The New Irish Church in Rome.

For more than year the church of
st. Patrick in Rome has been rising
silently, but quickly and najestically
from its foundations in the via Ludo-
vlsl-so silently that many even of
the Irish residents Of the city have
been unaware of the fact, SO quickly
that 1t will be ready for opening on
next st. Patrick's day, and so ma
jestically that the new temple more
Than promises to be another gem of
ecclesiastical architecture added to
the treasures OF Rome. The archi-
tect is the Chevalier Aristide Leonori,
already famous for the many beauti-
full churches erected by him not only
in Rome, but in America and various
other parts of the world. The facade
is mainly of Tivoli travertine; an
ample portal, rich in pilasters and
columns, surmounted by mosaic
representing ST. Patrick receiving his
mission from the Pope, and fanked
the statues Of st. Bridget and st.
Columkille, gives entrance to the
church which is approached by eight
steps from the street. Over the por-
tai and running across the whole
front is large frieze of carved
arabesques, and upon this rests por-
tico Of nine arches, in the center of
which is to be Seen the coat-of-arms
OF The reigning Ponti&, and above this
again rises the large central win
| dow. The facade is crowned by
cornice supported by fifteen arches
with pillars, and in the middle, over
the great window, is mosaic repre-
senting St. Patrick in the act OF
blessing. Above the tympanum and
! croWning the whole ediflce rises an
Irish cross in carved stone. The
length of the church, including the
ample vestibule, is about 175 feet and
the breadth about 78 feet. It is d.
vfded into three naves by large col
umns of granite of Baveno with in
terposed pilasters; the central nave
terminates in an apse containing the
/ high altar, and small apses with al
tars also close the minor naves; the

WAY OF FISHERMAN
1t is Made Hard for Him When He
Has Big Story to Tell Friends.


"A fisherman who was worming for
trout on the Ythan,' says a writer IN
Baily's Magazine, "had just laid his
rod down to visit his sandwich box,
when without warning it suddenly
rose in the air and scared away like
a Bleriot biplane over Esslemont
woods.
"For one wild moment he thought
there were visions about, but the ex-
planation was soon apparent. A trout
had seized the worm and had then in
turn been seized and gorged by a
heron. Away tapped the heron, only
to find that it had captured something
of unusual weight.
Still, it bravely flew toward it's
nest in the treetops, and the angler
might never have recovered his rod
had it not got entangled in some tel
egraph wires with the result that the
cast snapped, the heron went free
and the rod was eventually restored
to its owner.

man who before I had even got as

ut seems that his angling friend
was casting with a large spoon, and
in back cast drove it into the ear
of tiger which had been going to
spring on him from behind. Goaded
by the pain, the brute sprang clean
over him and into the river, and the
fisherman actually played it for an
hour as it swan to and fro in mid
stream.

on fishermen the unmerited reproach
of being liars.

outlay as that.
A Total of $33,760 for One Seat.
The man whose election to the
House of Commons cost most was Sir
John H. Bethel, who retained the
Romford Division of Essex, great
East London District and the most
populous constituency in England. To
poll the 52,984 electors, or, rather,
the 44,415 of them who voted, cost
Sir John $4,000 and his Tory oppon-
ent, $14,560, or total of $33,76O for
the one seat. Sir John Bethel is an
auctioneer, and by no means wealthy.
He has contested the vast division
four times. His enormous expenses
have to be provided out of the Party
war chest. Sir John was made a
knight four years ago on his winning
the seat for the first time.
Walthamstow Division of Essex,
the adjoining constituency, another
big London East End residential dis
1rict, comes next at the top of the
swollen list. Its electorate numbers
39,117, and in January the election
cost a total expenditure of $24,945.
J. A. Simon, who held the seat for
the Liberals, spent $11,92O, and his
Tory opponent $4,000. Mr.. Simon is
the son of a Congregational minister.
He Is barrister and does much work
for the British Government. He was
counsel for the English Crown in the
arbitration proceedings between Brit
ain and the United States over the
Alaska boundary. But his great cleo
tion expenses have also to come out
of the Liberal Party's election fund.
EngIand's Most Costly Borough.
The most costly borough to fight is
that of Wandsworth, a southwestern
residential district of London. At the
last election Sir Henry Kimber, who
again retained the seat for the Tories,
spent $3.50, and $7,925 was laid out
in the futile effort to obtain the seat
for the Liberals. Sir John Dewar,
the Scotch whisky man, who retained
the Inverness burghs, for winning
which for the Liberals, he was made
a baronet three years ago, holds the
most costly seat in Scotland. Tie
expense of this contest amounts to
nearly $4,000. In his last fight he
spent $S,375, and his unsuccessful op-
ponent $7,430.

can justly be said Of him that he never
