w. Hudson Shaw, Canadian lee
turer and nom Catholic, makes bold
to remark that it is mot true that the
English people wanted the Reforma-
ton; it is not true generally that the
monasteries We're dens of corruption;
it is not true that all Roman Catholic
leaders Of the sixteenth century were
monsters of depravity and those of the
Reformation pure saints. 1t is not
true that after the Reformation men
lived better lives than they had lived
before. Prejudice may impel us to be-
lieve such comforting doctrines, but
the facts are otherwise" This will be
depressing news for many bigot ora
tor whose stock in trade is spouting on
the horrors of Catholicity in the Mid
die Ages, the Dark Ages, and, in fact,
all other ages, says the Catholic Union
and Times. But the world is moving.
The days Of the escaped nun" and
the converted" priest are numbered.
Encyclopedias and histories are being
rewritten and what they contain con-
corning the Church is being made more
truthful. Thousands are coming to
see the true light every day. Gods
Church is very old, but it is very
much alive. The Reformation romance
is dwindling into nothingness and, like
Knownothingism and A. P. Aism, soon
will be but memory.

The closing down of all the flour
mills in Minneapolis, for an indefinite
period, occurred last Thursday. Abou;
1000 men are thus thrown out of en-
ployment. Until Wednesday the man.
ayers of the mills did not expect that
such drastic action would be necessary
TO protect Them from heavy pecuniary
loss, but the lake transportation lines
made rate on wheat which the mill
lers believe is an intentional discrim-
nation in favor Of wheat as against
the manufactured product and in order
to avoid operating their plants at a
loss they concluded to shut down. Til
total daily capacity of the mills shut
down is over $4,000 barrels. While i,
is the most serious situation that has
confronted the milling interests here
for many years, there are nevertheless
evidences Of an early adjustment
which will prove satisfactory to all.

In Lily Land.

When the woman who loves flowers

she insisted on taking along her pet
Gala, says the "Troy Times" II

I do of that calla," she replied to her
husbands objections. "It will be full
Of blossoms this winter, and I would
not miss seeing them and smelling
them for anything"
So she and the Gala started. How

down and had a good cry!

passed away after only few hours
illness. Although he was 76 years
Of age he had been a man of good

One of her latest productions was
The poems Of Thomas Darcy MCGEE,
with an introduction and biographical
sketch Mrs. Sadlier was for several
years the editor of the New York
Tablet newspaper and had for as
sociates DR.. Orestes Brownson, DR..
Ives, formerly Anglican bishop of
Charleston, and Thomas Darcy Nc
Gee. The main object of her writings
was to benefit immigrants in America
and principally those of Irish nation
ality. Besides her vast literary work,
she was also largely connected with
many Catholic charitable institutions,
and assisted in founding The Home
for Friendless Girls, The Founding
Asylum, Home for the Aged The
Night Refuge etc. For the latter in
stitution she wrote the first page of
the first years annual report, and by
special request contributed the first
page to the twenty fifth anniversary
report.
Since 1880, Mrs. Sadlier made Mon
treal her home, only leaving it from
time to time for protracted visits to
New York. In March, 1895, she was
presented with the 'Laetare Medal by
the university of Notre Dame du Lac,
Ind, in recognition of distinguished
services rendered to the American
Catholic public. Though Of late years
Mrs. Sadlier had been unable to do
much literary work, she still took a
lively interest in the work of the day
and keenly followed the progress of
those charitable institutions with
which she had been so closely con-
nected in her earlier days.

In recent number of the Chicago
Citizen, James E. Dolan, national pres
ident Of the Ancient Order Of Hibern-
ians, came in for severe scorching
in leading editorial of that journal.
After careful examination, the aver
age reader will hardly understand why
such an assault should be made unless
it be through some personal animosity,
held by the editor against the national
president of the Order. Even if this
be so 1t is something the public has
no interest in, and the article, from
any point Of view, was in very bad
taste. Mr.. Dolan, as the head Of the
national organization of Hibernians,
has the confidence Of the members
everywhere. True, the A. o. H. may
not be conducted along lines entirely
satisfactory to the Citizen, still it is
thoroughly national in spirit, and the
cause Of Ireland has no more valiant
Or fervent friend than the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians. The editor of
the Citizen has done we'll his part in
the cause of Irish nationality. He
has always been a leader in any move
ment having in view the betterment
of the country Of his birth, but this
does not give him the right to sit in
judgment over his fellowmen having
the same ends in view, but simply diff
fering in methods through which they
may be reached. Such an onslaught
as that made by the Citizen on Mr..
Dolan is peurile, to say the least, and
unbecoming in any man
who would aspire to the leadership of
his people.

WAS A FAMOUS AUTHORIZES.

One of Ireland's most gifted daugh-
terS and Canada's most famous author
esses has passed away III the person
of Mrs. Mary Anne Sadlier, who died
at her residence in Montreal on SUM-
day last ut the advanced age of SO
years, says the Saturday Budget Of
Quebec. For considerably over half
century, Mrs. Sadlier's name was
one of the most cherished and honor
ed, especially by the Irish element in
the United States and Canada; to
whose service, especially during the
years Of the famine and the great
exodus from Ireland, she devoted her
able and graceful pen. The following
biographical sketch of the venerable
deceased and of her life work will in
terest many of her old admirers, as
we'll as those of the younger genera
ton, to whom she was known only
by repute:-
Mrs. Sadlier was the eldest daugh-
ter Of Francis Madden, Of Cootehill
county Cavan, Ireland, where she was
born on December 81, 1920. When
barely eighteen she began to contri-
butte to la Belle Assembled Lon
don magazine. published under the
patronage Of the Duchess of Kent.
She left Ireland III 1874. and two
years later married James Sadlier, Of
the firm Of d. 4 j. SAdlier, the great
Catholic publishers, Of New York, Bos-
ton and Montreal. Her life was large
~ spent III New York, and 1t was
there that she did some Of her best
work. One Of her first works was Il
collection of traditional stories, pub
lished in Montreal, entitled Tale Of
the Olden Time In one Of her num-
erous tales of Irish Immigrant life and
adventure, called Eleanor Preston,
there are some sketches Of Lower Can
ada rural life and scenery.
Morgan's Men and Women of Can
ada says: Mrs. Sadliers literary
works may be divided into three
classes: Firstly, the historical Irish
romance Of which Confederate Chief
tains' was most widely known, and
considered the best Of all her works;
secondly, her didactic and religious
works, original and translated, such
as DE Lgny's Life of the Blessed
Virgin" and The Life Of Christ both
from the French; and, thirdly, line
Of fiction, the romance of Irish immi-
grafton, in which she was considered
unrivalled. Among the latter are

A THREE CENT CAR FARE.

At the recent municipal election held
in Cleveland, Ohio, the most important
issue Of the campaign was that Of the
proposed reduction of street car fares
to three cents. Tom l.. Johnson, the
Democratic candidate for mayor, who
actively advocated the three cent rate,
was elected by sweeping majority
over his Republican competitor, who
had also pledged himself to reduc-
ton, though somewhat slighter, if
elected. That measure of reduction
should have been advocated by both
parties shows how popular the move
ment for a reduced rate had be-
come.
In Minneapolis movement is now
on foot having the same end in view.
Alderman Gerber Of the First ward
will soon introduce resolution in the
city council, it is said, providing for a
three-cent fare under certain condi-
tons. Briefly outlined ii means a
three-cents fare where the street car
passenger is not provided with seat
within two blocks after boarding the
car. Otherwise the old rate of five
cents is to remain undisturbed.
While the ordinance proposed by AL
derman Gerber is an excellent one,
there should be no conditions. That
is the view many will take Of it at
least. 10 say that passenger shall
not pay but three cents when two or
three or more blocks, for that matter,
have been passed without securing a
seat, will lead to confusion. There
can be no reservation. If the time has
arrived in this city, and The Irish
Standard believes it has, when three
cent fare is just and fair, not only to
the patrons, but to the company as
well, no question can be raised as to
the justice Of such a procedure.
1t seems to be generally understood,
taking the two cities into considera-
tion, that the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company's earnings are large
enough to enable it to pay dividends
on millions Of stock having no exist
ence whatever except on paper. It
this be true, and it will bear investiga-
ton, is there any valid reason why
a corporation enjoying such privileges
at the expense Of the public should
further continue to exact an exhor-
bitant figure?
The street car system of the twin
cities is one of the best in the coun-
try to-day. Admitting this to be truc
it can also be said with equal truth
fulness that the company under whose
guidance it is conducted is as much,
If not more, the gamer in this respect
than the public which it serves.
In the event Of u reduction of the
fare from to cents in Minneapolis
and st. Paul the volume of street Gu,
travel, already large, would be in
creased 90 per cent at least, SO that
the real reduction in revenue would
be very light. Without attempting ut
this time to assign the various reasons
why such action Is entirely justifiable,
it is safe to say that the question Of
reduction in street Car rates will
grow in popular demand and the time
is not far distant when it will become
reality in the twin cities.

A southern paper believes that, If
preachers would announce that the
wicked would have an eternity of
spring house-cleaning, instead Of a
punishment of fire, many men who
have groaned amid the discomforts of
having the home all torn up but who
have never been burned, would repent
Of their evil ways, says the Catholic
Columbian. This is making light Of
serious matter. But the annual
visitation made by broom and scrub
bhg-brush is indeed a terror to the
lovers Of ease.

the ultramontanes will show their
growing power. Among the measures
which the Center wishes to have
changed is the law of 1876, which
allows only citizens Of Saxony to hold
spiritual Office. The law provides that
no one cam hold priestly Office who did
not receive his education at German
gymnasium, seminary or university.
Furthermore, no priest can fill a relig-
ious office who was educated by the
Jesuits. 1t is charged, however, by
the Professionals Of Saxony that the
law of 1876 is frequently evaded by
the Catholics, with the silent support
Of the Saxon government. In connec-
ton with the above review of the
present ultramontane ascendency, it is
also interesting to note that the ruling
houses of Germany are becoming
Catholic. Both Bavaria and Saxony
are Catholic, and recently, through
the death of the heir-apparent of Wur-
temberg, the Catholic branch of that
state will come to the throne.
