THE CELTIC.CHURCH.
Prof. kuno Meyer Lectures in London
On tho Subject.


Prof. Kuno Meyer a short time ago
delivered another of his series Of lee
tuers before a large audience in the
theater Of the University college, Lon
don. He said that in order to illus
trate some of his remarks in the last
discourse he would read one or two
passages from writings in the tenth
century about the life Of ST. Patrick.
The Saint with a number Of clerics
sat by 4 we'll, when there came two
maidens to wash their hands at the
we'll, who wondered at them as
though they were apparitions, and
asked them questions. Patrick said it
would be better to believe in God than
to ask them about themselves. Where
is your God?" the maiden inquired.
"Is He in the seas or the streams, on
earth, or above or below? Has He
sons and daughters and abundance Of
good things? Is He in youth or age? Is
He beautiful Pare His daughters dear
to the men Of the world?" Patrick re-
piled that their God was the God Of
all things. He inspired all things, He
surpassed all things. He had a Son
co o-eternal with Himself, but the Son
was not younger than the Father, and
the Father was not older than the Son.
And the maidens believed and were
baptized, and received the Sacrament,
and fell asleep in death. That story
bore evidences Of the highest antiqui-
ty. In the teaching Of Patrick it was
not so much the dogma as the ethics
surprised the Pagans, and their ac-
ceptance must have rendered the ad-
ninistration of the existing law diff
cult. There were many examples Of
this. Thus, the doctrine Of forgive
ness was particularly Objectionable to
the Kings and Britons.
After a time the Church took part
in the administration Of the law, and
penance was insisted on, as we'll as
fines. Some of these penalties were
mentioned by the lecturer-as, for in
stance, for eating horseflesh, for eat
ing meat partially devoured by dogs.
fish cast ashore which was putrid, and
SO on. But the making Of vows any
where except In the Church Of God
was declared punishable. Women were
forbidden to place their children on
the roof Of the house or in the oven
for the sake of their health-these

was inclined to think that these
little ones must be the fairies Of Ire
land, as l fell in love with them all
without being able to resist their
spells.
Most of them had very rosy cheeks
but the sweetest face I saw was al
most as white as tho dress of its tiny
owner. who Leaned upon a cr,,tch as

At Queenstown I had a talk with
a small girl about nine years of age

his numerous accomplishments. she
asked me it had ever been in Ire

Richard Rowen, $500 South SEVENTEEN

This address proved to be that OF a
fairly good boarding house. Richard
ROwen had been living there for three
weeks. Nothing was known about him
save that he was a well-dressed gentle
man with plenty Of leisure time and a
generous supply Of money.
The telegram had been sent collect
from Baltimore and was dated at .

explosion Il rad simply: Morris died

An attempt to trace the message back
TO it's sender for the purpose of notify
ing him of the death of the stranger
proved futile. The message had been
telephoned TO the telegraph company
from a drug store booth.
Detective Jarvis was present at the
administering Of the third degree TO the
three anarchists who had confessed to
the crime. This was given with a
vague hope OF obtaining some clue to

anarchists, who were all Immediately

EF the excitement that had ragged
over the explosion at the Cosmo-
politan National Bank was great it
seemed nothing compared 10 that
which now arose.
The Thirty-fourth National was a
new bank 1t had been especially built
for the accommodation Of people living
in the well-to-Go neighborhood. 1t held
the deposits of hundreds Of women, be-
sides the large moneys Of men who pa
tronized Il for the purpose Of spreading
their funds about a little.
The building was known as one of
the finest specimens Of architecture in
the city. While not Of enormous size,
1t was unusually handsome within and
without an adOrnment to a street
which, but a little way farther on, was
made up of the residences Of the
wealthy.
In the immediate vicinity are a num-
Der of large apartment houses. They
were filled with families only a little
less comfortably rich than those liv-
ing BEYOND them
And. directly opposite, it, stood the
new Seneca Hotel, 1t had been built
but a few months. and was filled to
capacity.
AS has been mentioned, the Forty
first precinct station house was but q
stones throw away. This street, al
that point and down toward the center
of the city. IS lined with the solid
blocks of modest little homes which, 20
a stranger. are the most striking fea-
ture Of Philadelphia
1t was from an these sources OF pos
sible exodus that the crowd began &c
pour forth almost before the frightened
men from the station had reached the
street.
AS the men approached the bank
building a great mass Of stone and ce-
ment came crashing down over th'
opening that had first shown In tn,

whole building would fall in another
