lreland'S War Problem.

The London Correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune says: Conscriptior
is impossible in Ireland That is tho
scvcrcst crux in the military problem
Great Britain must face when this wal
is ended, or perhaps before. By pro-
viding military training for 1rishmcn
England would merely be arming
against herself race which admittedly
produces the best fighting material her
army possesses.
Military authorities, apart from the
war, are most concerned now in franz
ing schemes OF CONSUMPTION, and all are
brought to dead stop by the startling
fact OF the almost universal Irish dis
affection, the result of the denial OF
home rule. 1t is noteworthy, too, that
Ulster, though more thickly populated,
provided, despite its large section OF
avowedly loyalist inhabitants, a far
smaller relative proportion OF the SOL
diers for the British army than the
other three provinces.

O We who love us, pray O pray!

The death OF Mother Aurela, which
took place in St. Paul at the Catholic
Orphan Asylum on Wednesday, Dec.
20, was not unexpected. Her long ill
ness, borne with Christian resignation,
was a preparation for it.
She was native OF New York, and
received her early education in St.
Louis, Mo-, where, when very young,
she entered the Sistcrhood OF St. JOS
eph OF Carondelet. Shortly alter talk
ing the veil, she was sent to ST. Paul,
where she labored in various capacities
for nearly forty years. In the early Co.'s
she taught in the old Cathedral school;
later OH in St. Mary's and ST Joscph's
parochial schools; and for the last fiji
teen years she was in charge OF converts
in East Minneapolis, Winona and An
Okla. A wide circle OF friends will fond
ly remember the many kind acts she
bestowed upon those with whom she
CAME i'll contact
Nature had endowed her with many
pleasing gifts and quaities-not the least
was the happy faculty OF making and
retaining friends.
Her funeral took place on Friday
Dec. 22, and the requiem mass was at,
tended by large number Of friends
clergy and members OF the order.
Archbishop ireland, who had known
Mother Aurelia from childhood
preached short but eloquent sermon
in which he paid feeling tribute to tho
gentle, modest, quiet, virtuous life o
Sister Aurelia."
After the archbishop pronounced the
absolution, the coffin was carried to tho
gate Of the convent by six sisters, com
panions OF her early days, followed b,
a long line OF the members singing thu
Solemn Miserere. She calmly sleep!
among the many dear ones who have
gone, long since, to receive their re
ward, and now, Calvarys silent moune
holds all that remains OF Mother Au
relia.
Through life she had been St. JOS
eph's devoted client, and with hel
death, occurring on Wednc day, is now
associated the consoling thought tina
He in whose service she was sc

Chas. H. Hoyt's comedy entitled "A
Day and Night" will be presented al
the Bijou next week. The company is
said to be one of unusual excellence
while the musical portion of the pro-
gram is more ambitious than in any
preceding Hoyt comedy.
The plot tells of an old naval officer
who, returning from long cruise on
the Asiatic coast, finds his baby boy
whom he had left, grown to be man.
He is not apparently OF the sort The
old sailor fancies, being without much
knowledge OF the world. The young
man goes to New York to select men,
bcrs for a church choir and the father
goes witt, him secretly, intending to
show the son little OF the world. The
father falls in with theatrical manager
and lets him into the plot. The man
ager says he will introduce the son at
private dinner party to number OF
chorus girls, telling him that they are
concert singers. The good young man
finally throws off the cloak and energies
as one OF the boys and proceeds to en-
JOY himself. When the fun is at its
height the minister and the mother and
father of the young man put in an
appearance, and there is terrible scene.
The entanglements are, however. finally
unravelled and all is forgiven
The principal roles are all in the
hands of people who have long been
Hoyt favorites, or are reasonably sure
to establish themselves as such, and
contribute number Of new and novel
specialties.
