ing the machinery and installing

effective and economical manner

A sad accident occurred on
Thursday evening that resulted
in the fracture OF a leg and two
ribs of Mr.. Levy, proprietor OF
the Castel Hotel. In company
with George Key he was cross
ing the street between the depot
and the Bellevue hotel. DR..
and Mrs: Morehouse were coming
down Fourteenth street in
their Ford roadster at a slow pace
Before turning the corner on Min
er street they blew the horn several
times. Mr.. Levy was on the
crossing and those in the car
thought he was going to keep on
and turned the machine 20 ~ to
20 behind him. He stopped and
the machine struck him with the
above results. It was evidently
an unavoidable accident accord
ing to several who saw It. DR..
Morehouse took him in the car
to the hotel aud gave him all pos

AVIATION IN IRELAND.

September aviation activities in
Ireland have given a big spurt to
Irish enthusiasm for aerial enter
prises. Incidentally they have
brought grist to the mill of one or
two enterprising farmers. One OF
the most amusing cases was that or
two aeronauts named Valentine and
Ashley, who entered on a flight for
an aero club prize from Dublin to
Belfast and back. Neither accom-
plished the task, owing to gales, and
Valentine met such a fixture OF air
currents Just outside Newry, the
frontier town" of Ulster, that he
only managed TO land In a field with
difficulty. Then he hiked back to
Dublin by automobile TO make some
fresh arrangements. When he re-
turned next day to see after his aero
plane he found the farmer whose
field II was I'm running fine busi-
ness, though IL was Sunday. The
machine was carefully shielded from
view by tarpaulins, and as local In
terest was great the farmer was
charging a nickel apiece to all who
wanted to examine II. When Valen-
tine reached the gate the entrance
fee was demanded OF him, too, and
II was only after full proof OF
Identity had been given that he was
allowed TO see his own aeroplane
free.

IRISH BOY SCOUTS.

Sir Baden-Powell views with no
inconsiderable amount of appre-
hension the success of the Boy Scout
movement in Ireland. On his return
recently from his trip TO the United
States and Canada he found to his
amazeemnt that the objects OF the
English and Irish scouts were by no
means identical. He discovered that
while the British section were true
and patriotic Britons, the Irish
youngsters were band of young
rebels who cared nothing about the
military glories or achievements of
England. Many people besides the
founder OF the scout movement find
Il difficult TO understand how the
Irish lads can be anything else than
true Britons. But the fact is they
are a product OF the Gaelic League
and Athletic Association, an organi-
zation that instills into their youth
ful minds views and aspirations not
altogether complimentary to Eng
land. Their bands ignore "God
Save the King and Rule Britannia; -

WHAT INFLUENCED THEM.

The late Henry Clay Dillon, one OF
the most distinguished converts in
this country in recent years, was fond
of describing how he was forced into
the church by friends and foes" says
the Ave Maria. His road 20 Rome
was certainly an unusual one. Long
before / had even thought of becom-
ing a Catholic the A. p AS declared
I was one, and had seen me COM
muning at the altar rail. The more
/ denied It the more they repeated
it. At length it occurred to me that
church which excited the hostility
of such men must be a very good
church, and that her doctrine must
be true II no weapons better than
forgery and perjury could be brought
against them. l am indebted both to
my friends and my enemies. Both
have helped TO bring me into the
church The friends led, the enc
mics drove, and so / got in sooner
than otherwise would" Yet an
other convert, when asked by what
books or by whose preaching he had
been influenced to join the church
replied: by no books nor by any
ones preaching. / was converted by
my wife's practising"

GONE TO REST.
Mrs. Elizabeth McEIIiott
SucCunbS to Long
illness.

Mrs. Elizabeth McElliott, seventy
four years of age and one of the
oldest members of st. Louis Ber-
trand's parish, was called to her eter-
nal rest Tuesday morning following
an illness contracted four months
ago. Mrs. McElliott was the widow
of Stephen McElliott, who has been
dead for several years. Born in Ire
land, she came to this country when
a child, and for nearly fifty years
she has been a resident Of this city.
After a long, busy and useful life
Mrs. McElliott died as she had lived,
honored, trusted and loved. She
reared her own monument while she
lived in the hearts of all who knew
her. Her life was completed if work
we'll done constitutes completion.
Her Christian life was beautiful from
its beginning to its close, throughout
all the vicissitudes and sorrow that
she met in the way her faith in God
never wavered. But she has left us
and today the autumn leaves fall
upon another grave that hides from
our sight all that is mortal of true
and noble woman. She is survived
by five sons and three daughters,
Lieut.. Edward McElliott, of the
Highland sub-station; Stephen Nc
Elliott, of Dougherty & McElliott,
undertak k-rs; John McElliott, Mrs.
John C. Sheehan, Mrs. Daniel Dough-
erty, Mrs. Edward Callahan, wife of
Lieut.. Edward Callahan, of the Third
district police station, and Misses
Mamie and Mary McElliott. The flu
neral was held Thursday morning
and was the largest that for a long
time has taken place from st. Louis
Bertrand's church.

ENTHUSED.
Miss Mary Corcoran New
Leader of tiibernian
Auxiliary.

At a largely attended and en-
thusiastic meeting of the Ladies'
Auxiliary, A. o. H., at Falls City
Hall on Wednesday night Miss Mary
Corcoran was elected. to the high Of
flee of County President. Miss Cor
coran has served as President of the
local division for the past two years
with ability and success, bringing the
membership up to over 200, and the
honor was given her in recognition
of her splendid services. She sue
ceeds Miss Fanny Kennedy, who is
now State President. Another cleo
tion will be soon held by the
Ladies' Auxiliary, when officers will
be chosen to serve for the next two
years. At the meeting Wednesday
night novel plan was adopted to
increase the fund in the treasury,
which has been under a heavy ex-
pense for the recent conventions and
parade. A movement was also start
ed to introduce an Insurance feature
that will be of great benefit to the

only the Orange element in Ulster
and a few outside of this organiza-
ton are seriously opposing home
rule. To say that home rule means
Catholic ascendancy in Ireland, as
Rev. w. Mclean preached at the
Belfast meeting, is absurd. The fact
is there is Protestant ascendency in
Ireland now everywhere. Although
80 per cent. Of the inhabitants are
Catholics, statistics show that more
than IS per cent. of the official posi-
tions are titled by Protestants.
To sum up: The home rule move
ment has nothing to fear from the
Unionists and Orangemen Of Belfast
and outer parts of Ulster. Their
threats about never submitting to the
domination of an Irish Parliament is
regarded by observant men as all
brag and bluster. When the time
comes for home rule, and that will,
please God, be shortly, the Orange
men will submit because they will
have to do so in the face of con-
stituted authority. They have no
moral ground to stand upon. Fight
ing against the political ascendancy
of their own country they are not
respected by the men of England or
of any other country. They may
cavort around and threaten to
throw the crown into the Boyne"
and all that, but sensible men laugh
at them.
Evidently the first great idea to
keep up the delusion of grim, de-
termined Ulster has been abandoned
and the resistance hereafter will be
only for effect.

HAPPY UNION.

Thursday a happy marriage was
consummated at ST. Paups church,
when Miss Frances e. Seivert became
the bride of Robert Abel, formerly
of this city but now of st. Louis.
The young couple had been sweet
hearts for years, and their union was
not a surrrise'to their friends. Miss
Seivert was connected with. Kauf-
man, straus & Co., and is widely
known in East End Catholic circles.
The lucky groom left Louisville sew
eral years ago and now holds a re-
sp0nsible position with one OF the
largest printing houses in st. Louis.
Following the ceremony the bride
and groom were rendered a recep-
tion at the residence OF Chris Abel,
where they received the congratula-
tions OF their friends and relatives,
who wish them luck and fortune in
their new life.
