that you will search for in vain in Eng
land. 1t is only fair to remember that
the Catholic Church in Spain and in
South America, as in other lands, has
had to fulfill her divine mission in
chains, weakened on all sides by the
state, ii not actually ens!syed by its
laws"
Turning to the reproach OF "Verax"
that the Roman Catholic Church was
to be convicted OF partisanship against
Dreyfus, Cardinal Vaughan asks if this
is just. He continues:
"The Dreyfus case has been torn to
pieces, and all over the country has
divided members of the same Catholic
family. The bishops have endeavored
to calm the minds of men, but it is not
easy to allay panic. But belief in his
guilt has not been confined to the
French Catholics; ministry after min
istry, without shred of Catholicity in
its composition, was convinced OF his
guilt. If there has been passion on one
side, has there been no passion on the
other?
"If certain fiery organs Of the cheap
Catholic press in France have been un-
fortunately carried away by partisan
ship, do they stand alone in partisanship
in France or elsewhere? France has
been distracted for generations by polit-
ical turmoil, and is honey -combed by
unscrupulous secret societies, pledged
to despoil and destroy the Catholic
Church wherever they can Can we be
surprised, then, that single incident,
that the name and fate OF single case,
should precipitate convictions or fears
on one side or on the other? A single
spark may create conhagration,
France having been living under panic
for years; and it is not to be wondered
at if some men lose their heads in a
state of national panic"

IS IT MEAGHER'S CORPSE?
Finding of Petrifled Body In the
Missouri River.

1t is reported from Fort Benton,
Montana, that petrified body has been
found in the mud of the Missouri river
near Fort Benton, and it is, claimed
that this alleged fossil is the transmit
ed remains OF General Thomas Francis
Meagher, who was drowned near there
in 1867.
The story is not credited by wise per-
sons, who say that human flesh does
not become petrifed.
The story has caused comment be-
cause OF its connection with the name
OF General Meagher, the celebrated
Irish leader. Meaghcr was one OF the
leaders OF the Young Ireland party.
After escaping from the penal colony
in Tasmania he came to America. When
the war broke out he entered the Union
army, and soon rose to the rank OF
brigadicr- general He commanded the
Irish Brigade, and won distinction in
many of the bloodicst battles OF tho
war.
The deeds OF Meaghcr and his brig
ade at Fair Oaks, Malvern, Fredericks-
burg, Antictam, Charlottesville have
become historic. At the fierce battle
of Fredericksburg General Lee pitied
the devoted valor OF that heroic brig
ade, exclaiming wien he saw it sweep
ing up the slopes OF Mary's Heights
that 'it was pity to destroy such men. u
Dccimatcd at fredericksburg and All
tietam. the Irish Brigade, dying like the
Theban sacred band at Chacronea, was
annil1ilatcd at charlottesville, after
which as Meagher's brigade it disap-
pears from history.
At the conclusion OF the war General
Meagher was appointed by President
Johnson, secretary oil Montana, and
died by accidentally falling off steam
er in the Missouri, July I, 1867, while
acting governor OF that territory.

Irish Soldiers in the Transvaal.

In letter written by an Irish officer
in Pietermaritzburg two days before the
war began, that is, or October 9, and
received BY one OF the Oblate Mission
ary Fathers, the writer says: Father
Murray was giving the Dublins re-
treat Gin Ladysmith? when they were
taken away; he went with them. We
had the Manchcstcrs here on Sunday
about $50 Catholics in church. They
lett yesterday with a convoy for the
front. Father O'Donncll is going up
from here with Father Murray. There
is Catholic chaplain coming out with
Butler. Father Dclallc called on me to-
day. Father Barrett preached at the
soldiers mass on Sunday. The Bishop
is here; all we'll here What rush
there was sending up the Indian contin-
gent, train after train. 1t seems TO me
the largest percentage of them are
Irish."
Another Oblate missionary writes
IRON an outlying part Of the Natal vi
cariate: eve are going to have most
horrible war, and God only knows the
complications that VIC may see. The
native tribes may rise With the Beers
it will be war to the hilt. And there
are relations in opposing camps. Eng
land is very slow in sending out troops,
and when is it going to end? The feel
ing of hate and revenge won't die out
for many and many a year. Pray for
our missions"

AN INTERESTING SESSION
Association Will Make an Effort to Sc.
cure the Adoption OF the Certificate
System-Onicers Of the Organi-
zation Selected.

Missoula, Aug. 21.-The opening ses-
sion OF the convention of the members
of the Northwestern Funeral Directors
association this morning was an inter-
esting one and was well attended. The
undertakers who arrived yesterday and
the previous day were reinforced to-
day by several new arrivals. and now
nearly every city in the state is repre-
sented. AS yet none of the Anaconda
undertakers have arrived, but some of
them are expected tomorrow.
At the business meeting this morning
the following officers of the association
were elected: Joseph Richards, Butte,
president; s. M. Smith, Spokane, first
vice president: J. NJ. Lucy, Missoula,
second vice president; f. l.. Flaherty,
Helena, secretary: George S. Settler,
Billings, treasurer; Messrs. Saftly,
Duggan and Tachell were chosen IS a
committee on resolutions.
1t is the purpose of the organization
to include in its membership undertake
ers In all the northwestern states. At
present Washington. Idaho and Mon
tana are Represented. An effort is to
be made to have the same regulations
prescribed by the state board of health
as exists in Colorado, where the sys-
tenn is said to be model one Under
these rules nobody who is not thor
oughly competent can act as an under
taker. The railways refkse to receive
for shipment any body that is not ac-
companied by a certificate properly
signed and attested These certificates
are issued only to those who are reg
istered as skilled embalmers and under
takers. For the purpose of securing
such certificates the members of the
Northwestern association have engaged
Professor Hohenschuh as the lecturer
and instructor. This gentleman deliv-
cred two instructive addresses to-day
and will continue this work through
the three days of the session.

NEW WEED BURNER.
Rank Growth Destroyed by Means of Ig-
nited Oil.

Missoula, Aug. 21.-The railway COM
pany has been using a new weed burn
er on the Bitter Root branch for the
purpose of destroying the growth of
weeds and grass on the roadbed The
damp season has been productive of an
immense crop of weeds on the track
and this burner removes them with
ease and rapidity. 1t consists of a
large tank from which crude oil is
forced by high air pressure through
jets, which extend out over the track.
These jets are. ignited and the high
heat destroys all vegetable growth
completely. The machine did excel
lent work Saturday, but Sunday and
to-day have been too wet for effective
work. s.
When the car has been pushed over
a piece of track the ground that has
been subjected to the heat of the jet
is so hot that it is impossible to
touch it with the naked hand. The
weeds and grass are shriveled up and
killed. The machine works over two
or three miles of track an hour and
does the work more effectively than it
can be accomplished by hand.

Missoula, Aug. 21.-Sergeant Dan
Heyfron, late of Troop F, has returned
from the camp at the foot of Flathead
lake, where he has spent his vacation
He says that the camp was the finest
that he has ever seen, and he has seen
a good many. He is loud in his praises
of Will Murphy and Frank Worden
who laid out the camp after they had
selected the site. He is positive that
they know more about camps than the
whole war department, from the expe-
rience that he had at Camp Thomas.
He thinks that Montana is a better
place to camp than Tennessee, anyway,
or Georgia. either. The Flathead camp
was an ideal one. Its location and ar
rangements were perfect and there We're
no mosquitoes. A recommendation will
be forwarded at once to Washington
urging that the war department send
its alleged experts out to Montana to
take lessons in camp arrangement from
the young men here.
