big portico In pairs, and as each two
stepped into the street their costly robes
were caught mp by diminitive altar boys

kept stainless for theceremonies to come.
Here and there among the silken purple
vestments OF the bishops could be seen
the coarse brown or white garb OF q

30 great was the pressure for seats that
persons known to have Travelled across
the continent from California expressly
to be present were disappointed in secur.
ing admission.
Except for the inevitable inconven-
iences due to overcrowding, everything
moved like clock work. Promptly at
the appointed hour, the priests, semin-
arlans and theological students were
marshalled 10 Calvert Hall. Curious
throngs were already in the neighboring
streets occupying themselves taking note
Of the decorations. The hall in whic h
the priests assembled was elaborately de-
corated. Above the doors were the Pa
pal colors, stretching up to the caves.
When all was ready eco clergy, walking
two and two, emerged, clad in white sur
plices and black cassocks and berettas,
aud marched down the street to the resi-
dence of Cardinal Gibbons.
One OF the features of this, as Of the
whole Of the Sunday proceedings. was
the total absence Of any band playing on
the streets. At the doorway Of the Car
dinals house and leading up the broad
steps, with sabres and polished helmets
glitterIng In the bright morning sun
light, were two double lines Of guards.
Here again the Papsl colors and the stars

THE CEREMONIAL.

A dreamy largo lulled the ear, while
the eye was delighted with the myriad
candles shining on the altar from among
the ,estful green leaves and white bios
SONS OF lilies. Now was heard Grego-
rian "Asperges" sung by perfectly at
tuned male voices, and the macs proper
began With the chanting of the "Ky rie. "
At the conservation of the host, the
Cardinals advanced from the sides with
the Monsignors, and bowing, knelt at
prideux, facing the altar. Back Of them
was q row Of richly-arrayed acolytes
bearing lighted bronze torches.
Probably the most impressive part oi
the mass next to the conservation was the
comforting of the Papal blessing. The
mass ended with a special intercession
for the Pope chanted by all the clergy.
ARCHBISHOP RYAN's GRAFTON.
The first grafton of the centenary fol.
lowed. 1t was delivered by Archbishop
Ryan, Of Philadelphia.
The Archbishop, after giving statistics
showing the growth of the Church, ETC.,
said:
As In pagan times In the history Of this
country the Catholic Church's perfect
organization was feared as possibly dan.
gerous to the State, and q great and
numerous party, afraid to act in open
day, entered into a secret society against
q handful OF their fellow citizens. Few
people realize how much indirect benefit
this cowardly opposition was to the
Church during the brief inglorious ex-
istence OF the party prophetically named
at Its birth "Know Nothing"
The thoughtful men OF the nation who
opposed this party were driven into the
ranks of the Church defenders. They
studied her history and doctrines. I'm.
portant conversions and the clearing
away Of much ignorance and prejudice
were the results.

Another Whitechapel Theory.

DR.. Lawson TAFT, a London surgeon,
has put forward theory in regard to the
fnrdieh Whitechapel murders w1iich IS

weird stories
He says first, the murderer is an cpl
leptic maniac, and does the murders
while the fit is on, being unconscious of
the crime afterwards. Second, she is,
not q man, hut q woman, who gathers
her splashed and bloody skirt around her
waist under her shawl Immediately after
the deed is done, and so escapes de-
lection. Then, since women are always
at the wash tub" she easily washes out
the stains and is not detected. Third,
the murderer is some one employed in a
slaughter house, and familiar with the
way in which animals are slaughtered in
London. The Whitechapel victims have
had their Threats cut from behind, and
have then been evisceratel in the exact
manner in which London butcher be-

by a surgeon or a novice. There are

The First Chinese RAILWAY.

A great event has happened in China.
The son of heaven, that is to say, the
emperor, has issued decree that rail-
way shall be built from Pel1in to Han
kow. The road will be 700 miles long,
and will pass through q portion Of China
into which the daylight of western civil
ization has never before penetrated. For
many years the Liberal party of the
permission to build railroad there, but
in vain. All the old arguments used
against the first introduction of the iron
way into England were rehashed in
China, with more effect, and in addition
the peculiarly Chinese objection that the
roadWould disturb the graves CT their
ancestors. Besides, an iron track, with
black, laundering monsters rushing over
it, would invade the sanctity Of the
earth, make it angry and cause eth
quakes.
at length, however, the Chinese au-
thorities have concluded to take the
risks at once of the wrath Of the earth
and of their ancestors, and construct the
road. Its first result will be to give an
immense impetus to the internal trade
of China and after that to foreign COM
merce. But that it will work any great
revolution in Chinese customs and civ
ilization Immediately, is not likely,
though it will do so ultimately. AS to
that, The London Spectator says: GA

Nieiinite.

While Secretary Tracy recommends
ten additional steel cruisers for the COM
ing American navy, word comes from
France of deadly new explosive called
melinite. What melinite is very few
know, and those who do know guard the
secret so well that it is impossible for
other nations to find out. French fort,
field and siege guns are now charged
with it. Experiments in 1898 showed it
to be possessed of a very high explosive
power, while far more safe than gun
powder. The Germans and Italians are
so eager to discover what melinite is that
they have offered rewards for the small
est fraGnento, and numerous spies from
those nations haro been captured in
French camps while e4.deav~ring to oteal
the secret, but SO far it has been kept.
All that is known is that the new explo-
sive is prepared from melted picric acid.

There is considerable business, too, chiefly
at the wharves-Shipping lumber, fish,
etc.-and it is done very quietly. In the
principal streets elsewhere there is a slight
stir, and over all the rest of the city Is q
peace like unto that described as the final
goal of the righteous. 1t is Nirvana with an

oners left at the close Of the last war.
For situation the city cannot be excelled
The harbor entrance is narrow, but once in
side one finds it swelling into placid bay Of
great size; many miles up 1t narrows again
and beyond that broadens into Bedford
basin, which would on many coasts be con-
sidered a spacious harbor. Beyond the
point" Dust beyond the harbor mouth) the
Northwest Arm begins and extends twelve or
fifteen miles inland-all the way a crystal
sheet of water, with perfectly lovely shores
and thus Halifax is on good sized peninsula.
From the harbor side the land rises rather
abruptly, but on the other side the slope is
gentle, and for many miles all that side IS
still covered with the natural forest Though
three million dollars have been appropriated
to improve this great park, the administra-
tors have shown their good sense by leaving
nearly all of it in state Of nature, 0nly
making splendid winding roads through 1t
and clearing away such brush as INSTRUCTED

results are admirable. The man who cannot

The Nova Scotians say that their peninsula
abounds i'll fine harbors. 1t sometimes seems
to me that the coast is all harbor. There are
SO many bays, large and small, SO many i'll
let's and arms Of the sea, that the province
appears to be almost cut across in places, and
from any commanding point one can look out
upon the sea or upon some large harbor. AT

The Story Of Cooperation.

In The New Review George Jacob
Holyoake, the veteran laborer in the
cause of union among working people,
tells the history Of the cooperative move
ment in Great Britain, while NJ. A. Mil
lerand, member Of the chamber of
deputies, L: rates it's progress in France.
Mr.. Holyoake says that from the So
cialism of Robert Owen has grown
among working people that cooperation
which is not socialism, but something
far better and more practicable. The
first attempts were the cooperative
stores that have grown to such enor-
nous proportions in Great Britain. The
principle of these is to buy the best ar
tcles, sell them at very moderate
profit and divide the surplus, not among
the shareholders alone, but among the
Morris tribune., 1889-10-16

purchasers. Stockholders are allowed 8
per cent. interest on their Investments
The idea was caught upon the current
of popular favor and spread throughout
Great Britain. In the United Kingdom
are now nearly !, 400 cooperative socle-
ties and stores, with little less than a
million members. These divide among
themselves profit of $15,OOO,O 900 every
year. For plain, ordinary working peo-
pie, without exceptional shrewdness, and
with 10 time for making plans to enrich
themselves, this is not bad.
From distributive cooperation In
stores, the next step is distributive CO.
operation in the workshop. The co-opera-
tive principle of labor is this: Interest Is
the rent of labor; wages are the rent OF
capital. Labor and capital are therefore
partners. Profit is made between them
and should be divided between them.
There are row in the kingdom eighty-slx
co-op>rativc workshops, although they
couli, bat slowly, on account of the dill
Guilty working men have i'll getting capl-
tai. But those established are thriving.
There is another kind of industrial
partnershin from which Mr.. Holyoake
hopes more than from the cooperative
Workshop This is the industrial part
nrrship, in which, after working eX-
penscs, interest u1 capital and reserve
fund are deducted, what is left is divided
with the lahorerS. If he knows he is to
share in the profits lie helps to make, the
workingman will naturally seek to make
that profit rs large as possible. Mr.. Hol-
vOake writes Of this:
Profit sharing will sooner make progress by EN-
ployelS establishing partnerships of industry with
their worilueople which will enable them to retain
their best workrlen. 1t is i'll the direction OF In
t!ustrial partnerships that cooperation wisttully
looks.
In France, n. Nllerand writes that
many cooperative societies have failed
through the ineNperlence OF their mem
btrs. They have also been much ham
ptrtI through the red tape Of clumsy,
,ul in some instances actually hostile

xstx,,,1E ISLAND. HALIFAX HAREoE.


The true story If the Acadian exlles is
easily told. They refused to cake tie oath OF
allegiance to the British government ana
avowed their expectation OF a speedy return
to French rule; refused to submit to any regu'
lstions in trading with tbs indians, and per-
sistently thwarted all those police measures
which are SO necessary in young colonies with
a dangerous people near They were, there
fore, removed to other British colonies. The
cruelty consisted in their forced and sudden
departure without fair warning, which re-
suited in the separation Of some families and
the extreme poverty of many In palliation
of this, the British Canadian writer's allege
that if the French had not been taken I'M
awares" they could not have been taken with
out much expense and some bloodshed; and,
IS it was, many escaped and stirred up seri-
GUS trouble among the Indians. And while
discussing these things we found that our
train had already crossed the peninsula and
was rounding Bedford Basin, and soon after
we entered Halifax, which was then thought
worthy of weeks visit
There is nothing exciting about Halifax.
One can lie down and sleep any hour in the
roar of traffic in the streets-that is, unless
he is kept awake wondering bow $4,000 peo-
pie can keep so still. 1t certainly is in sum-
mer the most soul restful place on this
continent. "They say" that July and Au-
gust are the quietest months of the year
because the sailors and fishermen are gone
and many of the soldiers. The climate also
is singularly even in midsummer. It does
not rain, strictly speaking; it just dribbles.
