and armies, which secured the final
triumph. Catholic Poland was represented
by Pulaski and Koscuisko. Catholic Spain
was the first country to send representa-
tive to the United States and thus ack-
nowledge them to be nation, and during
the struggle she contributed generously to
the American army and opened her ports
to the American marine. The names of
several Catholic warriors distinguished
for valor in American history were quoted,
and the speaker recalled the part taken by
Catholics in the War of the Rebellion. In
conclusion he said:
Our history in America, my friends, is one
we need not be ashamed Of it is noble and en-
couraging. Its more frequent study must
make US love this our country better and our
church not less.
In every department of American develop
ment Catholic minds and Catholic arms have
been felt We have given the Union warriors
ana statesmen in number and ability who can
Well bear comparison with those OF any
other creed. In science, in authorship, in
as in digging and delving and carrying the hod.
We can look history in the tace and putting
our hands upon any part OF the fabric of the
State, we can say with truth, This is partly
our work. / have not adduced these facts to
found on them any claim to National gratitude
at the present day. The Catholics in America
in this generation want no National gratitude.
We ask only fair play, equal rights and the
truth of history for the honor of our faith and
the instruction OF our children. Then with
God for our guide and our own labor for our
independence, we may defy the designs of
blgots and look as fearlessly TO the future as
proudly to the past

THE ROODOO GONE.
The st. Paul Will Be u Lucky Ship
Henceforth.


Henceforth.
The st. Paul has proved herself the most
remarkable sea-going vessel afioat. Now
that she has escaped safely from her third
disaster no harm can come to her or her
owners from references to episodes in her
career which might have sounded in an
unfriendly tone while she lay helpless on
the Jersey sands.
Flrst-The original attempt to launch her
was failure. Her second and successful
launching was on Friday. An old rigger
in the employ of the Cramps, on that oc-
casion, gloomily grumbled amid the hur-
rahs of the multitude: "She doesn't belong
to the International Navigation Company,
that ship don't, she belongs to Davy
Jones' locker"
Second-While lying in her New York
dock the head of one of her cylinders was
blown out and several men killed.
Third-She poked her nose into the State
OF New Jersey. Now all believers in super
stitions will agree that If three evils have
been successfully averted in succession the
object of the evil-eye is forever after free
from the threat of disaster. If the st.
Paul had broken up on the Long Branch
BAR the believers in her predestined i'll
fortune would have wisely shaken their
heads and said, Didn't l tell YOU so ?"
But her successful escape not only has
absolutely secured her future good fortune,
according to all rules of superstition, but
has proven her maritime marvel -&Phila-

There are two great objections to San Fran

tried during the remainder OF the present hs-
cal year
Mr. Davis of Davis Bros, another mer-
chant opposed to further private expendi--
lures when there is pubic money on hand
for the purpose, said:
Some people say do they, that there should
be no sprinkling unless the whole City can be
sprinkled? Do these same people also believe
that there should be no sweeping unless every
street in the City can be equally swept?
Down town the streets must be swept all day
long, while in some places in other parts OF
the City il is necessary to sweep only once a
week or less often. To sprinkle all the streets
every day would manifestly be impractlcable,
particularly where some OF them are so 1ttle
USED, and to sprinkle some OF them once
week or once month would not accomplish
the purpose.
The Merchants Association presented
petition yesterday to the Board OF Super
visors requesting that action be taken IN
the matter of letting out the sprlnKllng
contract. A detailed statement was also
made of the position maintained by the
association. 1t was also asserted that New

Answers Demanded to Questions Re-

In reply to a recent letter from the pen
OF the Rev. Father Yorke, State President
Hudelson of the a. P. A. says:
To the Editor of The Call-DEAR SIR: Having
concluded my analysis OF Rev. Father Eorke's S
communication OF the 18th inst, and having
eXemplified the fact that therein he, while pre-
tending 10 answer my questions, dodged the
issue in twelve separate instances, and having
logically proven from his comm unication
three propositions, viz:
First-The objects OF the A. P. A. are good and
consequently those OF its opponents, including
Second-Father Yorke's hostility TO the A. P. A.
is caused by his political sympathies
Third-Those who favor clean, honest politics
should support the A p. A, which Father y orke
opposes.

the absolute truth OF the statements contained
in them-haYing, ! say, Mr.. Editor, concluded
all this, ! at last have leisure TO consider the
little house of cards which Father Torke sub
sequently erected for me 10 demolish.
What pretty little house it is, What con-
summate skill was required to make those frag-

velous address Is 1t balanced upon that iimsy

must come, and its dawn is already observed
family shining above the horizon of liberty.
Among the charges brought forward by these
BRITISH and Scandinavian defenders OF Amer
| ican liberty, none are repeated more fre-
vlently than this, that Catholics are not and
cannot be loyal to the institutions OF this Re
public.
To show that this charge is false, that it is
without foundation, that it is Qike their other
cnarges) the emanation OF diseased minds, cor
rupt hearts and morbid imaginations, will be
TIE OBJECT OF this evening lecture.
The lecturer stated that the Catholic
church taught its adherepts to be loval
citizens, and that the history of America
showed that Catholics profited by her
teachings. "By her system of Christian
| education she so earnestly and persist
entity advocates she teaches her children
more loyalty to their country in one day
| than could be learned in lifetime from
the unclean lips of the whole menagerie OF
political preachers, Canadians, Orangemen
and Scandinavian bigots who are inces-
sanity screeching about patriotism they
never possessed and about battle flags they
would be too coWardly to defend" He
continued:
The Catholic church, realizing the fact that
religion and morality are necessary for the
preservation OF society and for the safeguard
OF the Republic. insists upon her children be-
ing instructed not only intellectually, but
morally as well. While she maintains that
both an intellectual and moral training are
necessary Tor perfect education. yet she con-
TENDS that OF the two the moral training is the
more essential. Thus, in teaching her children
TO be guided by the principles of religion and
morality, she teaches them at the same time
to be loyal and patriotic subjects. The more
religious and moral they are the more loyal
they viii be. The more love- reverence and
respect they have for Almighty God the more
they will have for him who, in the state, is
vested with his authority. Nor does she limit
her teaching 10 a general outline OF duty. On

Audience.

The fifth lecture of series given under
the auspices of the Young Mems Catholic
Union was delivered last evening to a
packed house in Metropolitan Hall. The
lecturer was Father McKinnion of Rio
Vista.
In calling the meeting to order Samuel
j. Haskins, grand secretary of the Young
Mems Union, explained why these lec-
lures were given. He said that the course
was intended to be educational and to
present Catholic truths. The purposes of
the union were described as benevolent

LEFT-HANDEDNESS,
A Peculiarly That Is Almost Impos-
sible to Overcome.


sible to Overcome.
One of the prevailing ideas about right
handedness is that it is merely matter
of training, and that left-handed indi.
viduals have become SO either from want
of care on the part of nurses and parents,
or from imitation of some older person.
In many children the preference for one
hand is shown from very early age--be-
fore the child has learned to handle any
thing but the very simplest toys, and,
therefore, before training can have
caused preference at all. More
than this, the experience OF left
handed persons is on record in whom
the popularity has been early noticed
and combated, but without the slightest
effect. In the case of one child, both
whose parents were left-handed we are
told: His mother, accordingly, watched
his early manifestations OF the same ten
dency, and employed every available
bound up or tied behind him; and this
was persevered in until it was feared that
the left arm had been permanently injured.
Yet all proved vain. The boy resumed the
use of the left hand as soon as the restraint
was removed"
1t must not be supposed that all persons,
whether right or left handed, have so
strong an instructive preference for one
hand as this. There are many degrees and
shades of right and left handedness in
adult life. A large number OF persons
seem to have had no strong natural
bias either way, and accordingly fall in
with the prevailing usage in all or nearly
all respects, and these seem to become
right handed by training and lmi-
tation. In some of them a trace
remains of their original indifference
in the shape of preference for the left
hand in some actions; it is not uncommon
to meet with people right-handed in all
other respects who yet use two-handeu
implements, such as an ak or cricket
bat, with the left hand next the business
end" after the manner usual with the left
handed. There is no doubt that among
those who have strong instructive pref
erence for one hand, the right-handed are
in large majority. The proportion they
bear to those rlght-handed by training
only is, and will probably remain, quite
bers' Journal.

YoRKE's RETREAT.

But before l get down to serious work de-
sire 10 call the attention of the readers of your
estimable paper 10 the mastery maneuver by
which Champion Yorke has abandoned his
first line OF defense.
y few weeks ago his guns were booming and
his charger pTancing along the proposition
that the A. P. A. q religious organization.
True, from the first, he weakened his defenses
since, in his noW-fsmous letter OF the 18th
inst, in answer TO my first question, he said:
know, however, that a secret political society
can never bring about pure politics.
Thus admitting that the a. P. A. is g "secret
political society and. by the way, that re-
minds me have not yet considered his objec-
tons to secrecy.
However, in spite OF his error, I did not ex-
pect him 10 change front quite so soon. Your
readers will take notice that now the burden
OF his lamentation is that the A. P. A. teaches
error.

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
| used and gives most general satisfaction.
