THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY
OF OUR PALM SUNDAY
Palms Tokens of the Branches Spread in the Way
of the Savior Upon His Entry Into
Jerusalem.

Christ giving the keys of the Church to
st. Peter-one the inside a mosaic rep
resenting our Lord supporting st. Peter
when he was about to sink while walk
inc on the sea.
The great bronze doors are a work OF
art-in relief on them are representations
of st. Peter and st. Paul, and histoiC
events in the Roman Catholic Church.
To give some idea of the immensely OF
the interior of st. Peters 1 have but to
say every man, woman and child living
in Raleigh, Wilmington, Charlotte and
Durham could at the same time stand
within the walls of this church without
being crowded.
The dome is of such vast size the First
Baptist church, Edenton Street church
and Christ church, spires and all might
easily together be placed within it and
then there would be space to spare
While everything about the church is
enormous in size, the proportions are SO
perfect that the eye is never offended.
Upon entering, my attention was call
ed to the doves which are at the base OF
the first columns occupying a position
of about fifty feet from the door. These
doves appeared to be life size. Upon
investigation found they measured three
feet across.
The mosaic inscriptions at the base of
the dome appear to be of letters about
six inches in height when in reality they
are ten feet
There are in the church about a hun
dred mosaic copies of famous paintings
by the masters. The character of the
work of mosaics, it's delicacy and the
length of time required for one picture
sometimes twenty years. renders these
copies of value beyond computation
Confessionals are provided for every Ian
guage of Christendom. There are more
than forty affairs, about eight hundred
columns, and statues to the number OF
four hundred.
Amongst the best of the statues were
several by Canova. l was much inter-
ested in his work as it was he who cre-
ated the splendid statue of Washington
which occupied a place under the dome
of, our old capitol here in Raleigh, de,
stroyed by the fire of 1881 Above the
the dome, is a magnificent canopy of
gilded bronze, which i in height a
hundred feet. The cost of the gliding OF
this canopy is said to have been a hun
dred thousand dollars.
Before it is a balustrade of marble. on
which are burning eighty nine golden
lamps. the light of which is never per-
mitted to expire. This altar is one of
unusual sanctity. and none other than
the Pope ever officiates here
Within these walls so sacredly guarded
repose the remains of him whose name
the Cathedral bears.

BISHOP WILSON LECTURES ON
THE NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL"
The Greatest Preacher Among Southern Methodist
Bishops Delivers the Avera Bible Lectures
at Trinity College.

the Jordan. Then a new order was in
stituted-the world had no longer a par
tial revelation. The divine is found no
longer in special places of worship or ip
elaborate ceremonial, but all men have
access to the Father by reason of this
complete revelation. Men may now build
spiritual temples of themselves; the veil
in the temple is rent.
ut is this revelation found in the New
Testament that is to be the strength of
the church. It's glory is not to be in
the fact that it helps to establish peace
on the erth, or IN the aesthetic excellence
on the earth or in the aesthetic excellence
of its buildings and rituals, but in the
establishment of the spiritual over the
earthly and the sensuous. 1t is here that
Christians Will find the proper adjustments
OF their lives. If the Christian ideal per-
vades ones business relations and per-
meates society and the home. then life
has new meaning. If man omits the
spiritual life from his business, he had
better be an outcast; if he cannot carry
religion into his social relations, he had
better be an outcast; if he cannot sancti-
fy home life with the Bible, he had bet
ter never have had a home. There
should be in man a great outlying and
dominating spiritual world. He should
have access to the magazines of Gods
resources. Let him talk with God con-
verse with the angels, have visions OF
horses and chariots of fire, hear the
music of the skies, and be shot through
with the splendors of the sun of righte-

poLITIcAL PENsIoNING.

The commissioner of pensions has
 made what must be regarded on any
 grounds as grievous mistake. He has
 dragged more politics into the pension
 affairs of this country, which seemed
 already sufficiently burdened with
 partisanship. His latest act is to make
 the medical board of pension examiners
 bipartisan. This change might have
 been effected, of course, if it were
 deemed necessary for political reasons,
 without advertising the intention and so
 directing public criticism upon the pen
 sion administration of this country, al-
 though it would probably be just as
 wrong to secretly introduce political
 purposes as it is to adopt the same
 policy with a candid declaration from
 the author of the project. In the first
 place, the pension office has encountered the civil-service commission, the rules and regulations of which are invoked only when it is necessary to accomplish some object which may be ignored whenever it is equally necessary to carry out plan of some one in autho- rity. ...
 l: would seem that the pension ex- amining boards might very well be organized on strictly professional grounds They are composed, of course, of physicians. whose duty it is to ex- anime. into the physical conditions of applicants for pensions and ascertain if l the alleged disabilities, or infirmities, claimed for the benefit of pension were incurred in, or caused by the I claimants service in the army and whether such ineapacity comes in all
 respects within the scope and provision of the bountiful pension laws of this
 country. Itsis difficult to see why under
 such circumstances the medical exam
 ming board should be political in any Irespect and why two republican apd one
 democratic physiciarls will render better service as the personnel of this pension l board than three physicians who are "black republicans, or three others I who are hopeless democrats The only I requirements which need be exacted
 from memberaof a pension medica
 board is that he shall be physician ol
 skill who has a reputation in his pro. fession and who can be counted upor
 to give an opinion that is honest ant courageous without regard to whether i
 shall favor the man who. is after pen sion. 8. ,Gf Y.%as {se s..'~s.... .. i The whole system of pensions is
 badly administered. It is fraught witt
 much menace to the integrity of a com | munity, and it ought not to be made
 still less respectable by the introduction
 of politics in branch of pension ad ministration which should be free O ssuch untoward influences. Army ant

HAS A GOLD MEDAL FROM POPE
 LEO XIII.

Memento Given to Rev. William Ma
 her, D. D., on the Occasion of His
 Graduation in Rome. s.,...- @ ..a
 Rev. William Maher, D. D., pastor of
 St. Joseph's church, (formerly of New
 Haven), has valuable memento of the late Pope, His Holiness Leo VIII,
 which he prizes very highly. It is a
 gold medal presented to Dr. Maher, at
 the time of his graduation, from the hands of the Pope himself. The medal
 Is of course highly prized by Dr. Ma her for the sentimental values at tached to 1t and intrinsically it is very
 valuable indeed. It is several inches across and about three-eighths of an inch thick, of solid gold. On one side is bust of the late pope and on the obverse is a beautifully engraved re- production of the interior of St. Peters cathedral at Rome. This is a truly wonderful piece of the goldsmith's art, ! as every minute detail of the ornamen- tation of the interior of the cathedral is clearly discernible under a powerful rnagnifying glass. s..zz. s..

 the head of the. church, and number | to whom Dr. Maher has shown it have been greatly interested in it. During the seven years that Dr. Maher spent at Rome, he had many opportunities of | seeing and meeting Leo XIII, and he I was able to learn a great deal about the venerable pontiff. This informa-
 ton, which is of vital interest to a great many just now, Dr. Maher is formula

 this week on this interesting subject
 South Norwalk people are anxiously
 awaiting the date for his delivering the

 Paid by Employers to Keep Labor
 Peace, Severely ArraIgnsd by Judge
 NewbuIger.
 New York, July 31.-Lawrence Mur- phy, former treasurer of the Journey men Stonecutters' union, who was ar rested last December, charged with em- bezzling S12,000 from the labor organiza- tiOn, and who was convicted on Monday of grand larceny, was to-day sentenced by Judge Newburger, in Part II. of gen- eral sessions, to five years and six months in state prison.
 John F. Mcintyre, Murphy's counsel, asked for clemency for his client, but Judge Newburger criticised the prison CT severely, saying that he had spent the funds of the union in riotous living, and that his total stealings amounted to $27,000. While sentence was being pro- nounced Murphy interrupted by saying: This is a put-up job. I hope your hon. or will investigate my case" Judge Newburger leaned forward and said: T have letter from John Mitchell in which he states that part Of the money | embedded by Murphy was paid in by workingmen who belong to the society to be contributed to the strike funds of the miners. in Pennsylvania. .A T have received many letters and
 have heard personal appeals in behalf | of this defendant, but very few of his friends and interceders mentioned his | family. We find in the administration
 of civil law, not alone criminal, that those who suffer the most are the niem-
 bers of convicted mans family. While
 the father is in confinement, away from
 the eyes of, the world, it is they who
 have to bear the brunt of the disgrace
 But men should think of their families first. - 4.s#

 of ring used. have permitted ingenious substitutes. Shreds of tobacco, a sec- ton cut from a glove and the church key have thus used When the Duke
 of Hamilton and Miss Gunny suddenly determined to wed they were at their wits end to discover the necessary token. At last they were married with a ring of the bed curtain, says Horace Walpole lat half an hour past 12 at might at May Fair Chapel" Judging by certain allusions in Shakespeare and other early dramatists, rush rings were at one time in great vogue among the rustics of England. In D'Avernant's "Rivals'' you may lread: 'I'll crown thee with a garland | of straw, then-and I'll marry thee with rush ring An other writer laments the days twhen such simplicity was used that ring of rush would tye as Imueh love together as a gimmon of gold" But VOW witnessed by such a lfimsy must have been as easily broken as one in which St. Martins ring played a part. St. Martins rings are ! "faire to the eye and have rich out side. But ii a man should break them asunder and locke into them. they are nothing but brass and copper" These commercials obtained their name from their being made in the sanctuary of St. Martin 's-le-G Grand in the time of Henry ". Besides should look to their
 rings and be on their guard. '+#
 The Hebrews had reason, apart from precedents, to advance in favor of marriage rings. They considered them | to be under the influence of Mazel Fob
 or Jupiter, "the good star" The wife
 was presented with an emblem of Mazel
 Fob that her children might be born under it's influence. This superstition
 was shared by Munster, Aben-Ezra and Chomer. '- l On account of their "heathenisf
 origin rings wer abolished during the Commonwealth. The Puritans shared the prejudice, and the Friends and Swiss Protestants refuse to this day to be married with ring. But among American denominations the practice,
 at one time in abeyance, is becoming al- most universal.-San Francisco Chroni' cle,

THE LATE TiLRICH HAURY OF
 COLLINSVILLa


 s~o'linsville, July 31.--Ulrirh Haury, cha of the oldest residents of this place and very highly respec ed citizen, died a bis residence hera ,.n Wedres- day evening at 5:50 o'clock, after an ill- ness of seventeen weeks, at the age of sixty-eight years.
