A Tragic Tale.

In the parlor car sat richly dressed
young woman tenderly holding very
small poodle. "Madame," said the
conductor, as he punched her ticket.
I am very sorry, but you can't have
your dog in this car"

"That makes no difference" said
the conductor. II couldn't allow my
own dog here. Dogs must ride in the
baggage car. I'll fasten him all right
for YOU"
"Don't you touch my dog, sir!" said
the young woman excitedly. II will
trust him to no one" And with an in
dignant tread she marched to the bag
gage car, tied her dog and returned.
About fifty miles further on, when
the conductor came along again, she

She Was Not Sure.

Representative Thomas Hedge, Of
Iowa, has daughter who is as fond
of fun as himself. Miss Hedge is in
the heyday Of her school life. Her
father is the possessor Of classical
educa ton, with a capital G, and any
infraction on the Queens English jars
him quite as much as a discordant
note agitates a real musician. Upon
this issue father and daughter have
often clashed. He has insisted that
she is too free in mixing adjectives
and adverbs. Not long ago the young
lady went to seminary up in Yankee
land, and she was admonished to ad-
wise her father promptly of her ar
rival. She did so. This is the mes
sage she wired to her waiting, anxious
parent: arrived safe, or safely-1

The Wedding Ring.

A long time ago the wedding ring
was worn on the forefnger and was
thickly studded with precious stones.
People who have seen the old pictures
Of the Madonna in Rome will remem-
Der that in one or two of them there is
a glistening ring on the forefnger OF
her right hand, but with Christianity
came the wearing of the wedding ring
on the third finger rather than the
first.
The old story of there being a vein
that runs from that finger to the heart
IL nonsense. Its use originated in this
way:
The priest first put it on the thumb,
'saying, '1n the name Of the Fathers"

THE LAST RITES.
Funeral Ceremonies Over the Remains
of Mrs. Collins at Fargo.

VI mrs. NOIlJnS AZ fdfQO.
The funeral ceremonies for Mrs.
Collins, mother of Dean Collins, were
held this morning at st. Mary's
Cathedral, where the body was
taken from the residence Of Hon.
James Kennedy, says the Fargo, N.
d., Daily Forum of April 20. The last
rites consisted Of solemn high requi-
EN- mass, the celebrant being the Very
Rev. Dean Collins, the bereaved son Of
the deceased, assisted by the Very
Rev. Father Egan, the deacon, and
Rev. J. A. Lemieux, who was SUBJ
deacon. Father Dionne presided at
the organ and the choir sang the dirge
of Liberia with great devotion. At the
conclusion Of the mass Bishop Stanley
preached the sermon, in which he dis
tinctly referred to the Christian char
acter Of Mrs. Collins, who had so
eminently served God by assisting so
nobly in the preparation Of her son for
the Catholic ministry. The distin-
guished prelate referred to the occa-
sion which he said was unique be-
cause Of the fact that the son of the
deceased, who himself is GO years of
age, was the celebrant at the funeral
Of his mother, who had attained the
ripe age Of 86 years. The floral Offer
ings were profuse and very beautiful.
The pail bearers were Messrs. G. H.
Anheier, James Kennedy, James Nc
Dermott, r. Fields, James D. Moulder,
Harry O'Neill and Peter Elliott.

to prepare for the priesthood. The
trustees ADOPTED a resolution which
will grant to the graduates of these
institutions the privilege Of obtaining
degrees from the Catholic university
on making the required grades in ex-
animation. The scheme is the same
as that in existence at the London uni
versity. Before it becomes effective it
is necessary for the various seminaries
to adopt the resolution. 1t is believed
this step will strengthen the Catholic
university and make it still more ma
tional institution Of learning.

MEANING OF THE MASS.
Symbolism of Each Part of the Holy
Sacrifice.

Professionals, who do not understand
the ceremony of the mass, often Won
der what there is in it to attract such
close attention. To them preaching
and hymn-singing is the accepted
form of public worship.
1t would therefore be we'll to tell
our non-Catholic friends that all the
ceremonies have a meaning and re-
late to the passion Of Christ. When
the priest begins the function, he
kneels at the foot Of the altar, for In
stance, and there he represents Christ
i'll the bloody sweat in the Garden of
Gethsemane. Then he goes up the
steps and kisses the altar, and we are
reminded Of the kiss with which Judas
betrayed the Master. Then he goes
to one side Of the altar and then to the
other, and back to the center of it,
and we recall how our Savior was led
before Annas and Caiphas, and PLATE,
and Herod, and back to PLATE, and
finally out to the hill of Calvary.
The priest washes his hands, and
we think of PLATE doing the same
and declaring that he is .guiltless of
this innocent blood. When the conse-
Grafton takes place and the Host is
raised above the priests head to be
seen by the congregation, we behold
Jesus nailed to the cross and lifted up
to die.
And so the sacred drama goes on
He dies, He is buried, He rises again,
He ascends into Heaven and the Holy
Ghost comes down to bless the Church
and abide with it forever. With that
blessing, given by the priest, the
words are heard-"Go, for mass is
over" and the people, having taken
part in offering the Holy Sacrifice,
depart in peace, thanking God for
the grace of their presence at such
celestial mysteries.
Is it any wonder that the mass is a
magnet and that Catholics do not need
preaching, or music, or reading to in
crease it's charm?

LINCOLN'S PALL-BEARERS.
But Two of Them Survive After
Thirty-EiQht Years.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the
funeral of Abraham Lincoln on April
20, 1865, says the New York Sun of
April 10. OF the distinguished men
who carried to the grave the body Of
the martyred President, but two now
remain. One, Henry G. Worthington,
who then represented the comparative
ly new State Of Nevada in the House
Of Representatives, is now resident
Of Washington. The other is former
Representative Coffruth of Bedford,
Pa. The latter is getting we'll along in
years, but is still active in the prac-
tice Of law in his home town. Several
years ago he was mentioned for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
Of the Keystone State, but his party
took up another standard bearer.
Mr.. Worthington is still alive, al
though time has whitened his hair
and beard. He is familiar figure
about the Capitol when Congress is In
session, and possesses a rare fund of
"reminiscences. He was with the fill
buster Walker on one Of the latter's
expeditions. He was member of the
Legislature for California in the days
when Grant lived in the Golden State,
and they became warm friends there
A glance at the official list Of the pail
bearers at the funeral of Lincoln will
show how death has wiped out a small
array Of men who were famous in
these United States a third Of a
century ago. This is the list:
Lafayette Foster, Conn.,; Edwin D.
Morgan, N. Y. Keverdy johnson, Md. !;
Richard Yates, ILL.,; Benjamin Wade,
Ohio; John CONFESS, CAL; Henry L..
Dawes, Mass; Andrew Coffruth,

Since the interment at Springfield,
Ill, on May 4, 1865, there have been
six removals and reinterments of the
body of Lincoln.

RECTOR INSTALLED:
Mgr. O'Connell Indicted Into Office
by Cardinal Gibbons.

mgr. O'COnneIl lnduCte0 into Off1Ce
by Cardinal Gibbons.
Wednesday, at Washington, D. G.,
Rt Rev. Mgr. Denis J. O'Connell was
installed as rector Of the Catholic
University Of America, in succession
to the Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Conaty. DR..
Conaty has been rector Of the univer-
,sity since January, 1897. He was ap-
pointed recently bishop Of Los An
geles. His successor, Mgr. O'Connell,
was for several years rector Of the
American college at Rome.
The ceremony occurred at meeting
of the trustees Of the university, in
Mcmahon hall, on the university
grounds. Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti-
more, was the central figure. AS the
president of the board Of trustees of
the university, he formally installed
Mgr. O'Connell. In attendance on the
meeting were many high dignitaries
Of the Catholic church Of this coun-
try, including Archbishops Williams,
of Boston; Farley, Of New York,
Ryan, Of Philadelphia; Ireland, Of St.
Paul, and Keane, Of Dubuque; Bishops
Spalding, Of Peoria; Macs, Of Coving-
ton; Foley, Of Detroit; Horstmann, Of
Cleveland, and Conaty, Of Los Angeles,
and Michael Jenkins, Of Baltimore, and
Thomas q. Waggeman, of Washington.
These constitute the board Of trustees.
With this board are assembled ex-of-
flcio, all the archbishops Of the United
States as an advisory board. The in
stallation occurred behind closed doors.
No formal addresses were delivered,
except that Of the retiring rector, Bish-
op Conaty, who presented to the board
report of stewardship, which was
eminently satisfactory to the trustees.
The brief appointing Mgr. O'Connell as
DR.. Conaty's successor was presented,
and Cardinal Gibbons formally induct-
ed the new rector into Office.
Tomorrow morning the annual meet
ing Of the archbishops Of the United
States will be held. In the afternoon
the corner stone Of the apostolic mis-
sion house, on the university grounds,
will be laid. Cardinal Gibbons will
preside and Archbishop Keane, Of Du-
buque, the first rector Of the univer-
sity, will deliver the principal dis
course.
The most important action taken by
the trustees was a movement to afflli-
ate with the university about eighteen
or twenty seminaries and institutions
Of learning where college graduates 60

MERCY HOSPITAL
Recently Dedicated By Bishop Stanley
at Devils Lake.

Tuesday, April IA, dawned bright
and beautiful, an ideal day, almost as
warm as May. Long before the ap
pointed hour for the dedicatory cere
monies, crowds were seen focking to-
wards the new hospital building east
Of the city, and by 1890 the building
was filed with people from the city
and country, says the Devils Lake, N
D., News.
Bishop Stanley celebrated mass at
an altar erected in the eastern end of
the lower hall, being assisted by Revs.
Father Conaty of Grand Forks, Father
Jerome Of Fort Totten, Father Ger
agility Of Reynolds, Father Hem, Fa.
ther Augustine, Father Justice and
Father Bernard Of this city.
The choir consisted Of Messrs.
Ashelman and Huesgen, Mrs. e. P.
Flynn, Misses Norton, Hale, Fahy,
Vannier, Fitzsimmons and Brennan,
and Mrs. Joseph Donoyer. Miss Louise
Prindeville presided at the organ.
After mass the bishop dedicated the
building.
After the ceremony of dedication
Bishop Stanley delivered an address,
in which he paid fitting tribute to
the good work of Mother Genevieve
and her assistants in building up this
magnificent institution.
After the address, lunch was served
to those present by the ladies Of st.
Josephs church.
The building is magnificent struc-
ture, 50x100 feet in size, with three
stories and an ample basement. In the
basement are found the kitchen, laun-
dry room, dining room for the help,
the engine room, and power room.
The entire building is heated by steam
and has every modern improvement
necessary to the welfare Of it's in
fees Of Medical Superintendent Sihler
and Surgical Superintendent w. D.
Jones. The han extends east and
west between two rows Of rooms for
the use OIL patients. Each Of these is
neatly furnished, and made most COM
Portable. The general plan of the Sec
ond and third floors are the same as
that of the first. On the second floor
is the chapel, and besides single rooms,
there are several ward rooms. On the
third floor are found the three surgical
wards, with all the appliances needed.
The floors are of tile, and these rooms
are splendidly lighted. These rooms
are arranged so that the floors can be
flushed, making them easy to keep in
perfect condition. In fact, the entire
building and appurtenances are COM
plete in every detail. There is abso-
lutely nothing lacking which would be
conducive to the health and comfort
of patients.
Mother Genevieve is to be congratu-
lated on her great work. Starting
about eight years ago. she has, with
the help of citizens of this and adjoin-
ing counties, made the Mercy hospital
as it stands to-day, credit to the city
and lasting monument to her efforts

"Dil-Dap !"

Now no more of quiet evenings
In book do 1 get lost,
For blue-eyed laughing baby
Comes and straddles right across
Where my foot is idly swinging,
And my book falls in my lap
AS hear her childish accents,
"Tum on, papa, now did-dapw
And her eyes are full of laughter,
And her wee hands grasp me tight,
AS my foot begins it's swinging,
And the glory of her fight
Makes her cheeks as red as roses,
And she, scorning all mishap,
Cries when would rest moment
"Tum ON, papa, now did-dap!'
Higher yet, faster and higher,
Grow the prancings Of her steed;
Tangled yellow curls a-fying,
While her dad grows weary kneed,
But when would clasp her to me,
When I'd clasp her to my lap,
Comes the piping childish treble,
'Tum on, papa, now did-dap!'
'"Tum on, papa!' Bless the baby!
What are tones of ancient lore?
All the wisdom of the ages?
When she wants mo IN tho f1nnr
For good old rough-and-tumble?
When she slides down from my lap
To her saddle on my instep
And says: "Tum on, now; did-dupv'

Every Day Routine.

1t is sometimes thought that anyone
knows how to cook whose cooked pro-
ducts can be eaten; that dishes are
we'll washed when they look clean. Yet
it is equal to fine art to do either
Of these household tasks we'll, and
woman who knows how is greatly
appreciated in her own or in any other
family. Girls brought up in home
to be ignorant Of the practical things
which make the home are deprived
of blessing which is their due.
Pedagogy teaches that interest is the
necessary element in acquiring knowl-
edge. Terrors in housekeeping vanish,
to some extent, when interest asserts
itself in domestic life, while the future
happiness Of all concerned depends
upon the mental attitude Of the work
er. Nothing contributes so much to-
ward securing this quality as the
lively desire to do work in the best
way to secure good results and con-
serve time and strength.
Do I hear you say, "With so much
to do, there is no time to try new
methods; the work must be hurried
through anyhow?' The housewife is
often an allround, intelligent worker
who must perforce crowd into her
busy day work belonging to dozen
different professions. The gracious lady
who receives her guests with a heart
some welcome is the capable cook, the
exquisite laundress, and Sd on to the
end Of the chapter.
The busiest kind Of life may be
made up of these details. The spoke
of a wheel is only one stick Of wood,
the hub a larger chunk fashioned to
receive the spokes, the rim but an iron
band to hold all in place. Without
the spokes the wheel lacks strength;
without the hub the very center is
lacking; without rim the wheel has no
stability. These domestic trides are
the precursor of mans mightiest
achievements, or are very possible ele-
ments in his defeat. A soggy potato
has weighted may mans ambition,
and complaining word, sour look,
or bitter tone has taken the heart out
Of men. Poor coffee has dampened
the ardor Of many potential poet. A
woman, therefore, cannot reasonably
say that homework is mere drudgery,
round Of soulless routine, and void
of pleasure.
While the table must be set and the
dishes washed three times day, and
the kitchen cleaned and dust removed
from the furniture only to leave new
surface for more dust, there must still
be something outside Of routine to
make these duties endurable and in
fact pleasant. AS much muscular en-
ergy is used in these duties as in ten.
mis- or golf, but the state of the mind
is different. When a woman intro
duces into her routine work an effort
for higher attainment in the art of
practical housekeeping, or when it is
relieved by the enjoyment Of pleasure
in view-the time to read, an enter
tainment, an anticipated visit or music
she sinks the heavy feeling of de-
spair over never accomplished labor
in the enjoyment Of happier things.
Then while she must labor on, may it
not be well to sing a song, laugh in
the midst of difficulties, enjoy the sun
rise and the sunset, and smile at the
fortune which made her house
keeper?

The editor of the Advocate express
es his opinion that Superintendent
Farquhar is incompetent. This opens
up a subject of considerable interest
and Importance and one somewhat
personal. The people of the county
deserve we'll qualified person in that
Office. Mr.. Farquharh several years
experience in teaching before he was
elected. He has succeeded very well in
his Office. He has good general ed
ucation and has good judgment. He
is well adapted to his work and is
successful in getting along with the
people. He is held in high regard as
man of good character and of in
telligence. AS the editor of the Advo-
cate becomes so personal in his at
tacks on Mr.. Farquhar in this partic-
ular, the public cannot refrain from
comparing the present incumbent of
that Office with his predecessor, Mr..
Spencer, and the comparison is very
much to the disadvantage of the lat
ter. Under the circumstances it takes
either nerve or obtuseness for him to
speak of incompetency in that office.
The ignorance sometimes displayed
by him in that Office as we'll as in the
newspaper business since, has been
| painful, and something that would
not be mentioned now only because OF
his charges of incompetency in the
| present incumbent and of his conduct
toward his opponents.
