DUBLIN, May 2O,--(Special to The Bee)
The Ulster Irishmen, who have been or
ganizing anti-home rule leagues, claiming
membership of 100000, announce then
purpose to fight against home rule in Eng
land, ireland and Scotland. They claim
to have secretly raised $4,000 wherewith
to pay the expense of an anti-home rule
campaign. and the Unionist association OF
Ireland will meet in Dublin very soon 10
put the finishing touches to the elaborate
arrangements for the campaign. Speakers
and canvassers have left ireland for Eng
land and Scotland In order to begin the
task of educating the predominant part
ner'' which will Immediately follow the
7 granting of home rule.
Society people were recently attacked in
powerful sermon by Rev. Robert Kane,
a Jesuit preacher here. He said they were
highly civilized in their science and its APP
plication, in their motor cars and tele-
phones, in the costumes of their suf-
fragettes, in the nakedness of their bal
let's and the horror OF their slums. They
were also highly civilized in the art of
lying diplomacy and in the science of muir
derous war
without Christ there is no Christianity;
without Christianity there is no religion
and without religion there is no true
civilization. The church broke the letters
of the slave raised woman from pagan
dishonor and enthroned her as the queen
of the home. The church was the true
mother TO the orphan. a true friend to
the poor, purifier OF the prison, GOOD
Samaritan to the suffering and a good
shepherd to the fallen. Leo XIII insisted,
A mans wage must be sufficient to sup
port him in reasonable comfort; otherwise
he is the victim of injustice"
Six years ago, entering the shop of a
local Jeweler. a man produced a fine pearl
and asked to have II mounted He showed
the jeweler several other pearls and said
he had a number at home. These he would
sell II they were of any value They had
been given to him by cousin in America.
The jeweler. after taking the name and
address of the stranger, advanced him SIS
pending the valuation of the pearls by an
expert. II was found that they were worth
5000. The man who left the pearls with
the jeweler has never returned. The aid
of the police was sought and II ives found
that the address given by the man was
false. 1t was also discovered that he had
been a waiter at a Killarney hotel. The
jeweler now claims the pearls, but the
police hold that they become the property
Of the crown, and the question of owner
ship is to be fought In the courts.
Bishops and priests keep up their at
tacks on English Sunday papers, which
they characterize as purveyors OF filth and
crime. During a sermon recently Rev. r.
Fftzhenry, administrator of the diocese,
said:
Twenty-Five tons of British printed
matter are landed every week on the
shores OF ireland. Much of this is unfit
for the eye Of decent people; very much
of II altogether is unfit for the innocent
eyes and expanding minds of the young.
Take, for instance, the English Sunday
papers that until recently were sold by the
score in our midst. In them the filth OF
the world is collected and served up for
the Sunday reading OF Catholics The
whole world is searched for murder, rob-
berry, brutality and sensuality, and all
this in suggestive picture and striking
words is laid under the eye and poured
into the unsulhed mind Of our youths and
maidens. Public crimes attract attention
and make a noise Virtue Ia silent ana
unobserved. One crime attracts more at
tenuon than the million acts OF virtue
and self-denial performed in thousands of
homes.
