FIELD MASS
Held on Washington Monu.
ment Grounds Sun
day.

A memorial field mass in honor
of the dead of the Spanish-American
war was celebrated on the Washing
ton monument grounds last Satur-
day in the presence of Cardinal
Gibbons and throng of people that
numbered thousands. The service
was held under the auspices of the
Admiral George Dewey Camp,
United Spanish War Veterans. The
veterans and the Fourth Degree
members of the knights OF Colum-
bus, who came TO Washington for
the unveiling of the Columbus
memorial, acted as an escort of
honor for the Cardinal and the Off
GERS of the mass from st. Patrick's
church to the improvised sanctuary
in the shadow of Washington monu-
ment. The Rev. Charles NJ. Bart
was the celebrant of the mass. Mgr.
William T. Russell, pastor OF st.
Patrick's church, delivered a sermon
on Patriotism. He decried any
suspicion that a Catholic was not alb
solutely true to his country. ''No
man." he declared, "can be a loyal
Catholic who is not loyal TO the flag
OF his country. Government Is
authority" Louisville people who
have returned from Washington say
the field mass was the most impos-
ing sight they ever witnessed.

BOOSTING.
Macl<ln Councils Sunset
Excursion Next
Month.

Mackin Council, Y. M. l., held a
spirited meeting Monday night at
which much business was trans
acted. The Social Club announced
that Saturday, July 6, had been set
as the date for the annual sunset
excursion up the Ohio river, and
that in addition to dancing and
many other enjoyable features
there would be a vaudeville bill Of
SURPRISING excellence. The club
urged the council to assist in making
this excursion the best of the season.
President Adams occupied the chair
and dispatched the business
promptly, in order that a number of
committees might organize for work
and be in position to report Monday
night. One of the most important
of these will relate to the part the
Y. M. /. will take when the Catholic
Federation meets here. The sugges-
ton that meets with most favor is
that all the councils of the Ken
lucky and Indiana jurisdictions
unite and form one grand division
in the big parade that will precede
the opening of the convention. Re
turns are still coming in from the
opera, and therefore the committee
was delayed in making its final re-
port, which promises to be most
gratifying in every way.

"OUR NARY"
Famous American Actress
An Enthusiastic Home
Ruler.

Though many were aware that
Nine. Navarro (our Mary Anderson)
had for quite a number of years taken
deep interest in social and char
table work among the Irish poor,
few suspected until recently that she
was an enthusiastic home ruler. AL
though some of the most eminent
women in society. failed to secure
seats in the ladies' gallery of the
House of Commons to hear the debate
on the home rule bill, the famous
actress was a conspicuous figure there
every night She and Mrs. ]. w.
Mackey occupied adjoining seats and
were enthusiastic in their expressions
Of admiration for the eloquence of
the Irish members. Sometimes they
even found difficulty in restraining
themselves from marking their ap-
proval by applause-an action which
would of course have caused their
immediate removal The presence of
Mary Anderson in the gallery is en-
tirely due to the self-sacrifice of Mrs.
John Redmond, who managed to Sc
cure seat through the agency,
peculiarly enough, of an English Tory
member-her own husband being un-
lucky enough to draw a blank in the
ballot that is held for seats in the
limited accommodation of the gall
lery. 1t required fine spirit of self
abnegation for Mrs. Redmond to for
felt the opportunity OF hearing her
husband on such an auspicious and
historic occasion. but she has a very
high regard for Mime. Navarro, so
she gave her the pass very cheerfully.

Rough Riding Tactics by
Committee.
LocalDemOcrats Under No obi
cations to Support Nc
Crcary's Appointee.
SHfRLEY WITHOUT OPPOSITION

The final action of the National
Republican Committee at Chicago
seems to be effectively putting a
quietus on Roosevelts Presidential
aspirations via the Republican nom
ination route, as the Taft steam
roller is working very smoothly in
spite of the frantic howls of Teddy's
rough rider and circus following
contingent. Throughout the whole
contest the Roosevelt followers have
been bowling fraud, even in cases
where their representatives on the
committee voted against their
claims, Dick Knott in the Evening
Post being one of the loudest in
face of the fact that Judge Burnam,
the Kentucky representative on the
committee and a strong Roosevelt
adherent, voted in several instances
to seat the Taft delegates. The
Posts bitter attitude against Presi-
dent Taft makes one smile when it
is remembered that the Post carried
beautiful little four-line stanza at
the head of it's column for two
years eulogizing Taft and not '1et
foolish hands mix or mar" meaning
Taft should be left to guide the
country's welfare, etc.
1t is becoming more apparent
daily that the Republican nomina-
tion will be an empty honor, as in
their hopelessly disorganized condi-
tion they will have no chance to de-
feat the Democratic nominee, who in
all probability will be Speakr

Qler'S is 10 tffc TN q
citizens of New York what the army
is to our country. You are the
guardians of life and property. No
braver or finer body of men ever
marched up Fifth avenue than the
policemen who marched on May 18.
With it ALI you have to stand criti-
cism; 1t is the spirit of the age to
find fault. Take the record of the
work for the year past and place it
alongside of the criticism. Take that
Bo-called wave of crime, that typhoon
Of noise that drove nearly all our
citizens into hysteria. The Commis-

your are. The roll of honor unveiled
last month bears the names of the
heroes who died in the defense of the

people. Men who died fighting not
on the battlefield nor to the sound Of
martial music, with companies side
by side, but alone in the dark street,
against a sneaking coward with a
gun in his hand It is early in the
morning. A shot is heard, followed
by a cry for help. A policeman
rushes up two flights of stairs, hears
sounds within, demands admittance.
The door suddenly opens, shot. and
then another, from the towards pis-
tol is fired, and brave Patrolman
Lynch drops dead on the threshold.
Two others follow the murderer, not
withstanding the bullets that fly
around them, ready to die for duty's
sake. So through the line, year after
year, names are added to the roll.
We are here today at this memorial
service, TO weave a wreath of honor
to their memory, to offer a prayer
