Funeral of Bishop conmy.

A very different sight was witnessed
in Ballina where the beloved Bishop
Conmy was laid to rest few hours
before the celebration of which we
have been speaking. The whole town
was draped in mourning and Catholics
and Protestants alike donned what
they could of decorous black, while in
the Cathedral itself the scene was
very affecting, many of the people
being moved to tears. Cardinal Logue
presided at the solemn Mass of Re-
QUEEN, and after the interment in the
crypt of the Cathedral, meeting of
the Clergy of the Diocese was held at
which Father Quin, Administrator of
Ballina, was unanimously elected vi
car Capitular during the vacancy of
the See.

Pilgrimage to Lourdes.

The pilgrimage of Irelands Children
of Mary to Lourdes was one of the
most successful ever organized from
the shores of Britain. The presence
of such a concourse of Catholic women
each wearing the blue ribbon and sill
yer medal which denoted the livery
of our blessed Mother and many of
them endowed with those gifts of
grace and beauty for which Erin's Isle
is famous moved even the stony hearts
of the French railways officials, and
many courtesies were shown them on
the way. In Lourdes itself the simple
piety of these girls who had been
travelling day and night for nearly
four days, many of them not in ro-
bust health, and fresh from the toll
of cities, spending their one brief re-
spite from work in this hurried visit
to Our Blessed Lady, edited even the
habitues of 'Lourdes, who are accus-
toned to see such marvellous exhibi-
tions of devotion. After three days
spent by the Grotto of Masabielle,
time of wonderful favors which was
all too short for the pilgrims, the
return journey was commenced and
Cork, the starting place, was reached
once more. This is the first national
pilgrimage of Children of Mary and it
is likely, I hear, to become yearly
feature, while the practice will proba-
bly, spread to England and even to
Scotland, and add materially to the
number of Our Lady's clients who
visit her each year.

Immigration FIGURES
SHOW BIG DECREASE
Movement of Aliens From This
Country Has Grown Rapidly
Number Leaving Equaling
66 Per Gent Of Thoss
\ .! Coming. ~ : ,

Herbert Francis Sherwood in
discussing. then ebb and flow of
immigration, in the Review Of. Re-
views for December, says that lit
tie attention has been given to
the fact that in the course Of the
year which is just closing mark
ed change occurred in the move
ment of this country.
"Between Jan. / and, Sept. 30,
l91l,' he said "450,67O persons
landed on our shores from the
third-class cabins Of the Trans
Atlantic liners. While some ar
dent restrictionist might assert
that the total was large enough,
yet it was less than two-thirds the
number that came to us in the
same class in the course of the
corresponding period Of last year.
The exact falling off was 278,424,
or 1918 per cent.
"Perhaps a knowledge of the
fact that the number Of those who
sailed eastward in the steerage in
the course of the nine months
which closed on Sept. 80, was 30O,-
O4O, or $685. per cent of the total
of those who entered, and an in
crease over the number who went
to Europe last year Of 35.47 per
cent, will cause our restrictionist
friend to 60 to the length of
throwing up his hat in his en-
thusiasm. "
Mr.. Sherwood says:
"The immigration to the Do
minion of Canada for the first nine
months of this year in contrast to
that of this country was greater
than for the corresponding period
OF the last year, but the ebb was
only 1912 per cent below the
average for the United States. It
however, was 6 per cent higher
than that for the corresponding
period Of 1910.
"Only recently has the ebb and
flow Of immigration been accept
ed as register of the condition
of the labor market in the United
States or has it been recognized
as obedient to the law Of supply
and demand. We now realize
that this country has tapped a sup
ply of labor which is sufficiently
automatic in the expansion and
contraction Of it's current to meet
the needs of a land subject to such
tluctuation in requirements as is
our 0wn."

WORK BEGUN At W|LP|n
POWDER FACTORY
Dupont Factory Commences Ac-
tive Work on Monday. Will
Have Capacity Of Four
Thousand Barrels Daily

AILef Cnree weeks OF expert
mental work with it's new plant
at Wilpin, five miles east of Hib-
bling, the Dupont Powder COM
pany has begun the active manu-
facture of black powder upon the
Mesaba range. The plant is the
first Of it's kind to be put in opera
ton in Minnesota.
1t lies a mile south of Wilpin
station on the Missabe road, and
covers an area of over 200 acres
from which all timber has been
completely cleared. The plant is
on the shore of Lake Carrie but
the different buildings are so ar
ranged among the hills that sur
round the lake that they are all
reached by narrow gauge rail-
road which operates by gravity
only. There are about a dozen
buildings from the stock house
where the raw material is receiv-
ed to the magazines where the
manufactured product is deliver
! ed to trucks for shipment. All
these buildings are of solid con-
crete, built on the side Of the hills
and the gravity railroad winds
about the hills from one building
to the other. There are three
grinding mills, exactly alike, each
mill being several hundred feet
from the other. The buildings
in which the greatest danger
exists are protected by immense
bulwarks of earth built around
them. The machinery is operated
from a central power plant, stu
ated about half mile away on
the shore of the lake. On the hills
beyond the power plant, which
is also of solid cement, are the Of
fees, superintendent residence
and a number Of cottages.
At present the plant is employ
ing Is men in the actual work of
manufacture. Every precaution
is taken with these men to pre-.
vent an explosion. They are
searched every morning before
going to their respective buildings
They wear special shoes contain
ing not particle of metal. When
the plant is working full capacity
about 70 men will be employed in
the actual process of manufacture.
This does not include the force at
the power plant or the office force
The daily capacity Of the plant is
1900 barrels Of powder and thi.
may be doubled on short notice.
The plant was constructed by
Supt. W. A. Smith, who is still al
Wilpin in charge of the construc.
ton department. William Feenie
is superintendent Of the operating
department, with B. Ellis Kester
as chief clerk and Miss Bonnie
BONNER as stenOgrapher.

A CONSTITUTION WITH THE RE-
Editor Ell Paso Herald.
The following provision appears in
the constitution adopted by the state
OF New Hampshire In 1884
The tenure that all commissioned
officers shall have by law in their re-
spective offices shall be Expressed In
d1c1al officers, duly appointed. com
missioned and sworn, shall hold their
offices during good behavior, excepting
those concerning whom there is a diff
ferent provision made in this constitu-
ton; provided, nevertheless, the presi-
dent, with consent of council, may re-
move them upon address of both houses
of the legislature
This to a layman. looks very much
ike what is called the Judiciary recall,
and the provision remains in the New
Hampshire constitution to this day, un-
changed, except that, when the title
changed from president TO governor.
the latter word was substituted for the
former.
That such provision Is to be found
In constitution adopted 127 years ago
may surprise many people, but 1T is
due no doubt to the fact that the early
settlers of New Hampshire, and espe-
cially those Of the New Hampshire
Hampshire claimed jurisdictfon), suf-
feped bitter wrongs and hardshfps at
the hands Of judges appointed by the
British crown.
The council. whose consent was nee
essary in the removal of a Judge, con-
sisted originally Of two senators and
three representatives, chosen by the
legislature in joint session, but now
the five councillors are elected by the
people at the state election.
So far as / know, no Judge has ever
been recalled" under this provision,
and since the prescribed method is so
well guarded that the judges cannot
be subjected to temporary spasms Of
public feeling. it may be considered
harmless and perhaps in a way benefit
cial- Possibly 1t would satisfy the de-
mand for the recall in Arizona.
