ruins and tits said that about ten more
employees are missing.
The tanks were of the style attach

In rapid succession and were followed
at short intervals by the other tanks.
The fire spread among property of the
Peoples Gas Light and Coke company
and threatened to reach the large stor-
age tanks Of that company. Police
men were sent about for radius Of a
mile warning persons to move from
their homes. @

opened. The pipes run outside Of the
plant and In a short time the big

TO PRESERVE TARA's HILL.
The viceroy of ireland Starts Sub
scriptions for its Purchase.

Lord Dudley, the viceroy of Ireland,
is still further increasing his popular
ity in the Emerald Isle by starting Il
subscription for the purchase of the
historic Hill of Tara. county Meath.
Some 239 acres thereof were sold the
other day ut public auction for 1000,
and it is hoped that by purchasing the
entire hill it may be spared from the
dissertation of being built over, and
that if any excavations are made they
may be for the purpose of reverent ex-
plora ton rather than for the construc-
ton of foundations of cheap villas.
Leaving aside the popular legend ac-
cording to which the ark of the COW
emnt was concealed in the Hill of
Tara by st. Patrick. it is Il fact that
this hill was the ancient crowniny
place of the kings of Ireland. 1t was
likewise the site of their palaces and
tombs, dating rs such from five cen
turtles before the birth of Christ. The

Columns could be written about
Tara and its legends. But it is doubt
full if there is another spot in the En-

A Miraculous Cure.

the !0-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
A. Murphy, of 232 Hull street, Brook
lyn, has in day cast away crutches
and iron braces, stands erect and
romps and plays like other children.
The cure is credited to a miracle per-
formed Il week ago at the church OF
Our Lady of Lourdes, Aberdeen street,
near Broadway, Brooklyn. The ami
versary of Our Lady Of Lourdes was
celebrated last Thursday, says the
Catholic Advance.

Willie would ever be WE'LL" said Mrs.
Murphy. "but had faith in the Lord
and continued to pray day and night
that my boy might have the use of his
leg restored
son Lourdes day l took Willie to
the church, where he bathed in tile
water from Lourdes in the grotto in
the rear. Mamma, l believe that 1
am going to be healed, the boy said
to me. He was so impatient to get to
the church. This gave me renewed
hope and faith, and prayed the harder
as Willie bathed.
'"There were many other little Grip
pied children there, and felt so sorry
for them. All took little bottle of
| water home with them. When Willie
and myself got home 1 rubbed his leg
with some of the water and we kneeled
down and prayed together. That was
on Thursday night.
ION Friday morning 1 called Willie
to me, took off his raised shoe and iron
brace, and rubbed some of the Lourdes
water over his leg. why, mamma,
how good my leg feels!' Willie said to
me. L believe 1 can stand on it,
'Then, wonder of wonders, Willie
threw down his cane, stood erect and
walked across the floor. For mo.
ment l could not believe my own eyes,
Then 1 realized that a miracle had
been performed. 1 ran through the
house shouting: 'Willie's cured! Will
lies cured! Thank God, my boy is nc
longer a CRIPPLE"
Mrs. Murphy was so overjoyed that
she sent the good news to her husband

Will Abolish Mixed Choirs.

The Catholic churches Of the Cleve-

choirs as fast as possible, and adopt,
ms in former times, the custom of hav-
ing boy choirs in the church. This
has been decided on in order to COM
ply with the mandate Of our holy
rather, Plus X, who requires that
female singers be replaced with boys.
The Rev. Chancellor Houck says: "It
is impossible to state the length of
time which will be required to make
the change, but the task will be con-
tinued with as much dispatch as pos
sible, until every church has installed

if the younger ages are unhealthy,
where did the increased number who
