The pious visitor would doubtless
linger most lovingly over a fork and

the Garden of Gethsemane, while a
Roman lamp found in the catacombs
would claim it's share of attention.
Another curiosity worthy of particu-

the Battle of Shiloh.

is one of the United States, bearing

All day Wednesday the delegates
were busy visiting points of interest

Progress" has been the slogan of the
A. o. H. in this state, and it's growth
is considered remarkable. In 1884 the
first division was established at Park
City, with Thomas O'Conner, who has
always been q faithful worker, as the
| first state president 1t had then only
sixteen members, and now, in it's fif-
teenth year, there are about $50, and
probably that many more waiting to
! get in. The Hibernians need no praise
through the columns of the Catholic.
Their work is too well known. With the
chief object of the order that of caring
for the sick and needy, in view, it ap-
peals to all native sons and daughters
as the greatest representative body on
this side of the water. It was founded
by true SONS Of Erin in very early days,
and was Furnishing in America under
the title Of THE Friendly Sons of st.
Patrick in the period covered by the
American revolution. George Washing

der, and remained such until his death

membership.
In America at the present time there
are no less than 120, 900 members, and
Australia has about $1,000. AT the ma
tional convention next month it is ex-
pected that the reports of membership
rolls will show an increase of all of
10000 over the year preceding.
The order has not been without its
troubles however. The factional split
of 1854 over a dispute as to the consti-
tuition is still fresh in the minds of
many, and the arbitration of the diff
Guilty and grand reunion of the oppos-
ing factions in 1898 at Trenton, N. j.,
brought about by Bishop McFalls and
others of that state, mark epochs in
the history of the association. The dis
pute arose between the board of Erin
and the board of America, as to which
had precedence in the matter of govern
ment. Concessions were made on both
sides in settling the trouble, and since
that time matters have moved on har-
bringing the deserved sue
cess.
The Park City division met with Sc
we're -reverses in the big fire Of two
years ago. All their belongings were
swept away, but little energy and
good fortune in securing funds has
placed the branch on it's former foot
ing, and the building of home is look
ed upon as an event in the near fu-
ture.

A GERMAN ESTIMATE OF THE
BRITISH NAVY.

A Representative German estimate Of
the British navy as found in the Vos-
sische Zeitung TRANSLATED in the cur
rent Literary DigesD, is as follows:
ut is not at all impossible that
Great Britain would experience as
much disappointment in naval war as
now in her struggle on land. A por-
ton Of the English press have ac-
knowledged that all is not as it should
be; but the general public hardly know
the extent of the corruption rampant
in the navy. Many of the guns are
made Of bad material, are faulty con-
structed, and have wrong calibre. Guns
must be manufactured with the utmost
precision, else they are likel yto burst
and cannot be depended upon for ac-
curate shooting. Krupp, for instance.
owes his reputation to the fact that
nothing is allowed to leave his works
ere it is thoroughly tested and able TO
pass the most rigorous inspection. Now
in England it is very common for cabi-
net ministers to be interested in large
industrial establishments, and to draw
large sums as shareholders or directors.
1t is, therefore, easy to understand that
government contracts are not given to
the most reliable firms. Thus the guns
obtained from the Italian branch of the
Armstrong company are said to be
very faulty. Naturally part of the
Italian artillery also leaves much to be
desired) Faulty calibre is a serious
matter. For if the ammunition of a
gun should run short it may be found
that ammunition supplied for another
gun nominally of the same calibre. is
useless, and a gun is put out of action.
To this must be added that many ships
are armed with old. inferior guns, and
therefore hardly able to cope with an
enemy carrying the best modern artiI-
lery.
THE quality Of the crews leaves
much to be desired. Their discipline is
not good, and that counts almost for
more nowadays than personal courage.
Their training also is faulty. There
can be no doubt that the British navv
has ships which might well be the envy
of any nation, but on the average that
navy is certainly not what if is
cracked up to be- and it may with
certainty be assumed that the German
excepting, of course, in point of num-
bers-is much more seryiceable."

AN IMPEACHMENT OF ORANGE

Some time ago we stated that ex-
Priest Slattery, having been taken in
hand by the Australian Orangemen.
the Rev. Edward Lewis, who held the
position Of an assistant chaplain in the
Order, at first welcomed him and then
finding out his true character de-
nounced him, setting forth the facts
upon which he grounded the denunci-
alton. For this he was expelled from
the Loyal Campbell Lodge" and in
such high-handed and unfair man

Catholics, they constantly inculcated
the bitterest hatred toward members
of that denomination. 1t was, he says.

A DEGENERATE DRAMA.

A New York jury of wise men has
decided that the disgusting and nasty
play Of "Sapho' is not too bad for New
York audiences. and consequently that
degenerate play has again made its
appearance in that city. Whether or
not the jury that so decided is capable

1t is enough that the play in question
is dramatizaton Of Daudet's book;
to condemn it and Danish it from
among self-respecting. decent people.
it is likewise enough to condemn Miss
Nethersole, the actress who produces
it in the name of art. This actress

was necessary to raise the moral per-
ceptions of the human race and clarity
thought. This the Church did with in
finite patience and perseverance. The
slave was supposed to belong to his
master, body and sould. She taught
him that he was responsible to God
for his own soul; she secured for him
all the rights and privileges of a Chris
tan. The sanguinary games and i'm
moral plays in which he figured she
relentlessly condemned. Then she
ameIiorated the laws which affected
him, and labor having become free,
the doom of slavery was sealed. 1t
may take a long period to inspire men
with the conviction that war should be
avoided whenever just arbitration is
possible, but the championship of the
idea by the Sovereign Pontiff may, we
feel sure, be regarded as a pledge of
its future acceptance.

The Utah auxiliary of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, Ireland's great
patriotic organization, held it's sixth
biennial convention in Salt Lake Tues
day, and the showing made in attend
ance and general interest presages for
the order a more rapid growth than
ever, and all the accompanying sue
cess.
Tuesdays meeting was held at the
residence of Bishop Seaman, the dele
gates from all over the state having
the big house thrown open to their en-
tertainment. Besides the regular work
of a secret nature, a great deal of bust
ness was transacted.
BY unanimous vote Rev. Father
Cushnahan of Ogden was chosen state
president for the ensuing two years,
and Tim O'Keeffe of Park City was
elected secretary. The treasurership fell
to Timothy Donovan of Park City, and
Father Kelly was again installed as
chaplain. A graceful compliment was
paid Patrick l.. Ferris of Ogden, the re-
firing president, for his good work dur
O'Keeffe's reelection for a third term
rightfully attested his popularity.
One of the most important acts of
the convention was the adoption of a
resolution of sympathy for the noble
Beers in their heroic struggle for lib
erty and human rights" The reso1u-
ton was presented by ]. F. Callahan
and seconded by Peter Clark, and was
adopted unanimously.
Father Cushnahan was selected as
the delegate from Utah to the national
OF Hibernians, which con-
venes in Boston on May next.
The reports of the division presidents,
who are located at Salt Lake, Ogden
and Park City, showed that all are
and the number of appli-
cations for membership is great enough
to keep the officers busy passing upon
them for six months to come

LEO XIII AND THE WORLDS
PEACE.

The report that the Holy Father is
about to issue an Encyclical in which
he viii urge all Sovereign Powers to
resort to arbitration for the prevention
Of war, and viii invite the Catholic
Hierarchy throughout the world to use
their influence for the diffusion of prin-
ciples Of peace, elicits from one of our
correspondents the expression of the
hope that as the Church did away with
slavery, so it will put an end to war.
The reference is certainly suggestive of
hopefulness. There was a time in the
life Of mankind when slavery seemed
as inevitable as war. But thanks to
the influence and exertions of the
Church, slavery has become a thing
Of the past. Its removal was not the
work Of a year or of a century. Slav-
cry was one Of the features of a low
moral and mental condition. Before it
could be banished from the world it

l am little, l know, but L think I can
throw
The. fellow no weighs ton.
l send out no challenge bold,
blow me no Wanting horn.
But foolish is he who treadeth on me
He wish he'd never been born.
Like the flower OF the field, vain man
Lifts his head at the dawn of the day;
But when he shall feel my grip on his
heel,
Like the stubble he fadeth away;
For lift him high up in the air,
With his heels where his head ought
to be:
With down-coming crash he maketh his
mash,
And 1 know he's clean gone upon me.
Men laugh me to scorn on the stand.
Where I'm quiet and humble and meek:
My talent is one, but the deeds 1 have
done,
Have made cellar gratings to creak.
m red-hot Republican born;
And Nihilist fearless be;
Though the head wore a crown, would
bring 1T low down,
If it sets its proud heel upon me.
