A TRIBUTE TO LEO XIII.
A Grand Eulogy Delivered by the
Bishop Of Wheeling.

At the solemn services held mt the
Cathedral in Wheeling, w. Va, in hon
or of the 25tll year in the pontitic:ltr
of Leo Mil, an eloquent discourse was
preached by Bishop Donahuc, who
said in part:
LEO is not only venerable in his
old age: he is venerable as the loving
representative of Il long line. In the
nineteen centuries and more of Chris
tianity he has had two hundred and
siNty-two predecessors The general
average of their rcigns has been much
shortened by the first three centuries
of blood and martyrdGm. being about
seven years. The present Holy Father
has occupied the chair of Peter fer IL
| quarter of Il century. Only three Su-
preme POntiffs have ruled the Church
| of God for longer period. and Leo
still lives. He lives. the great sue
cessor of an illustrious line-the Greg
/ Orys, the Adrians, the Clements. the
Renedicts. the LeOS. the Lrbans. the
Alcxanders, the Johns and a host of
othcrs-saints, doctors, poets. confess
sOrs, martyrs and mighty rulers who
have shed everlasting lustre down
through the centuries upon the Church
of God. Well might Macaul;ly write
that the proudest royal houses are but
of yesterday compared with the line
of the Supreme Pontiffs. That line we
trace back in an unbroken series from
the Pope who crowned Napoleon. in
the nineteenth century, to the Pope
who crowned Pcpin in the eighth: and
far beyond the time of Pepin the au-
gust dynasty extends till it is lost in
the twilight of fable.
''Nor is Leo TO be the last. Our
Catholic faith tells us that whatever
tcmpests roar and clouds lower. what
ever thrones crumbe and dynasties
topple to earth. through storm and
strife, no matter how high and threat
ening the waves mount. the bark of
Peter will breast the pillows. ami
when Leo shall relax his hold on the
helm another hand and another and
another shall grasp it even unto the
contamination of the world"
The Right Rev. Bishop then briefly
Skctched THE Pope's career as bishop,
nunciO. cardinal. as the pelcemaker
between the nations, as the greatest
socologist of his time. as the stern
opponent of slavery in Africa and
Brazil. as one who has ever stood for
the rights of humanity and of labor.

was pure, clearly, honest. gotlly and of
good report. Then followed some brief
personal details of the bishops audi
ences with the Holy Father in 1887
as a simple priest and again as bishop
in 1890, concluding with the hope that
God in His mercy might long spare
him to rule with clemency and undi-
unfinished vigor the Church of God
committed to dis care.

/ have sung of the soldiers glory
AS never shall sing again;
1 have gazed on the shambles CORY
I have smelled of the slaughter-pen.
There is blood in the ink-well clotted.
There are stains ON the laurel-leaf,
And the pages of Fame are blotted
With the tears of needless grief.
The bird is slaughtered for fashion,
And the beast is killed for sport;
And never word of compassion
Is whispered at Nloloch's court.
For the parent seal in the water
Is slain, and her child must die,
That some sister or wife or daughter
Her beauty may beautify.
And the merciful thought we smoth-
For such is the way of man
AS we murder the useless mother
e For the unborn astrallhan.'
But season of rest comes never
For the rarest sport of all;
Will His patience endure forever.
Who noteth sparrows fall?
When the vollcys of hell are sweeping
The sea and the battle plain.
Do you think that our God is sleeping,
And never to wake again?
When hunger ana ravenous fever
Are Staying the wasted frame,
Shall we worship the red deceiver,
The devil that men call Fame?
We may swing the censor to cover
The odor of blood-in vain;

Taft's Mission to Rome.


Washington. May 2O.-The follow
ing official announcement of Governor
Taft's mission to Rome was made pub
lie ut the war department this after
noon:
1t has been decided that Gov. Taft
shall stop at Rome, in the course of
his return journey to Manila, for the
purpose of reaching, if possible, a
friendly understanding with the au-
thorties having control of the DISPOSE
ton of the property of religious orders
and other church property in the Phil
ippines. and laying the basis for a set
Element of the many property ques-
tons which have resulted in the sepa-
| ration Of church and state in the
islands. OF course nothing can actu-
ally be done until congress has acted,
but as the committees of both houses
have acted favorably on the commits
sloner's recommendation for the pur-
chase Of friars' lands, it is thought best
not to lose the opportunity afforded
by Gov. Taft's presence in Europe to
begin the negotiations and make as
much progress as possible, so that
they may be readily closed up after
congress has acted. if it does act favor
ably. This is particularly desirable
| because the nature of the question is
such that it is impossible to settle
them by negotiation with the friars
themselves in the Philippines. The
purchase of the firars' lands is the
principal thing, and the government
desires to accomplish this, if congress
authorizes it, amicably.
There are many other questions,
however, to be settled, such as the
rights to property held for purposes
of instruction and for charitable pur-
poses, and the right of the church to
land, the title to which is now in the
government, but upon which buildings
for religious purposes have been built
Some of these matters could be settled
by the courts. but it would require
many years, and it is very desirable to
settle them in a speedy and friendly
way. Prior to American occupation
the church and state were SO closely
united and their interests 50 inter-
woven that now, when they are sepa-
rated, it is very difficult to tell to
whom the property, which was de-
voted to their joint uses under the for
ner system. belongs
1t is hoped that when full under
standing Of the claims and views of
each side has been reached. and the
facts are fully understood, all the
questions existing can be settled in
such way as to benefit both parties
The object of this conference is to Sc
cure the separation of church and
state, and it would seem to be con-
dition precedent to- such a result.
Gov. Taft's GRAND is not in any
sense a diplomatic mission. 1t is sim
ply business transaction with the
owners Of property. The whole mat
ter is in Gov. Taft's hands, subject to
such action as may be taken on his re-
port pursuant to any law congress
may pass. He will have the assistance
of Judge Smith, of the Philippine SUI
preme Court, who is returning with
Gov. Taft to his post of duty. and
Major John Biddle Porter has been
detailed to act as special secretary to
the governor until he has finished his
work in Rome.

Colombian Generals Had Been Tried
 by Court Martial.
 PANAMA, Aug. 6.-The revolution ary generals Antonio Suarez Lacroiz and Juan Vidal and Colonel Julian Locama, who were sentenced to death by g court martial composed of gov ernment representatives, have been killed by shooting at Barrigona camp, which is situated between Honda and Ambalema, on the Magdalena river. Other revo1utionists were condemned by the same court to various terms of Imprisonment, the longest of which is for twenty-five years.
 General Salazar, governor of Pana- ma, has received a telegram from the Colombian minister of war, General Aristides Fernandez, saying the recent amnesty decree issued by the presi- dent of the republic, under which all the constitutional guarantees were granted to those revolutionists who surrendered within a specified time, has resulted in making a few mem bers of the Liberal party believe in the weakness of the government.
 At Palma band of revolutionists refused to submit to the government, and General Perdomo, with a strong force, was sent against them. The government soldiers surrounded the ,revolutipnists and after hard resist ance the latter were captured.

Superintend- ent Rose says the company has been putting and loading coal at this mine for two weeks. The coal is now being hoisted and sent through the breaker. The company will, not give out the. humber of men who are working. This makes three collieries now in operation in this city. The other two are the Ox-a ford of the Peoples Coal company and the Oayuga of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western. Superintendent Tobey of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western said that his company will start up another colliery at once. The strikers are making no very serious ef- fort to prevent men from working at these collieries.

TROOPS KEEP PEACE
An Uneasy Feeling Prevails
 About Shenandoah.
ADDITIONAL MEN MAY BE CALLED OUT

Arrest and Commf tment of Two
 Wounded Rioters Accomplished
 by Officers Under Strong Guard.
 Some Mines Are Started Up. SHENANDOAH, .Pa., Aug. 6.-The peace of this troop protected town re- mains unbroken. The unsettled feel tng which has been apparent for the last few days, however, continues.
 Yesterday was a lively one at bri- gade headquarters, where all the staff officers were kept busy ill connection with the movement of the troops. and In keeping in touch with the situation In the entire county. There were many eumors of trouble; but, excepting at Girardyille, where a workman was shot and slightly injured, nothing of a serious nature occurred anywhere. Brigadier General Gobin was unusual ly, alert, however, .al>1 kept soldiers in readiness for instant use all day long. Many stories of threatened trou- ble reached him, but he was able in every instance to run them down with out sending out detail of men.
 Officers around headquarters feel that the tension is increasing and would not be surprised if some of the troops now in camp here we're sent into the surrounding region. The brigadier general says he will not send for addi- tional men until there is need for them. It is not unlikely, however, that n battery and anoth |. troop of cavalry will be in the field by the end of the week.
 Probably the most important devel- Dpment in the Shenandoah region was the arrest and commitment to the county jail of two wounded Lithuani- ms who participated in the riot of last Wednesday,.
 The arrests were attended with con- siderable show of military force, they be-g taken into custody by constables who were surrounded by platoon of infantrymen and marched through the streets under a strong guard. The prisoners are Antony Klimovitz and Stanislaus Zukowsky. Each had been shot in the foot during the riot and was unable to walk, They were locat- ed in boarding house in the heart of the foreign quarter of the town The constables feared that trouble would ensue if, they attempted. to make the arrests themselves, and upon their suggestion General Goblin sent a pla- toon of Company of the Twelfth regi- nent to protect them.
 The three men were held in $2,OOO bail each, and in default they were taken to the jail at Pottsville.

Written By 8 Soldier and Lives After
 He Died
 One of the old patriotic songs that has outlivedAhnost of it's competitors land seems likely to last for all time is The Flag of the Free,' said q music publisher, ssand it has a little history of it's own. For one. thing, it was composed under circumstances which ought to give it the right kind of a ring.
 Harrison Willard composed It when the Civil war was at its height Willard had enlisted in one of the Mas sachusetts volunteer regiments. He had just returned from an extended tour through Europe, where he had studied music and shad appeared as concert singer. He fought bravely at the front and rose to the rank of colo mel; and in odd moments he used to write music. One day ne finished new composition which he named -sTha Flag of the Free and gave 1t to a regimental band to play. It became very popular with the men in the regiment, and at their request was often played when they were on the march.
 When Harrison's regiment was re- viewed at Washington by President Lincoln that was the air it's band play ed. The bandsmen put their whole souls into their playing that day and the melody sounded exceptionally fine. Mr Lincoln's son who was standing on the white house steps with his father, asked the president:
 Dad, what is the tune that regi- mental band from Massachusetts is playing?'
 .'Mr Linco1n's fancy had been caught by the air too. He asked Colonel Mill lard about it, and, on learning that it was his own, complimented him on it.
 Willard died in this city about three years ago, poor and practically un- known. He was not buried with mili- tary honors, for few remembered his services to his country. But his mem ory will live in that song he wrote. After the war he held an. office in the custom. house until Cleveland's second term, when he was discharged. He told me once that it was through Lin- coln's influence that he got the job I published another of Mil1ard's conn positions called When the Tide Comes h. but it will never equal The Flag of the Free in popularity and endur- sance.
