FATHER M'CORRY TELLS
THE STORY BEAUTIFUL"
LECTURES FOR THE BENEFIT
OF ST. BRENDAN'S.
Stereopticon Views Are Used to Illus
trate His Numerous
Topics.

The lecture delivered yesterday for the
benefit of st. Brendan's Church by Father
MaeCorry of Old st. Mary's was as great
a success as ever lecture could be. The
oratory of the brilliant young priest was
as eloquent as his subject was beautiful,
and he held the rapt attention of his au-
dience for the better part of two hours.
He was introduced by Father Nugent of
st. Brendan's.
The lecture consisted of telling the old
old story of the Christ life in newer
way-the dressing. of the Story Beau
tifu' in a new. fresh garb. The repro
sermon in itself-his Christ is World $
Christ" The coloring was chaste and
delicate throughout-in every case a
In some instances the stereopticon pro-
jections were exquisite, the "F'light Into
Egypt" and THE Rich Young Man" had
everything but the throb of life. Christ
in Gethsemane" brought an involuntary
burst of reverent admiration from the
lips of every one who beheld ii. II have
seen the original of that 'Gethsemane,' "
said the speaker simply, and l do not
look at it for half an hour and live"
Throughout the lecture the WOrdpaint-
ing of Father MacCorry, his descriptions
of scenery, social customs, episodes in the
life of the Man of Sorrows" WED in bril-
liancy and color with the pictures on the
screen.
A moral lesson artfully drawn was
affixed to nearly every slide as 1t ap-
lude, accompaniment and occasional by
Miss Giorgiani was strikingly appropriate
and faultless in execution.
Altogether no man or woman whose
soul has not been gnawed away by self
iShneSs and sin could have gone out after
hearing this telling of the STORY Beau

which made the strongest impression upon the So
clety. In notable passage Mr.. Tompkins said: "A
passenger once fell overheard from Mississippi
River steamboat at point where the river about
two miles wide and looked as though it might be a
mile deep: The couldn't swim, and naturally
very much frightened He was foundering about and
seemed in imminent danger of drowning. The pilot
from the first kept shouting to him, Stand up, and
when he finally did make him understand and the
man stood up he found that the water was not over
knee deep Many of Our troubles very much like
the troubles of this man. If we knew the surround
ings, or could in way find just what to do, we
would be able to escape sea of trouble by simply
standing up. The purpose of my talk to-day will be
to show that the life-saving thing for the cotton
farmer is the cotton factory"
That is indeed the true way for the South to save
her civilization. By providing work for her people
all the year round through the establishment Of fac
tories, by gaining markets through the means OF a
liberal policy toward our merchant marine and the
establishment of finances on a safe basis, the
South will pass easily over the difficulties in her
path.

RAILWAY DEVELOPMENTS.

/ G" TATIST1CS OF railways in the United States
H. \ issued by the Interstate Commerce Commits
- sion for the year 1893 embody considerable
number OF tables significant OF the economy OF rail-
way transportation brought about by recent improve
ments in cars and locomotives.
The aggregate railways OF the country amounted on
June 80, 1893, to total of I863o6 miles, being an
increase for the year OF 1867 miles. The increase was
distributed uniformly the Union that only
six States showed construction for the year in ex
cess of miles, these being Arkansas, California,
Louisiana Missouri, New York and Wisconsin.
Notwithstanding this increase of nearly 1000 miles
of railway, the number of freight locomotives in use
increased by only 22o while the number of passenger
locomotives diminished by 61. Taking all loco
motives including those used in the service OF the
companies we'll those used for freight and pas
senger service the increase over the previous year
was but 248
The total number of reported for the year was
I,326,I74 being an increase of 286o4 compared
with the previous year. classification of the
shows that the number employed for the passenger
service decreased by 81, while the freight service
showed increase OF 1900, the remainder of the
increase being cars used for the service OF the COM
panies.
1t is pointed in the report that these facts sug
gest that there has been greater expansion in freight
than IN passenger traffic, and 1t is added The
number OF cars leased also shows decrease of 1904
as compared with the previous year, and the cor
responding figures for the years from 1904 to 18oS
inclusive, indicate that this decline conforms to an
established tendency. Whether this tendency is in
cident to a period marked by a relative decrease
in railway construction, or whether it indicates a
change of the financial policy OF railway corpora
tions, cannot be safely determined from data at
hand"
Certain other statistics given in the report are in
teresting in. this connection. From table showing
the relation of and locomotives mileage it ap-
pears that in 1894 there 72S in the service
for every 100 miles of road operated, while in 1893
there-Sere but 7I8 Computed for the United States
as whole it appears that an average Of I343oo6 pas
senger miles to be credited to each passenger
locomotive, and that 5,53o4o8 ton miles are to be
credited to each freight locomotive. "In both cases.
says the report ''the work OF locomotives shows
considerable increase as compared with the previous
year"
All these statistics tend to show the increased
economy OF railway transportation due to improved
locomotives and consequent enlargement OF the
carrying capacity of the cars Since nearly 1000 ad-
ditional miles of railway be operated with but
little addition in the way of cars and locomotives and
men to handle them it would seem there might be
reduction in railway without injury to the COM
panies.

THE BARK AURE0LA
HAS BEEN CONDEMNED
Supervising Inspector Ber -ingham
Refuses to Allow Her to Receive
Certificate to Sail the Seas.

The bark Aureola has been condemned
by Supervising Inspector John Berming-
ham and certificate of inspection has
been denied her on the ground that she Is
rotten. This is the first instance in which
a vessel has been condemned by the local
inspectors in this State.
The Aureola was built at Warren, r, l..
in 1863, and did good service in her time
but the inspectors have decreed that she
is dangerous to be at large on the high
seas. United States Inspector Captain
Marcucci recently reported her condition
to United States Local Inspectors Cap
tains Bolles and Bulger. they ordered
that certain repairs should be made upon
her. From this decision and order the
agent for the vessel, appealed to the
Supervising Inspector. In his opinion he
says: MY impression is that We're she
opened out for q more thorough inspec-
tion she would be found too rotten to JUS
tify the expenditure necessary to pass
the inspection for the certificate"

What Some of the California Boys
Think

No more guard duty, picket and drill,
No kitchen police and fatigue.
We've cleaned up barracks, carted out
swill,
We've tramped it for many league;
We've slept in shelter tent, hovel and
trench
While the rain soaked through and
through;
Starved with scant rations, sick at their
stencil,
We've cursed till the air was blue.
But now, that at last we are home once
more,
Have laid aside rifle and kit
VIII we seek again fame on a foreign
shore?
