THE GETTYSBURG REUNION.

With mingled emotions and mingled
thoughts of the days when the North
and the South opposed each other in
a bloody conflict, some forty THOUSAND
veterans of the Civil War. men who
wore the gray as well as men who
wore the blue. will meet next week on
the old field of Gettysburg. They will
meet and mingle and salute one an

fifty years ago the opposing armies
saluted with the severest volleys that
marked that dark struggle.
The celebration at Gettysburg will
last through July 1st, End, 3rd and 4th,

old soldiers will be furnished by the

lapel Of his coat, and when the basket
was passed he gave penny to God.
He had several bills in his pocket, and
sundry change, perhaps dollars
worth, but he hunted about and find
ing this poor little penny, dropped it
in the basket to aid the Church Mill
tant in its fight against the world, the
flesh and the devil. His silk hat was
beneath the seat, and his gloves and
cane were beside 1t, and the penny was
in the basket-a whole penny. On
Saturday afternoon he may have had
a friendly drink with companions. The
cash register stamped 65 cents on the

of a bill he handed it to the waiter
and gave him nickel when he
brought the change.

LAYM.AN'S RETREAT
OPENS AT SEMINARY
Business Men Gather to Forget Cares
and Take Stock Of Their
Spiritual Life.

For the first time in the history of
the Church in the Twin Cities, busi-
ness men were given an opportunity
this week to gather together, to forget
the cares of their busy business life
and take stock of their spiritual affairs
in a layman's retreat at the st. Paul
Seminary. The retreat opened Thurs
day and will close Sunday morning,
when those taking part in it will re-
ceive Holy Communion in body.
Rev. Walter Elliot, c. S. p, of Wash
ington, D. c., is directing the exercises
which consist in sermons and medita-
tions on the doctrines and dogmas of
the Church. Father Elliot is seventy
one years of age and veteran of the
Civil War. He is a graduate of the
law college Of the University of Notre
Dame and practiced at the bar for a
time after the close of the war. Later
he entered a seminary, was ordained
to the priesthood and has since de-

dom of God on earth.
The purpose of the retreat is to give
men in the business world an oppor-
tunity to hear discourses on the doc
trines of the Church, to consider their
own past and future, to mediate and
pray. 1t is similar to the retreat
which is given each year for the
clergy, except that it is shorter and
conducted with less rigor.

For the land % goodness, who fetched

conduct of the average child nova
days the crying need in this day and
generation is not better schools, but
better mothers. Too many modern
mothers are so busy with their house,
work or church work, club work or
bridge work, that they have little time
to know where their children are,
whom they are with, or what they're
up to. And so these children grow up

IRISH CATHOLICS IN ENcl AND.


James Grant, writing in the Cath
ollc Times, remarks of the Catholics
IN England and Wales:
I'VE all know that eighty per cent
of the Catholics of England and Wales
are either Irish born, or else of i'm.
mediate Irish descent. and that the "a.
manning twenty per cent belong either
to the old Catholic nobility, or else ia
the sporadic remnants of the unapos.
tate Catholic yeomanry of pre-Re-
formation days. OF the larger per-
centage-the Anglo-1rish eighty per
cent, that is-probably some five per
cent, possibly ten per cent, may be
said to have sprung from land-ownine
forebears In Ireland. The balance of
this eighty per cent is derived from
the East. South or West of Ireland.
and almost to a unit, is composed of
the immediate descendants Of tillers
of the soil, unskilled laborers, or else
small traders and persons with Just
enough to subsist upon."
These are historical facts that speak
in no uncertain terms for the integrity
of the people of Ireland. Their alleg-
lance to the Faith has ever been such
that it f1ourishes wherever they -four

RETREAT FOR LAYMEN.

This week for the first time in the
history of the Church in the North
west, Catholic laymen of Minneapolis
and st. Paul were given an opportu-
nifty to come together on the quiet
grounds Of the st. Paul Seminary to
hear talks by noted clergyman on
the doctrines Of the Church and to
pray and mediate on their lives.
The innovation is as logica, rs any
thing that can be conceived. 1t has
long been custom to give annual re-
treats for the clergy of every diocese
in the country. The pu pose is to
help them to look square:y at them
selves and to consider the;;. lives and
their work, not from a worldly poin:
of view, but from the poin. Of view
of the life to come. No man can do
his best work in any profession with
out associating with the men Of the
profession and receiving the inspira-
tlon that such association affords.
Neither can man do mis- best with
out giving his most serious thought to
his work. This has been the under
lying idea of the retreats for the cler-
gy. 1t has always been felt :hat they
need all the special help and inspira-
tion possible in order to brace up
their spirits and inspire determine
tion.
II this is true in the case of the
clergy, whose lives are devoted to
teaching the Gospel, how much more
ought 1t to be true of the average
layman who at best goes to Mass but
once week and then hardly relaxes
enough from his business cares to
think seriously of the meaning of the
Sacrifice that takes place before him.
The average man needs to withdraw
from the world and think of the vel.
fare of his soul if he would not be
affected by the dross of gold and the
love of gain.
A man works day in and day out,
striving to make money, seeking the
elusive joy of life. He leaves his
home in the morning, takes a hasty
restaurant lunch at noon so as not
to interrupt his business by going
home to eat with his family. He la
bors on till night only to go home for
rest that he might be fresh for the
same round of duties the next day.
He seldom stops: to. think, of the un-
certainty of the future or that each
day he may be leaving home never to
return. He gives all his thought to
the fleeting present and none to the
uncertain future, the eternity ahead
How the angels must weep at the
childish thoughtlessness of the busy

that half century have brought

there. Their grievances are buried in
the graves of their fallen comrades,
and rightly SO. Life is too short to
harbor enmities. The days of the war
are past. The issues over which it
was fought are dead. The North and
South are one. There is no reason
why the old soldiers should not meet
on the famous field as friends. The
reunion next week will be one of the
most effective means of wiping away
the last traces of bitterness between

CARDINAL ON SUFFRAGE.

Cardinal Gibbons made his first suf-
frage speech at the commencement
exercises of the Immaculate Seminary,
Washington, D. c., when he told the
young ladies who were about to re-
ceive their diplomas that women have
no place in politics. Their place is
in the home" he said, where they can
be the housewives and the mothers
In the home they will have all the in
fiuence they need through that power
a good wife will have over husband"
Those statements will not appeal to
some women, who, because they are
not granted the privilege of going to
the polls and casting vote, think
that they are not free. Their real
grievance is not that they are deprived
of a power to better the world, but
that they are deprived Of privilege
which men have. II universal suffrage
were granted in the United States to-
day women would take sides on polit-
ical issues just as men have always
done and the effect of the vote would
be practically to nullify itself.
Cardinal Gibbons takes a decidedly
different view from the advocates Of
woman suffrage. He believes that vot-
ing is not half 80 important as train
ing young men and women In the ele-
ments of true manhood and woman
hood. His theory is that II woman

The IRISH AT GETTYSBURG.

The memory of the Irish Brigade,
that gallant regiment of patriotic
Irishmen who carried the green flag
of Ireland with them through many a
stormy conflict of the Civil War along
with the Stars and Stripes of the
Union. will be honored July by a
solemn memorial mass in ST. Marys
church, Pawtuckct. The panegyric on
the Irish Brigade will be delivered by
Rev. John G. Tennian, the son OF a
Civil War veteran.
1t is fitting that the Irish Brigade
should be remembered at the Gettys-
burg celebration. The integrity Of
character, the courage and daring Of
the men who composed il, the notable
achievements 1t won, should not be
forgotten. 1t was oc the Irish Eri-
gadc, the regiment that knew not de-
feat. that the Confederates often said,
"IIcre comes that damned green flag
again!" 1t was to Meagher, the lead
er Of the Irish Brigade, that McClel-
Ian said at Malvern Hill: "Meagher
wish you had 10000 men in your
Irish Brigade"
An excellent tribute was paid to the
valor of the Irish Brigade by Mrs. Ell
len Ryan Jolly, national president of
the Women's Auxiliary of the A. O.
H., at a special meeting held in her
honor last week. We quote in part:
1T was at Gettysburg during the
terrific onslaught of the Irish Brigade
that Father William Corby, c. S. c.,
of Notre Dame University, became the
immortal hero of the fight, when
amidst shot and shell and cannonad-
ing as the men stood ready for the
fatal rush to death and victory, he, as
their Chaplain, proposed giving his
Catholic men general absolution.
Standing untlinchingly in front of the
Irish Brigade drawn up in the serried
columns Of its six stalwart regiments,
Father Corby made brief but i'm
passioned appeal to his Irish brethren
to remember their great eternal Cap
tain, Jesus Christ. and exhorted them
to make perfect act of contrition as
possible for the sins of their entire
lifetime. Every Irishman fell on his
knees and struck his breast. reciting
with fervent heart the act of contri-
ton. The flags were dropped. Even
the non-Catholic officers. including
the immortal Hancock, stood, moved,
with reverent heads uncovered dur
ing this affecting scene. Father Corby,
raising his eyes heavenward and
stretching out his right hand while
the men still repeated the prayers he
pronounced in loud firm voice the
form of Absolution Of the Sacrament
of Penance. Ere Father Corby had
completed his absolution, fire, flame,
smoke and grape shot surrounded the
form of the fearless Chaplain, but, un-
moved, he remained at his post and
in humility and in true abject contri-
tion for their sins. In less than an
hour thousands of these Irish exiles
were corpses on the plains of Gettys-
burg.
"On the afternoon of July 8. 1868,
the third day after the battle started,
the Irish Brigade occupied promi-
nent position on the main line in front
of Wilcox and Perrys brigade on Pick
ett's right. Gettysburg proved If
proof were needed the invincible brav-
cry Of the Irish Brigade. 1t closed its
noble. honorable and heroic career

had been fired, and not until the last
