The Catholic Herald Of India is
authority for the statement that
the new Premier Of the Chinese
Republic, Lee Tseng Tsiang, is a
Catholic, and staunch friend Of
the Catholic Church in her mis-
sionary work among the natives.
He began his official career at the
Chinese Legation in Russia and
was appointed special envoy to
the Dutch Court in 1906. He
owes his conversion to his wife
who is a native of Belgium. It
is said that the great Sun, the
first President Of the Chinese Re-
public, intended to join the Cath
Ollie Church, but has not really
done so yet. Of late years Cathol-
icism has made wonderful prog
ress among the people, especially
in Southern China, and the pros
poets for the future are very
bright. The fact that the Prime
Minister is a Catholic will, no
doubt, facilitate the work Of the
Catholic Church among the Chin,

THE PRICE OF A DRINK.

"Threepence a glass;" Does any one
think
That that is really the price of a
drink?
"Threepence a glass;" hear you say;
"Why, that isn't very much to pay"
All, no, indeed; it's very small sum
You are passing over, twixt finger and
thumb;
And If that were all that you gave
away,
1t wouldn't be very much to pay.
The price of drink? Let him decide
Who has lost his courage and lost his
pride,
And lies a groveling heap of clay,
Not far removed from beast, today.
The price of drink? Let that one tell
Who sleeps tonight in a murderer's
cell,
And feels within him the fires of hell.
Honor and virtue, love and truth,
All the glory and pride of youth,
Hopes of manhood and wreath of fame,
High endeavor and noble aim
These are the treasures thrown away
AS the price of drink from day to
day.
"Threepence a glass;" How Satan
laughed
AS Ger the bar the young Manipulated
The beaded liquor, for the demon knew
The terrible work that drink would
do:
And ere the morning the victim lay
With his life-blood swiftly ebbing
away;
And that was the price he paid, alas!
For the pleasure of taking a social
glass.
The price of drink! If you want to
know
What some are willing to pay for it,
Through that wretched tenement over
there
With dingy windows and broken stair,
Where foul disease like vampire
crawls

mouldy walls.
There poverty dwells with her hungry
brood,
Wild-eyed as demons for lack of food;
There shame, in corner, crouches
low;
There violence deals it's cruel blow;
And innocent ones are thus accursed
To pay the price of another's thirst
s''Threepence a glass;" Oh, if that
were all,
The sacrifice would, indeed, be small,
But the moneys worth is the least
amount
We pay; and whoever will keep &C
count
Will learn the terrible waste and
blight
That follows the ruinous appetite.

FEAST OF ALL SAINTS.

All Saints Day, as the name
indicates, is a day set apart by the
Church for the purpose of honor
ing all the saints, known and un-
known, whether their memory is
commemorated on any other feast
of the year or not. This custom
of honoring all the saints in
heaven can be traced back to the
early centuries of Christianity.
In the beginning it was customary
to set apart special days in honor
of the martyrs only, but gradu-
ally other saints were added to
the list, and when it became inn
possible to give each one a special
feast, one day was set apart in
memory of all. At first the date
varied from year to year; but in
the eighth century, Pope Gregory
III, fixed the anniversary for No
vember first. For some time it
was observed only in Rome; but
in the following century Gregory
" extended the festival to the
entire Church.
On All Saints day we are af-
forded an opportunity Of showing
our veneration for the saints
whose names are unknown to us,
and who, no less than those whose
names are familiar, have fought
the good fight and are now in
the enjoyment of the beatifc
vision Of God. We fondly hope
that the majority, if not all, of
our relatives and friends are now
numbered among the saints in
glory. This day, therefore, is for
all Christians a family festival on
which, in spirit, they may visit
the mansions Of bliss and com
mune with relatives who are now
enjoying the reward of the just.
This feast suggests the thought
that those whom the Church hon.
ors on this day were men and
women like ourselves, subject to
the same frailties and placed In
similar conditions of life upon
earth. They encountered tempta.

THE HOLY SOULS.

The souls of the faithful de-
parted who are expiating in Pur-
gatory the temporal punishment
due to their sins have always been
an object of special solicitude on
the part OF, the Church. She ap-
peals to her children to be ever
mindful Of the needs Of those suf-
fering souls whose period Of pur-
cation they can shorten by the
offering of prayers and good
works in their behalf.
To emphasize her unwearying
solicitude for the holy souls the
Church designates the month of
November as time of special de-
votion towards them. After pay
ing tribute to the unnumbered
saints in glory, she turns imme-
diately to their exiled brethren
and, on the Feast Of All Souls, es-
pecially, invokes heavens aid and
bids us transport ourselves in
spirit to their place Of purgation
and pour forth our prayers that
they upon whom 'Fthe night has
come in which no man can work
may be granted speedy release
from their pains.
The souls in Purgatory, having
passed away from earth, are no
longer in a state Of probation.
Hence, they can do nothing to
help themselves. They must be
resigned to their fate and in pa
tience and suffering await the day
Of liberation which will dawn
only when the dross of life s jour
ney has been burned away.
Upon us, their brethren of the
Church Militant, they rely with
confidence for the speedy close
of their period Of exile. Their
petitions for help fall upon the
ears Of the true Christian in plead
ing tones that will not be silenced.
''Have pity on me, have pity on
me, at least you, my friends, be-
cause the hand Of the Lord hath
touched me- Affection and piety
urge us to harken to their piteous
appeal for Masses, prayers and
good works that they may obtain
an early release from their suf-
fering. They have the hottest
claims upon our Christian charity,
They are bound to us by the ties
of a common faith and the tender
est bonds Of nature. Fathers and
mothers plead for remembrance;
brothers and sisters, relatives and
friends, beg for help. If we dare
refuse them, then religion has lost
it's meaning for us. Faith teaches
us that our prayers can help them
and it gives us the assurance that
they, On reaching the haven OF
eternal happiness, will not be un.
mindful Of those who came tC
their aid in time Of direst need
For our own sakes, therefore
if for no. loftier motive, let us moi
forget those who have gone before
us with the sign of faith, anc
buoyed up with the hope of
glorious resurrection. AS they
plead now, so also we shall one
day plead, and the response the1
given to our cry of distress vii
be proportional to what we are
now willing to do to mitigate the
pains Of our departed brethren
and advance the hour of theil
final liberation.

Ancestor worship is tremendous
factor in Japanese life. In every
house there is the little altar on which
are kept the wooden tablets or ceno-
taphs of those who have gone before.
On that altar incense is burned at re-
gular intervals and offerings are daily
made to the departed spirits.
The dead are never for moment
forgotten. The laws of the land take
into account their rights as well as
those of the living When the late
Mikado gave the credit for Japan's
victory over Russia ito the virtues
of our Imperial Ancestors" he spoke
in terms ineligible to the lowliest
and humblest of his subjects. For is
it not matter of common belief that
the spirits of those who have gone
before are constantly near to guard
and guide, to bless and comfort those
who are faithful to the duties and OBJ
legations of ancestor worship? Pray
ers for the dead and worship of the

of the national religion. Widows who
consecrate their lives to praying for
deceased husbands are regarded as
the noblest of the sex. These widows
are the real nuns of Japan and though
they live in their own homes, their
devotion to the dead causes them to
be treated with religious reverence
and respect.
In her delightful book, "a Diploma
lists Wife in JAPAN" Mrs. Hugh Fras-
er, devout Catholic, tells the follow
ing touching story:
after an elaborate lunch we wom-
en- rose from the table and my hostess
beckoned me to follow her. I knew
whittier she was leading me-to look
at the portrait of her oldest son, a
brave and brilliant boy, who had died
while at school in Europe, and whom
| she never forgets even when sur
rounded by all her other children.
her smile, grave note in her gentle
voice, as of pain accepted and for
given. I followed her in silence and her
three-year-old daughter toddled along
at her side. A little off the hall we
entered a small quiet room, where,
near a window, so that the daylight
illumined it, was the portrait, a life
size head of the dead boy. There
were fresh flowers on either side, in
sense-sticks burning fragrantly, and in
front on small table, like those used
in temples for presenting offerings, a
collection of tiny plates containing
atoms of food from all the complicat-
ed French dishes of the lunch, from
which we had just risen. 1t is some
years since the boy died, but from
every meal partaken of in the great
house, his share has been set aside
he is not forgotten

A Lesson for Catholics.

I have dwelt at some length upon
the devotion of the Japanese for their
dead because, mixed up as it is with
superstition, it is not without it's les
sons for Catholics who are enjoined by
Mother Church to cherish a tender
dead. In every nation under the
sun there is a certain amount of an
cestor worship. In Japan it leads to
practical results, from a moral stand
point, for it is incumbent upon the
descendants, and particularly upon the
head of the house, not to bring dis
credit upon those who have gone be-
fore, but on the contrary to initiate
their virtues. The statues and me-
MORALS of great soldiers and states
men in Christian lands are form of
ancestor worship, which is not with
out it's beneficial results. The Cath
Ollie Church, in it's beautiful doctrine
of the Communion of Saints goes a
step further and asserts that there is
living actual bond of communion
between the living and the dead. Our
dead departed, who have entered into
the blessedness of life eternal, can
pray for us and we by our prayers
and SURFACES can bring comfort and
solace to those who are expiating the
sins committed in the flesh. There
are some things, too, which we might
copy with profit from the pagan JAP
anese. Care for the graves and the
tombs of the dead is one of these
things. People who neglect the graves
Of their dear departed seldom or new

mounds tell their own eloquent stories
of neglected fathers, mothers, chill

souls no Mass is ever offered up, no
prayer ever said and who are as COM

EAST WALL OF
TONOPAH BLOCK
CRUMBLES DOWN
MASSIVE PILE OF ROCK CRASH
ES TO STREET EARLY
YESTERDAY

The east wall Of the Tonopah
block, which was destroyed by fiIe
last Monday morning, fell to the
ground yesterday morning. Forum
nately no people we're injured for
as 1t happened no person was in
the immediate vicinity OF the wall
at that time.
Quite a crowd was gathered at
the corner of the State Bank and
Trust building discussing the prob
ability of the wall falling. when the
huge mass OF stone came crumbling
to the ground. Since the fire the
wall has been bulging and yesterday
morning IT was leaning far out Of
position.
The western wall will probably
fall inward within the next day or
two as it is far out Of plumb at
the present time. According to the
direction in which it is leaning, the
wall will fall upon the ruins of the
building. and there appears no dan
ger of any injury being sustained
by pedestrians, should the mass of
stone tumble down.
Yesterday afternoon ii was fear
ed that the Brokers Exchange
building would fall and ropes were
stretched across Brougher avenue
at ST. Patrick street and also at
Central street to warn pedestrians
that 1t was not safe to traverse that
section. This structure shows q
slight warp in the front but 1t is
not believed that it will fall.
