ST. VALENTINES EVE.
The Day Which Is Popularity Sup
posed to Mark Springtime.
-
St. Valentines Eve!

St. Valentines Eyei
The time of the year when. according to
the good old poet, the Young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love-" and
when the proverbial Harry and 'Arriet,"
as well as their more fashionable brothers
and sisters, are supposed to tell of the
wounds of the winged demon of love by
exchanging cards or other remembrances
But ii is not springtime by a great deal
and that same little Cupid is trotting
around the country in a buffalo overcoat
just now, instead of appearing in his usual
fancy dress ball costume.
The postman will be waylaid tomorrow
by many a longing lover, who hopes to
learn of the loved ones preference by re-
turn mail.
The authorized Roman legends of the
Valentines, who formed q large and -four
ishing family, are somewhat conflicting
and perplexing One Valentinus presbyter
and martyr, after being thrown into chains
at the instance of Emperor Claudius mi
raculously healed the blind daughter of AS
terius a man employed to win him back to
idolatry. Hence, the blind god of love.
Later the saint himself was beaten with
clubs and beheaded on the Flamininas way
on February IA. Hence the day. Another
Valentinus, he of Interanina, made mi
raculous cure, and Is also commemorated
on the day mentioned.
The man, however, who said that st. Val
entine's Day marked the balmy springtime
ought to be in Washington now.
One thing more to remember, and that
is comic valentines are questionable. 1t
isn't considered the proper thing to show
your love for your friend the enemy by
sending him a libel. The humor is more
delicate this year, but the shaft of the wit
and the boy with bow and arrows will
probably reach as far.

MAINE DAY.
Chaplain Chidwick to Celebrate
Requiem Mass.

Requiem Mass.
One year ago nGxt Wednesday the
United States battleshp Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor and 260 officers and
men were launched into eternity
In the twelve months since that great
catastrophe the United States has waged
a foreign war. has been successful in ey-
cry battle, has amply avenged the martyrs
of the navy, has concluded peace and Sc
cured territories that place it among the
great imperial powers. Maine Day is to
be observed as the starting point in this
series of events.
The day will not be generally observed;
in fact, it needs little outward show to
bring back to the minds of the millions
that awful night in Havana harbor
The only service in commemoration OF
the day in Baltimore will be requiem
mass at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Of
which the Rev. John A. Chadwick, who
was chaplain Of the Maine at the time of
the explosion, will be the celebrant. This
mass will take place tomorrow morning
instead of Wednesday, owing to the ina
bility of Father Chadwick to get there on
the latter day. 1t Will begin at ga. m.
Father Chadwick is now stationed at
the navy yard in this city He will leave
for Baltimore tonight and will be the
guest of Rev. F. X. Brady, of Loyola Col

American members he will openly advocate
separation from the European centre.
He will, if necessary. use his influence to
gain Papal endorsement of this mode of
ending the controversy
The Jesuits are thus far winners in this
interesting struggle. II they succeed in
forcing the Christian Brothers to close
their schools for classics they will get
thousands of students and will regain all
their lost prestige in Catholic educational
affairs If they cause a division between
the central government of the Brothers
and the American branch they are still
winners, since such a faction cannot fail
to lessen the power of the Christian
schools. Bishop Byrne will soon return to
the United States, having failed in his
mission-that is, to obtain Papal interven-
tion in affairs of the Brothers in Amer
lea. All interest now centers in Archbish-
op ireland.

HAVANA, Aug. IO.-In an open letter

Maxine Gomez says he has remained
in Cuba to fulfill a great duty. Now
that exaggerated and mistaken notions
are current regarding the state OF Cuba,
he desires to explain the true situation.

dIateIy discounted as to defeat the pre-
else objects for which they are suggest
ed. It Is obvious, moreover. that the
certain prospect Of a heavy fan In
coinage would at once drive capital
from India. The policy Of opening the
mints at some future date, TO silver.
stands on different footing when urB-
ed by those who look forward to an In
ternational agreement and consider
that there 70 reasonable hope OF such
an agreement within a limited period.
Such persons aim directly at a staple
exchange between India and the United
Kingdom and advocate delay only In
order that an international agreement
may be reached.
With regard to this anticipation. we
confine ourselves here to stating that
the negotiations OF 1897, with France
ana the United States Of America,
having proved fruitless, no fresh prop
osals, so far as we are aware, have
been or are being made by any OF the
governments concerned.
