A philosopher has said that true ed
ucation Of boys is 10 teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men"
First.-To be true and to be genuine.
No education Is worth anything that
does not include this. A man had bet
ter not know how to read and be- true
and genuine in action rather than TO be
learned in all sciences and In all Ian
guagcs and be at the same time false
in heart and counterfeit in life. Above
all things. teach the boys that truth IS
more than riches. power or possessions.
Second.-To be pure in thought, Ian
guage and hfe-pure in mind and body.
Third To be unselish, to care for
the feelings and comforts Of others, To
be generous, noble and manly This
will include II genuine reverence for
the aged and for things sacred.
Fourth TO be self reliant and self
helpful even from childhood TO be in
dustrious always and self supporting
at the earliest possible age. Teach
them that all honest work is honor
able that an idle life Of dependence
on others is disgraceful.
When boy has learned these things,
when he has made these ideas part OF
him. however poor or however rich, he
has learned the most important things
he ought to know

DEVOTION TO COUNTRY

Lesson Drawn From Day by Rev. F. H..
Dugan at st. Mary's.
Rev. F, Fl. Dugan, in an eloquent adj
dress at ST. Mary's cemetery this morning,
said in part
Out Of the experience which has come
to governments have been learned many
lessons. and foremost among these is
this: That when nation fails to pay just
tribute to the brave virtues OF it's living
or to remember it's illustrious dead such
q nation is in the throes of an inglorious
and disgraceful decadence.
mo nation has ever given to the world
q sublimer example Of patriotic virtue
than the United States. Such names as
Washington, Lincoln, Lee, Parker. Put
nam, Prescott and Gates are emblazoned
In history and shall be revered by human
ity as long as there f1ourishes in the HUI
man bosom love of liberty and justice.
IT place upon the highest pedestal of
civic virtue the soldier of the civil war,
and declare him hero amongst all heroes.
1.-THE church has this morning offered
the holy sacrifice of the mass for the eter-
nal repose Of all the brave soldiers who
lie buried in cemeteries. The lesson
which we are to learn from this great
holiday Is devotion to our country"

stand where C. Z. Smith delivered a
scholarly and eloquent address. He paid
glowing tribute to the boys in blue who
offered up their lives upon the altar of
liberty. as q sacrifice to Gid, that this
republic, of the people, for the people and
by the people, might endure forever. : He
,eulogized the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, living and dead. which made the glory
of cur flag the s,dr11irat ton and wonder of
the world and he honored the brave deeds
of brave men, living and dead.
Rev. p. A. Cool delivered the principal
address and his tributes to the glory OF
the past, with Its sacrifices and its hero
ism. brought tears to the eyes of his lis
teners and his efforts were applauded to
the echo. rs
Appropriate and beautiful music was
rendered by the Masonic and the Bry-
ant quartets.
The temporary stand partially collapsed
during Mr.. Smiths address and an acct
dent was narrowly averted All but the
speakers left the stand and the program
was but temporarily interrupted.

FRIARS DEFY
POPE LEO XIII.
They Openly Deny His Right to In
terfere in the Philippine
Land Question.

Rome, May so.-Cardinal Rampolla to-
day received in private audience the Rev.
Mr.. Vattrnann, chaplain of the Twenty
ninth United States infantry, who pre-
sented his report of the situation Of Cath
olicism in the Philippine islands. It ap-
pears that the idea Of having recourse to
arbitration in the mattersof the purchase
of the fr1ar lands, which was again fa-3
,vored after Archbishop Guilds arrival at
Mantle, is now looked upon coldly by the
interested parties.
Governor Taft and his colleagues Of the
Philippine commission are in doubt of the
feasibility Of again proposing arbitration,
fearing that the friars and the promoters
OF the companies interested In the sale
OF the lands In question may reject the
proposition Archbishop Guidi is faith
fully, carrying out the instructions which
he received in Rome, but the friars OPEN
.ly disregard them denying the right of in
reference on the part of the, pope in q
question which they consider to be entire
sly under the Jurisdiction Of the orders
whose interests are involved. However,
the hopes entertained Of the acceptance
Of arbitration have. not entirely been
abandoned. S.
