INTERESTING DEBATE.

In spite of the inclement weather
there was a good attendance pres
ent at the meeting of Division a. A.
o. H., on Monday evening at Ber-
trand Hall. Those who were present
were well repaid for their visit,
President John II. Hennessy having
invited two of the pioneer members
OF the division, John Kenefick and
Michael Welsh, to relate some of the
incidents of the Orangemen's celebra-
tion of the Twelfth of July in Ire
land. Both of their talks were much
enjoyed and we're a source of informa-
tion to many present Phil and VIII
Broderick were elected to member
ship, these two making about fifteen
to be obligated or initiated in the di-
vision, and it is expected an initiation
will be held before the class becomes
too unwieldly for the initiatory exer-
cises.

DEATH OF MRS. KUsTEs.

With crushing sadness came the
Wednesday morning of Mrs.
Madeline Kustes, beloved wife of G..
H. Kustes and mother of Miss Mar
celia Knstes, at her home in High
land Park. Mrs. Kustes belonged TO
one of the most respected families in
Jefferson county, and her death is
sincerely regretted by a wide circle
of friends. She had been the Presi-
dent of the Altar Society of st.
Leo's church since the foundation of
that parish and to the writer
Father Fitzgerald said II was given
TO her to influence for good all who
enjoyed her acquaintance, and her
death comes as personal loss to
hundreds beyond the confines of her
home and near kin. Despite failing
health Mrs. Kustes never COM
planned. and il was only shortly be-
fore her death that. on the urgent
advice of her medical attendant, she
took to her bed. All that a fond
husband and devoted daughter could
dc was done to prolong her life, but
without effect, and fortified by the
last rites of holy mother church, of
which she was a devout member. she
passed peacefully away. To her sor-
rowing husband and daughter the
widest sympathy is extended. The
funeral on Friday morning was con-
Quoted by Father Fitzgerald and was
largely attended, many coming long
distances to show their respect for
the bereaved family.

FIRST HOLY MASS.

The Rev. Father Michael ]. Nor
ton, who was ordained to the holy
priesthood Friday morning by the
Right Rev. Bishop Morris in st.
Andrews Cathedral at Little Rock,
Ark, will come to Louisville and
celebrate his first mass at st. Pat
rick's church. Thirteenth and Mar
ket, at 1890 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Father Norton was born
and raised in st. Patriek's parish,
but how he came to get away from
the Louisville diocese is not known,
unless IT was that some priest rec
commended him to the good Bishop
of the Arkansas diocese. He is a
fine fellow and many are sorry that
he does not come to work in his
home diocese That the church gill
be crowded goes without saying, as
.he newly ordained priest has many
relatives and friends here who will
be glad to receive his blessing.
Father Norton will visit here and
then return to Little Rock to engage
in his holy calling and life work.

AbOrtive Attempts of BigOts to
stir the Fires of Religious
Hatred.
Decent Men of Every Shade of
Religious Belief Despise
Them.
CATHOLICS ARE NOT DISTURBEC

Rev. Father Peter Cannon, who
edits the True Voice, expresses bet
ter than we could our view of the
antl-Catholic agitators, which are
nothing new in this country. These
convulsions of bigotry recur period
| ically. But 1t is noticeable that they
are becoming weaker with each reoc-
currence. Compare for instance the
Know Nothing movement of the mid
die of the last century with the
short-lived A. p A. agitation of the
early nineties. Or again, compare
that agitation with the present
abortive attempt on the part of few
bigots to stir up the fires of reIig-
ious hatred.
The krow Nothings numbered
many men of national prominence
and formed a political party, which
gave several electoral votes to its
candidate for the Presidency. The
A. p. A. worked within the old
political parties and never dared to
enter the field as a distinct organi-
cation. 1t controlled, however, sew
eral cities for a brief period, and
was widely exploited by the press
before it was borne to a dishonored
grave. Those who belonged to it
made haste to get away from the
smell of the nasty thing. Still IL
clung to them, to their sorrow, and
in spite of their protestations. The
agencies that are now striving to
create religious dissension are prac-
tically ignored by all except their
own press and a few papers which
openly denounce them when ap-
preached for space. They want no.
toriety for their agitation, and the
greatest grievance they have is that
they can't get it through the press
Poor old Miles and Tom Watson are
so thoroughly. discredited and, in
consequence, ignored that they are
in despair The dark-lantefh bisStsu
who circulate the filthy Menace
kindred pnblicati0ns are very ga -
full to choose dark nights for their
nefarious work. They are so
ashamed of II that they dare not
look their neighbor in the face. It
shows that they recognize the foul
ness of the campaign in which they
are engaged. They know that de-
cent men of every shade of relig-
ious belief despise them and the lies
thVy CICuldIe ny SIedlLH.
Is such a campaign. carried on by
nameless towards, going to injure
us? We would be very weak indeed
could such methods disturb us. The
vast majority of non-Catholics know
us well enough to respect us and
to eontemn the insane bigots who
are wasting their money and their
strength in the effort to start a
campaign of prescription against
Catholics. We should be sorry to
believe that even one-hundredth part
of them are deceived by the Menace
concoctiOn of lies and bigotry. Let
us not be disturbed by the brawling
bigots. They have neither standing
nor numbers, nor are these things
ever likely to come to them. They
are noisy and noisome-but like
certain little animals, they are
notorious chiefly for the bad odor
which they give to the atmosphere
in which they live.

position of these pennant contend

Association circuit that Louisville
has the best team since 1909. and

pitching department will be in the
neighborhood of first place when the

hitting of the team is most pleasing
