Philadelphia Rector Refuses Them
Entrance TO His Church.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.--Members
OF the Ancient Order of Hibernans
were greatly stirred up by the refusal
of the Rev. ID. l. McDermott. rector of
st. Mary's Roman Catholic church in
this city, to permit funeral services to
be held in his church over the remains
OF John DAILY, a parishloner, because a
Hibernian lodge had been invited to
attend the obsequies. Because of Fa-
Their McDermott's opposition to the Hi
bernians the funeral had to be post
poned. Subsequently the invitation to
the Ancient order of Hlbernians to at
tend the funeral was revoked, and the
funeral was held from the church.
Father McDermott in explanation Of
his opposition TO the society said he
formed an opinion of the Hibernians
during the Molly Mcguire reign of ter
ror in the Pennsylvania coal regions.
He said:
my absolute opposition to the An
Client Order of Hibernians Is based on
my knowledge and the facts in my pos
session about the Molly Maguires,
which | got directly from the con-
demned Molly Maguires themselves.
No power on earth will ever make me
recede one inch from my stand against
the Hibernians. I have given my tes-
timony against them. and what said

SAFE IN poR-.
Overdue Liner Mount Royal steams

Overdue Liner Mount Royal steams
Into Queenstown, ireland.
QUEENSTOWN, Jan. S.-The long
overdue steamer Mount Royal steamed
slowly into Queenstown, and the news
of her safety was received with ex-
pressions of delight in shipping circles.
She has not been heard from in many
days. having been last reported off the
Lizard on Dec. 10, and watch was be-
ing kept for her on both sides Of the
Atlantic and as far south as Bermuda.
The Mount Royal belongs to the Ca
madam railways Atlantic service. She
left Antwerp Dec. for st. John, n. b.
She had on board 800 Hungarian emil
grants and crew OF about 100 men.
She was first definitely sighted off Old
Head of Kinsale, sixteen miles west
of this port She was then proceed
ing slowly under her own steam and
signaled that she was coming in here.
She declined the help of tug that was
sent out to assist her and came In
alone.
The Mount Royal had trouble with
her boilers. and this was the reason
she had to put back. She is ut best a
slow boat. and shortly after leaving
the British coast she encountered a
series of violent gales. She battled
with the heavy weather for fortnight,
until Christmas eve, when serious trou-
BILE with her boilers developed The
steamship was then in longitude 24.50
west, latitude As north.
The engine room staff ultimately sue
ceeded In obtaining moderate supply
of steam, but the weather was such
that the captain reluctantly decided 1t
was best to make for the Irish coast.
Consequently the steamship was head
cd about and steamed slowly into port.
Passengers and crew are all right.
The officers described the weather
after leaving the Lizard as the worst
experienced on the Atlantic for many
years. An awful hurricane ragged un.
ceasingly for days, making the condi'
tons fearful for all on board. Fortu.
nately the steamship had huge store
Of extra provisions, and everything
humanity possible was done for the
comfort OF the passengers. who vera
compelled to spend such a memorable
Christmas on the Atlantic.
One passenger said:
1--WE thought we were lost. We saw
nothing for fifteen days but a wall OF
green sea water at both sides Of the
ship, nothing but darkness for days
together. We dared not go on deck, as
the ship looked as though she was
standing on end at times. We spent a
most unhappy Christmas, many OF us
being sick. but we tried to make our
selves as happy as we might. When at
last we came safely to port, we could
only thank heaven for our escape"
On arriving at Queenstown the pas
sengers assembled and voted their
grateful thanks to the captain and off,

DOUBTS WoMEN's WORD.
Colonel Lewis Says an Oath Means
Nothing to Them.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-"Remember, gen.
tlemen of the bar, an oath means moth
ing TO a woman, and. as Horace has so
truthfully expressed it, When wO-
man starts out to perjure herself all
hell cannot keep her record"
With these words and few more
like them. Colonel James Hamilton
Lewis took the breath away from 200
students of the Northwestern Univer-
sity Law school.
"A woman always comes to testify
as witness for one of two reasons"
he said. Either she comes through q
sense Of affection or duty to those
whom she loves or she comes to satisfy
what she regards as a perfectly legiti-
mate feeling of resentment.
"If 1t Is the first Of these she will
come through fire and water to testify,
and she will see these things az her
friend views them. Sincerely and ear
nestly she will testify that things are
AZ she thinks they ought to be. and you
may cross examine until you have ex-
hausted the vocabulary and you will
get nothing from her but her ideas Of
what they ought to be. A woman has
NO idea Of the sanctity of an oath, and
Z woman will repeat when on oath any
thing which she will say when not on
oath.

Plummer.-This section is ringing
with praise of Mrs. A. r. Harris, wife
of 500 section foreman, who res
cued her 4-year-old son from drown
ing in an unused well near the Harris
home.
The mother was startled by her
little son Clarence, who rushed in
crying that Roy, aged 4, had fallen in
the tank. She hurried out and looked
in the railroad bitches and water bar
rels, and Clarence followed and point
ed out the old well. She could not
see the child, as he had sunk from
sight.
The mother got into the we'll and
down to the water level, distance of
about twelve feet. Just then the boy
rose to the surface and she caught
him by the hair. How she got out of
the well with the unconscious form of
her little son, she is unable to tell,
and that they were not both drowned
seems miracle.
She carried the boy into the house
and by rolling and artificial respira-
ton treatment removed the water
out of his lungs and stomach and he
soon regained consciousness.

TROLLEY CAR Crash
THIRTY OTHERS ARE INJURED IN
A COLLISION NEAR YPSl-
LANTI, MICH.
The Motorman of lnterurban Limited
Runs by New Meeting Place Con-
trary to Orders. Trouble Due to
Schedule Change.

Detroit, Mich, April 29.-Two large
tnterurban trolle y cars on the Detroit
United Railways system running from
Detroit to Jackson, collided head-on
yesterday afternoon while running
about forty-five miles an hour, twen-
ty-five miles west of here near Ypsi-
lanti. Nine men were killed and
about thirty men and women injured,
some of them seriously. All of the
seriously wounded were taken to the
University hospital at Ann Arbor.
A mistake in orders on the part of
motorman lisa Fay of the limited car,
who was crushed to death beneath
his vestibule, is alleged to have
caused the collision. 1t is charged
that he overan his orders. His home
was at Jackson, Mich. The dead are :
MOTORMAN ISA FAY, Jackson.
JOHN PAGET, Detroit.
CHARLES CARMEN, Detroit.
GEORGE HOWARD, Detroit.
Unidentified Italian workman.
Unidentified man bound for Detroit

GARBORINO GRONNI, Detroit.
Three unidentified men.
-Four of the injured are in critical
condition in the hospital here. They
are:
Mrs. L. A. Chamberlain, Detroit.
w. s. Steuer, Detroit.
Roy Williams, Ann Arbor.
An Italian workman.
Among the less seriously injured
are Edward Dewitt of Grand Forks,
N. D., and G. w. Reeve of Vanwert,
Ohio.
The limited car, comfortably filed
with about forty people, left Ypsilanti
at 2:17 o'clock for Detroit. The run
ming time of the car was changed to-
day and reduced, SO that Motorman
Fay left Ypsilanti ten minutes earlier
than he had been accustomed to. This
is thought by some to have been re-
sponsible for his mistake.
Instead of stopping at the Harris
Switch where the cars should have
passed the limited rushed by at high
speed. Four miles from Ypsilanti at
curve the cars crashed together
with terrific impact.

Improving Diaries.

st. Paul.-In order to insure better
sanitary conditions in the dairies of
the state and to reduce, if not stop,
the importation of cattle which have
not been inspected, the state live
stock sanitary board will make pro-
visions for more strict enforcement
of the laws relating to tuberculosis
among cattle and attempt to secure
the cooperation of cattle breeders.
These subjects were taken up at the
quarterly meeting of the board, held
in the old capitol. A strict enforce
ment of sanitary regulations in dair-
les was shown by statistics to work a
reduction in percentage of tuberculo-
sis among cattle. The board decided
to have one of the field veterinarians
inspect the diaries throughout the
state and to take such steps as may
be necessary to enforce strict com.
pliance with the regulations.

ALMOST A SCARE

Stage.

Red Wing, Mimi, April 29.-At
the recital given by the pupils of the
public schools at the auditorium an
accident happened which but for the
prompt action of the stage hands
might have resulted seriously.
Some one of the young people had
placed an umbrella against an mean
descent bulb in one of the dressing
rooms and in some way short cir
cult was formed. The umbrella
caught fire from the heat and dense
volume of smoke issued from the
room and filed the stage. The burn
ing umbrella was snatched up by one
of the employees and thrown out of
the window. But for this prompt
action on his part the fire would
have spread with serious if not fatal
results.
The auditorium stage was at this
time filed with young folks and the
performance was about to begin.
All the openings between the stage
and the main buildings were closed
at once and the audience knew little
