A PRo.sRlr,eH ADMIRAL


m;,nd of Admiral sperry reached Sgd

recipients of the most cordial well
come from the Inhabitants. Banquets
were rendered them, the cities vera
illuminated in their honor, and nothing
was left undonc to make their stay one
of the pleasantest events of their life.
When the Irish citizens learned that
Ensign Robert Ernmet was on one of

widest enthusiasm and showered the
warmest hospitality on him because
Of the name he bore. Though the e1-
lies of Erin in New Zealand and Aus

native land to seek new homes ut the

The Irish people of Australia were
highly pleased with the American Of
ticers and mon of tho fleet, with the
exception of Admiral sperry who
proved himself to be an Anglomaniac.
The F'rceman's Journal Of Sydney took
exception to his remarks on the
friendship that existed between the
scattered members of the so-called
Anglo Saxon race, but evidently Ad-
riraI Sperry never read the structure,
eor he repeated his utterances when
the fleet stopped at Ceylon, where the
Irish are not SO numerous and in
:luential as in Australia. In spcccll
to the Cingalesc he said:
",rhc greatest benefit OF our cruise
is the appreciation VIC have gained of
the unvarying goodwill of Great
Britain. There is the happiest pros
pcct of welding The English speaking
nations in friendship of common in
terest."
Now, what clap-trap that is from
ali American admiral. If that is "the
greatest benefit of our cruise" the
feet should have remained at home.
What the fleet went into the Pacific
FOR was to show Japan our naval
strength, and not to gain the unyary-

Admiral Sperry should take a cours,

AN IRISH KNIGHT.
Sir Henry 5eIIinsham. Chamberlain
Under Three Popes,

O"NS' suu 0S 'oPoSs
Sir Henry Bellinghalns career is
we'll kown to all of us, and has won for
him the unique position he holds in
the esteem Of his countrynen the wor' 4
over. First and before all Sir Henry
is Catholic, says the Dundalk Demo-
crat.
He has never wavered ir his fidelity
to his religion. and may very truly be
taken as the grandest type of an Irish
Catholic layman. Three successive
Popes-Pius the Ninth, Leo the Ti1ir-
teenth and Plus the Tentl1--llave set
their seal on this description Of Sir
Henry by selecting him from the Cath
olic laymen of Europe for the exa *ed
office of Private Chamberlain at the
Vatican. Sir Henry has done a mans
part in every movement for the good Of
ireland for many years. Before the
present Irish party arose, Sir Henry
was staunch Home Ruler in the Par
lament Of 1880, in which he represent
ed his native County Of I4outl. It is
easy for us to be Nationalists and
Home Rulers, but for Il man III Sir
Henry's position to divest himself Of
reactionary prejudices and inherited
tendencies, no ordinary political insight
and no ordinary courage was REQUIRED.
Home Rule in the early eighties vas an
exceedingly advanced policy. Sir Hen
ry, contrary to his class interests, adj
vocated it then as he does today. a
few months ago at a public meeting in
Drogheda he put his unchanging faith
in Home Rule before the world in a
manner that merits the grateful an
probation Of every true Nationalist.
Sir Henry Bellingham's help and in
SEPARATION is at the service of the peo-
pie in every phase of irish public life.
An educationalist of the highest rank
(for he is chairman of the National
Board of Education and Senator &C the
Royal University Of Ireland), he did
yeoman's service in pushing the fight
for a Catholic University for Ireland
to a successful issue. When the Gaze
lie League appeared on the horizon Sir
Henry at once recognized its value as
national and educa tional force, and

man and paternal landlord. Amongst
his tenantry and dependents he is be-
loved for his goodness, his thoughtful

VIGOROUS PROTEST.
From Catholic Priests Against Use Of
Text Books.

0~~'>os
The Catholics of North Dakota are
up In arms against the text book on
the history Of pedagogy as used by the
state normal schools OF the state ard
the first volume of the collections of
the State Historical Society Of North
Dakota. and through Bishop John
Stanley of Fargo, a petition has been
sent to Governor Burke protesting
against an expense in taxation which
they claim makes them appear ridicu-
lous, says the Fargo Forum of Dec. %.
The petition, which has been signed
by 800 priests of the diocese of Fargo,
and sent to Bishop Stanley, who in
turn forwarded IT to the governor, is as
follows:
We, your petitioners. are the Cati1o-
lie priests OF your diocese. which en-
braces the whole of the state of North
Dakota. We know your zeal for our
holy religion. We recogize the vast
work you have done in this state dur
ing the past nineteen years. Many of
us have received from you our pricstly
ordination, and all Of us lovingly &C.
knowledge you to be our chief pastor.
If we now come to you witt, a petit
ton, believe us, 1t is solely because we
want to strengthen your arms in your
battle for truth and light-not to fiji j
fault with the successful work you
have done.
With all due respect, we, your priests,
therefore lay before you the following
facts:
F'irst-The Catholic laity Of this
state and diocese numbers today up
wards Of 10000. Among the citizens
of North Dakota there are none more
progressive and law-abidins than those
10000 who claim membership in the
Catholic church, and we, your priests.
are glad to acknowledge that their
good citizenship is in large measure
due to your influence.
Second-The Catholic priests in the
diocese number 1O4.
Third-Priests and people in this
diocese and state have cndeavored 10
; work for the welfare of the state to
the best Of their ability They are ev-
erywhere respected.
Fourth-The Catholics ot this state
pay heavy taxes. In many instances
Catholics are paying a double tax for
conscience sake--the state tax and the
! church tax for education. They pay
both taxes cheerfully and when they
use tho state schools they ought not to
be insulted.

Fort Payne, March 31.-(Special 1.-The coroners jury has reached verdict in the Luke Smith case, holding him for murder in the first degree The jury, which was empanelled on Saturday after noon, immediately after the murder of Buely Rogers by Luke Smith, has been in constant session, holding at night and all day Sunday. A large number of wit nesses were examined, and excitement was at fever heat all during the examina- ton.
 The boys Henry Owens and Jim Stout. who have been confined in the jail, were turned loose yesterday after confessing the truth about the killing of Rogers. These boys, together with Luke Smith and Buely Rogers. were near the old ceme- tery just below the town, engaged In shooting craps and drinking, it is said, when Smith shot Rogers, claiming it was accidental and threatened to kill the other boys if they told on him.
 It was brought out that this is the third man that Smith has killed, and that he was boasting on Saturday the day of the killing, that just year ago that day he had killed man aud that he might get another before night.

Talladega, March sl.-(special)-F some time past there have been state ments in the newspapers that the Fire mems Trt-state tournament would not be held this year in Talladega, owing to the lack of support among the people and an unwilllngness to contribute to the enter tainment on the part of the business men.
 A casual investigation shows that this statement Is unfounded The F4temen have already quite nice little sum on hand contributed for this purpose The city proposes to make an appropriation to build the track and the citizens to whom the matter has been mentioned promise to contribute freely.
 There has never been a thorough can yass of the citizens on this subject by the hremen, and the conclusion that the necessary funds could not be raised was nasty and unfounded.

MISS DRAUGHDRILL
 GIVES RECITAL
BY CHARLES B. CARTER.

Marion, March 31.-(Special.) )-Monday evening, March 29, Frederic A. Goode, di- rector of music, presented his pupil, Miss Nelle Carson Daughdrill, in senior piano. forte recital in Alumnae auditorium.
 Miss Daughdrill was assisted by her sister, Miss Marie Daughdri1l, mezzo- soprano, and MT. Goode at second piano.
 The programme, which was brilliant, opened with the first movement of the Sonata, Op. 2, No. 3 Beethoven. In this Miss Daughdrill displayed fine analytical powers, adequate and sure technique and interpretative power of high order.
 The Paderewslxi Nocturne was played with poetic elegance; while the Schutt "Valse Mignonne' was graceful and pleasing.
 In the first part of the Prelude; Op. 2S, No. 15," there was much delicacy of shading and beautiful tone; the middle part in heavy chords was given with breadth and dignity, and showed splen- did control in chord playing
 The Air de Ballet (Moszkowski), was rendered with great briliancy and ami nation. By the Cradle was given in true lullaby style; the Prelude in A Flat" by Huss. was played with fine ClltCl dllQ llltliiBcDCG.
 In the closing number, "Capricoio Bril- iant," by Mendelssohn, Miss Daughdrill displayed a scintillant technique, a good bravoura style, excellent control, much ability in ensemble work, and gave a magnificent close to splendid pro- gramme.
 As pianiste Miss Daughdrill has talent of high order and a brilliant musical future Is predicted for her.
 In the aria, My Aunt, Poor Soul,'' from Der Freischutz," (Von Weber,, Miss Marie Daughdrill displayed a voice of pleasing quality, wide range and dra- matic power Miss Daughdrill has tenn perament and the coIorature passages in the aria were especially effective Her in depreciation was excellent
 The group of songs, 'I think (D'Hard- elot), "The Little Dutch Garden" (Maw- son-Marks), "A Gypsy Maiden" (Parker), showed gifts as a singer of lieder. The enunciation was particularly fine in the second; and the low notes in the latter were of real contralto quality.
 The programme was so excellent in it's entirety that no particular number can be called the best.
 The Misses Daughdrill are daughters of MT. and Mrs T. T. Daughdrill of Ma rion, and Judson college, as well as the home town, have reason to be proud of these highly gifted sisters.
 Miss Williams, as usual. played artistic accompaniments, while MT. Goode gave excellent support at second piano.
