SENATOR PROCTORsr TRIBUTE.
His Praise of Gen. StarI<'s Great Work
at the Battle of bennington,

After the report in yesterdays Star OF
the proceedings in the Senate in connection
with the presentation of the statues of
John Stark and Daniel Webster by the
state of New Hampshire to the United
States, addresses were made by Senator
Hoar, Senator Dubois and Senator Proctor.
The latter, in the course of his remarks
said that Gen. John Stark was a natural
leader of men, whether on the frontier or
in the council OF organized armies. IL he
had served in great armies with the oppor-
tunitieS for training and experience which
such service affords, he would still have
been in the front rank. Whenever his field
broadened he proved himself equal to its
requirements lie was more than q parti-
san when he held the left of the line at
Bunker Hill, or when in command at Ben

sentative of the best type of our counLry's
pioneer leaders. New Hampshire there

Senator PrOctOr's Remarks.
Senator Proctor then referred specially to
that portion of Gen. Stark's career which
is identified with Vermont. He spoke of
the region about Lake Champaign, where
Stark served his military apprenticeship,
and here, he said, he had performed his
conspicuous service. Upon his success at
Bennington, the Senator said, moro than
all else Stark's fame must rest. For the
first time Stark was in command of an
army, and Bennington was a well-planned
and well-fought battle. In addition, the
men knew their general and he knew ms
men. The victory at Bennington PRACTICAL

/. DURING the G.. A. r. memorial exer-
cises held last Sunday in the opera house
at Jamestown, N. d., one Rev. Mr..
Thompson displayed his bigotry by
charging Catholics with endeavoring to
make sectarian institutions of the public
schools. Capt. VIM. Gleason, an old G.
A II. veteran, interrupted him by rising
in the audience and saying, II beg your
pardon, comrades, but the gentleman is
lying" He then retired from the meet
ing, and the report says that "all eyes
were turned toward the retreating form
of the veteran" It is about time for
Catholic patriots to rebuke such bigots
as Thompson by initiating the action of
Capt. Gleason. Nosoccasion is too sacred
for some Protestant parsons to refrain
from reaecting on the loyalty of Catholic
citizens.

vast sum Of $4,000. It is society
formed for the promotion Of fraternity,

pendents of deceased members. The
eleventh annual convention OF the order
will be held in st. Paul from June 5 to 9

The Chicago Herald received hum
dreds of letters from men and women
explaining why they don't 60 to church,
but none of them professed to have be-
longed to the Catholic church at any
period of their lives. A Catholic STU
dent wrote to the Herald saying that
persons will continue to give reasons for
not attending church until all people be-
long to one fold and one shepherd. From
the diversity of creeds now existing in
the world and the spirit Of religious in
difference which Professionalism has gen.
Grated, there is but gloomy prospect
for all men to enter one fold under one
shepherd to obey the divine injunction,
"Remember that thou keep holy the

Catholic Church always Welcomes gladly

slander that Catholics cannot be loyal

THE French republic has instituted
proceedings in the United States courts
to recover about $4,000 damages from
the Worlds Columbian Exposition COM
pany for exhibits destroyed by fire in
the Manufactures Building after the
fair had closed. The exhibits were in
the custody OF the Worlds Fair direc'
tors when the fire occurred, and France
is therefore entitled to compensation
Instead of paying the French claim as
matter of equity, the directors absolutely
refused to settle, and hence the suit. 1t
is poor policy for Chicago to treat the
generous French people so shabbily after
contributing so much to the success OF
the fair.
