Speaking of the celebration, Cardin-

The press undoubtedly is colos-
sal engine of truth or error. We are
daily confronted by it. 1t penetrates
every walk Of life, and it's influence
and circulation are daily increasing.
LAS it is the duty OF the press to be
an agent of good, and not of evil, so
it IS the duty of the people to give
their support to such papers as are
conspicuous for their elevating tone,
and to do everything in their power to
lessen the great evil results of those
which have an influence for bad"

An Irish Heroine.

In Glasnevin cemetery is the grave
OF Anne Devlin- true friend of Ire
lands hero, Robert Emmett. She was
niece of Michael Dryer, the leader
OF a band of rebels" who latter the
war in the year '9S" still for years
maintained themselves in the fast
nesses of the mountains above the
Dodder river, near Dublin, battling
all efforts of the military and yeo-
many to hunt them down. When
Emmett got away to the mountains,
after the failure OF his attempt of
assisting in the city on the 23rd of
July, 1903, Anne Devlin was the
messenger between him and his
friends in Dublin. His escape to the
Continent could have been accom-
plished, but his love for Sarah Cur
ran, to whom he was engaged, would
not let him avail of it without first
having an interview with her; and,
returning to the city, he was arrest
ed at Harold's Cross. Meanwhile the
Castle authorities were in hot pursuit
OF Emmett, and Anne Devlin was
seized and brought before Them
When arrested she absolutely refused
to inform the military as to Emmets
whereabouts, although subjected to
torture, indignity and imprisonment.
woman living in howell, unnoticed
and unknown except by the poor of

the age of 73 years, and the monu-
ment which marks her last resting

through the exertions of DR.. N. N.
Madden.

PRINTERS MASS
Celebrate Anniversary of Institution Of
Early Mass for Newspaper Men.


Early Mass for Newspaper Men.
With impressive ceremony, Arch
bishop Farley pontificating and Bishop
McFaul preaching, the tenth anniver-
sary of the institution of the early
Mass for newspaper men and other
night workers, commonly called the
Printers Mass" will be celebrated
in st. Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday
May Z, at 2:45 A. M
1t is expected the vast edifice will
be crowded with worshippers at the
unique celebration. Men of promi-
nence-statesmen. jurists, scholars,
leaders in the professions and in bus
mess affairs-have been invited. Many
have sent acceptances.
In the spring of 1901 committee
of printers who worked at night in
Park Rows newspaper buildings went
to Archbishop Corrigan and urged
that an early morning Mass for their
benefit be established in some down
town church. The Archbishop doubted
the feasibility of the plan, while lik-
ing the idea and approaching the zeal
of his visitors. The printers, after
their labors, might be too tired to at
tend Mass, he thought. The commit
tee persisted, and finally, the Arch
bishop asked that a census of Catholic
night workers be taken. He said that
if sufficient number desired the
Mass he would apply to Pope Leo XIII,
for permission to establish it.
Four hundred men signed the petit
ton. Pope Leo granted permission
and sent the Pontifical blessing, and

Where the Nuns Sometimes Vote.

In Australia, the country of equal
suffrage, the privilege of voting is
made use of by women, and especially
when educational questions are at
stake. According to Rev. Thomas o.
Mara. even the nuns sometimes ex-
ercise the privilege of the franchise.
He writes in The Etudes:
"The woman's rights movement is
far advanced in Australia; women
have the right to vote and may even
become members of Parliament.

Drowned Himself.
Every day, when We recite the
Apostles Greed, We mention the name
OF Pontius Pilate-"suffered under
Pontius Pilate."
The tomb of PLATE is atill to be
seen in Vienne, France. writer in
the Ave Maria, H. E. Delamore, sums
up the career of the weak Roman Gov
ernor after the death of our Lord, Pi-
late never knew rest or peace till he
/ flung himself. a suicide, into the river
Ishone. Says the writer:
1.-The punishment OF PLATE began
even in this world, for ii appears that,
soon after Our Lords crucifixion, he
! gave offence to the Roman emperor
, who recalled him from Judea, and
later on sent him as governor, not of
Gaul. but simply OF the city now
called Vienne.
This was a. terrible blow to the
proud Romano whose ambition had
made him willing to sacrifice even his
integrity as a Judge rather than suffer
it to be said that he was not Caesars
friend Though beautiful and stately,
/ the Gallo-Romant city was quiet, and
it's life monotonous compared to that
of Jerusalem; and in his humiliation,

by the face OF Him OF whom he had
said, Behold the Man!"Aof the In
nocent One whom so many now pro-
claimed to be the Son of the one true
God. r-...

that He was a. King, though not of this

soldiers at the tomb had related that
they had been struck down and over
whelmed by the majesty of the risen
Christ,-that Christ whom he had al
lowed to be cruci6ed, in spite of his
What to him were the beauty of

scent of the flowers, the songs OF
birds, and the, brilliant sunshine on
the blue waters! They seemed but
to mock him in his shame and des-
pair; to remind him evermore that
he might have given his life for the
grandest cause on earth, and had dis
mally failed even in his duty as mag
istrate.
"Tormented by remorse, haunted by
despairing fear. broken by his dis
grace, desperate in his misery, he
wandered away one day from his pal
ace and attendants, .and threw him
self into the surging waters of the
Rhone. But even the river refused
to be polluted by the decide; and,
at a few yards from where he had
taken his fatal leap, the waters cast
his dead body upon the rocky shore.

STEAM RAILWAY
Of a Street Car Line
to Be Built Through
Tyler County.

NEW MARTTNSNILGE, Feb. Sat
ia meeting OF some of the promoters
of the proposed railway line from this
city to the county seat of Tyler coun-
ty, and some practical railroad men
in this city, IT was decided that a
steam road would he the most practi-
cal, for various. reasons, among them,
that trolley road would not be able
to handle coal to any advantage, as 1t
would be but short time until the
rich coal fields, near Middlebourue,
would be opened up. and especially as
the road is to be extended to the r.
and o. at west Union or Salem, end
will pass through an undeveioped coal
country.
1t is understood the right of way
has been secured over most of the
proposed route. 1t is time, 1t seems,
to quit building on paper and get busy

STILL
As GAS STATE
As Shown by Statistics Made
Up in the City Of
Washington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. g.
West Virginia continues second in
the production of natural gas, ac-
cording to returns from the Geolog-
ical Survey and the Census Bureau,
working together. West virginia
has been second in the value of It's
natural gas output since 1903, when
it passed Indiana. From 1899 to
1902 West Virginia was third in gas
production. Figures on the value Of
the. gas produced in 1909 and 1910
have not been given out but enough
is known to show that Pennsylvania
still ranks first in value OF gas pro-
duced and West Virginia second.
The estimated value of the total
natural gas production Of the United
States for 1909 is $50, OO0, 900. an
increase of only about 100000 over
that of 1908, while the value of the
product of 1910 Is estimated at
i 5I,oOO,OOO.
There were no great changes in
the natural gas industry during
1901, according to d. Hill, in charge
Of this branch Of the Geological Sur
vey work. The PRODUCTION continued
to decline in Kansas, while an in
crease was noted in Oklahoma, in
the cado field in louisiana and in
Texas.
What promises to be a very large
supply of natural gas has been de
veloped in the Buena vista hills in
Kern county. California, east of the
Sunset-McKitrick oil field.
