Mr. Sweeney's address was a model of its
kind. He said:
I'VE have gathered here this lovely aft
ernoon from the different parishes OF this
city. with representatives from various par
tshes throughout the diocese OF Indianapo-
lis. 10 lay at the feet OF his Lordship Rt.
Rev. F. g. Chatard, the tribute of the crate
ful Eearts OF his children. We come to ex-
tend our sincere congratulations at the ap-
preaching close of the twenty-fifth year
OF his episcopate.
ION next Tuesday will occur the anniyer-
sary OF that extraordinary event He came
TO us IN the meridian of his manhood but
the quarter century I'm which he has ar
duously labcred for our spiritual well-be-
ing has left its unmistakable impress upon
him. OF him II may well be said that he
has proven himself the pastor bonus, the
good shepherd. Using the words of the

NEW LUsTRE
HE has added new lustre to the Iabors of
his sainted predecessors in this diocese. His
most absorbing interest has been the ex-
tending of Gods kingdom on earth.
The life OF a Catholic priest is one Of
great labor and self-sacrifice: a life ami
mated by charity and directed by evangeli-
cal prudence. II Is a life. when properly
lived. that seeks earthly rewards. but
tolls on unfalteringly. soothed and sustained
by the hope OF securing that peace which
this world can neither give nor take from
him. IL Is the sacred duty Of the man
to mirror morality. to lead to a better
world and 10 pave the way.
Have you ever stopped to think what
would be the depths or depravity TO which
men would sink by the withdrawal of the
lessons and the restraints which our moral
teachers and leaders are constantly pre-
sentihg and urging for the betterment OF
AVENUES TO EVIL.
How appalling 10 think of the avenues
TO evil being paved for passion and pur-
suit. 1t Il our bounden duty to honor
and support our spiritual directors those
who comfort the widow and the orphan.
who brush the tear OF anguish from the
cheek OF dispair and comfort the last mo-
ments OF the departing soul. The highest
good OF a nation Is its moral and religious
culture. and these secure through our
Religious teachers.
cit is .eminently proper. therefore. that
Ee should pay this respectful homage TO
our venerable jubilarian on the attain.
ment of his silver jubilee, and to thank
Kind Heaven for having bounteously length
ened his life TO celebrate this auspicious
day"

Tox,n Menaced by Forest Fires.

JOHNSTOwN. Pa. May 10.-One of the
ffercest and most damaging forest fires in
the history of the Allegheny mountains has
been raging since early this morning about
Dunlo, the big coal and lumber town in
this county. AT $50 o'clock tonight much
apprehension is felt for the safety of sew
eral camps Of lumbermen working for
Kuhns and Goodwin. who were in the great
district which had been swept by the flames.
Some of them may have perished. They
would have to flee from the camps ahead
of the fire and as no tidings have been re-
ceived from them there Is much alarm.
The flames came toward Dunlo with ter
rible fury and at noon. every man, woman
and child in Dunlo was out doing every
thing possible to save the town from de-
struction. After hours of fighting the prog
ress of the flames were checked but ii will
require vigilance all night to keep II under
control.

candidate"
PRESENT PROPOSITION.
The proposition now is: "Can the ma
chine control the organization Of the new
committees and. if not, can 1t control the
nomination for mayor?" It's answer has
been made. Joseph Z. Bell, the machine
candidate for mayor, has been given the
use OF the old organization. If Keach is
defeated it means Bells victory, for he
has stated in a public interview that he
felt he had a right TO ask-as he had asked
men TO stand for committeeman In the
precincts. Kern, the machine candidate, Is
not asking that much. The machines an
swer is that il regards the organization as
absolutely necessary for the success OF Bell
and consequently is making its tight for
control. Its defeat is conceded to mean
the end of Bell. Back of Bells candidacy Is
the power of control which Taggart seeks
to keep. He must keep Ii. keach's night
is against him. No matter how much
Keach may intend not TO hurt Taggart.
his victory will be the worst blow ever
delivered to Taggart. Back OF Tagsart Is

state organization. and menaced with rout
If the master hand is defeated in his own
garden spot. If Taggart cannot control

feet, because 1t destroys confidence In his
state machine and gives the Big -Four
the contest, whether he will or no, whether
Keach will or no, and he must retain con-
troll.
TALK OF BOLTING.
Both factions talk of bolt Reach men
say they will abide by the result If there
is no .'unfairness" in the primaries. and in
the same breath they charge the machine
with all the unfair practices possible.
Many of them seem to be prepared for the
result and ready to bolt In the machine
ranks are those who refuse to accept a
bolter of 1896 under any pretext. They say
his success means the beginning of series
of revolutions to eradicate the silver ele-
ment and "reorganize" the party. There
is even said to be a letter in existence
written by Kern, in which he intimates
this bolt by asking If the 10000 men who
were loyal to Bryan in Indianapolis can
be made TO follow the leadership of Reach.
No one suggests that Kern would lead a
bolt. but that expression and similar one
in a published interview are taken to mean
that he looks for such calamity.
The next four days will be days of
strenuous work. Both factions are making
many meetings are being held each night
and all the resources of each is being en-
ployed. 1t Is a fight to finish and the
machine must win or pass into oblivion,
for the ascendancy of a new man like
Reach under the present conditions would
mean the utter destruction of the machine
When the smoke of battle has cleared
away at the end Of the week the victorious
faction will have control and will face 1.-The
common enemy with only half an army
and inevitable defeat. If the judgment of
disinterested observers amounts to any
thing. 1t will be hollow victory for
concerned, for the party is Eow hope
leSsly divided over the question Of control.

HALF CENTURY OF WORK.
NH . NJ. KING COMPLETES FIFry
YEARS OF SERVICE
Has Risen from the Hanks-Now Super-
tnsendent OF the shops where He
Began His Career as Boy.

mr.. o. II. King. superintendent Of
the Baltimore and OhIc Railroad COM
panys shops ia this city Sunday
completed a hall cennrv or service
with the Baltimore a. Ohio road and is
today quietly celebrating the fiftieth
anniversary of tue beginning of his
career with that road.
The event is an important and inter-
esting one in the life of Mr. King,
and he may well feel no light deglee
of pardonable nride in rounding ont
his hale century of con inuous service.
Mr.. King came to Martinsburg
from Harper's Fer. where he was
born. He was 10 years old when he
reached this city. aud from that day
to this has been constantly employed
with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
On August 81, 1858. Mr.. King en-
tered the employ of that company as
machinist's apprentice in the shops
in this city, when the late Master
Mechanic William Edwards was at the
mead of the shops. After eight years
here he was transferred to the Mount
Glare shops at Baltimore. and for
forty wears was one of the well known
men there. Eighteen years ago he was
promoted to foremanship in the
bridge building department, with head.
quarters at Baltimore. When the shops
were reopened here be was sent to this
place to organize them and place them
in running order, and was then made
superintendent. After fifty years of
continuous service Mr.. King is now
chief of the shops where he began his
career as boy.
SO far as is known, there is no one
in the employ of the Baltimore q
Ohio Co. who was in the service when
Mr.. King began his career half a
century ago. Mr.. King was married
in Baltimore in 1866 to Miss Mary A..
Hall, of that city. Although they
have no children their married life has
bttD al taOby INV, w. anu
Mr.. and Mrs. King are as devoted to
each other as in the days of their
courtship. Mrs. King naturally takes
great interest and pride in the splen-
did and enviable record of her hus-
band.
Although he had reached the limit
of service to retire from active work
and is in his 10th year, Mr.. King has
no intention of giving nm his work,
and as he is man of unusual yigoI
aud activity he bids fair to remain
many more years in harness. He has
been the recipient of many kilograms
and messages Of congratultaion from
prominent officials of the road.
One of the letters received bv Mr..
King from well-known official spoke
of his record as magnificent one
without blemish. 4"
