A JOINT fair and a series of prayer
services were recently held in Pittsburgh,
Pa, by Father Morgan M. Sheedy and
Rev. Geo. Hodges, the latter being head
of the wealthiest Protestant church in
the city. The net proceeds of the unique
entertainment amounted to 100000.
Catholic and Protestant women had
charge of the booths and worked har-
moniously together. The two clergymen
held peoples praise services for three
Sunday afternoons in the same hall, the
total attendance being about 10000.
The net profits of the fair and lectures
went to the Roman Catholic founding
asylum and the Protestant home for
fallen women. Father Sheedy was criti-
cised by some narrow minded Catholics.
but he advised the church going people
to stick to their churches, and reminded
the critics that the peoples praise serv-
ices we're given to reach thousands of
people VINO never enter church. He
thought that people of that class were
softened by the music and the words of
spiritual advice they heard may yet bring
them within the fold.

A CURIOUS series of condolences took
place at the last general election in con-
nection with the candidature and cleo
ton of Mr.. James O'Connor, who in the
old evil days suffered several years. i'm
prisonment as Fenian, says the London
Star. In the year 1893, during the Ere
bellion'' in Ireland, thirty-two mon were
shot for treason without trial, on piece
of common land called Dunlavin Green.
The man by whose orders they we're shot
was certain Colonel Saunders, and one
of the men shot was man named Kear-
ney. Dunlavin Green is situated in the
present constituency of West Wicklow.
The Unionist candidate for West Wick
low at the last election was Colonel
Saunders, who is q grandson of the Col
onel Saunders by whose orders Kearney
was shot. The Nationalist candidate
was Mr.. James O'Connor, q grandson OF
Kearney. Mr.. James O'Connor held the
first meeting during his candidature on
Dunlavin Green, and referred to these
facts in bis speech, and in the end Mr..
James OConnor was returned by ma
jority Of 1873.

The organs of the Orange and Know
nothing secret orders will be furious
when they learn that President Cleve-
land has honored the head of the "Rom-
ieh Church" by sending him through
Cardinal Gibbons his sincere congratula-
tions on the golden jubilee of his episco-
pate. Not only that, but he says his pleas
ure of presenting his fluctuations is en-
HANGED by the remembrance that the
Pope has always manifested lively in
terest in the prosperity of this country
and great admiration for it's political in
situations. He does not believe with the
bigots that the Pope has insidious designs
to destroy American institutions, and as
q token of his esteem for the exalted
character of Leo he sends him bound
copy of official letters and documents
written by his own hand during his first
administration.

IT is not known by many that Mr..
Gladstone claims direct descent from
Henry Ill, King OF England, and from
Robert Bruce, King Of Scotland. Among
his anceetresses, too, is Lady Jane Beau
fort, who married King James l. OF Scot
land. The latter, while captive at Wind
sor became acquainted with Lady Jane
and the young couple we're welded at
the old church Of st. Saviour, at the
foot of London Bridge. When released
from captivity James took his brideto
share his Scottish throne. After his as
sassination his widow, disconsolate for q
time, married Sir James Stuart, and
from line to line at last descended Anne
Robertson, who, in April, 1870, married
John Gladstone, father OF the Grand
Old Man. It is probably owing to this
knowledge of his royal descent from the
kings Of both Scotland and England,
that Mr.. Gladstone has invariably re-
fused any title or peerage.

HIS Eminence Cardinal Moran, arch
bishop of Sydney, Australia, had severe
al tack of influenza while in Rome. On
the advice of his physician he left the
Eternal City for Ireland where he ar
rived in the early part of July. His ma
tive air benefited the distinguished pre-
late and he has almost completely recov-
cred his strength. He expects to attend
the Catholic congress and the parliament
of religions in Chicago next month. The
learned Irish ecclesiastic will probably
respond TO Archbishop Feehan's address
of welcome on the opening OF the con.
vention, and at one of the evening ses
sions he will deliver an address on "The
Mission of the Church to all Races OIL
Mankind" Cardinal Moran is an elo
quent speaker who will charm his audi
once by the elegance of his diction and
fine delivery.

UN1rED Ireland, the organ Of the Par
nellites, refers to the pugilistic enooun-
ter in parliament as follows: The die
graceful and unprecedented scene in the
House Of Commons is very naturally
CALLING to the pride Of Englishmen. They
delighted in calling it, and in hearing it
called, the first assembly Of gentlemen in
the world, and whenever scene OF NO.
lence took place in any foreign legislature
they thanked their stars that such q
scene could never take place in the
House Of Commons. But their faith in
its .:gentility" has been rudely shaken,
if not completely destroyed, and they
must feel that the rowdyism is enough
to bring upon their cherished assembly
the contempt of all civilized nations.

The gracious act OF the Baptists of
Long Island City in giving the Catholics
the use of their church has attracted
wide attention and elected favorable
comments from the press of the country.
The Record and Union, Of Rochester,
Mimi, comments upon it intelligently as
follows: The Baptists are not 50 bitterly
opposed to the Catholics as they were.
A few years ago such tolerance would
have been impossible. It is barely fifty
years since mobs we're burning down
Catholic churches in Philadelphia, hunt
ing the Catholics through the streets to
do them physical violence. There has
been vast change for the better. The
scots are becoming less seclarian and
more religious.

DIR. ALBERT SHAW, editor of the Re.
view of Reviews, contributes to the Au-
gust number of his own magazine an IL
Illustrated article on the career of the late
Senator Leland Stanford. The article
covers in an interesting way the early
period of Stanford's life, his migration to
California, his rise as a business man,
his services as war governor, his instru-
mentality in the construction of Pacific
railways, and finally his GROWING work
in the establishment of the Leland Stan
ford, Jr, University. The article is an
interpretive discussion o. the principles
that underlay the career of this emin-
emily successful man.

and his accredited representative who
was the center of attraction at the time
in the sanctuary of the cathedral? We
can realize the humiliation experienced
by Archbishop Corrigan in making a
public profession of his loyalty to official
superiors, and We are strongly OF the
opinion that he was induced TO ''eat the
leek" to escape a deeper humiliation
which was in store for him. Now that
he is submissive to the papal ablegate
we hope to see no more attacks in the
New York Sun from his clerical satellites.
It has been said that it is not the pro-
vince Of lay journalists to meddle in
ecclesiastical discussions, but we disagree
with the clerical editors who say so.
The lay editors of Catholic papers have
a right to make proper comments on
matters Of this kind and inform their
readers Of what is going on inside and
outside the Church. On the whole, the
|. Catholic 1aymen have been judicious and
conservative in their, criticisms, while
their clerical confreres have allowed
themselves to be carried away by their
heated feelings. Let US hope that the
disagreeable controversy is now at an
end, and that peace and harmony may
prevail hereafter between the priests and
bishops Of the American church over
which IA g. Satolli is placed by Leo XIII.

Emperor William OF Germany Is sald
to have made some interesting COMPARE
sons between the various nations OF, the
world recently. According to member
of HIS Majesty's suite, discussion was
going on between high officials and the
Emperor as to the possible outcome OF
the French dispute with Siam, when His
Majesty remarked that England was not
strong enough to assert herself against
any European power, or against the
United States. He further declared that
if ever she was brought into conflict
with any of the nations, the belief in her
formidable strength and her reputation
as queen OF the seas would burst like
soap bubble.

The Bartholdi fountain of Centennial
fame is the most creditable work OF art,
perhaps, that is owned by the Govern
ment in Washington. Unfortunately it
is hidden away amid the foliage Of the
botanical garden grounds, and very few
people, even among the sight seers, Al re-
aware of it's existence. The fountain is
of iron, and is fifty feet high. The Gov
eminent purchased it at q cost of Sc, 900,
which is 81 600 less than Bartholdi first
asked for it, but rather than reship it to
Paris the artist accepted the Govern
ment's offer. The act of Congress appro-
priating the $1,000 was one Of the last
bills to receive the signature Of President
Grant, who signed it on March 8, 1877,
the day before Hayes took his seat. It
has lately been suggested that the beau
tiful fountain be rescued from it's hiding
place and put up III the wide space north
Of the entrance to the State, War and
Navy building, opposite the Corcorans
Art Gallery, whore it would daily be seen
and admired by thousands
