Tobacco Notes.

FL. S. McGiffin has been looking after
tobacco interests in Vernon county this
week.
H. G. Kinefelter & Son of Deerfield
will begin sorting tobacco for farmers
February 1st.
Cap. Campbell and Henry Friedman
of Chicago were visitors in this market
a short time during the week.
Mr. J. E. Hiestand, who died at his
home near Madison last week, was the
first to plant tobacco in Wisconsin, hav-
ing raised crop near Seyene in 1858.
Some excellent money yields are re-
ported this season. The Viroqua Censor
says: s.The largest crop to be yet deliv-
cred was from the farm of Mrs. III. N.
Preus. It was ten acres, 14,879 pounds,
and the contract price was straight Ii
cents, bringing in clean cash S1,934.27.
Melvin Kingslin marketed three acres,
$685. pounds, at IL cents, netting $5S6.85.
Gilbert Gilbertson of Brooklyn from 81
acres delivered received a check for
81, 467.O5.
At A. O. Helgeson's warehouse the new
Dahl patent sizing machine is in opera
ton. Mr.. Dahl has materially simplified
the machine as compared with the first
one constructed two years ago. In its
yet somewhat crude shape, three operat-
ors can size and tie one thousand pounds
of tobacco. This is average work for
four or five sorters. 1t is believed a
speed will be attained of 1900 to 1000
when fully perfected. With this accom-
plished the implement would recommend
itself to all packers.-Viroqua Censor.

HOW AN FRESHMAN
CAPTURED A LORD

Mr.. H. B. Ryan, Thurles man, who
fought with other Tipperary men in
the Irish brigade with the Beers, writes
from Chicago to the editor of the
Clonmel Nationalist as follows: Il de-
sire to thank you for your kind men
ton of me in saying that 1 partici-
pated in the clever capture of an Eng
lish lord, but I'm only sorry did not,
and we must give honor to whom
honor is DUE and this honor is due to
William Dwyer of Newhill. Two Mile
Boris, of our own county. The cap
ture of Lord Rosslyn and two compan-
ions came about in this wise: After
the retreat through the Free State, and
we had crossed the Vaal river, DWyer
got sick with a fever. We put him
in the ambulance train, much against
his wishes, but on saying he could
come out in the morning, he was salts
fed. The train pulled out the same
day with Dwyer aboard for Johannes
burg. He stayed there a few days and
getting anxious as to where we were
started out looking for US, but he went
in the wrong direction. We were be-
fore johannesburg, and he took the
road for Elandsfontein, arrived there
to find the Roxburgh commando in
battle with French's right. French
was turning our flank to run US from
before johannesburg. Dwyer fell in
with them, but Commandant Grobler
ordered him to take back two mule
wagons toward Pretoria. Dwyer start
ed, in command of about six Kaffirs,
and coming toward Nelsfontein, no.
ticed three horsemen away out on the
veldt. He made the Kaffirs lash the
mules and got behind kopje. In the /
meantime he placed himself in po
sition in the road to command the en- |
trance between the hills, and the i
horsemen came trotting along, uncon |
scious of a 'hold-up.' and congratulat |
ing themselves on being the first to en- |
ter Pretoria. When DWyer yelled !
Hands up up they went; 'Dismount,' |
and down they came. Forward, and I
they went forward, with Dwyer in
possession of the horses. Dwyer then
put Lord Rosslyn and his companions
on a wagon, and brought them to Pre-
toria a week before the occupation by
the English. This capture of three
men was small in comparison to some
made by individuals. One boy, the son
Of Sayman, of Cape Colony, alone cap

ABOUT JUDAS IscAR1or.
Common Tradition That He Made a
sacrilegious Communion Analyzed.

! S'N@ N@AAeS AOus inLuu4oA Aua1yzed.
A correspondent of the American Ec-
clesiastical Review writes it:
AT a recent retreat given to the
| clergy, / was somewhat surprised to
hear it stated by the father that it is
the opinion of modern Biblical critics
| that Judas neither made the sacrilegious
communion, nor was he raised in the
dignity of the priesthood. The latest
conclusion would seem to be that Ju-
das left the supper room before the
conservation, and was absent when our
Lord conferred on the disciples the dig
nifty of the priesthood May 1 ask
what is to be said in support of this
opinion, which runs counter to a COM
mon tradition that Judas did make
sacrilegious communion, and was or
dained a priest?"
That sterling periodical makes the
answer:
The common tradition that Judas
did make a sacrilegious communion
cannot be shown to rest upon any de-
duction from scriptural sources. Mod
ern eXegetes greatly differ in their in
depreciation of the passages in the Sny-
optics referring to the moment when
Judas left the cenacle. Knabenbauer,

the manenr in which the ancient text

its side the testimony Of the So-called
Apostolic Constitutions, and that of ST
Ephrem, S. Asphraates (Jac. Nisb.), ST.

FRANCE AND UNITED STATES
NOW LEAD IN CoLoNIzATIoN.

The expansion process is on. Last
amcng the great powers the United
States entered into the great world
wide contest of the nations. But our
country has gone into the business to
some purpose, and already controls
many formerly foreign territories, ac-
quired from Spain by war; from abor-
iginal inhabitants by an international
compact of addition, diversion and 81
lence," and from the former republic of
Hawaii, with the consent of it's govern
ment Russia and Great Britain have
long been mighty rivals in the great
game of territorial aggrandizement.
They have an exceedingly formidable
competitor in France. Since the repub-
lie was prostrate before the German in
vaders she has become mighty terri
torial power. She controls all Africa
from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of
Guinea excepting only the Spanish
territories on the edge of the Sahara
and the Spanish settlements in Moroc-
co; the small British possessions in
Sierra Leone, Ashantee and along the
Gold coast, and the independent states
of Morocco and Liberia. Morocco is re-
garded as certain of influence, if, in
deco, it does not become, like Algeria,
an integral part of the republic. But
some statesmen who have carefully
studied the Liberian situation believe
that the United States government will
yet become either suzerian, protector
or even proprietor of the Liberian re-
public. 1t is unnecessary to speak of
the extensive territories controlled by
France along the Congo, and on the
Red sea, nor to mention the huge island
OF Madagascar and French Asia, which !
has so, coo people and many hundreds
of thousands of square miles. The |
great Bismarck, stirred to action by /!
French territorial aggression, started !.
German land hunting sixteen years |
ago, with the result that the German !
empire now controls vast territories in I
East and West Africa, the Cameroons, |
half of the great island of New Guinea, |
half Samoa, and all that part of Span
sh Oceanica not gotten away with by |
the United States. The United States /
was not an early entry, but she is not |

Danish West Indies are the subject of |
7ormal negotiations. Representative

admission of that important possession
Is a state and the new Nicaraguan
anal treaty has many other possibili-
les. The wisdom of the policy of ex-
lansion may long be the subject of po-
itical discussion, and the final decision
nay not now be accurately predicted.

HERO OF THE FAITH.
Priest Who Prevented Panic While
His. Altar Was Afire.


The coolness of a priest at Kanosha,
Wis, saved St. James church from
destruction by fire and prevented a
panic, while the New Years mass was
being celebrated. The church was
crowded. When the priest was at the
main altar the decorations in front Of
ST. Joseph's altar caught fire and be-
gan to burn. Many in the congrega-
tion started on a run for the door,
but the priest signaled the choir to
continue the music, and he proceeded
with the mass, many of the people
kneeling at his example. A number of
men near the front of the church
rushed into the chancel and eXtinguish-
ed the flames. The altar was badly
damaged, and the large arch in front
of 1t was destroyed.
Father H. j. Roche pastor of st.
James church, is one of the best known
priests in the Milwaukee diocese. He
has been in charge of leading churches
in Wisconsin, and has been at st.
James church nine years.
While he has been in charge of the
Kenosha church he has not received
one cent of salary, but at each annual
meeting of the board he has urged the
trustees to apply the amount due him
toward paying the debt of the church.
A short time ago, when the members
of the church were making an effort
to raise the debt from the church,
Father Roche presented the congrega-
ton with his savings of 81, 700.

TERMouNTAN AND COLORADO CATHOLIC: JANUARY H. 1902


and Worcester, in the Introduction to
their recently issued report say:
While Mr. Worcester was engaged
in gathering information as to theipeo-
pies of the Philippines and the physical
characteristics and resources of the va
rlous islands, members of the Jesuit
Order were repeatedly requested to ,tes-
tffy before the commission. 1t was sug-
gested by them that such information
as they were able to furnish would be
of more permanent value if embodied
in formal papers upon the various sub
Jects under consideration. An arrange
ment to this end was accordingly en-
tered into with them by Mr.. Worcester,
whereby it was agreed that they should
furnish treatises on the following sub
Jects: Geography, photography. geog-
ncsy, photography, geography, clima-
tclcgy, cyclical variation of terrestrial
magnetism, seismic foci. ethnography.
chrography, state of culture, chronol-
ogy. The papers as finally re-
ceiyed cover a wide field. In many in
stances the subject matter and the
method employed in treating it have
been such that they could be freely
translated and utilized as they stood
While the papers on climatolo-
gy, cyclical variation of terrestrial
magnetism and seismic foci are some
what technical, the information con-
tanned in them is so extensive, detailed
and accurate, and much of it is of so
much practical value, that it has been
thought it should be published in full,
and thus be made available for pur-
poses of reference
The commission wishes to express
its Indebtedness to the fathers of the
Jesuit Order at Manila for the whole
admirable series of treatises which have
made available a large body of infor-
nation, not little of which is new,
and much of which could not possibly
have been gathered by us in the time

SUPPORT OF RELIGION.
Excuses Many Give to Delay Com

assumption that the Church has strict

make appeals; that her title to support
rests upon charity and not upon JUS
tice. Assuredly the Church is not dis
posed to urge her demands by force.
no more than to enforce obedience to
the ten commandments by the aid of
the sword; but she gives no semblance
of assent to the heresy that her ma
terial support is to be derived from the
occasional offerings of a whimpering
generosity.
Financial support of religion is i'm
piled in the first and greatest COM
mandment. God is to be adored by
sacrificial worship as we'll as by faith
and prayer. The discharge of this fun
damental duty naturally involves
everything essential to the appropriate
expression of becoming sacrifice. This
divine injunction, therefore, carries
with it the imperative necessity Of sup
plying suitable places of worship and

tice. In issuing a special precept on !
the support of pastors (meaning every
thing pertaining to external worship) ]
the Church merely emphasizes a COM |
mandment as old as religion itself
To put the claims of religion last of |
all to offer God crumbs from sumptu-
ously supplied tables, to proffer Him
a percentage in the possibilities of for

to remember that the claims of the

as other obligations; that these claims
are to be paid not merely from the
ample means of the rich. but also from
the slender incomes of the struggling.
