FATHER TOLTON'S HISTORY,

Ordained a Priest

Personality of the First American Negro
Ordained Priest.
There is now at the clergy-house ad-
jacent to the Franciscan Church of St.
Peter, corner of South Clark and Polk
streets, the first colored Catholic clergy
man ordained for missionary work in the
United States. His name is Father
Tolton and he is a full-blooded American
negro, born in Missouri thirty-fve years
ago. Father Tolton is fine specimen
of his race. Above the middle height,
with well-formed head and expressive,
intelligent face, his appearance bears
out his reputation as that of man of
unusually strong mental qualities. In
the course OF conversation upon his
career and education recently Father
TOltOn said he was born in Rolls County.
Missouri. He was given his academic
training and classics at the Franciscan
college in Quincy, ILL.,, and from the
kindness and consideration with which
he has ever been treated by the breth-
rem of that order he has always retained
the warmest regard for them. His
studies in theology and philosophy were
carried forward in Rome at the College
of the Propaganda, and he was Or
dained to the priesthood April "a,
1886, celebrating his first mass at
St. Peters of the Vatican on the
following day. Easter Sunday. Thus a
regularly ordained priest of the Catholic
Church, representative of the colored
race in the United States, and ecclesi-
astically commissioned especially for
their benefit, has ministered in the serv-
ice of the mass at the same historic altar
before which have knelt the supreme
pontiffs of the Catholic world.
Ordained the first colored priest for
the United States, with particular ref
erence to missionary work among the
colored people, Father Tolton has been
admitted to clerical work by Bishop
Feehan as regular priest of this do
cese. He celebrated his first mass in
Chicago at ST. Mary's Church, singing
the service remarkably we'll. In the
opinion of priests who were present
Father Tolton has fine resonant voice
of admirable quality, and his delivery is
scholarly and exact. For the present
he will confine his ministrations to the
colored people of the South Side in the
basement of st. Mary's church every
Sunday morning. Ultimately he will take
charge of the Church of ST. Augustine,
to be built for the colored people of the
city at the corner of Thirty-ffth and
Dearborn streets. The society sustain
ing this church is actively raising funds
for the erection of new edifce.-Chi-

How a Circus Agent Found Out the Circula-

The weekly paper on which l learned
my trade was situated in town which
no circus going West ever skipped. We
used to count on those circus ads. as reg
ularly as we did on the holidays, and for
years and years we were without break.
They were cash, of course, outside OF the
dozen free tickets which the agent left,
and the money pulled the publisher
through tight place more than once.
Our object was, of course, to get as high
a rate as possible, and to get high rate
we had to boom the circulation. 1t held
steady at about $50, and for the first
three or four years it was sufficient to
tell an agent that we printed ''about
thousand copies" After that however,
there was one chap who gave us trouble.
He was an agent for old Dan Rice, and
he paralyzed us by asking to see the pile
of paper we had wet down for the out
side pages While he didn't get to see
it, he knocked our regular $40 ad. down
to $50, and he had no sooner gone than
we began to plan to beat him next
season.
About the time he was expected we
got an extra bundle of paper, fixed it
with the landlord to notify us, and the
idea was to wet down enough to
show a full thousand copies. We
were daily expecting call when an
old tramp printer slouched into the Of

Assyria, Palestine and Egypt are
yielding their buried treasures to the
maglclans of civiliza ton, and reporting
facts of startling significance to scien-
tlsts and religionists. The recent dis
covery OF the palace of Amenophis I'LL,
OF Babylon with the great library of the
period, consisting chiefly of cuneiform
tablets carries us back thirty-five hun
ored years, or one hundred years be-
lore the Exodus, when the Babylo-

is yielding up her historical insides into
tne lap OF the antiquarian, establishing
mat Rameses II. was the Pharaoh of the
oppression, and that the route of the
IsraellteS to the Red Sea, as detailed in
the Bible, is exactly correct, with fe-
hcltous confirmation of all that it re-
cords regarding the stay of Israel in
Egypt. 1t is gratifying coincidence
that just now. when the attempt is being
made to discredit the history in the Old
Testament, and to reduce some portions
OF 1t to myths, the antiquarian reopens
the palace doors of Babylon, knocks at
the gates OF Royal tombs in Egypt, I'M
covers the graves in Moab and Philistia,
and exhumes the treasures of Phenician
glory from their long-forgotten hiding
places, to find records that repeat in
part the story of the patriarchs, and in
hundred ways confirm the genealogies
the wars, the customs, and laws of Israel
from Abraham to Solomon. This is
more than an illustration of literary en-
terprise; it is proof that the foundation
OF civilization standeth sure, and that
the divine history knows how to take
care OF itself. Archaeology, the latest
born of the sciences, is contributing
quite as much to the education of the
hrst principles of religion as any of the
older sciences, with their boosted age
and achievements-Me Methodist Review.

When Villiers. James Is and Charles
LIS favorite, went on his mission to
Paris in 1925, says the Gentleman's Mag
azine, he had no fewer than seven-and-
twenty suits of clothes made, the rich
est that embroidery, lace, silk, velvet,
gold and gems could contribute, one Of
which was white, uncut velvet, ''set
all over, both suit and cloak, with dia-
monds valued at 1000, besides great
feather stuck all over with diamonds"
cit was common with him." says con-
temporary, sat an ordinary dancing to
have his clothes trimmed with great
diamond buttons and to have diamond
hat-bands, cockades and earrings; to be
yoked with great and manifold ropes
and knots of pearl; in short, to be
manacled, fettered and imprisoned in
jewels"
To the prevailing extravaganza in
dress the satirists again allude in the
severest terms. II have much Won
dered," says Henry Peacham, ''why our
English, above other nations, should so
much dote upon new fashions, but more
wonder at our want of wit that we can
not invent them ourselves, but, when
one is grown stale, send pres
emily over into France to seek

fiourishing kingdom the magazine of
our fooleries, and for this purpose many
of our tailors lie leger ii. e., reside)

narrow toward the knees like a pair of
smiths bellows, the spangled carriers
pendent to the shoe, your perfumed
perukes or periwigs, to show us that lost
hair may be had again for money, with
a thousand such fooleries unknown to
our manly forefathers."
The reader may find it a pleasant
change to turn to the rhyming moralists.
Here to the fore comes John Tayler the
so called water poet, launching his shafts
not too sharply pointed-at the excess
of those who wear

And spangled carriers worth a copyhold

If wheel be suspended on it's axle
so as not to touch the ground, and be re-
volved, it is a fact that both the top and
bottom part revolve with equal rapidity;
but if the wheel be placed on the ground
and revolved it must move forward.
The top spokes are thus revolving for
through space with the forward move
ment of the hub. The bottom spokes,
on the contrary, are revolving backward.
The difference between the velocity OF
the upper and lower spokes is, therefore:
to be measured by the absolute forward
movement of the hub.-Mobile Register.
