praying Up the steps"

The Catholics of Cincinnati gave re-
markable demonstration of the faith
that is in them when they prayed up
the steps" on Mount Adams. This pc
culiar custom has been in vogue for
about so years, and the Church of the
Holy Cross, standing on the brow of the
cliff on Mount Adams, has become cele-
brated far and near for the miracles per-
formed there. Fully 10000 men and
women prayed up the steps" on Good
Friday. There are 267 of the steps in
all and about 30 landings. The pilgrims
who visit the chapel must remain silent
for three hours.
The pilgrim upon reaching the stairs
on Third street repeats a Hail, Mary"
Stepping upon the first step, she pauses
and repeats the prayer. That done, she
steps up one and silently repeats Hail,
Mary" and thus step by step she prays
to the top, pausing on the platform to
repeat the Lords Prayer All this time
she keeps in mind certain wish she
hopes to have accomplished within the
year. Arriving at the church, the bare
footed monks bless them, and they go
about their business.
One of the fair penitents said most of
the young ladies pray for husbands. The
married women pray for their hayward
children. Those having sick friends pray
for their recovery. 1t is said cases of
rheumatism have been cured by the
patients praying up the steps" Every
Good Friday the steps are blocked with
penitents from noon to dark.-Cor. St.

great deal more 20 talk about, and that
ne did not know whether he could get

and no Senator hastcned TO relieve him by

10 the Democratic side OF the chamber and
then to the Republican side. After he

remarked that the Senator from Nevada

PELTED WITH EGGS.
THE FARMERS SHUT OUT BY THE
HULL-STReET CHERUBS.

Play by Napier.
Goobble, Goobblel Goobblel

Goobble. Goobble! Goobble!
One gulp and Il was over-yes all over.
Down, down into the throats Of the
Cherubs the poor Farmers slipped like cells
into a heron's throttle. But that's not
the worst of 1t. Before the game ended,
the Petersburg agriculturists were pelted
with goose eggs, and when the sun set
they had nothing-not single little run
to carry back 20 their expectant friends.
Full of hope and anticipation the
Farmers left their plowshares on Syca-
more street, and stuffed with sadness
they returned to their cherries burrows.
COULD NOT DO A THING.
But how on earth did It happen? Well,
1t was this way: That dear little love OF
a Cherub, Blankenship, pitched for the
Manchesterians and the Agriculturists
Just couldn't touch him. In all those long
nine innings they only got three hits,
while they couldn't field at all. Every
thing they did was Hong Kongish. In
the first inning they got two men on
bases. but alas, they perished, and then
for six innings they went out in one, two
three order.
|. But in the eighth inning they had
lovely chance to score. and II something
simply wonderful hadn't happened there is
no telling how many runs they would
have captured. Wilson, the first Farmer
batsman, pounded out a lovely single and
Limeburger showed him up to third with
a double. Just thinki None out and two
on bases. And then Quarles whacked a
corker to Napier. Doc" squeezed 1t and
put out JUNE" Then quick as flash
he ran over and touched Limeburger, who
was sprintlng down to third. Meanw hile
the runner who was originally on third
| piked it homeward, and Doc" dashed the
leather to Cupid Foster. The sprinter,
| seeing himself caught. ran back, and then,
| amidst a roar from the 100 delirous
| cranks. the fun between bases com
| menced. The runner was finally put out
| by Cherub Foster, and marvellous
| triple play was made.
The Farmers got another goose egg In
| the ninth inning.
