TURTLE FLESH.
The abandonment of the Animala
Gives the Worst Meat.


No one really knows how large a tur-
tie may grow, but certainly there does
not appear to be much il any exagger-
alton attached to the statements Of
Pliny and Strabo, who, describing the
chelonophagi. of the Red sea, say that
they utilized the shells of the turtles
they had eaten as roofs to their huts
and boats for their feeble voyages.
Strange to say, the handsomest tur-
tie, the hawks bill variety (Chelone i'm
bricata), furnishes the worst flesh, be-
ing so strongly favored with musk as
to be almost uneatable. This peculiar
ity would seem to point to a diet of
squid since these mollusca are exceed.
ingly musky. But it may not be out Of
place to remark here that turtle flesh,
even of the best Sorts is not nice. AS
Sam Weller's pieman hoarsely whis-
pered, Its the seasoning as does it."
A diet of turtle steaks or Of hashed
turtle or of turtle soup, au naturel,
would soon sicken any one but saw
age. For siapence or it's equivalent in
most of the West India island towns
one can get heaped plate of turtle
steak with bread or jams or sweet po-
tatoes ad lib. But 1 never knew even
hungry sailor who wanted more than
one meal a week of it, for all its cheap
ness. The fact is that in the cult Of
turtle soup we are following "a long
way off, it is true) the example set by
the Chinese. who love gelatinous soups
and pay fabulous prices for the nests
OF the sea swallows the holothuria, Or
sea slug, and the sharks fins because
of their gelatinous qualities. = Frank

He Wasn't Ashamed.

A clark and his country father en-
tered restaurant Saturday evening
and took seats at table where sat a
telegraph operator and a reporter. The
old man bowed his head and was
about to say grace, when a waiter
flew up, singing, II have beefsteak,
Goldfish balls and bullheads." Father
and son gave their orders, and the
former again bowed his head. The
young man turned of a blood-red beet,
and touching his fathers arm, ex-
claimed in low, nervous voice:
Father, it isn't customary to do
that in restaurants"
Its customary with me to return
thanks to God wherever 1 am," said
the old man.
For the third time he bowed his
head, and his son bowed his head, and
the telegraph operator paused in the
act of carving his beefsteak and bow
ed his head, and the journalist pushed
back his fish ball and bowed his
head, and there wasn't man
who heard the short and simple pray.

spect for the old farmer than if he

remained true to Cleveland and the
old Democracy" So think that Mr..
Murphy will not influence many Cath
olic Democratic voters" For my part,
1 believe that the interests Of our
church will be as safely guarded by
Parker, if elected, as by Roosevelt, If
continued in power. Between the two
men, would rather trust the conserva-
tive, steady minded judge than the er-
ratio and pugnacious swashbuckler.
Evidently, in some inexplicable or
crafty way, the Republicans are max
ing a mighty effort to capture the
"Irish" and the Catholic vote, so
called; but our people are apt to d-
vide politically, as usual, and will not
be stampeded by the new 'sfoppers''
and their honeyed or alarming declara-
tions. They cannot 'deliver the
goods.'

law, love of God. and these are the
noblest sentiments thar move the hui
man soul, and they are just as noble
in a woman rs they are in a man.
One day, while toying with a mag
net, l could not but notice how it at
tracted and drew unto itself the bits
of steel scattered among grains of sand
in an old work box. AS those bits of
metal We're drawn to the magnet, ad-
herring to- it in thousand fine points,
while the grains Of sand fell powerless
away, so the principles on which our
society is founded should draw out and
bind together in an inseparable whole
the women of true Irish metal. This
society ought to attract like magnet
all women of true Irish character.
10 other orders of the same high
caste we give the praise due to the
sublime accomplishments, but where
shall we find loftier theme than
Union, a sweeter sentiment than that
embodied in the word Friendship or Il
tenderer Offering to all that is holy in
human thought than True Christian
Charity?
We, as members of this order, sworn
to live up to its grand principles, her
aid Il nobler maternity than the world
has dared to dream of, and are there
fore the heralds of nobler manhood,
nobler society, and Il nobler humanity
The strong and serious women of the
future must be daughters of our gene
ration, and we, as members of this
society, are trying to so shape our lives
that our voices and our images will
guide them from the shadows of an
cient bondage to a companionship with
men, in which the perfect harmony Of
action will reshape the society of the
world and establish beneath this new
order a whittier and happier common
wealth.

NOT EASILY DONE
Frightening Catholics Into Voting
for Roosevelt.
Cannot "Deliver the Goods" Says
James r. Randall.

Our friend, Hon. Dominick 1. Muir
ply, is trying to frighten the Irish into
voting for Roosevelt, says James R.
Randall, the noted Catholic writer, in
the Catholic Columbian. He was an
able and energetic Cleveland Office
holder, and is now a Roosevelt official
with large salary and in a RESPONSE
BILE position. 1 am glad that he has
the place and quite confident that he
will adorn it and earn his large sal
ary. OF course. he had n perfect right
to change his politics, if so disposed,
but l regret to observe that while the
Boston Pilot assails it's old Democratic
friends on the Know Nothing side of
the Irish vote" Mr.. Murphy attempts
to scare the Catholics, of all national
tiles, but Americans by birth or adop-
ton, into the Republican camp. He
paints lurid, rather hysterical pic
ture of what he imagines-for cam
paign purposes Parker would
do, if elected, in the Philippine ISL
ands. The judge, once in the White
House, we are told, will withdraw the
United States soldiers and that would
be the signal for Aguinaldo to murder
all the priests and Aglipay to aposta-
tie all the Catholic Filipinos. Judge
Parker, If president, would not play
the fool. He could not, on his own no.
ton, recall the garrisons of the ISL
ands. 1t is mere surmise that Aguin-
aldo or anybody else would assassinate
The Irish standard., 1904-10-08

the religious. If Aglipay can draw the
bulk of the Filipino population into
heresy, they are a poor lot of Catho-
lies and hardly worth the labors Of
their conversion. 1t is true that Eu-
ropean nations were, during Luther's
time, false in large degree, to the
faith of their fathers, and the Filipi-
nos may initiate this evil example; but
some attention must be given to great
principles, though the heavens fall, and
if we cannot keep the Filipinos in the
fold, except by imperialism and bay.
onets, plus Roosevelt, the new Defend
er of the Faith, am in favor of main
tanning the principles and allowing the
Filipinos to depart. But Mr.. Murphy
himself, knowing that congress exists
and that the senate, in case of Parker's
election, holds him in check, cannot
seriously believe that the sanguinary
picture he paints is anything but Il neat
political scarecrOw. doubt if the
Pilot will get many new recruits by
its flop, and no Catholic of ordinary in
telligence and principle need be fright
ened into the Republican camp by Mr..
Murphy, who, while an excellent and
reputable gentlemtn, has become, as it
were, courtier of the powers that be.
However impulsive it may be, the
majority of Catholics appealed to by
him will say: "He is Roosevelt's Of

way. We might listen to him with

Candidate For State Treasurer.

The Saltwater Messenger, in a re-
cent issue, thus speaks of Hon. Byron
]. Mosier, Democratic candidate for
state treasurer:
When a political party places in
nomina ton men of known integrity for
important positions. it is good judg-
ment on the part of the people to take
cognizance of it's action.
The Democratic party of this state,
at it's recent state convention, nomi-
mated Byron J. Mosier, of this city, for
the office Of state treasurer. Mr.. Mo-
sier has been resident of Saltwater
for the past 33 years. His every ac-
ton has been as an open book to the
people of this city. He is known and
trusted as man of unimpeachable
honor, a man of good moral character,
and one in every way worthy of any
promotion the people of this state can
bestow upon him, irrespective of party
predictions. He was not an aspirant
for the office, but accepted the honor
as matter of duty that he feels he
owes to his party.
Mr.. Mosier has led an active and
busy life from boyhood. Love of coun-
try is responsible for his enlistment
when young boy in defense of the
Union during the long and bloody war
of the rebellion. Naturally he has a
warm place in his heart for all old SOL
| diers, has done much in their behalf
and should be remembered by them
when they cast their vote for state
| treasurer next November.
He has established an extensive busi-
ness in the wholesale and retail cigar
and tobacco trade and has a multitude
of patrons in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin.
That his neighbors and friends be-
lieve him worthy of confidence is evil
denced by the following summary of
places of trust imposed upon him:
Served the city of Saltwater as
member Of the city council.
Appointed surveyor general of logs
and lumber for the First district under
Governor Lind.
Member of Democratic state central
committee for eight years.
Treasurer of Democratic state cen.
tral committee for four years.
Treasurer of the saltwater Encamp
ment, No. %, 1. o. o. F., for 13 years
Treasurer saltwater Lodge, No. 179
B. P. o. E., for Is years and then
elected to the Office of Exalted Ruler.
At the present time he holds the Of
flee of Junior Vice Commander OF
Crook Post, No. 60, G. A. r.
Was aid on the department staff un
der Department Commander Adam
Marty, Captain Harries and Captain
Mahan.
The Irish Standard heartily indorses
what has been said of Mr.. Mosier
Minnesota would cast lustre upon itselt
by his election as state treasurer.

Colonel Baltlett, of Georgia, tells Of
a colored Baptist preacher who hates
tobacco. On one occasion, meeting an
aged brother with very strong old
pipe in his mouth, he said:

so glad. then went to the seaside
and spent Il few weeks. 1 visited the
city Of Limerick, the city of the vio-
lated treaty, and also went into Tip
perary. The new land bill has pro-
duced great changes in Ireland. The
tenant to-day is most independent; not
as he was in former yeras, when he
almost had to take his hat off to the
landlord. The tables have been turn
ed, and it is now the landlord who
takes his hat off to the tenant. The
new measure has been Of great bene-
fit to the people, and evidence of it is
shown Oh every hand. The United
Irish league has done great work, and
John Redmond is the man of Ireland
to-day. All have the fullest confidence
in his ability to wrest from the Eng
lish government a measure Of home
rule at no distant date. Everywhere
the people spoke highly of the Irish
in America and the valuable assistance
they are giving to the old land. 1t is
as it should be, for we are power in
this land and England breads the
Irish in America. Then let us work
together for that dear old land which
is making such hard fight for it's
right to govern itself.
while in Ireland 1 always looked
out for the Irish Standard, which was
sent to me every week while away.

SOCIETY AND DIVORCE.
Sad Pictures That Might Be Multi
piled By Thousands.

p1Acu Dy 1uOuSduuS.
In large Western city there resided
widow and her daughter, both beau
tiful women, says Ellen NJ. Henrotin
in the World To-day. They had large
means, good health and good spirits,
were devoted to each other, pride
and joy to their friends. Into their
Eden entered serpent in the guise
of man of wealth and good family
who had ill-treated his wife and pri-
vately obtained a divorce from her in
an underhand way. He married the
mother, but was so attentive to the
daughter that she was finally obliged
to leave home and reside with her
grandparents. The man soon tired of
his wife and went off to Europe, leav-
ing her broken-hearted. He is now
trying to obtain her consent to d.
vorce that he may marry a third time.
Yet this man. is favorite in London
among certain set of Americans,
many Of whom know his story.
A man, young, wealthy, clever and
strong-willed, married girl of equal
wealth and will. Three sons and two
daughters were born to them. Both
father and mother were devoted to the
children, but even this bond could not
hold them together, and they seriously
disagreed. The wife, in spite of the
remonstrances of her husband, left
him and took the children. She final
ly obtained divorce and went to
Europe with the family, where she re-
sided until her death. When the sons
were of an age to go to the univer-
stiles, they came to America and lived
under their fathers care, but neither
father nor sons were happy, for they
were strangers to each other.
When the eldest daughter was 1S
she came to America and visited her
father. They became fast friends, she
took the head of his house, and as he
was now more or less of an invalid,
she remained with him until his death.
These brothers and sisters dearly
loved each other and the eldest son
often spoke Of their grief at being
separated.
| Another case of married man who
''fell in love-" as he called it, with
another woman, secured a divorce in
Dakota and married her. His two
sons were left with their mother, and
she, as well as the father, was jealous
Of their affection. 1t was a game of
cross-purposes, and the eldest once ex-
claimed after painful interview with
his mother: "Will the day never come
in which can tell the truth? Never
since was child have I been al
lowed to tell the truth to either father
or mother without scene."
