MAKES US TIRED"

winter is lingering in the lap Of
spring, Tin most shameful and disre-
putable fashion. The white haired
old libertine ought to get up, and
leave with hop. skip and jump; and
take his dirty sheet Of be-fouled
snow with him.
We have had enough of him.
We long to see the green grass and
the crocuses, and to hear the robin
and the wren again, and to behold once
more the blue sky and feel the warm

Come, great Sol, and warm the shiv-
ering sides Of our wretched mother,
the Earth. Come and bless all nature

beaten in most of these elections; and
that the first ripple of the coming

the small price paid for same is not a
very good thing to encourage develop

That Banking Bill.

Congressman Van Voorhis has re
ported bill to the house from the COM
mittee on banking and currency which
will be of great benefit to the smaller
towns of the country. 1t authorizes
the esta blishment of National banks
with capital of not less than $50, 900
in towns of not less than 1000 popula-
ton. Heretofore the minimum of capi.
tai allowed for National banks has
been $50 600. There has been grow
ing need and demand for bank issues,
as well as banking Accommodations in
small places where $50, 900 could not
readily be raised for banking purposes.
In the eastern and middle states
National banks are very plentiful, but
in the west and south they are decid-
edly scarce, owing largely to the fact
that the amount of capital required
puts them beyond the reach of many
communities.

THE BLESSING OF A BELL.
Only a Bishop or "A Priest Specially Dele
gated May Perform Ceremony.

gated May perform ceremony.
This description of a Catholic cere-
mony of. blessing bell is taken from
a private letter written by a New York
en- who is at present visiting little
fishing village in the south OF France
on the Mediterranean.
The baptism of a bell is an act much
more important than the baptism of a
child, it seems, and it cannot be con-
ferred except by bishop, or, if that is
impossible, by church dignitary in
vested with the proper power by a spe-
cial indult from Rome. Such was the
case in this instance, when the vicar
general of the bishop of Marseilles was
commissioned to perform the solemn
ceremony.
The bell, covered with its white bap-
tismal robe, ornamented with laces,
ribbons and flowers, stood in front of
the sanctuary and was raised three or
four feet from the floor. When bishop
is present he blesses on the spot the wa
ter and salt used. When he is not able
TO come he blesses them at tthe cathedral
and sends them in properly sealed ves-
sells.
The officiating priest and the deacon
and subdeacon wear the amis, alb and
stole. Seven psalms are chanted, be-
ginning with the "Miserere" and ending
with the "De Profundis." After this
begins the baptism with water special
ly blessed and called Gregorian water,
as it appears that the liturgy followed
was instituted by st. Gregory the
Great.
The bell is washed inside and out and
during the ceremony the theological
psalms, 145 and $50, are recited in
psalmody. Then comes the anointment
of the bell with the holy oil, while the
priest recites a beautiful prayer.-N.

ROE RANGED.
The Fellow who Told so Many Lies is at
Last Silent.

A dispatch from Napa, Cal, bearing
date uf January Is, says John koe,
alias Moore, was hanged at that place
Oh that date. 1t will be remembered
that Roe claimed to have been raised
in Elk township, Noble county, and to
have committed several murders in
this part of Ohio during his younger
days.
The crime for which he suffered
death was the murder of Mrs. John l..
Greenwood on Feb 8, 1891. His com
panion in crime, Carl Schmidt, is un-
dergoing life sentence at San Quen-
tin. Roe and Schmidt went to the
Greenwood home, situated five miles
south of Napa, on the evening of the
9th of February. They found Mr..
Greenwood at home alone. They as
saulted him, bound and gagged him
and carried him into the house. While
they were doing so, Mrs Greenwood
drove into the yard, she having been
to neighbours after paper. She
walked onto the porch and was about
to open the door when one of them
stepped out. Mrs. Greenwood stepped
back quickly and fell from the porch,
Roe following. She was dragged on
to the porch and into the kitchen and
her hands and feet tied. Both she and
her hush were compelled to drink
several times from bottle which Roe
carried and which was afterwards,
from an examination of Mrs. Green
woods stomach, proven to be poison
bout IL o'clock Capt. Greenwood re-
covered consciousness, SO much of the
drug having been given him as to nau-
seate him. He managed to get to his
feet. Though his hands were still
tied behind his back, his first thought
was Of his wife and ne entered the
bed room to find her lying dead upon
the bed. He then went into the hall
and was again confronted by the tiends
who had in the meanwhile been to the
town and returned. They immediate
ly knocked him down and while he
was down, Roe shot him twice in the
head. Capt. Greenwood, though not
entirely unconscious, feigned death,
but again taking the precaution to
bind and gag him, the men made their
escape, taking Mrs. Greenwood's horse
and buggy. Schmidt, one of the men
arrested. was captured in Denver
couple of years ago He claims he
was forced to assist in the crime and
subsequent events bear him out. He
is in the insane ward at San Quentin.
