FATHER MATHEW MEN
Hold Their National Convention Mex
Week,

The national convention of the Cath
olic Total Abstinence Union Of Amer
lea will be held in Dubuque, Iowa, on
Wednesday. August 6, Thursday, Au.
gust Z, and Friday, August g.
The local societies in Dubuque are
stirring with enthusiasm on the ap-
proach Of the time for the convention,
and are making elaborate prcpara-
tions to give the national delegates a
most cordial reception.
Archbishop Keane Of Dubuque, is
one Of the leading temperance men in
the country. During the whole course
of his pricstly and episcopal career he
has been outspoken in his advocacy
to total abstinence. Moreover, from
the early days Of the organization Of
the National Union he was it's most
earnest advocate. and when it needed
defender he valiantly buckled on
the armor and did yeoman's service
in it's defense.
AS soon as it was settled that the
national convention would 20 to Du-
buque both it's clergy and the people
set about making the necessary prep
arations for receiving the delegates.
The priests of the archdiocese with
notable accord organized societies Of
the women as well as of the men.

Meissoniar painting a slovenly imita-
tion of Cabancl," and the criticism
was adopted by the art world. The
French master, thinking, perhaps, in
some mOlnentary whim unworthy of
his genius, that anything would do
for Nevada found that lie was paint
ing for keen and severe critic, who
knew what he wanted and wished no
illusion or countcrfeits put upon him
with the sanction of a name Mackay,
when he saw the painting and found
that Meissonicr was unreasonable,
quietly paid the bill, the largest sum,
perhaps, ever given for an original
portrait to a modern painter, and put
the canvas in some out-of- the way
cabinet. There was much made of the
incident by the friends of Meissonier
and mischicvous people. but this is all
there was Of the story.
In 1896 Mr.. Mackay sent to the city
of Nancy, France, n large sum of
money for the purpose of erecting
statue of Joan of Arc by Lorraine

Duport, where Joan offered prayers
to her patron saint. st. Lorraine Mrs.

qucnted by many of the most cultur-
ed people of the French capital.
Mr.. Mackay was a Catholic and n
generous contributor to all church and
charitable objects. No worthy cause
was too insignificant to merit his at
tention. Among his other generous
acts he founded an orphan asylum IN

! The other clergy of the city followed
their good example The same good
work was done in the nearby towns,
and from these it spread throughout
the diocese. SO quickly did this move

maintain their position of prc-em-
The temperance sentiment was strong
throughout the state. The agric,ll,
tural interests are paramount, and
there ARE few very large cities to cor

quOr question.
On Decoration Day delegates repro
scnting the recently organized socic-
ties gathered in Dubuque, and under
the auspices of Archbishop Kcane and
his clergy the constitution of the
Archtlioc2san Union was formally
adopted. There were present 1O3 del
egates, representing 2,lOO organized
total abstaincrs. The leading priests
of the diocese We're accredited to the
convention and among the laity there
We're prominent business men and pro-
fcss:onal men. The Delegates who
were present represented only the
mems societies. There were as many
more women in societies as there were
men. so that the entire organized total
abstinence army in the diocese of Du-
buGue numbers over 5000 total alb
staincrs, and they are increasing every
day. This is the immediate result of
Il years work.
The board of government for the
coming year will consist of the Rev.

A programme of entertainment for
the delegates to the convention that
is full OF a good time is being ar
ranged by the local committees. 1t
includes a reception in the Grand Up
era house; Il great open air meeting
in one of the public parks with the

A writ Of conspiracy against the
landlord trust in Ireland has been is
sWad ut the instance Of Redmond,
O'Bricn, Dillon and Davitt, who an
ticipate an arrest ut the hands Of
Secretary Wyndham within n few
days. The Frccman's Journal thinks
it will be the biggest constitutional
trial in Ireland since the Parncll trial
of 1882. The Irish leaders, however,
are at a disadvantage in going to law
in courts presided over by government
Judges. But they will test what Brit
ish law in Ireland is worth.
