der, We're invested with the habit of
the Christian Brothers, at the Ammen-
dale novitiate, Maryland, on the eve
of the feast of the assumption.
The exercises We're presided over by
the Rev. Bro. Inner, provincial Of the
order in the United States, who like
wise delivered the address to the can
didates. In his discourse, the speaker,
after referring in beautiful manner
to the feast on the morrow, took occa-
sion to show how the mother of God
is the model Of the religious teacher,
since his life, like hers, is a hidden
and humble one. At the conclusion
of the address, few encouraging re-
marks We're made by Bro. Joseph, WIS.,
itor of the New York province. The
ceremony of investment then took
place and the candidates received the
religious names by which they will
be known as members of the order.
The exercises concluded with benedic-
tion of the most blessed sacrament.
The names Of the new members are
as follows: Thomas Kelly, of Boston,
who received the name of Bro. Angel
us Thomas; Joseph Wolber, of Detroit,
Bro. Clement Gregory; Charles Nc
earthly. New York city, Bro. Charles
of Jesus; Claude Ostrander, of New
burCh n V PRO RaSi1iuS Francis.
John Brady, New York City; Bro. An
gelus Raphael; Joseph Garvey, of Prov
idence, r. L., Bro. 4Alban Aloysius;
Francis Hennessy, of Toledo, O., Bro.
Anastasius Cyril. May the example
of these seven generous souls find
many imitators among the noble young
men of our land! A booklet, descrip-
tive of the Brothers work, will be sent
on application to Bro. Austin, AM

I know the casket was narrow and
small,
One yard would have served for an
ample pail,
An a man in his arms could have
borne away
The rosewood and its freight of clay;
But l know that darling hopes were
hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
know that mother stood that day
With folded hands by that form of
clay;
l know that burning tears were hid
Meath the dropping lash and aching
lid;
And know her lip and cheek and
Were almost white as the baby's now.
1 know that same things were hid
away,
Inc crimson frOck and WrapplngS gay;
The little sock and the half-worn shoe,
The cap with its plumes and tassels
blue;
And an empty crib, with its covers
spread,
AS white as the face of the sinless
dead.
IT'S little grave-but oh, have care
For worldwide hopes are buried there;
And We, perhaps, in coming years,
May see, like her, through binding
tears,
How much of light-how much of joy,
Is buried with an only boy.

MAYOR HAYNES OUR CHOICE.

James G. Haynes and Orville Rine-
hart are the only candidates thus far
for the Democratic nominate for
mayor. Others may enter the race,
however, before the end of the month.
The present mayor has in the judy
ment Of the Irish Standard, made a
splendid record as compared with
that of number Of his predecessors,
and it seems strange that there should
be opposition to his denomination We
do not believe that there is any
other man the Democrats might select
who could poll as many votes this
fall as the present executive of the
city. Even with united party back
ing him, which any Democratic can
didate should have, he should also
be a man who could draw heavily
from the independent silent vote
which so often turns the tide to VIC
tory. Mayor Haynes, we believe, is
just the man who can do this. Since
he became chief executive of the city,
municipal affairs have been conduct
ed in n manner calculated to satisfy
ut least very large majority of the
people, it being impossible. of course,
to please all. There have been no
| scandals In connection with any of the
departments under executive control,
no public meetings held to denounce
the mayor for one reason or another.
The only complaint that we have no.
ticed is from those who, being unable
to secure appointments either for
themselves or their friends, are not
willing to give the mayor credit for
having done the best he could in this
respect under trying circumstances.
When the general welfare of the
municipality is mt stake. these petty
chickering's and disappointments should
never be made an issue. When there
are, for example, a thousand appli-
cants for places and but one hundred
to give out, is it not better to make
\ sure that the hundred are retained
than to lose all by turning the city adj
ministmtion over to the opposite party.
In reviewing the political history of
the executive department Of the city
government for the past twenty-five
years, it will be noticed that it has
been disastrous policy for the party
in power to change candidates when
the affairs of the city were running
smoothly, as they are at the present
time. In 1881 A. G. Rand retired from
the office of mayor. after having serv,
! ed two or three terms. So we'll salts
fed were the people with his admin
istration that he could no doubt have
been reelected, but the Republican
convention nominated G. NJ. Lorine
and that esteemed citizen was defeat
ed by 1880 votes by DIR. A. A. Ames
The latter gave us one Of his charac
teristic "wide open" administrations
which in 1884 resulted in his defeat
by Geo. A. Pillsbury by over 6,0O(
votes. In 1886 the Democracy, will

MRS. RODGERS WINS.
Women's Catholic Order Of Foresters
Again Elect Presents Chief,

At the closest and most exciting
election in the history of the Woman's
Catholic Order of Foresters, Mrs.
Elizabeth Rodgers was reelected high
chief ranger. She was victorious af-
ter the hardest fight she or any other
woman ever made for an office.
The entire night was spent in vot-
ing and the counting of ballots, and
the results were not known until z
o'clock Friday morning.
The contest between Mrs. Rodgers
and Miss Goggin was so close that the
result could not have been foretold
and through the night as the votes
were counted it was almost impossible
to tell to whom the election would be-
long. Mrs. Rodgers majority was on
ly fifty-two. Twenty-seven more votes
for Miss Goggin would have elected
her.
Out of the sixteen offices on the
high board the Rodgers faction secur-
ed nine and the opposition party sew
en-; so it is plainly evident that the
convention was nearly evenly divided.
The Rodgers party was solid for it's
candidates. while the opposition party
lost strength through the independent
candidates, who refused to pull out.
Miss Julia O'Brien, on the Rodgers
ticket, was elected high secretary with
a majority of five votes over her
rival, Mrs. Catherine Hughes, who
previously held the Office.
Miss Catherine Birmingham, the
only strong candidate for high treas
urer and a Rodgers woman, was
chosen.
DR.. Anna Dwyer, on the opposition
ticket, as we'll as Mrs. Rittman, was
reelected high medical examiner with
the largest majority received by any
candidate.
Francis Mcdonald, another Rodgers
candidate, gained the attorneyship
with IL votes majority. The independ-
ent candidates for this Office polled
81 votes among them.
The following trustees were elected:
Miss Annie Daley, Chicago; Mary Tim
mony, Michigan; Anna Klarkowski,
Chicago; Margaret FLIP, Chicago;
Marie Cyr, Chicago; Tessie Murphy,
Chicago, and Mrs. Annie synon, Chi
cago. -Four Of these were on the
Rodgers ticket and three on the opposi-
ton.
The high auditors chosen were Min
ME Duffy, Mrs. Mary Rayburn and
Catherine Phillips, two being on the
opposition ticket and one on the
Rodgers.
The total number of votes cast were
SOB, and of this number the vote for
the Minneapolis woman was over $50,
showing a strong support Of the local
candidate.
Less than 200 delegates were in the
church Friday morning when the re-
suits of the election were made known
by the Judge, Mrs. Margaret Graves.
The expression Of joy among the
victorious took the form of wild cheer
ing and congratulations expressed in
hugs and kisses and some of the

Our poverty Of verse and verse
writer's in these days of commercial
ism is in keeping with our poverty
of patriotism, says the Inter- Mountain
Catholic. Oliver Wendell Holmes
wrote best in the dark days of the
civil war, when the soul Of the great
Lincoln, burdened awhile by the
thoughts of foreign intervention to
crush the armies Of the North, was
cheered at length by the presence Of
Russia's fleet to thwart the designs
of England and France. 1t is better
that Oliver Wendell Holmes now
sleeps in New England churchyard
than live to witness the Reputation
by Americans of the poem he wrote on
the occasion Of the great meeting Mt
Boston to welcome the Grand Duke
Alexis some years ago. In the poem
this verse was sung:
Bleak are our shores with the blasts
of December.
Throbbing and warm the hearts that
remember
Who was our friend when the world
was our foe;
Fires Of the North in eternal COM
muniOn,
Blend your broad flashes with even
ing's bright star;
God bless the empire that loves the
great Union,
Strength to her people! Long life to
the car!

FRED B. SNYDER

One of the aspirants for the nomin~
alton for judge of the district court at
the coming primary election is Fred
Is. Snyder, whose name will appear on
the Republican ballot. Many good
things can be said of Senator Snyder
that will tend to make him popular
With the voters. Here are some of the
reasons advanced by his friends which
it is claimed should entitle him tr
recognition. AS alderman of the Seq
ond ward. one of his first acts was
the introduction and passage of
resolution abolishing the old transfer
station on bridge square. He also
supported and voted to pass over the
mayors veto the Harvey ordinance,
creating the present transfer system,
He also introduced and had passed the
ordinance creating the department Of
gas inspection in Minneapolis, and It
was through his efforts that gas was
reduced thirty cents per thousand to
consumers. Mr.. Snyder also served
two years in the house and four years
in the senate. He was fair in his
votes for all measures and was re-
spected by capital and labor. The
Torrents system and other meritorious
measures were introduced and passed
through his efforts. Senator Snyder
studied law with Lochren, McNafr
and Gilfillan. He graduated from the
university in 1881 and has practiced
since, standing high in his profession.
He is son Of Simon P. Snyder, who
came to this city in 1856.

There is an old saying that "God
is good to the Irish" And indeed it
does look as though he were in the
matter of mining, says the Tonopah
Miner. Take, as example, some of
the big fellows in this country, men
who from penniless beings became
millionaires. Here are a few who
may be cited off hand: James G..
Fair, William O'Brien, James Flood
and John w. Mackey. These were
the four who made their millions on
the Comstock in Nevada, and not one
of them was dollar ahead of the
game until he struck the Comstock.
Burns, of the Portland, in Colorado.
is another example, although to tell
the truth we are not quite sure wheth-
er he is good Irishman or a bad
Scotchman; it is just possible that he
came from the lowlands; but there is
Jimmy Doyle, there is no doubt about
him; he who carried on, and is still
carrying on such a bitter warfare
against Burns of the Portland, in his
efforts to make Burns do the right
thing And then we have Thomas F.
Walsh; he is Tipperary man, now
worth his millions, and possessed
moreover with an excellent idea of
how properly to disburse them. Yes,
God is good to the Irish miners.

Cardinal Vanutelli is having the
time of his life in Ireland. There are
addresses galore and cheering as only
the Irish can cheer. However, as the
Duke Of Norfolk and some of the Eng
lish bishops keep close to his eminence,
there can be little fear that the cause
of Ireland will be very materially
benefited at the vatican, says the San
Francisco Leader. The great Catho-
lie duke is not by any means dear
friend of Ireland, and while he is by
the cardinals side the latter can
scarcely gather much to the credit of
Ireland worth carrying with him to
Rome. 'Tis pity that man like the
Duke of Norfolk should be so honored
as he has been on Irish soil.

Ames as its standard bearer, was
again returned to power by about the
same majority that had been given to
! Mayor Pillsbury. In 1888 the Demo-
| Gratis nominated p. B. Winston for the
! first time and he was defeated by
Capt. E. c. Babb. After an admin
istration Of two years, Capt. Babb
failed to secure denomination and E..
G. Potter was named. The Democrats
again nominated Mr.. Winston, who Sc.
cured a majority of goo. Mr.. Win
ston's administration was in all re-
spects similar to that of the present
mayor, and had he chose to run again
he would without doubt have been re-
elected. He refused to enter the race,
however. and the Democrats had to
place new candidate in the field, in
the person Of James c. Haynes, our
present mayor, who:.failed of election
by narrow margin, his successful
competitor being William H. Eustis.
The latter served one term, during
which time he was continually at war
with one or the other of the various
elements of the cities population. He
gave up the task and the Republicans
nominated Robert Pratt. The latter
possessed lot of sound sense which
served him handily, and for four years
he gave the city the kind of govern
ment that the people seemed to want,
just what they are enjoying at the
present time. The Republicans made
a mistake when they failed to renom-
mate Pratt in 1898. They substituted
Alderman E. E. Webster, whom Jas.
Gray defeated easily. Mayor Gray
gave the city a clean and business
like administration, but the fates
were against him in 1900. The pri-
mary law came into effect and with it
the irrepressible DIR. Ames. who had
now become a full fledged Republic
can. The Democrats renominated
Gray, and Ames was chosen by the
Republicans. w. ]. Dean was in
duced to run as an Independent can
didate in the hope that either he or
Gray would be able to head off the
genial DOCTOR" but the effort failed.
In the three-cornered fight in which
Mayor Gray made a splendid run I'M
der the circumstances, DR.. Ames was
elected. The rest is known. After
the terrible nightmare the city ex-
perienced during the trying period
from January, 1901, to January, 1903,
there was much satisfaction among
the people when, after the election in
the fall of 1902, it was known that J.
G.. Haynes was elected mayor. Dur
ing all the years we have gone over,
the experience has been that men of
his caliber have, when renominated,
been retained in office. He has the
elements of strength possessed by his
predecessors, Rand, Winston, Pratt
and Gray, and for these reasons we
believe he should be renominated by
his party, and with him at the head
of the city ticket once more the
chances of success would be greatly
enhanced.

w. II. Williams has flied for the
Democratic nomination for congress in
the Minneapolis district. James Gray
and Julius J. Heinrich are also con-
sidering the matter of making the
run. 1t is hoped that either one or
both will file within the next few
days, thus giving the Democrats a
good field to select from. Congress
man Lind has gone to Montana for n
few weeks. He positively refused to
enter politics again, either for con-
gress or governor. There is strong
probability, however, that the state
convention next Tuesday will nomin-
ate him for place on the supreme
court bench.

good news Mr.. Redmond carries with
him to the friends of Ireland in Amer
lea. Here in Ireland only unity, or.
ganization and agitation are needed to
bring the landlords to their senses,
and settle the land question. With its
settlement the last and most powerful
argument used in England against
home rule will finally disappear, and
its speedy accomplishment be assured.

BYRON TROUBADOURS
This Musical Com binatiop Delighted
Two Large Audiences Here
Last Week

The Byron Troubadours was the
name of the attraction on the peoples
lecture course, that gave one of the
most delightful entertainments of
the season at the opera house on Fri
day evening last. A large audience
listened to the sweet music furnished
by the colored gentlemen who com.
posed the organization and laughed
at the happy southern songs which
they sang during the progress of the
entertainment.
The company had an open date on
Saturday evening, and w. Benedict
prevailed upon them to give second
entertainment on that evening, and
the large audience which was present
on that occasion was good test
imonial of the public appreciation of
their work as one can we'll find.
Although the prices for the second
evening were very low still Mr..
Benedict is deserving of much credit
for having prevailed upon the COM
pany to give the citizens of this city
a second opportunity to listen to this
talented company.
