THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

He Writes on True Americanism and Com
pliments Citizens Of Foreign Birth.
In letter to the editor of the Ameri-
can Citizen of st. Paul, Theodore Roose-
Welt says: It gives me pleasure to write
q word in hearty commentator of the
spirit Of true Americanism. True Aneri-
canism is as absolutely alien to Know
nothingism on the one hand as it is to
every form of foreignism on the other.
Every foreigner who Comes to this
country is in honor bound to become an
American citizen pure and simple, with
out any qualification He has no bust
ness to bring into our American political
life the questions of European politics,
and especially the religious and race
rivalries of Europe. He is bound not to
act as an Irishman or German, English
man or Scandinavian, but purely as an
American. 1t is an outrage that any one
OF our political conventions should insert
into the party platform planks to catch
any division OF the foreign vote, because
it is an outrage that there should be any
division OF our voters who cast their
votes as foreigners.
But if the foreign born citizen who
comes over here, honestly and in good
faith fulflls the duties of American citi-
zenship and acts as an American pure
and simple, it is most emphatcally an
outrage to discriminate against him IN
any way because Of his birthplace or his
creed I have had the honor Of knowing
q number Of gentlemen who. have been
to congress from the Northwest during
thsspast few years, and among the very
stoutests Americans Of them ell I could
name certain congressman who happened

instituted. The new court was instituted
by John G, Schubert, High Chief Ran

Mayor Gilroy's Cat.

The cat that this story is ell about is
not Kilkenny cat, but a. Cork cat, and,
strange as it may seem, there would be
no cat to write about but for the fact
that the Duke of Varagua visited this
country last summer. Furthermore, the
Duke would not, in all probability, have
visited this country last summer but for
q little incident that happened in Octo-
Der, 1904, when, it will be remembered,
Christopher Columbus discovered Amer
lea. Therefore, this cat story is directly
due to the discovery of America. The
cat in question was formerly the pet and
pride of the mayor Of Cork, Ireland. 1t
is now the property of the mayor OF New
York. She arrived at the mayors Office
in Slated box last Tuesday, which was
received by Acting Secretary McDon
ough with some trepidation because he
did not know but that it might be new
sort of Internal machine. An envelope
can with it. Mr.. .McDonough opened
the box.
"Whst's in it," asked his Honor.
"A cat" said the Secretary.
Mayor Gilroy opened the envelope and
found that his visitor was miss Bridget
Cork" late of Ireland. A party Of gen.
tlemen scrutinized the cat with interest.
Miss Cork began to meow.
''H it were only Kilkenny cat we
could turn her over to the Republicans
to help them along with their row." said
a good Tammany man.
The Mayor pstted the cats head and
said she was nice cat. Then he ordered
her taken up to his home, where she will
be carefully cared for, and whore the rest
Of her days will be made happy.
The following letter tells something of
the past Of 'Miss Bridget Cork, and
from it will be seen that strange things
can result from discovering Continents.

THE ULSTER MASSACRE.

An American Delivers an Interesting Lect-
ure on the Irish Rebellion of l641.
In recent lecture by Prof Charles f.
A. Currier, of the Massachusetts Instl-
tute of Technology, the second Of his
series on 'English and Irish Relations
he referred briefly to the English policy,
which had continued through the CEN
turtles, OF confiscation of lands and the
prescription of the Catholic religion. He
said, in substances.
In the confiscation of land the English
never considered for moment that the
people had any rights. They treated the
land as the property OF the chiefs and
took it from them on any pretext, assign
ing it to Englishmen who were nearly al
ways absentees.
In the reign OF Charles I. these con-
fscations went on, and added to this
source of complaint there was the relig~
ious bitterness which existed between
the English and the irish, the situation
being rendered more severe at that time
because Of the control Of affairs in Eng
land by the Puritans.
Irish Catholics naturally took alarm at
the acts Of the Professionals and feared
that they would be chased out of the
country; it was no wonder, therefore,
that they in many cases adopted a course
of action toward the Professionals which
did not seem always justifable.
In 164l came the rebellion, one of the
darkest periods in the history of the
Irish. During this rebellion the fercest
crimes were perpetrated, and blaze of
vengeance spread over the country.
Agrarian CAUSES tended to stir up the
strife. The animosities between the
English and the Irish, partly dormant
before, eliminated in that rebellion.
Only confscation, banishment and pro-
scription stared the Irish people in the
face and the future of the country looked
dark and gloomy indeed. 7
In the latter part of 1641 fearful and
atroc1ous murders, massacres, burninps
and drownings were frequent, and thou
eands OF lives were sacrificed.
Investigat on, however, had shown that
the leaders of the rebellion were not
wholly responsible for the atrocities. that
occurred, but that they were mostly the
acts of an enraged and furious populaoe.
That rebellion began in Ulster and spread
rapidly, including in it's ravagee the Eng
lish Pale. It is now certain that the
English government used every means
to provoke the Catholic gentry and to.
draw them into the rebellion.
No reliable estimate of. the loss OF life
in that rebellion could be made. Some
placed the number ct 100000, others at
10000, the lowest being s, 600 lives. From.
first to last the English seemed to pur-1
sue policy DISCRIMINATION 1t was q
terrible time, and both the English and
the Irish suffered. I. VI IL

peal to you to see that your officers and
delegates are sent, and that they are
men fully equipped and faithful in the
discharge OF every duty. A most I'M

the convention will be the revision of
our constitution.
The national directory will, as set
forth in Section Z, Article ~, report to
the delegates many amendments which,
it adopted, will make thorough revision
of our organic law; the national officers
will report the work done and the pro

INITIATING THE CATHOLICS;

selves and Make the Way OF the Cross.
It was an impressive Lenten service
which drew $50 parishioners to the Rit
ualistic Episcopal Church Of st. Mary
the Virgin, in 10Th street, near Eighth
avenue, last evening, says. the New York
World. The Way of the Cross was pub
licly made for the first time, for aimee the
present set of stations were blessed when
they were placed in the church last Oc-
tober there had been no congregations
exercises in connection with them.
Except that the service was in English
instead of Latin there was little to indi
cate that the worshippers were Protest:
ants, not Catholics. The similarity be
gan when the members OF the copgrega.
ton entered the church. all bending the
knee and blessing themselves before
passing into the pews. d
BLESSING THE STATIONS. Ii I,
No organ was used during the service,
but at 8 o'clock the voices of the vested
choir were heard singing the Stabat
Mater Dolorosa." Then, while the con-
gregation stood, the procession of acolytea
and priest moved solemnly from the yes
try to the altar, bowed to the crucidz,
and, passing down into the body of the
church, stopped at tte first station.
The procession was led by cross
bearer, after whom came two acolytes
with lighted candles. Following these
were the Rev. Father Thomas Mckee
Brown, rector Of the church, and sixteen
boys of the vested choir. The service at
each OF the fourteen stations was the
same, with the exception of a short line
from the ritual explanatory of the sig
nl6cance OF the position in which the
Saviour was shown.
AS the procession reached each station
congregation and acolytes knelt while
the priest, standing, intoned the invoca
ton. Then as he also knelt the Lords
Prayer and "Hail, Mary" were repeated
in unison, with the sign of the cross.
AS the procession moved to the next
station the congregation stood and Joined
in singing 'sStabat Mater" the clear So
prano of one little chorister rising above
ali others. It was solemn service, and
in many parts of the church women wept
silently.
After the last station was visited the
priest knelt in silent prayer on the altar,
then, followed by the acolytes, passed
into the vestry, from which their voices
came floating into the church, the last
Amen" ending the service.
The stations in the church OF st. Mary
the Virgin are duplicates of the new ones
in st. Patrick's Cathedral, and were
made by the same firm in Holland.
They are of the stone composition
known as Carton pierre. The tint is
cream, with gold ornament, and the
figures are in full relief, with natural
landscape background. Similar services
will be held on Friday evenings during
Lent.

made over to Engl
OF course, during such q period e.
struggle and bloc shed the lines wsle {
not always aharply drawn, and il was dit 81 4
icuit to say which side was most e
blame for the atrocities, although it was
never difficult to decide as to the perse-
cution OF Catholics by the English gov
eminent being the cause Of the rebellion.
The rebellion was brought to an endin
1649, at the time of the commonwealth
under Oliver Cromwell. It was supposed
the rebellion being at an end, that the
Catholic religion would be protected, or
at least tolerated.
Cromwell started out we'll. He ordered
the English soldiers to refrain from vio-
lence and pillage, but. on the other hand,
q thousand persons who had taken refuge
in the church were put to death. and
other wholesale slaughters were INDUCED
in, until It seemed as it the Irish people
would he blotted out.
Agriculture received severe check.
the cattle and the produce Of the farmers
were seized and the people grew desti-
tute and desperate.
Even after the settlement brought
about by Cromwell severe restrictions
were put upon Catholics, and enactments
passed declaring large numbers of the
landholders and others guilty of treason
and punishable by oonfscation.
At the restoration in 1860, when Charles
II. came to the throne, some things were
done of better nature, but Charles did
not undo the acts Of Cromwell, while
confscation was confirmed. At that
time land ownership in Ireland had been
reversed, the Professionals holding at least
four.fifths of the best land, which had
formerly been held by the Catholics.
In spite, however, of the fearful con-
fiscation of land, affairs in Ireland began
| slightly to improve. There was no fur
thor rebelli. n until the latter part of 1898.
The lecturer then spoke OF the social
| and political condition OF Ireland during
the eighteenth century, the passing OF
the penal code by the Irish parliament,
which was actually under control OF the
English government, Of the persecution
effected by the penal code directed by q
| minority against majority, of the pen
| slties to which Catholics were subjected
for all sorts OF trivial offences under the
| code. all Of which had in view the re-
ducing of the people to condition OF
absolute poverty.
Then the pr: lessor spoke of the in
famous commercial legislation, which
was fatal in it's effect upon the country,
bringing abiect ruin in it's train.
In rapid review OF Irish history, the
lecturer brought his hearers to the time
Of George LIE, when the outbreak Of
| the American revolution awakened the
people of Ireland to keen sense Of their
wrongs and turn in Irish affairs was
brought about, notably by an indepeud-
ent legislature, since which time there
had been growth. and progress of .
marked character.
