Il do not believe in any half-heart-

Fifteen years on the Republican con-

Enters Priesthood.

The following which appeared in the
e Chicago Record Herald of the 23rd
inst. will be of interest to many in
this city and to the alumni of Sacred
Heart college:
David P. O'Leary, lawyer and
former postmaster of Evanston, is
to enter the priesthood, his initiation
INTO the order of the Holy Cross at
Notre Dame, Ind, being announced
to take place in the n ext two weeks.
He is son of the late John O'Leary,
one of the first settlers in Evanston.
He was born in 1853 and graduated
from Notre Dame in 1873. On the
death of his father he gave up pre-
paratlou for the priesthood and took
the chair of languages in Sacred Heart
College, Watertown, Wis. Eventually
he resigned that position and returned
to Evanston to start in the coal bust
ness, leasing the Dempster street
docks. When the courts condemned
this site for the Sheridan road buole-
ward he entered on the practice of
law. Three years ago his mother
died, and he closed his Office in the
Metropolitan Block and became ms
tructor in law at st. Edward S College,
Austin, Texas. There he resumed his
priesthood studies.

The metal polishers and brass work

York.
Lake pilots threaten to strike if
their organization is net recognized,
and this will tie up most of the

Lakes and use Chicago as harbor.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor and A. Furuseth,
legislative representative of the Inter
national Seamen's Union, appeared
before the House Committee on Judici-
airy recently in opposition to the Gil
bert Anti Injunction bill, which would
legalize injunctions in labor disputes.
Because of the energetic attitude
taken by the organized labor in Santa
Clara county, California, against the
employment of Mongolians, at least
one-half of the Chinese and japanese
have already been discharged.
Plans are under way at Minneapolis,
Mimi, for the formation of con-
sumers' league, the main object of
which will be to combine the purch-
asing power of organized labor.
Chicago teamsters say that if they
do not get a wage increase they will

When one of your customers turns
to your advertisement to ascertain
at what prices your are selling certain
things, and fails to secure the infor-
nation, he is disappointed-and he is
very apt to feel an interest in the
ads. of stores in which he does find
what he is looking for. The moral"
is that a merchant should cover a
wider range of articles and prices in
his ads.
