THE PRINCE oF PEACE.

Contributed Intermountain Catholic.)
What a beautiful name is this. which
the Church by Inspiration gave to Our
Savior. Jesus is indeed the Prince of
Peace. IBIS earthly life was lived in
the atmosphere of peace. He was al
ways ruled by one great. motive; He
ever sought to do the will of His
Father Hence His life was marked by
perfect peace. Whatever outward tu-
multi he might have to pass through on
account of the malignity of Satan and
the servants of Satan, within His soul
all was quiet and peace.
But chiefly Jesus Christ is the Prince
of Peace because he gives spiritual
peace to those who believe in His
Church. He is our peace, because,
through His bitter passion he has
wrought out our redemption. If we
trust in His Sacred Heart and rest on
His love, we shall, though our outward
life be one of trial and tumult, have
rest and peace in our souls.
Even at the approach of death the
devout Catholic has no fear; to him

MARY ANDERsoNs GIFT TO THE

Mary Anderson de Navarro, the IA
NOUS beauty and former actress, has
built monastery near her old home
At Louisville, Ky, and given it as an
Offering to the Catholic church.
The faithfulness of Mary Anderson
While on the stage to her church is well
known. She was as regular in her de-
votions as the strictest members of her
church, despite the distinctions of dra-
matte life.
The 'monasteTS which she mas lately
built is just across the Ohio river from
Louisville, in Indiana. eat New Albany.

The monastery building is a frame

chapel, where the priests say mass
every week day and sing mass and YES

Catholic churches, and over the taber-
nacle is a large picture of St. Francis.
on the left side of the ground floor are
the dining room and kitchen. On the

and living rooms of the priests and
brothers. Surrounding the building is

They have about forty acres under
cultivation and the rest of the land
which is tillable is rented out on shares
The brothers, besides doing the farm
work, take care of the house, do the
cooking, scrubbing and other work
necessary in household. Their wants
are few and are easily supplied. This is
a rugged country, and the farm is still
for the most part covered with virgin
forest and underbrush

UNGLovED IN THEATRES.

Soon after Miss Florence Ives, who is
a sister of Mrs. Henry Croker, return
ed from her last trip to Europe, she
unconsciously inaugurated a movement
among ladies To remove their gloves
while in the theatre, says the San
Francisco Examiner. One evening, as
guest in a large theatre party, she
laughingly said, in her usual burst of
enthusiasm, '.Take off your gloves,
girls; that's the latest in Paris
Off came the gloves at Miss Ives sug-
gestion. Then society eagerly took up
the new-fangled idea and now, at all
the theatres, our buds and bellies never
wear gloves. The custom is universal
and an excellent one. When such Ia
dies as Mrs. Sam Buckbee, Mrs. Will
Whittier. Miss Carroll, Miss Mamie
VOORHEES,, Miss Ives, Mrs. E. Avery Nc
Carthy and many others knew what it
is to enjoy actual comfort during play
with no encased hands, it is no wonder
the fad has turned out to be an i'm
mense success.

HAVANA, May 3O.-The days events

any chances in turning the weapons

believing it would be better to give
them direct to the Americans. All day
it was virtually impossible to get

less the sentry cleared the way. The
Cuban officers, who on the the first day
tried to discourage any who were dis
posed to apply, finding now that the
tide of feeling had turned, are offering
all the assistance possible to Colonel
Randall. At the conclusion of the days
work there were more than 200 who had

MANILA, May 29.-The approach of
the wet season finds the instruction
seemingly taking q new lease of life.
All along the American lines the rebels
are showing more aggressive activity in
their guerrilla style than at any time
before since the fall of Malolos. They
keep the United States troops in the
trenches sleeping in their clothing and
constantly on the alert against dashes
upon our outposts and they make things
warm for the American garrisons in the
towns. The bands of Generals Luna
and Mascardo. which retreated toward
Ardlac when they found they would be
caught between Macarthur and Law
ton, have returned in force to their old
trenches around San Fernando, where
there are daily collisions.
Opposite our forces protecting Manila
all the way round to San Pedro Macati
the Filipinos have three rows of men in
trenches for resistance.
Think the Americans Have Enough.
Their manners indicate that the in
surgents consider the peace negotiations
to mean that the Americans have had
enough of fighting. The Filipinos are
also encouraged by the belief that the
Americans are preparing for an interval
of inactivity during the wet season.
This period is sure to be followed by
much suffering.
The plantations that were Under cul-
tivation last year have not been plowed
this year and the Americans are obliged
to feed thousands just as they fed the
Cubans. ~~~ <~- :~=
Thousands of friendly natives con-

by land and sea, covering the country
where the passage of the two armies
has left nothing for sustenance, throw
ing themselves on the Americans for
support. Thousands of young Filipinos
have been kept by the insurgent leaders
to dig trenches. The United States
forces are distributing rice at Malolos
and smaller towns where Filipino stores
were captured, but the latter will soon
be exhausted.

much of the country they have swept,

But no unbiased American wiE give this criticism a thought. Any man who can spend nearly half million dollars out of pure love fer yacht contest and who can carry himself with such mod est dignity during the period when hundreds of newspaper representa- tiyes from all parts of the world are worrying him for his views, is sports man enough to suit the American pulp lie. On the other hand, Pierpont Nor gan and C. Oliver lselin, millionaire owners of the Columbia, have little in common with the ordinary people of this country. They are rich enough t0 sink a half million in the American yacht and they are able to dof their hats and congratulate Sir Thomas Lip= ton if the latter'S boat wins In any case the rich men provide entertain ment and interest for the world, and the noble sport of yachting gets an inn petus that plays it's part in the internal economy of the two nations.

Shamrock glided onto the bosom of the turgid Thames and was run down by noisy steam lighter, but was not seriously injured. Both boats have had trials when all their great spreads of sail were at some time bowed in the wind. It is the hope of Sir Thomas Lipton that the world will regard his victory as an Irish triumph, should he win. He said at the launching that he did not know who planted the first shamrock on American soil, but that he could fairly claim being the first to place one on American waters. The Shamrock will be conveyed across the Atlantic via the southern route, in all
 probability by Sir Thomas Lipton's palatial steam yacht Erin. Critics are even now asking whether the metallic hull of the dainty yacht will stand the strain of the long trip. William Fife, who drew her lines and figured on her apparent great beam because of her spread of sail, has no apprehensions.

 Judging from what little the experts across the water have seen of the Sham rock, she appears to be a mixture of British and American lines.
