Catholics in the NAVY.

OF the 1900 men comprising the
crews of the battleship fleet just re-
turned from the Orient 5000 are good
and loyal Catholics. Nor are these
upholders OF the flag Catholics in
name only or without the admira-
ton of their non-Catholic comrades.
An incident chronicled from Mar
settles illustrates this:
During the stay of some of our bat
tleships at Marseilles about 100 sail
ors went to mass, but we're derided
and criticised by some of the French
naval officers and other atheistic
Frenchmen. Returning to their ships
after mass these sailors complained
bitterly Of their treatment to their
officers.

the number Of 400, marched to mass
in a solid body the next day.-Rosary

RAND Spread of Plants.

It is marvellous how rapidly some
plants will spread themselves over
wide stretches Of land. The writer
was struck with the way in which the
yellow charlock took possession Of
the line when the Neon Valley Rail-
way was being made. The very next
spring after the entertainments were
thrown up their sides were clothed
with this rampant and conspicuous
c Sbifer. A line of yellow acBDss the
country marked in many places the
course of the railway. Peoples. too,
for some unknown reason, will oc-
casionally appear in strange and Won
derful profusion. The striking In
stance related by Lord Macauiey may
be quoted by way of illustration.
After the battle Of Landen, the
ground, he tells us, "during many
months was strewn with skulls and
bones of men and horses and with
fragments Of hats and shoes, saddles
and holsters. The next summer the
soil, fertilized by 10000 corpses,
broke forth into millions OF peoples
The traveller who, on the road from
St. Iron to Tirlemont, saw that vast
sheet Of red scarlet spreading from
Landen to Neerwinder, could hardly
help fancying that the figurative pre-
diction of the Hebrew prophet was
literally accomplished-that the earth
was disclosing her blood and refus-
ing to cover the stain. "-Longman's

Separate schools for tubercular

that children suffering from tubercu-

vides for the compulsory attendance
of all children between the ages Of

HIGH OLD TIME AND NEAR-RIOT OVER
GAME AT PORTLAND

A riot was almost precipitated at
Portland yesterday, when Manager
Brown withdrew his team from the
field in the middle of the eleventh
inning, in order to give the Indians
a chance to catch their train to
Spokane, so that they could begin
their Tacoma series this morning.
Although Manager Casey of the
Colts Immediately filed a protest
of the game, Umpire brennan had
to announce that the game was
called so that the Spokane team
could leave for Spokane on the ear
ly evening train. When the bleach
critics heard of the decision they
Immediately rushed onto the field
and Lou Nordyke, who had been
having some words with one of the
spectators, was the center of their
attack.
Although Jensen pitched good
ball the tribe had to play hard all
the time. Portland scored in the
first inning on Adams single, who
made a pretty steal to third. Port
land scored two runs in the second
inning but the Indians took brace
and scored a run in the second and
third innings. Here the fireworks
stopped for two innings, when Port
land forced another run over in the
sixth on Armbruster's two-base hit
and a pass to Station. The In
dams retaliated in the seventh and
eighth innings by making two runs
and here the score was tied and re-

good ball for the Dodds, but was
given weak support. Magee's home
