The Christian Advocate, Of Nashville,
Tenn, is the latest Protestant paper that
ridicules the bogus encyclical Of the
Pope. We quote the following from it
for the special benefit Of 3. j. Doyle, of
the local British-American organ: We
have too much self respect to give our
sanction to 80 puerile method Of fight
ing the Pope. That anybody could
think this document genuine is amazing.
On It's face it is most transpa emit forg-
cry. The author of it was evidently some
Protestant who thought it no harm to
lie against Romanism. We shonld be
utterly ashamed OF ourselves to give any
sort Of circulation to the silly document
in question.

MARSHAL Edward w. Murphy dietin-
guished himself for bravery in the terri
BILE conhagration which occurred last
Monday at the Worlds Fair grounds,
and in which about twenty persons lost
their lives. Murphy was the first win
ner of the Lambert Tree medal which is
given every year to fremen who perform
heroic deeds in saving human life. One
OF the most courageous deeds ever wit
messed was that Of Marshal Murphy in
rescuing Capt. Fitzpatrick from the roof
of the cold storage building. Poor Fitz-
patrick was so badly burned that he died
on reaching the hospital, but Marshal
Murphy, Captain Kennedy and Hans
Rehfeldt risked their own lives to save
MIN from the devouring element, and
they richly merited the enthusiastic
plaudits Of the $4,000 spectators who
witnessed their deed of bravery. The
Chicago papers give thrilling reports Of
their achievement in saving Fitzpatrick
from the blazing tomb.

THOSE visiting the Worlds Fair who
expected to increase their volubility by
kissing the piece of Blarney stone in the
Irish Village have been sadly disap-
pointed on discovering that no part Of
the real stone has been taken to Chicago
from Ireland. The stone remains intact
in the old castle near Cork and no one
will be permitted to disturb or mutilate
it. The fragment Of an Irish stone in
Chicago, however, possesses about as
much talismanic power as the far-famed
Blarney stone in the wall of the old
castle.

The Pail Mall Gazette has changed it's
politics with its change of ownership and
is now Tory organ of the most radical
type. Lord Salisbury is contributor
to it's pages and in recent article saws
he is opposed to Home Rule because if
it is granted India will demand the same
thing. Another of his objections to
Home Rule is that in the event of war
between England and some tther power,
an unfriendly Irish executive would
permit the enemy to procure coal and
provisions in Irish ports and allow the
coasts to be used as rendezvous for priva-
teere.

upon the poor Indian 81 esch and 81 the
nations OF Europe that came into contact

eyitable result Of the march Of civiliza-
ton which treads remorselessly on the
weak and feeble and ends with the sur

cruelty the chief nations OF Europe
seized and held all parts OF America.
All these vast continents and islands are
dominated and controlled BY European
races. But it is due to the Spanish,
French and Portuguese people to note
that, while their conquest OF native
tribes Of America was marked with cru
city, yet they preserved and engrafted
the body Of the native population into

thus formed sixteen independent repnb-

THE SPANISH cARAVELS.

Three curiously constructed ships bear
ing the familiar names OF the Santa
Maria, Pinta and Nina arrived in Chicago
last week after long voyage. The first
of them was built at the expense of Spain
while the other two were constructed at
the expense Of the United States, and
they are exact reproductions Of the three
ships in which Columbus and his brave
mariners sailed from Palos, Spain, on q
bright morning four hundred years ago.
The three modern ships also left Palos
amid the acclamasions OF the Spanish
people, and under the command Of Capt,
Victor ConaAs pursued much the same
course as the old vessels, but instead of
having San Salvador for their deetina-
tion they had Havana as their objective
port.
In Chicago there were people from all
corners Of the globe, attired in the garbs
Of their respective countries, to welcome
the three little ships and their occupants
as soon az they made their appearance
on Lake Michigan. Crafts Of all sizes
and descriptions were on the alert to give
the Spaniardsa welcome, but the revenue
cutter Michigan represented the govern
ment and was the first to give salute
and take the Spanish officers on board.
When the strangers arrived on the Fair
grounds they received grand ovation.

the occasion. and in the course Of bis adj

SOME time ago Archbishop Corrigan
deprived the Rev. DR.. Burtsell Of his
parish in New York and sent him to q
small town where he is officiating at
present. DR.. Burtsell appealed to Mgr.
Satolli and the latter promised to restore
him to his former parish and wrote to
the Archbishop saying: 1T seems wise
to us that it would be proper for you to
restore DR.. Burtsell to the parish Of
Epiphany, and if you cannot so arrange
matters as to bring about this result We
would direct that you place him in some
parish within your city limits Of equal
prominence and Importance to the one
from which you removed him." Instead
of complying with the request Of the
papal delegate, Archbishop Oorrigan has
appealed to the Propaganda and there is
no doubt but Mgr. SatoI]i will be sus-
tanned, for he is the Pope's representa-
tive in this country. 1t is also possible
that Archbishop G rrigan will get lee
ture for disobeying Mgr. Satolli. DR..
Burtseu is q man Of great learning and
is recognized as the best authority on
ecclesiastical law in this country. He
defended DR.. McG,ynn and when the
decision went againt HIM he appealed to
Rome where he got the best Of Arch
bishop Corrigan. It is because he dared
to stand by DR.. McGlynn and appealed
to Rome in his behalf that the Arch
bishop removed him from the metropolis
t. an obscure country town.

The Senate listened yesterday
with marked attention to Sherman
of Ohio, whose able speech will
only add to the reputation that he
sustains as the ablest financier of
the nation. He reviewed the stu
alton, did not think that the repeal
of the silver purchase act would
materially relieve the situation;
thought that any alteration in the
tariff laws would operate to the
greater distress of the country.
He discussed the coinage laws of
the nation, denied and branded as
a lie the Democratic declarations
as to "stealthy" decentralization of
silver in the act of 1878; charged
Stewart with voting for that meas
ure while he voted against it;
quoted Stewart as saying in debate
"E'Gold is the universal standard of
the world;" he would give the
party in power authority TO pro-
tect the credit of the government
and then wait for the clouds to roll

Sherman and after Teller had con-

be appreciated by the residen is of
this suburb. The mprovements
are expected to be completed with
in the next sixty days.
The water system will be in

capacity, and the erection of
$4,000 gallon tank was begun yes
terday.
Fire hydrants have been dis
tributed over the suburbs,and when
erected will give absolute protec-
ton against fire on the Heights. A
hose house will be built and a hose
reel will be stationed there for use
in case of fire. The water mains
are six and eight inches in diam
alter, which is said to,be sufficiently
large to protect property up there
for the next ten years.
