"The Fraudulent Ex-Priest."
RY w. MAIELLA GAVIN.

ND1 w. MAJELLA OANlN,l
To the Editor-Kindly allow me space
in your valued paper, which is doing so
much for our grand faith here in Amer
lea, to call attention to that hair
Drained fellow Dulaney, who poses for
an ex-priest. My purpose for doing so
is twofold. First, because 1 wish to ex-
pose this so-called ex-priest, and, Sec
ond, to warn our non-Catholic
friends against his deceptive ways, AS
far as 1 can see, his whole life is found
ed on fraud.
For several years past this fellow
Dulaney has been going about the
country claiming to be an ex-priest
Every little while he keeps bobbing up
and down. For a moment we see him
and another moment he is lost to view,
Now let me say right here that this
man is no priest. Thank God he never
knelt before a bishop to receive that
awful power to loose or to bind which
is given to priests. Thank God again
that his true character was revealed
While at Epiphany College.
In my opinion, the poor delinquent
may not realize what fool he is as
an ex-priest in order to pick up a
scanty likelihood. II so, then let me
say, Mr.. Dulaney, you are indeed bad
ly off. This eX-priest claims to have
studied in Rome for fourteen years. He
lies. / doubt if he was ever in Rome.
How is it, Mr.. Dulaney, that it is not
fourteen years since you were expelled
from Epiphany?
Mr.. Dulaney, you are known. You
have been pointed out by both Cath
olic and Protestant as a wolf in sleeps
clothing. Every place you have ap-
peared you have belittled yourself.
IL
the places where you have before ap-
peared, and relate to them the same
stories which you have done before?
Not safely so. Not without being made
extremely uncomfortable You have
deceived all those to whom you have
ever spoken. You have demonstrated
to what a degree of degeneracy one
such as you can descend. You have de-
liberately practiced deception, endeav-
oring, as you thought, to bring dis,
grace on the Catholic priesthood and
upon that noble institution, the Cath
olic Church. But you have failed; and
faded most miserably. Everywhere
yoU are branded as an INSCRIPTIONS
liar. Your whole history of college
days might be inserted in this short
article Gf you have any), and in hu-
initiation 1 have withheld SUCH / do
not consider you good enough to be
made the subject of my writing. My
object, as stated above, is to warn our
well-meaning non-Catholic friends

Lessons of the Moon.

A single halo around the moon indi-
Gates storm; a double halo means
boisterous weather. If the moon be
bright and clear when three days old
fine weather is promised. A clear moon
means rain. If the moon changes with
the wind in the east, then shall we have
bad weather. If the moon looks high.
cold weather may be expected; if the
moon looks low, warm weather is prom
ised. When the moon is visible in the
day time, then we may expect cool
days. If the new moon appear with it's
points upward, the month will be dry;
If the points are downward, more or
less rain may be expected during the
next three weeks. When the points of
the crescent of the new moon are very
clairly visible, frost may be looked for
The new moon on her back always por-
tends wet weather.

A Remarkable canversion.

Protestant university circles in Ger
many have just been convulsed by the
news of the conversion to Catholicity
of one of their most distinguished pro-
fessors, DR.. Albert de Rouville, member
of the Faculty of Philosophy of the
Protestant University of Halle, has
passed over to the Catholic Church aft
er having made his solemn abju-Ssion
of Professionalism. He is about to pub
ish a book which will make sensation,
to be entitled Return to the Holy
Church." in which he will publicly
avow the motives which brought about
his change Of religion, the subtitle
being Experiences and Beliefs of
Convert" In one of the first chapters
he shows that that which first shook
his belief in Professionalism was, of all
things, Harnack,s book, 1.-The Essence
of Christianity" which made such
noise in its time. The other chapters
of Professor Rouvilies book are devot-
ed to studies of the distinctive doc
trines of the Catholic Church, and the
attitude of a convert to her teachings.
Professor Rouville's conversion is all
the more remarkable as such an event
is a rare one in Germany amongst
Protestant professors or "intellectuals," I"
who for the most part are Rationalists
of the most Rationalistic type.

Wild Animals.

1t is a remarkable fact that, in spite
of the opening out of the country by
railways and roads and the clearing of
jungle tracts, the number of persons
killed by wild animals in British India
does not show any decrease; in fact, last
year, we gather from the Lancet, the
figures rose to 2,166, an actual increase
of 200 in comparison with the deaths in
1907. In Bengal tigers killed 100 more
persons, while in the central provinces
and Berar the increase was Ga In the
Chanda district one tiger alone killed
10 people before it was shot, while pam
theirs and bears accounted for 95-prac-
tically double the total of the preceding
year In the United provinces the NOR
tality was 1874. against 159. As to the
deaths from snake bite, the decrease
was very satisfactory, the numbers
falling from 21,419, to 1878. This total
was the lowest since 1897.

The True santa Claus.

The history of Santa Claus-a curious
mixture OF truth and fable-goes back
into the ancient time. Centuries ago a
child was born in Asia Minor who re-
ceived the name of Nicholas. His par-
ents were wealthy and of high rank.
and desiring to express their gratitude
to God for the birth of their son. thev

and thoughtful, and while yet young

their great wealth.
He considered the riches a sacred
trust; he fed the hungry, clothed tbe
destitute, and performed all kinds of
good deeds as secretly as possible.
AS a priest he was greatly beloved;
as bishop he continued his benevo-
lence. After his death the church can
on1zed him, and he became one of the
greatest patron saints, being reyered as
the helper of the poor, the protector of
the weak, and as the especial patron OF
little children, who were taught to he

him.

Jewels for the King.


When at the humble manger
We kneel and fervent pray,
Before the Infant Jesus,
What offerings can we lay?
We cannot, like the Magi,
Bring gold and perfumes rare,
And nothing less seems worthy
To lay before Him there.
But cen the very poorest,
May bring a priceless gem,
A jewel meet for wearing
Within His diadem.
That He thought not too costly
With greater price to pay,
He lived and died to win it,
Our hearts he asks today.
Hearts that are young and tender
Are rare and matchless pearls,
The trusting hearts of children.
The pure young hearts of girls.
Hearts brave, and strong and hopeful
Are emeralds, deepest green;
And true hearts. tried and faithful,
The sapphire's azure sheen.
And wavering hearts that falter,
Opals of changing glow,
And hearts by sin unsullied,
The mOonstone's lucent snow.
Hearts contrite and repentant
Are amethyst's purple hue,
Like violets turned to crystal,
Yet 'bathed in cleansing dew.
And sorrowing hearts are rubles,
The crimson of His own.
think they'll shine the brightest,
Blood red, around His throne:
And fiery hearts that struggled
And conquered in the fight,
Clean with a ten-fold splendor,
Great diamonds flashing light.

The SoIace of Confession.

The following beautiful thoughts are
from discourse by the illustrious con-
vert, Cardinal Newman:
How many are the souls in distress,
anxiety or loneliness, where the one
need is to find a being to whom they
can pour out their feelings unheard by
the world. Tell them out they must.
They cannot tell them out to those
whom they see every hour; they want
to tell them and not to tell them. And
they want to tell out and yet be as if
they were not told; they wish to tell
them, yet are not strong to despise
them; they wish to tell them to one
who can at once ADVISE and sympathize
with them; they wish to relieve them
selves of a load in order to gain
solace; to receive the assurance that
one to whom they can betake them
selves if necessary, from time TO time,
while they are in the world
How many a Protestant heart
would leap at the news of such
benefit, putting aside all ideas of sac
ramental ordinances altogether. If
there is heavenly idea in the Catho-
lie Church-looking at is simply as
an idea-surely next after the Blessed
Sacrament, confession is SUCH And
such it is ever found, in fact; the very
act of kneeling, the low and contrite
voice. the sign of the cross, hanging.
so to say, over the head bowed low
and the words of peace and blessing,
declare it. Oh, what a soothing charm
is there which the world can neither
give nor take away! Oh, what a pierre
ing, heart-subduing tranquility, pro-
Voking tears of joy. is poured almost
substantially and physically upon the
soul-the oil of gladness, as the Scrip
ture calls it-when the patient at
length rises. his God reconciled to him
his sins rolled away forever! That is
confession as it is in fact, as those
who bear witness to it know by expe-
rience"

a Hypocrite,

1t would seem that Ferrer of BARGE
Iona fame, the quondam hero and darl-
ing of the English radical press, was a
particularly repulSiYe specimen of the
odious tribe of religious hypocrites
Wonder has been expressed how he
contriYed to get such a hold on the
pious French lady, Nine. Meunier that
when she was dying she left him the
considerable fortune which enabled him
to open his lay schools. 1t has now be-
come clear that the lady, who made
Ferrer's acquaintance as a teacher of
Spanish. had her charitable and relig-
1ous sentiments played upon by that
willy rogue She told M. Cesar Coppo-
la, her only heir-at-law, that she in
tended to found a model asylum for
children at Barcelona-one, there can
be no doubt, in every way in conson-
ance with her Christian sentiments
and that it was her former Spanish
teacher, Ferrer, who had inspired her
with the noble idea. Subsequently
there came addressed to her at Milan.
where she was staying, a large box,
sent from Barcelona. On its being
opened it was found to contain a very
beautiful statue of the Madonna, with
the Infant Jesus, the robes of rich
StuffS, and on the head silver crown,
and the donor was Ferrer. Nine. Meu-
nier was delighted with the gift, and it's
reception caused her to further modify
her will in Ferrer's favor Thus the
enemy of God and Gods church made
statue of His Mother the means of
providing him with funds for carrying
out his warfare against both, playing
upon the pious feelings of the lady,
whom he had doubtless befooled with
the tongue and pen of the arrant hypo-
crite-a vile worthy of Satan himself.
But justice overlook Ferrer before yery
long. Though the mills of God grind
slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;
though with patience He stand wanting,
