IRELAND AT ! ORLEANS.
American Prelate Will
Preach on Life of
Joan Of Arc.

Washington, April 2S.-The presence
of Archbishop Ireland in Europe at this
time, has led to efforts among leading
members of the diplomatic corps here
to have him preside at some notable
church occasion. AS a result, it is
learned that the archbishop will deliver
the principal discourse at the Joan of
Arc celebration on May at the old
French town of Orleans, which gave
the name of the Maid of Orleans to
the girl saint and soldier.
The exercises will have both a relig-
ious and national character, bringing
pilgrimages from all parts of Europe
and having the special benediction of
the pope. 1t was thought at first that
Archbishop Ireland would take this oc-
casion to correct the -pprehensions
which have arisen through Europe as
to '.Americanism as set forth in Fa-
ther Hecker's book The errors on this
subject are ascribed mainly to the mis-
translation of the book by a French
abbe, so that it was felt to be appro-
pirate that the correction and elHcida-
ton of true "Americanism" should be
made on this memorable church and ma
tional occasion.
Quite recently, however, the leading
church authorities in this country have
made known that Archbishop Ireland's
discourse would be confined strictly to
religious themes, dealing with the in
spired character of Joan of Arc. While
this may not give the discourse the sig
nificance at first expected, yet the be-
lief is expressed by those familiar with
the arrangements that the fervor and
patriotic impulses of Archbishop Ire
land may lead to some discussion of the
American theme which has been so
prominent in church affairs of late, and
in which he has been one Of the fore

His body held to the. tree only by the
chain at the thighs, lunged forward
thus escaping the flames which reared
and cracked about his feet. One of
the men nearest the burning negro
quickly ran up and, pushing him back
said, Get back there into the fire!"
and coupled the disjointed links of the
chain.
The road for a distance of half a
mile on each side of the burning negro
was black with conveyances and SIM
ply impossible. The crowd surround
ed the stake on all sides, but none of
those nearer than 100 feet of the CEN
tire were able to see what was going
on. Yell after yell went up and the
progress of the flames was commune
Gated to those in the rear by shouts
from the eye witnesses.
The torch was applied about half
past and at o'clock the body of Sam
Hose was limp and lifeless, his head
hanging to one side. The body was not
cut down. 1t was cut to pieces. The
crowd fought for places about the
smouldering tree and with knives Sc
cured such fragments Of his carcass as
did not fall tc pieces. The chain was
severed by hammers, the tree was
chopped down and such pieces of the
firewood as had not been burned were
carried away as souvenirs.

MEETING NETS $1,000.
St. Johns Parishioners
Contribute to New
Convent.

The parishioners of st. Johns attend
ed in goodly numbers last evening the
meeting called by their pastor, the Ri.
Rev. Mgr. Griffin, in the Institute build
ing and aided their beloved pastor in a
substantial manner in the accomplish
ing of his purpose of creating fund
for the erection of a suitable home for
the Sisters of Notre Dame on Vernon
street.
Funds in the neighborhood of $1,000
were collected at the meeting, which
makes the fund already on hand about
$12, 500. The pastor also received assur-
ances from the members of the parish
of their hearty good will and support
and their desire to see the accomplish
ing of his project. Another meeting of
the parishioners will be held in the near
future the date of the meeting to be
announced from the altar.
The meeting was called to order by
Monsignor Griffin who in a fsw words
explained its object. He called the par
ishioners' attention to the very press
ing need of the Sisters of Notre Dame
for new quarters and said they were
deserving of the best the parish could
dllOIQ " give Llltlll. Lie WOAh VI tlAC
erection of a suitable abode for the
sisters could not be attempted before a
sufficient fund was created and the pas
tor wished to have at least 100000 on
hand before the ground was broken.
Mgr Griffin related the purchasing of
the Owen Hagen estate at the corner
of Vernon street and Union avenue
which adjoins the convent property, for
the sum of $6500, which he stated was
g matter of investment as well as
needed increase of the convent property.
The property now pays a yearly rental
Of $3.50, which would be paying 10 per
cent on the principal.
He stated he wished to erect a build
ing that would serve the sisters as a
home for all time and did not intend to
build this year ard to be compelled to
build in future years again to accom-
modate the future needs of the sisters.
He intended to build a solid brick
masonry building which would be a
credit to the parish and the city and
one that the people of st. Johns could
point to with pride as a suitable home
for the sisters who are educating the
young girls Of the parish.
e. J. Mcmahon, Esq, who was pres
ent at the meeting, said that the pas
tors laudable work in the interest of
the sisters deserved all the encourage
ment that the parishioners could give
and urged the members of the parish
to follow their pastor and to lend all
the aid within their power.
Rev. M. T. O'Brien also spoke.
The members of the parish present
responded cheerfully and the willing
ness displayed by them showed that the
work of constructing the new home
would speedily commence. Mgr Griffin
announced later that nearly $1,000 had
been collected as a result of the two
meetings and hoped to see that sum
augmented to a considerable extent be-
fore next Sunday. He stated that he
had paid $500 on the brothers proper
ty, which is next to the rectory on
Temple street. The last payment has
reduced the mortgage on all the prop
erty on the north side of Temple street
to S30O0 The church rectory and insti-
tute are free from debt.

BAD CUT ON THE ARM.

Harry Adams, a variety actor at the
Gaiety Musee on Front street, acct
dentally run against a glass door in
the Windsor House on Front street
last night, and inflicted a bad wound
on his left arm. He came very near
bleeding to death, and but for the
timely assistance Of John Minon, night
clerk in Green's drug store, his cut
would have resulted badly. He lost at
least a quart of blood. The police am
bulance was called and he was taken
to the City Hospital.
