SUCCESS CROWNS
HOSPlTALBAzAAR
OF PAST WEEK
LADIES' ARE HIGHLY PLEASED
Annual Occasion For HOSpi.
tai Benefit

The bazaar conducted during the
past week as a benefit for the Amerl-
Gus hospital was one of the most sue
cessful yet attempted by the ladies
who work so untiringly for that In
stitution. From a financial and So
cial viewpoint alike, the bazaar of 1912
will go upon the records as one of the
best Americus has ever enjoyed
During the past five days the armory
has been the Mecca of hundreds Of
friends of the hospital who accorded
it liberal patronage.
In fact such was the success attend
ing the occasion that already the net
cash proceeds are in excess of $400
while the sale of several contributions

|yet undisposed of will augment that
sum considerably. In fact, the net
profits are in excess of that of any
previous like event arranged for the
hospital.
The sale of a large quantity of
commercial fertilizer, contributed by
the guano plants here, will swell the
profit fund very considerably.
The baby show netted the baza tr
$25 or $50, due to the untiring efforts
of Mrs John p Butt, who directed
this event most admirably, making Of
il not only a source of profit to the
bazaar, but success otherwise as
well
The sala Of the bale of cotton, gen-
eronsly cor tribnted By the warehouses
and buyers here, netted something
more han $45. The ladies feel espe-
cially grateful to Mr.. II. T. Bivins, of
Harold Bros, for getting together the
cotton, directing its sale, and other
wise contributing to the disposal OF
this dosAtion.
Duthg the entire week excellent
dinners and suppers were served dai-
ly at the bazaar, and people deemed II
a privilege, as we'll as a pleasure, 20
have been served tempting repast oy
the ladies'.
The bazaar closed last night, and al
who willingly and generously assisted
therein have the sincere thanks OF the
Hospital association. They aided 4
charity that is close to the hearts 0.

for the success and maintenance of

NEWS STANDS AND CATH.
OLIC PAPERS.

An advance editorial on this
subject from the February number
OF Extension Magazine says:
Last month we tested out the
possibilities of our magazine as a
news stand seller, with gratifying
results. Three cities were selected
for the test. In two Of them the
sale was far better than we had
expected; in one it was only salts
factory. We began to cast about
to find a reason for the excess Of
qualification in two places, and we
found it. In these cities there are
Catholic weekly papers, with large
circulations, splendid Catholic
papers, well managed and well
edited. One Of them is a diocesan
organ, besides. Several times our
efforts to push the circulation OF
the magazine have been discour.

fear that it would hurt the circula.
ton OF the Catholic weeklies. We
have always taken the ground that
one good Catholic paper in the
family creates a taste for more
even as giving to a missionary
cause always seems to make q
friend for every cause Of the same
kind. Our experience with the
news stand sales Of our magazine
proves that we are right, else why
should our greatest success have
been in the very cities where
nearly every Catholic subscribes
for a Catholic paper9''

M. |. J. GRIFFIN's EXAMPLE.

Martin I. j.. Griffin, founder of the
local Catholic Total Abstinence Union,
who died November 10, was one OF
the most consistent advocates of total
abstinence and a radical" to the point
Of prohibition, says the Philadelphia
Catholic Abstainer" He was one OF
those who are styled "cranks" by the
unthinking, but who, to quote an ex-
preston OF priest active in the
movement, was one Of the "cranks"
who set pace that keep the rest
moving. At his death there were
those who differed with him in discus
sions OF this and other subjects who
were ready to admit not only that he
may have been right, but even to go
SO far as to say that probably he was.
His interest in the cause made him
not only subscriber to The Catholic
Abstainer, but he ordered them in
thousands at times at his own expense
for distribution at his parish church.

The path of ''The Playboy of
the Western World" is far from
being rosy one in this country.
In New York the play was pro-
duced under special police protec-
ton; but, despite all precautions,
a goodly number Of over-ripe eggs
found their way to the stage. In
Philadelphia this week the recep-
ton accorded the players was not
a bit more fattering. To verbal
protests on the part Of many in the
audience were added stale eggs
from the gallery. It is reported
that twelve men were arrested be-
fore squad of plain clothes men
and uniformed police succeeded in
restoring order.
This play was never in good
odor in America and now it is less
acceptable than ever as result OF
the vigorous protests made against
its performance not alone by Irish.
men but by all decent people. II
is to be hoped that those who are
attempting to boom it will soor
recognize the handwriting on the
wall and abide by the verdict Of
the public.

GAsIMlR PULASKI
His career Prior to the American
Revolution-iis Death and
Burial at Sea.

Pulaski's part in the American
Revolution is a matter of history;
his earlier career as Polish patriot
and soldier is neither so well nor SO
generally known to the great major
ity of readers, who remember him
chiefly for his disinterested and gal
liant services in the War OF Inde-
pendence. In Volume XII OF the
Catholic Encyclopedia, John G. EW-
ing's article contains an account Of
his military activities in Maldayia
and In Poland and Lithuania, where
from 1869 to It'll he was singularly
successful against the Russian forces.
Despite the brilliance of his tactful
strategy, he was finally beaten at
Cartenow, and though modern histor-
ians hold him guiltless, he was con-
victed OF treason and outlawed for

sATuR DAY, JAN. 20, 1912.

It would be mutually beneficial
if our readers who patronize those
who advertise in The Catholic Bull
letin would mention the paper
when dealing with them. The
value Of an advertisement lies in
the results it produces. The adver-
tiser cannot know these fully un-
less people who take advantage Of
what he offers make it known to
him. This information is due to
the advertiser because it enables
him to com pare the merits of the
respective mediums which ne
makes use Of for placing his goods
before the public. He naturally
selects the best. The Catholic
Bulletin co vers a large territory
and it's readers can do much to
make it's value as an advertising
medium known to the business
men who patronize it's pages.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY

The twenty-second annual re-
port Of the Rector Of the Catholic
University of America has just
been issued. With it are COM
bined the reports Of the Treasur-
er, Librarian and other officials
connected with the institution. :
The report states that the fnan-
cial condition Of the University
is excellent. The institution is
free from debt; its investments
amount to $178, 825.43; and it's
buildings are worth about $780,
900. The annual collection taken
Up in all the dioceses Of the
United States last year brought
$95, 464.27 into it's treasury. The
Knights Of Columbus endowment
fund has reached the sum of 1904,
457 OF, and the completion Of this
gift is promised for August 1912.
There are tWenty-nine perman-
emily endowed scholarships in the
theological department. There is
also number Of lay scholarships.
One of the most pressing needs of
the University, says the Rector, is
a large increase in the number of
lay scholarships. Every year a
good number Of poor but deserv-
ing young men graduates Of high
schools or equivalent academic
training, apply for admission to
the University on scholarships
that carry with them board and
tuition or either. They are fami-
liar with such aid from the ex-
ample Of non-Catholic universe.
ties where they abound. The time
is certainly at hand when our Ca
tholic laity could be solicited to
found scholarships that would pro.
vide well-prepared and earnest
young men with the means of oh.
tanning an excellent education at
the Catholic University in law
letters, engineering, the sciences
pedagogy, etc. Not a few of oul
people could give from 5000 tc
$500 a year for the higher educa.
ton Of young men under Catholic
auspices, without affecting the
capital Of their estates. This is
moreover, an old Catholic form Of
educational generosity, one large
ly responsible for the great mum
Der of University students in pre-
Reformation days. Now that W.
are developing an excellent Schoo
Of Science this kind Of educationa
help seems really imperative.

In connection with this move
ment an appeal has been made to-
parliament. An important and in
fuential delegation waited on the
Home Secretary recently and
asked for thestricter legal control
Of books, pictures and entertain
ments ola demoralizing character.
It was organized by the London
Council ofthe Association for the
Promotionof Public Morality. The
deputation was introduced by
Lord Aberdeen, and had for
spokesman the Bishop Of London.
The object Of the meeting was to
strengthen the hands Of those who
have undertaken the crusade by
seeking the cooperation of the
state through legislation bearing
on this point. The Home Secre.
tary said that his department was
in complete sympathy with the
movement. He declared that a
bill had already been introduced
into parliament for the purpose Of
defining what is vulgar and in
decent so that a magistrate may
act upon it. The promoters hope
that this measure will be passed
during the coming session.

THAT THEY MAY BE ONE.

In the December issue of the
Lamp" a monthly magazine de-
voted to Church Unity and pub
lished by the Fathers of the Atone
ment at Gfaymoor, New York,
there is an appeal to all who de-
sire the reunion Of Christendom to
unite in a novena for that purpose
prior to the Feast of the Conver-
sion of st. Paul, which falls on
January Is. This period is known
as the Church Unity Octave; and
was established four years ago as
the result of a suggestion made by
an anglican divine who looked for
ward to the time when there would
be Zone fold and one shepherd !

THE CRUSADE AGAINST EVIL
LITERATURE

The crusade against evil litera-
ture which has been gaining
ground in Ireland is receiving
much sympathy from English
sources. The crusade is not chief
y, or even primarily, directed by
clergymen though they are ma
turally amongst its foremost adj
vocates and supporters. The
speech of Canon Barry who dis
cussed the question before the
Irish Catholic Truth Society in
Dublin last October, did much to
awaken feeling and arouse action.
On that occasion he claimed for
Ireland special right to take the
lead in an organized effort against
the spread Of corrupt literature.
Ireland, he said, being pre-emin-
emily country of men and WON
en- bred in purity had need to be
on her guard in these days Of the
"open market" in books. Linn
erick was the first to take up the
crusade and many English Sunday
papers were confscated and de
stroyed. Many non-C Catholics are
earnest promoters Of this move
ment. At a meeting held in Xii
kenny recently the Protestant
Dean Of Ossory and the Metho-
| dist Minister ininnd with thpir
Catholic brethren in commencing
| the work done by the Vigilance
Committees organized In many
parts Of Ireland to prevent the dis.
tribution and sale Of questionable
literature. AS result Of this pro
test many news agents, yielding

AN EVIL OF NO SOCIAL CON.
SEQUENCE!

Abiding to the various reform
agencies and their efforts to find
causes for the evils that exist, while
ignoring the great cause, Joseph Fl.
Croker, of Roslindale, Boston, says
In the National Advocate" that it is
certainly very discouraging and ex-
tremely harmful that SO many infiuen-
tial writer's and speakers on social
problems should exhibit such ignor-
ance or Indifference respecting the
evils connected with the use OF
liquors. One-twentieth of the popula-
ton annually arrested for drunken
ness! But this is a fact of no social
consequence. Every tenth child born
with a serious handicap, due to
parental use of liquor! But this is
fact of no social consequence. One
young man in every small neighbor-
hood annually turned to a criminal
career by the saloon! But this Is a
fact of no social consequence. Every
tenth man more or less incapacitated
as an industrial agent by whisky! But
this is fact Of no social consequence
Three out OF every four persons who
step across the threshold of the poor
house driven there by the curse OF
drink! But this is fact Of no social
consequence. Twice as much money
wasted on drink as spent for all kinds
OF insurance.! But this is a fact OF no
social consequence. The ravages Of
disease enlarged and intensified by
liquor! But this is fact Of, no social
consequence.
This Indifference to the evils Of
drink In high places Is calamity. It
is one of the most serious obstacles In
the way of temperance reform. This
widespread blindness to the awful
facts must be removed before we can
make any satisfactory progress, not
simply in temperance, but In the more
general fields Of human betterment.
As Philip Snowden, leading social
reformer in the House Of Commons,
has recently said, success in temper
ance reform means infinite help for
every other reform.

LIQUOR BLINDNESS.

From the fact that 90 many eminent
reformers and sociologists neglect to
pay any attention to the drink curse.
one is often moved to infer that
majority OF educated people are SO
liquor blind that they cannot see the
most gigantic evils In the modern
world. Surely the time must come
when the scales will fall from the
eyes OF the American people; when
the liquor blindness" will pass away;
when the present complaisance will
cease, and the intelligence and con-
science OF American citizens will be
so aroused that something adequate
shall be done to educate the masses
In principles OF total abstinence. to
repress the saloon, which Ia the breed
ing spot OF disease, crime and pauper-
ism, and to drive the representative
OF the liquor traffic from city halls
and legislative chambers. May that
day or the Lord. which will mean tho
redemption Of man, soon come!
