The remains of Frank Hogan, who
died at Douglas, Ariz., last week,

interment. Mr.. Hogan was born in
Jeffersonville thirty years ago, and
grew to manhood in that town. He

at the car works until three years
ago, when he was compelled TO go
West in hope of restoring his failing

him, and he obtained employment

up as a protection against witches.
Many houses in the West End of
London had one of these emblems
of superstition on the threshold,
and in Monmouth street there were
seventeen in 1913 and seven so late
as 1885. Lord Nelson had n horse
shoe nailed to the mast of his ship
Victory and our forefathers loved
to nail one on their house door.
st. Dunstan was an Irishman, not
an Englishman. as the Britishers
now claim. He was recognized as
the best blacksmith in what was
then the kingdom of Kerry. He had
his forge on the Bay of Dingle, and
people from all over Ireland came to
have their horses shod and TO drink
in wisdom from the kerry Cow
The legend has it that the devil was

st. Dunstan lie asked the Dingle
blacksmith to shoe his single hoof,
knowing who his customer was,
st. Dunstan tied him tightly to the
wall and proceeded with his job, but
purposely put the devil into so much
pain that he roared for mercy. II
was not until he promised that he
would never again enter n place
where he saw a horseshoe displayed
that st. Dunstan would release his
captive.

RABBITS ADVICE.
Tells Christians To Mind
Strictly to Their Own
Affairs.

Christian attempts at evangelism
among the Jews were severely crit
icized last Saturday in Chicago by
Rabbi Tobias Schanfarber. In his
address he mentioned the recent in
corporation of the Chicago Gospel
Mission to the Jews, the avowed
purpose of which is to convert He
brews on a larger scale than ever
before attempted. His point seems
to be well taken. He said in part:
ut would rebound much more to
the glory of the church if it first
would convert it's own unchristian
Christians to Christianity. The jew
is by no means perfect IN morsfffty,
but certainly statistics show that
proportionately he has fewer Grim
inals than has Christianity. 1t is
greatly TO be regretted that the
principal of one of our public
schools is one of the incorporators
of the Chicago Gospel Mission to
the Jews. 1t is just barely possible
that a public school teacher who is
eager for the soul of the jew will
allow that bias to influence him in
his attitude toward the children of
his school.
"The jew has all he can attend TO
if he will convert his own people 10
Judaism, and the Christian has all
that he can attend to if he will con-
vert his own people to Christianity.
Therefore we say to the Christian,
convert your own and let Jews
alone"

mass in it from October, 1897, until
March, 1895. Meanwhile he had
selected a site for future operations
at Eighteenth and Magnolia avenue.
The frame church was dedicated in
March, zoos. The late Monsignor
Bouchet officiated at the dedication
and the sermon was preached by
the Very Rev. Father Rock. The
little parish grew apace, and in 1899
the parochial school was opened
with forty-fivc pupils. Year by year
the families multiplied; more Cath
Ole families moved in until at pres
ent Father Weiss numbers $50
families on his rolls, and has l6S
pupils taught by three Ursuline Sis
tiers in his school.
Such a splendid growth in the con-
gregation made a larger church
necessary, and several months ago
Father Weiss engaged an architect
to draw plans for the new edificc.
The cornerstone will be laid tomor-
row and the work will be pushed
rapidly, because Father Weiss ex-
poets to have his church dedicated
about Easter. The interior embell-
ishments will come later, and when
completed it will be one of the
handsomest church edifices in the
diocese.
The Concordia Singing Society
will assist at the exercises tomor-
row and the Knights of st. John
have been invited TO attend in full
uniform.

The cornerstone of the new

Vicar General and Administrators of

The estimated cost is $4,000. The
Rev. Father George Weiss, pastor
of st. Georges, has been wonder
fully successful in his work.
In 1897 the late Bishop McCloskey
assigned to Father Weiss the task
of organizing parish in the North
End of Marydale. The young pas

he found only twelve Catholic fam
lilies in his parish at that time. He

The officers of the Louisville police
force are not only demoralized but
desperate. They seem to be utterly
lacking in. tact, and the discipline of
the subordinates amounts to moth
ing. Burglaries go unchecked. Pick
pockets are working in churches,
and a few days ago a lady relative
of a man prominently connected
with the police department had her
purse stolen while lIneeling in de-
votion in church adjacent TO her
home. The tactics of Foster, Luch-
singer and Pfau have embroidered
the subordinate members of the de-
partment to make spectacles of
themselves.
Yet the administration and its
organs say the police and firemen
are out of politics. That is as true
as anything else that ever appears
in the Post. During the week half
n dozen fire Captains have been re-
duced and shifted TO other scenes.
Why? Because they refused to sup
port Grinstead and to get others to
support him they have been reduced
to the ranks. That is a sample of
reform. Againl The police are out
of politics. Only a few nights ago

FAITHFUL SERVANT
OF God and Man Called

James L. Campbell, for more than
twenty-five years President of the
Particular Council of the st. Vincent
de Paul Society of this city, died at
his home, 1923 West Jefferson street,
at 5:15 o'clock Sunday morning. The
news was flashed over the city in
less time than it takes to tell it, and
in every parish that has confer
ence of the st. Vincent de Paul
Society prayers were offered at all
the masses for the reposc OF his
soul. Mr.. Campbell was held in high
esteem and all day and night Sun
day and Monday his residence was
visited by constant stream of WIS.,
itors.
Mr.. Campbell was born in Louis
Vile in 1897 and never lived any
where else and had never been en-
ployed by but one firm. When he
was seventeen years old he was
given employment by the wholesale
drug firm OF II. A. Robinson Com

that firm was merged with the Rob

LITTLE LAPSE
OF Memory Cause Local
irishnen to Refresh
Others.

On Tuesday of last week the
Courier-Journal told in alleged de-
tail the story of the sale of the
Norvin Green homestead; at Second
street and broadway. 1t is possible
that some part of the Courier
Journals story Is true, but it is only
possibility. For instance it says:
''Whitestone,. the great English
architect, who built the Calf House
and other magnificent Louisville
residences, constructed the Green
house"
The elder citizens of Louisville
laughed when they read that story,
and wandered what inexcusablc
break the .Courier-Journal would
make next.
Henry milestone was born at
Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. He was
intensely an Irish Nationalist in
feeling. He built the Gait House,
the Green house, the Henry New
comb house, now occupied by she
Xaverian Brothers, the Victor New
comb house on Fourth street. south
of Oak, and other public and private
homes. He built no cheap jobs.

One night some years ago there
was an English banquet in Louis

toasted Mr.. milestone as an Eng

who was then prominent in local
affairs, called DIR. Palmer to task.
Next day Mr.. Palmer called on Mr..
milestone to ask if he were not an
Englishman.

Possibly the Courier-Journal has

There is, no need for rancor or i'll

that YOU are an American citizen

You must remember, too, that the

NEED NEW DIocEsEs.

As a result of the first plenary
council of the Roman Catholic
Council in Canada proposals have
been made to the Vatican for the
creation of several new dioceses. es-
pecially in two new provinces, in
Guiding almost certainly a diocese
administered from Reginia. where a
Bishop would reside. Some sub
divisions of the dioceses of eastern
provinces is also suggested: and if
this redistribution took place. the
present Diocese of ottawa would
probably be split up into two do
ceses, the provincial border being
taken by the ecclesiastical boundary.
such division being the more
likely in consequences of the claims

tributing copies of the Louisville

way of increasing insurance rates?

Grinstead is courteous gentleman,

He is the type of man the machine
has picked out, groomcd and put

has always followed the lines OF
least resistance, simply getting in
the swim and drifting with the cur
rent. He has never breathed any
political atmosphere except the at
mosphere of machine politics. He Is
parl of the machine, and he EN-,
