Making 1873 pounds.

The fact that Packey Mcfarland
cannot make 1873 pounds is taken in
some quarters as a bar to the stock
wards champion competing for the
lightweight title. AS matter of fact
there are only two champions OF the
class in America who have insisted
on 1913 pounds. They are Nelson and
WoIgast, and, following the precedent
of the weight being set by the title
holder. Wolgast can, If he chooses.
keen Mcfarland out of the cOmpe-
tition.
There being no provision of the
rules covering the weights in the
various classes. precedent is the only
thing that can be followed, and prece-
dent is all against 1873 pounds. Jack
McAuliffe defended his title at from
1876 to 13S pounds.
When Lavigne lost the title to
Frank Erne, the weight as set by
the champion was 135 at p. m. Then
champfon Lavigne, becoming heavy,
fixed the weight at 1876 pounds p.
m. when he lost to Joe Cans. The
latter. eager for the money resultant
from a match with Nelson, permitted
the challenger to dictate 1873 pounds
ringside, and as Cans weighed with
trunks and shoes he fought at 1S1 Il
pounds. 1t was this drastic reduction
that hurried Cans death.
Nelson and Wolgast, being little
chaps. naturally tried to keep out all
dangerous fellows who were over the
1873 mark. But with the exception of
Moran, there are few lightweights
who can do 1873 pounds, and Wolgast
will have to make concessions or re-
tire the undefeated 133-pound cham

To Improve Johnson.

One of the biggest factors in the i'm
proved performances of Walter johnson
last season was his mastering of a
slow ball which, when worked with his
terrific speed, added fully so per cent to
his ability to fool opposing batters.
''All last spring We worked with Wal
ter, teaching HIM the trick Of alter
mating a 'f1Oater' with his fast ball, with
the result that in the closing weeks he
had pretty fair slow ball." said Nc
Aleer today.
When l wrote him last l told John
son to make every effort to improve
this, and as soon as We all get to-
gether we will concentrate our attention
on endeaVorinG TO make johnson one OIL
the best slow ball pitchers min the bust
ness.
There has never been any question
as to JOhnsOn's fast ones, but l have
always Contended that if he would work
his slow curve more often he would be
even more effertive.
Relying entirely on speed will tend to
shorten mans career in the box, and
we want Johnson to last as long as pos
Sible."

OLD SORES
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The infamma-
tion, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is a morbid cause
for the sore. But more convincing
proof that bad blood is the cause for
these places is furnished by the fact
that even removing the sore or ulcer
by surgical operation does not cure;
they always return. Nature will
heal any sore if the blood is pure
aud healthy, but until the Circulation
is cleansed of all impure matter and
supplied with nourishing and plas-
mic qualities the infected condition
of flesh is OBLIGED to remain.
S. S. S. heals Old Sores in perfectly
natural way. It goes into the blood,
removes the impurities and morbid
matters, adds nourishing qualities
to this vital fluid, and brings about

Look to West Virginia.


Judging by the provisions of the meas
ure which have just passed both houses
of the Legislature, West Virginia will be
the next State TO which the turfmen of
America will turn for the enjoyment of
their favorite sport
The bill legalizes the selling of pools
within recognized racing Enclosures, and
as soon as the governors signature,
which it is said has already been prom
ised, Is placed on the papers a stock
company will begin the work of erecting
modern plant at Chester, which is
within easy access of Pittsburg.
The sentiment in West Virginia is
strong for the proper management of
the courses under the new law, so some
mighty strong guarantees, as to con-
duct, will have to be given before sane
tion will be issued for any companies,
whether from within the State or COM
posed of stockholders from other COM
monwealthS.
Under these conditions there is no
reason why racing should not be re-
vived along the proper lines.

Henry VIII, no doubt, was
known to be a dangerous man to
trife with. Still for time, there
was a certain amount Of frmness
shown in resistance to the royal
demand. The Protestant historian
Of the Cathedral tells us what oc-
Cured. He is speaking Of the
resignation Of the church and Of
everything belonging to it into
the hands Of the King, and he
says: The resignation was made
in a very unlawful manner, with
out the will or consent Of the Arch
bishop, the chief ordinary, founder
and patron of almost all the pre-
bends And he continues: It APP
pears, likewise, that the Dean inn
prisoned the Precentor, Treasurer,
two Archdeacons, and fifteen of
the Prebendaries, who were the
persons that formed the Chapter
at that time, and forcibly detained
them until he had obtained their
consent. That, then, was how the
possession Of st. Patrick's passed
into the hands Of Henry VIII, the
so-called Head Of The Church in
England and in Ireland. =

NoN-RELIGIoUs EDUCATION

The value Of an education from
which all religious teaching is de-
signedly excluded is being more
and more questioned by those who
are entitled to speak with author
ity on such matters. Many Of the
leaders in pedagogical science are
becoming convinced that the pub
lie school system is not the best
suited for the harmonious develop
ment of all the faculties Of the
growing child. The latest to criti-
else the public schools for their
non-religious character is Stanley
Hall, President Of the Clark Uni
versity, Worcester, Mass, whose
writings are well known by all
teachers who keep in touch with
the latest developments in ped
agogy. President Hall in an ar
ticle in the New York Times on
Defects in our Public Schools
and Hopes for Improvement"
makes it very plain that he con-
siders educational institutions in
which due respect is shown for the
claims Of religion far superior to
those from which religion is en-
tirely excluded. On this point he
says: Protestant though I am, I
believe that, with the young,
morality needs religious enforce
ment, and in this general PROPOSE
ton I believe the Catholics are
right, and that schools should not
be so secularized as to become
Goddess. I do not forget that
France and Japan are experiment.
ing on just this line. But both
these countries have been driven
to this step by political and other
exigencies, as indeed we were in
the days Of intense UNCONVENTIONAL
spirit when our schools were
divorced from church influences.
/ Moreover, France and Japan
realize the gravity Of the problem
and are doing everything in their
power to make civic life and pub
lie service and welfare a religion. !"
He would rather see the plastic
mind of the child at the dawn of
adolescence subjected to the in
fuence of some form Of religious
training, even though it be a false
one, than have them attain matur-
ity wholly devoid of respect for
any system of religious principles.
It is consoling to Catholics to
know that the principle involved
in the system of education that
prevails in their. schools is receiv-
ing more favorable consideration
from some Of the leading educe-
tionists in America.

letter TO The EDIT n
THE SECOND CHURCH IN MINNIE
APoLls.

To the Editor: Allow me to cor
rect an error which crept into the last
number December 16) of The Cath
Ollie Bulletin. In the account of the
Fortieth Anniversary of the Immacu-
late Conception Parish of Minneapolis
it is said: with the exception of the
Church Of st. Anthony of Padua, the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
is the oldest in the city of Mime
apolis." Years before the parish Of
the Immaculate Conception was or
ganized, there was another in exist
ence, that of St. Boniface, which is
really the second in Minneapolis in
point of time. Here is what the "Acta
ct Dicta" vol. II, No. 1, July, 1909, p.
141, says in that regard: 1.-THE i'm
pulse towards its (the parish of st.
Boniface) foundation was given dur
ing mission held at st. Anthony's
Church by Father Wenninger, s. j.,
in the autumn OF, the year 1856. The
first church was completed in 1858;
in the month of October Of that year
Mass was said for the first time in the
sacred edifice by Rev. Demetrius De
Marogna, 0. s. B., then Rector of the
Assumption parish of st. Paul."

ers against the awful sin Of which
they make themselves guilty when
they use their power and the pos
sible helplessness of the working
man to force contracts from him
that do not bring him a Just wage
for his labor. He does not hest
tate to declare such forced con-
tracts as oppression and fraud
sins that cry to heaven for
vengeance.
In brief, it is because, in the
interest Of God and religion, and
honest workingmen, the Church
raises her voice in warning against
the irreligious and atheistic prin-
ciples with which Socialism seeks
to poison the pure life Of labor,
that the Socialists cry out in
frenzy that the Catholic Church is
the enemy of organized labor in
the interest Of capital.

ST. PArR1cK's CHURCH, DUB
LIN.

When the Archbishop Of Dublin
laid the foundation stone Of the
new church Of st. Patrick at Ring
send, Dublin, the other day, says
the Sacred Heart Review, the first
step was taken toward the re-
moval of a startling anomaly. The
anomaly is that Of the many Cath
Ollie churches within the city of
Dublin there is not one dedicated
to Ireland's Patron Saint. The
Catholics once in olden days built
a Catholic Cathedral and dedi-
Gated it to st. Patrick, but it
passed into the hands Of Protes-
tants at the Reformation, and they
still have possession Of it.
How st. Patrick's Cathedral
passed out Of the hands Of Cath
olics was stated as follows by
Archbishop Walsh in his address
at the public meeting which fol
lowed the religious ceremony Of
laying the foundation stone Of the
new st. Patrick's Church at
Ringsend:
What happened in Dublin at
the time Of the official change of
religion in this country in the six
teenth century?. We have it at
tested by historical records Of un-
improbable authority. In 1916,
King Henry VIII decreed the sup
preston Of st. Patrick's, and the
Lord Deputy, the Viceroy Of the
time, the Lord Chancellor, and
others, were appointed Commits
sioners to receive in the chapter
house Of that Cathedral, at the
hands Of the Dean and Chapter the
surrender Of the Cathedral church,
its revenues, it's estates, and all it's
possessions. Well, the Commits
sion was duly executed, and the

the penitential aspect Of the

the gloom Of her mourning with
these CLEANS of brightness In
anticipation Of that joyful morn

PROTESTANT ACTIVITY TN
THE PHILIPPINES.

The work Of propagating the
Protestant religion among the FIJI
ipinos is being carried on ener-
getically according to a recent LETT
ter Of the Most Reverend Arch
bishop of Manila. The various
sects, it seems, have an under
standing among themselves by
which each strives to promote its
own religious tenets in a certain
part Of the islands. s'In the last
ten or twelve years, says Arch
bishop Harry, various prominent
American Protestant sects have
apportioned among themselves dis
tinct spheres Of propagandism in
these lands; a division of territory
having been resorted to for the
purpose of concealing from Filip-
mos the spectacle, presented in
the United States and elsewhere,
Of religious discord among them
selves. II.
In violation OF civil law, mis-
sioners Of these denominations
have, in many instances, chosen
highways, streets and market
places in which to denounce the
Catholic Church, it's doctrines,
worship, practice, and ministers.
They hold up to scorn and ridicule
our veneration for the Mother OF
God, for the saints and for sacred
images; they decry the spiritual
power Of the priesthood and they
have not hesitated to stigmatize all
Catholics as idolaters, and priests
as mercenary and avaricious. Aid
ed by missionary societies, they
have been enabled to expend con
siderable sums Of money on their
work, and under the cloak of edu-
cation or charity they strive to I'M
dermine the Faith of our fathers
