Gen. James F. Smith, Justice of the
supreme court of the Philippine Is-
lands, has written valuable pamphlet
entitled "Catholic Missionaries in the
Philippines" in which he says about
the work of the friars:
The missionaries gathered the tribes
into villages and towns, formed coun-
ellis for their government (Which,
whatever might have been their de-
f1ciencies, had at least the merit Of
being actuated by some higher princi-
pie than mere brute force), cut down
the principal forest, uprooted the i'm

charges to cultivate the soil and to

built, Christian instruction impaired,

Death Of Bishop Lehman.

The Right Rev. Thomas Lenihan,
D. d., Bishop Of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
died of heart disease on Sunday night,
Dec. Is, Mt the home of his brother,
the Rev. M. G. Lenihan, at Marshall
town, Ia, where he was sick for the
past six weeks. Bishop Lenihan was
born in 1845 and his preliminary stud
les for the church were made at
Bardstown, KY, Cape Girdeau, Mo-,
and st. Frances, Milwaukee. He was
ordained priest on Nov. 10, 1867, and
for thirty years had served in Iowa,
his last parish being that Of Fort
Dodge, as pastor Of Corpus Christi
church. On Feb. "a, 1857, he was
consecrated Bishop of Cheyenne in st.
Raphael's cathedral, Dubuque. by the
late most Rev. Archbishop Hennessy.
The remains were taken to Dubuque
on Thursday after the solemn Office of
the dead and pontificial requiem high

dral. May his soul rest in peace.

of the war. I am simply dealing with
the facts that our government Went
into this war without. apparently
realizing the difficulties and dangers
which were ahead; and l doubt if
they realize these dangers yet-dan-
gers in Cape Colony, dangers with
the Dutch population throughout
South Africa. These people will not
submit easily. How are they to be
kept down?' Mr.. O'Brien hazarded
to answer, "Conscription?" Again, in
March, 1900, Lord Russell wrote to a
friend: ''What sad business this
war is! And what makes it worse in
my mind, is the fact that one does not
feel assured we are wholly in the
right. and that it might have been
avoided"
In August 1900, Lord Russell passed
away full of courage and hope.
Through life he was n sincere Catho-
lie and true Irishman.
Jeanette L. Glider, editor of the
Critic says in hef review Of the book,
that "while Lord Russell was a tre-
mendous worker he also, like every
Englishman, knew how to play, and
when he was not working he played in
earnest" OF course, he was not an
Englishman at all, but as is well
known, every distinguished Irishman
is called an Englishman nowadays by
Anglo-Saxon writer's.
AS curious instance of Lord Rus
sells attention to details, Mr.. O'Brien
relates that he was retained by q
young lady once in a breach of prom
Use case. '"rake. her to the Dress
maker" he said to the solicitor, "and

dress, or his ability, secured 100000
damages. In divorce cases he always
insisted that his lady clients should
be dressed in black. He used to say
that they should at least pretend to be

things, and it is also a model biog-

him-not in the way that Mr.. Henley

he was not without faults, but that

forms of education inculcated. The
work of civilization was slow, ncccs-
sarily so, but the progress was steady
and healthy and all that could be
expected until about the close of
the eighteenth century. After that
Spain began to experience the full ef-
feet of the reaction resulting from
the stupendOus national eXertions in
the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries
and failed, except in the larger towns
and cities, to give the opportunities
for the higher education which condi-
tions justified and the thirst for fur
thcr knowledge among the native peo-
pies demanded. Universities, colleges.
and schools that would bear favorable
comparison with other institutions of
learning in the world had been estab-
lished by the religious orders in Ma
Mia, IloilO, Cebu and Zomboanga, but
beyond those the facilities for acquir-
ing the higher education were not
many. Almost every town, it is true,
had it's government school, but it's
teachers, as rule, were poorly paid
by the government, and, not being
highly instructed themselves, only the
rutliments of education were impaired
by them. In the large cities just men,
toned, however, where education was
not dependent on the munificence of
the government, but on the institu-
tions in charge of the religious orders
and endowed with means to support
themselves, education made mighty
strides. A visit to the institutions of
learning, richly gifted with every
means to furnish superior instruction,
cannot fail to convince an impartial
observer that the Catholic missionar-
les, far from being the foes of learn
ing, spared no pains to impart it, and
that the statement so often made that
they sought to keep the natives in ig-
norance is the fevered product of a
prejudiced mind. The schools, colleg-
es and universities Of Manila and 9TH
er cities have produced native doctors,
lawyers, authors, chemists, pharma-
cists, engineers, painters, sculptors,
ETC., of splendid ability, and not even
the jaundiced investigator can refuse
to them the respect and consideration
which learning, without regard to the
color Of its possessor, commands all
the wide world over.

ufuslIe IOf NlOuaSuan, DuC he was
passed over because it was feared the
Presbyterians would not vote for him,
and the coalition of Catholics and
Presbyterians was required to oust the
two sitting Tory members. Two Pres.
byterians, Messrs. Girvan and Find
late, got in for Monaghan. Russell
felt sore over the incident. He refer
red to the case as illustrating ''the
narrowness and bigotry Of the Presby-
terians," who are always talking of
their liberal principles. In the same
year, however, he was returned for
Dundalk, defeating Mr.. Callan.
Soon after his election Mr.. O'Brien
had a talk with Russell regarding
Irish political celebrities. Russell ex-
pressed a great admiration for Grat-
tan. He spoke Of John Martin with
respect; Mitchell was regarded by him
with high esteem. He thought Mitchell
was the best of the Young Ireland
writer's.
After Mr.. Gladstone brought for
ward his home rule programme, Rus
sell was untiring on the platforms in
his advocacy of his native land. He
was to the last firm believer in the
justice of Ireland's case, but seems to
have thought that local county and
district government should come be-
fore the full measure of home rule,
as has proved to be virtually the case.
Lord James Of Hereford, an old
competitor Of Russell at the English
bar, says che was great in all the
phases which pertain to advocacy.
He could deal fully with questions of
law; his power of cross-examination
was of the highest; and his speeches
were full Of eloquence, combined with
subtle reasoning. But there was one
characteristic which helped Lord Rus
sell more than these great qualities
to obtain the high position he secured
at the bar. That was his immense
determination. He never would con-
sent to be beaten, and, in fact, never
was beaten until the court adjourned.
I found him the hardest man to beat
I have ever been opposed to at the

My five years chief Justice Of England,
and in that brief time had made his
mark as one of the most distinguished
judges of the age in which he lived.
He was, perhaps, the only English
judge whose name was known
throughout America and the English
colonies and in continental countries.
In one Of the last conversations Mr..
O'Brien had with him, the chief Jus
tees thoughts reverted to the old
country, and he told Mr.. O'Brien he
often thought his countrymen would
get home rule from the Tories. The

SOUTH END PROPOSITION
ELABORATE IN DETAIL
EmbodieS a Number of Features
Which 1t Is Safe to Say Are
Not Duplicated in New England
South Worcester and Union
Hill Must Wait

A new public park at New Worcester
at an estimated cost of $4,000
Same thing at Quinsigamond-ter-
race lot preferred-es estimated cost
$25, 900.
Requests for purchase of additional
land for park purposes in other parts
of the city shelved until another
meeting. Action unanimous.
This, in short, was the result of a
meeting last night of the City Coun-
Gil joint special committee on parks.
There were present at the meeting AL
dermen L. B. Stone and w. Levi
Bousquet, Councllmen Frederick Clee,
Emil Zaeder, Nelson H. Davis, Julian
F. Bigelow, George NJ. Wright and
Joseph P. Morrissey.
The New Worcester proposition is
elaborate in its detail and embodies a
number of features which, 1t is safe
to say, are not duplicated in New
England. Aside from the tract of land
of the Uriah Stone estate, with its pine
grove and other features, the recon-
mendation will include three additional
tracts of land On the opposite side of
STANFORD street. II mas Deen suggested
that a portion of the latter tract be
flooded. providing for an additional
waterway, and that a tunnel be con-
structed under Stafford Street to form
means of communication between
the two tracts and provide a way for
boats and steamers to come up from
Curtis Pond Whether a recommends
ton to purchase a fleet Of steam and
naphtha launches and a few dozen
rowboats will accompany the recon-
mendation. is not decided.
The several tracts included in the
recommendation for New Worcester
are as follows: Estate of Uriah Stone,
so acres. $4,000; Ward estate. acres.
$4,000; Darling estate $4,000 feet,
$4,000: Lyon estate, S16,3 1886 feet, $6000
The land Of the Stone estate borders
on Stafford Street, the land of the
other three parties interested is
bounded by Stafford Street, Main
Street and Young Street.
The recommendation for Quinsiga-
mond provides for the purchase of the
terrace land" so-called. including
$4,000 feet, at an estimated cost of
s25. 900.
The matter of park at South Wor-
cester and Union Hill were put over
until another meeting TO be called in
the near future. Inexpedient to act
will be reported on the order relative
to purchasing additional land near
Crompton Park
