Prays Before He Enters The Lions
Gage.

No doubt it will be surprise to the amuse
ment loving public to know that Louis Able
Abdul de Ballistrer, the young man who can
guide lion to do his bidding by stamp of
the foot or snap of his fingers, has deeply
religious temperament. Louis is a Catholic,
and he is confident that he will be protected
ia his hazardous feats in the lions den, it has
been his faith, and his prayers that have
helped him through the many attacks from
the infuriated beasts. About his neck upon
small gold chain he wears gold cross; he
values it highly. The cross was given to him
by one of the most distinguished churchmen
in the country. The Clergyman visited de
Ballistrier's performance while in Philadel-
phia, and personally complimented him.
The lion act has also been witnessed by many
Catholic CIergymen of Baltimore, who hon
ored de Ballistrier, by complimenting him
for his bravery. The young man acknowl-
edges that he seldom goes into the arena,
without uttering short prayer. Its moth
ing' he said, it is natural for a Catholic to
say 'a short prayer occasionally during the
day." Once watching the young man bow
his Acknowledgements to the applause that
greets his entrance into the arena, and the
pictures he forms with his lions, they never
dreamed for a moment that he had been pray.

President Roosevelt and His Party.

The position of Mr.. Roosevelt as Presi-
dent of the United States, places him at
the head of the Republican party in the
country. And it is quite we'll understood,
by all who have watched the course of
events, that he is disposed to claim all the
prerogatives belonging to his position, and
has, in fact, been the dominant factor In
his party.
Mr.. Roosevelt has never been popular
with the leaders of his party, and but for
his adroitness as a politician and his natural
aggressiveness, he would probably not have
been the candidate of his party in 1904.
No shrewder or bolder politician has ever
occupied the White House.
His taking Mr.. Cortelyou, who had
been his private secretary and afterwards
a member of his cabinet, and making him
chairman of the National Republican Com
mittee, and the manager of the campaign,
was at the time, very severely and very
Justly criticised. But this was Roosevelt
ian and his party had to put up with 1t.
There are indications, at this time, that
he is going to have a strong opposition in
his own party. Senator Foraker of Ohio,
a man who stands high in his party, and
is one of the Presidential possibilities, made
a speech in the United States Senate very
recently, in which he severely attacked
the President for his action in connection
with the dismissal of the colored troops for
their outrageous conduct at Brownsville,
Texas.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent special message to
the Senate, in reply to an inquiry from
that body, setting forth in strong terms
the conduct of the troops, characterizlng
them as murderers, etc., and citing GER
tain precedents for his action in dismissing
them with dishonor.
No one will question the fact that these
eolored men, wearing United States uni
forms, did on this occasion commit acts,
if proven in court of law againsta civilian,
which would hang him. The point fSena-
tor Foraker's criticism, however, was that
the President acted in the matter without
authority of law, that the law govern
ing the army, guarantees to an accused
soldier trial by Court Martial, just as
a civilian being accused, is entitled to
trial by Jury. This would seem to be so,
and if so, the President over-leaped the
law in dealing with this case.
There can be no palliation for the con-
duct of these colored troops, who murdered
innocent and inofensive citizens, but less
palliation, if possible, for the President, ii
he has violated the law in inficting pun
ishment. There will, likely, be warm
discussion of the subject upon the reassem-
bling of Congress, after the holiday vaca-
ton, and stir in the Republican camp.
