Declaring that the conditions under
which students in the Manila profess
sional schools conducted by the United
States Government eat and sleep are
wretchedly and pitiably inadequate.
Rev. Philip n. Finnegan, S. J., chaplain
OF Bilibid Prison. in the Philippines, Is
here for the purpose OF raising S15O,OOO
to build a large dormitory for the ac-
commodatiOn OF 500 students The
proposed institution is to be strictly
nonsectarian.
Father Finnegan is accompanied by
Rev. John J. Tompkins, S. J., and both
clergymen will remain in the United
States about three months, during
which time they expect to raise the re-
quired amount. Father Finnegan is
stopping at the rectory OF St. Aloysius'
Church.
1t is the plan Of the two priests,
both OF whom are New Workers. to
construct a four-story concrete build
ing, patterned along the general lines
of the Y. NJ. c. A. In the establish
ment they would have a gymnasium,
swimming pool. and study rooms.
There Is immediate need OF such an in
stitution in Manila, Father FInnegan
states. because the educational oppor-
tunities in Manila have increased.

students. who come from all parts OF
the island, are hopelessly inadequate.
In an interview given to The Wash
ington Herald. Father Finnegan said:
Manila has become a great educa-
tional center. The city has a univer-
sity. law school. medical college, acad-
emy OF arts. normal college, and high
schools. More than 1000 students
come there to study. and find II i'm
possible to get accommodations. They
have to put up with the most wretched
rooms and fare. and exposed to every
temptation OF the city.
Those young men are the future
leaders OF the Filipinos. They are to
mold the coming generations and make
them valuable and useful American
citizens. The least we can do Is 10

who have no homes in or near Manila

Another one OF Beecher's peculiarities
was his habit OF, wedding out his pock-
cts on railroad trains. His pockets were
always bulging with letters and papers
which accumulated rapidly. These were
not carefully perused and assorted until
the great lecturer was comfortably seat
ed in a railroad coach speeding over the
steel rails.
Goes to England.
In 1853 Beecher went to England to
deliver a series of wonderful lectures.
These direct talks with the English peo-
pie turned the tide OF British sentiment
with respect to the civil war from the
Confederate TO the Union side. Beecher
commenced the English lecture tour on
October 9, in Manchester, and concluded
1t on October 20 in Exeter Hall. Lon
don. In that short time he rendered for
the United States an inestimable service;
he secured for the Union cause the SYM
pathy Of the people OF Great Britain.
In 1886 he made a second trip to Eng
land, where he was accorded magnin-
cent reception. During his four-mouth
visit, he delivered fifty-eight lectures,
preached seventeen sermons. and made
nine specCnte. ne AAOAAA NAAS ~
lures netted him Sll.6O0.
Beecher is looked upon as a famous
preacher and lecturer, rather than one OF
Americas llterati, but, nevertheless, he
was an author OF distinction. During his
lifetime he published thirty-ive volumes.
His most noted work is undoubtedly The
Star Papers" which were first printed in
installments in The Independent. They
received their title from the fact that the
articles were signed with an Rsterisk. The
papers are full OF beauty. are rich in apt
illustration, and are pervaded by a
strangely wholesome atmosphere.
Beecher read much about trees and
plants and flowers for diversion. His
summer residence at Peeksxill was a
veritable fairyland OF flowers and mag
nihcent shade trees
Many volumes of Beecher's sermons
were published without his sanction.
When in Wales a cleI gyman with whom
he was cOnversing cOmplimented the
great preacher on the publication Of
Life Thoughts" and Royal Truths"
Royal Truths" exclaimed Beecher.
II never wrote such a book"
The Welsh clergyman Immediately
brought out the little volume and showed
it to Beecher. The eminent preacher
looked the book over hastily and then
said:
These are my sermons all right. but
never before saw or heard tell Of Royal
Truths

Dies in Brooklyn.
The great clergyman died suddenly
from spoplexy March S, 1887. in a house
in Hicks Street. Brooklyn Up to the
time Of his fatal illness he had not ex-
rerienced a sick day during his entire
life. He was unconscious during his
last hours, and gesticulated wildly, as
II ne were in the heat Of discussion on
the political platform. He was buried
in Greenwood Cemetery. Thousands
thronged the streets while the funeral
cortege bore his body to its final rest
ing place.
The literary style OF Beecher, with its
wealth OF beauty, richness OF illustration.
captivating natuIalness, and simple di-
rectness, cannot be better illustrated
than by the following selection from

Wife Who Macs.

The worst thing that the bad fairy
could wish upon a man is a nagging,
fault-fnding wife. The most savory
of the dishes prepared by her hand
tastes fiat and stale If served up with
the sauce of her complaints. and the
cosiest Of homes is place of unrest
If it is the storehouse of her recrim-
nations. Even If there is Just cause
for jealousy, nagging is an aggrava-
ton rather than a cure.
It breeds the spirit of antagonism
and the case of the injured party ia
hurt rather than helped.
The only safe cure for strayins at.
fections is to make oneself so attrac.
tive, SO agreeable, that the desired
love and attention is irresistibly held
to its original mornings. Sometimes
sudden evidence of indifference
awakes the Grant one to the fact that
the straying may be mutual. Some
times renewed outbursts of affection,
OF care and interest, is the tonic of
weakened ardor. Sometimes splendid
results are accomplished by wearing
smart and becoming clothes and
brushing up the wits and vivacity.
