two or three hours were most happily
spent in hearing fine music by the best

it was all over very reluctantly left this

of the children came to me to teach them
their lessons for the next day.
When I did reach my bed I promise you
I needed no sleeping portion or bed of

Now this was a holiday.

Through the Little Sisters.

Recently, writes James r. Randall In
the Columbian, one of the most dis
tinguished Of ex-Confederate generals,
who also held one of the highest VOL
unteer commissions in the Spanish war,
voluntarily approached me and, in
pathetic seriousness, said: Il want to
be Catholic and receive instruction.
My mind and heart have been thus
directed by personal investigation of
the Catholic institutions at Washington,
D. c., notably the Little Sisters of the
Poor and kindred charities" This emf
nent man followed General Robert E.
Lee through ali of his campaigns, ex-
cept when suffering from the loss Of a
leg at the cavalry battle Of Brandy Sta
ton. He comes from the most histori-
cally famous families of the North and
South. On. the wall of the National
Capitol is great picture Of his grand
father, whose exploits in the Revolu-
tionary war and in Japan are imper-
ishable. He has been senator of the
United States and is lawyer and
planter. His northern kinsmen are
among the leading financial magnates.
Through the Little Sisters grace en-
tered his soul, and nothing of late has
more surprised me than his manifest
determination, perhaps against his
worldly interests, to- enter the true fold.
Many others have been similarly
touched by Catholic charity and self
sacrifice, but never go beyond the senti-
mental incident.

pie Of the country. Anything that we
can do in the way of educating the
people without furnishing them with
the means Of higher education will be
very imperfectly done.
Scotland has four universities, and
these are thrown open to the son Of
every man, rich and poor, in the whole
country. In England they are EXTEND
ing their university education very
rapidly. In short time in England
the son Of the poorest man as we'll
as the son of the richest, If he has
ability and if it is useful for him, will
have the opportunity of getting full
university education, and here in Ire
land, except we are to go under the
yoke, and submit to deny our prin-
ciples, and go against our consciences,
and become students of Trinity Col
lege, or one of the Queens colleges,
we Catholics have no opportunity of
this higher education. The very fact
of all your instructors up to the pres
ent being selected outside your own
country is the strongest evidence you
could have of the need of this uni
versity education, even for technical
and agricultural purposes.
Higher education of the people Of
Ireland-the Catholic people of Ire

should strive for most energetically
and come 1t must If we all agree to
keep it to the forefront, If our mem
bers of Parliament are In earnest in
pushing on the question, and If the
in sustaining the members of Parlia-
ment, the time will not be long when
we will have this Irish grievance put
aside, and it is no mere sentimental
grievance; it is a grievance that goes
to the very foundation of the highest
interests of the country. We should
stand upon the same footing as sub
jects of England. Hence we claim
these things, not as matter Of char
ity, but as a matter Of right. They
are our rights and we should stand
up for our rights, make our voices
heard, and say that if we suffer in
justice we will give a good deal Of
trouble to those who inflict that in
justice upon us. cloud applause)

Congress at Strasburg.

The Strasburg Cathedral, which l.
one of the most famous in the world
has been the scene Of many notabl
gatherings, and is visited yearly b.
thousands of strangers anxious to in
spect its treasures, not the least
which is the celebrated clock, wher
the time of day is announced by tn,
twelve Apostles.
Two recent notable gatherings, the
religious services connected with
which were conducted in the Stras-
burg Cathedral, were the. Gregorian
Congress and the annual meeting OF
the German Catholics, held immedi-
ately after.
At the time of the K1lturkampf
these reunions were full. Of great re-
suits, when the Catholic body, under
men like Windthorst, Ketteler and
Others prepared themselves Like

fonists the many victories they won

Tour Of the Irish Ladies' Choir.

The Irish Ladies' Choir and Solo
lists of Dublin; the leading musical
organization of the United Kingdom,
which will make a tour of the United
States and; Canada. arrived in New
York on Wednesday,, the 25th of Octo-
Der, on the steamship Astoria" Sew
eral hundred. people were assembled
on the pier to greet the ladies upon
their arrival, Including many promi-
nent and influential citizens, repre-
sentatives of Irish and Catholic Or
CARNATIONS, and leaders in the world
of music. On Friday evening, Oct
9th, the choir held a reception at the
Hotel Astor, Forty-fourth street and
Broadway, which was largely attend
ed by people representative Of the best
in the great metropolis. A number
of the elite were present, ladies who
figure prominently among the ultra
fashionable, gentlemen who are recog-
nized leaders, socially, politically and
in the arts and sciences, directors Of
educational institutions and others.
Several solos and choral numbers
were given for the pleasure of the
guests, who applauded 10 the echo.
The choir instantly established itself
as a premier organization. and with
the reception at the Hotel Astor was
launched upon the sea of success. Able
musical critics, who were in attend
ance, predicted unqualified success for
the choir on Its. American tour, and
prophesied q great revival in Irish,
music as q result Of the visit Of the
artists to this country. Irish music,
as rendered by the Ladies' Choir of
Dublin, was voted most charming
from any view point. while the selec-
lions offered displayed remarkable
taste. They ranged from the soothing
lullabys to the sentimental, the patri-
otto and classic. and bear that fasci-
nation and soulfulness and fire which
have given to Ireland the name Of "the
land Of mirth and melody. poetry and
song"
The Irish Ladies' Choir will play
an engagement here later In the sea-
son. Popular prices will prevail sc
that all may be given an opportunity
to assist In the promotion and encour-
Iagement Of Irish music.
