like sunny day cently met her
on the street just as che was emerging

.See my new hat9'' she said brightly,
as + walked along by her side. '.'.Isn't it
pretty"
II had not noticed the new hat, but

Yes, very pretty and becoming re-

It is stylish, though, for the price, /
think"
my heart sank at her light way Of es-
timating cost. I have no sisters, and my
mother possessed knack Of trimming
her own bonnets, SO I had never known
what ladies hats cost. II that simple
bit of straw and ribbon cost twenty dol
lars, what would be the price on the finer
hat be made? Thirty dollars at least.
l realized at once my inability to pro-
perly support girl who. paid fifty dol
lars for two hats in one feeting season.
What fortune it would require to for
nish all her wardrobe at that rate? Yet
she is SO simply dressed to all appear
ances; nothing at all snowy about her.
I suppose all girls in her station pay as
much for their clothes, and so 1 think I
will leave marriage for richer men. The
average young man cannot stand that
sort of thing, 1 assure YOU"
Now, I happened to know who this
young man was, and I happened to
know who this young woman was and I
happened to know that she was not an
extravagant girl. If she had paid twenty
dollars for hat it was an unusual ex-
penditure for her, and would trouble her
conscience and purse for many day,
and cause her much self-denial in other
directions.
But she possessed the foolish idea SO
prevalent in this age of great fortunes,
that men admire women who use money
lavishly, and who pay large prices for
their garments.

THE TELESCOPE.

TUNE: "Auld Song syne.'I
For months we'd learned of world and star,
Guided by Father Byrne;
We'd talked of Jupiter, and Mars,
And Venus in her turn.
Our teacher, not content with books,
Nearer would lead our band
To where they view with eager hearts,
These gems of Gods own hand.
Methinks Gods grace is with the ones
Whose souls to these are driven,
Who read the starry armament
The poetry of Heaven.
But must not forget our theme:
I'll lead you back again,
I'm wondering if pleasure e'er comes
With no companion, Pain.
Old Fashions painted visage still
Allures her eager throng;
But Science, beautiful and good.
Must drag her votaries on.
The eve we chose, though clear and bright,
Was soon with clouds o'ercast;
We feared the treat for which we'd longed
Unrealized had passed.
If scorpio raised his angry head,
The Serpent caught the Crown,
Or Cygnus lost her spangled cross,
The fact was never known.
Methinks twas Vega pierced the clouds
And drew our eyes above;
Telling of him who Hades braved
To prove his strength of love.
But this bright guardian Of the Tyre
Checked not our hasty tread,
AS we marched down to the big hotel
And were kindly shown to bed.
There's magic in the number ~"
There's strength in voices too,
Who gathered up the broken shreds,
They're visible they know.
The morning dawned with many tear,
For May was weeping now:
The much loved child of ev'ry Spring
In gloom had decked her brow.
The world without was less to us,
Thanks to Professor Payne,
Who taught us all and cheered us too
Spite of the pouring rain,
We saw the giant telescope,
And felt the dome whirl round,
And wondered at the mighty work
Which made so little sound.
There's many truth we've traced, I'm sure
On Meraory's choicest scene
Twined round with sweet for-get-me-nots
And decked with evergreen.

NEWS FROM OVER THE SEA
ANTRIM.

About 1000 employees at the Queens
Island, Belfast, are idle through strike.
The platers' helpers, who have long been
agitating for an increase Of wages from
the platers who employ them, made an
other request a few days ago, and no no.
tice having been taken of it, over 600 Of
the helpers stayed out on the morning Of
May 18th, as protest. They say that
men lemployed on similar work in other
yards receive wages at rate that brings
them in 29s. week, while they are paid
at the Queens Islaud from 23s to 26s. a
week. Without the helpers the platsrs
could not work, SO that there was stop
page of business, which will seriously
interfere with. the other branches of
shipbuilding should the strike continue
for any length of time. Should the dis
pute not be satisfactorily arranged 5000
men will eventually be thrown out of
employment.
The local committee for Ireland, act
ing in conjunction with the Royal Com
mission on the Chicago Fair, met on May
Oath, at the offices, 80 Dame street, Dub
lin, Mr.. J. j. O'Meara in the chair. The
Belfast Chamber of Commerce wrote in
forming the committee that the Chicago
Exhibition would be on the order list for
the next quarterly meeting, and saying
that if the committee sent deputation

bers of it to state the object of their
visit. The correspondence also included
letters from leading public men in Bel
fast, including Sir E. J. Harland, M. F.,
Mr.. James Musgrave, Chairman of the
Belfast Harbor Commissioners, Mr.. r.
s. Reade. Mr.. w. B. Ritchie, and others,
expressing their willingness to cooper
ate with the Royal Commissioners IN Sc
curing an adequate representation of
Irish art and Industries at the Chicago
Exhibition. The local committee unani-
mously decided to avail themselves of
the invitation of the Belfast Chamber of
Commerce, and q deputation was nomin-
ated to attend the meeting.

An important licensing case was de-
cided at Cootehill, on May 25th, by Judge
Waters. Three persons named McCabe,
owners of pubic-house, the license Of
which was in the name Of one of them,
had been fined at petty sessions for sell
ing drink without license had been re-
newed by the magistrates. The police
maintained that a conviction last year,
under the Food and Drugs Act, though
not endorsed on the license following
two previous convictions), entailed for
fixture of the license. Judge Waters
reversed the conviction, and confirmed
the license.

Delusive Statistics.

The statement has been made, says
the Catholic Standard, and is now going
the rounds of the press that, according
to the last official census of the United
States, the total number of Catholic
children within the school age in this
country is 2,250,0OO; that of this number
10000 are attending parochial schools
and Catholic academies and colleges,
and the remaining 100000 are either
attending the public schools or are
wholly uncared for educationally. Now
as this statement is both misleading and
untrue, and is, moreover, calculated to
cast slur upon the magnificent results
of our paroehial school system, it is only
proper that the fallacy in the figures
should be pointed out.
We do this with no intention of re-
opening the vexed school controversy,
but simply as a matter of justice to the
hierarchy and clergy of this country,
who have been charged with either cast
ing to the wolves OF utterly neglecting
two-thirds of the precious lambs COM
mitted to their care.
Now, what are the facts? Conceding
the correctness of the figures given
though we doubt their accuracy--that
there are 2,250,00O Catholic children
"within the school age' in this country,
let us ask, What is the school sge? As
commonly given, it is between seven and
seventeen years. But out of 2,25OOO0
Catholic children, how many are there to
whom these limits as to age will apply?
Select one thousand Catholic children
from any city or diocese in the country,
and OF that number, we venture to say,
less than one-third of these children,
owing to their condition in life and the
necessity of going to work at an early
age, could remain at school until they
had completed their seventeenth year,
and considerably more than one-half
would be- through with their schooling
by the time that they were thirteen or
fourteen years old. A little reflection
will convince any one that this is abso-
lutely true.
What, then, Is the conclusion? In
stead of 2,25O, 900, we pnhesitatingly de-
clare that there are not to-day over
1,O00,O 200, or, at most, 1,10O 600, Catholic
children with the, to them, practical
school age, in the United States. OF
these 10000 are provided for by the
Church, and the remainder, one-fourth
only, or at most one-third, are unac-
counted for.
The much Wanted public school sys-
tenn can make no such showing as do our
parochial schools in this matter of gath
ering up and instructing the children Of
our country. Catholics have just reason
to be proud Of the grand work done by
their parochial schools, and they should
not be robbed of the credit that is theirs,
nor should their work be minimized. It
was prominent New York publicist
who recently remarked that there was
nothing in the world SO stubborn as fig
ures, excepting, perhaps, facts-a remark
that applies quite as forcibly to Catholic
educational statistics as it did to Presi-
dental representations.

It is stated that the notorious "Remov-
able," Cecil Roche, has been appointed
by the Balfour administration to the Of
flee Of Commissioner of Fisheries, vacant
by the enforced retirement of Sir Thomas
Brady, under the a65 rule" The sFish-

DERRY.

A serious disturbance took place on
the evening of May 21st, at Derry bar

two drunken men in the canteen, and
soon developed into fierce fight between
the militia and regular soldiers of the
North Lancashire regiment which lasted
about fifteen minutes Several on both
sides we're injured with belts and stones.
Six wounded militiamen are in the mill
tary hospital. The authorities are very
reticent as to the occurrence.

We regret to announce the demise of
Mr.. John J. Murphy, Carrit Bannow,
carried off in the prime of youth. He
caught influenza early in March, and al
though he struggled hard agrinst the
fell disease it carried him off in the end.
The large cortege which attended his
funeral to the family burial-grounds
in Rossdroit showed the esteem in which
he was held by all classes in the commu-
nifty. Several members of his own pro-
fession accompanied his remains to their
last resting place. The funeral Office
and Mass was held in the Church of
Bannow, on May 21st.

the Cork United Trades Association, a
deputation was appointed to wait on the
Corporation to impress upon that body
the necessity for renewing the guarantee

the guarantee.
One of the fastest passages recorded OF
sailing vessel from America was made
by the Norwegian bark Borghild, recently
discharging cargo of deals to- Messrs.
James O'Connor & Sons, at the South
Jetties, Cork. The Borghild left ST.
Johns, n. B., on May 9Th, and arrived in
Cork Harbor on the Goth, thus making
the run in fifteen days; which is all the
more remarkable as the vessel carried an
| unusually large cargo of deals, piled up
high on deck, as we'll below the hatch
ways.
Mr.. e. s. O'Farrell, auctioneer, on May

TIPPERARY.

A remarkable occurrence took place at
Tipperary, on Saturday evening, May
31st, at the Catholic Church. After the
evening devotions, as the Rev. D. Humph-
reys, c. G., was leaving the church, he
was accosted, at the door, by Sergeant
Fogarty, who informed the Rev. gentle
man that he had q warrant against him
for two guineas, and on Father Humph-
reys questioning the sergeant as to what
the claim was made for, the constable re-
piled that it was for the costs obtained
against him some time ago by the ten
ants against whom he processed for pos
session at the Petty Sessions for the re-
covery of certain houses in New Upper
ary. Father Humphreys informed the
Sergeant that he would not pay the
amount, and the latter then Withdrew,
and nothing further has been heard of
the matter since.

DUBLIN.

A large meeting in support Of the fund
being raised by the Augustinian Fathers,
for the completion of the interior of the
Church of SIS. Augustine and John,
Thomas street, Dublin, was held in the
church on May 22nd. His Grace the
Archbishop presided, and the Lord
Mayor was also present. e1,225 was col
lected, G5O0 of which was subscribed by
Mr.. John Talbot Power and Mrs. Thos'
Power, and 9100 by the Archbishop.
The death is announced of Mr.. John
A. Barry, solicitor, Dame street, Dublin,
quiet but determined and reliable Ma
tionalist. Mr.. Barry was one of the small
band of citizens of Dublin who gathered
together in the dark days of 1890-91 to
organize the strength of Ireland in sup
port OF the majority OF the Irish party,
and to give the genuine public opinion OF
Ireland expression. He was one of the
temporary committee who laid the foun-
dation of the National Federation, and
was one of the hardest workers at that
time of need. The trial proved that the
national cause has at it's service many
silent and retiring soldiers, never anx-
ious for prominence. but not afraid to
face the day and fight the battle in sea-
sons of emergency. MIR. Barry was one
of these, and those who witnessed his
services will regret that he has passed
away before the coming of the liberty
the prospect of which he helped to save
for Ireland.
At the last meeting of the committee
of the Father Mathew Centenary Statue,
at the Mansion House, Dublin, it was
stated by Mr.. G. Mccarthy that he had
been to Miss Redmond's studio and had
to report that the full-sized model of the
statue of Father Mathew is now COM
pleted. The highest praise as due to
Miss Redmond for the magnificent work
she has produced. Before the statue can
be placed Oh the pedestal in Upper
O'Connell street, considerable sum
more than G200-has to be subscribed.
The committee hope that those who
honor the memory of Father Mathew
will come forward and assist the commit
tee with. their subscriptions, SO that the
sum may be realized in time for the sta
tue to be publicly unveiled on the 10th
day of October next.

In Sligo, on May 81, the adjourned in
vestigation of the Buninadden murder
case was resumed. Sergt. McEvoy, of
the Dublin Detective force, identified
the prisoner as Thomas Hunt, which
Sergt. O'Brien corroborated. Mary Nc
Gloin, wife of the murdered man, testi-

then came up, and said to her brother,
"Be going, or you will be taken by the
police" Her brother then left, and she
