PATRONAGE OF sT. JOSEPH.
Sermon of Father Ahcrn Preached Yes

Sermon of Father Ahcrn Preached Yes
tertiay ut st. Matthew'S.
The Rev. John Ahern, tho recently appointed
assistant priest of st. Matthew's church,
preached an eloquent sermon yesterday on
The Patronage of st. Joseph" lie said that
Sunday had been chosen for the celebration
of the feast of the patronage OF St. Joseph,
in order that the people might fifty observe
1t among the Joys of tho Paschal tide. He
said No mortal was over ON such terms Of
intimacy and familiarity with Jesus as
Joseph was and it is, therefore, but
natural to believe that in return
from him here that Jesus now repaid him in
heaven with special power and special honors.
This was the belief Of the church, the convic-
ton of tho faithful, and the motive which
suggested the festival. The Lord, i'm
deed, is our helper and our pro-
the greatest confidence in Him. But since
He treated Joseph in this world as His
father, and looked up to him as His pro-
tector, Joseph becomes now the minister of
that protection unto us, and tho festival
presented him to us as such, and directed us
in our need to address ourselves TO him. We
would not, however, venerate st. Joseph as
our protector on earth unless God had So
lected him as Marys spouse. II was only
because he was the spouse Of Mary and the
protector and guardian of tho holy family
that he had become the patron Of the church
which the child Jesus, whom he bore In his
arms as father In Nazareth, founded"
After speaking of tho mystery of the inn
maculate conception and the incarnation,
Father Ahern said: at Is Gods will that
Joseph, more than any other saint, should
have power to apply TO us tho blessings Of the
mystery of tho incarnation--the great mys-
terry whereof he, after Mary, was the chief
earthly minister. There is moment
of our existence which is the most
important moment of life, because eternity
depends upon it; that moment is the moment
of death. But Joseph is intrusted with the
office of making death happy. His own death
was sublime spectacle, and wo feel our fear
Of death abated by tho thought that Gods

WATER RUNNING UP HILL.
Scheme 10 Carry Lake Vessels Over
Niagara Falls In Safety.


With the Mcdonald boat way in operation
the near future may witness large steamboats,
running from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie
over the now impossible Niagara Falls,
where n wide river Of deep water dashes
wildly over precipico and falls with accom-
panying thunder and great clouds Of spray,
hundreds of feet below. Col. Mcdonald is a
member Of the United States fish commission.
A model of his remarkable boat way was
placed in operation Saturday at the armory
building on Sixth street southwest. The
model is about nine feet long and consists of
one foot in thirty. In the center
of the trough are cells, while the sides
are Il series of triangular cavities. Tho
water falls in succession into each.
cell as 1t passes down the way and Is forced
from beneath into tho triangular cavities
and to tho surface again. These cavities face
the top Of the way, and as the water rushes
through them it goes upward forming an
upper current. The effect Of the way is that
q waterfall, OF strongly flowing current, can be
forced to run up hill instead ofdown. To illus
trate this several small boats, with crews of
wooden figures, were in operation on Satur-
day. They were placed in the way at tho
bottom and, without the least aid from any
one, they passed swiftly up the ascending
Col. Mcdonald said to REPUBLICAN re-
ported: ut is possible to tame the wild falls
Of tho Niagara with one of these ways. Of
course, it would be costly operation, but it
would establish steamboat communication
between Lakes Ontario and Erie. The incline
would have to be about 1000 feet long, with
a fall of one foot in forty. The current could
be forced up the way with sufficient velocity
to carry tow of vessels to the top without
any assistance from either steam or sails
There are three points on the Ohio river
where navigation is INSTRUCTED. My boat
way would render these points navigable
and do away with looks and gates"
A model of the proposed fish way for the
Great falls Of the Potomac was also on exhi-
biton at the armory building on Saturday.
The fish way in operation will enable fish to
swim over the falls in order to reach the quiet
water beyond, where they can spawn without
danger from the voracious fish that inhabit
the lower Potomac. The plans of the Great
falls way will be submitted to the United
States engineers department this week and
tho contractors will begin work about June l..

besides many congressman and others, wit

ton Cmy Bible Society.

ington City Bible society was held last night

were made by Rev. DR.. Cuthbort, pastor of
Thirteenth Street Baptist church; Rev. DR..
Edwards, pastor of Mckondreo NJ. L. church;
Rev. DR.. Cox, and Rev. DR.. Pitzer. The lat
ter took occasion to say that during the civil
war, when almost every other organization
was rent in twain, the Bible society con-
tinued its work of everywhere distributing
the work of God, and among tho blue and
the gray; that tho Bible society was national,
and not sectarian. At intervals during tho
addresses the choir Of tho church rendered
several sacred selections.
Mr. Pratt, chailman Of tho committee upon
nominations for the four remaining vacan-
cies in the board of directors of the Bible
society, not filled at the recent annual meet
ing, reported the names of Messrs. William
+. Allen, S. r. Bond, George A. Thomas, and
Job Barnard. They wero unanimously
elected. The exercises closed with benedic-
tion by Rev. Dr. Cortis, of New Orleans.

grand larceny, the specific complaint being
for stealing two mules, a crime which in o

alleges that Joseph brought two Of his mules
