleasant to see them. 1t is fail
ing plenty of people have, but it is not
often developed so strongly rs just now
by Simon Cameron. No doubt 1t is dis
agreeable to him to contemplate the fact
that he did not get recommendation to
the presidency from the convention that
nominated Curtin for governor and the
only rational explanation that occurs to
him is that he must have wanted it Just
so or it never would have happened.
He is evidently ah old man who is very
careful about telling the exact truth-as
he understands it. 1t is charged against
him that he says that he lent Curtin three
thousand dollars for his canvass. Cur
tin says he did not. But he never said
that he had: his story was that he re-
ferred Curtin to his son Don, since he
did not for particular reasons wish to
give him any money himself. He de-
clares that he does not know what Don
did about it. Evidently, therefore, Don
never called Oh him for the money. This
narrative of the aged Simon bears about
it the ear-marks of truth, in everything
except the fact that Curtin applied to
him for Il loan. That, of course, we
know was not so, since they were not
friends. That is trifling mistake, how
ever, excusable to one of Mr.. Cameron S
years. No doubt somebody applied fo1
a loan for political expenditure, and was
referred to Don: who referred him
to somebody else until finally he got the
money out of the fund stolen for the
purpose from the people and the vener
able senator never knew that anybody
had received money from any one fol
anything. He was innocent as IA laml
rs he always has been. He is a deal
sweet old gentleman, whose heart ha
always overflowed with charity for every
body, including himself, and who neve
let his right hand know his left hand :
deeds, and who is naturally therefore ;
little mixed in his statements of things.
