practice for the Long island contest will
be another southern contender.
Whether the duplicate ''90'' Locomobiles
will be sent south in January has not yet
been determined, but IT is probable that
both the OldSmObile and Pope-Toledo cup
cars will be there. The youthful cOnStruc-

Keeping the Sabbath in San Francisco

Keeping the Sabbath in San Francisco.
Writing to the New York Times Of
the open-air services which were held
in the streets of San Francisco, once SO
full of busy life, a correspondent says:

with Il message of courage and hope to
the people. They kneel in the street
for his blessing and as they rise you
may read many things in their faces,
but never, never the note of despair.

again are crowds of people at the OUT

ture. The whole church has fallen

there among the ruins something great

thing that reminds one of the majesty

RUSSELL SAGE.
Served Two Terms in Congress in the
Fifties as a Whi3.

Fitties as WING.
The late Russell Sage figured so
conspicuously in finance that it is not
generally remembered that he ever took
part in politics. A writer in the Hous-
ton (TeXas) Post says that it is strange
that none of Sage's biographical
sketches refer to his political career.
The Post writer says: Sage was cleo
ted Il representative from the Troy dis
trict to the Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth congresses as n whig and served
two full terms, beginning March 3,
1853. and ending March 5, 1857. 1t was
in the congress succeeding Sage's last
term that John H. Reagan and Guy
NJ. Bryan made up the Texas delega-
ton in the house. There are few menu
bers of the Thirty-t third congress who
survive, Galusha A. Grow being the
only one recalled at this moment. Sage
had as his colleagues men who are

A correspondent under date of Au-

falo, n. Y, Catholic Union and Times:
The newspapers announce that Il
"deputation is now in America to OBJ
tain objects of historical interest for
the International Exhibition to be held
in Dublin in 1907"
In dispatch published in the news
papers on July 9TH, it was stated that
The Irish Nationalist are particular
ly opposed to John E. Redmond,
leader of the Irish parliamentary party
in the House of Commons, explaining
that what Ireland wants at present is
a national, and not an International,
exhibition, as the Irish industries are
not yet sufficiently developed to be
placed beside the manufactures of
other countries
1t is further added that representa-
tions had been made 20 the state de-
partment at Washington that it was
not desired by the people of Ireland.
for whom Mr.. Redmond spoke, that
any encouragement should be lent to
the project
Stripping the subject of technical
tiles, the fact is that the proposed In
ternatioral Exhibition OF 1907, in Dub
lin is intended to be Of an anti-national

and that for these and other reasons
Irish nationalistS of every shade Of
opinion are unanimously opposed to it,

public should understand what it is
they are asked to favor when their
support to the project is invited. There
is an Irish National" Exhibition in
contemplation to be run by the people
of Ireland themselves In contla -distinc-
ton to the so-called International Elk
