WASHINGTON, Sept PA new Catholic
church was today dedicated On st. Georges
Island, st. Mary's county Nd, making the

intimate friend Of DR.. lyman, his mother
and two sisters were among those present.
These who went down from Washington

celehEant; Father GiIard, deacon; Father
lyman, sub deacon, and Father Campbell,
the provincial. The dedicatory services
were brief, and after the mass had been
celebrated Rev. Father Campbell preached
sermon, taking as his text "St Francis
Xavier" the name of tie new church. He
dwelt long and passionately upon the sac
rifices made by the Saint and drew touch
ing picture OF his closing days He spoke
of the great efforts made to rear the new
church ard admonished the islanders that
they must do their duty in paying off the
small debt which it was necessary TO incur
TO complete it.

with brief congratulatory remarks upon
the successful efforts of Father lyman and
expressed the hope that the church would
grow and prosper.-SaH.

Using Postage Stamps for Seals.

Americans who chance to receive let
tiers from Russia are usually surprised
to find the foreign postage stamp on
their envelope used as a seal-afixed,
that is to say, to the center of the side
opposite to that on which the address is
written. Sometimes Russians settling
in the United States continue the prac-
tice acquired at home, much, of course,
to the annoyance of United States post
Office officials. A case of this kind oc-
CURED recently in New York state, but
it was explained quite inadequately by
a writer, who alleged that the ~colonists
sealed their letters with the postage
stamps because communications from
the United States were usually opened
in the Russian p~ostofices before being
delivered. AS a matter of fact the habit
is diffused all through Russia, and SIM
ply means that distrust of the imperial
~postofice in that country is widespread.

n STILL AT 1T.

There is a degree of maudlin rot and
senile stuff, talked by old age and beard
less cubs about the cigarette trust.
This paper does not care much about
the matter, because it wants the DUKES
and more men like 'em, to engage n
keep engaged in business in Durham.
But all this mysterious and misty refer
ence to such an enterprise in the matter
of alleged trusts, makes people tired.
It is a pleasant reflection to read an
advertisement like this in the antitrust
papers:
No Free Lunch,
picture cards or house lots given away with
the admiral" Quality alone is turnlshed the
Admiral" cigarettes are not made by a
trust.
Well, what of it?
Are we to understand by these holy
haters of the tremendous trust that
cigarettes by any other name would be
sweeter still?
All there is about it, and the truth may

Duke concern and they cannot do it.
If whiskey is made, it does not matter
as to it's ultimate results whether it is
licensed whiskey or blockade stuff. And
so it does not matter about cigarettes,
whether they are made within the trust
or without the trust
The catch is in the maudlin and beastly
appeal to sentiment. We would say that
kids should not smoke cigarettes at all,
but we also hold that rich institutions are
in better shape to give better goods than
a crowd of half starved, desperate asses,
who howl that they are not in the trust.
The real trouble is, they cannot get
into the trust.
THE GLOBE newspaper holds it to be a
general proposition, and the logic of that
proposition must be considered, when
we say that the DUKES with their facili-
ties, can make better goods than some Of
the cheap, hysterical and hypocritical
outfits, making the same class of goods,
and yelling "no trust" mo trust"
Such rot makes people with common
sense very tired.

AS WE SEE IT.

There is sorrow in that house over
Yonder. A sisters heart is broken-a
mothers face is bathed in tears. There
is sunlight and warmth and happiness
round about and through the world-but
for that mother and that sister all is
darkness and gloom and despair. Moth
ing that they have done causes their
gnawing grief, no, they have done all that
mortals could do to prevent it, without
anticipating it-yet for all of that it
came. A son and brother has gotten
into the web of the law-and the spiders
of the law are holding him. There is
hope for re~lease-because life is builded
alone on Hope-and Disappointment
finds relief in a further Hope that all
will be better, and the knowledge that
all could have been worse. The way
ward son and brother regrets, after it is
too late that he did what he did, and
that which he thinks he would not do
again. But after all he argues-human
nature is weak-I could not help it!
Yet had that sister with a broken heart
gone wrong-had she listened to the Sc
ductive song of the siren Sin, and yielded
her soul and body, then that brother
would have rallied and stormed and
sought vengeance, galore But newell,
he had no thought of mother or sister
or, father in the grave. He claimed it as
his privilege to raise all the hell on earth
that his birthstone would furnish he
was naughty and defant-wicked and
weak. Wicked because be did not care
to be good-weak because he refused the
strength which GOD had given him.
And so his is a heavy heart-there's
hearts of stone. Eyes are dimmed with
tears-the rose is plucked and the thorn
remains-and the remorseless wheels Of
time roll on and on

Badness Among Young People.

If the unsatisfactory statistics that I
have been able to collect can be relied
on, the proportion of badness in boys
and girls under twenty is about eighty
to seven. AS the majority of girls at
the age under consideration wear their
hair loose, or in simple Marguerite"
braids, so that there is little likelihood
of deception, while unwholesome head
gear OF other individual practices can
hardly as yet have had time to produce
any material effect upon either sex, we
may regard the differences indicated by
the figures as practically due to the
working of heredity alone.-Miss E. F.
Andrews in Popular Science Monthly.

A GOOD

The esteemed Washington Post, always
le~vel-headed, is making a vigorous fight
for the passage of the bill introduced in
IN congress sometime ago, for the reor.
ganization of the railway mail service.
The Post is perhaps truly posted in this
matter, it's editor, FRANK HATToN, hav
ing been postmaster general, and while
postmaster general attending to the
duties of his office.
1t strikes THE GLOBE that instead of
penny postage, increased facilities for
handling our enormous mails-increased
salaries for Overworked and underpaid
postal route agents would be timely and
proper.
In the old days it was nothing much to
pay twenty-five cents postage on an ordi-
nary letter, and in these days the two
is not a hardship.
Let The Post whoop up its its theory
n idea-and let the press of the ountry
join it in the fight.
There is more sense in the proposition
than in all this wild and wooly stuff
about free silver and the tariff.
