CALLS STORY Pure INVENTION

SAYS, AS TO BE UNWORTHY
OF NOTICE
NOW IN EUROPE FORsHEALTH
EXPRESSES SURPRISE WHEN
ASKED If HE is TO RESIGN
POST IN CABINET

| Paris, May 1.-Vice-President Ra
mon Corral, of Mexico, arrived here
today. In a statement made to the
Associated Press, he denied absolute
ly that he had ever given an inter
view at Santander, or elsewhere, in
which he criticised Americans as hav
ing fomented the revolution in Mex
leo.
The vice-president, who is in Europe
on sick leave, arrived at Santander
Spain, last Wednesday. He came
here today and after remaining sew
eral days at the French capital will
go to Berlin, where he will consult
specialists regarding his health.
Senor Corral, as soon as he reach
ed here, took occasion to repudiate the
remarks accredited to him, saying:
Il have never given an interview at
Santander, or elsewhere, criticism 8
Americans as having fomented the
rebellion in Mexico. The alleged in
teryiew was pure invention and un-
worthy Of notice"
The vice-president said he under
Stood General Bernardo Reyes was
going to Mexico, but as their paths
had not crossed, he had not met the
general.
Asked whether he intended to re-
sign the vice-presidency, Senor Corral
replied that he had no intention OF
so doing, but could not, of course,
speak for the future. He had come
to Europe to receive medical treat
ment, on a leave of absence granted
him by congress. AS to the rumor
that he might be succeeded in the
vice-presidency by General Reyes, he
said that he could not understand
how this could be, when he had been
elected for term of six years and
still had several years to serve. The
yice-president, he said, was elected
by the people, the office not being
an appointive one.
Seven months ago" said Vice
President Corral, II retired temporar-
lily from active political service on
account of my health. have carefully
refrained, therefore, from all COM
ment or action which might embarrass
my government. My own knowledge
of the general situation is from what
| see in the newspapers"

tional Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, and his
brother, James B. Mcnamara, jointly

known, was confined to two persons
and only half a dozen injured have
been admitted to the hospitals.
Every householder in Bangor whose
home escaped destruction opened his
doors last night to the less fortunate,
but in spite of this thousands were
forced to spend the night in the
streets. Many of these suffered
greatly from cold and exposure. More
Serious, however, than the problem
of sheltering the homeless, was the
matter Of feeding them on account
of the destruction of all the food sup
plies in the retail district. Every
morning train brought food to the
city but it was some little time before
the authorities could arrange for its
distribution.
The fire started near the corner of
Broad and Union streets, in the vicin.

includes forty-five blocks and the de-
struction was complete.

MANAGING CHILDREN.

What children need need is cheer
full, home-like surroundings, good,
wholesome food, simple clothing and
health'ul childish sports. Give them
few toys at a time, but do not be
too lavish. for 1t is the experience
of all who have carefully studied
children that, where they have a
great many playthings, they cease to
care for them. Children may inherit
tendencies that are difficult to man
age, but at heart they are not bad;
II is usually the evil example and
mismanagement OF their parents that
make them so. II mothers realized
their great dignity and responsibility
more fully, they would feel like
fasting in sackcloth and ashes in
stead of gossiping and scolding be-
fore their children.

HAYDN's ROSARY.

1t is related that once when the
famous composer, Joseph Haydn,
was in company with a number OF
other musicians OF prominence. the
question arose as 10 the best way
of refreshing the mind when one is
wearied with mental labor. For
my part" said one, II find nothing
so effective as glass of good
wine" Another remarked; when
my ideas begin to flag. quit my
work and so into company" "And
how is It with you, Haydn" asked
one of his companions. II take to
my Rosary, which l always carry
about me-" he answered modestly;
land after a few decades l am sure
10 feel refreshed, both in body and
mind" This answer, made without
any pretense OF superior virtue.
deeply impressed the other COM
posers. who felt that the Queen OF
Heaven vouchsafed 10 Haydn's spir-
itual ear an occasional passage from

dwelling.

WHERE PEACE REIGNs.

Compare the picture OF a pious
family with one that is not so. In
one there is subordination, peace
and union. In the other independ-
ence. vexation, discord. Piety con-
stitutes the happiness OF one, and in
dependence the unhappiness OF the
other.
1t is not possible that a family
where, morning and night, the pray
ers are said with exactitude and
reverence. should not live an exem-
plary and Christian life IN every
other respect. God watches over 1t
with particular care, and conse-
quently 1t must be happy.
On the contrary, where this prac-
tice is neglected, it Is very common
for one or more OF the household TO
forget their prayers, and In the
house where this is the case there
is no real Christianity; God does not
dwell there, and whatever may APP
pear TO be the case, every member
Is more or less unhappy, the hus-
band and wife, parents and children
being a continuous subject OF an
noyance 10 one another. One OF the
best antidotes for the preservation
OF piety In the family is the reading
Of a good Catholic paper.
