How Joseph Jefferson Pre-.
serves His Good Health
and Youth,


Joseph Jefferson will have reached
the end of 70 years of life IL he lives
until February 20 of next year, and
there is NO reason to believe he will
not He says he feels more active,
that mis- health rs better and his enjoy
ment Of life greater than they have
oeen m years past. This is easy to be-
lleve after one has seen him join in
the dances OF RIP Van Wrinkle" and
caleb Plummer" and take part in the
minuet of LEND Me Five Shlllings"
I-e attributes 1t al Ito the careful life
heh as always led and to the methodl-
cal manner of his existence now
Nearly all his life has been spent in
and about the theater, and even If his
age did not entitle him to veneration
his conduct must. Not a breath of
scandal has ever attached to his name
None of the vices that are to be found
in the life of that Bohemia behind the
curtains has ever been mentioned with
the name OF Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson
goes out rarely and sees few interview
ers. He is troubled by deafness, and on
t-e stage his cues are taken principal
ly from the actions rather than the
words of his associates. c. B. Jeffer-
son, son of the theater's grand old
man, speaking of his father said:
"He takes the utmost care of him
self. After h e theater he invariably
takes light lunch and Immediately
re..res. In the afternoon he always
sleeps, generally for two hours. He
paints a great deal, even when on a
tour, and though he is extremely mod
est as to his achievements in that
field of art yet he has received fiabter-
ing notices and has a number Of his
paintings on exhibition in Washing
ton, d. c., tbs week He carries his
outnt with him, and though he has
done no painting in Pittsburg this
week, 1 am certain that before the
week is out he will go to work at
sometning. We are glad to find him
SO active this season, for last year. at
the time we were in Pittsburg, we felt
that we were going ito lose him. 1t
was an attack of pneumonia, and
think nothing but his will power
pulled him through. Old as he is,
fatner would take something new out
if he thought the public would accept
it, but they want all the old favorltes
with which the name is associated.
When father finally leaves the stage,
l don't think the public will want his
sons in the same plays, for the cry to-
day is for novelty. l have, however,
hopes of getting something in which
the three of them-'Will,' Joe and
'Tom'-will be able to appear. Father
mas never made a farewell tour and
never will. His season lasts only 13
weeks. We have eight weeks now and
then he will go to Florida until April,
after which he will play a season of
five weeks. He says he will keep it up
If he has to confine himself to a sea-
son of one week. i don't know when
this will be, for in the summer we go
hunting, and father can tire me out
walking. ."-Pittsburg Times.

An Infamous SIander ExpIc d
ed.

The American Herald, one of the
leading Catholic papers of New York,
in a recent issue disposes of in vigor-
Gus fashion the infamous Democratic
slander upon the American army, that
our soldiers had despoiled and desc
Grated churches in the Philippines
The story was put out for the manifest
purpose of prejudicing Catholic voters
against the war, but it was such an in
suit to every man who respects the
American boys in blue as the repre-
.sentatives of law-abldlng America that
it has weakened instead of strength
ening the democratic cause. The
American Herald says;
I'VE have taken no little pains to
find cut the truth about the rumored
desecration of Catholic churches in the
Philippines, and we have discovered
that they are all calumnies and lies.
TAe Rev. Father Reaney, Catholic
chaplain on Dewey's flagship, had ev-
cry means of knowing whether our
soldiers were the vile wretches the op-
ponents of the administration have
represented them to be, and he de-
clares that no church was desecrated
by our soldiers. In an address de-
livered at the Catholic club, New
York, Father Reaney said that the
American soldiers serving in the Phil
ippines had been unjustly accused OF
vandalism, of rufIlanism and of desc
Grating sacred things. On his honor
as a priest he could say that no such
offense had been committed by the
American soldiers. On the other hand
American soldiers had driven out men
who sought to desecrate churches and
chapels. The most worldly use to
which American soldiers had put
churches in tie Philippines had been
as hospitals and asylums for the weak
and needy.
at is true that churches have been
used as hospitals and as barracks; bul
Monsignor Martinelli, the apostolic
delegate to this country, truly says:
There can be no legitimate com.
plain, owe rthe occupancy of churche!
by troops in time of war. According
to the canons Oh the church we do no
hold that such quartering forms what
| ua oo11 dasaaratio,,
archbishop Chapelle, apostolic del.
egate to tie Philippines, whose busi-
neess it is to know the truth about
the church in the philippines indg-
nant.y denies that any churches have
been desecrated. He says:
81 see that it is said that the object
of my Visit to me Whitehouse on Sat
urday was to protest against the loot
ing and desecration of the churches in
the Philippines. This was not the
case. AS to the looting and desecrat-
ing of these churches, am Informed
by person whose word l cannot
doubt that this looting was not done
by our american soldiers, but by the
insurgents and Chinese.

American Catholic Church Is
Violently Attacked by
Canon DelaSsuS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May "a Washington
special to the Herald says: Catholic
church authorities of this city have re-
Gently received a book written by
Canon Delassus of the cathedral in
Cambria, France, entitled The Con-
spiracy Against Christianity" in which
a violent attack is made on the Ameri-
can Catholic church The writer, who
is we'll known in literary circles as the
editor of the Semaine Religieuse, an
influential Catholic publication. states
that Dreyfus has received his moral
support from the United States.
The American church by itself has
appointed a mission to teach all nations
religious liberation, which is in reality
only religious license, Pere Delassus
says, and has found many imitators in
France. From this unhappy influence
such evils as the Jewish conspiracy to
obtain domination over the Christian
world have gained abnormal strength.
Archbishop Ireland, DR.. Zahm, the
Catholic scientists of Notre Dame and
the Paulist order are termed a reproach
of the modern Catholic church.
Our attitude toward Spain is made
the subject or anotner ScatnlnS crltl-
cism. This book bears the imprima-
teur of the Archbishop of Cambria,
and in the preface it is stated that the
articles contained in the volume ap-
peared originally in the Semaine Re
ligieuse, and that they now appear in
book form by special request of the
Metropolitan of Cambria.
The Washington churchmen are
quite indignant over this latest display
of hostility on the part of certain
of the French clergy. Many copies of
the book. together with favorable re-
views of it, have been sent to prom
inent Catholic professors in this city.
The most enthusiastic review of Pere
Delassus' work is from Rev. Charles
Magnien, whose book on the life of
Father Hecker called forth the Pope's
letter on "AmericaniSm."
