ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN.

Cleveland, Aug. l3.-Another
worlds record was broken at the
Grand circuit races today. The Har-
vester, driven by Ed Geers. won two
heats of the 2:0G trot in 2:04A and
2.03A respectively. making the two
fastest heats ever trotted in a race
by stallion.

d second off his own record, equalled
the stallion trotting record made by
Cresceus at Brighton Beach track in
1902 and set a new mark for five year
old trottng stations in a race. in rhe
second heat.
The stallion had such big lead
over Sonoma Girl, Wilkes Heart and

tries was easicy won by Ross X. fast

ABATING A NUISANCE.

OF all the unmitigated nuiSances
that infest the club and other gather
ing places of men, the fellow who uses
profane language and is every ready
with his funny story is the most OBJ
noXious. He is q foul creature who
should not be permitted in circles in
any way claiming responsibility. This
being absolutely true. it is gratifying
TO note that the Chicago Newspaper
club has Instituted measures to rid
itself of the vile excrescenoes. In a
notice sent to the entire membership
the officers say: Any member using
obscene or unclean language must ex-
pect to be reminded of the determina-
ton of the club officers. and If. after
due notice, he persists in it, he must
expect to be asked to resign as an I'M
desirable member: following which, if
he should not resign, he must expect
to be expelled as he would be from
any other decent organization of intel
ligent men,
The club surely must be possessed
of some pretty tough timber. for the
officers relate that the vile talk turned
looose on persons helpless to avoid
hearing it has kept prospective mem
bers out. Also that it has interfered
with the cafe business. for men will
not eat while they have to hear talk
calculated TO prevent the retention of
food once swallowed"
One cannot walk along the street
nowadays without hearing language
that is nauseating in its very Nileness.
Even out of the mouths of babes is
sues filth that is positively sickening.
1t is gratifying to note that SO i'm
portant body as the Chicago news
paper men have inaugurated this
needed reform. The members should
have the hearty cooperation not only
of their own tOwRsmen, but the move
ment should be taken up in other
cities and by other organizations.
Surely no decent man is so limited in
his vocabulary as not to be able to eX-
press himself without using language
that is disgusting. And surely. too,
there are plenty of witty stories with
out going into the black muck of OBJ

PRAISES SPEECHES BY EMPEROR
WILLIAM.

The Osservatore Romano publishes
comments, evidently inspired by the
Holy See, on the discussion Saturday
in the German reichstag of the speech
made by Emperor William at Koe-
nigsberg on August %. pointing out
that the debate furnished proof Of the
irrefutable truth contained in the en-
peror's speeches. both at Koenigsberg
and Beuron. that the throne and altar
cannot be divided in Germany, reli-
gion being necessary in the struggle
against error in modern times.
The Vatican official organ, in the
course Of its comment, says:
The two finest speeches of the
German monarch were noble. just and
constitutionally correct While ire
ligion and demagogy imperil the prin-
ciples of authority and order it is re-
lief to hear certain truths nobly vim
Dictated by the authoritative and au-
gust lips of a powerful sovereign"

hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary

Hill, s. j., preached a sermon dealing
with the story of the history of the old

for forty-siX years, and is now almost
seventy years old St Peters was
opened for service in 1885. The orig

y GRATIFYING FEATURE.

\ most gratifying feature of the
recent convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church at Cincinnati was
the yearning shown for Christian
unity There was the usual proposal
to change the name of the denomina-
ton. by the commission of Protestant
on the title page of the prayer book;
resolutions to promote religious edu-
cation, to safeguard the marriage tie,
to extend missionary IabOrs, etc.
but the subject of paramount interest
was the union of Christian bodies,
this being regarded by both lay and
clerical delegates as of vital import
ance, ''the ultimate perfection of
Christianity" We learn that when
ever the rules permitted applause, no
sentiment was so cordially received
as that which evinced the desire of a
united Christendom.
At the final session of the conven-
ton it was decided to form a joint
commission TO arrange for a confer
ence to which Christians of every
name, and from all over the world,
shall be invited to discuss the ques-
tons of faith and practice now sep
arating religious bodies that profess
belief in the divinity and leadership
Of Christ

ANOTHER NEW CATHEDRAL.

Rt. Rev. Bishop Cotton of Buffalo,
\. Y. hopes to begin in April next the
erection of a magnificent Gothic cathe-
dral which, exclusive of the furnish
ings. Will cost $500.000 The new
structure, the plans of which are by
Aristides Leonori Of Rome. italy. will
be built Of white marble inside and
out, that of the interior being highly
polished, while the exterior will be
fooled. The length will be $50 feet
over all; Jransept. $50 feet. Twin
spires will reach to the height of $50
feet while from floor to ceiling will be
100 feet. Beautiful marble columns
viii support the clerestory. but these
will not interfere with the view OF the
altar. as is commonly the case. They
will be outside the pews, which will
accommodate 1000 people Between
the peWs and walls will be aisles if
teen feet wide giving standing room
for several thousand people on ex-
traordinary occasions. There will be
seven affairs. If nothing unforeseen
interferes. the cathedral will be ready
for dedication twenty months after
the beginning of the work.

"HERE.s TO YOU. IRIsHAIEN.s.'

The following lively little essay
from the Chicago Post is evidently not
intended to be taken too seriously !:
and yet, remarks the Sacred Heart
Review. we have not seen for a long
time the character of the Irish people
in some respects so happily and accu-
rately described as it is in this eX-
tract:
Irishmen mean much to this coun-
try. Just what they mean is hard TO
say ireland is a paradox among ma
lions. and the Irishman puzzle
among men. In fact, Ireland is no
nation at all; it is, like Boston, a
state of mind. Likewise it is not
living in Ireland that makes man
Irish, but it is belonging to certain
psychological type. To call him a
Celt is an attempt to seem wise; it is
dim anthropological subterfuge. He

The only way to learn what an Irish
man is. if you want to know, is to eat
with or fight with him.
He is a bundle of charming incon-
sistencies. With a genius for organi-
cation and a tremendous appetite for
office and authority. he is at the same
time the man who invented insur
gency. Whatever the government is,
he's against it. That is because he's

BENEDICTINEs IN THE CONGO.

Writing of the arrival in the Congo
of a party of Benedictines who are
about to make a foundation there and
minister to the white settlers and to
the natives, The Catholic Magazine of
South Africa says:
Strange to saay the Benedictines
have only one other foundation in At
RIGA, the Vicariate of South Zanzibar,
founded in 1887. But their civilizing
work is as old as Christian monastic
ism itself. When Europe was still a
land of barbarians. they cleared the
forests and titled the land. and taught
the unruly Vandal and Goth to pillow
and reap. often they went to estab
lish themselves where no mans foot
had trodden before them. But where
ever they pitched their tents, the
church and the school and the work
shop soon sprang up. The Congo now
calls for the very same missionary
work that was so thoroughly per-
formed in England and in Germany in
the days gone by. There is this differ
ence. that events move more quickly
in our days than they did i'm the days
of the early Beaedictines. Perhaps
some of US may live to see new Tin
tern Abbey or a Monte Casino within
the borders of the Congo state"
