Says Fr. Hudson in the Ave Maria
The world is full OF afraid-of-thcr- -shad
ow men; and there are any number OF
Catholics among them. These arc often
the best men othcrwisc-pious, charita-
bic, faithful to the obligations of their
religion. This excessive timidity, or
supincncss, on the part OF Catholics, ac-
counts, to a great extent, for the frc-
1ucncy OF attacks on the Church, the
widespread ignorance OF her teachings,
the low standard Of politics, and numer-
Gus evils.

dispatch from Norfolk says: If rumor
that gained circulation here yesterday
is correct, the close relations hitherto
existing between the Atlantic Coast
Line system and the Southern Railway
may be altered by the Southern
building new line. The rumor given
publicity in the afternoon papers was
to the effect that the proposed railroad
from Snow Hill to Pantego, N. c., is
being backed by the Southern Railway
1t is said that it is their purpose to ex-
tend this proposed road to some point
on their system, probably 10 Goldsboro,
making through line of its own to its
deep-water terminus st Norfolk. At
present the Southern is paying the At
lautic Coast Line large sum for priv
Iege of using the tracks of the latter
from Selma to Norfolk. Southern of.
fcials here discreGit the rumor.

A WoMAN's TERRIBLE TRIAL-Mrs.
Bertha Victorson, who Tuesday night
dislocated her jaw while screaming for
aid for her husband, who had just TAX
en- poison, is in q precarious condition
at her home in Brooklyn. While the
dead body of her husband lies in one
room she is utterly Frustrated in an
other. Her friends, who are in con.
slant attendance, have already noticed
that her hair, which was jet black
Tuesday, is turning gray. There was
no reason that her husband, Nathan,
should have killed himself, except
that he was out of work. In her
presence he swallowed dose of poison.
She realized that he was dying, that his
death would be matter of only few
moments unless help came. She ran
to her neighbors and with her jaws
locked open tried to explain. But they
could not understand, for she could not
speak. Agony, despair, misery, all the
torture that woman could suffer,
were blended on her countenance. At
last she seized one man and dragged
him to her home and pointed to the
PROSTATE form of her husband. Then
cid was summoned, but it was too late.
Nathan Victorson was dead.
