Dogma of Transubstantiation.
BALTIMORE, March 9.-Cardinal Gibbons
preached the third of his series of Lenten
sermons to-day. His theme was the "Holy
Eucharist" His Eminence made the declara-

authority than the doctrine of the real pres
euce Of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist
taking his arguments from the Scriptures
''the real presence of Christ in the blessed
sacrament" He also cited the texts which
speak of the promise of the Eucharist, Of it's
institution, and "of its use among the faith
full"

Amidst the wreck of matter, crash of

Chicago Columbian exposition, it is a
painful sight to witness the unjust dis
elimination against the lady managers

that it should be so generally lavished
upon the male sex. Seldom, if ever,
have the assumed inequalities of the
sexes been more visibly illustrated

of greed and minimum of chiv-
airy on the part of the male
autoerats. The director general, Col.
GEORGE P. DAVIS, Republican bell
wether of Illinois. of course, comes in
for the fattest slice of the ''pork.' His
annual salary is fixed at $1,000. Now
$4,000 ought to pay for considerable
hard work, but it has been thought

Synopsis of Official Report From
Capt. TAYLOR.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-The militia
forces of the United States aggregate
109, 469 men, as shown by an official re-
port presented to Secretary Proctor by
Capt. ID. M. Taylor, in charge of this
branch of the service. The report says
that in the made quacy of the appro-
priation for the militia is shown in
several states, and principally in the
case of the state of New York, where
the militia is confessedly armed with a
weapon vastly inferior to the Spring
field rife. The rearmament of the New
York militia is urged. Attention is di-
rected to disproportion in numbers ex-
lstlng between the cavalry and the i'll
fantry OF the national guards. The
cavalry, the report says, is one of the
most difficult arms to improvise, and
steps should be taken, Capt. Taylor
says, i'll addition to the regular annual
appropriation, to encourage the forma-
ton OF new and to foster existing cav
airy organizations in the national
guard. The cost of the cavalry arm
accounts for its existence in such small
quantities, and Capt. Taylor urges that
congress relieve the states of the bur-
den of its equipment. In this connec-
ton training school for cayalrymen is
recommended for each state which has
an organized militia force of 5000, and
horses to the number of seventy-five,
provided. with detachment of regular
cavalry soldiers to care for them, and
non-commissioned officers who may be
competent to act as instructors in both
riding and tactics. Nothing would be
more urgently needed in event of war.
the report says. than a reserve of
horses. which at present the service has
not.
