Little Too Previous.

The prophetic instincts Of the ground
hog having been questioned this year, q
member OF the ophidian creation at
tempted TO pose in the role OF weather
proguosticator yesterday morning. A
moccasin snake which had been hiber-
mating near q spring at Broomilaw, on
the southern confines Of the city, drew
Its slow length from its den and, seeing
its shadow, attempted to return to winter
quarter, but becoming chilled, found it
self helpless. A youth who passing at
the time picked up the reptile and
brought it to this city. Probably the
movements of snakes on the 10Th OF
February may in future attract the at
tention OF those who have lost faith In
the ground hog.

of the Jews from the plot of Hsman to

Last night at ST. Mary's Church a
large audience listened with close atten-
tion TO the priests who are conducting q
mission there. The people are so inter
ested in the sermons and instructions
that the,severe weather does not interfere
with the attendance.
The instruction last evening was given
BIZ Father Waters and his subject was
the "Infalhbility of the Pope" Some
people, be said, wrongly imagine that
this doctrine means that the Pope can
do nothing wrong, that he is personally
without sin, that he is morally perfect,
that whatever he says We Catholics be-
lieye il al A revelation of God, that he is
continually making new dogmas or doc
trines and imposing them by his su-
iboritv upon deluded and too credulous
people,
Tnis idea OF papal infallibility, he
said, was totally erroneous and absurd.
No Catholic has any such idea OF the
Pope or Of his Office of supre me pastor
and teacher of the church.
His infallible teaching authority is q
necessary adjunct OF his primacy. com
ing down to him from st. Peter, the first
Pope, who received this prerogative
from Christ himself. -.
The obiec, of this iDfallibility is reli-
ious truth or matters OF faith and
morals. The Pope may err IN science
or politics or other questions OF human
knowledge.
Asa private individual he might even
have erroneous ideas on religious mat
ters. But he is an officer, and he is in
fallible only when acting in his official
capacity as head Of the Church Catholic,
aud defining a doctrine TO be held oy all
Christians. He is not the recipient Of
new revelations, but he is the conserva-
tor of the deposit OF truth revealed by
Christ. He is the Supreme Cont from
whose decison on matters of faith there
il no appeal Nor is an appeal from
his decision reasonable, because in viz
tue of his infaIlibility he is preserved
by Almighty God from making false
decision.
The promises made by Christ to St
Peter and TO apostles guarantee the
teachings of the church. As Christ
cannot lie, neither can he allow his chief
witness to lie in his name and thus Sc
duce the whole church. Infallbility
banishes religious doubts and ends dis
cussion by asserting the truth once for
oil.
It gives certainty to faith BY resting
il upon the authority of God rather than
upon the varying opinions of men. The
sermon of Father Van Ingelgem was on
the "Waqes of Sin," and roduced a
profound impression on the aud fence.

Bidding for Manufactures.

TIE city Of Washington and the
counties of Alexandria and Fairfax are
taking measures toward making ex.
hibits at jamestown setting forth the
advantages of those localities for man

similar steps, as il possesses all natural
advantages not only for manufactures, but
for any other class of enterprises.

ing officers, including Edward w.
Swisher as president, directors of the
Columbus Driving Park company went
on record as being in favor of expan-
sion when they instructed the secre-
tary to ask for dates that will keep
the Grand Circuit compaigners of 1907
in Columbus for two weeks from Sept.
16 to q, inclusive. The board has
been given to understand that no
meeting will be given next fall at Oak

of one million dollars will be offered

outlined call for the hanging up of an
