The largest steamship that ever en-

She is the new twin screw steamer Irada

leviathan may be gained from the fact
that with full cargo on board she will
displaee 1880 tons Of water. In oher
words the ship and her cargo would
weigh that many tons.
Between perpendiculars the Irada is sol

engines working twin screws and capable
of developing $500 indicated horse power
and the ship can do her 15-knots an hour

CENTER OF METHoDIsM
In Northern Minnesota Goes From
ST Cloud to lCrookstOn.

CROOKsTON, MINI, Oct 1O-Crooks-
ton will hereafter be the head center of
Methodism for Northern Minnesota. This
important matter was decided at the
meeting of the Northern Minnesota con-
ference. 1t has been contemplated for
some time, and was strongly urged by
DR.. Forbes, presiding elder of the dis
trict that includes the entire northern
half of the state.
The number of districts in the con-
ference has not been increased. but the
boundaries have been changed, and the
redistricting results in disseminating st.
Cloud as the head and name Of a district,
and the formation of the Crooks ton dis
trict in its stead. This places presid-
ing elder in the northwestern portion Of
the state, where he will be in close touch
with the frontier work.
The Crookston district takes in all the
territory north of and including Will5in,
Todd and Otter Tail counties to the in
terna tional boundary, and west of and
including Wadena, Hubbard and Beitrami
counties to the Red river. The minister
chosen as presiding elder is Rev. Lafay-
cite Dodds, D. D. DR.. Dodds has been a
member of the Minnesota conference but
two years, coming from Michigan He is
fifty-four years of age, was a member
of the Eighth Ohio cavalry during the
War of the Rebellion. subsequently grad
uating from Albion college. He has been
very successful in the ministry, and has
an excellent reputation for building up
churches and doing evangelistic work.

gu3ge, and while still youth Eugene
devoted himself enthusiastically to the
s+gdy of Irish. acquired much prof.
cheney in deciphering ancient docu-
ments and learned to read and write
Irish auently.
He added to his fathers collection of
manuscripts by copying those in the
possession of others. These pursuits
were doubtless favored by a slight
lameness which prevented him from
working as much as his brothers upon
his fathers farm and fncapacitated
him from Joining in active outdoor
exercise. During the agricultural dis
tress after the conclusion of the war in
1915 the family was scattered. ard Eu-
gene went to Limerick. In 1884, in con-
junction with John O'Donovan (after-
ward his hrother-in-law), he was cho-
sen to make extracts from Irish manu-
scripts in the various museums relat-
ing to the topography and history of
Ireland.
In 1910 and 1855 he made some val
liable discoveries among the Irish man
uscripts in the British museum, and
in 1S49 be visited Oxford for the pur-
pose of examining the Celtic manu-
scripts there. The catalogue of Irish
manuscripts in the British museum
was compiled by him and is in his
handwriting. In 1853 he was engaged
with DR.. O'Donovan under the Brehon
law commission to translate ancient
laws from originals in various muse
Ums. These he had himself in great
part discovered, and he was the first
modern scholar able to decipher and
explain them. In 1854, on the estab-
liskEIent of the Catholic university, he
was appointed to the chair of Irish
history and archaeology. In 1855 he
translated 'The Battle of the Magh
Leana." together with The Courtship
Of Mornera," and in 1861 published
his lectures on the manuscript. "Ma-

AT present" says an Ecuador CORE
SpOndent of The Catholic Standard and
Times of Philadelphia, eve have the
deplorable spectacle of seeing almost
all the bishops in exile and the few
who yet remain in their own dioceses
deprived of their support because they
are unable conscientiously to swear
fidelity to the constitution and to the
law of patronato imposed upon them
by the present government in defiance
of the Roman pontiff. The reverend
canons and parish priests repeat in
their own lines on a smaller scale the
same unhappy condition of affairs. In
the cathedral the solemn functions
have been suspended, and the semi
narieS have been obliged to reduce the
number of their students, to limit tie
course of students almost to the very
elements of moral and dOgmatic the
ology and not seldom the curates of
the small parishes find themselves in
abject misery" The writer says that
The Freemasons are responsible for
tllis stateaof affairs.
