A Strange Conversion.

The story of d remarkable conversion
is told in the Missionary Record of the
Oblates of Mary for the current month.
by priest who signs himself IL. C. P.
+. 1t occurred many years ago in
Dublin, when the narrator was at
tracted by the gathering of d crowd in
Sackville street and found it had COL
lected to watch poor man fallen in a
fit. 1t was evident from his style of
dress that he was a gentleman, but as
no one could identify him, his religion
of course remained unknown. Under
these circumstances, the priest gave
him conditional absolution, had cab
called, and sent him to the JerVls
street hospital. He tells the sequel as
follows: "On the following day, l was
told that a gentleman was in the parlor
who wished to speak to me. On going
to see him, he told me he had not sent
me his card because l did not know
him. He then told me that he was the
same who had a fit on the previous day
in Sackville street, and that l had done
something TO him before | had either
taken or sent him q forgot which, to
the hospital. He continued his relation
by begging me to tell him what | had
done for him. After / had explained
what was meant by the condition abb
solution and the sign of the cross which
was made over him. he concluded by
first thanking me and the good Sisters
of Mercy who had so kindly nursed
him, and then asking me to give him
the necessary instructions, as he was
determined to become member of the
Catholic church. | found that he be-

firms of Dublin, and to a family that
was conspicuous among the proselytiz- |

gave him conditional baptism and as
he remained in Dublin for more than |
a year subsequent to that time, 1 had I
ample opportunities of knowing that
he became a model, practical Catholic, |
and he assured me that although pre-
vious to his conversion he had been
subject to epileptic attacks, sometimes
as often as two or three times week,
he had never once been troubled in
that way since I had done something
to him as he lay on the ground in

NO USE FOR THE BrLI,

Washington, March 29.-President
Roosevelt, in conference with Senator
hanshrough, Representatives Metcalf.
Moody and Reeder, today expressed
Strong opposition to the feature of the
general irrigation bill providing for
state control of appropriation, distribu-
tlon and use of water from irrigation
works to be constructed under the pro
Visions of the proposed law.
Inc president said he believed federal
cohtrol should govern entirely and fed
eral supervision will be essential TO
the success of the national aid to irri
cation.
Senator Hansbrough told the presi-
oent he was originally opposed to state
control, but after hearing a full dis
cusslon of the question in meetings
heio by western members, when the
Dill was framed, he came to The con-
cIuslon that 1t was a proper provision

prevail even If the section in question
were stricken from the bill because
congress had given assent to the Con-
sututlonal provisions granting state.

There is not provision in the seq
ton of the bill which provided for state
control of waters that was not sup-
gested by the presidents message. The
portion OF the section which directs tbe
secretary of the interior to proceed
under state laws is in harmony witb
tne presidents views as expressed in

sary. Without this provision the sec
retary of the interior would be power

The Burial Of self-murdererg.

! Since the spoiIation of Rome by the
Sandman, suicide has become almost
an epidemic, and scarcely day passes
without bringing its record of some
unfortunate who, weary of life's battle,
has presumed on Gods mercy by go
ing uncalled into his presence.
Being requested few years ago to
give a decision upon the question:
Should a Christian burial be given to
suicides?" the sacred congregation of
rites first called attention to the gem
eral law observed in such cases, which

suicide was committed through despair
or madness, Christian burial may be
given, but seldom funeral services must
be refused.
When certitude exists that madness
was the cause of self-destruction.
Christian burial and seldom funeral
services may be granted.

PRAY For the Priests

Once in the Ember season a servant
of God saw Jean Jacques Olier cele-
brating mass, and was led to pray for
him. all through that holy sacrifice.
that the priest then offering it might
attain to perfect union with God and
that he might become a great captain
in the army of Christ, to marshal SOL
diers in his service. Such should be
our prayers for priests always.
