ST. LOUIS CONCERN DEFENDANT

The Hennessy Mercantile company has
sued the Union Casualty & Surety COM

that amount to be due it as an unearned

The CathoIic Gent1eman.

An interesting paper was read re-
Gently before the Knights of Column
bus of Rockford, Ills, by DR.. Culhane.
Speaking of what constitutes gentle
man, he said: Thanks to the benefi-
cent influence of our holy religion and
mans association with pure woman
hood, the highest type of citizen is
produced, Catholic gentleman. Such
a man is a Catholic at all times, and
a gentleman at all times, but the man
who aims at being a Catholic part Of
the time, and a gentleman part of the
time, is neither a Catholic nor gentle
man at any time; he is what might be
called gentleman on special occa-
sions. In the presence of a lady his
airs are most gracious; his manner
most courteous; to the coquette he can
make a profound bow, but to the Sa-
cred Host he cannot make a genufiec-
ton. At the reception or ball he leads
the grand march; at the sacrifice of
the mass he is absent, and yet he calls
himself a Catholic gentleman, his only
claim to the title being Catholic an
cestry and an infrequent attendance at
mass"

Regular and Secular Clergy.

In this country the regular clergy are
not so much in evidence as the secu-
lar; still nearly all the orders are rep
resented here. and in the large cities
quite a large proportion of them carry
on parish work or are in charge of
educational or charitable institutions.
A few facts in regard to tthe distribu-
ton of religious orders viii no doubt
prove interesting. In the city of Rome
about one-third of all parishes are
held by regulars, and in American and
English cities fully 20 per cent are so
held. In Chicago, of 121 parishes,
twenty-one are administered by re-
ligious orders. and of the priests 334
are secular and 125 regular. In St
Louis, there are Us regulars in a total
of 240, and of siXty-siX parishes nine
are in the hands of some order. In
Boston there are 3S1 secular and 104
regular priests, and twelve parishes
administered by orders out of a total
of forty-five. San Francisco's proper
tion is 101 regulars to 125 seculars. with
seven of the thirty parishes manned
by the former. In New York arch
diocese there are 202 regulars and ATS
seculars, and in the city twenty-six
parishes are administered by regulars
out of a total of Ill. Not quite the
same proportion obtains in smaller
cities and in the country, but it is read
lily seen that Catholics in America are
not without religious orders.

Nor Stephen

The late director Of the Catholic In
dian missions bureau, the venerable
Monsignor Stephan, had a varied ca
reer. Born in Germany of Greek father.
ard an Irish mother, he was educated
for the army, and had actually served
short time when he was afflicted with
blindness, which lasted two years. Sim
sularly, the desire to become a priest
came to him with overwhelming force
during those darkened years; and when
in 1S47 he was called to this country
to attend his fathers deathbed. he en-
tered an American seminary. and in
due time was ordained Then followed
long and creditable career as army
chaplain in the civil war, and when
peace was declared a longer career as
missionary among the Indians. For
many years he looked after their in
terests in Washington. but his duties
lapsed and health failed when the gov
ernment abandoned its old and honor
able policy of supporting Catholic In
dian schools.-Ave Maria

AEGERED BY ALFONSO.
An American Girl snatches a Camera
From the Boy Kings Hands.


New York, Sept. pa cable to the
World from Madrid says: King Alfonso
recently aroused the ire of Miss Col
ford. pretty American girl, at San
Sebastian, by repeatedly taking snap
shots of her while on the beach.
Miss Colford, who is we'll known in
New York society, was promenading
on the beach with her aged French
maid, and the youthful monarch was
also taking a morning walk, accom-
panied by Colonel Lorgia, his military
instructor. AS usual, Alfonso carried
his camera, and every time he passed
the pretty American girl he took a snap
shot at her. When Miss Colford dis
covered what the lad was doing she
became intensely angry and rushed up
to Alfonso just as he was preparing to
take another picture, seized his cam
era and threw it upon the ground, ex-
claiming. How dare you"
Lorgia picked up the kodak and
placing himself between the king and
the excited girl, said in English:
Madame, this is the king of Spain''
TT makes no difference who he is,''
retorted Miss Colford, angrily This
is the seventh time he has photo
graphed me. call that gross, insult
ing insistence, and want him to know
it,"
Tell her we thought her remark
ably pretty" put in the king That's
our excuse. Beg her pardon and say
that after this the pictures shall not
be developed" The royal boy then
turned his back on Miss Colford and
walked away.
