LIBERTY NOT LICENSE.

In his recent letter concerning affairs
in this country Pope Leo says: "The
church has at all times been what ST.
Paul said of himself: 4 became all things
to all men that might save ALL In re-
gard to ways of living the church has
been accustomed to so yield that, the
divine principles of morals being left in
tact, she has never neglected to accom-
modate herself to the character and
genius of the nations which she EN-
braces. But in the present matter there
is great danger and manifest opposition
to Catholic doctrine and discipline in the
opposition of lovers of novelty that al
lowance should be granted the faithful,
each one to follow out more freely the
leading of his own mind and the trend
of his own proper activity. Such rea-
soning is evidently faulty. No one should
wish to depart from the infallible teach
ings authority of the church. The con-
founding of license with liberty, the
passion for discussing and pouring con-
tempt upon any possible subject, the
assumed right to hold what ever opinions
one pleases upon any subject and to set
them forth in print to the world, have so
wrapped minds in darkness that there is
now greater need of the church's teach
ing Office than ever before, lest people
become unmindful both of conscience
and of duty"

sell for 100 Mexican dollars. Hoosi is
another native cloth which is much en-
ployed in the dressmaking of the natives.
It is even finer than the pima cloth, and
is made from mixture of fine hemp
fiber and the pineapple plant.
Many of the more cultivated Tagalo
women are fine performers on various
musical instruments. The harp seems to
be the favorite. and have heard some
really fine music on this instrument.
Near the camp of the command to which
belong are several native shacks, and
frequently of an evening / have heard
the sweet notes of violin most beauti-
fully played, mingling with the songs of
the night birds, which are common in
this tropical land. determined one eve
ming to search out this unknown player,
and following the sounds l came at last
upon little native girl of about twelve
years, who, having been blind from birth,
had learned to use this instrument, pos
sibly as solace in her affection. She
seemed most happy in her music, and
seldom have enjoyed it more than when
listening to this poor little blind maiden
pouring forth her whole soul in sweetest
strains.
1t is not difficult matter for a Filipino
couple to set up housekeeping after mar
riage. The native shacks or bungalows,
are curious-looking affairs, built entirely
of bamboo, matched with banana leaves,
and invariably set up on stills of bamboo,
six or ten feet above the ground. The
interior of the house is divided into two
or three rooms, one of which is usually
reserved as a chapel or prayer room, for
therein is set up picture of the Virgin
and candle is invariably kept burning
in homage. The household goods of
these people are few. A grass mat serves
for bed; half dozen calabashes or
earthenware pots for cooking purposes
and for the storage of rainwater, and pos
sibly one or two pictures cut from some
illustrated paper, complete the furnishing
of Filipino's home. They invariably
keep children, pigs and at least three
dogs; but the most priced of all is the
plumed and petted fighting cock of the
Filipino. This bird is fed on the best,
has bamboo house for himself and is the
pride and boast of the whole family. This
passion for cock fighting is universe
among these people, and it is no unusual
sight to see Filipino on his way tC
church with game cock under his arm
expecting to fight in the churchyard after
service.
Smoking is a universal custom among
! the natives. Men, women and children
use tobacco in every form, and I have
seen a mother with her babe of two o
three years in her arms, smoking cigs
while the poor little one was sucking OF
a cigarette. Many of the young womei
do not smoke out of regard to their teeth

MARYLAND IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Irish Historical Society of Mary
land, most commendable organization,
has sent out the following circular, which
explains itself:
Dear Sir: Your attention is respect
fully called to the aims and objects of
the Irish Historical Society of Maryland
recently formed for the purpose princi-
pally of making inquiries into the career
of the Irish race in the State and of re-
cording and publishing such data as may
be secured 1t is believed by the pro-
moters of the society that considerable
interesting data of historical character
relative to the lives and work of Irishmen
and their descendants can be discovered
in the various localities of the State if
proper inquiry is made. The Irish race
has been identified with Maryland's his
tory since the earliest days of the colony
and has contributed its need toward the
development of the Commonwealth.
1--WE respectfully request that you am
nounce to your friends that all data in
the way of records or other matter and
suggestions as to courses of inquiry to be
pursued in your vicinity will be gladly
received by the society. Your personal
interest and cooperation in the work is
also solicited. Very truly yours,
I'D. ]. ScULLv. President,

them the employees wear the same uni
form. Every one is decorated in the
SAME rather snowy style. The prices are
all uniform and low.
All are lighted with electricity. This
is the unvaryiug rule. In many small
town this requires the expense of a
special lighting plant, but it is worth
the money. In such case the Upton
shop shines like a jewel beside its dingy
neighbors. 1t is all the better advertis-
ing. 1t is a nine days wonder at first
and distinction always.
! Sir Thomas Lipton's fortune is called
100000. 1t is only nineteen years
since he stood behind a counter waiting
on customers.
Last spring Upton formed a joint
stock company to take his London bust
ness. The equalization was fixed at
So, 500, 900, of which only $1,000, 900
were offered for sale. The stock was
subscribed for twenty-five times over
The same sum had been previously Of
fered by Hooley and refused. Upton is
his own promoter.
Upton may have been relieved of some
of his labors and responsibilities by the
change in his business. He is able to en-
JOY such leisure as comes to him. He is
of medium height, but so slender and
sinewy that he looks taller. He dresses
neatly, not wi the gaudy ostentation
of Barney Barnato. He is erect, ebert, a
quizzical smile ever fingers on his thin
lips, twinkle shines in his gray-blue
eyes. He can enjoy joke.
This man is a Democrat among mill
ionaires. He owns a beautiful country
place at Osidge-a palace our volatile
and explanatory ritish cousins call it
and here every summer he entertains his
own employees, brought hither on special
Upton trains from every part of the
kingdom.
When Sir Thomas Upton challenged,
i'll the name of the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club, for the Americas cup, there were
in Britain certain proud aristocrats who
sneered at him as not quite gentleman,
don't you know.
The first gentleman in Europe" came
to the defense for its first merchant. The
Prince of Wales and the Duke of York
showed Upton most friendly attentions.
The Princess of Wales sent him a dia-
mond scarfpin at Christmas i'll her graft
tude for his assistance with the jubilee
dinner. His coffee house gift was named
the Alexander Fund, by her permission,
and the Prince of Wales is sponsor for
the three trustees who, with Sir Thomas,
are to manage it.
There is no more sneering now.
The most extraordinary secrecy has
been insisted upon the planning and
construction of the Upton yacht. Her
metal parts have been made by Thorny-
croft, and shipped to Harlan & VOLTS
an Irish boat, and she will be sailed to
win.
"The Upton flag has never been hoist
ed in vain," says this bold sportsman.
He says he is prepared to "spend, if nee
essery, $3.50, 600 or 100000 to lift that
cup" The Shamrock is his sole prop
erty. No syndicate was formed to build
her.
Nor will there be any moan of unfair
play from Sir Thomas Upton if the
Shamrock should come across the line a
beaten boat. He is a sportsman as he
is merchant, neglecting nothing to win
success, and leaving the rest to fortune.
He will be the keenest competitor that
ever confronted American yachtsmen.
