A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. EDWARD THE COMPRESSOR.

Edward was unexpectedly raised to
the throne of England at the age of
forty years, twenty-seven of which he
had passed in exile. When an infant,
his mother had laid him on the altar,
and solemnly offered him to God, and
his holy youth showed that he had
not withdrawn from the offering. On
the throne, the virtues of his earlier
years simplicity, gentleness, lowli-
ness shone with new brightness, but
especially angelic purity and detach-
ment.
BY rare inspiration of God, though
he married to content his mobiles and
people, he preserved perfect chastity
in the welded state. So little did he
set his heart on riches that thrice
when he saw a servant robbing his
treasury he let him escape, saying
the poor fellow needed the gold more
than he. He loved to stand at his
palace gate, speaking kindly to the
poor beggars and lepers who crowded
about him, and many of them he
healed of their diseases. He was
laborious in his kingly duties. The
long wars and the Danish oppression
had brought the kingdom to sad
state. The land was half untitled, the
mobiles turbulent, the clergy relaxed.
Edwards zeal and sanctity soon
wrought a great change. His reign
of twenty-four years was one of al
most unbroken peace, the country
grew prosperous, the ruined churches
rose under his hand, the weak lived
secure, and for ages afterwards men
spoke with affection of the flaws of
good S. Edward" He died January
5th, 1866.
David longed to build a temple for
Gods service. Solomon reckoned ii
his glory to accomplish the work
But we who have God made flesh
dwelling in our tabernacles, ought tC

too much to devote to the splendol

THE MEDITATION OF THE
ROSARY.

With desolation is all the land
made desolate, because there is no
one who considereth in his heart"
(Jer. xii. III. st. Alphonsus teaches
that no one can be saved without
meditation, meaning meditation, in its
wide sense, as forethought touching
the needs of the SOUL "He who neg
lects meditation and is distracted by
the affairs of the world will not
know his spiritual wants, the dan
gers to which his salvation is exposed,
the means he ought to take to con-
quer temptation, and will forget the
necessity of the prayer of petition for
all men; thus he will not ask for what
is necessary, and by not asking God S
graces he will certainly lose his soul. :"
(St. Alphonsus, quoted in An Easy
Method of Mental Prayer, by Father
Bertrand Wilberforce, O. P.).
The Rosary supplies the most salu-
tary matter for meditation: the Life,
Death and Glory of our Redeemer
Jesus Christ. 1t was the purpose and
object of ST. Dominic, in the institu-
ton of the Rosary, to fill the mind
and heart of all Christians with these
great truths. 1t was the love of God,
rekindled by the Rosary throughout
Christendom, that renewed the life of
the Church of his day.
The method of Mental Prayer pre-
scribed in the Rosary is the most an
cient and venerable of all, and the
simplest of all, whereby the attention
of the mind is regulated and limited
according to the prayers uttered by
the voice. Some persons find diff
Guilty in this mode of mental prayer;
but with little practice it becomes
easy, nothing being required of neces-
sity but an attention to the meaning
of the Mystery whilst the prayers are
uttered.
1t may be well to recapitulate the
Mysteries of the Rosary, as being the
matter of the Mental Prayer of the
Rosary.

ing to take place l would have told
Rowland about it."
Manager Rowland further adds that
''Meddy" Boucher will be in a Du-
buQue uniform when the season opens
next year. Boucher is one of the best
backstops Rowland has had in many
a year and the magnate knows a good
thing when he sees it.
Whether Dubuque will have a down
town baseball park will be known by
the end of the week. The matter is
now under consideration with the club
owners and the business men. Mr.
Rowland is optimistic. He says that
it is a cinch that Dubuque will have
a downtown park. Mr.. Rowland is
not trying to get the park for his
club exclusively, but is looking for
ward to the interests of the other ath-
letic clubs about the city. The park
could be used for general purposes"

Louie Cook, the former Decatur and
Rock Island player, is between two
fires and he has not decided yet which
job he will hang on to. Frank
Shaughnessy, the owner of the club
managed by Cook last year, may re-
turn to the managership of the Fort

to remain with Ottawa in that case.
Guelph of the same league has made
an offer for Cook, which is said to be
acceptable to Ottawa, and it is report
ed that it is only matter of terms
between him and the Guelph club
Cook will have to build up practically
new team at Guelph.

ACKERMAN AGAIN
VICTOR IN MATCH
AT ROLLER RINK
Ted Tonneman of Chicago Gives
Him Hard Battle but Sue
cumbs to Toe Hold.

Al Ackerman utilized Frank Gotch's
deadly toe hold last night at the roller
skating rink in defeating in straight
falls Ted Tonneman, the Turner
wrestling champ of Chicago. The
match was corker, the first 20 min
utes Of it having the 500 or 900 spec
tators on their feet nearly every min
ute, thanks to the spectacular work
o! the two mat artists. For a time II
seemed that Ackerman had met his
match, but gradually his superiority
became evident. After a little more
than 20 minutes of the speediest kind
OF wrestling, Ackerman secured toe
hold on the Chicagoan and the latter
was forced TO forfeit the fall as he was
rendered helpless. The time was
2240.
The second fall went in the same
way. Tonneman forfeiting after six
minutes OF work when Ackerman Sc
cured another toe hold that the Turner
could not break.
The preliminaries to the main go
we're good. In the semi-windup, John
Stohl Of Geneseo threw J. w Lindsey
OF this city twice in succession with
out great difficulty. A scissors on the
body was the hold used in each. the
first coming in FIVE minutes and the
second in $40. Stohl has been work

provement as a result
