Although officials OF the Government

eating the connection Of a yelled wom-
ans visits to Louis A. Gourdain with

mittcd today that treason and treacLery
on the Part OF employees was suspected.
How strong this suspicion is could not
be learned. but superintendent Charles

said Dr.. White in his office at the asy-

Outside Assistance.
1--WE believe that Gourdaiu received
outside assistance. He had a key which
unlocked three doors. There were in
dicauons that the fourth door would
not yield TO the key, and brace and bit
marks were plainly evident. Where
these implements and the key came from
we are not able to say. All we know
is that Gourdain ana Marion Parker
arc missing from this institution: that
they escaped by means of 81 key that
HJled three doors. and a pick with which
a fourth door was forced open"
1t is known that GOuTdain, who made
millions out OF lottery, offered large
sums or money 10 many persons he be-
leved could assist him. That some at
tendant or employee at the Government
Hospital for the Insane may have ac-
cepted one OF GOurdain's offers and fur
nished means by which the famous
prisoner effected his escape is one of
the theories on which the hospital or
hCials are working.

pected of being implicated I'm the deIfv-
cry Of Gourdaln and Parker is known

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON THE DRINK EVIL

On his return from Europe, to New York
World reporter Cardinal Gibbons gave his views
a number of subjects. He spoke on divorce, the
school question, labor topics, and prohibition.
The Cardinal is much gratified that Bishop
Greer of the Protestant Episcopal church, well
as members of other Christian bodies, are coming
around TO the Catholic way of thinking concerning
the gigantic divorce evil. Family purity is the
one and great cure for social Ills" said his Emf
hence.
Education is one of Cardinal Gibbons greatest
hopes for the good of the country, and he very
anxious to make it appear At the time he
eager for religion with education than
he for education alone.
Speaking of labor he is of opinion that the pros
perlty of labor and capital is independent; he be-
lieves there should be courts of arbitration with
permanent chairman, wherein troubles might be
settled
The Cardinal does not believe in prohibition He
thinks that liquor would be sold Just as much un-
der prohibition laws under well-regulated license
The consequence is that liquor would be sold CON
trary to law instead of in accord with the law He
said
when law is fagrantly violated it brings leg
islation into contempt 1t creates spirit of by
pocrisy and deception; it induces men to do nsid-
iously and by stealth what they would otherwise do
openly and above board. Yet all good men, all good
citizens, in favor of temperance. But you can
not by legislation or by civil action compel any man
to the performance of good and righteous deeds.
Let the virtue of temperance be proclaimed in
all the churches. Let the family inculcate in the
children the spiritual and temporal blessings which
spring from life of temperance and sobrety. Let
the father and the mother impress upon their chill
dren the terrible consequences of drunkenness
eve might learn lesson from the old cities of
Europe which for 1000 years have been agitating
this question: There is not a single city in Great
Britain, Ireland the continent which attempts
by law to prohibit the sale of liquor. They have
learned by long experience that the best method of
regulating this article of commerce is to impose IL
censes. to maintain good order for the protection
of the citizens and to punish the vioators of the
law.
High license, l think, is the only solution of
the liquor problem. The infection of fines upon the
violators of the law for the first offense and the
withdrawal of the license or even Imprisonment for
the subsequent infractions would be proper punish
ment."
Cardinal Gibbons views are always weighty and
well worthy of consideration. SO far as the liquor
question is concerned he would enforce the law
If this were done it would quickly settle the trou-
blesome topic Catholic Union and Times.

NOT A LADY.

Did you ever see such ugly hat, or such an

a little ashamed of herself. Then she laughed

In that conjecture Hazel was right The girl
with the unbecoming hat changed cars at the juno
ton. and they did not her again. The proba
bty is that their paths will never cross in the flu
ture, and if they did none of the girls would be
likely to know it.
But that was not the end of the incident as far
as Hazel was concerned. Two days later she went
to call on Mary Stewart, newcomer in the town.

licences of the place In spite of her fathers wealth
and position, Mary a sweet, unspoiled girl and
Hazel fell in love with her from the start. Mary

she said reluctantly:
I'm afraid you're mistaken. dear"
Mary stared.
Why didn't you like her, mamma? I don't see
what there was in her manners you could object to-"
Nothing today, Mary. But unfortunately sat
behind her in the train the other afternoon when
she commented the appearance of girl near
her, in tone that was perfectly audible. She
seemed to think that because she was not likely to

Hazel never knew why it was that her friend

The Altar Boy.

Ii is only by privilege that boys not III minol
orders may serve in the sacred functions at the al

only who had been ordained acolytes. The order of

to the sub-deaconate. In the early ages of the

so highly priced that only the most fervent
deemed worthy of it To be an altar boy is,
then, very great privilege-in fact, next to the
dignity of the priesthood itself What greater priv
ege can we imagine than to be numbered among
the chosen ones, who day after day minister close

is once more being offered up. though in an I'M
bloody manner, to appease the divine wrath!

Newman, in attributing conversion in his day
to the secret STRINGS of grace bids lay hopes
mainly upon those unseen influences which are re-
sponsve only to prayer: Fifty years ago" he
saws religion seemed almost extingushed. To the
ewes of man it was simply declining and wasting
away all through the eighteenth century. The polit-
cs power and social influence of religion was ever
less and less and, then, at last European revolu
ton came and in mans Judgment all was lost But
in its deepest misfortunes began its most wonder
full rise: a reaction set in, and steadily has it pro-
crossed: and the same phenomenon | say, reveals
itself which we read of in former times While
the church has been praying and laboring on her
own field converts, beyond that field, whom she was
not contemplating, have been added to her The
snecia seats of her enemies the very scenes of
this spontaneous accession To the surprise of all
that know them, often to their surprise, those
vbo fear the church or disown her doctrines find
themselves drawing to her by some incompre-
bensbe influence year after year, and at length give
themselves up to her and proclaim her sovereignty.

a bishop needs the earnest, hearty cooperation of
his clergy. This cooperation is assured to him
when his own life is a model of disinterestedness,
of unselfish devotion to duty and when he suffers
all things to bring all to Christ. What priest of
