AMUSEMENT NOTES.
On Thanksgiving Night Sousa and His
Band at Opera House.

Both as composer and conductor, John
Philip Sousa has been recognized the
world over, the representative American
musician, and the famous band under his
name and direction for SO many years,
has been acknowledged to be the leading
band of the world. No other organiza-
ton has given pleasure to 50 many
thousands of music lovers at home and
abroad, and no other composer has so
large and enthusiastic following, 1t is
only necessary to have heard other
bands and orehestras, and then listen
to concert by Sousa and his band, con-
Quoted BY John Philip Sousa, to account
for. the truth OF these facts, for Mr..
Sousa's method in making up and pre-
senting program, have brought the
masses of the world to a better ac-
quaintance with all that is elevating and
in the realm of music. A
Sousa concert means the perfect per-
Torrance OF the only Sousa band, con-
Quoted by John Philip Sousa, together
with three splendid soloists, Miss Vir-
ginia Root, soprano; Miss Nicotine Zed-
eler, yiolinist; and Mr.. Herbert l..
Clarke, eornetist. All of these will be
heard on Thanksgiving night at the
opera house.-Adv.

sick, the tongue is coated, stomach sour,
breath bad; they don't eat or rest well |;
they become feverish, cross, irritable and
don't want TO play. Listen, mothers
for your child's sake don't force the
little one to swallow nauseating castor
oil, violent calomel or harsh irritants
like cathartic pills. A teaspoonful Of
Syrup of Figs will have your child smil-

Syrup of Figs will gently clean sweeteh
and regulate the stomach, make the nv

The Prospect for Coming Session
of Congress
WHICH OPENS NEXT MONDAY
Coming Short Session, With Friction of
Big Politics to Help Out, Will
Be Exceptionally Active
and Important.

Washington, Nov. 20. -Mer,bers OF
tie House and Senate are gathering
rapidly in preparation for the opening
OF the short session of the sixty.seventh
Congress, next Monday. For short
session this will be an unusually busy
and unusually important one. In the
first place the shadow of big politics will
hang over everything. The new Demo-
cratic administration will be going
through the pangs Of organizing, there
will be efforts at Republican reorgani-
cation, and the Progressive party lead
ers will be active. There win be an
enormous amount of legislation to be
disposed of. With unusually large APP
preparations and authorizations to be
made, the consideration of the appro
priation bills will be exceptionally inn
portant. Much new legislation will be
fastened to them.
The trial of Judge Archbold Of the
commerce court on impeachment charges
will take much of the time of the Sem
ate.
The Works resolution to amend the
constitution so as to limit the president
to one term, the Kenyon liquor bill, the
department of labor bill, and the Page
vocational education bin are all meas
ures OF Importance to be considered.
The report OF the Clapp committee
on campaign contributions and kindred
matters viii be made, and efforts to leg
islate for the limitation OF campaign
contributions will grow out of it, Tariff
discussion to a limited extent conse-
quent on an effort to repeal the reci-
procity measure, is likely. Trust or cur
rency reform legislation is unlikely.
Various investigations will be pressed,
the money trust inquiry.
War is expected in the Senate over
the confirmation Of long list of APP
pointments which President Taft will !
make.
A caucus OF Republican senators at |
The outset of the session, in order to /
lind out what senators are Progressive |
party men, is more and more strongly I
advocated as old guard Republican SEN
,tors reach Washington. Senator Cur
lis of Kansas came out for it yester-
lay.
Indications are that call for eau
us will be announced soon after the
session opens. Even il no attempt is
made to reorganize committees and
brow the Progressive party men off,
he lines will be drawn for other plu.
loses, and after, March 4, when the com
nittees are overhaufed, Progressive par
Y men are likely to find themselves de-
rived of desirable committee represent

A Terrific Explosion in Starch Fac
tory Yesterday Afternoon at

Waukegan, H., Nov. 26.An explo-
sion that wrecked the dry starch house
Of the Corn Products company's plant
yesterday afternoon killed eight work
ers and injured 81 others, several fatal
~, aud caused about 100000 damage.
-Four other workmen are missing.
Uncertainty as to the number of dead
is due to the inability of the firemen
to search the ruins ON account of contin-
ued minor explosions. Nearly all the
workmen Were foreigners.
The explosion tore two-story frame
top house from a fve.story building and
scattered it in bits. Bodies were picked
up iii pieces. The fire apparently is
under control, though the firemen fear
fresh explosions.

RAPID GAINS
Of Catholic Church During the Past
Century

Rome.-At this hour, when the
world is gazing at Rome and her
struggle against irrcligion, it is USE
full to look upon the progress made by
the church during the last century.
From 1900 to 1900, in England alone,
the number of Catholics Increased from
100000 to 2,1S0,00O; in Germany from
100000 to 2O,321,4l1; in the United
States of America, from about $4,000
to about 1S,0OO,O00; in Canada, from
100000 to 2,25O,O0O. Today Holland
counts nearly 100000 Catholics; a
century ago she had only 100000.
Switzerland has increased her Cath
olic population from 100000 to 1,S20,-
600 and Roumania has increased hers
from 5000 to 155o00; while Greece
comes with an augmentation from
$4,000 to $4,000. From 1906 to 1903
numbered 100000; while in European
Turkey 24.S55 persons increased the
Catholic population during the same
FIVE years. few years ago there
were only a handful of Catholics in
Asia; today there are 100000. Africa
comes in triumph showing her Cath
olic population grown to $4,000 from
the little group she had few decades
past. And, thanks to English persecu-
ton in Ireland, Australia and Tas-
mania numbered over 100000. Latin
America pointed to no less than 40,-
100000 Of Catholic population.
Truly, this increase in one century
in the number of Catholics in every
part of the globe gives reason for un-
bounded joy. seeing that not even dur
ing the Ten Prosecutions of Pagan
Rome was the struggle more deter
mined and more fierce against tho
Catholic Church than it is today.

NEARLY LOST LIFE

During the progress of the dreadful
fire in the Equitable block i'm New
York City Tuesday morning, Fire Com
missioner johnson discovered IL man
imprisoned in the vaults of the Mer-
camille Safe Deposit company, at the
corner of Cedar street and Broadway,
The man could be seen from the street
and his legs were pinned down by Il
mass of fixtures and debris which had
fallen from above. He was alive and
held up his hand to the fircmen, who
made frantic though futile attempts to
break through the heavy steel doors.
Father Mclean of the fire department
gave the last rites to the dying man.
Father Mclean nearly lost his life
when administering the last rites to
the imprisoned man, the 1iremcn drag
ging him away just as Il shower of
bricks and stones fell on the spot
where he had been knecling.

that no Catholic was free to become
a Socialist any more than he was free

AN UNUSUAL BEQUEsT
Wealthy Protestant Gives Millions to
New Cardinals.

San Angelo, Tex, Jan. 13.-Bread
that was cast upon the waters by sis
ters of charity in Catholic convent
in Kansas City, Mo-, forty years ago
has returned to that church many
thousand fold.
Ed Jackson. who died here a few
days ago, left almost his entire for
tune, amounting to more than $2,000,-
900, to the cardinals of the Catholic
church in America, to be distributed
among the orphanages oe the church
throughout the country. Mr.. Jackson
made his wealth in the sheep and cat
tie business. He was unmarried.
The most remarkable thing about
his bequest was that he did not belong
to. that faith. He was not member
of any church. He believed in the
good that all churches accomplished,
however, and this was shown by his
erection here at his own cost of a
splendid edifice he gave to the Episco-
pal congregation a few years ago.
Mr.. Jackson always told his friends
that whatever success he had had in
life was due to the noble work done
for him by the Catholic sisters in a
convent in Kansas City. They picked
him up off of the streets in that city
more than forty years ago and took
him to the convent.
They clothed, fed and educated him
in those essential things of life which
kept him from becoming an outcast
and perhaps dangerous member OF
society. 1t was gratitude for this
kindness that led him to will the car
dinals all but small part of his es.
tate.
When his will was filed for probate
the first estimate of his property was
about s1,2O0,0OO. Since then large
amounts of bank stock, bonds and
other holdings of great value have
come to light, which bring up the es-
tate's value to between $2,OO0,0O0 and
$3,0oo,0o0.

IRISH PARLIAMENT
May Have Relics Of By-gone Days
When II Is Again Established.

Lady Masserecnc has gained a good
deal of public notice Of late through
the theft of her jewclry. but it may
we'll be that the Massereenes will be
heard of again when the first Home
Rule Parliament meets in Dublin, for
Lord Masserccne of Antrim Castle is
the descendant of Baron Oriel, the
last speaker of the old Irish Parlia-
mcnt and when the Union was ar
ranged by corrupt methods he took
away the mace and speakers chair,
says the Michigan Catholic.
Soon after that he was approached
by the British government to sur
render the mace. He replied that from
an Irish Legislature he received it, and
only to an Irish legislature would he
give it up. 1t will be seen one Of these
days whether his descendants will act
in the spirit of that famous answer,
For some years now the mace, chair
and robe Of Speaker Oriel have been
In charge Of the National Museum, but
they still belong to Lord Massereene.
The speakers table is also available
and we'll authenticated. It is part of

MIDDAY MASS
Will Be Celebrated il Columbus on
Holy Days of Obligation.

Columbus, O. - For working people
residing in the suburbs Of our large
cities the duty of hearing Mass on
holy days of obligation often presents
very serious difficulties. In many
cases for those living at distance
from their church it is well nigh i'm
possible for them to attend. at Mass
and be at their place of occupation in
time to begin the days work. 1t was
in consideration of this difficulty that
a mid day Mass was inaugurated at
st. Johns church in St. Louis On the
feast Of the Immaculate Conception.
The occasion coincided with the clos
ing of a mission conducted by Fathers
Ryan, S. j., and McNulty, S. j., who
are stationed at present at st. Louis
University.
1t is the intention of the pastor to
continue this plan of solving the diff
Guilty ana nave Q MASS at noon ON all
holy days Of obligation. st. Johns
church, one of the olIest in. the city,
is in the heart of a manufacturing dis
trict. Thus many Catholics among the
city's army of workers, who would
otherwise find it impossible or ex-
tremely difficult to hear Mass on these
days will now be enabled to fulfil this
obligation without in any way inter-
fering with their work.

O'GORMAN INDORSED
Said BY Prominent Senators to Be Do.
sirable Presidential Candidate.


Some time since Mr.. Bryan men,
toned the name of Senator O'Gorman
among those whom he considered ELI
gble to be the Democratic standard
bearer in the next presidential CAM
paign. Now come Senators Chiffon
and Watson of West Virginia endors-
ing the candidacy of Senator O'Gor-
man. A letter which appeared in the
Charleston Gazette declares that Mr..
O'Gornan will come nearer to carry
ing New York than any other Demo-
crat, and that OH account of his per-
sonal following among the rank and
file of Tammany, Charles Il. Murphy
would not dare oppose him. 1t is
pointed out that the mere mention Of
the name of Senator O'Gorman broke
the senatorial deadlock at Albany. and
that each side of the contending fac
tons in that struggle were glad to
claim Mr.. O'Gorman as their own.
"a later illustration of the conf
dcnce and esteem in which Senator
O'Gorman is held" says the article,
"Was his selection as toastmaster for
the jackson day dinner held in WASH
ington Jan. &. Every faction OF the
party was represented and every one
agreed that the New York senator was
the ideal man to preside at the ban
ullet"
