BoYIsH FRANKS.
Then he went on TO tell OF one prank
In which he engaged in company WIN
Christopher Wordsworth, late BlShOp VI
Lincoln, and Charles Wordsworth blsh-
op of st. Andrews. The three future
cbnrchmen were playfellOwS, aud en-
tered into a conspiracy to loot the Man
ming winery. They did it, too, entering
through the roof and eating all the
grapes. ,,-
There were no grapes for dinner
that day." said the CARDINAL Win q
twinkle in his eye.
The talk then drifted to American
/ matters. and it was easy to be seen that
the Cardinal was much better informed
upon them than even great EngliShmen
are. He is a warm admirer OF Cardinal
| Gibbons, whose views on the labor prob
lens OF the day fit his own, and also
OF Archbishop Ireland, Of Minnesota,
the "American Father Matthews, as
he is called here. The Cardinal ex-
pressed q high admiration for American
/ institutions generally, and refrained
from bat single criticism upon them.
| This was when he said that In his opln-
ion fewer elections and longer tenure
of Office might, in his opinion, tend TO
make affairs more equable in the United
States and business matters generally
more stable.
10 was when the Cardinals attention
was drawn to statements that Chris
| tiauity was not holding its own against
! inddels, agnoStics and the like that he
/ spoke most vigorously.
Il have been in the thick Of religious
/ life for more than sixty years." said he,

l l. GOOD DIAL Of
reason run 10 seed in England, good
deal Of free thought and much spiritual
ignorance among the oyerworked
masses. But we are making steady
Roadway against that. If you could go
among London wOrkingmen as do you
would see this. There are more than
one million five hundred thousand Cath
olics in England now, and they are in
creaSing i'm number. What Is more,
they really practice their religion"
"And the other churches?"
''Ah, my son." said the Cardinal,
smilingly, II am too old to throw stones.
1t is no part of my duty to criticiSe
those who are without our lines"
TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
Then the question Of temperance
came up.
England SOBER" said the aged
churchman, 'is England happy and
contented. 1 have worked towards
this end for very many years and with
some success. But it is fight against
odds. The drunkenness and the misery
growing out OF it here in London make
my heart sick at times. Here in Lon
don our priests are preaching total alb
stinence all the time to considerable
effect. am glad % notice the same
movement in America"
The Cardinal takes a very hopeful
| view of the labor outlook, and be is pc
/ culiariy competent to speak on the mat
| ter. In his opinion workingmen and
their employees are coming closer to-
gether all the time.
"When employers extend exact jus
! tice to their workingmen and vice versa
we shall be through with labor troubles
in the main" be said; "from a basis of
/ common Justice both may arise to a
better understanding, and think such
an era is approaching. Then you will
notice everywhere a tendency TO arbi-
trata where it is at all possible. Take
| it all in all, see no reason TO fear for
the future"
On the Irish question, as on others,
| Cardinal INNINGS opinions are clear
cut. He did not discuss persons, but
spoke generally.
Il am an EngliShman, you know, TO
/ the core, ana ! am not q SeparatiSt," he
/ said, "but l know and love the Irish
/ people. Since the time of Henry VIII.
| they have been governed by force. Iu-
! Justice naturally provoked evil passions
| Kind aud equal laws would long ago
have settled the Irish questions, and it
is only by extending such laws that
| tranquility will De thoroughly restored
10 that country"
! He spoke of the educational question
/ and on il took the ground usually held
l by orthodox Catholics, and in the end
| he said in the clear, precise manner
| that is characteristic OF the man:
Il have no faith in an undenomina-
tional religion. 1t means shape that
/ shape hath none.'"
Tell the American people," he said,
/ "to fear God and make their country a
prosperous land, inhabited by God-fear-
\ ing people. A blessing upon all men, "
I and I left him with that benediction.
THROUGH THE HOUSE.
Very interesting is a trip through the
Cardinals house. In the chapel is a
/ glass case with an especially valuable
/ collection OF relics, among them being
/ the white mitre Of Thomas A. Beckett.
