What is this we hear? The daughter
of the Duke of Connaught to become a
Catholic and to be married to the king
of Spain! Verify, it would seem as If
Rome were getting near to the English
throne again. What does the royal
uncle of the bride-to- be-who is head
of the Anglican church, by law estab-
of it all? 1t is enough

in her tomb her fiercest oaths.
Bishop Hoban of Scranton, in SER
mon last Sunday, strongly advocated
baseball as Sunday amusement for
boys. After picturing the hardships
many of the boys of his community are
put to in the mines and mills, days and
night, six days a week, he criticised
those who protest against their enjoy
ing Sunday in harmless recreations,
and added: II say, let them play base
ball or football, or any other kind of
ball to their hearts content. The good
Lord will be pleased to see them do it,
l aver, providing they are good boys.
