Tho officials contend that we have considerably

The secretary Of the navy recently did some
investigating to ascertain how Uncle Sam
compared In possessions OF this kind with the
leading foreign powers and the result will sur
prise many people II was disclosed that the
United States has twice as many Grst-class
home navy yards are possessed by Great
Britain, although John Bull has n navy about
double the size of ours and that furthermore
we have one more navy yard Of the second
class than Great Britain has. In other words
we have eleven first and second class navy
yards in the United States while Great Britain
is worrying along with six of the same kind.

has cost Uncle Sam pretty penny since no
began to acquire such holdings more than
century ago. The sites for some of our navy
yards and naval stations (aso coalinE sta.
uong) were gifts but Uncle Sam had to pay
good hard cash for most OF them and in the
aggregate such first investments totaled the
tidy sum of nearly three million dollars But
that was but drop In the bucket compared
to the expense OF equppng and maintaining
these bee hives OF activity. Indeed the total
cost for buildings. Improvements, machinery,
etc. for these naval institutions has been to
date more than s16O.000.O00. while for the past
hal: decade the yearly mantaihence of these
plants has involved annual drain OF more
nan twelve million dollars upon Uncle Sans
pocketbook.
The worst OF IL Is that some OF our navy
yards now in existence actually have not Bufi
Client water leading to them to allow modern
vessels to approach and lie at the docks. The
explanation OF this queer state OF affairs is 10
tory OF the republic when our coast defenses
were OF a minor character and II was thought
best TO place the navy yards some distance
back from the coast for the sake OF protection

Will Have an Irish Home.

From Dublin comes the intelligence
that Madame Navarro - best remem-
bered as Miss Mary Anderson - like
many other Americans with Irish SYM
pathies, has made up her mind to
have an Irish home. where she pro-
poses to spend at least part of the
summer season. This decision has
caused much surprise among her i'm
mediate friends, as it was believed she
had no desire to add to her domestic
responsibilities. She has fixed on a
pretty cottage, delightfully."- situated on
one of the most picturesque spots on
Galway bay, from the windows of

view of a wide expanse of the Allan

to the fact that they were not aware
of the ruling of the Congregation of
the Holy Office.
I'VE glory in the privileges, social
and religious, which we enjoy under
the Stars and Stripes and why not
assign them an honorable place in our
church celebrations? The soldiers,
who fought under this banner, and to
whom it is dear and means so much,

Where the Papal flag may be used
with propriety, we believe, there can
be no objection to the national ban

on the tabernacle or altar proper. We
hope that in future there will be no
barring of our national flag from the
church at funerals, professions and
other church functions"

Chicago has grown with giant
strides since the last national conven-

propose to show their brethren from
all over the country what has been
done in the way of genuine progress.
They will present a program of enter

This intensfication of a theme till
the text became as short as the title
arose from the fact that the subject
cries for poet. 1t eludes even such
prose as honest lovers write and ex-

Some Catholic men were walking on
a time near a once prosperous Eng

of their neighborhood had been cheap
ly acquired, with the fine ground sur
rounding it, by a poor Carmelite Su-
perior and her Sisters. 'They are not
keeping the place up; they are never
to be seen in the town, what good are
they doing?" asked one man. The
others were taken abacll, but one of
them cut the discussion short and

1t is with the human mysteries OF
true affection between man and maid

love of God; we must learn them from
pure minded lovers who are gifted
with apt and beautiful utterance. The
poet Gerald Griffin was of these, al

sought higher nuptials in heaven. Any

what the sacramento friendship of
youth and maiden should and can be,

ANTI-HOME RULE
Tactics Used BY Those Who Opposed
Irish Self Government.

At the annual meeting of the South
Westmeath Executive at Moate Sir !
Walter Nugent said: Within the last |
fortnight we have had an illustration
of the desperate straits to which our
opponents are reduced in their anti
Home Rule campaign. They have
seized upon the revival of an old Papal
Decree, and without waiting even to
see if it is intended to apply to the
United Kingdom or not, they have
proceeded to twist and interpret it
into fresh reason against granting
Ireland lf-government. The argu-
ments they have been using are, as
usual, extremely contradictory. First
they tell us that the PRONUNCIATION of
the Papal Motu Proprio of October
9th, following that of the Ne Temere,
forms part of a well-defined policy on
the part Of the Vatican, the object be-
in. to prevent the setting up of an
Irish Parliament, and in support of
that contention they point out that al
though the Roman Catholic clergy in
Ireland have always been, and are to-
day, staunch supporters of the Ma
t1onal cause, that policy did not al
ways find favor in Rome. But their
strongest argument in England has
always been that Home Rule will mean
Rome Rule! If they believe that, how
adopting a line Of policy which, they
say, is intended to defeat Home Rule?
Then, again, tn. deductions they draw
of the difference which the existence
of Home Rule Parliament would
make in the application of the De-
crees to Ireland are wholly unfounded,
The common law Of the land, both as
regards marriage and everything else,
will be exactly and precisely the same
under Home Rule Government as at
present. We cannot now and we
would not be able then - to prevent
| any religious authorities laying down
regulations for the guidance in mat
tiers of religion of their own disciples,
but we can undertake and ensure that
the law as it now exists will always
be impartially administered between
man and man, without distinction of
religion or any other consideration.
Declarations of this kind are, of course,
cerned; but in view of the campaign
which is being carried on in England,
we cannot make our position too clear.

UntimeIy Death-At SO Years of Age
He Had Accomplished Much.

On December % while out buying a
Christmas gift for his mother, Mr..
Francis O'Donohoe, youthful artist
of Dublin, was accidentally killed in
an automobile collision.
Born thirtythree years ago in the
parish of ST. Kelvin, in the City of
Dublin, Francis O'Donohoe was en-
tered on the roll of pupils at the
Christian Brothers Schools, Great
Strand street. when his parents
changed their residence to the parish
of SIS. Michael and John. At an early
age he evinced an inclination towards
an artistic career. At eleven years of
age he went to the School Of Art. and
at the age of 10 he became n Queens
prize man at South Kensington, and
won the Royal Dublin Society grant
three years in succession, and the
South Kensington Bronze Medal. At
the Taylor Art Competitions he enter
ed every year within the prescribed
age limit, and each year carried off
distinctions. Deceased then went to
Paris and finished his studies at the
Academic Julienne, under the guidance
of that eminent master, M. Benjamin
Constant.
The first commission entrusted to
him came from Rev. Father Furlong,
the parish priest of Screen, in Co.
wexford, for a set of Stations of the
Cross, which was the first set of Sta
tons of the Cross ever painted in Ire
land by an Irish artist. He was sub
ton of a painting of the Sacred Heart
for the Cathedral at Loughrea by the
then Bishop of Clonfert, Most Rev. Dr.
O'Dea. The subject of Our Divine
Lord appearing to Blessed Margaret
Mary created such an impression that
artists and connosseurs in art have
come from foreign countries to see it,
The apparitiOn appeared to Blessed
Margaret Mary when she was yet a
girl in the Presentation Convent
schools, and the Redeemer is repre-
scented, not as grown man, nor yet
as child-the more conventional rep

tanning not one homiletic word, they
