BUTcHERING IN OLD TIMES.
Damascus Was at One Time the
Greatest Cattle Market of
the World.
Forenans

The origin of the species is obscure.
The earliest records of Egypt show us
that cattle were used as draft animals
and that beef was the favorite meat
there some time before the founding
of the kingdom of Menes.
That our vaunted progress after allis
but comparative is forced upon our at
tention in observing that these ancient
records depict butcher cutting up an
OK exactly as is done to-day outside Of
the great slaughtering establishments,
with knife that he sharpened upon
steel that hung at his side and that
the cuts of meat were precisely like
ours. They used leather, and they did
better tanning than we do; the blood,
instead of being processed into fertil-
izing, was used for cooking purposes;
and our Spanish newly made friends
never see better bullfight than was
daily purveyed for the delectation of
those ancient sports"
A little later in the worlds history
we find records of tricks played in the
cattle trade; for do not some historians
aver that Jacob exercised undue infu-
ence upon the cows of Laban's herds
as well as upon the ewes of his flocks :?

There were Chicagos too in those
days. Damascus was an old city in the
time of Abraham. and the greatest
cattle market of the world. Perhaps
some day it viii be discovered that they
refrigerated their beef and canned it,
although there have been no charges,
as yet that they embalmed anything
other than their relatives

Among the many entertainments on
Lincolns birthday, the one at Filteau's
hall, corner OF Nicolet and Lake street,
given by Lincoln court OF Forestcrs.
was without doubt one OF the best and
most successful in the city. Dainty in
vitations had been sent to members OF
the parish, who responded in such num-
bers as to completely fill every corner
OF the hall and pailors. An excellent
musical and literary ieast was given, fol-
lowed by another feast of tempting
viands. The floor was then cleared and
Terpsichorc rliled for time, many en-
joying the dancing till late hour.
Some OF the most noteworthy numbers
were: An address of welcome by Chief
Ranger F. Mcmahon, who stated that
in opposition to Lincoln's we'll known
remark: "Fool some of the people some
of the time," ETC., Lincoln court did
not intend to fool any of the people
any of the time A stirring eulogy on
Lincoln was given by the young and
promising attorney VIM. E. Bates,
whose skillful handling and mastery OF
his subject is characteristic of the man.
Little Willie Rice, an eight-year-old
Forester-to-be, gave an excellent recita-
ton which was encored twice. Mr.. M.
r. and Miss Catherine Fitzgerald, upon
request, gave vocal numbers and re-
ceived the imperative encore they we'll
deserved Mr.. Peake, visitor, gave
two humorous Rotations, which kept
the audience i'll an uproar. Mr.. Harry
Carroll pleased the people so we'll in his
Irish melodies that he was obliged to
give several musical sandwiches, with
the coffee and cake, which came later.
MIR. ]. W. Fitzgerald, in his talk on
Catholic Forestry appealed to the
people in very forciblc way, which
will undoubtedly increase quite mate
rally the membership of Lincoln court.
MIR. Gobel, a young violinist, gave a
creditable performance, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Gobel. Messrs.
Sherin and Hamlin, members OF the
court, very kindly gave several musical
selections as we'll as furnished the music
for dancing. Fathers Fitzpatrick, Nc
Intyre and Arctander were also present.
Father Arctander, responding to a re-
quest of the audience, gave a pleasing
talk. Lincoln court is more than pleased
at the appreciation of its efforts shown
by the members of the parish, which
will serve as stimulus to even better
efforts in the future.

At the Bij0u.

A dramatic novelty OF considerable
interest is announced for the Bijou
next week in the initial visit and pre-
sentation in the Northwest OF the New
York success, "The Sorrows of Satan,"
a dramatization of Marie Corelli's
novel of the same name. The play was
first produced in the great metropolis
and by its novelty, its superb producing
cast and its marvellous electrical effects
won the decided approval of the the
atergoers OF that city.
The title role is in the hands of Mr..
Charles Kent, an actor we'll known
from his stock company engagements
here and player whose dramatic abil-
tiles are peculiarly suited to the exposi-
ton of role Of this kind. Mr.. Kent's
impersonation of the name part of this
play is said to add effectively to his al
ready well-earned laurels. He is prom
ised to be assisted by company thor
oughly adequate in every particular.
The staging of the production is unus-
ually complete and the electrical effects
of most weird and wonderful charac-
ter.

He published under the nonl-de-plume
OF William Hickling, a novel, The
Rector OF Roxbrrgh," and has also
printed privately. small collection Of
poems. Among his minor productions
is a memoir OF his aunt, Sister St. Clair
u member OF the Ursulines for over
fifty years. He counts among the
manifold influences of prayers tending
to his reconciliation with the Catholic
Church her prayers, as well as the
blessing he received at the Vatican
from Pho Mono, to whom, with Mrs.
Dc Costa, he was personally presented
by DR.. Chatard afterwards Bishop Of
Vincennes, U. S. He was one OF the
contributors to the Narrative and
Critical History OF America and has
written much for the magazines and re-
views, besides contributing to encyclo-
pedias He never knew an idle hour,
being ever inspired by enthusiasm. His
discourscs and lectures have been re-
ported tor many years and large
number OF his sermons have been pub
lished. He has been classed with ex-
IRENE opponents OF Biblical criticism,
but he distinctly declares that i'll this
respect, he is misjudged. He objects
to "uncritical criticism" which is little
more than open hostility to the Bible,
which he would have studied icarlessly
and with all the help that may be
brought to the work. He has no fears
about the future OF the Bible, and be-
lieves that it will be amply protected
by the Catholic Church.
Since his resignation from the Epis,
copal ministry, in September last, DR..
De Costa has had invitations to join
many denominations. But God has
shown him the true church, and he has
iearlessly entered it.

Many ugly truths are being uttered
in prose and rhyme about England
since the Bocr war began. In speech
on George Washington before the Cook
County Teachers Association in Chi
cago the other day, Judge Isaac N.
Phillips said: eve are weltering now
in sea Of sentimental gush over the
difficulties of dear old Mother England,
but let us but glance back to those
days when we were her colonists. We
never got justice from hcr-none ever
got justice from her, except at the can
mons mouth. So long as this country
was weak VIC got only contumely and
insult. Greed. contumcy, selfshncss
and unwarrantcd concelt have marked
England's career in the economies OF
the world. 1t was only the boom OF
George Dcwcy's guns that awakened
England to the greatness of the repub-
lie across the sea and aroused that sud-
den love which English statesmen are
now showing for our ethics, our insti-
tutions and our government" Judge
Phillips is not an Irishman though he
speaks like one. The quoted utterance
OF the distinguished jurist is quite as
strong as the philippe of Father Cleary
at the recent pro-Boer meeting in this
city.

1t is said that Timothy Healy aston
ished the British parliament by his
cloqucncc during the recent debate on
the Queens speech. The Associated
Press says OF him: "He was unan-
imous1y, though grudgingly, accorded
praise for making the finest rhetorical
effort heard since the house convened
His delivery and language were worthy
OF Edmund Burke and the best orators
who have spoken the English tongue.
And those who are saying this have
added in the same breath that the man
ought to be shot for traitor" That
is a high compliment to Mr. Healy's
oratorical ability. Now that Healy,
Redmond and Dillon have buried the
Ratchet for the sake of Ireland, the
British will be forced to listen to them
oftener than in the past, and there is
no danger they will be shot for traitors
while united party and people stand
behind them.
