AFFAIR Make No Indictments.

The grand jury appointed TO investigate
the lynching Of members OF tho Mania az
New Orleans on Saturday, March IL, has,
after six weeks Of elaboration, returned
its verdict. The verdict il a somewhat
lengthy document and reviews tue case
from the beginning. IL speaks or the triai
OF the men charged with killing Chief OF
Police Hennessey as miscarriage OF JUS
tice and severely scores Detective OMaiiey
and others having TO do with their tria'.
IL reviews the history Of the Mana In the
old world and speaks of immigration, as
intimately connected with the matter
under discussion, in the following words:
1.-The jury censures the policy which makes
our country the dumping ground OF
Europe's criminal population ana wnleh
permits foreigners who have LETT their
native country for that country's good 10
find an asylum In tho United States
and renew their criminal mole OF life.
The hundreds Of foreign criminals in New
Orleans ought 10 have been detained in
Italy by system which would permit no
foreigners 10 come to the United States

consul as to character. AT the same time
the grand Jury recognizes that the great
mass Of Italians in New Orleans are useful,
law abiding citizens" After speak
ing OF the character OF the citizens
forming the lynching party. and
reviewing the assassination of Hepnesscy.
the report closes as follows: Evidence Is
before us from Official sources that l. per-
sons were killed in the attack on the parish

citizens aud another had declared his in

fact in connection with the upr sing that
no injury whatever was done TO either

which seemed 10 have been the object or

when the legislature will nd .ourn. During

lively rate. The house has held regular
sessions every night and the hurry and
hustle of the closing days OF the legislature
are apparent IL is now come TO the point
when members begin to exhibit anxiety TO
have their measures acted upon without
further delay. Less considerate treatment
is shown TO bills that do not fully commend
themselves to good judgement and the
motion to indefinitely postpone such is
voted without much conjunction. The

Although Leo XIII. is opposed to the

admiration for the physical victories Of
modern science. In one of his best
known pastorals while he was cardinal
bishop OF Perugia he writes: sfHow

he call che lightning and brings it's bolts
harmless to his feet, when be sends the
electric spark as his messenger through

ing to sustain it? The natural man
grows, is fed, when SICK is cured and IN
danger of death needs most special
care. Now Christ said: ''Unless you
are born again OF water and the Holy
Ghost you cannot enter into the king
dom of heaven" Whoever therefore is
baptized receives new birth and con-
seq uently in their order he must pass
through all the other stages Of this
spiritual lite. Now the Catholic church
teaches precisely Ghis--that man is not
only born spiritually in baptism, but
that he grows in strength in conhrma-
ton, is nourished by the food OF the GU"
chorist, is healed from the lndrmIty OF
sin in penance and is fortified against
tine last assaults by extreme junction..
The other two sacraments belong to

but for none OF the sacramento is the
testimony more explicit than for that
of extreme JUNCTION, els any man sick
among you?' says St. James, ''Let him
bring in the priests of the church and
let them pray over him amounting him
with oil in the name Of the Lord and
the PRAYER: of faith shall! save the sick
man and the Lord shall raise him up
and If he be in sins they shall ba for
given him." This clear testimony of
the Apostle has always been under
stood by the church as the promulQa~
ton of the sacrament of extreme unc-
tion. In every century we find abund~
ant testimony to make us certain that
at all times in case of sickness the
priests Of the church were brought in
and did anoint the sick. To deny
therefore the sacrament of extreme
JUNCTION is to deny the Faith. to sup
press Scripture and to ignore the long
long usage Of the church, while to por-
tray it az ridiculous, is to misrepresent
Catholic practice and Catholic belief.

refuge in the church during a storm,
when he saw the form of woman
standing in the pulpit, gesticulating in
a threatening manner and at the same
moment an uneartllly laugh broke the
stiffness Of the surroundings. Hastily
beating retreat, the man mounted his
