The Fisherman's Ring.

Rev. 81. G. Denny, s. j., recently
preached sermon in New York on the
origin, symbolism and significance Of the
official ring or signet worn by the sue
cessors of St. Peter. Rings we're origin
ally intended, said he, as symbols OF
special acts or ceremonies. This inten
tion has to some extent survived to ou1
times, for have we not the engagement
ring, the marriage ring, the episcopal
ring, each intended as sign or reminder
of the permanence. of tho sanctity, Of
the state to which they belong? The ring
is sign of completeness. like serpent
swallowing without beginning
without end.
It is fit and proper that ring should
be set apart as emblematic of the com
pletenees, the, absolute authority of The
successor Of St. Peter. But why should
a fish be the sign of st. Peter? Petel
was the successor Of our Lord Jesui
Christ, and the fish was the sign of the
Saviour. The letters of the Greek ,wore
s'ish"-ichthus- are the initials of The
words, also in Greek, "Jesus Christ tht
Son of God," 80 what more appropriate
acrostic could there be?
Peter, too, when selected by oul
Saviour as the one who should be thu
leader of the men associated in His work
as His own successor and the man upor
VIII ON His Church should be founded
was but humble fisherman by ths
shores of the Sea of Galilee when called
by the Messiah to the great work He hao
in store for him.
"Henceforth thou shalt be fisher o.
men," In the time to come you ane
your successors, instead of catching fish
in the waters of the lake, shall capture
the souls of the sons of men from the
waters of the great ocean of life.
The fish, then, is the appropriate en-
blem fof the ring Of the Holy Father
the man who has succeeded to the work
of st. Peter. Great significance goes
with the ''Seal Of the Fisherman,
which is attached to all Papal document
Of Importance. just as the pallium ii
personal, SO is the ring personal to th'
individuality Of the Pope, and can b
used only By him.

life began for Miss Allen. The unsel6sl
piety of the sisters powerfully impressed
her and she determined to enter the sis
terhoe d as soon as her season Of proba
ton was ended.
| Her mother, Ter friends, her, lover
tried to dissuade her. In the hope O.
diYerting her mind she was taken from
the convent into the most fashionable
circles of city life, whore her brllliancy
and beauty attracted universal admira
ton. Her afiianced lover made to hel
the most tender appeals. If she longeo
to become a minister of charity, like the
good sisters, his fortune was hers. All
ha asked was that he might work beside
hsr and sustain her strength.
But Fanny Allen was indexible. She
had the energy, decision and drmness OF
her father, controlled by the gentleness
of trustful nature. Her first love did
not grow cold. Her lover was dearer to
her than ever. It was because she loved
him so we'll that she was constrained to
obey the call of One through whom she
hoped to secure mis- eternal welfare.
In due time Miss Allen, confident of
the genuineness of her conversion to the
Catholic faith, returned to the convent
to prepare for her final withdrawal from
the world. Her life at the convent "Ho-
tel Dieu" was an exceedingly happy one.
She became known far and wide, and
every visitor to Montreal was drawn to
pay q visit to the ''Beautiful American
Nun After assuming the religious
habit she lived eleven years and came to
the end of her beautiful life at the age
of thirty five years. These eleven years
witnessed SO many conversions of her
relatives and acquaintances to the Catho-
lie faith as to establish the miraculous
character of her own experience. The
physician who attended her last hours, a
Protestant, was so touched by her faith
that when at the last moment her con-
fessor exclaimed: ''Come to her assist
ance, all ye SAINTS of God" he fell upon
his knees and made solemn promise,
which was executed by leaving his pro-
fession, joining the Church, and entering
a religious community.
Her intended husband sold what he
had and gave it to the poor and himself
to the service of the Church. The Rev.
Mr.. Barber: the Episcopal minister who
baptized Miss Allen, became Catholic
at the age of sixty-two, and his con and
grandson became Jesuit priests and mis-
sionaries to the Indians.
Her relations, and those who knew her
we'll, almost without exception, followed
her example; two Of them, Protestant
clergyman and his wife obtained Papal
decree permitting them to separate, in
order that the husband might become q
priest and his wife a nun. This lady af-
forwards was the Superior OF a convent
in Southern city.

Although a good many thousand
dollars have been expended in get
ting exhibits from this Territory
for the Columbian Exposition, Il
seems that those who have it in
charge are too busy taking in the
sights to attend to the arrange
ment Of the exhibits for which
they are well paid. The situation
is described in this way in the
last issue Of the Western Liberal:
Larry McCourt came in Mon
day direct from Chicago where he
attended the Columbian Exposi-
tion. He reports an immense
crowd there that day, in fact the
crowd was so large that there was
not much of a chance TO enjoy the
sights. He attended the fair for
several days. He says he was
greatly disappointed in the exs
hibits from both New Mexico and
Arizona The New Mexico ex-
hibit was not all in place and the
people who ought to be getting it
in shape seemed to be busy about
something else. The Arizona ex-
hibit was still in worse shape than
the one from New Mexico. The
exhibit from the Copper Queen
company at Bisbee was In place
and a very fine exhibit it was. It
was about the only exhibit in the
building that was properly dis
played. The Arizona Copper
company's exhibit was probably a
fine one, but as it was still packed
in the original cases no one could
pass an opinion on it. The exhib-
It's were under the charge of Capt.
Thomas and he did not have time
% arrange it. 1t might be we'll |
ior the commissioners and exhib-
tors from both New Mexico and |
Arizona to make a point of seeing
hat the exhibits were displayed |
t is not SO necessary to have the |
.ttend ants displayed.

PREsfBENr CLEVELAND has re-
solved to take a little of his time
to attend TO matters of govern
ment and Office seekers will have
to content themselves with urging
their cases elsewhere than at the
White House. Henceforth the
President will not listen to the
claims Of Office seekers and they
will be obliged to pour their tales
of woe into other ears. The Presi-

months to attend to the duties Of
his Office and receive the Office
seekers who have crowded Wash
ington since the Inauguration, but
found that it was more than he
could do and finally issued the or

THE average daily attendance at
the Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago so far has been considerably
below the average attendance at
the Centennial at Philadelphia in
May, 1876. Both fairs opened ON
the first day of May and both
were incomplete at the time Of the
SO that the comparison is
fair. The fact is that Chicago has
not the population within easy
reach that Philadelphia has. Phil
adelphia is within twelve hours
ride of all the large Atlantic coast

New York and Brooklyn. The
Fair managers may yet discover
that it was a mistake to have the

A GOOD many of the politicians
are beginning to think that the
President will call no special ses-
sion of congress. The gold export
scare has very largely subsidized
and there does not appear to be
any necessity for calling congress
together in advance of the regular
time for meeting in December.
There are practically but two
questions before the people and
they are the silver question and
the tariff. The early repeal of the
Sherman law and the enactment
of free coinage law is very de-
sirable but the longer action is
deferred the more certain will a
free silver bill be of passage. Free
coinage is rapidly gaining strength
and the friends of silver can well
afford to wait until the regular
session of congress. The same is
true Of the tariff. 1t will require
considerable time for the prepara-
tion Of a tariff bill and the work
can be done as well before the
meeting Of congress as it can after
it assem- bles.

THE Headlight appears to have
been retained for the defense of
ex-Sheriff Lockhart in addition to
the regularly employed attorneys,
and it is doing its best; but its
best will not avail to prevent the
County commissioners doing their
duty by the public and forcing
Mr.. LocEhart to pay over the enor-
nous sums of public money which
he is illegally holding on to.
Every line of defense is being
adopted TO save Mr.. Lockhart, and
the very energy of this defense
shows his belief in it's necessity,
and makes it therefore all the
more necessary for the commits
sioners to push the prosecution.
The Headlight says that "there
is no necessity for this suit" OF
course Mr.. Lockhart thinks so,
and would be glad to have the
commissioners leave him alone
to enjoy the public funds which
he is wrongfully holding. The
Headlight says that "the question
is already pending before the
courts" Judge McFie says there is
no such case before the supreme
court. May we ask the Headlight
what court "the question" is be-
fore? The Headlight tries to
minimize the effect of MIR. Lock
hart,s misdoing by saying the il
legally made taxes collected by
Sheriff Lockhart are "said to be
something over S1O,O0O;" as a
matter of fact the amount of pub
lie funds still not paid over by him
amount to about $4,000. Alto
gether, the more the Headlight
attempts to defend Mr.. Lockhart
the worse it makes his case appear.
The County money now held by
Mr.. Lockhart would pay all its
current expenses and keep its
credit good; so that every creditor
of the County who is unable to get
his bill paid is being kept out of
his money. The County's cred
itors will back up the commission
ers in their efforts to force Mr..
Lockhart to pay over what be-
longs TO them.

WHERE Is THIS SUIT PESDINgi
Col Lockhart has in his hands
over $4,000 which he collected
from the tax payers Of this county
during his term Of Office, and
which he refuses to pay into the
County treasury, neither will he
pay it back to the tax payers from
whom he collected it. 1t is alleged
that this money was collected un-
der an illegal levy and the ex-
sheriff is "holding" it subject to a
decision of the supreme court Of
the Territory.
The Deming Headlight claims
that there is a suit pending in the
Territory involving the same ques-
tion which is involved in the case
which has been brought by the
County commissioners of the
County against Col. Locknart and
bondsmen, but has neglected to
state in what County this suit was
pending. The last issue of the
paper has the following: "The
County commissioners having
brought suit against Col. Lock
hart and his bondsmen for the tax
es collected by him under the alleg-
ed illegal assessments, tits proper
that the tax payers should under.
stand just the position in which
their County commissioners have
placed them. There is no necessity !
for this suit, and District Attorney |
Anceheta so advised the board of
commissioners. The question is al
ready pending before the courts,
and if determined in favor of the
County and Territory, Col. Lock
hart stands ready to pay the
money over without further pro-
ceedings If the question be deter
mined in favor Of the taxpayers,
then he will undoubtedly pay
-he amounts back to them. Mean
.ime, the County and Territory
nave no more right to this money
han Col. Lockhart has, and the
commissioners have no right to !
Ipend public money to aid in the
advancement of the interests of the
Silver City ring"
The mythical law suit involving
he same points as are involved in !
he suit brought by the County
commissioners of this County has
lever been located by the Head
light and the most dilligent in
luiry fails to locate it in New Mex
co. Such a suit may have been
in Florida or Massachu-
etts but the commissioners of !
his County are not governed by +;
he laws or the courts of those
tates and they have brought the
nit against Col Lockhart and his
in order to give him an
pportunity to get rid of the money !
'hich he stands ready to pay over, !
ccording to the Headlight.
The commissioners realize the
nxiety of Col. Lockhart to get
id of this large sum and know
hat he has been earnestly debat-
lg the question in his own mind
S to whether the money belongs
D the County or to the tax payers !
rom whom it was collected, for !
lany months, during which time {
