His brother, Waldeck, is reported

His brother, Waldeck, is reported
to have said that he himself is a
Catholic, but that he does not go to
church. The boys followed i'll their
fathers footsteps, and their male par

derelict i'll his duty to his offspring
and in setting them a bad example.
Members of certain organization.

cularS in the Northwest declaring that
the assassin of Mckinley was a Ro-

of Lincoln and Garfield. anti-Catholic
bigots will arise who will proclaim
from the pulpit and in the press that
Mckinley WAS killed by a Catholic
who was attended in his last moments
by priests. 1t is true that he was
urged by Catholic priests to repent of
his crime and prepare for the death
that awaited him. But he was abdul

He cursed clergy and church and died
impcnitent.
Many contradictory stories were
circulated about the literacy and illit-
eracy of the murderer. In court he
told Attorney Penny that he attended
both secular and church schools. In
prison, he told Superintendent Collins
that he had never attended Il public
or parish school nor a church of any
denomination, and that he could not
read or write. SO Mr.. Collins Informed

On the other hand, Waldcck CZolgosZ

attend school and could both read and

After the miscreant had suffered the
penalty of the law his body was sci

inferred within the prison grounds and
there they will lie in oblivion until

The Catholic Citizen refers to howl
ing Ielwig. the Presbyterian parson
of this city, in the following style:
"IIelwig tells his ignorant readers that
the .Tesuits killed Lincoln, and that
Guiteau was IL Catholic. Helwig is
probably himself of the type of Gui-
teau-cmpllatically an \. Z. a. type
hair-brained, credulous and bigoted.
Helwig won't know Guiteaus religion
until they mect-in Il place where Hell
wigs name will suggest his address"
We are informed that Helwig ofticiates
as the chaplain of the followers of
King William of Orange. II that be
so. he is hardly responsible for his
idiotic utterances. The trustees of his
church and the prominent members of
his congregation who employ such a
fellow may regret their action if any
of them ever run for Office The Pres
byterian sheep are worse than their
shepherd.

There is no doubt of his complete vim

ANA has praised all who participated

Sampson he was most generous, and
of his btterest foes he had nothing
but kind words. Not only has it been
shown that the victory belongs to
Schley, but that he displayed personal
bravery and executive ability which
cntitle him to take IL front rank
among the naval commanders of the
country. His kind treatment of the
vanquiShcd Cervcra and the Spanish
sailors reflects credit upon this illus

modesty accompanies greatness. No
wonder that he was interrupted by APP

Technically, Sampson was in COM

ARTISTS REvENGEs
Scores Settled With Brush and

Answers.

Mr. Whistler began life as an engineers
apprentice. One day his employer asked
him to etch map on copper.
The map was a great success, but by
way of amusing himself young Whistler
made border around the plate of ludic-
rous little caricatures of members of the
firm. Next day he went off on a weeks
holiday, entirely forgetting that he had
not stopped out the terrible little pictures.
Meantime, the plate was bitten in with
acid, and printed, and copy of the work
handed to the head of the firm, who flew
into a towering rage, and dismissed
Whistler.
Just as Whistler was leaving, de.
lightful way of getting even occurred to
him. On the clerks desk lay a huge mag
nifyirg glass, with which the latter al
ways scrutinized the work submitted to
him. Waiting his chance, the apprentice
painted hdeous little red demon in the
center of the glass, and then departed.
Next day, when the chief first had occa-
sion to use the glass, he got the worst
scare of his life.
Equally amusing was the way in which
rhe great painter Holman Hunt took
rise out of his first employer. Like so
many other artists, young Hunt began life
as a clerk. His employer was an auc-
tionecr and estate agent. The man used
to lock the boy up in dreary little office
and leave him without books and with
very little to do What was worse the
window of nd
that went on outside could be seen
through it. 1t would not even open, for
the auctioneer had a horror of flies and
other insects.
One tedious morning an idea came to
young Hunt. With pen and pencil he set
to work to draw flies on the window. the
ceiling and the walls. A blot of ink for
the body, and a few pencil strokes for the
wings, and the resemblance was life-like
There were hundred or more when the
chief came in, The auctioneer gazed
around in dismay, and then pulled out a
handkerchief and began a savage on
slaught upon his painted enemies. Young
Hunt, of course, got into serious trouble.
Another statue of Kruger has recently
been erected in Dresden. The ex-presi-
dent figures, as usual. with tall hat and
Bible. Underneath is inscribed: For
Transvaal and Freedom" and the words
"a1l will come right Botha and DE
Wet are also to be seen in very flattering
likenesses But the part of the statue
which delights the pro-Boer, and amuses
Brtons, is the pedestal.
The artist, as is we'll known, has a spec
ial detestaticn for Mr.. Chamberlain, whom
he regards as the type of all that is most
terrible in the British character BY way
of revenge. he has given the hideous dra-
gon which the Boer leaders are treading
under foot remarkable resemblance to
the English statesman who is his pet
aversion.

IRISH NATIONALITY.
What Thomas Davis Wrote About
Fifty Years Ago.

EAty 4CdIS ASU.
The Dublin Irish People has been
publishing selections from the cream
of the Young Ireland Writings, and
ends them by giving the following
from Thomas Davis in the Nation
when that patriotic paper was one
year old:
Want Of nationality has been the
plague of Ireland. The upper classes
were anti-national, and they either
went to spend the money Of Ireland
and to calumniate it in some other
land, or they allied themselves with
the foreign government, and oppressed
the people by excessive rents, jobbed
taxes, and foul Ibigotry. They had no
sympathy with the creed, tongue, his
tory, OF manners of the people; they
were not national.
Too many of the middle classes sped
the vices, the stupidity, and the aliena-
ton of the higher.
10 copy the prejudices of the aris-
tocracy was to be so far an aristocrat.
The satisfaction was great, and the
success easy.
The son of country shopkeeper, or
the owner of few acres, often adopt
ed the whine of cockney, caricatured
the manners of the clubs, professed the
creed of a foreign knave, and practiced
the politics of a foreign tyrant. Often,
without independence OF originality,
despised by the high, spiteful to the
poor, retailers of English lies, and
mean suppliants for English patronage.
they impeded local union and sneere6
at national virtue.
The hearts of the poor are always
right.
They felt the hard crushing hand of
tyranny. Starved on bounteous soil,
which they toiled late and early to
make still more productive, they re-
garded the landlords as the peculating
agents of Saxon rule, rewarded by
plumber and license for garrisoning this
country for England.
But, beyond this, most of them knew
little.
They too often COMPOUNDED the vices
of the landlord with his creed, ignor-
ant that when England and the land
lords We're good Catholics, the same
system existed of delegating to the
aristocracy the right by law to rob and
hang, in exchange for their labors in
keeping Ireland enslaved.
They knew Of the past. only that
they Were ultimately put down. They
did not know that their ancestors had
often defeated the English; had gen.
orally fought we'll; and were finally
beaten by disunion, by the arms Of
some of their own k1nsfolk, or by gross
teacnery.
The past was dark cloud thunder
ting against all future manliness, and
they inclined either to a mean resigna-
ton, or that despair which casts off its
woes and its responsibilities by some
desperate dash for change.

The Catholic gentry did not forget

The Protestants remembered Swift,

United Irislmen with a sigh and shut
teeth.
The middle classes, animated by the
more active of the Catholic clergy, oft
en- rose into independence and Irish
democracy.
The generosity of their hearts, the
success of the emancipation struggle,
the teaning traditions which float
from each battle ground and fill the
preached wall with fighting men, and
sanctify the graves of the dead patri,
ots-all tended to create hope, charity,
and knowledge among the poor.
Our desire was to check the vices,
increase the knowledge, and consolidate

We think we can boast that this was
the first paper in Ireland, of political
and serious character, which could de.
fly the charge of sectarianism. The po-
litical and literary writing Of The Ma

of both Catholic and Protestant, but,
with few trivial exceptions, it has
been respectful to all Christian creeds
on all occasions.
The property of the Presbyterian
sect, most obnoxious to Catholic and
Episcopalian, was assailed-we were

We look upon the Protestant's fear
