The Roman Catholic diocese of New
York has given $4,000 this year to
Peters pence. At the time of the Pope's
Jubilee Archbishop Corrigan sent him a
check for $4,000 as New York's contri-
button 70 Peters pence. The archbishop
expected that the generosity of the die
cese would approach this sum.

Saint loan of Arc.

All the world has heard Of the hum
BILE Shepherd Maiden of Domremy-
she whom visions and voices called to
deliver her country from the tyranny
of an invader. AS Joan of Arc, the
Maid Of Orleans, the Pucelle, her life
has been written by great historians,
great saints, great philosophers and
great statesmen. Great dramatists,
including Shakespeare, have made her
live again on the stage, and great
poets, including Schiller and Southey
and hundred more have. made her
deathless in poems that can not die.
Now an honor transcending the
highest of these is to be awarded her.
According to Rome dispatch to the
Baltimore Sun, next February, she is
to be raised to the altar of the Cath
Ollie Church canonized saint, st.
Joan of Arc. Arrangements are al
ready being made, and the ceremony
will be one of the most elaborate
that Rome has witnessed for years.

Two generations have passed since
O'Connell eXtorted Catholic Enamel
patton from the parliament at West
minister, and yet Irish Catholics are
not yet fully emancipated in the mat
ter of education. While the Protes-
tants of Ireland, who are in the minor
ity, have all the advantages of high
err education, the Catholics of Ireland
are denied university education by
the government. Bishop O'Dwyer re-
fers to the unjust discrimination as
follows: "At present the Catholics
have no place to go to. The Pres
byterians have Belfast College and
the Episcopalians have Trinity Col
lege all to themselves. They wish
to keep these separate institutions,
but they will not give any institution
for the 100000 of Catholics"

The Canadian authorities in the
Yukon gold territory require every
miner to pay 500 for license before
he is permitted to seek for the yellow
mineral. In addition to that he must
give up 10 per cent of his gold per
week up to and including the first
$500 mined, and is charged 20 per
cent per week over and above that
amount. The same Canadians
thought that Dom Paul's government
in the Transvaal was guilty of extor-
ton in charging British miners a
total tax of 21a per cent, and they
furnished troops to the mother
country" to take away from him the
gold fields of his republic-one of the
most gigantic robberies on record.
What loyal people the Canadians
are, and how avaricious!

Christmas at Bethlehem.

The New York World last week
had cablcgram from Bethlehem
showing the manner in which Christ
mas eve and Christmas day were
this year celebrated in the Holy land
According to the dispatch from Beth
lehem the Sky was clear, the air chill
OH the day before Christmas. At an
early hour crowds commenced to
stream in from Jerusalem and all the
neighboring towns. Many Travelled
from Europe, some even from Amer
lea. The European costumes, min
gled with the bright Oriental dresses,
made the scene varied and vivid with
colors. At the Church of the Nativ-
ity at Bethlehem, the Latins, Greeks
and Armenians each have a place of
worship, but the ceremonies which at
tracted the thousands were those at
the Catholic church. Throughout the
morning crowds focked to the magni-
ficent Church of the Nativity, inclosing
the cave, believed by scholars to be
the actual birthplace of Christ 1t
was brilliantly Illuminated. During
the afternoon multitude Of people
crowded the great square fronting the
Church Of the Nativity, covering the
housetops on every side. The pro-
cession then appeared, the patriarch
escorted by Turkish soldiers preceded
by the Kawasses, or official guard of
the patriarch and convent, advancing
to the church. Following the sac
erdotal procession came that of the
French consul and his staff in uni
form, with an escort of mounted
guard, he taking precedence as repres-
enting France, the recognized guardi-
an of Catholic interests in the Holy
Land. Following his entry into the
church came the beautiful services of
vespers and benediction. Through
out the evening the church was never
without its crowd of worshippers. At
II o'clock mathis We're sung, and a
few minutes before midnight all was
hushed. Then on the stroke Of the
hour the "Gloria" arose-all kneeling
in profound alteration to usher in
Christmas morning.
Immediately afterward the patri-
arch as0ended the high altar and COM
menced to celebrate high mass.
Thenceforward throughout Christmas
day every altar in the sacred edifice
was occupied by priests saying mas
ses. Many devotees who took their

RowDYlsm OF ENGLISH LIMOGES.

According to the various London
correspondents of American papers,
hardly a politicahmeeting can he held
in Ireland without ending in q fight.
The Irish are so pugnacious and bel
ligerent that during an exciting cleo
ton like that of Galway, men and
women march the streets and chal-
lenge their opponents to mortal COM
bat. They use sticks and stones for
arguments. and If the British govern
ment had not forbidden the use Of
arms to the people, they would slay
one another like Sioux Indians. The
Irish are a terrible, turbulent race,
and England has great difficulty in
keeping them from committing nu-
merous homicides when their Celtic
blood is at the boiling point during
a parliamentary campaign.
The Irish are also race OF in
CRATES, for they are incapable Of ap-
preciating the stupendous kindness of
England in furnishing to them at their
own cost, for the preservation of life
and property and enforcement Of
law and order, some 10000 soldiers
and $4,000 policemen, all armed to the
teeth to keep the unruly Celts from
killing one another. So the London
correspondents say, and what they
say must not be contradicted.
These same transmitters of news
are usually silent when it is the Eng
fish who are killing and fighting one
another ut political meetings. OF
course, the Anglo-Saxons are a noble
people. They are the worlds civil
izers. 1t cannot be possible that they
could ever reach the low level of the
barbarous Celts of Connaught. But
strange to say, the mercurial Celts of

The Conscience Fund.

In the year 1911 an anonymous
citizen of New York sent dollar to
the treasury department at Washing
ton with an avowal that he had de-
frauded the government and wanted
to make restitution, writes H. 3.
Armstrong in Ainslee's Magazine for
January. A dollar meant something
to Uncle Sam in those necessitous
days when the country verged on war
with Great Britain, and it was pat
triotic as well as penitent act. The
contributor was the founder of the
conscience fund, and probably he
died in the odor of sanctity. During
the proceeding thirty-five years of the
life Of the republic no one had des-
poiled the government, OF the private
conscience was callous. This New
York man, indeed, seems to have been
the one blemish on golden era of
national virtues, for fifty years were
to elapse before there was an addition
to the fund. In 1861, just after Sum-
ter was fired on, the sum of $4,000 In
bonds was received by the treasury
department with letter explaining
that Il sorely tried conscience could no
longer endure it's burden of guilt. The
plain inference was that the sender,
realizing the United States would
need a mint of money to carry on the
war, judged it to be time to defer
repentance. Think of the bounty
jumpers who profted by his fat con-
tribution! 1t was really useful to
the country in another way. The
conscience fund, which had langu-
ished~for want of shining example,
now became active. 1t has been
quoted pretty steadily ever since. At
the present time it amounts to more
than 100000. Indeed, restitution is
getting to be the fashion, and the
time may come when no one will take
advantage of the government, or do so
only with the laudable design of swell
ling the conscience fund when any
emergency confronts Uncle Sam.

A London dispatch says that Cham
berlain will continue the military cam
paign in South Africa until every
burgher in arms is a prisoner. Who
is running the British empire-Cham
berlain or Edward "by the grace OF
Cod? Robert Bruce fought the Eng.
fish ten years before he routed the
army of Edward II. at Bannockburn
Christian DeWet will fight the British
for the same period and ultimately
drive the Tommies of Edward VII
into the ocean. DeWet is using the

Says Reynolds Newspaper: At
last this infamous government has
been forced to publish the details of
the death-rate in their murder camps
for October-details held back us long
as possible. The death rate has risen
from 433 to 572 per thousand. The
world will be aghast with horror Mt
this wanton destruction of human
life, this deliberate policy Of exter.

The history of war is full of in
stances in which Inaccessible" places
have been reached and captured by
the enemy. The report of disaster to
the British forces in South Africa on
Christmas Day is of that kind. Ac-
cording to all the rules of strategy the
British were secure on the top of a
kopje with precipitous side, and
should have been let alone; but the
Beers were rash enough to scale the
precipice and rush the British camp
before it's inmates were fairly awake.
The occurrence will convince the
British authorities more fully than
ever that the Beers do not understand
military tactics and have no reverence
for the anniversary of the Savior's
birth.

In recent speech to Ulster Union
list farmers at Fermanagh, T. w.
Russell, M. P, referred to the sad
condition of the cottiers of the West
Of Ireland as follows: "The people
are herded and huddled together like
swine upon small patches of land,
totally incapable of maintaining life
and out of which an economic rent is
impossible. The lives of these peo-
pie are hopeless, long drawn out rec
ords of misery. They are living in
houses little better than Kaffir kraals,
eating food in comparison with which
the house ration is aff1uence and
luxury, clothed as no peasantry in
Europe is clothed. This is not a
fancy SKETCH"
No wonder these miserable serfs
are banded together gainst felonious
landlordism under the banner of the
United Irish League.

KING EDWARDS CORONATION.

AT the diamond jubilee of Queen
Victoria the United States was repre-
scented by Whitelaw Reid, General
Miles and squadron of the navy.
At the coronation of her son, Edward
VII, this republic will again be rep
resented by some conspicuous citizen,
and by a fleet of warships. Why the
queen of England and her bald-headed
son should be singled out by this gov
eminent for especial honors is a
question worthy of consideration. At
the coronation of the Emperor OF Rus
STA or at the Inauguration of the
President Of France, the United
States is represented only in per-
functory manner by the American am
bassador to those countries. Is it be-
cause England has displayed greater
friendship to the United States than
either France or Russia that the gov
ernment at Washington makes such a
discrimination on occasions of this
kind?
The American schoolboy reads in
his history that France is the only
European country that sent soldiers
and ships to aid the colonists in their
struggle for independence. If the
schoolboy is fond of historical reading
he will also learn that Russia was a
friend of the United States during the
civil war, and that England was not.
On the contrary, England was the
enemy of the North and the friend of
the South, and did everything in its
power to destroy the union of the
States. The British Government paid
$15,500,000 for depredations commit
ted on American commerce during the
rebellion, to avoid chastisement at
the hands of the United States.
How did Russia act at a critical
conjuncture during the Civil War
when European monarchies were con-
templating the destruction of this re-
public? The then Gear, Alexander H.,
sent ships of war to New York harbor
and San Francisco bay to aid the
North if combined attack were
made upon it by the navies of Vic
toria and Napoleon. Some pro-Brit-
ish writer's say that this is "histori-
cal myth" but it is true, neverthe-
less, as can be seen in the biography
of Thurlow Weed, who, with Arch
bishop Hughes, was sent by Lincoln
and Seward as an envoy to Europe to
prevent any alliance of European pow
ers against the United States.
We are glad that there is one paper
the Chicago American-which is op-
posed to honoring England at the
Kings coronation. In recent issue
1t expresses the sentiments of millions
of true Americans when it says:
Why should this republic concern
itself about the coronation of any
king? Are European monarchs given
to dispatching fleets and special en-
voys to our capital when we inaugu-
rate our President? Surely not. And
they are quite right, too. Crowned
heads have no reason to wish this re-
public well, for it needs only the
spread of the American idea to make
an end of crowned heads.

fetal participation in the coronation

god of Commerce, the inspired eulo-
gist of Somebody's Soap. He tunes
his Tyre to the air of "America," and
sings of Zone Tongue, One Tune and

We Saxons all agree
For racial unity,
To save our King.
Because we know that blood's
Thicker than thickest suds,
To thee we bring our buds,

Ireland are gentle lambs compared
with the phlegmatic Saxons Of Eng
land. This fact was illustrated re-
Gently at meeting in Birmingham,
where Joe Chamberlain lives. Al
transatlantic exchange tells the
story as follows:
"Mr. Lloyd George, a well-known
member of Parliament, proposed to
address a meeting in Birmingham
Town Hall on the subject of the war.
What happened? Various lingo pub
lie men in Birmingham publicly in
cited roughs to break up the meeting
A large mob assembled in the streets.
Within the platform was stormed by
rowdics; without the hall was
wrecked, and one man was killed.
And the comment of the London
Times on all this is that it illustrates
the fact which even Continental
journals are finding out, that the
working classes in the country are
1mperialist to the core.' So that the
test Of being Imperialist to the core
is to wreck public buildings, to kill
citizens engaged in lawful meet
ing, to assault and terrify men and
women engaged in exercising a legal
right. In Ireland a member of Par
lament is sent to Jail for two months
for advising people not to speak to
landgrabber. In Birmingham public
men incite a crowd to violence, their
indictments are carried out, culmin-
at1ng in murder and outrage and this
is hailed as triumph of civilization
and of the great principle of empire
building. If landgrabbers house
was broken into in Ireland, If Ma
tionalist meeting degenerated into a
mob which wrecked buildings and
killed people, and an Irish journal de-
clared that these facts were proof
that the people were Nationalist to
the CORE we should never hear the
end of it. 1t is reserved for the baby
slayers to gloat with joy over the
Government of England by mob law"
This rowdyism at Birmingham was
disposed Of in a single paragraph by
the London correspondents Columns
were occupied with the alleged dis
turbance at Galway. The riots in
England and Ireland We're instigated
by lingo public men" to suppress
freedom of speech. Lloyd George, an
English member of parliament, barely
escaped with his life for attempting
to speak against the South African
war; and Conor O'Kelly is thrown
into prison without trial by jury for
speaking against landlordism in Ire
land. The Anglo-Norman aristocracy
of Great Britain and Ireland are
trampling on the British Constitution
and Magma Charta. How long will
the agricultural and laboring classes
Of the British Islands permit the idle
aristocracy to rule them? The sooner
they get rid of the nobility the bet
ter it will be for the empire at large.

am now thinking about death, and
l imagine nothing can be sweeter in
death than to be assisted by a priest
who is your friend. Friendship so
greatly facilitates openness, humanity
and candor. What AZ grace to die in
THE arms of man who has always
the same Faith as ourselves, who
knows our conscience and loves us.
The majesty of death! Well, call it
that if you Wilt is only another
name for one of the striking manifest
atoms of Gods Omnipotence. And
strangely enough it is a majesty
which is ever respected even when the
God from whom it flows is forgotten.
There are those who claim they can
not and do not believe in the existence
of God; who deny the supernatural,
but in the pale presence of death they
find themselves in 4 reverential mood,
a feeling of awe steals upon them
when they hear the means Of those
waves that break upon the shores Of
eternity.
OF all the gifts to be prayed for
next to grace at heart, tact and gen.
tleness in manner are the most desir-
able. A brusque, shy, curt manner,
a cold Indifference, snappish petul-
ance, brutal appearance of stolidity
antagonize and wound and rob even
really kind actions of half their value.
1t is worth while to do a kind thing
gracefully and tactfully. There is
certain propriety of demeanor which
never makes mistake, which guards
the feeling of loved one as carefully
as mother cherishes her little del
icate child. In time such tact be-
comes natural and one who has it
makes others happy without trying to
do so.
