Crawford's Conversion.

"Veritas," in the Standard and
Times of Philadelphia, vouches for the
accuracy of the following statement
regarding F. Marion Crawford's con-
version to Catholicity: while in In
dia the distinguished novelist began to
study Buddhism, and one day, in the
middle of his study, he grew convinced
that he had at length found the true
church-and that was the Catholic
Church. That same evening found
him with the Jesuit Fathers commenc-
ing ten days retreat, according "a
the method prescribed by st. Igna-
tius."

Who talks about altering and med
ding with the Constitution? The con-
stitutional party-the great constitu-
tional party!-(Laughter.) AS long as
the Constitution gave rank and posses >
sion and power it was not to be inter-
fered with; as long as it secured even
their sports from intrusion and made
interference with them crime; as
long as the Constitution enforced roy
alties and ground rents, and fees and
premiums, and fines, and all the black
retinue of exaction; as long as it
showered writs, and summonses, AMI
injunctions, and distresses, and war;
rants to enforce them, then the Con-
stitution was inviolate. 1t was sacred;
1t was something that was put in the
same category as religion, that no
man ought to touch, and something
that the chivalry of the nation ought
to range in defense of. But the mo-
ment the Constitution looks round, the
moment the Constitution begins to dis
cover that there are millions of peo-
Pile outside the park gates who need
attention-(hear,h hear)-then the Con-
stitution is to be torn to pieces.

The CampbelIites.

The sect known as "The Disciples of
bellites, has had a convention or gath
ering in the city of Pittsburg and from
the ado made over 1t in the press dis
patches one might conclude it was the
greatest in the worlds history-"50,0O0
delegates and visitors" were said to be
present. Quite goodly number, but
then old st. Peters in Rome could
comfortably contain them, says the
Catholic Journal of the New South.
This sect claims as it's founder Alex
ander Campbell, an Irishman Presby-
terian originally, who separated from
the Synod of Ulster, and coming to
this country, located in Virginia. He
had himself immersed and started
new sect, which has spread through
Ohio, Kentucky and some of the west
ern states. Hc is better known on ac-
count of his famous controversy with
Archbishop Purcell Of Cincinnati,
which years ago was a widely read
book. Campbell claimed his religion
to be the only simon pure one based
on the Bible. He held some rather
peculiar doctrines-"grace is the
preaching of the Gospel and not an
internal operation Of the Holy Ghost"
He would not allow the use of the
words original sin but held to baptism
by immersion only, and yet is dis
owned by Baptists.
He was very hostile to everything
Catholic and his followers have to a
large extent inherited that antipathy.
Their clergy cling to the Bible and
Bible only with tenacity and look upon
the Catholic Church as the Bibles
greatest enemy. How they can do that
in the face of what is taught in many
modern pulpits Is hard to understand.

THE COUP THAT FAILED.

You ask me, my dear duchess,
to d recount the circumstances
which so Unexpectedly prevented
our noble prince from regaining
the@ throne of France. You have
heard how Louis repaired to Paris
at the instigation of his loyal COM
panions, ready to partake in that
movement which was to restore to
our country her royal lineage and
wrest it's rule from those imbecile
republicans. And then-all was in
readiness for him to place himself
at the head of his adherents. And
he-disappeared!
i Chow can / recount, my dear
duchess, the event which pre-
vented Louis carrying out the
plan? 1t was not indecision. He
was foiled by an episode as un-
expected as it was horrible. And
by a miserable barber who appar-
emily recognized the quiet gentle
man he was called upon to shave,
and effectively spoiled our coup.
Miserable miscreant! France
weeps because of him.
Everything that could be fore
seen had been prepared for. The
labor strike had paralyzed the cap
ital. The electricians, acting the
part of strikers, cut the wires.
Paris was isolated from the world.
Our royal adherents had rallied at
the strategical points, all armed.
At the critical moment, when our
Louis devoted form should be seen
riding through the streets upon his
gallant charger, his eagle eye
flashing, his mustaches magnIai-
Gently curled, a concerted move
ment was to be made against the
government offices and the cham
Der of deputies. The president was
to be imprisoned, five generals
were to proclaim the restoration of
the kingdom; Paris would have
been ours, and, with Paris, France.
"And where was our Louis? For
three days he had been secreted
upon the Avenue Montmarte. There
he kept in communication with the
leaders of the movement.
"Only three persons knew his
whereabouts, myself, Henri and
Auguste. The government was not
even suspicious that he had left
Switzerland And to think that we
were foiled, our plans overthrow
by this miserable barber!
ALAS, my duchess, even prince
is not exempt from the necessities
of life. He must eat. He must
drink. He. needs to sleep. And,
horrible to mention, he must be
shaved. Our Louis had not dared
to intrust himself even to his own
valet, so urgent was the need for
|precaution. And, though we waited

But narrow viewpoint Is not
the only cause for the falling off
|of repopulation among the SO
called upper classes" Many
women shun the personal de.
privations incidental to maternity
Then again, economic conditions
are, | believe, a powerful factor in
race suicide" A child means an
added and constantly increasing
draught upon the family purse;
and In many cases parentage is
avoided on that ground. j.,
Lastly, there area few men and
women who have so high an ideal
of the duties, difficulties and re-
sponsibilities of parenthood that
they avoid it on that account.
Needless to say, they are the very
people best adapted to become
parents.
1t Is my own conviction that the
woman who does not desire to be.
come mother should not be ad
vised to become mother, simply
because she would not make a
good mother. An unwelcome child
is handicapped before birth, and
often feels the curse of parental
aversion all through his life.
To pursuade the deliberately
childless woman to become q
mother would be impossible; and,
even IL not impossible, would be
unwise
Time will bring better economic
conditions, simpler habits, wider,
nobler ideals. And in that day the
sacred act of maternity will again
become the ambition Of women,
not their task"
