Cathollcity in London.

In chapter on Religious Influ-
ences" in the final volume of "Life
and Labor of the People of London"
Mr.. Charles Booth of the Salvation
Army speaks thus of the power of the
Catholic Church among the poor Of
London:
"The reality of the power of the
Church of Rome is as remarkable with
the cultivated classes as with the
rougher, with those who have all
worldly advantages no less than with
those who have none. For poor and
rich alike their religion seems to be
their greatest possession. True relig-
ion, whenever met, brings with it this
equality before God. Among those of
rank, wealth and fashion, whether
hereditary or newly won converts,
their faith enters into, and 1 think,
governs their lives to degree rare
among Professionals. One cannot mix
with them, or enter their places Of
worship, or talk with the priests and
fathers, or have audience Of the,
Church without being conscious of
this. All seem to have a common
spirit, all to be working with a COM
mon aim; every institution the Church
possesses comes into line, every re-
source is brought into play"
Again, speaking of the clergy in the
poorer districts of London, Mr.. Booth
gives the following picture of the
lives of the Catholic priests:
''The priests live as poor men
among the poor. Their food is SIM
pie, their clothes are threadbare: thew
take few holidays. They live from
day to day-if they have a shilling
in their pocket no one in want will
ask in vain. Abstemious and self
constrained themselves, they are vet
lenient judges of the frailties that are
not sins, and of the disorder that is
not crime. This kindly gentleness is
after the event; at the time no one
could be more uncompromising in de-
nunciation or more prompt in inter-
fcrence0

Desdemona, Celia, Ophelia and Olivia.
She was playing in Macauley's thea
ter, Louisville, KY, when Mary An
derson made her first stage appear
ance there, in November, 1875, and
this fact alone, carrying her stage life
so many years back, would seem to
entitle her to the future leisure of q
well-spent life. 1t is quarter of a
century. in truth, since she was first
seen on the stage by the man who
more than any ether shaped her career
and fortunes Manager Augustin DAILY.
She was playing in Albany in 1877,
and DAILY was so struck by her acting
that he engaged her the next year, and
from that time until his death her pro-
fessional fortunes We're identified with
his own. 1t may seem like an in
justice to Miss Rehan to say that she
was one of his "manager-made stars"
and that after his death she never
made up to her performances of the
past. but she has yielded at least a
tacit assent to this assertion. At all
events, DAILY took this bright Irish
girl, "a diamond in the rough" and
made perfect gem of her. In addi-
ton to fulfilling yearly engagements
at his theatre in New York city, Ada
Rehan appeared with the Daily COM
pany in London and Paris, in both
cities winning unstinted commenda-
ton.
Her rank as coincidence of the
first class was long since established,
when she was acknowledged to be
''the equal in high comedy and SUPER
ior in farce of any actress of her
time" Her buoyant and mirthful
spirits, her facile, delicate art, her
sympathetic intelligence, her ability
to express the many moods and phases
Of human nature have captured null
titudes Of hearts and held them to the
end. Perhaps there is no other living
actress who is regarded with so much
Of love mingled with aspirati ton, and
yet she has persisted in lifelong
mystifcation Of herself, being retiring
by nature and always denying herself
to reporters and strangers in general.
Her womanly qualities have endeared
her to many, her earnest devotion to
art has won Others but, whatever the
charm about her that has proved the
way to success, there is no doubt that
she has won it.

ADA REHAN,
Popular Irish Actress viii Return
to the Stage.

Announcement is made that Ada
Rehan is to return to the stage next
season. This announcement will be
hailed with delight by the friends Of
the greatest American coincidence.
When the late Augustin Daily passed
away, the shock was a severe one.
Miss Rehan retired at that time and
disappeared from the public view.
Born just forty-two years ago, she
lived five years in her birthplace
Limerick, Ireland-as child Chasing
the butterflies through the asphodel
and clover on the Shannon's tiowery
banks" and when scarcely past five
years of age she came to the United
States. Her fathers name was Gre
han, the actress "stage name" Rehan
being merely variant of the patro-
nymic. Her first residence in the
United States was Brooklyn. One Of
her sisters was married to Oliver
Doud Byron, the actor, who, in 1874,
was presenting "Across the Cont
nent." 1t happened that one night an
actress in Byron's company became
i'll. and little Ada Rehan, then only
fourteen years of age, took her place.
She filled it SO we'll that her family
decided she had special talent for
tie stage and should adopt it as Il
vocation. Her first formal appearance
was in Newark. N. j.. and, although it
is likely the young and awkward girl
did not make a great impression Mt the
time, she stuck to her choice and
carved out for herself, as the world
of players and play-lovers now
knows. n career second to none in her
profession.
Her first success was scored in
1874 at Woods Museum. New York
city, where she appeared in "The
Thoroughbred" and during the four
years following she was successfully
a member of the companies of Edwin
Booth. Adelaide Nelson, John T. Ray
mond, John Mccullough and Lawrence
Barrett, impersonating such roles as

and obeyed the laws he traced from
Sinai. AS prosperity rots him, he per-
isles; when he forgets, as some Of
our race are forgetting, his glory
passes away. This is no novel propo-
sition; it is the law. God and nature
have decreed that when trees become
sapless they snap and fall. If our
race is to make its mark and preserve
it's identity, it must prepare for the
new conditions. The energies which
We're wasted in acquiring the dubious
title Of the fighting race must be
turned into new and peaceful chan
nels. The men of the twentieth CEN
tury will be manufacturers, mer-
chants, financiers, engineers, men of
executive ability and technical train
ing. There may be place some
where for the born genius who does
things by inspiration and intuition,
but it will probably be in a museum.
SO far, the history of man seems to
show that results are achieved by
work. When the Garden of Eden was
closed man was advised that his
bread should be earned by the sweat
OF his brow; the garden is still closed,
and the necessity of labor still exists.
lie who succeeds must prepare,
study, train and work patiently and
persistently to acquire that skill and
knowledge which spell power. There
is no other road to power and wealth
except the highway wet with sweat;
that road the old, hardy, peasant Irish
Immigrant Travelled, and that road
his children must travel, or call the
Jew and Italian their masters. The
Irish give too much attention to law
and medicine; humanity takes neither
with pleasure and only under COM
pulsion. Go into trade and industry.
IN the coming century one school of
technology and good textile school
in Fall River or Lowell will make
more bread winners than half
dozen colleges: and one man who
learns how to build locomotive will
do more to advance his race than Il
hundred cooling their heels in Il law
office. When these facts have been
instilled into the Irish heads and with
out any accompanying salve; when
we devote less time, to race glorifica-
ton and more time to race rehabita-
ton; when we Z cstand that races

dustry. We will thus succeed in lift
ing the race up to the plane their
native talents intended them to
occupy. II we keep on ignoring the
experience Of the ages, and imagine
that success comes to him who whis-
ties, and not to him who works, we
will fall and drop to the rear with
the weak, inefficient and unworthy; to
be hcwers of wood and drawers Of
water for the races now coming in,
who, having gained knowledge and
wisdom, profit by them. 1t remains
for. the Irish to say whether they will
lead the Italian and Jew by virtue of
work and accomplishment, or follow
them by lack of these The Irish
themselves must say whether they
will be masters or servants.
