The Animal He ResembIed.

John r. Davis, Jr tells good story
of Welshman and an Irishman who
had a fight, in which the ignorance OF
natural history played an important
part, says the Youngstown Telegram.
The Welshman had taken boxing les
sons until he thought he could lick
anything of his weight. He thereupon
challenged an Irishman to fight him to-
a finish and the challenge was prompt,
ly accepted. The Welshman selected
a fellow countryman named Davvy for
second. After the first round the
Welshman went to his corner and ask
ed Davvy how he looked.
Look like Non!" said Davvy.
In the second round the Welshman
had an eye closed, but Davvy still de-
clared his champion looked like lion
At the end of the third round the
Welshman was out. When he came to
he looked through his swollen eyes at
his second and said:
COW, do look now, Davvy?"
Like lion," said Davvy.
II don't feel like 'un. Did you never
|see lion?"
Eyes, hindeed. Bill Jones as 'un.~
"Hit hain't lion, man. Hits q
jackass!"
well, that's 'ow you look!"

Catholic Papers.

Commenting on some remarks made
by DR.. Medlycot, of South India, on the
Catholic press, the Manchester Guar
dian" says: 1.-THE work of the Catholic
journalist is submitted to the most crit
ical scrutiny, and the smallest lapse is
made the subject of ridicule or abuse.
1t is quite clear that nothing short
of an archangel would be fitted to con-
due. the Catholic newspaper, which
some people think should be produced
week by week for their benefit. Again,
Catholics do not buy Catholic news
papers as they ought to. Nor do they
advertise in them, as they ougai TO.
They think that Catholic newspaper
should be at their disposal, quite free
of cost, and that it's columns should
always be open to free advertisers nts
for all subjects in which Catholics are
interested, and after this they wonder
why the Catholic press is not strong
and vigorous and flourishing.

What Ruins Girls.

"Of all the ten or twelve thousand
unfortunate girls and wrecked women
arrested every year in Chicago" says
Mary K. Keegan, Chief Matron Of the
Chicago Police Department, among
those who tell their woes to me, nine
ty-nine out Of every hundred attribute
their downfall to the first glass of
wine or champagne taken generally
with male companion always for
good fellowship's sake. That first
glass is the beginning of the end, and
here you see what the end is. When
a woman once begins to drink, even
in a social way, her future is threat
ened with either moral wickedness or
utter ruin. So many women who
come here tell me that the first spark
ling glass of champagne was the be-
ginning of al! their misfortune"

The Rev. Doctor Huntingdon, of the

The Rev. Doctor Huntingdon, of the
new Protestant Episcopal Church
Cathedral in New York, has evidently
discovered by this time that there is
at least one other subject besides
mans uselessness at the age of forty,
which will stir up hornets nest,
says the Catholic Mirror.
When he made his initial objection
against the artists feminine concep-
ton of the angels of the Resurrection
and Annunciation he doubtless had lit
tie thought Of the extent of the con-
troversy he was about to start.
We are not at all prepared to dis
cuss this deep and intricate problem
from theological point of view. Re-
lying solely on our sentiments, which
are, after all, safe guides in many
cases, it seems a shame to rule GU!
the feminine in this summary fashion.
In mundane things, at least, which is
as far as our personal knowledge goes,
man can not lay much claims to quail
ties that are associated with wings
unless, indeed, you call him bird
and however fattering 1t would be to
our personal pride TO coincide with tn"
Rev. Or. Huntingdon in his views on
the sex of the angelic host, we haven't
the nerve in the face of some unpleas-
ant facts to enlist under his standard.
AS we remarked above, we don't pre-
tend for a moment to speak theologic-
ally, but for the life of us we cannot
see the objection to Il real, nice. refined
lady angel 1t seems SO much more
appropriate. Everyone admits that the
ladies are much nearer than the men
to that state, here below, and why is it
necessary to conclude that Heaven Is
just the opposite. OF course it may
be just as Dr. Huntingdon says, but
one is prone to judge by present con-
dtions, and whoever says that man
presents the truer type of the angelic
is either in need Of medical attention
or has reference to another class Of
spirits.

pie with defective sight or poor judg-
ment, and it is indeed asserted by those
who have carefully looked into the
| matter that not more than one person
out of every five running these ma
chimes is competent to do so with
safety to himself or others. This will
seem to show the inadequacy of all
measures which are merely regulatory.
If by regulating ordinances the in
fantile period of life could be vested
with the wisdom, knowledge and ex-
ment of dangerous engines on the pub
lie street; if nervous or hysterical
women could be rendered cool and
steady in the face of danger; if stupid
or wrong headed men could be clothed
with good judgment and if reckless
drunkenness and lack of conscience
could be cured in men under such ordi-
nances and laws, then there might be
hope that laws of regulating char

protection from the dangers which be-
set the citizen at every point from the
death dealing auto. That, however, is
expecting too much from the majesty
of the law. Indeed. even with the best
of citizens the consciousness of being
in possession and control of a machine
which is capable of the highest speed
of railroad flyer is too much of a
temptation not to try it's speed on
occasions when it is thought nobody
is looking, and that too with a full!
sense of the danger and criminality
of the act with reference to the safety
of fellow men.
How these dangers attending this
invasion by autos of the public streets
are to be met remains for the future
to develop. 1t will not be, however,
by the feeble enforcement of still
feebler ordinances; it will not be by
the infliction Of one dollar fines by
shallow pated justices; nor will it be
by the mild warnings to the offenders
by the over-awed policemen who, as a
rule, are laughed at by the we'll
dressed but lawless occupants of these
street locomotives"

THE CASE OF JEROME.

Neither the democratic nor republic
an organizations of the city of New
York found it advisable to nominate
District Attorney Jerome for his pres
Gnt office. He is running as an indie
pendent ana richly deserves to be re-
elected. Tammany thought it was
strong enough this year so that it
need not nominate Jerome The re-
publicans did not want to nominate
him, for the reason that he would be
the only one on the ticket elected The
action of the two political parties in
reference to Jerome is good illus
tration of the baneful influence of the
political machine in municipal poll
tics. Party politics as applied to mu-
nicipal affairs is one of the greatest
evils in this country. 1t keeps out of
employment the best ability Of the
fittest, but the most eligible from the
party standpoint. There is an admiral
BILE opportunity for the people in New
York to show their independence this
year. Mr. Jerome is one Of the most
efficient men ever elected to office in
this country. He Is somewhat cratic,
it Is true, but absolutely honest and
determined to do his duty no matter
what interests may be effected. He is
now before the people of New York
with a record for efficiency that has
never been surpassed, and yet he
stands repudiated by both the political
machines. Tammany could not handle
him, and consequently did not want
him. The republican machine headed
by Ex-Governor Odell could not handle
him, and his reelection might make
| him a formidable candidate on the
| democratic ticket for governor of the
state, so the republicans did not want
him. The republican organization is
placed In the peculiar position of hav.
ing recommended the work which he
performed and yet refused to renomi.
nate him.
It would indeed be evidence of grea
progress should Mr.. Jerome be re.
elected. 1t would be sure sign tina
the people are no longer led about b,
the nose by the bosses. 1t would
prove that the people of New York a
least have come to the point wher,
they realize that national politics hav'
nothing to do with local elections.

sir, I wouldn't worry over that. You
and your descendants will not be in
that battle Why not?' said he. For
the simple reason that you all will be
under the ground, like the potatoes.
The old American family has more
deaths than births. Do you realize
who will be here settling that prob
lem, fighting that battle? The Irish,
the Germans, the Poles, the Italians
and other Catholic nationalities, and
the Church of the ages will settle
that problem as she has settled every
other problem which has arisen in
her history, but that divine authority
and instinct which was given to her
when the Savior said: '"As my Father
hath sent Me, so do send you."'''
The above statement is correct
and thoughtful one. The native Amer
leans, so-called, not the real native
Americans found in the New World
of Christopher Columbus, are con-
fronted with race suicide on the one
hand and immigration on the other, of
hundreds of thousands of Old World
people, who in large numbers stu
cherish the primitive Christian faith.
the Catholic faith. AS years roll by,
the problems of our national life must
more and more be decided by Catholic
influence. Fortunately, that influence
is the main reliance of the friends Of
stable government and the opponents
of anarchy and misrule.

Is the Type Higher in Enaland7

Generous rivalry is very wholesome.
In England they have 100000 Catho-,
lies, but some one has said recently
that the type of Catholic is far higher
and more intelligent in England than
it is in the United States. We have
very grave reasons for doubling this
statement, and the abundant evidences
Of intelligent lay activity on this side
Of the water show that we have as
high, as earnest and as devoted lay
Catholics here as can be found any
where else.
In England, however, there seems to
be very eminent faculty for construe-
tive organization. Recently scheme
for a country-wid lay organizations
having as its object the promotion Of
the conversion Of England, has been
drawn up and received the approbz:-
ton of his Grace the Archbishop of
Westminster, and when practical work
begins, no doubt the sanction of the
local ecclesiastical authorities will also
be obtained. The principal aim of the
association, of which Mr.. Leonard
Smith, Birmingham, is secretary, will
be to remove misunderstanding and
prejudices by the circulation of Cath0-
lie controversial literature and the
support of the Catholic rress. 1t is
surprising to what silly srI stupid
Misrepresentation of Catholics and
Catholic doctrines some Protestants
will give credence. The only remedy
is the constant iteration of the truth
We must repeat in circular leafiet,
newspaper, pamphlet, and book what
Catholics believe and show how
ridiculous are the views and doctrines
attributed 10 them by many Protestant,
writer's. If this is done so effectu-
ally that ignorance of the cardinal
principles of the Catholic faith will
be removed from the minds of the
great masses of people, a large Access
sion Of converts may be expected.
We have Catholic Truth Societies In
this country, but they do not begin to-
cover the vast field OF non Catholics
More individual activity and more dis
interested zeal in distribution are
necessary among us in order to secure
the results that the English Catholics
are about to obtain.

The FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The present Goddess government Of
France has been SO intently occupied
in driving defenceless monks and nuns
out of France that it has had little
time to look after the welfare of the
Republic.
1t is not impossible that there are
serious days close at hand for the
French Republic. France has lost even
the friendship of Russia. This is
shown W the friendship that has re-
Gently grown up between Germany and
Russia. In the last days of the Rus
sian-Japanese war it was Germany
which offered aid and encouragement
to Russia instead of Russia's nominal
ally, France.
few days ago an event took place
which may lead to great developments
in the future. The Car appointed
Prince Louis Bonaparte commander
in-chief of the Russian troops in the
Caucasus. 1t will be remembered that
the Car refused to allow this French
Prince to go to the front in Manchuria
during the recent war, lest by distin-
gushing himself as a Russian COM
| mander he might through military fame
and prestige become a danger to the
Republic in France. Conditions have
!altered. Russia is now willing to honor
\ this representative of the old French
Empire. Should Prince Louis Bona
parte distinguish himself as a COM
mander in the Caucasus and should
the present French government con-
tinue to display inability to check the
growth of Socialism, Louis Bonaparte
might become serious menace to the
French Republic. The present French
government in its insane hatred of re-
ligion is working into the hands of the
Socialistic and Anarchistic propaganda
that is doing so much to bring Paris t.
the condition that existed in 1871.
Should the time come when the
French Republic would be unable t.
preserve order and to protect life ant

FOLK AND WEAVER,

Governor Folk of Missouri has been
helping the friends of good govern
ment in Philadelphia to defeat the
grafters in that city. Folk has done
for Missouri what Mayor Weaver is
now doing for Philadelphia. Both Of
these men We're accidents. Joseph
Folk, a comparatively unknown attor-
ney, was nominated by the Democratic
ring of St. Louis for the office of Dis
trict Attorney. Folk did not want it.,
but was urged to take it by the very
men whom he afterwards prosecuted.
He told them that IL he was elected
that he would do his duty, but great
many other candidates for office had
said the same thing. Folk was elect
ed and those who nominated him found
that he meant what he said. Many
of those instrumental in securing his
nomination and election found them
selves indicted by the grand jury.
Mayor Weaver was nominated by the
Republican ring of the city of Phila-
