In my illustration have depicted for
you one of Forcythe's da ntiest models,
which is worn with a beautifully-cut
long coat costume. With such costume,
milady is ready for all but the most for
NAL occasions, which is an advantage to
one who is to scurry over the face OF
Europe, where much luggage is nui
sance and when provision must be made
tor many emergencies with comparative
ly little.
To her, then, the shirt waist is even
more of boon than to her stay-at-home
sister. But whether she stays in one
place or travels, shirt waists in plenty
must receive first consideratio in select
ing her summer outfit.
Another important item OF dress that
should receive consideration second only
to the shirt waist is the trotting frock.
It should be severe and trig, and of all
things, it should be made by one exper-
fenced in tailor.mades and fitted over a
correct model of corset.
With properly-fitting corset, the alb
domen is kept down and the hips reduced
in size, thus attaining the fashionable
figure. OF the many corsets that aim
at this important result the C-B la
Spirite certainly accomplishes it-and
with entire comfort.
Now word about white, of which so
much is worn. The shade of white select
cd is very important. .
Let the average woman beware ofdead-
white. Dead-white has host of rivals
in the various creams, ivory. etc., and
every woman should realize there is a
vast difference in the becoming quality OF
these tones, and should know just which
best suits her own coloring.

"A New Irish Dictionary.

An appeal has been made to the
Irish-American priests of this country
in behalf Of the work Of completing
the Irish-English dictionary which is
now being compiled in Dublin. The
appeal is made by Archbishop Walsh
OF Dublin, who says:
For years l have thought it a dis
grace to us all that Irish is the one
language which our Irish students
are left to study without having the
elementary aid afforded by diction-
airy. 1t were to give up all talk Of
the revival of interest in the Irish
language Of Ireland if, for the want
OF few hundred pounds, we leave
the students Of it without the help
of dictionary"
Archbishop Walsh has volunteered
to assume personally one-tenth Of the
cost Of compiling this dictionary. 1t
is being edited by Rev. P. S. Din
neen, under the auspices of the Irish
Texts society. 1t will incorporate
the modern parts of existing diction-
aries and every page Of 1t will be
carefully collated with Peter O'Con-
nelrs great manuscript dictionary,
which took 80 years to complete.
A large part of the work is nearly
done and mass of the material for
the other parts has been collected. 1t

THE BRITISH NAVY.

Great Britain's policy to maintain
navy equal to the combined strength
of France and Russia is still hobby.
The proposition recently made by the
British admiralty to spend $174,OOO,-
600 for naval construction is in line
with past action, though the amount
to be expended is somewhat in excess
Of previous figures and doesn't find
much favor with the average British
taxpayer, who really hasn't much to
say in the matter. AS this has been
done without raising much protest in
Parliament the proposed new depart
ure means that Great Britain will not
feel perfectly safe until she has equaled
the three largest in Europe, those Of
France, Russia and Germany. While
the two former are adding but little to
their naval program, Germany on
the other hand, has become quite ac-
tive and is fast increasing her force
Of modern ships which is already
large. Perhaps Great Britain is get
ting in trim so that she may be ready
to fight me three when necessity
arises. however, if the opportunity
should prove slow in offering itself
it isn't likely she will push the mat
ter. Nor would it be safe. Such
combine as that mentioned would
wipe her from the seas.

At the annual banquet of the Ham,
ilton Club in Chicago, Thursday night,
Henry Watterson in an address, de-
clared the race problem cannot be
solved as a political issue. Amongst
other things Mr.. Watterson said: us
there not another outlet to these per-
pleXities, another solution of this prob
lem? After all, is not your Dispute
tude based upon the idea that there
are one set of moral conditions at the
north and another set at the south, to
which the whole racial trouble is ref
cradle? Believe me, there is no such
difference. Remove every white
democrat to-day living in the south and
replace him with a northern repub-
lican, and twelve months hence the
conditions will be the same, may be
worse. since the northern republican
would not be likely to have either the
patience, or the personal sympathy ami
knowledge possessed by the native
southerner. Gentlemen, appeal to
you as republicans, and through you
1 appeal to the Republicans Of the
United States, to have done with the
conceit, that, unless you stand by the
black man, that unless you continue
him as an issue in partisan politics,
injustice will be done him."

AN AUDITORIUM ASSURED.

The city is to have an auditorium,
action to that effect having been taken
at the state capitol last Wednesday.
The bond issue for completing the
court house is to be increased from
100000 to $475,OOO, with the full I'M
Outstanding that the auditorium is to
be finished before the rest Of the build
ing. The delegation from this county
to the legislature, it is said, was prac-
tically unanimous for the project,
something entirely to the credit Of the
members, for an auditorium is one of
the real needs of Minneapolis. The
location may not be entirely satisfac-
tory, still, with the general growth
of the city, even this will grow in
popularity and the choice will ulti-
mately be looked upon with the ut
most favor.
The idea, which seems to have orig
mated largely with the business men
Of the city, is certainly an excellent
one. W. Nj. Regain. w. l.. Harris, G.
d. Dayton and Thomas Noegeli, rep
resenting the Minneapolis retail mer-
chants; Frederick Fayram from the
Philharmonic club, e. G. Potter for
the court house and city hall commits
sion and w. D. Washburn, Jr., for the
Commercial club, presented the matter
before the Hennepin delegation and
after a thorough consideration of the
proposition from every standpoint,
action was taken as above indicated.
The plans for the hall, as explained
by Messrs. Harris, Regain and others,
have in view seating capacity Of
5000. Without going into detail at
this time in reference to the work Of
construction, let us hope that there
will be no hitch in the proceedings,
but that the auditorium, as proposed,
may prove an assured fact. So plain
ly need, it is step in the right
direction.

The reception given President Roose-
welt in st. Paul and Minneapolis last
Saturday afternoon and evening was
certainly of most cordial nature and
the greeting the chief magistrate re-
ceived was OF a nature inspiring, Il
tribute to the man, with party parti-
sanship entirely removed. That was
the aim, at least, and it was adhered
to much more closely by the people
than by the president In swinging
around the circle some of his prede-
cessors have been little more digni-
fed in their utterances by avoiding
cheap phatitudes on political subjects,
merely combining themselves to pleas
antries or to local illusions without
any mixture Of politics. Then, too,
what the president had to say here
was quite commonplace. The ques-
lions of trusts and the tariff have been
threshed over so often by men in all
parties that allusion to them on such
an occasion and under such circum-
stances was of little interest, though
in the heat of a campaign, could well
be used for electioneering purposes.
May his outing be fruitful of good
results.

PATIENCE IS COUNSELED.

In q recent editorial under the cap
ton, France Finding Herself" New
York newspaper rejoices in the sta
bility of the French Republic, and
points to the triumph Of the infidel
party, and the consequent expulsion of
the religious orders as indicating per-
manency and prosperity for the pre-
vailing form Of government, says the
Catholic Light Of Scranton.
1t will not be denied that the paper
in question is entitled to hold an opin-
ion upon the state Of affairs in France,
but it may safely be questioned whe-
thcr the opinion is based upon sound
Judgment and justified by facts.
Despite all that may be said to the
contrary, France is Overwhelmingly
Catholic and will remain so. The gov
crnment may suppress the orders and
drive them from the country, but when
the mask is thrown off and attack
transferred from the religious societies
to the church itself, then will come
the real crisis-a crisis that may well
he dreaded by those who have made
republicanism in France synonymous
with infidelity.
There can be no doubt that the SYM
pathies of Premier Combes are entire
ly with the radical anti-church party.
He is loud in denunciation Of the
political activity" Of the clergy, and
has more than once threatened the
abrogation of the Concordat. But the
premier Is shrewd, If not far-seeing.
He knows the time is not ripe for a
violent break with the church, and
though he threatens and cavils he has
neither the courage nor the strength to
cast the die and force the issue in open
warfare. To the radicals he says.
wait; my heart and will are with you,
but the time is not yet.
Meanwhile the policy Of Leo XIII
is strengthening the church In France,
and compelling the admiration Of the
entire world. With superb patience
he counsels French Catholics to be
loyal to the Republic and to obey the

IS 1T REAL PROSPERITY?

What does all this talk about pros
perity mean? From all indications the
word has been badly tempered with
Judging from the number of strikes
recently inaugurated throughout the
land. 1t is estimated that over fifty
thousand worlSingmen went out on a
strike the first of April, fully nine
tenths of this number having no other
grievance than that of dissatisfaction
with the wage scale.
The toiler, it is generally admitted,
is receiving better wages now than
he has for many years past. Whether
as a laborer or tradesman, in all &C.
equations an increase has been noted
of from five to twenty per cent and
yet, whatever has been added to the
old figure, when the conditions were
unbearable from a Republican stand
point, appear to have increased rather
than to have diminished his discon-
tent. This is perfectly natural, all
things considered. The trouble with
the toiler is he has not been able, at
least he has not been allowed, to keep
up with the procession, as it were
While the trusts and monopolies have
managed to secure an advance OF
from twenty-five to fifty per cent OH
their products the average working
man finds himself ploddng along on
a gain of ten to twenty per cent in
his wages and here he is confronted
with the fact that it is mot theory
but Il condition that confronts him.
Without much study of the situation
he is able to see that the benefit he
may have derived on the one hand
has been more than lost to him on the
other in the increased cost Of living,
and thus in his dissatisfied state Of
mind, the strike is again resortet to.
The word prosperity" as now in use,
is sort of misnomer so far MS the
rank and file of the people are con-
cerned and it remains for them to say
how long this deception shall be prac-
ticed upon them. Prosperity, as ap-
piled in the. Republican party, has
little to it's credit outside the encour-
agement of trusts and monopolies,
which are eating away the very vitals
Of the nation.

The parliamentary vacancy in the
Camborne division of Cornwall, due to
the death of w. s. Caine, progressive
liberal was filled Wednesday by the
return of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, with
an increased liberal majority. The
figures were: Sir Wilfrid Lawson
QiberaD, 1858; Arthur Strauss liberal
unionisD, 2,S69. Considerable rowdy-
ism marked the canvassing. Sir Will
frid Lawson's increased majority was
not expected, as he openly declared
that the government ough. to give
back the Transvaal and Orange Free
State to the Beers, and he otherwise
identified himself with the ardent pro-
Boer party. The liberal success prob
ably was due to the dissatisfaction of
the non-conformist Cornishmen with
the governments educational meas
urcs. Sir Wilfrid Lawson's election
brings back to Westminster pictur-
esque figure long known for his vehem-
ent interest in the cause Of temperance.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain sent a
telegram to the electors pointing out
that throughout the war Sir Wilfrid
had invariably sympathized with the
enemies of his country"

a policy at once so just and so firm
that it can neither be successfully at

is a policy founded upon faith--faith

So it is not yet time to gloat over
the triumph Of infdelity in France,
or to herald it as the perpetuator Of
the Republic. If the government Of

Better Than Punishment.

\ Well-known writer relates the fol-
lowing incident of his life, which
Catholic mothers might well take no.
tice OF when seeing that corporal pun
ishment has often so lite effect:
Perhaps I was only about eight
years old, when one morning, on re-
turning from school, came out with
a very bad word, of which had no
idea of the meaning. My mother, who
happened to be busy just then, said:
Child, never let me hear that word
come out Of your mouth as long as
you live"
l thought this sounded rather SOL
emn, but 1 did not think very much
of it. I asked what o'clock it was and
then went away, feeling somewh..t
ashamed, though hardly knew why.
After dinner my mother called me.
Joseph" she sad, come to my
roon:.''
l hesitated a little, for, strange to
say, the word l had said in the morn
ing required to my mind; besides, l
did not know what was going to hap
pen, but l followed her rather unwill-
ingly, as was very natural.
In my mothers bedroom there was
a large crucitiX, before which she
spent much time in prayer.
She took hold of my hand and led
me before it, then, in q gentle but
earnest tone, she said: My boy, this
morning you gave great pain to the
heart Of our dear Lord by the ugly,
wicked word which you said. l know
you did not understand how very bad
it was, and, therefore, l will not pun
ish you this time, but never say such
word again. Now we will knenl
down to beg our Blessed Lord to for
give this hateful word and say five
Our Fathers in honor of His five
wounds
l knelt down beside my mother and
we said five Our Fathers.
l think this made more impression
on my childish mind than the longest
sermon or the severest punishment.

RESTRICTION OF FOREIGNERS.

There has recently sprung up in
England an anti-foreign agitation
which has for it's purpose the restric-
ton Of foreign immigration to that
country. Adversely and depression is
said to be the cause for this, though,
from general standpoint, it will not
be considered surprising or even new.
In this the Englishman has been con-
sistent, though consistency has never
been one of his salient virtues. 1t ism {
within the memory Of man when for
eigners were welcome in England nor
in any of the possessions under British
control, though in times Of prosperity
the opposition manifested was less
general in it's scope.
Notably intolerant in both teaching
and practice, England has progressed
slowly, as many of her laws of cen
turtles ago and still in force at the
present day attest. Every movement
in this country of a similar nature
since the revolutionary period has been
the outgrowth of English Toryism.
acknowledgment had it's beginning
with English egotism and selfishness
and all the later anti-foreign fanat-
cisms can be traced to the same
source There is nothing visionary
about an anti-foreign movement in
England. 1t is real and can always be
counted on coming to the surface at
certain periods. Ostracism. with all
it's accompanying trials and hardships,
may again be looked for if accounts
received are true.
