Governor Odell of New York, and
Governor Durbin of Indiana, who were
in such ugly temper at st. Louis last
week, because Of alleged neglect shown
to them by the committee in charge of
arrangements Of the ceremonies attend
ing the dedication of the st. Louis ex-
position could doubtless gain some
pointers from reading the biography Of
Thomas Jefferson. The father of the
Louisiana purchase did not wait for
anybody to escort him to the capitol
when he was about to be inaugurated
president Of the United States. He
rode his own horse to the capitol, dis
mounted and hitched the horse with
his own hands, and Notwithstanding
his attention to such details, had the
time and the foresight which enables
us now to celebrate the centennial Of
the acquisition Of the magnificent ter
ritory included in the Louisiana Pur-
chase. But then, we have had some
mighty big men as presidents and we
have some mighty small ones as
governors.

ejecting the occupants, whom they
found at prayer, from their own prop
erty. 10 the credit of the commander
Of the troops let it be said that he re-
signed his position rather than be
compelled to perform the task. France
takes credit to herself as land Of
liberty, but to-day she presents the
spectacle Of French subjects being
forced to leave that land of liberty for
other lands, some of which do not
proclaim the doctrines of liberty, equal
lty and fraternity with so much ac-
claim, but where men are allowed to
acquire property and worship accord
ing to the dictates of their consciences.
The liberty which the present French
government desires is the liberty born
of irreligion. These people are forced
to leave their institutions and their
property which they have been gather
ing for generations. They are scatter
ing to all parts of the world, with
nothing before them except the chance
to begin anew.

AFFECT Poverty in Rich England.

The wealth of England is in the
hands of a few-parasites living on the
blood of the toilers, grasping, greedy
monopoliStS, ''devourers Of the people,"
who constitute "a cancerous formation
Of luxury growing out Of a root Of
pauperism!" says j. J. Hart in May
Donahoe's. The great majority Of
English workers earn wage sufficient
to procure for them only the bare ne
cessaries of life. Seven million toilers
are living in abject poverty! From
twenty-five to thirty per cent Of the
town populations of England are liv-
ing Il starved existence! These are
statements startling enough, but they
can be proved. The last census
shows the population of England with
Wales at 25,O54,2 6S urban, and 7,471,-
242 rural. We will leave rural power
ty for future consideration. On towns,
there is hardly a better authority than
Mr.. Rowntree. In his book. "Pov-
erty: study of Town Life" he shows
that, i'm the city of York, out of
a population of 1882 persons, fam
lilies comprising 2O,3O2 persons, equal
to 1884 per cent of the total popula-
ton of the city, were living in poverty.
And by his use of the word poverty,
Mr.. Rowntree does not mean those who
cannot afford such little luxuries as
servants, books, newspapers, Or who
are stability dressed. He includes
those only who, after careful inquiry
of his investigators, We're found unable
to support a physically healthy exis-
tence for the primitive needs Of hui
man life-food, shelter, clothing, light,
warmth.

The monastery and church and the
entire civilization OH the island w;,s
destroyed by the Norsemen in the
year SO6 and sixty-eight monks were
martyred.
The property was repaired, but was
again wasted by the Danes in the year
$50 and the abbot and fifteen monks
were slain. The island remained
practically deserted from that time I'M
til the beginning Of the thirteenth
century when the Cathedral Of st.
Mary, with monastery and con-
vent was established The ruins of
this cathedral still remain. As the
result of an interesting legend, this
island is the burial place of many
Scottish monarchs, including Macbeth
and Duncan; besides the Scottish rul-
ers, Irish, Danish, Norwegian and
French kings are buried there. The
legend is, that before the end of the
world, there will he great deluge
which will completely submerge all
land except the island Of Iona, which
will rise and float above the waters.
At present the island has a COM
modious hotel to which many tourists
come each year. The island is sep
arated from the mainland by the Sound
Of Null across which lies the Promon-
tory Of Null, which is also owned by
the Duke of Argyll. The mention
of this historic spot is reminder of
the great part which Ireland and the
Irish people took in early civilization.

put to, it will always be chiefly no.

did his great work. The Irish them
selves accepted Christianity and Chris

Christianity and promote education
and civilization. So effectively was
this work done, that the savage clans

The celebration last Sunday of the
SEVENTEEN anniversary of st. Mary's
Catholic church in Chicago, brings
forcibly to mind the wonderful relig-
ious, political and material growth Of
this country. We are accustomed to
hear stock phrases about unprecedent-
ed growth" wonderful development"
and so on, but it is doubtful whether
we fully realize what has really taken
place. Only seventy years ago last
Saturday the first church of any de-
nomination in Chicago was founded.
AT that time Father st. Cyr came
from st. Louis to what was then the
small village Of Chicago, and was in
stalled as priest Of st. Mary's parish.
He found less than 200 Catholics in
what is now the whole diocese of
Chicago. From this one congregation
has sprung up the one hundred and
fifty churches spread through the city
with 100000 worshippers. And all
this in the lifetime of many now liv-
ing. st. Mary's was for a long time
the Cathedral of Chicago and had a
vast congregation. 1t is situated in
what is now the heart of the city. and
is surrounded by business blocks. The
worshippers are largely transients
from the down town hotels. The
church is well known to Catholic
travelling men and Catholic visitors to
Chicago. Seventy years ago the first
mass was celebrated in little log
church that stood OH what is now
