yvardly conceived and most elumsily car

Home rule IS dead despite the frantic

A MORE SERIOUS MATTER
Heaven and Hell! as Destination
Didn't Better film.

In his last lecture at Yale divinity
school, Dr.. Watson told this story: Il was
travelling in railroad carriage. Sitting
near ME were an elderly gentleman and a
good, worthy man, who believed he had
the care of every human soul in mis- keen
ing. The worthy man leaned over to the
elderly man, who was a rugged type OF
John Bull, and asked him:
sc DO you know where you are going
to-?
:'SWhat' exclaimed the elderly gentle
man.
81 say, do you know where you are'
going to?' g..
=" Liverpool was the reply. e.
"tOh, I don't mean that exclaimed
the worthy man.
Didn't mean that" shouted the elder
ly gentleman, now thoroughly aroused.
If this is the Bradford express It must
be stopped I want to so to Liverpool
and with that he made dive for the bell
rope.
<'He probably would have reached it."
continued DR.: Watson, 'sand stopped the
train, had I not interviewed and told the
elderly man that he was On the train for
Liverpool. ..
t*'What did you mean, then?" inquired
the elderly gentleman rather sharply.
II simply wanted to ask you if you knew
whether you were going to heaven or to
hell was the reply
"'Oh, that's all right exclaimed the
elderly gentleman, apparently great re-
j:eved; but thought you were speaking
about a far more serious matter"

He Administered Confirmation in His
DYING Moments.

On the Sunday preceding Bishop Marty,s
departure from this world, q class OF CHI
area had been summoned for confirmation.
The ceremony had been arranged to take
place m a church nine miles distant from
ST. Cloud and accessible only by the com
try roads, The Bishop was urged and
begged not to subject himself to the in
cles11ency Of the weather and the rigorous
ride over the road But persisting that
the faithful must not ire disappointed, ne
firmly refused to POSTPONE the ceremony
He was dying man at the time: yet ne
gathered all his physical resources for one
more work for Gods glory, and he admin
istered the sacrament During the cere-
mcny the strength of his arm deserted
him and it became necessary for an attend
ant priest to support it, whilst the sanity
minister signed the fcreheads OF the chill
lren with the holy cbrism and with the
sign Of the cross. He had grown so en-
faebled thai he had to be carried from the
church to the rectory. That was his last
episcopal function. and a few days after he
died the death, OF martyr.

After Money.

1t is stated that John E. Redmond has
made arrangements TO visit New York.
about Nov. 20, ostensibIy on q lecture
tour. Mr.. Redmond proposes to- give, a
series Of lectures in New York, which evil
IDENTIFY means political speeches-:for Mr..
Redmond has never, in any sense, been a
lecturer, after which he will visit The prin-
cipal cities Of the United States. His first
oraton will be delivered at the American
Theater on Nov. 20, and will give an
account Of mis- fifteen years in parliament,
with sketches ct John Bright, Parnell. Dis
| raei, Gladstone and other notable men
with whom Mr.. Redmond has been brought
into contact during his political career.
Commenting upon this proposed visit, the
IrishAmer.can says:
1t is obvious that Mr.. Redmond's visit
to America, at the present time, is for no
other object than to collect the money
that he and his fsctionists need in order
to continue their evil work of perpetuating
discord and strife in the ranks of the. Irish
National party in Ireland. It is equally
obvious that--as he ought to be-he will
be sadly disappointed in the result Of his
mission, which should be marked by no
other result than complete failure.

Senator Jones issued the following state
taoent last night:
I have counted from the beginning as
the states upon which we relied for MI

15e votes and the states west OF the MIS-
souri,. with 81 votes, making a total Of III
/ have hoped we would carry Indiana.
Michigan and Minnesota. I believe We
carried every Southern state except Mary
land and we have carried al the Western
states heretofore counted on, which leaves
US, not counting Delaware, which l think
we have carried, and which have not
heretofore calculated on, 209 votes. One
vote we certainly have in Delaware and
l,rooobly three. But, counting only one
vore, which we have beyond doubt. it
leaves necessary to a choice IA votes.
Either Michigan or Indiana would give us
those fourteen VOTES. The reports re-
cejyed by us from Doth these states are
encouraging, ard leads LIS to believe that
while both states are close, that we nave
the better chance 10 win each and that we
may possibly carry both.
There can be Scarcely Il doubt of cur get
tins Indiana. Under these circurastan~
ces it seems to me that we are entirely
justified in claiming The election OF Mr.
Bryan, which do. And believe that the
temper Of the people is such that they Will
not allow their choice to be defeated by
tricks and fraud.
The statements made again ana again
in the city papers today that have given
up the contest and admitted Mr.. Bryan is
defeated indicate a. deliberate purpose on
the part Of the paners. as we'll as the Re
