A Republican Trick in Ohio.

All the political parties of Ohio have
announced their candidates for State
officers, among them being the so called
Veterans Party" This party was
organized only short time ago in Gin
cinnati for the purpose, apparent upon
the face of the ticket, Of having in
effect, two Republican tickets in the
field, for each and every candidate on
the so called Veteran ticket are identi-
cally the same as those on the Republi-
can ticket Now the object OF
this ticket is to lead all
old soldiers to believe Through the
Quaint and clever name of Veteran
Party" that he is supporting a ticket
of his comrades, for the old soldier and
by the old soldier, when in fact it is a
ruse of the Republican party to catch
the Democratic soldier vote, for IN
voting the Veteran ticket you are voting
the straight Republican ticket. Now
let ali old soldiers compare the candi-
dates of the Republican with the Veter-
an ticket, and see II it is not exactly
the same.

Just been closed at the Cathedral by
Rev. Fathers Gleason, Younan and Wal
lace, s. ]. Upward of thirty-fve hum
dred persons have made the mission:
Among the absolved were number OF
penitents DESTROYS of having their mar
riages rectitied. Another point OF the
mission is the number Of non-Cathollc
converts, of whom upward OF twenty
applied for instruction and baptism. a
class Of nearly ninety candidates
were prepared and admitted to the
sacred rite of confirmation, many OF
them advanced In years. Since Rev.
Fathers Hecker, Hewitt and Wolworth,
in 1852, inaugurated the first OF these
great missions in Wheeling, no more
eOnsoling and satisfactory one has re-
joiced the clergy and faithful OF THIS
town. Other signs of Church progress
arrest the eye In this Panhandle Cathe-
dral city; among them, the ample pro-
vision made TO house and do for the or
phans of both sexes. Forty years ago
the Catholic Bishop rejoiced to see a
couple Of hundred children In his parish
schools taught by his divinity students
and the newly-arrived colony OF Vista
ton Nuns. For the past twenty years
an average annual attendance OF one
thousand young people, boys and girls,
have been trained in the schools OF the
Sisters of st. Joseph.
The flag Hassuccoth," the Jewish
Feast Of Booths" is observed every
year with the heaving and the waving
of the palm branch and the paradise
apple. Next Saturday is the fifteenth
day Of the Hebrew calendar month,
Tishri, which in Palestine marked the
completion of the autumnal harvest
which the feast commemorated. The
day is still green in the minds or the
Hebrews. Among the orthodox it is
considered a duty to get the paradise
apple, the palm, the myrtle and the
willow. Sometimes the cost OF procur-
ing these paradise apples is great for
the fine ones come from Corfu.
The fruit is taken to the synagogue and
the palm leaf is bound with the willow.
But one apple is secured here in Wheel
ing. The subject of the sermon for the
day will be, in many churches, the SYM
bolism of the four representative pro-
ducts of Palestine, the paradise apple,
the palm, myrtle and the willow. The
feast of Succoth lasts eight days ordin-
arily, but nine days according TO the or
thodox Hebrews. The days intervening
between the first and seventh day OF the
feast are half holidays. The seventh
day is the ''atzereth," the closing OF the
feast. 1t is the day when the last chap
ter Of the Bible is read in the conserVa-
tive churches.
