ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.

Administers Confirmation and breaches on
Faith at Holy Rosary Church.
Last Sunday Archbishop ireland ccn'
armed class of $50 postulants at Holy
Rosary church. A special program was
prepared for the occasion. Solemn high
mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
Rloon,er, O. p, and the choir rendered
appropriate music. After the first Kos-
pel the Archbishop assembled the pulpit
and preached an impressive sermon on
Faith and the responsibilities OF Mem
bers of the Catholic Church. He said
in part:
Faith is the most precious gift that
God has given to us. It is that by which
He has revealed to us supernatural
truths, by which We are naited to Christ
and His Church. It is above all earthly
r,fss. and comes down from above to
lead us upward to God. 1t is the link
uniting us with the Omnipotent, and the
key that opens up to us the portals OF IN
finite bliss. We who are Christians have
received Christ's word, and united our
selves with Him. All the treasures OF
the incarnation and redemption are ours.
We are Catholics, members OF Chrlsts
own Church mot of any society fashioned
by men, but built by Christ. The Holy
3atholic Church is not thing OF yester-
day, but society OF 1900 years which
has shown throughout it's life, the de-
scent from Christ himself, and conse-
quently it brings to our minds the divine
truths. It brings to our souls the pre-
cious graces which Christ merited for y NC
in His passion and death. Those in tn the
faith are on the road to heaven. We
have at our disposal Gods strength and
we are navigating the seas in Christs
own ship Of state. No matter how f 1lIl
GUS the storm we have no fear. Let us
then be thankful to God and be proud l. q
this gift before men. Let US be oa lrl1
in practice not to forego the fruits a our ''l
faith. Faith indsed / is our victory and llcl

American Citizenship.

American Citizenship.
The Minneapolis Tribune OF Thursday
had the following editorial on Father
Cleary's address at DR.. Shutters church
the previous evening:
The vast and sympathetic audience
which packed the Church Of the Re.
deemer last night to listen to the able
address OF Rev. Father Cleary on "Amer'
lean Citizenship" bore eloquent testi.
mony to the trend of modern thought IN
the direction of mutual tolerance and re.
spect in matters of religious faith.
There were gathered Metho diets, Uni
tarians, Baptists, Catholics, Agnostics,
Presbyte rians, Theosophists, Episcopa'
lians. Spiritualists, Hebrews-every
shade of spiritual faith represented in
the city.
Gathered there in Universalist
church, these men and women OF widely
diverse beliefs but of one present intent,
listened in admiration to priest OF the
Catholic Church as he discoursed, with
the eloquence inspired by true patriot
ism, upon that greatest of themes, Amer
lean citizenship.
And these people had come not merely
to enjoy an intellectual feast, nor vet to
show that they were believers in the
brotherhood Of man. Their prime motive
was that sentiment which is one Of the
great essentials Of all religion--charity.
They had been invited by Rev. Dr.. Shut
ter, pastor of the Church OF thu Re
deemer, to assemble there in the cause
of the poor and needy. DR.. Shutter and
Father Cleary have accomplished a
threefold purpose by this great meeting.
First of all, they have given the people
Of Minneapolis an opportunity to exer-
else the greatest of virtues while at the
same time receiving the highest order OF
intellectual entertainment and instruc-
ton. Second, they have caused the
presentation of grand object lesson in
one of the cardinal principles of true in
tellectual nlightenment-respec for the
honest religious belief Of every one and
heartfelt fellowship in all good works,
regardless of creed Third, but of equal
Importance, they have presented to the
Minneapolis public an opportunity to
hear the principles of American citizen
ship expounded by scholarly patriot,
Father Cleary's theme,old as the coun-
try, afforded no opportunity for novel or
startling propositions. His eloquent
definition of the American citizen is as
old as the Declaration of Independence
and the constitution. 1t has been thrice
tested by fire and blood. But cid as the
theme, it cannot be brought to mind too
often, and few there he who can present
it in manner to stir the patriotic heart
more deeply than can Father Cleary.
His dis curse was Oh able exposition OF
the rights, duties a d limitations of
American citizenship; the separate func-
lions Of church and state; tbs inalienabla
right Of freedom of religious belief, and
the wiokedness Of any attempt to boy
colt, ostracize or prescribe man because
of his birth or belief.
An excellent synopsis Of the address
will be found elsewhere in this issue and
it will richly repay perusal.

Sorry He Fooled HIS wife

Many Torontonians have noticed of
late that prominent business man
who was absent from his store for two
or three weeks owing to illness, has
since walked Il little lame. More than
one person has asked George what
caused his lamcneSS, but without eic-
iting the facts. The cat leaked out of
the bag the other day, however.
About month ago the business
mans wife got the idea that she ought
to have Il revolver in the house. Tic
husband protested in vain. She WIS
dead set on having one and she got it.
The following night, after teasing his
wife about having something that size
would never use if it We're required, he
left the house saying he would return
in a few hours,
Shortly after the door closed behind
him his wife was attracted by the
sound of footsteps upstairs. Her first
impulse was to scream. Her second
to run next door and ask assistance.
Then she thought of the revolver. and
of her husbands laughing talnS r!i,t
she was afraid to handle it. Going to
the drawer she secured it. as the S,...,d

voice demanded to know who w:is

laugh and then saw the dim outline Of
Il man starting to descend.

as she pointed in the direction of til"
figure. There was one more step. u

with Il laundering crash and lay I'M

there was piercing scream. and when
some neighbOrS forced their way in the

A Tree of solid Agate.

A mining expert sent to invcStig ne
some Arizona properties for Denver
capitalists recently returned and rr-
ports the finding of Il most remarkable
natural bridge, formed by Il tree of
agatizcd wood, spanning Il canyon
forty-tive feet in width. The tree had
at some remote time fallen and be-
come imbc,ldcd in the silt of some
great inland sea or mighty overflow
The silt became in time sandstone,
and the wood gradually passed through
the stages of naturalization. until now
it is Il wonderful tree of solid agate.
In after years water washed and ate
away the sandstone until Il canyon
forty-tivc feet in width had been form
ed, the tiint-likc substance of the agd-
tizcd wood having resisted the cros.on
of the watcrflow Fifty feet or more
of the tree rests on one. side and can
be traced. but how far its other side
lies buried in the sandstone cannot be
determined without blasting away the
rock.
The trunk visible above the canyon
varies in size from four feet to three
feet in diameter. When the bark HIS

GENERAL ITEMS.
Cold Rri0Ip Riffs

During the bitter cold weather in
winter much suffering is thoughtlessly
inflicted on horses by putting cold
bride bits into their mouths. If the
person who does this will apply his
tongue to a piece Of iron on IL frosty
morning he will understand at once
what the suffering to the poor brutes
is. To slightly warm the bits before
putting them into the horses mouth
would require only small expenditure
of labor. This can be done by rubb-
ing them with blanket or other cloth
q moment or two if other means of
warming are rot at hand. The bene-
fetal results in the gentleness of the
animal will amply compensate it -

COUNTY NEWS.
y Reconsideration.

The Cumberland Times thinks
One of the wants which should be con-
splcuously advertised at this session of the
Legislature is law allowing the Judges of
the circuit courts of MARYLAND to appoint
official stenograpers for each circuit.
Another want is a repeal of that
portion of some election law which
compels the county to pay the ex-
penses Of municipal elections in Cum
berland
Later.-Come to think of it, however,
it makes little or no difference.
The county will have to pay them
anyhow.

A Bit OfGOOl News.

The publishers of the Columbian
Album, the wonderful Christmas gift
of the Pittsburg Times to its readers,
have volume of 224 views instead of
100 as originally intended. This will
necessitate an increase in the number
of parts from 10 to II. The additional
numbers will be furnished to readers
Of the Times at the same terms as the
first parts. namely six coupons and ten
cents for each part. With the last
part will be furnished complete index
and title page. Twenty thousand
copies of the Columbian Album are
beng sent out by the Times each week.
With the enlargement of the scope of
the work this number should be
doubled.

FEMININE FISH STORIES.
One Involves a Sagacious Dog, the Other
a Fight with n Salmon.


Fight with Salmon.
There are few larger drains upon
credulty than the dog stories which
turn upon extraordinary displays of
canine intelligence. OF course, IL fish
story is even worse. What apology
can be offered, therefore, for the intro
duction of a combination of the two?
The following anccdote, however. is
well vouched for:
A young lady started out not long
ago for a mornings fishing in Il Welsh
stream. She was accompanied by IL
retriever dog. highly trained in the Ac
complishment of bringing articles out
of the water. The young lady threw
out her line. and pursued her angling
with deep interest almost surpassed
by that evinced by the dog, In fact.

bered for Il moment, and. as luck
would have it, at that very instant
came big tug at the line.
The angler, startled, lost her hold on
the rod, which was at once dragged
under water by the fish attached to
the hook. Soon the end of the rod
made its appearance, however. and
the retriever. who had become intense
ly excited, Immediately jumped i'll and
difficult to bring to land than the walk
ing sticks to which he was accustomed,
but finally landed his prize. The fish
proved to be Il club, which gives Il
tremendous first pull but is then gen
orally done with, coming in like Il log.
A trout would have given the retriever
more trouble.
This little Welsh incident recalls the
story of another fair fisher who threw
her line many years ago in another

mcndous tusSle with salmon. The
fish was hooked in the morning. proba-

that hour after hour passed without

to the attendant to hold. and reinforced
her strength with Il hearty meal. Then
she returned to the fray and WAS
