There are four companies of women
in Maceo's army, according to dis
patch from Cuba. 1t was bad day
for the cause of Spain in Cuba when
the first pretty native senorita girded
up her skirts, seized a machete and
went to the front. And it was like
wise an extremely unlucky day for
aptain-General Weyler when the
news was published in this country
that the Cuban beauties were enlisting
for the war. The women, it is said,
prefer the known dangers of the field
to the unknown dangers of Spanish
''mercy"in the forts.

The following from contributor to
the Pike County Journal shows the
sense of justice that prevails in that
locality:
"It is my private and confidential
opinion that they ought to hang old
Taylor Delk, the Old lady, the kids and
the yard dog, as we'll as that honey of a
son-in-laW, Allen. They ought to give
the cat turpentine, and if it don't ex-
hibit any signs of restlessness then
give it few jerks and send it across
the river"

right to pillow up any road passing

have an equal right, and they exercise

SOMETHING w80Se FINANCIALLY.

Judging from the statement just is
sued by the treasury department. Civ
ing the imports and exports for the
past eleven months, there is something
materially wrong in the way finances
are being handled.
During the past eleven months we
have exported $815,971 ,764 of merchan-
disc, and imported 1928, 260,747. Thus
the excess of exports over imports has
been $92 ,O17.
While this is the case we have shipp-
ed out in the same time sos, 1894 $50 of
gold coin, and only $50, 1888, 524 has been
shipped to US. Thus in the past eleven
months we have lost $74, sos $40 of gold
coin.
At this rate we will soon be without
any gold coin in this country.
But it is not gold alone we are ship
ping out of the country. OF silver we
have shipped out $50 ,5l5, 178, and but
$11 1929, $50 has been shipped in, Thus
we have gone short $43,585,518 of
silver.
Though our exports of merchandise
are greater. than our imports we seem
to be rapidly losing our coin of both
gold and silver. The treasury admins
tration sits silently by and sees our
coin going out at this rate without rails
inga hand.
In the gold which has beeen shipped
in is included that brought from abroad
by the Morgan syndicate to pay for
bonds. AS only $50, 1888 ,524 all told has
been brought in for eleven months
past, it would seem that the Morgan
syndicate did not get all the gold from
abroad, as they promised.

The Oldest Priest.
Many In St. Mary's Named After Him.

Published by REQUEST
Rev. Peter Havermans, pastor
OF st. Mary's Church, Troy, N. Y.
who, is probably the oldest priest in
America. celebrated the ninetieth
anniversary of his birth on March
23. A cold kept him IN his room
that day, and he was unable to re-
ceive the many persons who called
to pay him their respects and con-
graduate. Father Havermans has
BesRs. lie 1G has ever lEg sasht Sr atgyt9Ss
man, and the prosperity of the
Catholic Church to-day in Troy is
in large measure due to his zeal and
untiring labor.
Father llavermans went to Troy
fifty five years ago, and, almost
from the day he set his foot in the
place, has taken a prominent part
in its affairs, not only il the up
building of the Catholic Church,
but with the civic life of the city as
well. When he went to that city in
1871 at the earnest solicitation OF
Bishop Hughes of Albany he was
made the pastor of st. Peters
Church, the only Catholic Church
in Troy. His first signal success
was the paying off of the ten-thou-
sand dollar debt on the edifice.
At that time there were only 1900
communicates of the Catholic faith;
to-day there are in the city 40, OOO'
with 30 priests, and Q Catholic
Churches. st. Mary's has 5000
communicates, it being the largest
in the city.
Father Havermans was born in
the Province of North Brabaut,
Holland March 90, 1906. He re-
ceived his education in the common
schools of his native place, and
through the tutorship of the Rev.
John Beyserveld, assistant pastor
to Father Havermans' uncle. La
ter, he studied at Thurnhourt, in
the school Of DIR. De Neff, aud in
the academy of that city. When
seventeen years of age he was able
to enter the seminary at Hoeven,
where he pursued the study of
philosophy for one year and the
scriptures for four years. lie was
ordained priest at Client, June 6,
1880, by Bishop Won de Velde, and
soon afterward came to America,
proceeding direct to Norfolk, Va.
Afterward he became a student in
Georgetown College, ID. c., where
he learned English. In st. Mary's
County, Md, he labored for ten
years, and then went TO Troy.
When he came to New York State
the young priest thought seriously
of returning to his native land, be-
lieying his work in the New World
completed. He soon began to show
the results of his labors in Troy by
embarrassing congregation and wi
ping out of the debt, not only on st.
Mars's Church. but on the school
