knights of Columbus.

In an address Oh the knights Of
Columbus, Very Rev. A. P. Doyle, the
distinguished Paulist Father, thus re-
fers to the order:
The knights of Columbus is
Catholic order having in it's principles
and ideas essential truths of the Cath
olic Church. 1t was inspired by re-
ligion, carried out by religion and it's
results must be religious fruits. Chris
tOpher Columbus discovered this new
hemisphere. He was the first Knight,
and the man who made the basis for
the order by his act. When he grew
to mans estate he was n religious
man, in the best term of the words,
and possessed of the divine belief that
there was great work for him to do,
and he set out to do it. Now, in look
ing through the years we can see him
come to the door Of monastery and
ask for food. Then we see nm per-
severe in spite Of scorn and believe
he is the true child of this century;
the 18th century, the awakening. At
San Salvatore he erected the cross,
and there began this order of knights.
Catholics had everything to do with
the discovery. They opened the way
to Isabella, they provided the funds
and equipped the expedition. 1t was
Catholic venture and the whole
means of it were Catholics. The
Catholic religion in America dates
from the first expedition, when six
natives, duly educated in the religion,
were baptized, the first six natives of
the Church. Those first six converts
of the 18th century began the fifteen
or sixteen million of the Goth cell
fury. Over 12O years before the Pill
grim Fathers landed, the Cabots had
erected the standards of the Catholic
religion, and then there were Cham.
plain, Cortez, De Soto, La Sale, who
spread their faith everywhere SO that
the seal of Catholicism is written
over this land. 1t was Catholicism
that first asserted and affirmed civil
and religious liberty for in Maryland
was enacted the statute of liberation
that is now incorporated in the con-
stitution Of the United States. Then
it was Catholic governor Of New
York, Thomas Duncan, who first called
together an assembly that was popu-
lar. Then New Lork was part Of
Canada, but he pushed away the Dor,
der line and made 1t part of the Eng
lish land. A movement has been in
stituted to bring nm- Catholics and
non-religious people into the faith,
and in connection with this zones the
order of knights of Columbus, won
derfully equipped, splendidly officered
and containing the brightest flower Of
Catholic laity. Your symbols are for
faith, hope and charity. Live up to
your high ideals; develop yourselves
in the religion.

$50 men, forming three divisions. The
fleet which had transported these large
forces, and which was to aid them
with it's cooperation, was of propor-
tionate strength.
On the night Of December % an ac-
tion was fought in which the English
lost about four hundred. This battle
saved New Orleans. Jackson had ac-
complished all that he wanted; he had
successfully opposed his raw troops to
veterans, and gloriously administered
to his undisciplined and new-Aedged
soldiers the baptism of fire. The re.
suit was that they now had confidence
in him and in themselves. He had
stunned the enemy by giving him a
sudden and unexpected blow which
made him reel back.
He gained time by it-the time
which he needed to fortify and receive
reinfOrcements. He made the enemy
believe that he was stronger than he
was, caused him to hesitate, and in.
spired him with doubts and apprehen-
sions which he did not entertain be-
fore. The oath was uneventful.
Christmas Day the Americans
strengthened their entrenchments. The
night Of the 26th the British dragged
guns from their ships to the land. De-
cember q began with a heavy cam
nonade from the British works. The
English were bent on destroying the
Carolina and Louisiana, two vessels
that were in the harbor. The fire
was centered on the Carolina, and,
while she was being knocked to pieces
the Louisiana was towed up the river
where no shot could reach her, b,.
where she could easily reach the Bril-
ish.
The English had destroyed mos
quito and missed hornet. The Amer
leans passed the night in the most
desperate skirmishing. On the morn
ing of the 28th the British advanced,
but the American land battery, aided
by the Louisiana, drove them back
with loss of between two and three
hundred, whilst the Americans lost
seven killed and ten wounded. The
whole British campaign was a series
of disasters. Confident of speedy
triumph, as they relied much on their
ships, the English spent three days in
dragging heavy guns from their fleet
Jackson did likewise, landing the heav-
lest guns from the Louisiana.
New Years Day, 1915, began with
,, a fire from the English batteries, in all
! twenty-eight guns, which had been
mounted during the night. Our reply
was as fierce as the enemy's attack,
although we had only ten guns, and

Of that time It became perceptible that
the enemy's fire was slackening-our
fire was more precise and effective.
"Yet," says Latour, "every advantage
was on the side of the English.
In about an hours time our balls dis
mounted several Of his guns, and when
the firing ceased the greater part Of his
artillery was unfit for service"
Thus far the English had been com.
pletely foiled, and we gave him no re.
pose in the intervals of his attacks.

stantly sounding in his ears, day and

advantage; we exercised our gun

day and his rest at night.

suspense was soon over. Daylight

treated. When the action began Jack
son walked along the lines, speaking
words Of good cheer to the men. "Stand
by your guns. Don't waste your am
munition. See that every shot tells.
Give it to them, boys. Let us finish
the business today"
Hardly one hour elapsed between
the first fire of the Americans and the
complete route of the English. Seven
hundred killed, fourteen hundred
wounded, five hundred prisoners, were
the dread result of that hours work.
Jackson's loss, as the world knows,
was eight killed and thirteen wounded.
The field, says an eyewitness, was so
thickly strewn with the dead that from
the American ditch you could have
walked a quarter of mile to the front
on the bodies of the killed and dis
abled. "This loss," says Gayarre,
twill appear still more extraordinary,
when it is considered that the enemy
had encountered only half Of our
troops"
General Jackson, having now estab-
lished his camp and headquarters at
New Orleans, extending to a distance
of about four miles all arounu, was ac-
lively engaged in providing to meet
any renewal of the attack and in
strengthening every point where it was
possible that the enemy might under
take to penetrate second time into
Louisiana. So effective We're his
measures that toward the end Of Janu-
ary the state was in condition to de-
fy double the force that had at first
attacked her.
A considerable number of the de-
tenders of New Orleans were of the
same origin as the hero of the fight.
One of these, Nicholas Sinnot, a '98
"rebel," who had fought at Oulart and
Vinegar Hill, was sent in command Of
detachment to which was entrusted
the charge Of Fort st. John. When
the sound Of the battle reached their
ears there was great difficulty in pre-
venting Sinnot from leading his men
to the scene of action. "There," said
he, "are the bloody Williams numbering
my countrymen. and myself stuck
down in this internal mudhole"
New Orleans would have been rich

selling at two shillings a pound. At
New Orleans were stored 10000 bales
of cotton, the product of two years.

half million sterling; all of which, a

And so it was; but not precisely In

newspaper. Besides this vast store
of cotton there were ten thousand

ITALIA hassee, Fla. April 1.-THE first
r.eek of the Florida Legislature show
al unusual activity in the introduction
If hills. In the House the bills aggre-
ted 1872. OF these eighteen were for
+ba repeal of the celebrated divorce
law. under which H. NJ. Flagner got
nc divorce, all of which were referred
N the Judiciary Committee. 10 Is
likely that one. of the measures will
he favorably reported, although it is
not certain that the law will be repeal
ed. Most of the old members who
voted for the law will be found op-
nosing the new bill, if it is ever
brought up for final passage.
The only anti-Flagler measure in
reduced in the Senate, was referred
10 the Judiciary Committee, of which
senator Raney, of Leon county, form
or Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
is chairman. The bill was reported ad-
versely, as was to have been expected,
as Mr. Raney was one of the sup
porters of the law at the last session.
The hardest fight of the week was
made in the House over McNamee' s
bill to validate the $4,000 bond is
sue of Hillsborough county. Consd-
cradle opposition was raised over his
effort to rush it rough shod through
the House. While debate was hottest,
a motion was put to make the bill a
special order of business for next
Wednesday, and then a motion to ad-
tourn prevailed.
The matter of postponing was again
brought up this morning The Speaker
ruled that under Rule As the motion to
postpone was out of order, when a
bill is on it's third reading, unless
when made it was coupled with a mo-
ton to suspend rules. Gilchrist did
not think the Speaker intended to be
unjust or dictatorial in his rulings, but
he believed that the decision was err
roneous, and appealed to the House.
St. Clair Abrams said he always
wanted to vote for UNFOLDING the chair
when in doubt upon any question, but
when there was no doubt in his mind
he was going to vote for what was
right He therefore hoped that the chair
would not be sustained. Rivers spoke
strongly in favor of upholding the de-
cision of the Speaker, because it was
not only plain, but imminently correct.
A great deal of time was taken up in
discussion when, on motion of St.
Clair Abrams, who did not wish to go
on record as voting against the presi-
dent. the House adjourned to Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The Judiciary Committee reported
favorably on House bill No. II for the
repeal of Section 1872 of the laws of
Florida. This is the law making in
durable insanity a ground for divorce.
No other business of Importance was
transacted.

FLOATING BATTERY
Has Been Invented by Millionaire
Stokes.

New York. April 11.-Anson Phelps
Stokes, the millionaire and philan-
thropist, has invented a floating bat
terry, designed for coast defense. 1t
IS spherical in form and resembles
IN some respects the famous Popuff
and Novgorod of the Russian navy.
The battery is intended to be con-
structed of steel and to carry two
guns of large calibre or one great
gun. Smaller guns may be mounted
on an upper deck. Mr.. Stokes do
sign contemplates holding the guns
rigid. They can be elevated or de-
pressed only by fitting the whole YES
sci by means of counterpoises.
Unlike the Russian batteries Mr.
stokes makes no provision for self
propulsion. The inventor claims that
mis- battery is economical in construc-
ton and maintenance, of great power
IN offensive operations, practically
lmpregnable and free from the dis
advantages attending previous designs
OF similar character.

practice drill of the composite troop
commanded by Capt. Lloyd M. Brett
in the drill hall at Fort Myer to-day.
The troop was galloping around the
field in column of twos, the brides of

the horse next to Matz faltered, while
his own animal cleared the obstruc-

Both horses were thrown heavily,
with Sergt Matz pinned to the ground
by the weight of both animals. The
accident threw the column into con-

nard After an Exciting Rum.
The Wiregrass Hunt Club held one
of it's most successful meets last week
at NARROW. About twenty members,
including a number of ladies, started
and every one was in at the death. One
of the largest foxes seen in that sec

consisted of ten dogs and they were
eager to go.
The hunters left Guyton at o'clock,
and at Pineora and NARROW were join
ed by other members. The chase
started short distance south of Mar

night. The rains of the day before
made it an ideal evening for running.
The hounds kept the scent without an

dogs ran as hard as they could go for
more than an hour, fairly splitting the
woods open, and the hunters had no
idea that Reynard could live before
them as long as he did. He resorted
to every practice to throw the
hounds off. He ran through
lots and yards at NARROW
as if he were one of the family but
he did not tarry. He drew the dogs
after him as if he were a magnet and
swept from one pine barren to another
like the wind.
The hunters saw the fox many times
before the dogs caught him, and
Member Neidlinger, although an old
fox hunter, is said to have become
greatly excited, arousing peaceful
slumbers for miles and miles with mis-
shouts.
