GENERAL BOOTH AND
THE UNEMPLOYED.

LONDON, December 23--Gen. Booth has
taken up the unemployed problem. In his
preface to Mrs. Annie 8. Swans new book
vigorously The fact that there is not suf-
ficient work for those who require 1t he
says is unassailable, but he considers that
the statements with regard to the unwill-
ingness of sne unemployed to work are a
perversion OF the facts. A system is needed,
says the general, that will encourage peo-
pie to work by providing them with labor
and also Deprive them of the means of
maintenance If they refuse to engage in it.
Those who dire able to do so must work, and
that at son:l form of remunerative labor.
Under such scheme Gen. Booth states
that S80,0O0ipf the ratepayers' money which
Is annually spent in maintaining people
without wosk would be expended in fur
nishing work for those who are able to
do 1t.
The $25,0cO given by the Duke of West
minister to che Church Army through the
queens fund, to be used In establishing the
Duke of Westminster" labor relief depots,
one at Poplar. to be worked In connection
with the existing Church Army Labor
Home at Bow and the other in the city of
Westminster.
In order to provide work for the unem-
ployed the mound in front of Buckingham
Palace. where the statue of Queen Victoria
Is to be erected, is now being removed to
make room for the foundations of the
structure.
Relief works for the unemployed are to be
started at Chatham, where geo men will be
employed in road widening.

THIS CITY SEPARATE
CATHOLIC DIOCESE.

An old rumor was revived during the past
week in Catholic Church circles that Pope
Plus x intended making a separate diocese
of the city of Washington the District of
Columbia, separating it from the suzerainty
OF the Baltimore diocese, presided over by
Cardinal Gibbons
This, according to distinguished prelates
and laymen of that faith. may be denied on
the most absolute authority. They say that
however much the pope and his advisers
may desire to honor the Catholics of Wash
ington and the country at large by institut-
ing bishopric In this city, his regard for
the cardinal would make such step out of
the question The cardinal is thought by
Catholics to be one of the most prominent
churchmen of his day. and even If enter
tanned in high quarters any move that
might be the means of dimmfng his luster
would, 1t is thought, be looked upon with
disfavor by the Catholics of this diocese
and the country at large.
Many members of the Catholic Church in
this country have long deplored the fact
that Washington lacks ecclesiastical titles
Excepting Mgr. Diomede Falconio, the pres
ent papal delegate to this country, and Mgr
O'Connell of the Catholic University, there
is not even one member of the monsignori
here. Some years ago 1t was suggested
that Pope Leo XIII appoint an assistant
bishop to the cardinal archbishop of the
Baltimore diocese. of which Washington is
part, TO De appointed ana stauoned at the
capital. 1t is said that Pope Leo at that
time expressed his reluctance to create any
office which might in any way dim the lus-
ter of Cardinal Gibbons title. Later there
was another effort to divide the archdiocese
of Baltimore and make Of the capital sep
arate see. as is the case with every other
capital where. the capital is represented
Pope Leo is stated to have then declared
that during the life of Cardinal Gibbons no
interference with his administration would
be made, nor would America get another
representative in the college Of cardinals
That the cardinal be not disturbed is the
ardent wish of a great majority of the
Catholics In Washington and Baltimore
but Catholics have ever been anxious that
America be given larger representation
In the college of cardinals.

Mlonigbt Services.
These and Other Impressive Exercises Peculiar to
Chrishnastide
Christfl1astide.

Midnight services in many of the Roman
Catholic churches tonight will be parncu-
larly interesting and impressive feature of
the celebration Of the feast of Christmas.
Whenever these are held the music Is of the
finest and the ceremonies most solemn.
Elaborate decorations are provided for the
affairs, and as the priests move slowly TO
and fro before the Pickering candles chant
Ing and the choir responds in sweet tones
an effect is gained which Is peculiar to these
occasions. In many churches a Christmas
sermon Is preached by the pastor as
sistant pastor upon Christmas subject.
On account of the impressiveness of the
midnight services they are nearly always
where the music is best.
The midnight solemn high mass at Christ
mastide Is an Italian custom. In some of
the Catholic churches of this city it Is fol-
lowed regularly each year. Rev. Joseph F.
MCGEE. pastor of the Shrine of the Sacred
Heart, 18th and Whitney avenue northwest,
has made complete arrangements for this
mass tonight, according to a custom which
has held ever since the organization of the
congregation. Especially elaborate prepa-
rations have been made for the decoration
of the church and altar and for the music
of the mass.
Another midnight service will be that at
st. Martins Church, North Capitol and I
streets, which will be attended by the stu
Catholic University in a body. The stu
dents will sing the music of the mass
Besides the midnight services. other
Roman Catholic churches will hold early
morning services tomorrow-at o'clock in
the -morning-when there will be a mass.

YOUTHFUL PAGAN1sM.
Exhibited in Animal Spirits of Young
Men.

MSn.
Ernest Hamlin Abbott In Outlook
The ordinary youth exhibits his paganisn
most obviously by his animal spirits. The
association, instead Of bidding him sup
press his paganisnl, after the tradition of
the church has accepted his paganism as
healthy thing and set to work to direct
it. The means it has found in the gymna-
SUM Here it writes in wood and stone,
In brick and steel. an article of its dis
tinctive creed, 1--WE believe in the body." In
the first place, you do not have to 60 to
its so-called department of religious work
in order to find its religion. 1t is true. there
you will find it conducting Bible classes,
holding Sunday afternoons meetings for
men, leading religious meetings for men in
the shops, maintaining big religious gath
erings in theaters. But its religion, IL 1t
is anywhere, Is also in its billiard room, In
its classes for mechanical drawing and in
its summer camps.
That religion. like every true religion, is
q motive. 1t is not a trap for which the
billiards, the drawing. the camp, is the
bait. The association which uses means
like these to entice young men into some
kind of religious performance Is not true
to its own principle. The kind of service
which 1t renders in these ways it values
for the sake of the service itself, and 1t
regards that service as a worthy end But.
the principles of the association would be
strangely fruitless If they did not cause
many man to change his attitude toward
Christianity Itself. That Is just what these
principles as practiced by the association
have done. The association has made con-
verts, many converts. no doubt at its
meetings. 1t has brought men into the
church. 1t has kindled new enthusiasms
and rekindled old ones. But in this it has
only done what other agencies have done.
Its distinctive service has been this: that
1t has presented to the men of today a
new Interpretation of Christianity By
works as well as words it has maintained
and proved that Chris tianity is not merely
-or even chiefiy-an expectation concerning
the world TO come; but that Christianity is

ton wholesomer. commerce honestels; which

Deed That Won for Him Friendship
Of Secretary Taft.
Secretary Taft has always been an
enthusiastic admirer of the late JUS
tice Lamar Of Mississippi. Mr.. Taft
was assistant attorney general when
Justice Lamar was on the United
States supreme bench. The first time
the big Ohio man appeared before that
August tribunal he stumbled through
a small duty just as the judges were
about to retire. He was much embar-
rassed and felt that he had not ap-
peared at all to advantage. AS he was
about to hurry away Justice Lamar
cans over, threw an arm over his
shoulder and said in kindly tones:
It's all right, my boy Don't you be
afraid Of those fellows on the bench.
They won't bite you. Even If they
wanted to their teeth are too old and
worn to do much damage. II you but
knew it, yours are twice as sharp.
The secretary in telling of this incl
dent says: From that day to this |
have never ceased to thank the low
able Mississippian for making me have
faith in myself"
