Bishop Grafton OF the Episcopal

so. Rev. Jewell, of Fond du Lac, Wis.,

objection to the title. Archbishop
Rogers says: 1.-The term Lord is one
Of general significance. There are
lords temporal and lords spiritual.
Surely If it is proper to address one
as Lord because of his position under
an earthly King, there can be nothing
unbecoming in calling one Lord who
occupies an Office under the King OF

They are still discussing the school
ious fact that wherever British Prot
estants are in the ascendancy, or in
the majority, the religious rights of
Catholics are ruthlessly trampled
upon. The members of Henry Wits

is the spiritual head, are always re-
man Catholics when the latter are
in the minority. There is no estab

"A clergyman of the English Church
recently applied to a magistrate for
summonses to arrest three men who
had become Jesuits within the United
Kingdom in violation of statute of
George Nv. The magistrate refused to
issue them on the ground that said
statute was practically obsolete. An
appeal from his ruling has been taken
to the kings bench, the clergyman's
attorney having argued that no statute
could he repealed by becoming obse-
lete. The attorney appears to be
right. Statutes made in the reign Of
Edward III. are being enforced in
Ireland to-day, on the ground that
they have not been repealed by the
British parliament.

A Pathetic Incident.

On Saturday evening l was passing
up Bridge street, Waterford, says an
Irish-American traveller. At the door
of the Dominican Church 1 met an old
woman, who asked me for copper
l addressed her in Irish, and she
answered in the same language, Of
which she had a fine command.
1 got into talk with her. She told me
she had three children. Two were
sons. and were serving in the war in
South Africa; one was daughter, who
had been house maid in London, but
had recently gone to Australia. The
old woman was quite alone, and found
it hard to make out living. She said
her three children were Irish speaking.
These three children are now COM
pletely lost to Ireland, and the old
woman, with her splendid command Of
Irish, and her stock of old lore and
wise sayings, and her inherited culture,
is but waiting for her release. This is
the way the Gael is passing every day.
An Irishman's home is any place but
in Ireland. There are none being left
to carry on the old traditions, to speak
the old language, to save vthe old Gull
ture. The language is flowing like an
ebbing tide, and leaving behind dry.

shall we have to wait until we see the
awful havoc that is being wlought?
AS this lonely old woman described ::
her absent daughter to me- in her beau

Under natural circumstances the
daughter should be living here in Wa.

mothers old speech. and handing
down to the next generation her moth :.

Is it that now she has become heart

remove unpopular officials abroad

penalty as is melted out to Italian or
Russian anarchists" The correspond

Young Wetmore, who goes as one
of the secretaries of the special en-
bassy to King Edwards coronation,
is the son of an American lady who
once snubbed the Anglo-Saxon mon
arch when he was Prince of Wales.
Being model of female beauty, "the
bald-headed roue" cast his lascivious
eye upon young Wetmore's mother,
and expressed desire to become ac-
quainted with her. She was invited
to dine with him, and replied: please
express my thanks to the Prince of
Wales for his invitation. but say to
him that American ladies do not usu-
ally dine with men whom they have
not met, and add that the invitation
does not seem to include my husband,
who happens. quite by accident, of
course, to be with me-" The Prince
of Wales did not invite her any more.

Why Men Do Not Attend Church.

The Trades Council of New Haven.
Conn.,. recently addressed a circular to
the Protestant ministers of that CITY
who had been discussing the question.
why Men Do Not Attend Church"
and said:
For the last few years we have had
an epidemic of sermons ON why Men
Do Not Attend Church, and many re-
plies have been given to that question,
the large majority of them being to
the effect that ministers, as rule.
do not support the people as against
monopoly, and that the church is u.s.
ually on the side of plutocracy and
greed. The common people in the
city are at present demanding a small
part of their God-given right to inherit
the earth. The issue is as clear as
day; one between the rights Of the
people versus corporate greed; and
what part have you taken in it? With
some notable exceptions the clergy of
the city are with the professors, bank.
ers, lawyers and the so-called cultured
element.
1--WE, therefore, as the representatives
OF those whom the Man of Galilee
loved, deem it our duty to call your
attention to the fact that in some wav
you have become divorced from the
position taken by Him. He worked
for the poor; you are always on the
side Of the rich. He had no place
to lay His head; you have elegant
furnishings. We believe that when
some man gets something for nothing.
some other man must produce some
thing and get nothing in return. There
fore, reverend sirs, believing and
knowing these things and at the same
time watching your attitude toward
them, can you blame us for not sun
porting the institution that is so clearly
opposed to justice, humanity and
brotherhood?"

which he is greatly attached, into
a British lion. This so amused Bow
man, who is a pro-Boer, that he
laughed heartily and treated his

Commenting on Gen. Bells concen-

leading Spanish newspaper in Cuba
says with less poetry than truth:

the RECOMMENDATION system under
Weyler! How humane, how charit-
able. how sensitive were those Anglo
SaXons! And what savages, what

The Catholic population of the
United States is still a conundrum
The official Catholic directory for
1901 makes it 1O,774,933, but the re-
turns were incomplete. Now comes
DR.. Carroll, of the Census Bureau at
Washington, and says it was only
9,15S,471 last year. His figures are
entirely too low. If the full returns
could be obtained the present Catho-
lie population would go up several
millions. In his address at Dubuque
last year, Archbishop Ireland est.
mated the Catholic population at A.
100000, and he is much nearer the
mark than the compilers of statistics.
Some systematic plan should be
adopted to get Mt the exact figures.

Z 1t is the opinion of those who are
