SISTERS OF CHARITY.
A Fine Tribute Pail to Them by
Cardinal Gibbons.

In Il recent sermon ut the Cathedral
of the Sisters of Charity as follows:
''The Catholic church in this city
has Sisters of various orders in charge
of hospitals for the treatment of every
form of disease, where patients are
tenderly nursed by these devoted wom

She sends her Daughters of Charity
and of Mercy to the battlefield, and

During the Crimean War much

devotion to the sick and wounded
soldiers. Her praises resounded in
both hemispheres. And Clara Barton
has been the recipient of similar eulo-
gies in our own country, because of
her zeal for suffering soldiers during
the late war.

Mercy you have Il Florence Nightin-

concealed his name from Tobias, hide
their names from the world.

the jaws of death like the famous six
hundred at Ralaklava. not bent, like
them, or deeds of blood, but on deeds

Cork Pipers' Club.

At Il recent meeting of the Cork
Iipers' Club, in Schulz, Rev. Father
CrOnin, editor of the Buffalo Union
and Times, made Il patriotic address,
saying in part. as reported by an Irish
exchange:
He was glad he came there that day
for no other purpose than to witness
that Irish meeting, and not only was it
worth the trip from Cork or any part
OF Ireland to come there but it well
repaid his journey over the bosterous
waves of the Atlantic. He was little
boy when he left his Irish home, and
this was his third visit to it, Never

witchcry Of the old Irish airs and the
necromancy of the old Irish song that
they delighted to listen to brought be-

so, but he would never think so AGAIN
when he saw these coleeNs and young

thought he had heard Irish airs, but

A Sermon In RHYME,

Ii you have Il friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
or friend till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one that thrills your heart
Lack the JOY you may impart:
Ii YOU hear Il prayer that moves you
BY it's humble, pleading tone.
Join it. DO not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
Tho strength of two or three" in
prayer?
Ii you see the hot tears falling
From Il brothers weeping eyes.
Stop them. and by kindly sharing
Own your kinslip with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When 4 brothers heart is sad?
If Il silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. TITS the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy place"
There's health and goodness in the
mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
BY n friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness wells the land,
Should brother workman dear
Falter for a word Of cheer?

PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
VIII Not Down Until Settled IN the
RiFht Way.


At meeting of the Century Club of
New York last week, Mr.. Jacob G
Schurman, president of Cornell Uni.
versity, and formerly president of the
Philippine Commission, delivered an
address in the course of which he said
''The Philippine question will not stay
down. Just as it seems to grow Quies.
cent some one stirs it up, or great
events compel us to look at it again.
'sIt is now known to all who follow
the course of Philippine affairs that
the Filipinos are the victims of ia
mine, pestilence, wholesale loss of
farm animals by disease, depression of
agriculture, decline of trade, and dis
astrous arrangement of the currency.
The insular government is purchasing
rice OH the Asiatic continent to fur
nish the Filipinos with the means Of
subsistence, and losses are expected on
the transaction, which, of course, the
Filipino will have to make good by
taxation. The currency and the trade
of the Filipinos are under the control
of congress, but congress last winter
refused to do much for either.
president Roosevelt, too, has COM
PEELED us to think again of the Philip
pine problem. He recently stated that
the flag could no more come down in
the Philippines than it could i'll Alaska.
':Now, where the American flag
goes, it symbolizcS the sovereignty of
the people over whom it waves, and re-
publican government. Hence, if the
flag is to stay in the Philippines, ILL
ION and Visayas, by the logic Of Amer
lean political philosophy, must become
states of the Union, as New Mexico
and Oklahoma and Alaska (when it is
peopledD are bound to be. 1 this re-
suit is not desired. the Filipnos must
either be retained in forcible subjcc-
ton, or given their independence, as
the United States has given indcpend-
cncc to Cuba, and England has given
a not less real independence to Canada
and Australia.
The motive of our fantastic educa-
tional scheme in the Philippines was
to supply the Filipinos with Il common
language. But they do not need !,
common language for the purposes of
instruction. Employ native teachers
and Il few Americans who learn Wis
myan, TagolOg, and other leading dia-
lccts and let the other American teach
crS come home.
".All history shows that il is impos
Sihe to clIlnYr tle language of amy
people.
From the beginning, nature and
history, but now experience. too, cry
against the folly Of .\mcrctnizing or
Anglicizing the Filipinos. Recognize
the men of LllZon and the NiScayans
as fellow Christians, with rights equal
to your own; consult their ideas and
sentiments and do what they want.
and, above all, bear in mind that no
nation can raise another upward, but
at most provide favorable conditions
for it to stand upon its own feet ana
make its own way. DO this say, and
you have the clew, and the only clew.

A Popular Preparation.

One of the best advertised and most pop
ular preparations for the cure OF Nasal
Catarrh and similar troubles is Ely's Cream
Balm. 1t was originated and placed on the
market nearly twenty years ago by firm
of experienced druggists, Ely Brothers,
and their business in this special article
grew to such proportions that they were
Compelled to devote their entire attention to
it. Ely Brothers emphasize the TACT that
if is to the interest OF druggists to supply
Elv's Cream Balm whenever customer
calls for it, or even when simply good
catarrh remedy is asked for. The test of
time has proved that this preparation
ALWAYS gives satisfactory results. 1t is a
uniform preparation, made according to a
scientific formula from the very best quail
ity of drugs. In supplying it to his trade
the druggist does not run the risk OF caus-
ing dissatisfaction, which might occur
Wien the customer is induced to expert
ment with new preparations the merit of
which has not been fully demonstrated.

mere slabs of wood, perhaps eighteen
inches wide, strengthened by a ring on

by leather thongs passed through the
tips of the horns. The hacks resemble
our old fashioned covered sleighs, except
that the runners of these are of wood
alone, and a crowbar rests on the floor
inside for the support of the passen-

the steep streets. The driver carries a

Economical Traffic.

The vessels of the Great Lakes, SAYS
w. ID. Hubert in Frank Leslie's Pop

~ the most economical beasts of burden
That the world has ever seen. Both in
cost OF construction and in expenses of
operation they are considerably cheap
er than ocean ships, and the way they
nave slaShed freight rates has been one
OF the greatest factors in the develop
ment OF the lake region and the upper
Mississippi Valley. 1t costs only about
one-fourth as much to ship bushel of
wheat from Chicago to Buffalo by boat
as 1t does by rail, although the compel
ing railways are among the best built
and best equipped in the country. and
90 their prettiest to get their full share
of the business. But the most impor-
tant item in the lake commerce of the
present day, and the one in which the
majority OF the largest vessels are
engaged, is not the movement of grain,
but the traffic in iron ore between Lake
Superior and Lake Erie. More than
sixteen million tons of ore passed down
the Hay Lake Cut during the season
OF 1900, and 1901 will show a large in
crease over these figures. The prevail
ing rate during the greater part of the
last season OF navigation has been
seventy cents from Marquette, and
eighty from Duluth. This means that
a ton is carried mile for something
less than tenth of cent. No railway
In the world Las ever attempted to
carry sixty million tons of ore per year
distance of eight hundred or a thous
and miles, and in the absence of ex-
perlence it would be difficult to say
what rates might be made if it became
absolutely necessary to move the entire
product of the mines by rail. But the
expense would certainly be several
times as great as it is by water, and in
all probability it would be practically
prohibitory, for it would amount to
nearly, II not quite. as much as the ore
Is now worth at the furnaces.
