Ringing the Husband.

The Cupid's Wing club Of Trenton,
N. j., wants a law passed compelling
married men to wear rings as we'll as
married women. Members Of the club
say this is absolutely necessary to
keep married men from passing them.
selves off as single and counting young
girls. 1t is suggested that the ring be
worn on the thumb. Why not in the
nose? Many husbands already wear
rings in their noses.
Another good way to identify men
who have already committed matri-
mony would be to make them carry
large signs printed with red letters:
"Bewarel l am malriedw Still an
other method would be to compel men
to take out counting licenses, before re
ceiving which it would be necessary
for them to prove themselves single.
Then the girl could require the would
be swain to produce his license. If he
failed to do so she could either fire
him forthwith or have him arrested
and fined.
There are those who say that they
can tell a married man without a
thumb ring. or other badge Of servi-
tude. For N thing he has a meek
and apprehensive look, and for anoth-
or he glances at his watch often, know
ing that he has to get home in time
for meals. Perhaps, after all, this
subdued and subjected air is the best
sign that he has been brought into
captivity.

Priests Killed in Accidents.

The Rev. H. J. Hammond, rector of
Great Comberton, near Pershore, was
thrown from his horse May %, and
sustained injuries from which he died.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that two
previous rectors Of Great Comberton
met their death in a similar manner.
While driving to the Ballinvilla Ma
tional school last week in a trap the
Rev. James Moclkler, &C, was killed,
by being thrown from the trap. The
horse bolted and ran away, the trap
coming in contact with ditch, causing
Father Mockler to be precipitated with
great force to the ground. as a result
of which he received severe injuries
to the head, and succumbed almost i'm
mediately. g5

Cardinal Confirms Negroes.

In st. Cyprian's church, Washington,
on May IA, Cardinal Gibbons confirmed
215 children and eight adult converts.
st. Cyprian's is the largest and most
f1ourishing congregation of colorcd
Catholics in the United States. There
are 5000 souls in the parish and over
300 children in the school taught by
the Oblate Sisters (colored). They
have property that cost $4,000, all
Of which, except $4,000, has been paid
in the pastorate of the founder Of the
parish, Father Matthews, eighteen
years. The school is absolutely free.
Besides the church work, there are ten
beneficial societies that take care Of
the sick and bury the dead. They have
reserve fund in the hands of the pas
tor of over $4,000.

Catholic College Takes First Place.

Perhaps for the first time in the his
tory of medical education in Chicago a
college has made one hundred per cent.
in the Cook County Hospital examina-
tions. This singular honor was merit
ed recently by the Loyola University
medical department. Competition to
gain a place in the Cook County insti-
tuition is keen, for internship in this
hospital, where thirty eight thousand
cases are yearly treated, is considered
as an invaluable asset for the future
doctor.
Other medical colleges, after spend
ing two years in preparing students,
and sending forty to take the examina-
tions, had seventy-five per cent. of
failures. One school sent twenty rep
resentatives and merited but one place.
Loyola University spent but three
months in preparation, sent six stu
dents and won six places.

MILITARY MASS
President Taft Among Thousands Who
Attend Services in Washington.

The first Mass ever celebrated in
the open air in Washington was cell
ebrated on Sunday, May %. Presi-
dent Taft was among the vast throng
of more than 10000 that made up the
congregation, which included thousands
Of veterans Of two wars, members of
civic and church organizations, and a
contingent Of 5000 parochial school
children.
The children marched to the monu-
ment lot waving national flags and
singing patriotic songs They were
followed by 10000 grownups marching
down Pennsylvania avenue in the
wake of two divisions of military or
ganizations commanded by Maj F. S.
Hodgson. One division of the adults
included the United Church societies
and another the veterans of the Span
ish- American war, in whose special
honor the Mass was celebrated.
The President had foregone his reg
ular Unitarian worship to attend the
Catholic service.
The open air Mass was attended by
all the pomp that marks lis ce'ebra-
tion within GCors. The ser Nor was
preached by the Rev. Eugene I>c: Nc

Of the debates in 1s93 We had 80

we bring in Home Rule bill l do
not say there will be 50 sittings, but
there will be great many sittings
There will be all of the blaze of the

form. Are we to suppose further that
the reiterated and deliberate arguments
used in this House by very competent
advocates are to count for nothing,
and that they will make no impression
at all on the minds OF voters? No one
can think anything of the kind, but
to suppose that Home Rule bill will
go through those two years unchanged,
unlnoditied for the purpose of the gov
ernment is really, it seems to me, to
show a curious ignorance of the poll
tical conditions of legislative business
in this country. Before I close I want
to say few words on the immediate
aspects of the bill. 1t is idle to pre-
tend that the powers we have left to
the House of Lords will not be both
substantiated and important. There
are those, l may confide to your lord
ships, in my own party-persons who
have good right to all opinion-who
regard these powers to be possessed
by the House of Lords, as formidable,
and, even if they were fairly and wisely
used as menacing to all the things
that Liberals care for.

When the bill was passed it would be
open to them to consider the recon-
struction of the Second Chamber, as
to which the assistance of the Opposi-
ton was most desirable, and even es-
sential. They were all agreed that for
a permanent settlement, satisfactory
to the mind Of the country, a settle
ment by agreement would be best, but
a more convenient and less dilatory
procedure might, after a certain
amount OF experiment, be found desir-
able. He agreed with settlement by
consent, but ne wished to MAKE At cfea1 fe
that by. that he did not mean a Sec
ond Chamber constructed or planned
on the principle Of resistance to all
things that the government and the
present majority of the House Of Com
mons believed the country to want
ministerial cheers). That night, and
during the course of the bill, it was
for the noble lords tosconsider what
could be a course which by wide and
prudent counsel avoided bringing
things to extremities. The bill stood
and he hoped that the opposition
would avoid course which would lead
the country in circumstances of great
difficulty, and perhaps of grave con-
fusion ministerial cheers).

Ranger Fred Platten, stationed at Spring valley, was married Mon day to Mary K. Ford, a lady who arrived from the east to meet Ranger Platten the day of the wedding. The ceremony was per- formed by Father Vabre and the bride and groom left immediately for the Spring valley ranger sta tion.
 Ranger Platten's marriage was a complete surprise to his many friends. While his actions have been suspicious for a week or more no gleam of the truth filtered out.
 Ranger Platten served in the army of occupation in Cuba as a packer and has been a valued and responsible employee of the Forest service for several years. He is a man of irreproachable character and friend good to know. May much happiness and prosperity visit their home.-Coconino Sun.

IHGnI.
 The postoffice department has issued several new orders recently of interest to the general public. and one of them at least should be understood by every body. It re- fers to what may be written on the outside of package of third or fourth class matter without sub jecting the package to firrt.class rates. The order says the follow ing, or words to the same effect, may be written on the package: Please do not open until Christ mas." The presumption is that Christmas is used merely in illus tration so that one might write 8 similar message with different date, on sending a birthday present for instance, the idea of the message being to secure for the sender the delivery be wants and is willing to pay for.
 The territory has been divided into two postoHice inspection dIs- tricts. The southern districts in- cludes Pima, Pinal, Yuma. Santa Cruz. Gila, Graham, Greeplee and Cochise counties. F. s.
