New York, Jan. 5.-According to
The Heralds correspondent in Wilen-
in three columns on General Castro's
army.
A desperate fight occurred Saturday
night within 8 miles of the city of Ca
racas, resulting favorably to the revo-
lutionists. They are cutting all the
telegraph lines, tearing up the railroad
tracks, and are hourly expected in the
immediate neighborhood OF the city.
A condition of extreme panic pre-
walls among those who have hereto
fore believed that Castro was irwin

A committee of the most promi

Castro and made representations of
how hopelessly untenable is his po-
sition. But he insists on holding on
until his forces are defeated in a de-
cisive battle 1t seems that this can
not be far distant

LATE FATHER ALLAEYS.

Rev. Honore B. Alaeys, rector of st. Josephs
church, Butte who died Friday of last week,
was a man of great piety and devotion to duty.
A writer for the Miner who is familiar with the
early days of Butte, at a time when ST. Patrick's
the only church IN the city, gives to Father
Alaeys no praise which is not meried by this good
pioneer priest. Father Allaeys of refine
ment and culture and we'll versed in letters. As
a scholar and profound @reasoner, he had high
ideals As laborer in the vineyard of Christ he
was untiring in his zeal. He was splendid type
of the ideal priest, and could never rest in ease
while any of the poorer members of his flock needed
succor. He gave up much of his time to the poor
and needy As courteous and learned man he
earned the highest respect of the best class of peo
pie. He was always intensely in earnest in his
work and was untirng in his efforts to render the
most good.
He. succeeded Father De Siere as rector of the
church in Anaconda, when the latter was called to
the pastorate of Butte In Anaconda Father Al
laeys soon won his way to the love and affection
of all the people regardless of religious belief Lat
er he was transferred to Great Falls where he ac-
complished much good for the church. and recently
was called to Butte to take charge of Saint Jo-
sephs church in the southern part of the city. If
Father AlIaeys had been sufferer from disease,
he suffered in silence, and the news of his death
came as a shock to his congregation and the Cath
olics of Montana.

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION.

This day Saturday the church celebrates the
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, III recognition of the Catholic belief in the
invisible journey of the Virgin to heaven while in
the flesh and possessed of the spirit. Although this
has not yet been defined and established, ex ca
thedrs as an article of faith it commentaries one
of the most joyful events in the festivals set apart
for devotion Little as we know from gospel
history about Mary our love for the mother of God
makes up for the loss. We can easily reconcile
our reason with our faith as we contemplate the
person from whose immaculate womb came forth
the Redeemer of the world. That stainless flesh
offered no morsel to the devouring worm. There
fore the tradition becomes fact which describes her
tomb guarded by the apostles, and the journey of
St. Thomas to Jerusalem to look again upon those
heavenly features. Three days had the tomb closed
over the Virgin before st. Thomas arrived at the
spot, but his burning desire to view the remains
won the consent of the apostles. The tomb was
opened N body lay therein Where it had rested
only the linen which served to wrap the body was
visible. But out from that tomb came the most
exquisite odors.
Faith in this joyful and miraculous event comes
down from the apostles through the centuries, and
though it be not dogma of creed it increases our
piey and devotion as we progress in spiritual holi
ness. Catholics should observe the day with piety
and devotion. 1t is a holy day of obligation

FOOD FOR THE CARTooNlST.

The other day people on this side of the water
startled by bulletin announcing an attempt
an the life of Premier Coombs by an Italian an
archist. Two shots were fired at the distinguished
Frenchman, but both bullets flew Wild An hour Or
so after the first report came another The bullets
fired were not leaden bullets They were not bullets
at all. Tomatoes were thrown at the premiers car
riage. Just to hurt his feelings, and not to harm
his skin.
Yet all the elements of sensation were present at
this attempted assassination. The fellow who shot
the bullets which turned out to be tomatoes an

enough for any hot tamale man to own; vet what's

would the creduous world assign the responsibility
of the act! To some French religious, of course.

the closing monasteries and schools to certain
prescribed orders
As it is, Premier Coombs is denied harsher
measures of reprisa against Catholics by this
childish act of Italian fool. He is not an an
archist because an anarchist would have shot to
kill. If he had the sense of an American he would
have hurled eggs at the premier-Yenerable hen
fruit of stout odor The whole tragedy is a comedy.
The wonder is that it has not been sensed by our
clever local cartoonist the Herald staff.

EMERALD ISLE AT ST. LOUIS.

zThe column of Irish news appearing in this is
SHE contains one bit moro valuable than all the
rest. 1t is not the gossip of Kanturk the Dor
rowed words from Kilkenny. 1t spreads all over
Ireland, from Fairhead in Antrim to Mizzenhead

rival in Ireland of prominent Irishmen of Mis-
souri, citizens of ST. Louis, charged to awaken in
terest in an Irish national fair to be held at the
same time and upon the same grounds where the
world is invited to celebrate the centennial of the
Louisiana Purchase.
That is the way to start the ball rolling in the
direction of a successful exhibit. The at the
Chicago fair disappointed not to say Inundated,
many who expected greater things in showing
of Irish industries. The Irish Village" in the
Midway was nothing better than catch-penny at

The knowledge and experience obtained from
the recent Cork exhibition can be successfully APP
piled to the plan of exhibit in America The
knowledge that Irish industries are to be separated
from the exhibit to be made by Great Britain will
encourage national pride and stimulate endeavor.
At ST. Louis the Irish exhibitor will conduct bust
ness "on his own hook" and bask in the shadow
of his own vine and fig tree. Little of real Ire

almost concealed behind tubs of ale and casks of
porter brewed in Dublin. As if the genius of Ire

ton over the poverty of his country's exhibit at
the fair, was found in the lead taken by. sons of

DEEDS OF WEALTHY CATHOLICS.

The Western Waterman, i'll its educational
number, referring to Catholic institutions endowed
by private charity, says:
We have three great Catholic institutions now,
wholly. i'll great part, endowed by private char
ity: The Catholic University at Washington, the
Seminary at St Paul and Creighton University at
Omaha We would hold up the example of Miss
Caldwell, James Hill and Count Creighton to the
imitation of wealthy Catholics.
In the west namesake of the distinguished
editor of the Western Waterman gave all he pos
sessed for the maintenance of orphanage in
Salt Lake. The generous donor, realizing the I'M
selfish nature and herculean efforts of his oldtime
friend Bishop Seaman, in founding and main
tanning St. AIMS Orphange, and with full conf
dence in the bishops administrative ability, had,
six years before his death, willed his entire prop
erty to Bishop Seaman as trustee for the orphans
The secret was known only to his lawyer. The
most agreeably surprised man in Salt Lake City,
when the contents of the will were made known,
was Bishop Seaman. The modest and hitherto I'M
known generous donor Pat Phclan. We hope
his namesake will not omit his name when record
ing the generosity of laymen. Pat Phelan, be-
cause of his heroic charity, stands in the front
rank of the Catholic laymen. His name should be
perpetuated and his memory saved from oblivion.

the excitement ended after the passage Of harm

ance than menace to the peace of the city, and
so long he remains within the law he is entitled

On Sunday, the highly seasoned imagination of the

men, while the historic ostrich feather fans with

of Morocco into city of his country, instead of
