message shows our foreign relations to
be in an admirable condition. An amend

suggested. Turkey is politely informed
that we will not tolerate the imprison-

"How ehall the Indians be educated ?"
asks United States Senator Kyle, OF
South Dakota, in q paper contributed by
him 70 the October North American Re-
view, and he answers it partly by saying:
Since the days Of Eliot, philanthropists
have done something towards educating
the Indians; though no definite plan
seems to have been adopted by the gov
eminent until of late years Indian
children were gathered together by mis-
siooaries for religious instruction. These
sectarian schools have demonstrated In
dian education and are equal to any
schools on the reservation today, both as
to instruction and methods employed to
develop pupils. The institutions are all
equipped with intelligent, self-sacrifcing
teachers, often better fitted for such
work than those furnished through the
government The difference bet1 ecu
the missionary teacher and the govern
ment employe is that the former is al
ways imbued with the honest belief that
an Indian can be both civilized and
Christianized."

Z IT will be news to great many Cath
olics to learn that the singing ct the
Veni Creator before the serm on Of high
mass is nst allowable. The Right Rev.
j. Jansen, bishop OF Belleville, ILL.,,
lately sent the following question to the
Sacred Congregation Of Rites in Rome:
.'Can the singing of one or two verses of
the hymn 'Veni Crea or be allowed?"
The project Of the Sacred Congregation,
Cardinal Ledowchowski, sent the follow
ing answer: mo; for the sermon alone
is permitted" The reason for this is
that the break in the continuity of the
Holy Sacrifice is permitted only for the
sermon.

A SAD TRAGEDY.

The nruel murder of Miss Catherine
Cling has saddened the hearts ana aeooe-
ed the sympathy of the entire community
An unusually unoffending girl has
apparently been made the victim OF a
trining ''blcod.' It is to be hoped thaf
the police have the right clue and that
speedy justice will be melted out to the
heartess wretch VINO in such coid.
blooded manner took the life OF defense
less girl. What the motive for the
crime was can only be surmised at this
time, out it appears to have been q
conspiracy against an transporting 'l1e
for the sake of the proceeds OF s1te
insurance policy. If such be the case
human words will not be able to express
the resentment of the human heart for
the man who took the life Of conh<ilng
woman for money consideration. 1t Is
to be hoped, Us time unrave's and makes
plain what is now all but mystery, no
facts will be found to compromise the
fair name Of Catherine Ging, whose
death now shields the rascal she trusted
1t is plain, however, that the dead girl,
like too many other girls, was more
imprudent than erring. She had learn
al to make friends OF we'll dressed idlers
whose only recommendation is their
smooth appearance and manners. The
manner in which the murderer met Miss
Cling on the nights OF the mysterious
rides and the complete concealment OF
al. his dealings with her, slows that the
action which resulted in mur,'er had
been carefully planned. It would not
be right at this time to charge the crime
to any one, but we cannot but thlnK
tha persons now in the clutches OF the
law know great deal more about the
the crime than they have SO far MADE
known. TO the girl who lost that which
is dearest to every human being no
retr;hution can, now be made, but to tue
community whose laws have been dis
reoar.7ed the murderer will be called
unon to answer for the result OF q
prot1igate life. It is pleasing in this sad
affair to speak of the high regard IN
which the murdered girl was held by
those who knew her and it is safe to say
tina, whatever misgivings the circum
stances of the case may have created IN
the minds Of those who did not know her
should be put aside. She was regular
attendant at the Church OF the Immacu-
late Conception, in which she rented
pew. The public will not rest until the
person who has so cruelty wronged her
shall have paid the penalty of his foul
deed with his worthless life.

THE DUBLIN MEETING.

It is indeed time that the Irish party
should cease quarreling il it hopes to re
tain the sympathy Of the world and the
financial aid which has been given it by
T~ishmen in she United States. The anx-
iety OF all friends Of Ireland has been
somewhat abated by the action taken at
the meeting of the Irish party III Dublin.
The meeting was presided over by Jus
tin Mccarthy, who made some state
ments which we have long fondly looked
for. He spoke in the interest of peace
and begged for harmony. 1t has been
painful and disappointing in the extreme
to those interested in Ireland, and who
have spoken, written and contributed for
the cause, to be compelled to witness q
senseless wrangling among those who
are entrusted with the struggle. The
trouble arose without any sufficient rea-
son. Ireland and Irish nationality all
over the world demand that indiscrete
leaders Law aside selfish motives. One of
the arguments used by the enemies of
Ireland has been and is, that the Irish
cannot agree among themselves and
should not be trusted with their own
affairs for that reason. It is such public
scandals as the one we now speak OF that
makes that argument formidable. Mr..
McC earthly says the fight must end OF the
Irish party become worse than useless

are unambiguons:

EVENING weddings, says Church Pro-
gress, are not Catholic in spirit. Cstho.
lies should be married at a nuptial mass
in the morning. It is too solemn and sa-
cred an event to admit of considerations
of fashion or of conventional conven-
fence. We regret to see the custom of
afternoon or evening weddings growing
with the evident intention OF making
them social events to the neglect of their
sacred character. Certainly no Catholic,
whose faith is paramount as it ought to
be with consistent Catholics, will enter
the holy state Of matrimony save under
the most solemn auspices of the Church,
and to miss the nuptial mass when pos
sible is to reject fruitful and special
graces

Tuesday afternoon at about 2 o'clock
a gentleman named Van Epps was driv-
ing along Fourth avenue south, and when
near Flour Exchange his horse was
stopped by James Sheridan, the man no.
torious in the Harris murder trial, who
held the animals head and began to
abuse Van Epps. Van Epps immedi.
ately jumped out OF the buggy and en-
gagged in fstic scuffe with Sheridan,
knocking him down and kicking him in
the face. Sheridan got up and began to
run away. Van Epps was about to re-
return to the buggy when he CHANGED to
look down at his side, and was Mortified
to find that in some way he had been
stabbed in the right side by Sheridan.
He bled profusely and was removed to
his home, where he rests easily, and his
wound is not considered dangerous.
Sheridan was arrested. He claims that
the quarrel grew out of little trade be-
tween himself and Van Epps Van Epps,
ne says, bought horse of him some
time ago, and promised to pay for the
same on certain date. He did not do
SO, nor has he since, and was intent upon
cheating Sheridan out OF His just dues.

take the horse wherever he could find il,

A GREAT deal of harping has been done
lately in the newspapers in regard to the
brutality of foot ball. It would appear
that systematic onslaught were being
made against the game in order to de-
stroy its popularity. Almost every at
tack made against the game is made by
persons who never played the game and
in most instances never saw q game
played. Many of the telegraphic reports
Of games are greatly exaggerated in or
der to attract attention and advertise.
No sport was ever more grossly misrep-
resented than foot ball. The following
from our esteemed contemporary, the
Catholic Union and Times, is an exam
pie Of editorial comment on the game:
"The Yale Harvard foot ball game was a
shining example Of pretense, ostentation,
vulgarity and brutality. Smuggling, kick
ing, vicious oaths, strained legs and
broken collar bones were features of an
affair which sensitive, cultured and high
bred young American women enthusi-
astically applauded. Good breeding was
very general at the game! Yet these
same damsels and their fond mammes
and asinine papas would affect to be
very much shocked at the doipgs of
John l.. Sullivan and the rest of the
professional sluggers. Where Is the diff
ference?" This is very unfair to foot
ball and the admirers of the sport and
no doubt the uufairness results from
Misrepresentation of the facts. The Yale
Harvard game was played November "a.
On November 20 the Harvard players,
except one, played in Philadelphia
against the University of Pennsylvania.
IT they had been so brutally mangled as
some newspapers would have it appear,
foot ball players must have wonderful re
cuperating powers to enable them to re-
cover SO soon. It was reported that
Murphy, one Of che Yale players, was in
serious danger Of death as result OF
thu game On November "a, yet Murphy
was very live corpse on December in
the Yale Princeton game at New York.
That there is some danger connected
with every manly sport cannot be doubt
ed. The sports especially dear to every
lover of manhood are those in which an
element Of risk is always present, but it
is folly to condema the sport because a
risk exists.
