CATHOLIC CONVERTS LEAGUE.
Dr De Costa Heads New Organization
 of Former PrOtestants.

Dr De Costa Heads New Organization
 of Former Protestants. D. New York, Dec 26.-AIen and women of this city who have been converted from Protestantism to the Roman Catholic faith have formed an organiz- alton. This action was taken when twenty-five recent converts met ill the church of the Paulist Fathers on last Monday evening.
 The Rev George Deshon, superior general of the Paulist Fathers, acted as moderator. It was decided to form an organization to be called the Cath lie Converts league, of America. pr Benjamin F. De Costa. former rector of the Episcopalian church of St John the Evangelist. was elected president of the league; George D. Mackay, vice president; Miss Annie Burritt of Bridgeport, Conn, a young woman of wealth and a former ardent worker in the Episcopal church, was made secre- tary, and s. Coates, treasurer.
 Some of the persons at the meeting were Miss Elizabeth Miller, Miss Sarah Deshon, William Harris, Walter G. Hooke of Colby university, Mir and Mrs Walter Waters, Frank Vermilye, MT and Mrs Floyd Jones, Caryl Cole man, Jesse Albert Locke and the Rev Henry A. Adams, formerly rector of the Episcopal church of the Redeem CT.
 The object of the organiza ton is to enlarge among the members an ac- curate knowledge of the Catholic re- 1igion and to stimulate them to the regular practice of its duties; to propa- gate the Catholic faith by personal example and social intercourse, by the establishment of Catholic libraries, by the circulation and distribution of Catholic literature and the support of non-Catholic mission work for the bringing of other Protestants into the fold; to foster fraternal relations among converts and to assist those who have made sacrifices for the faith.
 The new organization will hold reg ular meetings. It is expected that other cities will form leagues. and that all may be united into q national body.

HOLY CROSS PROGRAMMED.
It's New Prospectus at Once Wins It
 Favor.


 Favor.
 The Worcester Daily Telegram of December 24 says:
 "H0Iy Cross college has been re- organized and has been registered by the board of regents of the university of the state of New York. The new statement of courses, in the prospectus which has just been issued by the au- thOritieS of the South Worcester col lege, is approved by the board and IS registered in full, in lieu of regents examinations for professional certln- cates. The Holy Cross degree B. A. is also registered as meeting the re- quirements of the court of appeals of the state of New York for A years allowance i'll term of study for admlS- sion to the bar. This means great deal to students of the Worcester col lege The graduate may present his diploma at any of the professional schools of New York state and be ad- mitted. and his senior year in college will be counted as one year m the higher schools, and he may also enter without taking the examinations which the board prescribes. Moreover the students in the preparatory depart ment of the college, after completing the courses prescribed. may enter the New York colleges without taking the regular entrance examinations.
 The New York board of regents reached such decisions after consider ing the new prospectus, and last week the Rev T. E. Murphy. s. J., prefect of studies of the Holy Cross, received a letter from the secretary of the board, James Russell Parsons, Jr, advising him of the decision.
 'The prospectus is something new at the college. It made it's first appear ance early last week, neatly bound in blue paper It outlines the courses of studies with complete necessary eX- planations and is of far more value that the regular catalogue. which only makes brief survey of the courses of study. It also gives a list of complete requirements for admission to the col lege, and has several fine pictures of various large halls. The prospectus owes it's existence to the efforts of Father Murphy, who gathered the in formation and compiled the work. The author wrote it for the accommodation of prospective students who write in- qlliring about things not fully explain ed in the catalogue.
 ''The membership of the college will be greatly increased after the holi- days. Several young men have all ready been registered for admission at the beginning of the new year, and a large number have sent for admis- sion blanks. The new students will come from Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts"

BONAPARTIST NOBILITY.
How a Number of Them Have Sue
ceeded in Gliding Their
COronets.

The Bonapartist nobility have a tai
ent for gliding their coronets through
marriage, says London Truth. A Ney
in 1880 secured the heiress of Lafitte,
the banker. His nephew married the
adopted daughter of Nine. Heine. Due
de Rivoli married the latter when she
was Dowager Duchesse d'Elchingen.
He and she are now prince and princess
Of Ess;;r3 Most of the Murats have
married great heiresses. Prince de
Wagraa1 l. husband of a Frankfort
Rothschi!d. Fouche, Due d'Otrante, is
settled in Sweden, and has had matri-
monial fortune there. Due de Tarente
has just married the widow of M.
Camescasse, who was an eminent bar
rister, prefect of police, deputy and one
of the most amiable Frenchmen / ever
knew. The new Duchesse de Tarente
is "boss" of the General Company of
Omnibuses and has fortune from other
sources. She has two daughters nearly
grown up who attended the wedding.
They give promise of beauty. The we'd
ding took place at Douai. Marshal
Macdonald, first Due de Tarente, was
not Scotch by birth, but the grandson
of a Scotchman who was driven by the
defeat of the second pretender to take
refuge in France. He settled at Aux
ere. The marshal was not Bonapartist
in feeling. But he was so cold-shoul-
dered by restored royalty as to be glad
of its disappearance in 1880.

A. Faithful Dog.

Our Dumb Animals gives touching
story of the wonderful heroism of
dog last. winter in the icy waters of
Alaska. Two men and the dog start
ed out from camp to find trail lead
ing away from the terrible Valdes gla-
cier. For days they wandered in the
snow till their provisions were we'll
nigh exhausted and the men could go
no further. Then one of them wrote
a message on a scrap of paper, tied it
to the dogs neck, and told him to go
back to camp. The dog disappeared
in the snow and storm. Two days and
nights passed; when, just as they
were giving up in despair, ''out from
the binding snow bounded the faith
full dog, and close behind him came
ready hands to minister to their
wants.

SPENDTHRIFT.
What BefaIlsa~ the One Who Neg
lects to Provide for the
s.Rainy Day"

BY most men the rosy dreams OF
youth are never realized. The work
men must always far outpumber the
employers, more than 100 to /.
The man who puts off the prac-
tice of economy, waiting for time
when it will be easier for him to deprive
himself of certain pet luxuries, learns
when it is too late that he has passed
the point where he can demand of the
present that it shall help provide for
his future. Among all the acquaint-
ances have had in the past 40 years, not
onespendthrift among them has retired
from business a successful man.
Possibly you may look upon that
word ''spendthrift' as one that cannot
be applied to you. You may think it
applies only to one who foolishly
throws away fortune. If you will
turn to your dictionary you will read
that he is spendthrift who is. i'm
proYident or wasteful. The word ap-
plies with equal force to the man earn
ing ten dollars week and to him who
has thousands.
There are no miracles in business
career. The man who wins success has
toiled early and late with all his powers
of body and mind. He has been sub
servient to his ambition. He has pushed
aside, because it was the first step to-
ward success, every habit and desire
that stood between him and his goal
No man was ever numbered among the
successful ones unless he was waiting
and prepared for Fortune when she
knocked at his door. She has never
yet been known to wait for any man or
boy to prepare himself for her com
pany. i know of no one habit that so
thoroughly molds the character of a
young man as the habit of economy. It
gives him strength of will. 1t teaches
him to look beyond an action to its
final result. It continually reminds
him that the pure, sweet, innocent
pleasures of life are almost to be had for
the asking, and that Satan is not only
