ADnIrs HE'S A DEVIL.

Not in the history OF crime has there
been such a monster as Fl. III. Holmes.
who was recently convicted OF murder iii
Philadelphia. He is said to have written
confession of his crimes and admits
TO having committed 27 murders, none
of which he appears to regret except
those of bis own little son and the girl
Minnie Williams The case of his little
boy is too horrible to relate in anything
like detail. The child was mutilated in
cold blood.
Holmes says he was born with the
very devil in him and thinks that the
prince of darkness is the guiding genius
Of his destiny. He feels that he is hope
lessly doomed
Further he says he believes that he
is growing to resemble the devil and
that the bony parts of his head and face
are gradually assuming that elongated
shape SO pronounced in what Is called
the degenerate head and that the like
ness is now almost complete
He does not think the sataniesinfiuence
began to work in him until after he grad
uated from a medical college, when he
knew the easiest way to sever the thread
of life. But he would not have stopped
at the taking of 27 lives of his own ac-
cord had he not been prevented He
had planned to take the lives Of six 9TH
ers.
In consideration of the case of Holmes,
and of Harry Hayward, and of Durrant
and many others who have recently be-
come conspicuous by their atrocities, one
is apt to inquire if the world is not get
ting wiekeder and wiser-if that can be
called wisdom which produces wicked
ness. 1t brings us back to the teaching
that there is something else needed in
the Development of the human being
fhan mere knowledge of earthly things
that the moral principles must be de-
ye!oped equally as well as the cultivation
of science and art. Those abnormal
criminals mentioned had natural gifts
of mind and perhaps more than an or
binary degree OF cultivation, and vet this
cultivation did not prevent them from
descending into the utmost depths of
deprayity
Holmes and those of his class should
prove an argument for the cultivation of
the highest morality.

Will III Be WAR?


/ At last this government has spoken to
Spain saying that the president would
Ike to use his good Influences in behalf
of struggling Cuba and would like also to
kIlow what Spain is going to do about 1t.
e is thought that Spain aalay take q sen
si1ole view Of the matter astshe is resnind-
ed that 80 years ago the So me proposition
was made 10 her by this government and
at that time the SpaniardH promised to
DO better BY Cuba, but the3, didn't keep
their word Some slight cancellations
were made to the people iii the island
but they amounted to little and iin fact
were afterwards taken await. Should the
Spanish people refuse to do anything war
may result and the lighting Dons who
say they can whip all creation may have
a chance of showing their martial meltle
with Uncle Sam.
The fact is the Spaniards who read the
somewhat ancient history of their coun-
try imagine they are still l.Mhg in the
olden days. when Spain was 1,erhaps the
most powerful nation OF Europe and this
country was merely a collection Of weak
and dependent colonies. They not only
seem to have forgotten their cwn decay,
but have taken no note Of the proves
and material advancement Of this nation.
Spain, it is true, has quite d formidable
naval equipment at the present time. but
when the emergency comes she will find
that she needs something else tlkan gum
beats to carry on successful WAR with
US. She would stand in need of material
resources-money, men and other sup
plies-and besides she would find that all
her fighting would not be done son the
water
But It IS not necessary to indulge in
much speculation as to prospectst until
i y ascertained that war will realty take
place.

ONLY ONE.

With the breach in the Salvation shnay,
caused by the withdrawal OF Baslington
Booth and wife, who were displeased with
the orders given by General Booth. there
remains only one religious organization
that is international in It's scope and CHAR
acter, and that is the Roman Cath bic
Church. An examination of statistics Of
religious organizations reveals some int er-
esting facts concerning all non Roman
Catholic bodies III the United States. q Ms
the Wilmington News
The Methodist Church has the largest
number Of communicates. There are andlye
than five millions Of members Of that ~
ligous body, but they are divided anon q
seventeen branches, the regular Methodist
Eplscopals having the most numerous bod :
les; but this branch is divided into tgsll
church North and South The BaptisA;..
who have membership OF nearly foui.
millions, are divided into thirteen branches
The Lutherans-the third largest deaomipa-
tion-has seventeen distinct branches. ain
independent There are twelve branches,
OF the Presbyterians. and even the Mormoiisi
are divided into two bodies. The figures
quoted seem to show that the tendency Ia
this country Is to split into sects ana ID
demonstrate that no such tendency, how
ever, affects the Roman Catholic Cnurch.
More or less all nom Roman Catholic bodies
In other countries are similarly divided, al
though not to such an extent as in America.
Thepower and authority and the freedom
from scnisms tnat are>of any moment in The
Roman Catholic Church is an interesting
problem for the student of religious ,rgani-

England will pay no attention to what

THE IRISH LANGUAGE

The eighteenth annual report of the So

and statistics contained in it show conclu-
sively that despite all obstacles ..continu-
GUS and uniform success has up to the pres

The number Of pupils who presented
themselves for examination IN Irish III the,
schools Of the national board amounted to
1,131, as compared with ], 1,O51 ia 1894, ana
S31 in 1893. The number that passed
amounted to 706. as compared with GIG in
1894, and the number of schools in which
Irish was taught amounted to SO, as cosn-
pared with Sc in 1895. The report says:
Again the number of pnpils who passed
the intermediate examination in irish
amounted to SIS, as compared with $50 In
1894. aS9 in 1898, and 176 III 1892 The vast
majority Of the students, 449, who passed
the intermediate were pupils Of the Chris
tian Brothers schools The zeal and pat-
riotism of the Christian Brothers In the
promotion Of the Irish language deserves
the gratitude Of the nation. D.sinterested

running for mayor OF Chicago used to tell
his audiences varied kind OF stories re-
garding his nationality In an Irish dis
trict and before an Irish audience be i'm

was born in Connemara and that cen-

They don't mind Bayard
There IS a story told about Bayard
that once he had. posed as descendant
of 'Cheyalier Bayard, the gentleman who
wao is quoted as being sans peur and
sans reproche. At a state convention
held in Delaware, Bayartl's own state, a
well informed and courageous Celt, said
10 him, Senator Bayard was then

name was Pierre Tirrell, presumably

Milan, unmarried and without lawful is

scendants, they must place the bar sin
lister upon their escutcheon''
Of course, the proceedings of the CON
venticn after that were not quite SO IN
teresting to Mr.. Bayard as they were be-
fore but that is another story Atten-
tion is drawn to Mr.. Bayard because he
has recently become the subject of SO
much discussion in congress. He is
Democrat and Republicans delight in
abusing him. They seem to have forgot

SHIELDS AND LINCOLN.

On the front page Of this issue will be
found an interesting story Of General
James Shields-relating that he would
not accept the command OF the army Of
fcred to him by Lincoln because ii was
the intention Of the government to make
the successful outcome Of the war the
liberation of the slaves Ii tends to
point out the peculiar traits Of General
Shields and calls to mind another epi-
sode III the life of the man. When in
Springfield, ILL.,, he fell in love with the
same woman to whom Lincoln was pay
ing his addresses Mary Todd--and
whom the latter afterwards married. a
misunderstanding once occurred between
Lincoln and Shields, and the latter chal-
lenged the former to duel The whole
matter was most llldicrOus affair from
start to finish. Lincoln took IT good
naturedly but did not see his way out nf
it, as Shields was dreadfully in earnest.
They went to Missouri with their sec
onds. but no shot was fred and both
men came back to Springfield chatting
as gaily as lovers. Shields was the
laughing stock of the town. Mary Todd
was the indirect cause of the duel that
didn't take place and perhaps hurried
up the wedding between her and Lincoln.
This little affair shows how even q
great man can sometimes act very fool
ishly, Or, az is sometimes said, cannot
take joke.
