Improved Conditions of Ireland.

David Power of Springfield, Mass,
recently visited his old home in Ireland,
and tells the Springfield Republican that
he found conditions greatly improved
there. He says:
THE transformation since 1903 is
nothing short of marvellous. 1t will be
remembered that the land act enabled
the tenants to borrow the money neces
sary to buy the land they occupied at a
nominal rate of interest from the gov
ernment. This act has been the means
of the salvation of Ireland, where the
tenants had no inducement to improve
the land and improve their own position
because of the rents which were always
raised by the land owner in proportion
to Improvements made by. the tenant,
the people of the soil now have the
necessary money and security to buy
land and improve it. Barns, stables,
and other improvements, are being
erected on the farms, and the farmers
are getting really quite prosperous
The chances are good for anyone in
Ireland who has energy in him. Of
course lazy man or one who is not
ambitious or industrious will not make
a success there any more than he will
anywhere else. But man who will
work hard and save has as good a
chance in Erin as he would in the new
world"

Patron Feast of St. Mary'S
Congregation.

The eighth of September marked a
day of solemn rejoicing at st Mary's
Catholic Church, it being the feast of
the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, under whose patronage St.
Mary's Congregation is placed.
At the early Masses over $50 members
received Holy Communion. Solemn
High Mass was celebrated at ten
a. IN. The celebrant was Father A.
Bierstner of Highland; Father John
Field of Fennimore acted as deacon of
the Mass; Father Eicher of Seymour, as
sub deacon; and Father Weyer, the
pastor, as master of ceremonies.
The sermon delivered by FIR. Field
was one which held the closest attention
of everyone present. He used as his
| text the beautiful salutation to the Vir-
gin with which the church greets her
on this day at the Offertory: Blessed
art thou o Virgin Mary, who didst
didst bear the Creator of all things, and
forever remainest virgin" FIR. Field
spoke of her power and influence at the
throne of her Divine Son, and he ad-
monished his hearers to have recourse to
her powerful intercession. After High
Mass, Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment was given.
! The affairs were elabOrately decorated
with choice flowers and ferns; perenni-
al phlox, asters and cosmas being used
in profusion. The singing rendered by
the Sisters and their pupils was in ac-
cord with the solemnity of the services.
ST. Mary's Congregation can justly
pride itself in the manner in which the
festal days of the Church are observed
in this parish. For it is special aim
of all who are intimately connected
with the work, to have the ceremonies
performed with all of the splendor and
solemnity which the Catholic Church
| affords

Enduring Street Improvement.

The great rainstorm of Monday night
left its mark in great burrows plowed in
the stone covered streets of Mineral
Point, and added to the already conclu-
sive evidence that only the most per-
mant kind of street work should be
employed on our steep grades.
On Tuesday w. E. Reach of Chicago,
who is interested in the sale and proper
use of taryia, the new road making ma
terial which is growing i'll popular
favor, was in town with view of Sc
curing its Introduction into Mineral
Point. At a meeting of members of the
council he explained the advantage of a
road properly constructed with tarvia
and macadam. He estimated that in
this city the cost would not exceed one
dollar per line foot for the entire width
of High street; or dividing the cost by
two, one dollar andla half per line foot
for each side of the street. For resi-
dence streets the cost would not exceed
two dollars per line foot for the full
width of the street.
1t is not contemplated that any exten-
sive street improvements be made this
fall; but it is hoped that some wise plan
be adopted for the throughough i'm
provement of High street, and that it
will be put into practice next year.
