Pray for Priests Who are Dead.

When you hear OF the death OF
priest, do you think Of pouring forth a
prayer to the throne OF God for the re-
pose of his soul? He had charge OF
your souls and for them he is response
bic before God. He was TO teach you
your duties to God, to your aeighbors
and to yourselves, and by this means to
guard you and strengthen you against
temptation; he was to offer for you that
great sacrifice which is the source Of all
Gods blessings; he was to heal your
sosls when wounded by sin. In the
tribunal Of penancc he was your judge
and physician, and when he pronounced
the words of pardon he took your sins
upon himself, for he became responsible
Tor your dispositions, of which he was the
Judge. What awful responsibility! IT
he committed faults in the discharge OF
these duties it was on your account.
Pray fos him.

Cardinal vaughan's Pluck.

A true story illustrative of the pluck
of Cardinal Vaughan in his younger
days is told in the Rev. Bernard Wards
History OF St. Edmund's College" "
The future cardinal was driving in a
dog cart along a lonely road which
leads from Hertford to Ware. Sud
denly a man sprang out from the hedge
and, covering Father Vaughan with a
horse pistol, commanded him 10 stand
and deliver. But the sturdy cleric had
no intention of being "held up" in this
manner He jumped down and went
for his assailant with the butt end Of his
whip. There was tussle for some min
utes, which ended in Father Vaughan
getting possession of the pistol, and in
the a. footpad securing the horse
and trap and driving off at
full speed down the road in the
direction OF Ware. Father Vaughan
followed on foot, endeavoring to take
pot shots at the mans rapidly retreating
figure with the horse pistol, which
proved on examination to be unloaded.
However, when he reached Ware rail-
way station he found his turnout safe
and sound in charge of a porter. But
the thief had made good his escape to
London by a train which he had caught
just in time.

st. Patrick Born In Spain.

Where was ST. Patrick born? The
claimants for the honor of his BIRTH
place have been almost as numerous as
in the case of Homer. Opinion seemed
to have settled that to Scotland belonged
the honor The learned pastor of Lima
vady, Very Rev. Edward O'Brien,
bringing his classical learning to bear
upon the documents in which St. Patrick
tells his own story, starts new theory
in the current issue OF The Irish Ecclesi-
astical Record. He contends that the
theory as to Scotland is based upon the
misintcrpretations, and even the mang-
lings, of the scholiasts, and that the
natural reading OF the documents points
to Spain. est. Patrick was born in En-
poria, or at least was dwelling there,
when he was made captive; that En-
poria is on the Clyde (thc Clodeanus),
and on the Gulf Of Rosas (Rhoda), a
gulf of the Thyrrene (Torrean) Sea, the
Mare Infernum OF the Romans, as op-
posed to the Adriatic, the Mare Supe-
rum. His grandfather was a Rresbyter;
that is, member OF the supreme coun.
Gil; his father was dccurio. The city
OF which he was decurio was Vicus, an
episcopal see.. 1t was on the river Bann-
(Alba), Aven (Fluvia), in the territory
of Tiburne, formerly Indigetes." The
arguments for the theory are most CO.
gent, and are certain to lead to an inter-
esting discussion among archaeologists
and historians.

R5s;!sy 5a tss y. s:s m Thomas ,7t,s2si Mss5s
Gsdn'ra BY paralysis xsoa at IT, friend
After his return home anothe. attack
supervened, and he succumbed in Lon
don Oct ID, 1917. He was buried at
Paddington, but his remains were in
1884 brought to Ireland and reinterred
at Glasnevin.
There are hundreds of specimens of
his wit, which, if collected, would fill
large volume. Here is one which gives
good idea of his humor: Upon one
occasion, dining, on circuit, with the
Munster Bar, where judges and advo-
Gates sat at the same table, the notorious
and infamous Lord Norbury was
among the guests. Curran asked leave
to help his lordsllip to some picked
tongue. The judge politely declined it,
saying he did not like picked tongue,
but if it had been hung he would try it,
"My Lord" replied Curran, 'if Your
Lordship will only try it, twill be hung
to a certainty!"
"Never did eloquence appear in so
many ludicrous FORMS" says Sir Jonah
Darlington, speaking of Curran's elo-
quence, cor so many affecting modula-
tions, as in that gifted parsonage
Every quality which could form a popu-
lar orator was combined in him; as if
Nature had taken some splendid attri-
butte from all former orators to embel-
lish and decorate her favorite On ordi-
nary occasions his language was copi-
Gus, and frequently eloquent. On great
occasions the variety and luxuriance Of
his elocution were quiet, unrivaled, SOL
emn, ludicrous, dramatic, argumenta-
tive, humorous, sublime; in irony, in
vincible; in pathos, overwhelming. Wit
relieved the monotony of narrative. He
commanded alternately the tear and the
laugh. From the commencement of his
life to its close he was the uncompro-
missing advocate of his country" "The
richness of his Irish imagination was ex-
laustless," writes Lord Byron. II have
heard that man speak more poetry than
I have ever seen written, though l saw
him seldom and but occasionally"

assassin.

GRAIN SHOVELERS WIN
Announcement of an Agreement Fa-
vOrable to Them.
BISHOP QUIGLEY'S PART.
Buffalo News Says He VIII Have the
Naming of a General Super
intendent to Look After
the Sh0velinG.

Buffalo, May II. - Ex-Congressman
Mahany addressed the grain shovelers
at a meeting and informed them that an
agreement had been reached and that
they had won a victory. After the
speaking, $500 shovelers left the hall
and lined up on each side of the street
to receive Bishop Quiglsy. He was re-
oeived with hearty cheers.
The Evening News says:
After consultation the leaders of the
grain shovelers have decided to advise
the men to accept an agreement, In
brief, as follows:
All control of the grain shoveling at
this port shall hereafter be lodged in
the hands of an inspector or general
superintendent to be named by Bishop
Quigley. His pay shall come from the
Lake Carriers association and in no
way be a charge upon the shovelers.
They are to receive $1.S5 per 1000 BUSH
els.
The general superintendent shall have
absolute control of the hiring and dis
charging of men and bosses and paying
them and, in fact, possess absolute au-
thority over the shoveling of grain.
The contractor will receive his cents
per 1000 bushels to the end of the sea-
son, when his contract expires. The
agreement also provides that in case Of
differences between the shovelers and
lake carriers board of three arbi
traitors should settle the difficulty.
This is said to be practically the terms
offered by the Lake Carriers associa-
ton

NO CANADIAN AGREEMENT.
Grave Fea,s That High Commissfon's
work VIII BE Futile.

work VIII BE Futile.
Washington, May II. - The gravest
apprehension is felt lest the negota-
tons OF the Anglo American joint high
commission appointed to frame treaty
between the United states and Canada
may not result in an agreement This
feeling is so strong that report was
circulated Tue-day that deliberations
of the commission would not be conttn-
ued. There is no authority, however,
for saying that the commission will not
r@assembe in ottawa in August, ac-
Cording to the plan arranged at the time
Of the adjournment in Washington last
February.
1t is apparent that the state depart
ment expects no successful result from
this meeting A good deal of irritation
is felt on account of the failure Of the
Dominion government to agree to the
ablishment of a modus vivend on the
Alaskan boundary question, and the
feeling is that If Canada is unwilling to
consent to such an arrangement the
fact does not auSur well for the success
of the continued negotiations for a per-
manent settlement of the Alaskan dis
pute.
The state and treasury departments
have been a good deal stirred up, too,
on account of the recent action of the
Ontario provincial legislature in prohib
iting the expectation of logs to the
United States especially as the legisla-
ton was made retroactive.
The Dominion government had the
power to disapprove this legislation
within a certain limit Of time, but did
not do it, As the lurGber dispute was,
next to the boundary question, the
greatest obstacle to the success of
the joint commissions negotiations
last winter the WASHINGTON officers are
net encouraged by the unfriendly act of
Ontario which was virtually approved
by the Ottawa administration.
