of the expectation of the commissions
1t is well To remember, however. that
which has not come fully up to our
expectations while ignoring the fact
that this man probably succeeded in
more important matters where another
would have been subjected to just
criticism.
We have ScrupulouSly avoided. either
III THIS communication or in any OF the
steps leading up to the opportunity
which has been accorded us by your
honorable body to set ourselves right
IN making our cause common with that
oi either the architect or contractor
and have endeavorcd to divorce our
selves insofar as possible from them.
First of all, though out OF office we
are in measure servants of the people
ana OF the general assembly, and II
that tribunal deems the State To have
suffered injury from either, our first
duty is to the State.
However, II is but Justice to say that
we have found the contractors in All
their dealings with us honorable bust
ness men. whom we believe to he above
suspicion OF wrong doing. and who
sought to live up to the true intent and
meaning OF their contract with the
State.
We desire it understood that we do
not claim that it is Impossible that i'm
positions have been practiced upon
this commission by the architect or
contractor, for If any vital defects ex-
lSt III the building or serious mistakes
can be shown TO have been made. these
must have been the outcome of the

that the findings and the conclusions

The Way It Affected Him.

The late Father McGolricl, Of Dor
chester, Mass, was one of the greatest
pulpit orators in the archdiocese and
always took delight in seeing what eff
feet his sermons had upon the lowly
members of the congregation. One
Sunday, while leaving st. Peters
church, where he had been stationed
many years, he met parishioner
gentleman, said:
''That was beautiful sermon you
preached to-day, father. 1t did me a
power of good"
"I'm glad of that" responded the
clergyman. "Can you tell me what
particularly struck you? What was
the main point?"
"Well-er- don't rightly remem-
ber-1 don't just exactly know. I ah
-ah-whats the use?-sure. don't
remember an individual word of it..
Sorra bit Of me knows what it was
at all. at ALL"
"And yet" said Father McGolrick,
| with smile, "you say it did you a
power of good"
$50 it did, father; I'll stick to that"
"Now, tell me how
"Well, father, now look here. There's
my Sunday shirt that my wife is after
washing, and clean and white it is by
reason of all the water and soap that
gone through it. But not drop of
water or soap or blue has stayed in it,
dye see? And it's the same way with
me an the sermon. It's all run
through me and dried out, but all the
same, like my Sunday shirt, I'm better
and cleaner for it,

where is the Irish-American who con-
tributed his mite to bring about these
achievements who will not today be
satisfied that his money has been we'll
spent and that he has been afforded
an opportunity of which he should be
proud. of having had Il hand in the
emancipation of his fellowcountry
men?
"Where do we stand today: For
what am l asking you for assistance
tonight: l will tell you. The local
government act of which l have Spoll,
en- has removed the argument that the
Irish people are untitled for self-gov
eminent. The land act has removed the
great argument against home rule in
the minds of Englishmen that they
could not desert and abandon the Eng
lish @arrisons in our country.
The objections to home rule are
rapidly disappearing. The other day,
since | came TO America, l read Il
cablegram giving an account of Il meet
ing With landlords, held in the city of
Dublin, to form what they called an
Irish Reform Association, and the first
plank they put i'll their platform Was
Il large extension of government
to Ireland. That is not perhaps exact
ly the way l should describe what we
want, but l use it today us Il clear i'll
dicution Of the tendency of public opin-
ion in England and in Ireland among
our opponents.
I'VE are on the eve of Il general
election. Any day it may come. Mi.
Chamberlain QliSses), who did a bad
service to Ireland in breaking up the
Liberal party, is now doing his very
best to make atonement to Ireland by
breaking up the Unionist party, and it
is morally certain that the next clec
ton will result in the two English
parties being fairly evenly divided.
do you see how we shall stand:
We are looking to having them come
back in that way. Who will be the
urbiters of the situation? That is the
opportunity before lis. 1t is to enable
us to seize that opportunity and to use
it for what it is worth that have
come today to America to ask you to
will enable us. when the elections
come, to meet our opponents on some
thing like equal terms"

.Hme choir-singing and dancing and
next day we listened to orators and
reciters who had all the best tradi-
ions of the fatal gift which has too
oftcn been the only fame of Ireland
So on throughout the week, every con-
test bringing it's group of earnest
judges and crowds of eager witnesses
The great night, however, was on
Tuesday. when DR.. Douglas Hyde de-
livered his presidential address, and
congratulated the Enylish-speaking
members of the league on their being
Il diminishing quantity There We're
delegates from Scotland and South
America who spoke, and songs were
sung in Scotch, Welsh, and Irish
Gaelic, which proved that we were
as the president said, mot cousins, but
brothers."
y dramatic incident occurred just
us Mr.. Roderick Macleod was about
to respond to a vehement "crish" In
tho hush of the prelude Il door was
flung open, and, preceded by bowling
chamherains, Cardinal Nannutelli en-
tered in his scarlet robes. The COM
piincnt he paid the league by attend
ing unlimited the chief gathering of
the week was acknowledged by ire
mendous burst of cheering when the
audience had sufficiently recovered
from their astonishment.
Next to the presidential address the
delivery of the Oireachtas Ode was
the most important item. This year it
was written, not by DR.. Hyde, but by
Tadhg O'Donohue, whose sister recit-
ell it with considerable fire and vigor.
Its purport was frankly didactic, as
was indeed the purpose of the Oireacll-
tas. but the poetic element was there
too, and for those who could follow
the language it conveyed Il message
Ireland is not likely to ignore In the
style of the old poets, the writer told
how. wandering in meditation one
morning, lie net tlle muse OF heroic
times, who speaks to him of the dark
past and of the dawn of bright flu
ture, which holds in it unity and q
greater love between man and man.
She concluded with an adjuration to
teach the children Irish in all the
schools, to till the soil, to set the rusty
mill-wheels going, to know our history
and to revive and love our old GUS
toms, and to keep our sons and daugh-
tiers in Ireland. With her present re-
vival of intellectual life and the sim
pie industries of everyday necessities,
Ireland can surely promise that all
this shall be done.

Physical Culture and Mothers.

My neighbor in the hotel is pretty
mother with three pretty children,
says the Catholic Union and Times
Her eldest is just 4 years old, then
comes 3-year-old, then baby, who is
sixteen months old, Mary, Catharine
and Joseph. The mother has not lost
her figure, Notwithstanding the quick
work and the nursing baby. She told
me that she had good instruction in
physical culture and that in the
months preceding the birth of her
children she never forgot to hold her.
self in the upright position. She did
not yield to laziness or fatigue and
drop from it for one minute. When
she could not stand upright or sit as
she should, she decided that she was
sick and went to bed. She has fiat
back, the stylish long waist ~ not a
drawn down waist that is passe- the
indescribable tall look that the right
poise gives. I commend this to eX,
pectant mothers.
How is this attained? Not by ten
sion. Every muscle must be relaxed,
the weight must be taken from the
heels and put upon the balls of the
feet the body must bend slightly for
ward from the hips, the chest must
go forward, the chin must be held up.
Cultivate Il naughty poise, that is,
think of it for awhile, then all the
eXaggcration of elf-consciousncss will
disappear and you will have attained.
Some women find that the change of
poise gives slight pain. That will
pass. 1t is because the internal Or
CANS have been displaced by the years
of wrong standing and walking, and
are now getting to proper position. II
broadenS the chest, gives room to the
lungs, relieves the heart from undue
pressure, and helps and finally cures
dyspepsia.
Walking backwards helps in attain
ing this desired end. 1t will, too, if
persistently practiced, cure the grip
headache, which drugs never touch.

CARS FASTER IN, THE, WEST
Men Take More Time and Creator
Risks Than in the East, Says
Railway Man.

Il was called upon lately to straighten
up the affairs of street railway in a.
western town. said street railway
man OF New York, according to the Sun,
"and l made the discovery that cars
OF equal speed, carrying the same num-
Der of passengers, run on much faster
schedule in that city than in the east,
l looked into the matter, and found that
it is because western men get on and of
cars on the fly. A young and vigorous
man in the west never thinks of waiting
for car to stop at his corner. He Jumps
on on the move. Motormen and gripmen
when they see young man waiting on
the corner, never stop. They Just slow
up little and wait for the conductors
to bells to show that the passenger has
mounted on the fly. Isuppose that west
ern people are more used to doing rough
and athletic stunts. Then, too, the heavy
traffic in New York makes it dangerous
to lump from . mo eASe car.
