william A. Bachman, retired
carpenter and aged and respected
resident OF the West End, was found
dead In his bed. early on Friday
morning of last week at his home,
292S Bank street. The sad discov-
cry was made. by Thomas Bachman,
who had gone to the room to call
his father. Mr.. Bachman had suf-
fered for some time with asthma,
and this, coupled with grief over the
death OF his wife seven weeks be-
fore, was the cause OF his death.
Surviving him are three sons, Will
lam, Henry and Thomas Bachman.
The largely attended funeral took
place Sunday afternoon from the
Church OF Our Lady, the Rev.
Father Commit conducting the sol
emn services. For the doubly be-

What This wol d Owes to
st. Vincent de
PauI.

Wednesday was the feast OF St.
Vincent de Paul, patron of the
church's greatest charitable society,
and known throughout the world as
'the friend Of the poor" st. Vim
cent de Paul was born A. ID. 1875.
In after years, when a wiser of the
Queen and oracle of the church in
France, he loved to recount how in
his youth he had guarded his fathers
pigs. Soon after his ordination he
was captured by Corsairs and carried
into Barbary. He converted his
regenade master and escaped with
him to France. Appointed Chaplain
General of the galleys of France, his
tender charity brought hope into
those prisoners where hitherto
despair had reigned. A mother
mourned her imprisoned son, when
Vincent put on his chains and took
his place at the oar and gave him
to his mother. His charity en-
braced the poor, young and old. The
poor man ignorant and degraded
was to him the image of one who
became "as a leper and no man."
Turn the medal" he said. "and you
will then see Jesus Christ" He
went through the streets Of Paris at
night, seeking the children who
were left there to die. Once robbers
rushed upon him, thinking he car
ried treasure, but when he opened
his cloak they recognized him and
fell at his feet. The Society of st.
Vincent, the Priests of the Mission,
and $4,000 Sisters of Charity still
comfort the afflicted with the char
ity of st. Vincent de Paul. He died

says his Protestant biographer, ''is
the founder of all the organized
charity in the worldrsa5ax' - tribv'\
which seems to ke boul -
of enthusiastic admiration. But u
we study the systematic charities of
our times we can find that all will
be traced to the brain and heart of
that grand old saint. Even if the
church had not written his immortal
epitaph on the page of her glory,
the voice of humanity would have
sung his praises. The rude dust
that held his captive soul on earth
has become a shrine where pilgrims
pray, an honored relic on Christian
altarg

"Are the Belfast people really so
afraid of home rule that they will
resist it by .force?" he was asked.
Nonsense, he replied. 1--WE
leaders have to talk as we do to
satisfy the extremists among our
followers, and of course we don't
want home rule, because we think
things are we'll enough as they are.
We are going to fight to the last
minute, but we are not a bit afraid
of it, and as soon as the bill be-
comes a law, as it is bound to do, we
are going to jump in and get as
many men as we can into that new
Parliament in Dublin"
Also significant is the attitude OF
the great Hamilton family, of which
the Duke of Abercorn is the head.
The Duke is the greatest nobleman
in ireland and his family since the
days of King James III. has been
noted for its success in picking the
winning side. The present Duke
led Ulster in the agitation against
the Gladstone home rule bills. He
1t was who coined the phrase "Ulster
will fight, and Ulster will be right"
Today he has not been heard on the
subject, and his brothers, who are
eminent Unionist politicians, and
his sons have been equally silent.
They have left the leadership of the
forlorn hope to Lord Londonderry,
a descendant of the infamous Castle
reagh OF the Union period. who is
more noted for enthusiasm than
ability. There isn't a doubt that the
Hamiltons look forward to holding
the place they have always occupied
as leaders in Irish politics.
Another factor is the attitude OF
the Presbyterian farmers. The ex-
treme orangemen always have been
drawn from the Anglicans, but the
backbone of Unionism has been the
sturdy stock enormously called
Scotch Irish" but really as purely
Irish in most cases as their Roman
Catholic neighbors. These men can
no longer be worked into a frenzy
OF excitement over the home rulS
question. II would be wrong to s.
they have become home rule
though many of the younger genersU
tion have done so, but they have
outgrown their suspicion of their
Roman Catholic fellow countrymen.
The extension of local government
is responsible for this, as It brought
about for the first time the uniting
in public bodies Of men of different
faiths. No movement in the ulster"
counties could succeed without
these men, who are now prepared TO
accept home rule and take their
part I'm working II. The answer to
the question Is; ''Ulster won't fight
and Ulster will be right"

North Country Politicians Talk
of Coming Home Rule
Battle.
Presbyterians Have Outgrown
Suspicion OF Their Catho-
Ollie NeighbOrs.
WILL ACCEPT The new ORDER

"Will Ulster fight?" is a question
which is being asked by many sim
cere friends of Ireland, and the
answer to 1t depends on the politics
of its giver. There are a lot of
politicians in the North of Ireland
who are declaring loudly that
Ulster" by which they mean Bel
fast, Derry and the country lying
between them, will fight in the event
Of the passage of the home rule bill
by Parliament, and they back up
this assertion by tales of drilling
and arming by 'loyalists" In the
Orange lodges. Only a few weeks
ago Lord Mayor McMordie, of Bel
fast, declared in the House, Of
Commons that he knew that $4,000
young men in Belfast owned re-
volvers and that there were 10000
OF these weapons in the hands Of
Onionists in the North of ireland,
while there were between 10000
and 100000 in the hands of
Nationalists in the same area.
Indeed Parliament was regaled
the other day by an account of the
proceedings in an Orange lodge in
Portadown, when 100 sturdy
patriots were exercised with wooden
guns by a nameless Colonel. The
officer turned out to be voiceless as
we'll as nameless, for when Angus
line Birrell, the Chief Secretary for
ireland, produced the police report
Df this incident it contained the in
formation that the officers orders
we're inaudible. Incidentally It
states that the purpose of the drih 4
was to enable the men to march in /
decent order at coming parade. OF
course the fact that 'fUlster" has
40 intention of fighting and is ru(
hing gigantic bluff in the hope\

he hurried on his arrival ffis1 4
to congratulate John Redmond an
his party on their work in pushing
forward the home rule scheme. In
conversation with a friend of the
Irish leader, who called on him at
his hotel, he declared he had been,
by conviction, always home ruler,
but he failed to see how Irishmen
in America advanced that cause by
exhibiting on every occasion violent
antagonism to England in her desire
to establish friendly relations with
the United States. He expressed re-
gret that he could not conveniently
reach England to hear the House
of Commons debates on the home
rule bill, but declared he would
hear something of them before the
end of the third reading. Before his
return to America he means to spend
week or two in Ireland, where he
hopes to learn something on the spot
of the relations that exist between
the Catholics and Orangemen in the
North of Ireland. This is the first
time Andrew Carnegie has shown
active interest in Irish political
affairs.

"Our plans will not change. We are

governor would not arrive until late
this afternoon the sentinels who are to
wait his coming would not be posted
until after luncheon.
"They are just to show him honor,

lodging house guest. male or female,
has occasion to feel envious of any
ones lob, of any kind being looked up
on with more or less disfavor in those
parts.
But the job this double quartet is
engaged in is such cinch, that even
those famous twins Of the highway,
Weary Willie and Dusty Rhodes, could
find no fault with it. These ladies are
being paid 81 a day each for merely
breathing. True, they have to breathe
through tube, but they can take their
respiratio mas easy as they wish.Thelr
employer is DR.. C. Weissman OF a

they are making experiments on the

their breath into tubes attached to bot
