A RESPECTFUL PROTEST
MADE BY IRISH CATHOLIC MEMBERS
OF PARLIAMENT.
Against the Pope's Observation-Disclosures
Over the Edict subsidinS - Rnssian
Press Attack acknowledgements Al.
fairs-British Guiana Discomfort.

LONDON, May is-The meeting which
was held in Dublin last night by the Irish
Roman Catholic members of Parliament,
for the purpose of consulting in regard to
the Papal rescript, was q private affair,
and no report of it has been made public.
1t is pretty certain, however, from what has
been learned OF its results that respectful
protest against Roman meddling in Irish
politics was adopted, and a safe course
marked out for the faithful to follow.
The irritation that was at first
felt in Ireland over the rescript
has greatly subsided, and the effects
of the Papal document, if it had any, have
been discounted by the feeling that has
been agitated against it. The rescript will
probably not be a very great source of an
noyance 10 the patriotic Irishman, who
also wants to be a good Catholic. As its
injunctions become better known, as ex-
planned by Archbishop Walsh, it seems
probable that the Catholic Nationalist can
reconcile many, if not all. OF his former
practices to conscientious following OF
the church.
The Russian press has suddenly burst
forth in an attack upon England for her
supposed alliance with the central Europ-
can powers. Taking it for granted that
England is about to join the alliance, If
she has Eot already done so, the Russian
writers give Inference to the solemn warn
ing that England will be made to pay
dearly If she follows out any mistaken
policy to central Asia or elsewhere where
Russia is concerned The articles, which
are of course inspired, give the strongest
evidence that the Car is irritated at the
popular movement in England in favor of
efficiently strengthening her defences and
arming her forces.
Parliament rose last night for the Will
suntide recess and does not meet until the
Slst of the month.
A conference was held yesterday after
noon by number of prominent peers in
order to discuss social reforms and to
formulate non-political action in regard to
them.
We will probably see the result of their
deliberations soon. Australia, especially
New South Wales, is incensed at the
apathy shown by the Imperial parliament
over the troubles they are having with
Chinese immigrants Earnest appeals come
from the Colonial Government to have the
matter disposed of and the Mongolian

The maharajah good naturally assented to

the splendor of the full moon begun to

water announced that the sacred bath was in

had awakened both passengers and officers,

ceremonial, which was by nd sseans to their

Religious Bath in oIid-oeean.

An eclipse of the moon was to take place
between 2 and 8 in the morning, and the
Maharajah, as devout Brahmin, was bound
to go through certain religious rites in con-
sequence, one of the most important of which
was thorough cold water bath, To give
time for these proceedings the steamer had
to be stopped for three hours during the
night, and this delay was compensated by
the maharajah (who would certainly need
his proverbial wealth if this sort of thing
were to happen often with payment of
1850 rupees, or about S. for every minute of
detention.
He did the same thing once before" said
the captain to me, ''when he was making a
voyage with us along the coast, and then he
stopped the ship for three hours and paid
1000 rupees for it just as he's going to do
now. But that time he let down boat into
the sea and had regular bath, which I'm

brings on suc1ue IKE uIgnU aG the croso
of every business day. The causes which
tempt men 10 commit suicide must be re-
moved by the statesman and the economist
rather than by the physician"
Another very eminent physician of the
city, who did not want the reporter under
any circumstances to mention his name,
said that ne agreed entirely with DN Hamil-
toms statement that hot, ''muggy' weather
was the weather which suicide claimed as its
own.
People should always kill themselves
more in large towns than in the country, be-
cause in the former places the great causes of
suicide, poverty and vice, are most abun-
dant. Suicides take place, too, far moro
among civilized than among barbarous peo-
pie; among people instructed and well read
more than among the ignorant Intelligence
raises the aspirations of men, and when these
aspirations are crushed by Ghe great move
ments of our complex civilization suicide
follows naturally. Quetelet, the greatest
statistician that ever lived, proved that
wherever crimes against the person are rife
the ratio Of suicide is comparatively small,
but that where crimes against property were
abundant the ratio of suicide was much
higher These are singular facts, too, that
so few suicides take place in the night time,
that three times as many men commit sui
eide as women, and that the favorite age at
which people kill themselves is in middle
life"-New York Sun.

Overeating in Childhood.

The habit of overeating is commonly made
in childhood, when ignorance and sensation
override moderation of appetite and reason
able caution. The child should be restricted
to the food that it naturally needs and
should not be allowed to make hog of it
self When the growth is attained and the
system no longer easily eliminates the waste
material not necessary for the ordinary pur-
poses of repair, then the body begins to store
up fat beyond what is of use and Tags out the
muscles in carrying it around; or, if there is,
no fattening with overeating, there are dys-I
pepsia, fevers, govt, rheumatism, biliousnessI
and other ills A temperance organization
which should lay down as its fundamental
law abstinence from excessive eating, would
do away with the greater part of the ordinary
sickneSseS among persons who should live upI
to the law.-Good Housekeeping.
Phil. Sheridan at West Point.
"Sheridan wasin my class at West Point"
said Gen. NJ. S. Hascall, of Indiana, the other
day, land he was by all means the oldest
member Of it. | remember his appearance
and the impression he formed on his arrival
He was one of the most peculiarly built boys
ever saw. His chest was very large and
full, his legs short and small, and his arms so
phenomenally long that his hands reached
far below his knees as he walked. His
physical peculiarities were so marked before
he finally and fully developed that he came
very near being rejected by the examining
board on that account He was a dull cadet
in his studies, too, and had any one predicted
that Sheridan would become the most dis
tinguished man of the class and one Of the
greatest military leaders of the country, he
would have been laughed out of the academy.
SHERIDAN was graduated year behind us,
owing to a rather peculiar reason. On one
occasion the officer of the day was Capt. Ter
rell, who was at the time figuring for pro-
motion, and was therefore DESTROYS of curry
ing favor with the officers. Sheridan hap
pened to be late at reveille and Terrell re-
ported him, resulting in his being repri-
manded. Sheridan did not lack spirit, and
the next day he caught Terrell off Of duty
and proceeded to resent what he considered
an unwarranted indignity by pummeling
him in the most approved fashion. don't
think that the ras.lt of the encounter was
entirely satisfactory,to Philip, but he had got
in his work and done the best he could any
way. For this offense Sheridan was sus-
pended for year and left West Point. At
the expiration of his term of suspension,
however, he returned and was graduated. ~

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

An unnecessary fuss is being made in New
York over the little musical prodigy, Josef
Hoffman. First, Mr.. Gerry, of the Humane
Society, interfered to prevent his playing,
claiming that the nervous strain and the labor
involved in his performances were breaking
him down; but Josef's parents, the boy him
sell, and the doctors all agreed that he was in
the best of health, and was not being
injured in the least This was not more than
two weeks ago; but since then the elder Hof-
man has broken his contract with Mr.. Abbey,
on the ground that his sons health is failing,
and refuses to permit him to appear again.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-02-26

Abbey insisted upon another medical exami-
nation, and the result is similar to the first,
the child being pronounced perfectly well. The
secret of the broken contract seems to
be that Hoffman ie not satisfied with
his share of the profits, and the of
fer by some unnamed citizen of $50, 900
to complete the boys education gives him
an opportunity to Withdraw without loss to
himself, whatever it may be to Abbey. New
Workers, however, still lean to the opinion that
too much work was exacted of the boy and
talk wisely Of the exhausting effect the rendi-
ton of five six musical compositions in one
evening must have. When it is remembered
that the child is a genius whose playing costs
him no more mental effort than his breathing,
and that he is not compelled to practice weary
hours at the instrument in order to prepare
himself for the exhibitions, public sympathy
in his behalf seems to be somewhat misplaced.
It would seem, at least, that healthy boy,
such as he is declared on good authority to be,
might endure the physical WEAKNESS incident
to an evenings public performance lasting an
hour and half, if children who are less
talented can practice on the piano four or five
hours day without injury. They the
victims who deserve most sympathy.

INTERNATIONAL IGNORANCE,

Mr.. Smallev, London correspondent of the
New York Tribune, cites some striking in
stances Of English ignorance concerning the
government and Constitution of the United
States. He says be has at different times
been asked whether the Constitution of the
United States was in writing, whether the
President was elected for life, whether the
Constitution and Declaration of independence
were the same thing, whether the President
could issue paper money of his own authority
and make it legal tender, whether he could
repeal act of Congress, whether an act of
Congress or State law was of higher authori-
ty, whether an amendment was binding on
State which withheld its assent to it, whether
the President appointed the State Governors
Some of these questions certainly argue great
ignorance of our Constitution. And yet, to
be downright honest about the matter do the
mass of Americans know any more about the
British government than the average English
man does about oursf How many Americans
writing not, how the Ministry is formed
and its relations to the government and peo-
pie, whether Bank of England notes are legal
tender not, the relations between the home
government and the colonies the power of
Parliament to legislate for the latter
etc. This kind of knowledge is
not as current as small coins. In fact, very
large number of Americans might be found
who could not answer some of the questions
about our own government which Mr.. Small
ley attributes to ignorant Englishmen Of the
adult Americans now living it is doubtful if
one-half ever read the Constitution of the
United States, or the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. A man may be loyal American
and good citizen without having read these
documents, as hundreds of thousands are,
an inquest or comparison of notes in such
matters it behooves US to be honest The
average Englishmen and the average Ameri-
can are each imbued, to certain extent, with
the spirit of his own government and Con-
stitution, but when it comes to furnishing a
bill of particulars it is probable they would
both be about equally at loss. If the en-
tire adult male population of the United
States were put under oath on the question of
ever having read the Constitution or the Dec
laration of Independence the result might
cause the American eagle to hide its head in
shame.

One by one the courts are coming around
to the position long since assumed by the
newspapers. A New England judge is quoted
saying recently that no man was fit to serve
on jury who did not read the daily papers,
and now comes Judge Sage, of Cincinnati,
and declares that it is the duty of court to
execute the law and protect the public rather
than to consider the comfort of individuals.
The impression that seems to prevail among
the legal fraternity and the criminal classes is
that courts were organized chiefly for the
purpose of protecting law breakers, and Judge
Sage's ruling will excite great surprise and
indignation in these circles of society. New
ertheless the Judge is right, and will have
the commentator and support of the press
and the best portion of the public in his novel
position. It is precedent which other courts
will do we'll to follow.

THE ENDING OF THE NOVEL.

John Ruskin finds fault with noveists
who end their stories with the marriage OF
hero and heroine and asks them to continue
their chronicles beyond this point. As a
critic of pictorial art Ruskin has earned the
right to speak with authority, but this su-
preracy does not exist where literature ia
concerned; and in that field his opinion is,
perhaps, not of greater value than another's.
AT all events. it is safe to say that this opin-
ion IN regard to fiction is not in accord with
the views held by the vast majority of novel
readers. A novel is, primarily, love story.
There are, it is true, large number of books
classed as novels in which love between man
and woman is not the central theme; but, as
y rule such works do not meet with approval;
If they do chance to please the popular taste.
