Philadelphia Record.
Lieutenant Governor Richards of Mon
tana has been following the example Of
Speaker Reed in counting the Democrats
present and not voting 30 as to make up q
quorum, but they have had more sense
than to stay in Helena to be counted, and
have blocked all legislation by getting
out of reach Of the sergeant-at. arms. The
Lieutenant governor might as we'll go one
step further in his arbitrary course, how.
ever, and count them present anyhow.

The Answer.

MIR. E. J. Mccoy.
By request Of the editor of the EVENING
Journal / hereby give the following
answer:
First. You ask, els it consistent with
the dogmas Of the Roman Catholic
Church, etc. The point in question does
not at all touch any dogma Of the Catho-
lie church. 1t touches only a law of
discipline. AS to dogmas, these can
never vary nor be changed. Whatever
is a dogma now, always was a dogma,
taught by Christ, by the Apostles, by the
early Popes, successors Of st. Peter.
To say that the church makes new
dogmas is to say no less than that she
teaches nova days either more or less
than Christ and His apostles taught.
Take the question of the ''infallibility'
or 1.-THE immaculate Conception" They
always were taught and believed from
the earliest days as they are now They
were of late years more clearly and more
explicitly defined because heresies or cir
cumstances of time required their clearer
definition and enforcement. Your ques-
ton. however, does not touch dog ma,
but belongs to ecclesiastical discipline
If the governor Of the state, or the mayor
Of the city, can grant dis
pensation from enforcing The
state or civic law-certainlY the churci
can do the same in questions Of ecclesi'
astic law. However, in the case in ques.
ton. not even this was done, for it is thI
law Of the Catholic Church that in case !
/ Catholic dies whose relations are non
Catholics, having family lot in n non
Catholic cemetery, the grave Of thi
Catholic member is blessed for his or he
benefit Again it ought to be borne II
mind that such a blessing Is difteren
thing from the conservation Of Who'll

A Question Concerning Mrs. CopFingsr's
Burial Answered by Father De Ruyter.
Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
VIII you please answer the following
question which has been the cause of
considerable debate amongst many of the
readers OF your paperg Is it consistent
with the dogmas of the Roman Catholic
Church to have their communicates
buried in Protestant cemeteries and then
to consecrate the burial place of the de-
ceased? Said argument was brought about
by the burial of Mrs. Coppinger
nee Blaine, who was buried in Oak
hill Cemetery beside her brother Walker,
who was a Protestant, as she was a
Catholic aud buried according to the
rites of the latter church. Some people
claim that she was buried in unconse-

For the G. A. r. encampment which

the Union Pacific has made a rate of one
first class fare for the round trip. Tick
cts will be on sale from August 6 to lO
inclusive, good for going passage from
August 6 to ID inclusive, and for return
passage on trains leaving Boston Angus
IL to 20 inclusive, allowing until August
% TOR return to destination.
For those who do not care to return a.
soon as August % a Joint agency for the
extension of tickets Las been established
in Boston, and those applying to thi.
joint agent may have their tickets ex.
tended until September 30, 1890.
The Union Pacific is in every way the
most desirable route for comrades to take
who are going to the oncampment. 1t not
only operates the finest vestibuled trains,
consisting Of magnificent Pullman palace
sleepers, free reclining chair car, Pullman
palace dining car and Pullman ~colonist
sleepers, but runs on fast time and makes
close connections in union dcpots with

Another feature to be considered is the
fact that baggage can be checked through

Few people" said Harry Davis the

anything about the tip to n billiard cue.
| dare say there are hundreds of the best
players in Pittsburg who know only that
the tip is made of leather. As to where
it comes from, how it is made, or Wi t
it costs, they are totally ignorant. There
are several grades of tips, costing from
$3.50 to SO per 100. The 81. 80 kind are very
inferior and are not used in first-class
rooms. 1t is economy in the best bill
lard rooms to use first-class tips. Take
a room having from fifteen to twenty
tables, and the item of tips is a big one.

$500.

however, to the purchaser in the very
