ness Pope Leo Nil conferred the title
of basilica, with all the privileges APP
pertaining thereto.
AS we have already seen, wonderful
cures have been wrought in the sanctu-
airy of Beaupre as early as 1862. Pill
grims of all classes went thither in
great numbers; but as yet there was
no souvenir of st. Anne to be offered to
the veneration Of the faithful. The zeal
of Monseigneur de Laval supplied the
want. Through his efforts, a precious
relic was obtained from Carcassonne.
1t is a notable fragment Of finger
bone Of ST. Anne. 1t was exposed for
the first time on the 9TH of March. 1870,
and has not ceased since then to be al
object of fervent devotion. The letters
attesting it's authenticity can be seen,
hanging in frames, upon the walls OF
the sacristy.
A second relic has been presented tc
the church, in 1880, by Rev. Father
Charmetant, procurator Of the African
missions. 1t is a fragment of rock ,eN.
tracted from the room Of ST. Anne, ir
Jerusalem. This room, wherein tool
place the mysteries of the immaculate
Conception and the birth Of the Blessed
Virgin, is at present the crypt Of the
basilica of st. Anne at Jerusalem.
A third relic has been given in Jan.
1891, by the bishop of Carcassonne
France. Finally, fourth relic was
sent on the Goth of July, 1892, the feas
of ST. Anne, by His Holiness Leo XIII.

part Of the wrist-bone of st. Anne, has
been exposed in New York
We were courte ously shown throHgl
the new and old church by the Prizes
in charge. One thing which attracted
our attention was the rooms which
were literally filled with offerings o
iJewelry by the people who had mad<
pilgrimages to ST. Anne's shrine
Costly bracelets, watches, rings, ane
valuables of every description are pilet
up representing hundreds of Thousands
of dollars. The priest in charge of tn,

BALL PLAYERS SUpfRSTlTlONS

stitions of base ball players:
Its queer, but nevertheless true
that the majority of base ball play
ers are superstitious in regard to
their clothing. had my own
troubles with the old st. Louis
Browns on this score. There was
Curt Welsh, for instance, who
would never dream of going into a
game unless he had a red silk shirt
under his uniform and next to his
precious skin. Curt insisted that
the red silk shirt was not only his
mascot but helped his throwing
arm. He could never explain in
what way this red shirt helped him
to throw but he would get as mad
as a hornet If one attempted to
argue the point with him. To add
to my troubles, 'Yank' Robson, the
great second baseman, had q weak
ness almost as bad. His fad was
silk stockings, which he claimed

A SYMPATHETIC
BOND STRAINED

One effect of long office holding
is to make of public men a class,
and class that appears aloof from
the common people.
Senator Spooner, for instance,
protege of railroads, was sent to
congress. Twenty years later he
is still in congress from Wisconsin,
but stays in New Hampshire, New
York and Washington, and is seen
by his constituents only when he
goes home to vote or to take part
in campaign.
With such vital measure as
railroad rate regulation in the bal
ance, the people must feel that they
could be more directly represented.

there was a dreadful uproar.

Welsh. "The idiot who packed the

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 10
The impression is gaining ground
that, Notwithstanding the lessons
taught by the late Russian-Japan-

ance of target practice for the navy,
congress will materially cut down
the appropriation of the navy, par
ticularly the estimate for ammuni-
ton for target practice. The Of
GERS who have to do with naval
gunnery will enter an energetic pro-
test against any serious reduction
of the appropriation, but it is doubt
full whether their protests will have
much effect.
