with he tributes of affection and devo-
tion lovingly rendered you by the her
archy. the religious orders, and the repre-
sentative Catholic societies.
Need we wonder that these expressions
of loyal devotion are SO universally mani
fest, v hen we reflect upon the sources
which imperceptibly prompt them.
Fifty years of labor and self-sacrifice
so years of faithful service ministering to
the spiritual needs of the people; so years
of patient study, Of unremitting toll, of
consta ntly increasing responsibilities and
patiently borne trials; 80 years earnestly
devoted to the strengthening of the
spiritual ediflee in which the care of saliva
ton of souls has been the constant in
spiration and solicitudc.
When attacks have been made upon our
faith ly thoughtless or designing men
who differ from us in religious creed, you
counscied forbearance and charity, and
the gospel of peace which you have thus
proclaimed by word and example, and
which. in turn, has been voiced by your
faithful clsrgy, is fruitful in the promise
it gives that this spirit Of brotherly love
cannot fail to be refrigerated by all fair
minded men, and prove the strongest
weapon to disarm prejudice and vindicate
the right.
This reaching, conservative and
peaceful influence has not only dominated
Catholic councils and been guiding in
spiration to Catholic thought and action
throughout the diocese, but has COM
mandtd the admiration of able and
thoughtful minds, irrespective of creed.

A isl,AL FOR VAsSAR.
The Emma Willard University Is Rapidly
 Widening It's Sphere.

On May 16 Russell Sage will formally present to the trustees the new building on the site of tho old Troy (N. Y.) Female seminary, to be known as Russell Sago hall, in the Emma Willard university. A bronze statue from the citizens of Troy, commemorative of Emma Willard, will be unveiled on the same day.
 Mrs. Russell Sage was a pupil at the Troy Female seminary in 1846-7. Mrs. Sage, as a girl of IF, came under tho direct influence of Mrs. Willard.
 When, three years ago, Mrs. Sage went to Troy to attend the dedication ceremonies of the school building erected by MT. Lewis E. Gurley on tho old college grounds, the plan of the present Sage hall was suggested to the architects.
 A number of the alumni of the Troy seminary, now residents of New York, formed an Emma Willard association, of which Mrs. Russell Sage has been .presi- dent for four years. The original idea of the association was simply to promote good fellowship and sociability between old classmates. When Mrs. Sage took hold of it, she endowed it with a meaning and q motive, and it has now at heart the higher education of women.
 His wife's personal interest in her old preceptress and her Identification with this association were motives ill interesting MT. Sage in the university.
 The Emma Willard university is to have endowed scholarships. Russell Sage hall 2 is built to accommodate 75 students. Apartments for g or 30, fully equipped fand furnished, will be ready for occupation sin September. It is probable that tho in- sstitution will compare with Vass;lr, Wellcs. ley and other womens colleges. New York Sun.

England and Venezuela is one thing. but
 dictating to one or the other in a peremptory way is a very different thing,
 unless 1t be a clear case of self-defense. There are isolated casual sentences in the doctrine which have had a more general interpretation and have exerted a con trolling and a most beneficent influence in the old world as well as in the new,
 but without accomplishing a change of that law of nations, under which one state can forcibly intervene in the affairs of another state or of two or more con tending states. The Monroe doctrine was and is immensely popular, but it's application should of course vary with the facts and situation which invoke it.

LABRADOR lCEBERGS.
Seen by Moonlight and In the Flash 0:
 the Aurora Borealis.


 The ''iron bound" coast of Labrador is guarded by groups of, islands-barren, hopeless and forlorn looking rocks, all the more dcsolatc in appearance for the miser ablo fishing huts O. 'tilts' that have been thrown together on them. Entering through some narrow passage between these islands, tho steamer anchors for tho night in rock bound basin, for it is too dangerous work to navigate the Labrador waters after dark. The narrow passages between the islands, both along the Lab rador and in the Newfoundland bays, arc called "tickles and aptly so for it seems as if the sea had reached out foamy fingers and ticklcd the rocky ribs of the coast un- til it split it's sides with grim, stormy laughter.
 Ono evening we found ono of these ticklcs nearly blocked by huge iceberg which had drifted into it and grounded We passed near enough to feel its chilling breath ard to have thrown biscuit on it. as tho sailors say We had hardly anchor ed in the harbor before WIG heard loud re- ports in rapid succession, like the firing of field artillery. Looking in tho direction from which they came, we saw above the heights that surrounded tho basin tho peak of the iceberg swaying slowly and majestically to and fro and finally disap- bearing, a peak of different shape rising from behind the height and taking i;A place.
 They say that an avalanche is sometimes so dclicatoly poised that the vibrations from shout or handclap will start it on its destructive course, and possibly the wash from cur steamer had disturbed tho iceberg's equilibrium. At night the moon rose, and tho northern lights throbbed ir the sky, so that the icebcrgs peak was q times bathed in silver, at times in clc;..' translucent crimson. It isn't often yot find combination of iceberg, moonligl. and northern lights, and feeling that might never again behold such an exquis ite scene l remained for hours on doc!- watching it.-Gustay Kobbe in St. Mel olas

A California Woman's Bicycle Club Have
 Donned BlOomers.
 Tho fashionable girls in Oakland, Cal, who ride tho wheel have at last frowned down Mrs Grundy. and regardless of all criticism have declared themselves in fla vor of boomers as the proper costume for women who indulge in tho delights of bi- cycling
 There are 500 of these fearless young women, and is they arc society girls in good and regular standing no doubt exists that the divided skirt will be the "go'' in Oakland.
 Feeling the necessity for strength in their somewhat audacious enterprise and realizing that in union there is strength, the girls have formed themselves into la- dies bicycle club. which will hereafter meet regularly at the Reliance club rooms.
 As for the boomers, which, by the way, are not to be used solely in the still watches of the night when timid maidens are being held on their machines by older members of the club, but in broad day light and noon," the style of garment is the 1895 pattern, and the material used is usually navy blue serge or heavy soft woolen goods in light shades to avoid showing the dust Stockings plain or striped, match tho costume, and tho jacket is the same pretty little outaway affair ad- vocated for women s wear in sporting cir cles.
 As soon as all the club costumes are fin ished tho girls will meet together at the Reliance club rooms, and thence they will sally forth in squads to meet the gaze of the curious public, valiantly showing the courage of their conviction and their club colors.
 Later in the season the club intends to visit fashionable resorts and astonish the natives from time to time by their unique attire

A Killing in South Carolina May Fan the

 Feud's Flames.
 Augusta, Ga, April 21.-There was a fight at a church near Jackson Station, $. C., in which two young men, Andy Forman and Tony Purse. were badly wounded and many more hurt There were perhaps forty shots fired by per- sons who entered into the scrap after 1t had been precipitated by one Green. The story of the feud which melted the fight goes back to time shortly after the fa- nous Rous bridge riot in which negro, Jesse Jade. was implicated.
 Green sent a posse to whip or kill him. A young man named Stallings informed Jade of the intention of the Whitecaps For this Stallngs left the country, and after being away about year returned Some days later Stallings was found dead in the road. The Greens were charged with knowing something about the Killing, as l.. M. Green, who is jus tice, refused to attend the coroner's in- quest
 Recently there have been long commit nications in the Aiken, s. C., papers in regard to the killing of Stallings The last was from w. Scott Tyler and in 1t he charged all sorts of crimes to Greens sons, from arson to murder. After sun day school this morning Purse made some remarks about Green. His son heard it and asked that it be repeated. Purse repeated the remark, whereupon Green pulled his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in Purses bowels. A gen. eral fusilade began. More trouble is ex- pected and everybody in the county Is go- ing heavily armed. Green will be killed when found. He has taken to the swamp. The trouble has been brewing for months

WHISPERS QUEER EYES.
Being a Paper Hanger, However, They
 Suit Him Very Well.

Suit Him Very Well.
 A remarkable case of visual dcformity is pcrplexing the oculists of Washington and Baltimore. It is said to be without @ parallel in this country and perhaps in the world. The subject is MT. Thomas Web ster of New Orleans, whose eyes are so pe- culiarly formed that they bafflc all rules of expression and conduct themselves as no well regulated optics should
 The idiosyIcrasies of MT. Wcbsters eyes consist in the. fact that tho pupil, instead of being in its normal place in tho cycball is in the lower portion, and in shape is of oblong form, extending downward toward the white of the eyeball.
 The result of this eccentric formation is that the subject, instead of looking direct ly ahead, as do those with ordinary every day eyes, has his angle of vision fixed about 45 degrees from a true tangent
 Now, this would strike most people as being most distressing inarmity, but in the case of Mir. Webster, professionally speaking 1t is in the nature of blessing. MT. Webster is paper hanger, and this pe- culiarity, in his business is rather of great assistance to him.
 Most paper hangers strain their necks in order to keep their eyes on their work,
  so with MT. Webster. He Is always look ing upward, while apparently looking in front of him, and hence has clear view of the wall without straining his eyes, tho angle of vision extending several feet above him.
 Mr. Webster inherited this peculiarity in his sight from his father. He had great deal of trouble in persuading tho oculists whom he consulted that his eyes were nat ural and that their peculiarity was not the result of disease.
 The best specialists were disposed to think that this peculiarity was the result of an operation, but when they examined the eye they found that the sight came from the eye at an angle of 45 degrees, looking upward instead of directly ahead. They were then forced to admit the verity of the freak which nature had taken in the growth of this organ.-New Orleans Times Democrat

A CONSUMPTIVB sPOTTER.
Pretending to Be Railroad Man. He Was
 "Deadhead

"Deadheaded."
 Not long ago Q tall, emaciated man travelled from New York almost to San Francisco without paying fare. He intro duced himself to tho conductor running west from New York as an ex-conductor and said he had very little money, but he hoped to get to California, where he be- licved his lifo could Do prolonged.
 He said he was suffering from consump- ton. and his appearance bore out the story. He showed knowledge of railway business and tho conductor believed his story Ho was "dcadheaded'' to the end of the first run, and tho first conductor was good enough to fix it" with tho con- ductor who came on to take his place. He reached Chicago and proceeded westward on ono of tho well known lines. Tho Chi cago conductor had been informed of the facts in tho case and consented to carry the sick man. even though it was viola tion of the rules.
 Within two weeks after he had been SC obliging ho received his peremptory dis charge Upon an investigation ho learned that every conductor who, out of tho good ness of his heart, helped along tho broken down railroad man had been discharged. The consumptive was "spotter."
 It is said that in his entiro journey from New York to San Francisco only ono con- ductor remained unaffected by his piteous story This was tho conductor on the last run, ending at San Francisco. and he alone retains job. Yet if tho traveller had been consumptive railroad man attempt ing to reach the bland climate of tho coast the conduct of the last conductor would have been condemned by % out of every 100 railway employees.
