PUSHING TO PEORIA.
Northwestern to Have Facilities
Similar to the Rock Isl.
and Road.
TWO ROUTES TO DIsTILLERY TOWN
Overy Main Line and D., r. |. &
w. Extension-.latest
Scheme.

Peoria is the Northwestern Railroad
company's newest goal, and before
the twentieth century is eight months
old that company will have line OF
railway into the big down-state town.
At the Chicago Office of the company
yesterday it was announced that de-
tailed plans for reaching into Peoria
had been completed and that within
the next few weeks the preliminary
work in connection with the building
of the line would be begun: The line,
which will be 81 miles in length, will
be constructed from Nelson, Lee
county, few miles east of Sterling,
ON the company's main line, almost
due south to the city of the distil-
leries.
The proposed line viii cross the
Burlington's tracks st two places-a
short distance west of Walnut and
about midway between Wyanet
and Buda. 1t will cross the Santa Fc
line near Edelstein and the Rock Island
& Peoria near Alta. The principal
yards of the Peoria extension will be
laid out in the village of Pottstown,
about five miles northwest of Peoria,
much of which has been bought by
the company.
Into the Coal Fields.
1t is the purpose of the Northwest
ern to lay S0-Pound steel rails in the
new track and to ballast the track to
conform with the ballasting on the
main line. Besides having an en-
trance into one of the most important
railroad gateways in the west, the
Northwestern will have direct COM
munication with the rich coal fields in
the Peoria district.
If this enterprise is accomplished,
the Northwestern will have Peoria
facilities equal to the Rock ISL
and, which goes in via Bureau over
it's main line, and comes out this
way via the Rock Island &
Peoria, forming V. The North
western, according to the plan, will
also be able to enter the city over it's
main line, and have an outlet to the
tri-cities via the Peoria extension of
the ID, r. l. & y. w, now in course
of construction.

DUTY OF IRISHMEN
 TOWARDS ENGLAND
No Visit of Royalty or Celebration of st PatrIck's Day Can Ever Wipe Out
 Her Infamous Acts.

The following letter has been received from a prominent Irish-American, long a citizen of Birmngham
 To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 From the Dublin Freeman's Journal of March I gather that an exceedingly stormy debate was the result of the intro- duction of an address proposed by the lord mayor of Dublin at a meeting held in the council chamber of the city hall by the municipal council of the city of Dublin. After a stormy session of four hours, in which several redhot speeches were made by MT. T. Harrington, M. P; Alderman Doyle and others, followed by the Rt. Hon.. Thomas D. Pyle, the lord mayor, with var ious humorous interjections from the gall lery, the address was adopted by a vote of 30 to 22
 It is incredible that English statesmen can be so blind to the teaching of history as to imagine that serious practical grlev- ances can be mitfgated by a royal visit to Ireland. or by a British celebration of St. Patrick's day
 Now that Ireland is threatened with a visit of royalty" by the representative head of a government that knows no shame, and which has no equal in its ne- farious history of oppression. and blood shed, Irishmen should ponder and think deeply before showing any signs of loyalty to anyone connected with the British gov ernment-not even to Queen Victoria. The reasons are many. British rule is slowly but surely bleeding our native land to death. Every year that country has to pay a gang of foreigners something like ten million pounds sterling, most of which is spent in riotous living. But, aside from this, the violation of the treaty of Limrick, the infamous penal laws, which ought to have burned an undying hate into the hearts of the Irish people against English royalty" in particular, the story of Eng fish rule in Ireland, all make up a record of infamous and cowardly oppression

 Although the Benedictine order is so venerable with age and so numerous-at one time it had 37,9o0 monasteries-it was among the latest to be planted in America The first house was established in Vest moreland county, Pennsylvania, in 1S46.
 In 1892 this monastery in Culman county was erected, and the college was opened the same year. Tn the eight years that have passed wonders have been accom- pished. The forest had to be cleared, stone foundations had to- be laid, brick walls had to be reared. But the workmen di- rected by the abbot toiled with a will and in an almost increditably short space of time they had the buildings ready for occupancy. Last year substantial ad- dition was made to the monastery and now a large gymnasium, constructed of brick, with a stage for theatricals, is nearing completion. This new building is for the use of the college boys.
 Belonging to the institution are nearly 700 acres of land much of 1t cleared, all the work having been done by mem- bers of the order. There are at St. Ser nards between fifty and sixty Benedic- tines, including priests, clerfcs, and lay brothers. All of the priests and clerics, or nearly all of them, teach in the college.

 Bernards, A FAMOUS OLD INSTITUTION The Monks Live in Quiet and Peace According to the Strict Regu-
 Iations of the Order
 The College.
A FAMOUS OLD INSTITUTION
BY WILLIAM RYAN.

Cullman, March 31.-For some months past had been proposing to myself visit to the good Benedictines at St. Bernards, a mile and a half from this town. l had the honor of personal acquaintance with the Rev. Father Boniface, rector of St. Bernard's college; the Rev. Father Am brose, prior of the Abbey; the Rev. Father Benedict, and other members of the illus trious Order of St. Benedict, having met them at the Rev. Father O'Reilly's presby- tery in Birmingham, but had never en- joyed the opportunity of being their guest until last Sunday week, March IS. Arriv- ing at Cullman on that Sunday afternoon, during a drizzling rain. I was greeted at the railway station by one of the Bene- dictine novices, bright and happy young German, who conveyed me in a carry-all drawn by fleet horse, to the institution where Lenten austerity ruled for the monks, perhaps, but where a gracious hospitality awaited their guest.
 Crossing a high bridge which spanned Eight Mile creek swift, deep stream of almost the dignity of a river, I was soon at the portals of the college. Frater Charles. another novice met me at the door and escorted me to the guest cham Der, where I was made to sit by a glowing fire, for the day was unusually chilly; and where, in a few minutes the inner man was refreshed by a luncheon of bread, butter and tea. This repast was served on a waiter by sunny-faced lad but re- gently come from Germany-an exception ally well-mannered boy, the picture of health and contentment.
 The college building is of red brick, on massive foundations of stone. It Is tall, square, and spacious. Adjoining the col lege In the rear Is the abbey or monas- tery, also of red brick This part of the pile is somewhat Gothic in its general ef- feet, but both college and monastery are severely plain. There was no attempt at architectural display; yet standing upon a commanding plateau, skirted by woods, St. Bernard's may be said to present an imposing appearance.
 Nature was in a dreary mood that Sum day afternoon. The Armament was leaden, and the rain continued to fall. The hills near by were enveloped in mist and the sky lines were dim and confused. In the foreground I saw now and then monks black habited in cassock. belt, scapular and cowl, taking their constitutionals in Vi,ite of the falling weather. All this was picturesque, and would have appealed quickly to the imagination of a painter.
 In what striking contrast to the gloom without was my cozy room! I sat at my

bearing and his magnetic manner. His presence, his charm of voice and the beau ty and fervor of his discourse were all remarked at the time. His personality Is indeed captivating. No wonder then that his college boys are drawn closely to him.
 Father Boniface has the advantage of being trained business man, as we'll as classical scholar He was born and rear ed In Chicago, and in that city for sev- eral years previous to his novitate in a monastery, he made his living in an &C., counting room. He is in the best sense q man of affairs, and the successful opera ton of the college must be due largely to his experience in the business world

Being weak in the flesh, I was not up in time for that service, but did succeed in getting out to the 6 o'clock mass. I found the chapel filled with students reciting morning prayers aloud in common.
 Breakfast was served for me at o'clock, after which Frater Charles took me to see the workshops. housed in a row of buildings near the college, formerly used for the dormitories. We called first at the bake shop, and then in order we visited the tailor shop. the carpenter shop, the shoe shop, and the saw mill. We visited also the painters ateier in de- tached building, and the book bindery in the main building. The artisans at St. Bernard's are for the most part Germans. They are lay brothers.
