A Sensation Spoiled.

Some time ago the secular press
widely circulated a dispatch from Bal
timore to the fact that the pastor of
Immaculate Conception church in that
city had ordered two negro women
out of that church because Of their
color.
Now comes the explanation of the
pastor which takes all the wind out
of the sensation. 1t is made in re-
Spouse to an inquiry:
Dear Sir-In answer to your favor
of the 18th inst, beg to say business
called me from home until late Sat
urday night, and hence this delayed
reply. The printed report is false and
misleading besides, for colored Cath
olics have a parish and church of
their own on either side of us. Some
of them, without any opposition, have
attended mass in this church. On Pas
sion Sunday, March 20, the situation
forced us to announce that our 8
O'Clock mass for pew holders and the
9:15 mass for children should be ex-
clusively for them, but that the COL
ored contingent could continue to at
tend the 6 O'clock mass and the high
mass at 1870. 1t was necessity, ex.
planning and justifying itself. Some
few colored persons persisted in COM
ing to the and 9:15 masses; when
requested not to do so, showed the
spite and falsehood displayed in this
report. Had felt the least animus
toward our colored Catholics, would
have excluded them from the high
mass. But, on the contrary, there be-
ing room at that, as well as at the 6
O'Clock mass, 1 assured them they
were welcome to attend these two
masses as in the past.
am sincerely yours,
THOMAS M. O'DONOGHUE, c. NJ.
Pastor.

The omission of the toast 1.-THE
King" at the banquet in Armagh, Ire
land, following the conservation of the
cathedral, is regarded everywhere as a
defeat for the government, says the
Catholic Citizen. AS originally ar
ranged, the toast to be proposed was
1.-THE Pope and the King" but the
exposure Of the fact in Dublin jour-
nal led to the omission of 'the king"
from the private toast list.
On the arrival of the Duke of Nor
folk in the country, however, he used
every effort to induce Cardinal Logue
to restore the omitted words, and it
was stated in Armagh that the cardi-
nal had yielded and the toast would
be proposed.
A strong protest from many of the
lay Catholics present led to its being
abandoned, much to the chagrin of the
Duke of Norfolk, who, when he rose to
speak afterward, was received with
one solitary cry Of Long live the
Duke of Norfolk This was followed
by distinct hiss from considerable
section of those present.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.

On the subject of a proper educa.
ton, the Catholic Mirror gives the fol.
lowing good advice to parents regard
ing the moral and intellectual train.
ing of their children:
THE time for the reopening of the
schools and colleges is rapidly ap-
proaching, and to those parents who
have not yet decided upon school
for their son or daughter, little time
is left for discussion. To Catholic
parents there should be no question
of what school, but rather, what Cath
Ole school. 1t is hard to understand
how, in these days, Catholic parents
can be Indifferent to the training of
their offspring, when they see all
around them the baneful influence of
Il Goddess education.
1T is very little wonder that Prot
estants do not attend their churches.
Gas children they We're not taught
to regard attendance ut church serv-
ices as obligatory. Free thought
and free action is their hobby, and
in their enjoyment Of it. they are
often found close to the feathers,
while their Catholic neighbor is
tramping to mass.
"Not only does this secular educa-
ton tend to destroy religion, but
moreover, it nurtures a disregard for
respective rights of men,
1T is most apparent in France and
in Gemrany. In both countries the
social party has grown to dangerous
proportions. In America it's influence
is felt and the zone of it's operations
is ever widening. The Catholic
church and her institutions for the
fostering of truth are the only hope
of mankind. Without these benefi-
cent influences society would founder,
and mankind revert to the state of
standardization from which Christian
ity rescued him.
'"The civil laws are founded on the
natural laws and the authenticity of
the commandments Of God. To deny
God is to adduce n reason why neith-
er natural or revealed truths should
he regarded.
Catholic institutions wherein God
is admitted and religion constitutes
part of the curriculum are numerous.
There may he some instances in the
country where parents cannot arrange
to send their children to Catholic
schools, but in city life the cases are
very rare.
''Those who would have their Off
spring grow up Christian men and
women and God-fearing citizens of
our great country, would do well to
hesitate before placing their young
impressionable minds under the influ-
ence of agnOStic Instructors

General Keller Is irish.

Lieut.. Gen. Count Keller, of the
Russian army, was killed July 90,
while repelling the preliminary attack
of Gen. Kuroki's army on the Yanze
pass thirty miles east of Liam Yang.
He was standing near battery which
was subjected to a terrific fire when
a shell burst close to him and he fell
mortally wounded, dying twenty min
utes later. Before he expired Gen.
Keller had the satisfaction of know
ing that the Japanese attack had been
repealed.
Gen. Keller was the first high Rus
sian commander to lose his life in this
way. He was personal favorte of
the car. His sister, Countess KLEIN
michel, is one of the leaders of St.
Petersburg society.
Lieut.. Gov. Count Keller was in
command Of the Second Siberian
Army division. He was fifty-four
years old.
Gen. Keller took part in the three
campaigns of the Russo-Turkish war,
and was considered to be the possessor
of cool Judgment and to be a fine
strategist.
Though strict disciplinarian, Kel-
Ter was kind and careful officer, and
popular with his men. He Wore a
short gray beard, had keen eyes, and
dressed in khaki.
Lieut.-Gov. Count Keller was of
Irish descent, coming from one of the
"Wild Geese" who marched out with
all the honors of war from Limerick
and sailed away to France when the
cowardly King James II had irretriev.
ably lost his throne. The eXiled Irish
men entered the service of France
Austria, Germany and Russia, and
won renown on the battlefields OF
Europe. In France, to which a ma
jority went, they formed the famous
Irish brigades. Count Keller was only
one of many Of the descendants of the
exiles holding high Office now close tt
| the car.
