JAPANESE PRAYER BAGS.
Strange Evidences of Idoiatry Found in .

Strange Evidences of Idolatry Found in .
Lot of Coolies.
The immigration inspectors ut San
Francisco examined a lot of japanese
coolies few days ago and found that
each one had strung about his neck a
kamisama or praying bag. These bags
contain prayers written on silk or stout
paper and are specially addressed to
the possessor's household god.
The Japs pay their Buddhist aud
Shinto priests from l to Q cents foi
these prayers, which serve the double
purpose of being lucky charms as well
as prayers, says the San Francisco Call.
The priests bless the charm upon receipt
of the cash. The possessor prays by
sliding the little pouch up and down
the strings and saying something SINH
lar to "These are my sentiments" He
is very particular that these prayer
bags and charms shall not be profaned
by the touch of a Christian forefnger
and resists the deputy's efforts to find
letters near the little sacred pouch
which reposes on the stomach of the
faithful. For this reason the intelli-
gent Jap does not carry letters near the
bag. When the Jap is particularly
anxious to have his god answer his
prayer he removes the cover from the

ARCHBISHOP WILLIAMS.
He Has Been . Roman Catholic Priest for
Half q Century.

He Has Been . Roman Catholic Priest for
Half q Century.
The greatest ecclesiastical demonstra-
ton which has taken place in Boston
in many years was the recent celebra-
ton of the fiftieth anniversary Of
Archbishop John Joseph Williams
entry into the priesthood. 1t was cele-
brated by golden jubilee. The event
was notable for the impressive pom
tifical ceremonies in the Cathedral of
the Holy Cross, and in the presence of
the highest prelates of the Catholic
church in America.
Archbishop Williams was born Of
Irish parents in Boston, April 81, 1922,
and began his primary education in tho
public schools. The Catholic bishop
finally sent him to the Sulpician SEM
mary at Montreal. He was graduated
in 1s41, and went to the Seminary of
st. Sulpice in Paris, where, four years
later, he completed bis studies for the
priesthood and received holy orders
from Mgr. Affre, the archbishop of
Paris. On returning to Boston he
became assistant at the small cathedral
then existing, and after ten years was
made rector Of the cathedral. He was
appointed vicar general in 1859, and was

top of the pouch and prays with the
paper in his hands.
Still another evidence of Japanese
superstition is shown by the lucky
stones they nearly all (professed Chris
tians as well) carry in their pockets. In
Japan the women place locks of their
hair and the men place smooth stones
the size of waluuts at the feet of their
idols. After certain time these locks
of hair and the stones become sacred
and are either carried in their gar
ments or worn suspended around their
necks as charms to protect the wearer
from evil and harm. The japanese i'm
migrants wear and carry the prayer
bags and the sacred stones until they
reach the missions, when they are hid

from discovering these evidences OF

gineer that is draughting the plan Of
the suffrage battle.
Mrs. Gait is said to be eminently fit
ted for leader, being gifted with mag
netic presence, charming personality,
fearlessness where the good of the
cause is concerned, and her power of
making others believe in her. AS an
orator she has hardly a peer among
women, and, indeed, there are few men
who can equal her. She speaks extern
poraneously. Her voice is soft and full,
having remarkable carrying powers,
which, combined with natural elo-
quence, gives her the charm of holding
her audience enthralled.
This interesting young woman was
born in Ripon, Wis, receiving her edu-
cation at the state industrial college Of
Iowa, in which state she spent most of
her life, pursuing there the study of
law. During late years she has divided
her time between California and WASH
ington, her present home being in Ben
sonhurst-by-the-Sea. Her husbands
business at present requires her to re-
side near New York city.

In 1875 Pope Plus TX. made Boston a
metropolitan see, with Right Rev. DR..
Williams its first archbishop.
The history of the diocese of Boston,
says Leslie's Weekly, during the twen-
ty-nine years of Archbishop Williams
episcopate has been a record of un-
precedented Catholic progress in New
England, made with so little ostenta-
ton that it is hard to realize how rapid
and solid it has been: The two great
monuments of his episcopate are the
Cathedral Of the Holy Cross and st.
Johns Ecclesiastical seminary in the
Brighton district of Boston. The
cathedral is equaled In spaciousness
and beauty by few Of the Catholic
churches in this country, and sur
passed by none bat the cathedral Of
