AN EX-PRIEsT AS AN EXPERT

nnnity. The presumption that the
bigots are interested in the outcome Of
the case is strengthened by the fact
that benefit performance under the
auspices of the Knights of Malta, was
given In st. Paul last week by dram
attic company. The secret organiza-
tion above named is closely affiliated
with the Orange lodges and A. p. A
councils. The proceeds of the enter
tainment will undoubtedly be used to
pay Attorney Butts and expert wit
ncsses like Rudolph.
This peripatetic fellow has filled tho
public eye as an A. p. A. propaganlst
for several years. He was formerly a
priest in the Cleveland diocese. but fell
from grace and was unfrocked Like
Slattery, Chiniquy and others of his
tribe. his knowledge of Catholicity has
been utilized by the A. p. A. to the dis
advantage of the church which elected
them for misconduct. The way of
these transgressors has been hard
Though Rudolph boasts of being quite
linguist. the master of nine Ian
quages, his education has been of little
pecuniary benefit to him. He has been
on the "shaughraun" since he ceased to
be priest in good standing. For time

"a rose will smell as sweet if called
by any other NAME" quoth Lord Bacon.
Nobody disputes the truth of the state
ment. even though it may have emanat-
ed from the Bard of Avon. But we shall
not argue the authorship of the Shaks-
pearean plays just now. We are going
to say few words about the A. p. A. S.
They have changed their name but smell
as sweet as ever under their new appel
lations. They still retain the name Of
Friends when in council. In Kansas
City they are known as ''Amoreans.
In New Orleans they are Sons OF
Adam" and in St. Paul they are knights
Of Malta" The original name they have
changed but the members preserve their
ignorance and sectarian bigotry as much
as ever under other cognomens. Pleas,
make note of it.

The Orangemen of Canada have gor

The Orangemen of Canada have gone
back on the ex-priests. In Kingston,
Ont, on a recent occasion only seven in
dividuals went to hear Rev. J. w. De-
laney, "a convert from the Catholic
priesthood" though the admission fee
to his lecture was fixed at fifteen cents
His subject was: "Our ballot in The
hands Of Rome" He postponed the lee
ture until the next evening on account
of the small audience, when he addressed
twenty men and boys. The hall cost
him $40 and he took in only 81. He
has consequently formed a mighty poor
opinion of the Queens subjects in Kings
ton, and will lecture there no more.

Prof. Goodwin Smith does not think
that the so-caled Dark Ages were quite
80 dark as they have been represented
by certain writer's. He SAYS: "Illlmc
and Robertson have long been CONSIGNED
to disgrace for their want of acr.lratc
erudition, especially in relation to tho
Middle Ages, which to them are merely
the Dark Ages; while to the mcdiac-
valist OF our day they appear to be .h.
special ages of light" The Toronto
professor must have been reading Matt
lands work, Or perhaps he has run across
Emerson's address at Harvard in which
the Sage Of Concord said The dark
ness OF the Middle Ages arises from
our want of information, and not from
the absence of intelligence that distin
guished them. Human thought was
never more active, aad never produced
greater results in any period of the
world"

Canon McLarney, of the Protestant
Episcopal cathedral at Banaghcr Ire
land, says that ''St. Brcndan, the found
err of my church." discovered America
800 years before Columbus. He says
the cathedral of Cloafert in which St.
Brendan is buried has existed as Il place
OF worship for 1,340 years. and that
during that time it was burned six
times and plundered thrice. Has il ever
struck Canon McLarney that the his
toric cathedral in which he oificiates
was stolen from the Catholics by tho
founders Of the Established Church Of
England? My church," indeed. That
bangs Banagher. How can the canon
conscientiously enter the pulpit of this
ancient Catholic cathedral and take for
the text of his sermon the words, Thou
Shalt Not Steal?" Canon McLarney
ought to keep quiet about St. Brendan.

TIE ALl-PERYADING CELT.

ternational weekly called "Litcrature.'

the llarpers of New York, and is as
antlrish as anything VIC have seen

editor, the Cells have not cut much Of

Of Ireland and Scotland are very much

supposed to have been a Celt. perhaps

was of Celtic and Norman origin.

The Redmonites have abandoned the
idea OF contesting the election of the
Tory Campbell in the Stephens Green
division of Dublin, despite the fact that
there is abundant evidence that their
candidate, Count Plunkett. was defeated
by fraudulent voting. Had a Dillonite
carried the seat by such illegal methods,
the boys of Wexford and their adher-
ents would try to GUST him as they did
in Meath. But the fact is, and it cannot
be gainsaid, there is but slight difference
between the Redmondites and the Union
lists. They have been in cahoots for the
past seven years. ever since the death

Legend of Famous Apple Tree.

On the old homestead farm of Peter
Turner, in Monroe. N. Y, there is an
apple tree knotted and gnarled with
age, but bearing every year an abun-
dance of fruit of variety seen no
where else in Orange County nor per-
haps in the country. The apple is
about the size of a winter pippin, and
has like flavor. 1t is golden in color,
and speckled with crimson spots which
penetrate the blood-red fruit to the
core. This apple is called the Indian
Princess"
Tradition gives it the following ro-
mantle origin: When the Indians were
in possession of Ramapo Valley one of
their villages was located where the
Turner farm is situated. The daughter
of the chief was loved by a warrior.
ahd as the old chief did not favor the
suit the maiden met her lover in secret.
When her father discovered this the
lovers fed to escape his wrath but
were oyertaken by the chief, who bade
his daughter return to the wigwam.
This she refused to do, and stepped to
her lovers side, at which the chief was
so incensed that he drew his bow and
sent an arrow to her heart. She ex-
pired on the spot, where a wild apple
tree was sprouting. and her life's blood
saturated its roots of the young tree.
Such is the story that has been
handed down from generation to gen.
GRAFTON. The old tree in Peter Tur-
ner's orchard is a lineal descendant of
the original 'Indian Princess" and the
last of it's line.
