Latinizing the United States.

Recently published statistics Of the
Italian department of immigration
show very clearly that, within one
century, if present conditions continue,
the United States will be completely
latinized. Now it so happens that we
are fond of referring to the Latin ma
tions as decadent. It would seem,
however, that the statistics reverse
this statement. The average number
of babies for every thousand Amer
lean mothers during 1909 was twenty.
one; the average number Of every
thousand Spanish mothers was 1923;
the average number for every thou.
sand Italian mothers was IT'S. There
is surely food for serious thought in
these startling figures III

In MoIokaI.

The eyes of the world are again
turned to Molokai, where the hero.
priest Damien lived, labored and died,
from the fact that United States sur
geons and scientists are hoping to
discover a cure for that dreadest of
ell diseases, leprosy, now that they
have been able, though with difficulty,
to cultivate the bacillus of the dis.
case, writes a correspondent in the
Catholic Columbian.
A letter reaches my desk from that
far off islet in which Major Dutton-
better known as Brother Joseph,
says: Here at the United States
ieprosarium and at Kiliki, near Hon.
olulu, great things are being done by
the marine service doctors. A vac.
cine is being tried and I am thinking
that within a year the looked-for cure
may be found. The patients or sub
jects were seven of our young lads
from this home-Kalawas."

REMARKABLE GROWTH
Of cathoIicity in Chicago Not Sur
passed by Any City in the World.

A Chicago paper thus comments on
the wonderful growth of Catholioity in
that city in the past Is years:
No other Catholic city in the world
ever rose from single parish with a
hundred communicates lost In a prim-
eval wilderness to an archdiocese Of
million souls in rs years. In this
achievement the city stands alone.
In the Catholic church of Chicago
is found striking demonstration that
the words Of the Master have been
Needed and that the gospel has been
preached to "all nations"

Catholics reside in their hundreds of
thousands of prosperous homes, with
their own churches, their own priests.
their own parochial schools, their own
sisterhoods, hospitals, asylums and

IRISH SOLDIER
Receives Belated Reward for Gallant
Services.

A former Irish soldier, Daniel Nc
Cole of Bristol, Pa, has just received
from the English government silver
medal and pension of a shilling a
day In recognition of his services as
gunner in the Bengal artillery during
the famous siege of Lucknow.
Both of these McCole could have
! had 80 years ago, but he made no ef-
fort to obtain them until recently. Be-
sides having participated in one of the
most narrowing sieges In the history
OF modern warfare, McCole, who is
now 80 years old, is veteran of our
civil war, having fought in the 96th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, receiving a
. wound at Fredericksburg. He is a
2ensioner of the United States.
The medallion of the medal is of
solid silver. The diverse bears a
! profile of the girl Queen Victoria, with
the words "Victoria Regina" on the
! reverse are shown Brittania standing
by the British lion, with the words
india 1s57-1S5S." Around the edge
are stamped the words Daniel Nc.
Cole, Gunner, Bengal Artillery" The
medallion is suspended from a clasp
embossed Lucknow"
McCole was born in County Done
gal, Ireland, in February, 1884. He is
bent beneath the weight of years, but
talks Interestingly of the awful siege.
The scene at Cawnpore was indescrib.
/, able. He said: "What we saw in the
town cannot be described. Fifty-three
years have passed since then, but the
horror Of it all has not worn off. In
F; one building alone we saw the bodies
Of 800 English men, women and chill
dren."
After the capture of Lucknow Nc
Cole returned to Ireland, and then
came to the United States and entered
the northern army at the outbreak of
the war.

SOCIALISM

How It Tends to Take Away Instead
of to Restore Individual Rights.
"There is a tendency these days to
preach doctrine that would obliter-
ate individuality and make all rush to
the state for help in all things" said
Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis in a
recent sermon. Unfortunately, some
labor men are engaged in disseminate.
ing this doctrine. They want to make
the state into a father whose will
would be absolute.
II believe the working people should
have the protection of the state
against unscrupulous capitalism. But,
remember, my friends, there are GER
tain rights of the individual that the
state cannot take over. One of them
is the right of the individual to con-
troll himself. The individual abhors
the idea of being the slave of any
state.
1--WE have the right to preserve our
homes from state control. We have
the right to be free and not to be-
come tenants of a soulless state. We
utterly abhor the doctrine that the
little children who bless our homes
shall be wards Of the state-common
property.
"The idea of common parentage ia
not only the end of order but the end
OF civilization itself. 1t appears that
when some men become discOntented
or unable to provide for their fami-
lies, they go to the nearest saloon and,
under the spell Of beer mug and wine
glass, create philosophy Of class
hatred.

the wine glass are enemies of society.

encyclicals, who gave those advanced

CARDINAL GIBBONS

Says Church Unity is an End Which
Cannot be Too Strongly Sought.
Commenting on the resolution adopt
ed at the recent triennial convention
of the Episcopal church, which advo-
Gated the uniting of all churches, the
Cardinal said:
II wish to allude to the triennial
convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal church, which was held recently
in Cincinnati At the convention the
members adopted resolutions making
for the unity. and redemption of all
Christendom My brethren, we praise
the members of that church for their
action, because 1t reflects honor on
their heads and hearts, and I join
with them in praying .ssat the day may
be hastened when Christ's words that
there shall be one fold and one shep.
herd will be fulfilled.
"Unity of faith is a most splendid
evidence of the mission of our divine
Savior, and we should have unity OF
faith so that all ought to be bound
together by the one tie of faith and
be subservient to one shepherd-God
"If there is to be unity Of faith there
must be one head, one leader over all
churches, who will guide the faithful
in the path of righteousness. There
cannot be unity of faith, however, If
there is to be more than one head
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
never intended that there should be
many churches, because in the Holy
Writ He always said in speaking OF
the church, one shepherd and one fold
The church is compared to vine and
our divine Lord says that If any OF
it's branches are cut off they shall
die"

right, Miss Henrietta Dustin, member
of wealthy family Of Boston, has
been invested with the habit of the
Carmelite order by Bishop O'Connell
at the Carmelite Convent, Hyde and
Lombard streets. Miss Dustin, who
is the first woman to be received into
the order in San Francisco, took up
the religious name of Sister Theresa.
About fifty priests were present to
see Sister Theresa received into the
order.

London, Dec. 14.-ghe results in
the general elections announced to-
night leave the position of the rival
parties unchanged.
Governmental coalition: Liberals
22S, Nationalists 81, Independent Ma
tionalists 9, Laborites 80, total 331.
Opposition: Unionists 251.
Coalition majority 80.
A further sign of the growing dis
content among the Unionists over Mr..
Balfour's management of the cam
paign, which started in an editorial
in the Morning Post, was noticeable
in speech made by Austen Cham
berlain at Buxton tonight. He said it
was no part of the original plan that
tariff reform should be submitted to a
referendum. There were great incon-
veniences and objections connected
with putting a budget to popular vote.
He would not himself have made such
proposal.
Many Unlonists, realizing there is
no hope of bettering their position in
this election, favor a policy of nego-
tiation. Sir Edward Clarke said the
essential result of this balanced elec-
tion was that there must be a con-
ference between the parties with a
view to the settlement of the consti-
tutional question. Both the veto bill
and the referendum, he declared,
must go and the best men of both
sides must endeavor to find solu-
tion.

Relative Strength of Arms.

AS result Of some very interesting
experiments made at Washington with
q view to determine the relative
strength Of right and left limbs it has
been ascertained that over SO per cent
OF the men examined had the right
arm stronger than the left, 1910 per
cent had the arms Of equal length
and strength, and 32.7O per cent had
the left arm stronger than the right.
OF women 1890 per cent had the right
arm stronger than the left. and 24.50
per cent had the left stronger than the
right. In order to arrive at the aver
age length Of limbs fifty skeletons
were measured, twenty-five Of each
sex. OF these twenty-three had the
right arm and left leg longer, six the
left arm and right leg. while in seven
teen cases all the members were more
or less equal in length.-Exchange.

BIRDS MECKS.
It's the Number of Bones In Them
That Makes Them Flexible.


That Makes Them Flexible.
The fiamingOes were making their
afternoon toilets In thR big flying cage
at the Bronx zoo the other afternoon,
says writer in New York paper
A crowd OF children and grown people
were looking on and, exclaiming with
admiring wonder at the way these
birds were twisting their long necks
about into all sorts Of corkscrews and
curves when one Of the pathological
experts came along and stopped to
watch the performance.
TITS the larger number Of bones In a
birds neck, not the length, that make
1t so flexible" he remarked. There
are twenty-three bones In the neck OF
a swan, for example. and q few more
In that Of the flamingo. 1t seems that
the smaller the animal organism the
larger the number OF neck bones. The
girane, for instance. has only seven
bones in his long neck, which has O
reach Of nearly twenty feet from the
ground. That little white throated
sparrow over there is only three inch
es high, but he has fourteen bones in
his neck and can almost scratch the
back Of his head with his bill. The
swan has twenty-three neck bones
and swings his head abeat with even
greater freedom than q soake."

noon to discuss the proposition to pay
the Master I'm Equity a salary of
$500 a year and ons-half the
fees received in excess Of $500
There was quite lengthy and sni-

members Of the bar were in favor Of
the adoption Of the bill now before

Of making no change. while others
were In favor Of placing the Master
on a salary to be paid out of the
county treasury and abolish all fees.
The question was finally brought to
a head by the introduction of q reso-
luton recommending that all fees be
abolished and that the county pay
the Master a salary. The resolution
was finally adopted by a majority vote
