July Everybody's. After the produc-
tions are made. it costs from $500 TO
$1,000 a night to present the play.
Knowing personally most of the
men who present these plays, | can
assure you that the majority of them
think no more of dollar than of a

Moreover. knowing playwrights.
stage managers. and a good many of
the best actors, assure you they are
doing the best they can. They realize
the seriousness of their work, and it
is with infinite toll and with fear
and trembling that they approach the
stage And this is the difference be-
tween them and the critics.

AFTER BIG COLLEGES
[srecial DO The Sentinel. ]

New York. June 20" Harvard.
Princeton and Yale are undermining

clared Bishop James a. McFaul. of
Trenton, n. j.. in addressing a group
of young men who had just received
their bachelor of arts degrees at the
commencement of St Francis Nav
ier's college Monday night.
IF the Catholics who are sending
their sons to these universities knew
of the rascality, immortality and dis
respect for womankind that are be-
ing taught in these institutions. they
would tear down the buildings"
This was part of the final address
to the graduates given by the prelate,
who continued to point out the con-
trast between the teaching in Cath
olic colleges and the leading unfversi-
ties of the country.
There are families in this coun-
try that are sacrificing their Catholic
faith and their church-taught NOR
ality in their fanatic and lunatic de-
sire to get into society. That's why
they send their sons to Harvard.

there are such commandments as
Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt

Catholic church can stem these evils.
THE Cathonc church is here to-
day to cure the present evils. Our
mission is to uproot Socialism, to de-
stroy divorce and teach Christianity.
The salvation of the republic depends
on Christian teaching.
IF ever our country or its prin-
ciples are in danger, the Catholic
church viii be its salvation"
The bishop took for his topic, The
Apostolate of the Laity" and advised
the young men who received their
sheepskins TO go forth as apostles of
the faith among the laity The teach

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
Insurgents Win.

Washington, April This was a
bad day for the republican oraniza-
ton of the house. BY a coalition be-
tween some republican insurgents and
democrats, the ways and means COM
mittee was bowled over and the advo-
Gates of free crude oil and its pro-
ducts won a victory when an amend
ment by Mr. Norris of Nebraska, plac-
ing an Insignificant duty of one per
centum ad valorem on those articles
was adopted by a substantial major
ity. The decision of the chairman
that amendments could not be offered
to the oil schedule other than the one
covered by the special rule of last
Monday which provided for the re-
moval of the countervailing duty on
valorem duty of rs per cent, was
overturned. and not even a fervid APP
peal by the speaker in an endeayor
to rally the republican forces, was
sufficient to stem the tide avowedly
against the Standard Oil company.
BY practically unanimous vote, the
countervailing duty went out. On all
other propositions the committee was
sustained. The barley schedule ran
the gauntlet without a change. Tea
and coffee were placed on the free
list. and the duty on barytes was IN
creased from Is cents a ton to Sl.50
per ton.

purpose is to procure information in

hand, Mr. Clay is preparing to show
that the selling price of sugar in
Hamburg and London is 1910 per
hundred compared with $4.96 in New
York. and that the difference is due
to the existing tariff of $1.95 per
hundred. Senators favoring this po-
sition will make an effort to show
that beet sugar production has not
been successful in this country.
