Bishop McFaul's Pastoral.

Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, has is.
sued to the clergy and faithful of the
diocese a pastoral letter upon "The
Christian Home" which, under his in.
structions, was read at all the Masses
In churches of the diocese on a recent
Sunday.
In his letter Bishop McFaul points
out the necessity of making home "the
sweetest spot on earth," refers to the
duties of father, mother, husband.
wife and children, and calls upon par-
ents to make every sacrifice to keep
their children in school rather than
subject them to the evil influences IF
the workshop.
The tenement house, the bishon
says, with its swarms of inmates and
its indictments to and occasions for
sin, is formidable enemy of the
home, and he urges upon municipal all
thorities their duty to remedy this
evil. Carefully selected reading and
the barring of yellow journalism,
from the home are also urged by the
bishop, and he urges parents to keen
their children off the streets at un-
seemly hours.
Some idea of the close attention
Bishop McFaul has given the subject
may be had from the fact that he has
even touched upon the servant prob.
lem and advises that servants be
trained for their positions. In conclu-
sion, the need of religious instruction
in the home is pointed out as a rem
edy against impure living.

After Whisky Quacks,


The postofice department at Wash
ington has inaugurated a crusade
against fraudulent whisky concerns do
ing mail order business. Many of
these are believed to grossly misrepre.
sent their wares in advertisements
and having checked turf exchange
schemes and quack doctors operations,
the department has begun to clean out
the crooked liquor men. A fraud order
has been issued against the Old Ken
lucky company of Covington, KY,
which advertised to distill and sell
twenty-year-old whisky at 1925 per
gallon. The concern made shipments
of it's stuff conditional upon the dis
posal by the receiver of four certifi-
Gates at so cents each, which were to
be used by other customers as part
payment for the company's alleged
product. The department held that
the scheme was lottery and fraudu-
lent, inasmuch as its continuance was
dependent upon constant increase of
new business, and the goods sold were
not as advertised.

here indicated, we will not only reach
the two hundred thousand mark, for
the accomplishment of which our able
and poular national president and sec.
retary are so earnestly striving, but
we will build up spirit that will per-
petuate the principles of the order for
ages to come; and that will add
strength and vigor to the proverbial
devotion of our race to Faith and
Motherland.
In closing merely wish to say that
We should never cease to impress upon
our young men and women the many
reasons they have to feel proud of
their ancestral land-"A land that has
no vulgar history to read, people
that can trace from field to field the
evidences Of civilization older than
the conquest, and the relics of a re-

Princess Patsy.

On Tuesday, April 10, Pope Plus x
received in private audience the Duke
and Dutchess of Connaught and their
two daughters, Princess Margaret and
Princess Patricia. The latter is the
young girl who has been mentioned
as a possible bride for King Alfonso
of Spain, though the report has been
denied. The Princess is not Catho-
lie, and of course the Catholic king
of Spain will choose Catholic wife.
King Alfonso and the Princess are
about the same age. The king will
be nineteen in May and Princess Pa.
tricia was nineteen on March II.
She was born March II, 1856. and st.
Patrick's day was most appropriate
time for her birth in view of her
fathers Irish title and the fondness
for Ireland which she has shown dur
ing her girlhood. Tall, handsome and
full of merriment. devoted to golf and
hockey and other open-air sports.
Patsy, as the princess is called by
her family. is general favorite.
In case the Princess should become
Catholic it would be a suitable
match, as she is a niece of King Ed.
ward of England, and the alliance
would form bond between the
royal houses of Spain and Great
Britain

Was jeff Davis an Irishman?

Just now, while discussion is rife
as to whether or not Lincoln was ever
Catholic, the fact seems entirely
unknown or overlooked that Jefferson
Davis, once President of the Southern
Confederacy, was of Irish descent,
says the New World. Proof of this
is absolutely conclusive. Davis so ad-
mits in his memoirs, and in the Life
of Davis, published in 1868, while
the famous Southerner yet lived, the
fact is chronicled dispassionately, and
was never denied.
There is other proof, moreover.
Davis was a brilliant commander in
the war with Mexico. His dash and
military genius saved the day at
Buena Vista, and in lecture entitled
"Thc Expatriated Irish In America"
delivered in Boston, February II,
1858, Hon. Caleb Cushing declared
that in that battle "a man of Celtic
race Jefferson Davis) at the head
of the Mississippi Rifles, performed
a deed of which there is but one other
example in the military history of
modern times"-and Davis exploit
antedated the other.
The fact that both Davis and his
Vice-President Alexander H. Stevens,
both distrusted and condemned the
Know-Nothing party of the old days is
made amply clear by capable South
ern historians. Stephens especially
arranged the movement in two
speeches of unparalleled logic and
eloquence.

desolate rufaans"-the name by which
they dignifled the old idea comes to
the front again time-only added to
the list of their failures and made
themselves ridiculous. A new genera
tion has now arisen. and the old idea
comes to the front again more promi-
nently than ever. with young and
stalwart ally by her side. Nor will the
Gaelic League fail in its duty, nor. as
our theological friends In Exeter Hall
used to say, ''falter in It's mission"
Everywhere one may observe the
symptoms Of great literary and pa
triotic revival. You see it in the
signboards of business houses; in the
newspapers. now generally distin-
guished by Gaelic column; in the
addresses even of candidates for pub
lie honors; dress of the people-you
feel it in the air-"a soul has come
into Ireland; and the old land is as.
serting her invincible individuality
once more. while her enemies look on,
some in disgust, some in apprehen.
sion, and all in amazement.
In one notable respect the recent
demonstration differed from nearly all
those that preceded it. 1t was not
only a demonstration Of youth, but
of hope. My memory goes back a
good many years; have seen many
public demonstrations, but with few
exceptions they were all suggestive
of defeated or half-despairing cause,
and we engaged in them as though
we were paying the last rites to
departed friend, with a sorrow in
which hope was for the moment al
most extinguished. The first of them
was that organized in Cork on the
arrival from the United States of the
remains of Terrence Bellew McManus.

lists moving solemnly along with
bowed heads to the tune of the Dead
March in Saul-strong, sturdy and
fearless to look at, but with hardly
a sign of hope in their eyes, wept
at the sight, hardly knew why:
knew nothing of Ireland or Irish
history-my judicious guardians had
taken good care of that-yet my
sympathies were mysteriously aroused
and l wept as if had personally
known the dead patriot and been a
worker in the cause for which he died.
Then l saw the great Dublin demon
stration in honor of the three martyrs,
only a short time before judicially
murdered in Manchester-a wonder
full, almost an awe-inspiring impress
sion of popular feeling; but though
sorrow and indignation and the wild
longing for revenge might have been
read in many face, was not there.
The reverse was the case in the pro-
cession of Sunday last, and am
bound to say that it is almost the
only demonstration of the kind l have
ever witnessed from which l did not
return with heart more or less sad
dened.

The National Anthem.

Albany, N. Y, April 11.-Assembly-
man Tompkins' bill to prevent the
emasculation of the national anthem
was passed by the Assembly today,
and If it receives the approval of the
Senate and Governor public school
books must contain "The Star Span
gled Banner" according to Francis
Scott Key, and not according to Super
intendent Maxwell. The bill is direct
ed against the curriculum of New
York City's schools, which used a
version in which interpolated lines
are substituted for the original verses.
In the text book this stanza of the
original song is left out:
And where is that band who so
vauntingly swore,
Mid the havoc of war and the
battles confusion.
A home and a country they'd leave
us no more?
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution;
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of fight or the gloom
of the grave"
''This stanza," Professor Tompkins
said, "was cut out by Superintendent
Maxwell, who is an Englishman. The
lines omitted where offensive to the
English, and many patriotic citizens
throughout the state demand that the
anthem shall not be mutilated."
The following verse, added by
Oliver Wendell Holmes during the
Civil War, and aimed at the Con-:
federates, was objected to by the Con-
federate Veterans, but Maxwell ap.
proved it:
when our land is illumined by Lib.
erty's smile,
If foe from within strikes blow
dL her glory,
Down, down with the foe who dares
to defile
The stars of her flag and the page
of her story;
BY the millions unclaimed who our
birthright have gained
We will keep her bright blazon for
ever unstained."
This and all other interpretations
will be also stricken out and the ma
tional anthem as written originally
by Key will be printed in the school
books. Mr.. Tompkins is mistaken in
calling Maxwell an Englishman. He
is an Irish Tory.
