1--WE ought to have our churches

l was stopping at a seaside hotel, and
there met a lady who was Roman
Catholic, and she was never tired of
impressing upon me her own peculiar
religious views. l asked her how it
came about that she had been convert
ed to the Catholic Church for she had
been a Presbyterian. She said that
years before her husband lay sick I'M
to death. The physician had given
up hope. and she desired to go to the
Great Physician and pray for her
husbands restoration. But she could
not pray at home. So, leaving her
husbands bedside, she started out for
church. But she found the churches
closed. Presently she came to
Catholic Church. which was open.
She entered, and there prayed for her
husbands recovery. He grew better,
and now both are devoted members of
the Catholic Church. Doubtless they
would have remained in their own
church if she had found Presby-

pressed the belief that the United
States would become Il Catholic conn

view in answer to that statement.
President Eliot of Harvard, said
that 1.-THE only way this could
happen would be by immigra-
ton and according to the number
of Catholics who came here last
year, that process would be very
SLOW" He said. ut is a well-known
fact that Protestants outnumber Cath

Eliot regards every one not Il Catho.

statement would be untrue, for the
Catholics constitute about one-seventh
OF the population Of the United States,

The Mary Mass.

What our forefathers believed, says
the Rev. Canon Connolly, in his ar
ticle on ancient Devotions in Eng
land" with regard to the Blessed Vir-
gin may be summed up in one sent
ence: "Mary is the Mother of Cod"
Every village church, however
small, had it's altar in honor Of the
Blessed Virgin. In our cathedrals and
stately minister's, behind the choir and
high altar, was the Lady chapel, to
the extreme east, symbolizing her as
the morning star that heralded the
coming day. AS book printed in
1881 has it: Like as the morning COM
eth before the sun rising, and divideth
the night from the day, so the Virgin
Mary rose as the morning before the
sun of Justice, and divided the state
of grace from the state of sin, the
children of God from the children of
darkness. Whereupon the Church
singeth to her praise that her glorious
life gave light to the world, and H.
Illuminated all the Church and congre-
cations of faithful people,"
The supreme act of all Christian
worship is the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass, says the Annals of Our Lady of
the Sacred Heart. 1t is, and can be,
offered to God alone; but it may be,
and ought to be offered to Him,
among other things, in praise and
Thanksgiving for the graces and glories
of His saints, and most of all for those
of His Blessed Mother. In old Catho-
lie days a Mass was offered to God
every day, in almost every church and
chapel throughout the land, in honor
of the Blessed Virgin. 1t was cele-
brated at the earliest dawn, with the
utmost solemnity, with organ and
choristers. chanting the sweetest and
most learned music of those times.
'Thus in England as the late DR..
Rock wrote in his "Church of Our
Fathers ''time was when notes of
praise arose from the earth to heaven
at the first streak of dawn; not only
from wood and void, poured forth by
soulless birds of the air, but from out
the thronged city and the busy town
(wherein church steeples We're then
taller and more beautiful and more
numerous than workshop chimneys),
and from out the smallest village;
time was when the Ginning of st.
Mary's bell at waking day awakened

of God and sing His praises"

The automobile race in Ireland was
an event of international interest not
only in sporting but in an industrial
way. No sporting event, except per-
haps the races between American and
British yachts, exceeds in Importance
this contest. 1t was an industrial
competition between representative
machines of the United States, Eng
land, France and Germany. The cars
selected to represent the respective
countries We're the best product of
each country in that line. Ireland was
selected for the competition, because
the physical conditions there are al
most perfect for such contests. The
course selected starts about thirty
miles from Dublin and runs over a
smooth country. 1t measures some
thing over 1868 miles. The first race
was held in 1900 and was run in
France, the course being from Paris
to Lyons. In that race only French
cars competed. The trophy contested
for is the international challenge cup
presented by James Gordon Bennett in
1900 to the Automobile Club of
France. Last year the cup was cap
tured by an English car.

The Republican convention held in

can convention held in that state tor
thirty years, at which d. B. Henderson
was not a prominent figure. He is
now at his old home in Dubuque, but
next fall he will remove to New York
and open law Office. He hopes to fol-
low in the path Of his predecessor, Tho
mas B. Reed, and acquire sufficient
means to keep him and his family and
then retire. This was the hope and ex-
pectation of Reed. He made the
money, but died before retiring. He
has told his neighbors in Dubuque
that his absence from there will be
only temporary. Mr.. Henderson has
in all probability achieved as great
political success as is for him possible
He was born in Scotland and could
not therefore be president of the

Allison and Dolliver are alive there
is little hope for him to reach the
Senate, even though he should so de-
sire.

The board of charities and correc-
tons is the most important board of
our city government. 1t should be
composed of hard working intelligent
and public spirited citizens. The men,
bers of the board receive no compen-
sation, and whether or not there is any
honor connected with the position, de-
ponds upon the ability, industry and
integrity with which it's members per-
form their work. We cannot believe
that amy person capable of filling the
position of member OF that board
would urgently seek the position. To
fill the position acceptal;ly requires
ability Of the highest character and an
unseltish public spirit possessed by but
few. Mayor Haynes is now called
upon to appoint two members to that
board. These appointments will char
acterize his administration more than
any other appointment that he has
made, with the possible exception of
his chief of police. The Irish Stand
ard has no candidate to urge and
hopes that the appointments which the
mayor may make will add to the credit
of his administration. The work of the
board is becoming every year more i'm
portant and there are matters that
now call for intelligent and aggressive
action.
