Ae Speaks OF tho sancfIty of the
Marriage Sacrament.

BALTIMORE. March l6.-EvsIy seat III
the Cathedral was occupied THE morning
when the procession Of priests, semi
narsns and altar boys, headed by tie
oroas bearer and two aoclyt tes, entered
the sanctuary. Arohbishop Gibbons,
clothed in purple aud lace, was last in
the line, and WAS attended By the Rev.
DR.. D. j. 0'Connell, his late secretary,
aud the Rev. Alfred ]. Curtis Of the
Cathedral. In the course OF bis sermon,
speaking of the conference at Rome, the
archbishop aaid
1t was held in one Of the back rooms in
the college of the Propaganda. Three
cardinals were preaent-viz., S!meoni,
Jacobini and Francisco. There was
perfect liberty and peace in all the
discussions. Nothing Of political
character entered the conference, the
Catholic church having no direct
connection with politics. The higher
education OF the priests, in order that
they may be better prepared to battle
against modern scientists who are at
variance with religious belief. was dis
oussed at some length. The church Of
God, has nothing to fear from the
advancement OF science.
Another important question considered
was the education Of the Catholic youth.
You know the boys and girls Of to day
will bs the men and women OF to morrow,
and their education under the guidan
of the church ia very important matter.
Marriage slso engaged the attention Of
the prelates. Upon the sanctity Of this
sacrament depend the very lives of the
contracting parties. At present it is at
tackled by two great enemies-viz., Nor
monism and divorce. Many Of the other
points discussed and considered would be
out Of place were | 10 speak Of them now.

Some Old Brandy with a Rich Body

Philadelphia Press special.
ISLAND SHOALS, Ga, March 15.-While
Samuel Mcdaniel, a young farmer, was
at work in field his plow struck some
obstruction, stopping the mule. He
found that 1t had caught in the handle OF
a fve-gallon jug, which WAS slowly
pulled out Of the ground. The & had a
cork stopper, sealed with sealing wax,
and piece Of tin dou bied over it,
with wire fastening, making it
perfectly SECURE. Mcdaniel was anxious
to know wnat was In the Jug and, taking
To re! sUrsw Ct the plow, he twisted off
the wire. This enabled him to take out
the cork.
lie then placed the jug on stump,
a-d, applying his lips, tasted the best
brandy he had ever sampled. So oapti-
vaed was he that he drank several
times, and, at last, the liquor overcoming
him, he slipped down asleep at the foot of
the stump. Failing to come home to
dinner, his mother went out to the teld
after him, when he was about waking up.
Together they save the jug another ex.
animation, when Mrs. McDaniel's atten-
tion was attracted to its great weight. An
investigation showed the presence of
1900 $5-gold pieces, making total of
So, 500.
The mystery was cleared up in singu-
lar manner. MoDsuiel's grandfather was
q captain in the Florida war. II was
known that he was wealthy before he
left. On news of his death in one of thu
battles with the Indians his heirs could
find DO trace of his money. The fact
that years after his only grandson and
heir should have found his fortune is
singular accident. The finding of this
jug leads to the hope that there may bs
others, and the ploughing of that field
ia watched with interest.
