Billy Muldoos.. the famous wrestler,

beautiful estate. konwn as the ~Mul-

ing school Of his art, Of ST. Patrick 5 Ro-
man Catholic church Of Belfast, N. ", to
be converted into convent. The entire
property has been given to Bishop Coll

Of St. Stephens Roman Catholic church,
In Twenty-eighth street. New York.
The 'Muldoon farm is well known
throughout the United States as the
place where many famous athletes have
been trained into condition for cham
pionship contests, and where, also, many
business and professional men have
studied physical culture. The only con-

clear that great injustice has been done
TO her and to her memory. There never
was a more devoted adherent of the
church. perhaps never more deeply re-
ligious visionary than Joan of Are. No
one can doubt she believed she saw the
figures of her two favoiite saints in the
clouds, heard their voices and their an
swers to her when she spoke 10 them.
There was no point in her career when
she did not seek spiritual guidance or
believe she was under the protection Of
the saints, until after securing the cor
onation OF the danphin, which ended her
mission, she remained in the field at his
order and herself acknowledged that her
saints had forsaken her. She was sold
for gold by a greedy duke, one of her
own countrymen, in alliance with the
English She was delivered by her pur-
chasers to malicious bishop, one of her
own countrymen. who, when he failed
to convict her of heresy. condemned her
upon charges of intercourse with evil
spirits. and delivered her TO the civil au-
thorities of Rouen, who soon regretted
their action and eventually erected mon
uments TO her memory.
Joan of Arc was burned at the stake at
Rouen May 30. 1881 She was but 10
when France was overrun with Anglo
Picard and Burgundian troops. and in
alleged visions she declared she had
been called upon to deliver her country
The dauphin was induced to give her
military command. and Ia several en-
gagements she defeated the English: but
in 1430 she was captured by the Bur-
gundians at Compiegne and sold to the
English for 10000 francs. She was tried
for sorcery and heresy. and the Uni
versity of Paris finally pronounced
against her, and though she consented
to formal abjuration OF heresy, she
was executed.

The Army and Navy Register calls
attention to the Fact that since 1901
more than 700 saloons have been es-
tabllshed in the vicinity Of military
posts. Many Of those places are Of
the most vicious sort, for the govern
ment can exercise no supervision
over them. They have sprung up to
take place Of the post canteen, which
was abolished three years ago.
Doubtless the persons who secured
the suppression Of the we'll regulated
and orderly bars on the post grounds
where soldiers could meet and drink
their beer are reiOIced over the re-
suits. Very likely they think It far
better that men should be demoraliz-
cd through the influence of these 700
disorderly places than that the gov
eminent should supervise the sale OF
liquor. The gain to most persons,
however, is not so obvious.
