PIRATEs ATTACK A PRIEST.

The Cairo correspondent of the
London Daily News telegraphed to
that paper:
A savage assault at Haifa, an the
coast of Palestine, by Arab bOatmen,
upon a London priest, is reported by
the Egyptian Gazette. Father Mullan
of Mill Hill and four American stu
dents were being conveyed by shore
boats to their steamer late at night,
when they were brutally attacked by
the men Who were rowing them be-
cause they refused to give three times
as much as agreed upon on embark
ing. Father Mullan, who Is sturdy
Irishman, hit out vigorously, and,
with the assistance of the students,
eventually overcame the boatmen af-
ter a desperate struggle.
They thSn commenced to row them
selves to the steamer, but the cries of
the Arabs attracted two more native
boats to the scene. The occupants
Immediately began slashing the west
erners with their heavy oars, and an
other serious struggle ensued.
This time the priest and the stu
dents were beaten down, their pockets

RIPE OLD ACE

The recently celebrated centenary
of the Argentine Republic has been
the occasion of emphasizing the old
age of some of its citizens. The dis
tinguished English physician, Sir
James Cuchton- Browne, declares that
every man is entitled to his centu-
ry;" but, down in Argentina, even the
century limit is at times considerably
exceeded. The Southern Cross informs
us that there are four sisers in Cor
doba whose photos have been pub
lished in the daily papers this week
Their ages, IS given, are, respectively,
100, 115, 125 and 1870. If all this be
true, the eldest of those venerable
women was thirty years of age in
1910, and was thirty-six when the
Declaration of independence was
signed. One of the centenarians has
great grandchildren who are al
ready big. The whole story is so Won
derful that it is difficult to believe it;
but it is told seriously in our contem-
porary, La Prensa, and the photo
graphs certainly depict great. old age.
What a place Cordoba of the pictur-
esque hills and crystal streams must

THE FIRST UNIVERSITIES.

To fix precisely the date of the rise
of the first universities is impossible
for the reason that they were not
founded, but grew. They were started
by a few able men who had some
thing they wished to teach and
youths wished to learn. Gradually
the free, voluntary center of learning
became the organized affair we know
as the universities. Among the ear
liest of these centers of learning were
Salerno, Naples and Bologna, Italy
being the first land to experience the
literary revival. we may say that
Salerno university was fairly estab-
lished by the year 1860. the Universe
ty of Bologna in 1850 and the Univer-
sity of Naples by the year 1900. The
University of Paris, which owes its
existence to the genius of Abelard,
was founded about the same time.

with their spoil. the Arabs rowed the
wounded tourists to the steamer, rap
idly transferred them to the gangway,
and disappeared in the darkness.
The steamer was delayed for three

slight injuries, and one student had a
nasty scalp wound.
The struggle in the boat lasted for

a BEAUTIFUL POEM.

1t has been a long time since we
have seen any poems in the News
signed ''W. NJ but the following
lines are evidently from the pen OF
William Mcintosh, whose inspiration
is always from and for the fine and
high:
An Epitaph.
Can any claim more praise than
this
His look, his word. his grasp. his
kiss,
Were true-alf rayed from center
forth
Straight as the line from south -
north
Whereon the trembling needle tries
To mark pathway through ths
skies.
Few were his words and low his
speech;
He thought no evil-gave to each
The measure that himself bore out.
Was what he claimed, nor found
doubt
OF others truth in lies self-born;
Pitied the weak. but held in seorn
The seeming strong that Knocked WIZ
fell;
Held sedf-reproach the deepest nem,
Knew God was good whate'er bereH'
Trusted and strove and died one
day,
If all this could die-who shall say

TEMPER IS CRUELTY

great source of cruelty is temper.
When it is considered what vast
sum of misery temper causes in the
world how many homes are dark
ened and how many hearts are sad
dened by it; when we remember that
its prosecutions have not even the
purifying consequences of most other
cadamities, inasmuch as it's effects
upon its innocent victims are rather
cankerous than medicinal; when we
call to mind that a bright face and
bright disposition are like sunshine
IN a house, and gloomy. lowering
countenance is as depressing as an
Arctic night, we must acknowledge
that temper itself is only another
form of cruelty, and a very bad form,

that there are 10000 farm stills in
operation on as many farms in Ger

mits the farmer to produce a certain
amount of grain or potato alcohol, the
amount depending upon the size and
location of the farm and the annual

payment of a reduced revenue tax. AL
cohol distilled in excess of the quanti-
ty allowed is subject to the higher
rate of taxation. Denatured alcohol,
however, is not subject to any tax.

| Portland, Ore.-The convention OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
which has been in session in Portland
since Tuesday, adjourned early Satur-
day, after what almost approached an
all night session, for 1t was not until
the wee sma' hours" that the dele
gates cleared the slate of business and
ended what has proved to be one of
the most important conventions in the
history of the order.
Following the selection Friday of
James J. Regan of st. Paul as presi-
dent, and other officers, the conven-
tion got down to business on the cleo
ton of a national board of directors,
but it was not until the midnight
hour that the following were selected:
William j. Doherty, Illinois; Mich
aeI F. Powers, Michigan; William j.
Mclaughlin, New Jersey; Patrick T.
Moran. Washington, D. c.; Charles j.
Foy, Canada.
An amalgamation of the two
branches of the Ancient Order OF
Hibernians in Ireland, the United
Irish League and the Clan-Na-G Gael
with the Ancient Order of Hibernians
in the United States, with a coalition
with the various allied German socie-
ties to the end that Ireland shall be
freed from English rule and given the
status of an important race among
the world of nations, is the principle
underlying a resolution adopted early
today.
The resolution adopted urged
Greater harmony" between the two
branches of the order in Ireland, but
the national officers were empowered
to meet the officers of the various or
ganizations mentioned and discuss
with them and adopt plans looking to
the unification of all the Irish orders
and cementing of compact that
has already been entered into by the
Irish organizations and the Germans.
Saturday the Hibernians were the
guests of their fellows and citizens of
Portland on an excursion to the Co
lumbia river.
