What's this about women never
learning anything discovering
anything? The ladies of the Army
lanch the laundering truth upon an in
sect-to;tured world that musketos never
bite thru anything white. while black
and colors attract them. They-that IS
the Iadies-learneJ this in the Phillip
pines. and therefore in the rlusketc
season they never wear any but white
gloves, white stockings and white else
where accessible to the vicious little
monsters. If this be true, it is worth all
that the Philippines have cost us. Ru'
why did not those exceedingly wise
scientists who have been making :

Gen. Castillo kindly warn; US against
staying in Cuba too long. The high
spirited Cubans may lose their self
control and do something TO US that we
will not like. That has a far-away
memory OF the kind of talk INDUCED in
by people down South. 1t is true that
we did not exactly like the things they
did because we would not go back. but
they did not like the things we did in
return a little bit, and they finally de-
cided to let US stay until we were ready
TO go. Gen. Castillo will find the his
tory Of 1875 both entertaining and in
structiye.

CATASTROPHE ON THE GEORGIA.

Another distressing accident on our
warships comes to sadden our people.
! 1t is another turret explosion, this time
on the battleship Georgia. which was
at target practice of Provincetown,
Mass. BY it eight men were killed out
! right and Is injured, OF whom three
are on the dangerous list. Among
those killed was Lieut.. Caspar Good
rich, of Brooklyn, n. Y, son of Rear
Admiral Goodrich. In some manner
not yet known two bags of powder con-
| tanning 200 pounds became ignited, fill
| ing the turret with flames and eXplo-
sions. Lieut. Goodrich and Seaman
Malek were crazed by the smoke. flame
and acrid gas. clambered up to the top
Of the turret and threw themselves into
| the sea. There are two theories as to
the cause. one being spark floating
back from the muzzle of the guns such
as caused previous explosions. and an
/ other a spark coming down from the
smokestack. There have been four pre-
vious explosions of this kind: One Jan.
| IS, 1908, on the Massachusetts,, killed
nine men; one April ., 1908, on the
Iowa, killed three men and wounded
four others; one April 13, 1904. on the
Missouri, killed five officers and 26 en-
listed men. and one April 13, 1905, on
the Kearsarge. severely wounding three
men.
The Georgia is one of the newest bat
tleships. having been accepted only last
week. She is n magnificent fighting
machine of 14.50O"tons and speed of
IS knots. She carries "a guns of four
| inches and over, and "a smaller guns.
1t was supposed that sufficient precau-
tions had been taken after the previous
explosions to prevent such terrible ac-
dents in the future. This hope appears
not to be justified. The smokeless pow
der which is used in these guns does
not explode in the open like ordinary
| powder, but when it is ignited gives off
dense and poisonous gas which ex-
plodes with great violence.

DELONG ARRA|GNED
BY CATHOLIC PAPER
Columbian Record Publishes
Article in Reference to
The Lecturer.
NOW AT NEW PARIS, OHIO.
DELoNG is GIVING A SERIES OF
ADDRESSES ON "ROMANISM," IN
WHICH HE AT aCkS THE
CHURCH.

Rev. F. F. belong is engaged in de
livering series of lectures at New
Paris, O., on ''Romanism,' his subjects
being: why I Refused to Become
Catholic Priest; "Purgatory"; 1.-THE
Nunnery'; 1.-The Secret Confessional"
In speaking of Mr.. belong the Catho-
lie Columbian Record, published at In
dianapolis, says:
The Rev. John Noll recently gave
two interesting lectures to the non
Catholics of Rome City and La Grange,
Ind The lectures were intended to
counterfeit the influence of certain
slanderous TRADES, that a few weeks
previously had been served up to the
people of the above places, against the
Catholic Church in general and her
priests and Sisters in particular.
In his Rome City lecture, Father
Noll gave considerable attention to
the history of some of the Church
haters, who had recently appeared in
neighboring places. The recitation
was rather unsavory; but being found
ed on first hand evidence, it was quite
enough to convince his hearers. The
lecturer then exploded some of the
stale ISLANDERS, that had been served
up here and at Wolcottville by one
belong, now in the service of the Bap-
fist communities of these places.
belong was in the audience; and
when Father Noll graciously allowed
the floor to any one who desired to
make any remarks, he arose, not to
defend any of his own slanderous ut
terances, but to bolster up the totter-
ing characters of his confreres in vii
lainy.
In this scene of the performance
belong demonstrated that. whether
he is densely ignorant or profoundly
malicious. he is certainly brazenfaced.
AS fast as he made his statements in
defense of Delaney and Williams they
were proven false by Father Noll or by
Father Quinlan. who was in the audi
ence and gave some of his personal ex-
periences with the falsifiers in refuta-
ton of belong. But the impudence
of the latter finally became so great,
that the audience sickened of it, walk
ed out of the hall.
At LAGRANGE. Father Noll confined
himself to the explanation of the
church doctrine on points of belief
that have always been stumbling
blocks to our separated brethren. such
as purgatory, confession. Catholics and
the bible celibacy of the clergy and of
sisterhoods. As his time was limited
he did not extend any invitation to the
audience to ask questions. However.

pudence enough to make an attempt

meeting was breaking up. Father

TWO CHEERFUL LIARS.
A Queer Cherry Tree and a Back Ac-
ton Cannon Ball.

A Queer Cherry Tree and a Back Ac.
ton Cannon Ball.
Mr. Finlayson, town clerk of Stirling
in the latter part OF the seventeenth
century, was noted for the marvellous
in conversation He was on a visit to
the Earl of Monteith and Airth in his
castle of TAXA. on the loch Of Mon
teith, and was about taking leave
when nc was asked by the earl whe.h-
err he had seen the sailing cherry tree.
mo- said Finlayson What sort OF
q thing is it?'
1T is" replied the earl, "a tree that
has grown out OF goose's mouth from
a stone the bird had swallowed and
which she bears about with her il
voyages round the loch. 1t is just a,
present in full fruit of the most exqui
site flavor. Now. Finlayson," he add
ed, "ean you, with all your powers OF

tory of Delaney, among other things
stating, that he had letters to show
that said Delaney had absconded with
the funds of a certain Baptist commu-
nifty. This belong denied and chal-
lenged proof. Before Father Noll
could produce his evidence, however, a
gentleman in the audience produced a
letter saying: II have the evidence
right here, letter from his own min
lister, proving Delaney a pilferer."
That satisfied the audience and they
dispersed.

NAMES OF BATTLE
SHIPS IS QUESTION
Action by Congress Will Be
Asked by United States
Navy Department.
SKATES HAVE BEEN USED.
FOR SOME REASON, THAT HAS
NOT BEEN FULLY EXPLAINED,
THERE is A PREJUDICE
AGAINST UTAH.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The navy de-
partment now plans to ask Congress
to legislate at the next session on the
question of names for battleships here
listing law provides that battleships
shall be named after states of the I'm
ion 1t so happens that with one ex-
ception these names have been ex-
hausted. That exception is Utah, and
for some reason or other, not fully ex-
planned at the navy deartment, there
is a prejudice against giving the name
of Utah to a battleship. 1t is not a
fact that there are as many battleships
as there are states in the union. Long
before legislation specifically required
battlehips to be called after the various
commonwealth the names of many of
them were selected for ships of other
classes. Some of the cruisers and
monitors are so named. There has
been some talk of recommendation to
congress authorizing the remaining of
these minor vessels and reserving the
names of states for the battleships of
the future But because of confusion
which would inevitably result from
the remaining of naval vessels. the Off
Gals of the navy department are just
now at loss how to proceed. One of
the new 10000 ton battleships has al
ready been called the Delaware. The
name of the remaining one is yet to be
selected. 1t could be Utah. or perhaps
even Oklahoma may soon be available.
