wonderfully blessed; but in the last she
was not encouraged by the ecclesiastics
In tho United States, and has resigned
her position rs mother general Of tho
Sisters of Peace.
Sister Mary Frances, as she Is COM
monty called, has served as Sister of
Peace for thirty years; she received her
latest commission, as organizer, from
his holiness the present pope, and a cir
cular letter of recommendation from the
propaganda; but the peculiar nature of
the work she attempted in America un-
avoidably produced misunderstandings
between her and her immediate su-
periors. AT length she retired from
work entirely, and tho report was pub
lished that she had renounced the Cath
olic faith and become Protestant, with
intent to do similar work In the Episco-
pal church. This statement she indig-
nantly denies, but gently complains In
her pathetic letter Of resignation that she
had been opposed where she had reason
to expect encouragement. The gentle
ness, sweetness and charity Of the "Nun
Of Kenmare" have long been known to
millions; and while her thirty years
service entitle her to honorable retire
ment, the fact will long be regretted,
especially by her Irish compatriots.

De Young, started a theatrical paper in
San Francisco. From this modest be-

Pacific coast and has an immense circu-

had feud with the family Of Claus
Spreckels, the California sugar million

NATURES MUSIC.

Slide up thy silver sands, O booming sea.
The pines that skirt thee catch thy minstrcisy,
And over ali the forest swells tone
That echoes but the music Of thine cwn.
Half silent rivers glide, save murlnurlng waves
Break singing where the sweeping current laves,
Whispering among the pebbles, low and sweet;
So low, SO sweet, wild birds the strain repeat
Down through great velvet cliffs, rich with green
moss,
Long, glltering chains the slipping torrents toss,
Shivering aud darting meath the arching trees
The wandering winds In mystic minor keys
SlrE their love songs above the waves and rocks
In harmony that every heart unlocks.

Father Lambert insisted that the trial
should be before the same public before
which "a Catholic" had made the
charges, and when the latter refused
Father Lambert called him Tartuffe
and told him to "mind his domestic con-
Germs"
1t turned out that "a Catholic" was
Bishop McQunid, Father Lamberts own
bishop. The bishop put upon the priest
certain restrictions, but Il was some time
before the priest knew whom "a Catho-
lic' was.
When Father Lambert asccrtained
that the bishop was going to Rome, he
thought that the quickest way to settle
all differences was to meet him before
the propaganda at Rome.

OUR r1REmEN.
Opinions Expressed AS TO What Our
City Dads Should DO for Them.

While sitting in little uptown
Office last evening", the conversation
turned upon the fire department.
There were present several firemen
and citizens generally, and the gem
eral verdict was that the firemen
did not get square deal. me
Said one, "Why every time there
is a fire, we are expected to run and
pull the hose carts through mud
and slush, exert ourselves to the
utmost, ruin our clothes, tire ourselves
all out, and then what do we get for
it? Why if we don't put the fire out
as quick as they think we ought, or
the building burns up, they tell us,
we're no good, and growl if the hose
is burst, or if there is any damage
done no matter how trivial, there is q
howl goes up."qt. y @ h
Having thus delivered himself he
settled back, and the rest took a
whirl. Said one. Sour firemen
ought to be paid for their services at
working fires" We agree to that
every time, they ought to be paid,
and right literally to. 1t was then
suggested that each one of the in
surance companies that do business
in the town, should be assessed a
certain per cent. of their premiumle-
ceipts, even one per cent. would
make goodly sum, by which the
department could be better equipped.
The insurance companies take thous-
ands of dollars out of GAINESVILLE
every year, and their losses in COM
parison, are very small.
One of the men said, "Why even
now the council are kicking because
they think the new bell for No. 8 is
too big and cost too much money, it
cost $40, and now they want to send
it back and get smaller one. They'd
better get a piece of old railroad iron
and put a rock handy for them to
pound on when there's a fire."
Another kicked because the council,
or one of its members, had ordered
the gas jet at the central engine house
turned off, because it burned up 81
worth of gas last month.
All seemed to agree that the boys
didn't get a square deal that they
should be paid for their services at
working fires and that the fire chief
should be paid so much year for
his services. The fire department is
doing good work and it is not
economy to tie their hands. On the
contrary the council should be liberal
with them, and we believe are ready
and willing to do what is right.
