Some time ago it was an
nounced that site for the For
eign Mission Seminary of Amer
lea had been secured at Haw-
thorne, New York 1t seems,
however, that before the transfer
was made the title of the property
was disputed by John D. Rookie
Teller and, as a consequence, it
was necessary for the Directors of
the Society to seek another loca-
ton. Within the past few weeks
a tract of land containing ninety
five acres was purchased at Ossin-
ing in Westchester County, New
York. This property is located
on a hill commanding mag
nifcent view Of the Hudson River
and surroundings, and will be the
new home Of the proposed Foreign
Mission Seminary.

During the summer months the
Catholic Press was made the sub
ject of a plethora of resolutions at
different Catholic conventions.
Were we not warned by the tradi-
tional experience of Catholic edi-
tors, we would await with pleas
ant anticipation the increased
financial support which these reso-
buttons should bring forth if they
are worth more than the paper
on which they are written. As
a general rule, however, these
periodic ebullitions Of interest in
Catholic newspapers subside as
soon as the report of the resolu-
ton committee is received and
placed on file. lie a tenth part OF
those whose sentiments the reso-
luton is supposed to express were
to subscribe to Catholic newspa-
pers the work of future resolution
committees would dwindle almost
to the vanishing point.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
THE DRUNKARD's FUNERAL.

His days were threescore years and
seventeen. He lived; he suffered; he
labored; he sought to climb; he fell.
Death at last has claimed him for his
own. The bell is tolling. They are
taking him away.
The minister could speak no word
of comfort, and the three tall, calm
faced daughters, the only heritage
that he has left, hid within their
hearts the awful hopelessness Of
their grief; but the small bent figure
of the wife who loved him shook with
anguish irrepressible.
The lesson of his life, writes E. L.
S. in the Advance, was echoed in the
text: $50 teach us to number of
days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom" There were not many
in the church-only few old neigh
bors; a child, white-lipped with his
first sight of death; a man or two who
had tipped the social glass in many
jovial bout; a young girl to whose
mind, glowing with light and health,
the solemn service seemed a grue-
some thing. The casket, heaped with
flowers, was pitiful, as though in vain
attempt they sought to hide the faults
and failings that had wrecked the life
within
Who knows to what the failure of
his life was due? Will parents, long
since dead, be held accountable for
this mans fall? Did some willful
youth in his ancestral line acquire and
leave to him the deadly appetite that
dragged him down? To me a voice
liz speaking: why did We let him
die? Why saved We not the life for
whom / gave my OWN" Shall go
forth to bear the message of living
Christ? Or shall I think these
thoughts and then 60 back unto my
daily round until another time God
speaks in falling clods upon a coffin or
in grief-crushed hearts of mourners
whose love knows neither comfort,
hope, nor faith?

Fifteen minutes spent each day
in the devout recitation Of the
Rosary means more for the spir-
itual welfare Of the individual
than any one realizes who has
not experienced it's salutary
effects. Who is so busy that he
cannot give a quarter Of an hour
to this devout practice? Many
people spend more time than that
in idle gossiping and vain amuse-
ment.

A crusade of Christian decency
has been inaugurated by the
women of Spain not only against
the grosser exhibitions and publ

canons Of propriety but also
against whatever in dress or GUS

Christian modesty. The move
ment began some time ago at
Orihuela and has spread rapidly.
A similar crusade might be un-
dertaken by the Christian women
of this country. It is badly need

The love which is given as reward
in heaven is always greater in every
one than that which had been given
him on earth to acquire merit. And
not only will each one in particular
have more love in heaven than he
ever had on earth, but also the ex-
ercise Of the least charity that may
be in heavenly life viii be much
sweeter and excellent, generally
speaking, than that of the greatest
charity that is or has ever been In
this mortal life.-St. Francis de Sales.

FINDS AN HONEST POLICEMAN.
Modern Diogenes Discovers Virtue in
 the Norwich Department.

Contrary to the popular conception of what the police may be in some other cities which we do not name Norwich may beast of an honest po- liceman. Overton Howard went shop ping Saturday night and he writes The Bulletin of his experience. He went into the Brooklyn shoe store, he states, and he bought pair of boots. They cost him S2.75 and, he continues, in putting his pocketbook in his pocket he missed putting it in and lost it.
 And when he missed it he went back to look for it, not expecting to find it. And To, an officer of the law in the large crowd met him and when he had made his troubles known the officer Inquired how much he had lost and learned that it was s4 and some cents. And the officer gave the pocketbooli and the money back to the seeker thereafter. So Overton rejoiced and wrote to The Bulletin. He headed his article Lost and Found and his last exclamation was this: "Oh, what hon. est police 1 must say!"

ONE JAMES PARKER
 DIED IN HOME FOR AGED
Search for Heir to Louisa M. Parker's Estate Leads to This Announce ment.

As the result of an announcement to the eeet that a fortune awaited E. James Parker, who left his home in Norwich 14 years ago and who Is thought to have removed to Provi- dence, taking an assumed name, it was learned Saturday that a James Parker had lived for a number of years at the Home for the Aged, conducted by the Little Sisters of the Poor at Pawtueket. Inquiry at that instifu- tion Saturday elicited the information that James Parker was admitted to the Home in 1899, but had died last June According to the information he gave the Mother Superior at the Home, Parker was born in England in 1883, and had a wife whose maiden name was ElizaOe Folsom. He was of an eccentric character, it is claimed and it is thought some motive might induce him to refrain from divulging all the facts concerning himself.
 It was also learned that about f1f- teen years ago a James Parker was employed by J. Arnold Whipple on a farm in Cumberland. This man went away some time later and nothing was heard about him for number of years, until he visited Charles w. Bishop, a nephew of MT. Arnold, in Pawtucket MT. Bishop learned that the man, was living at the Home and other than receiving a few post cards nothing more was heard from him.

 Reported violations of the statutes regarding this particular department of the pure food supply are rare, and this particularly fragrant case is not regarded as indicating that the ship ment of diseased meat into Norwich is at all frequent, but it is the intention of the health officer to see that the danger of infection from such sources is reduced to a minimum.

For Scorch.

If linen has been scorched in the ironing the marks may be removed and white soap, moistened with lit tie vinegar and the juice from a boiled by making a paste of F'uller's earth onion. If this mixture is spread upon the marks they will quickly disap- pear, and no stain should be visible after the linen has been washed.
 Sometimes it will be found sufficient to rub over the place that has been scorched half a raw onion. Afterward the linen should be soaked ip cold wa ter, and after it has soaked for some time the stain will probably have dis appeared.
