A MUNICIPAL CEAN-UP.

st. Paul has begun its spring
housekeeping under the supervi-
sion of the municipal authorities.
The different commercial bodies
and civic organizations are urging
the citizens to remove from their
premises the accumulated dirt and
refuse of the winter months in
order that St. Paul may be able
to live up to its boast of being
one of the healthiest cities in the
country.
This is a good move and, no
doubt, it will rebound to the
physical well-being of the public.
But why not carry the cleanup
campaign to it's logical conclusion
by purifying the moral cesspools
which are polluting the atmos-
phere? 1t is Of the utmost impor-
lance to guard the moral health of
the city, and those who are charg-
ed with that duty should be far
more energetic than they are in
the performance of it. In spite of
their protests that the laws safe
guarding the moral welfare of
the city are being enforced, there
is reason to believe that such is
not the case. The first quarterly
report of the women police in
spectors shows that there is work
enough to be done in regulating
disorderly saloons and closing
disreputable dives where i'm
morality in it's most vicious forms
flourish, to keep them busy for
many day. It looks as if St.
Paul were slowly but surely sink
ing to the level of cities where a
wide-open policy is tolerated, and
where institutions that are a men
ace to the moral welfare of it's
people are allowed to faunt their
lascivious attractions in such a
public manner as to suggest col
fusion on the part of those who
are charged with the enforcement
of the law. By all means let us
strive to make the streets of this
city safe for the frailest creature
that walks them.

FATHER MATHEW.

This week the seventy-ffth
milestone in the history Of the
Catholic Total Abstinence move
ment inaugurated by the Rev.
Theobald Mathew was passed
without any special commemora-
ton. On the tenth of April, 1888,
after long and prayerful delibera-
ton, Father Mathew signed the
total abstinence pledge and made
himself the leader of a movement
which, in the course of a few years,
numbered it's followers in the
British Isles by the millions and
in America by the hundreds of
thousands.
When he unfurled the standard
of total abstinence in the city of
Cork he knew full well that he
was undertaking a project which
might be fated to end in disaster,
for he was running counter to the
long-cherished traditions and Gus
toms, not only of the people of
Ireland, but Of the world at large.
1t was, to say the least, a rash un-
dertaking-this attempt, hereto
fore undreamed-of, to reform the
drinking customs of a people who
had long cherished, although they
had not practiced, moderation as
the highest ideal towards which
they dare aspire. Father Mathew
was not daunted by the seeming
impossibility of the task he had
undertaken. He had prayed for
light and guidance; and when he
saw the new avenue of escape
from the slavery of intemperance
opening up before him, he did
what every pioneer in a righteous
cause must do if he would succeed
he began to practice what he
felt bound to preach. He had wis
dom enough to know that if the
proposed remedy for intemperance
were good for others it ought to
be good for himself. He set the
example by taking the pledge to
abstain entirely from intoxicating
beverages of all kinds and could
thus say to those whom he hoped
to influence, 81 have given you an
example that as / have done, SO
you do also.
He began his crusade in the
name of God" and the marvellous
success that attended his efforts
iustifes the conclusion that God
was with him. In no other way
can we account for the transform
alton which he wrought in the
mode of thought and habits of the
Irish people. Justin Mccarthy
says that Father Mathew chad
neither eloquence nor learning
nor genius, but only enthusiasm
and noble purpose" and yet he

of the cell is that it is about hun
dred yards from the spot long identi-
fed by the Catholic and Greek
Churches as Pontius Pilates judgment
seat.
Another controversy settled that is
of great comfort to the Christian
world is concerning the part of the
Mount of Olives from which Christ
made His ascension. Two places
have for long time been thus desig-
mated. One side, occupied by the Mos
lens, was declared the true one; the
other, which is owned by the Greek
Church, was pronounced with equal
emphasis the authentic spot. Tour
lists until year or two ago visited
both places and were undecided which

near the wretched village of Kafr ct

Holy City.
The Bible gives little indication of
the direction of Golgotha with reIa-
ton to the city, and this fact has
been the chief cause of doubt concern
ing the locality.

MONKS As LOCKsMITHs
ELABORATE LOCKS MADE BY

Benedictine monks of the middle
ages were skilled locksmiths, and
their work has never been surpassed
in ingenious design or artistic execu-

haps five hundred years old, the work
of Franciscan friar, which is per-

It is of wrought iron, and includes

as savage with one head as Cerberus
did with three.
There is also the lock of tabernacle
even more elaborate. The escutcheon
surrounding the keyhole is surmounted

COST OF A COCKTAIL.
The Drink Young Business Man had
to Have Before Lunch.

In New York city there is a man
who once paid $4,000 for a cocktail.
He did not know it then, and he never
will know it unless he happens to read
this story.
certain prosperous manufacturing
company needed new departmental
manager. The salary was $4,000 a
year. The officers of the company
considered great many candidates
and at last decided to offer the position
to clever young man of unusual bust
ness ability. He seemed to be exactly
the man for that particular place The
president and general manager invited
the young man to lunch with them at
downtown club, ostensibly to talk
over less important business matter.
They wanted to 'look him over Just
once more.
The man met them at the appointed
hour, and the president, anxious to
make the occasion a pleasant one, or
dered an elaborate luncheon. The
waiter was long time in bringing
the first course, and the guest began
to appear ill at ease. He seemed abb
sent-minded and uninterested in the
conversation. He twisIed about in his
chair and tapped his fingers nervously
upon the table. Finally he turned to-
ward the president and said almost
desperately. Would you mind very
much If l ordered a cocktail?" Then
he flushed little and offered a laugh
ing apology for making the request.
The other men exchanged surprised
and significant glances, but they called
the waiter and ordered the cocktail.
When it came the guest drank it ca
gerly. In few moments he had be-
come another mantle man of keen
vision and quick mind, who could be
so useful in their great business. There
was no more preoccupation in his man
ner, no shifting about in his chair. He
was alert, eager, clear headed.
But as the luncheon went on neither
the president nor the manager men
toned the real object of the interview.
Each was thinking the matter over Sc
riously, and neither could be sure of
the others secretly formed opinion.
The situation became awkward. Final
ly the president excused himself on
the pretense of going into the library
to speak to friend who had just en-
tered. But after speaking to his friend
he went straight to the desk and wrote
a message on telegraph blank. He
gave the message to uniformed at
tendant and went back to the dining
room.
In a few minutes page brought a
telegram to the manager, who read it
hurriedly, while the president finished
telling their guest about a shooting
trip in Maine. This is what the tele-
gram said
The job is too big for boozer. We
can't run our business by cocktail
power.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
GOT HER INSPIRATION FROM
CATHOLIC NURSING NUNS.

The British Journal of Nursing, a
non-Catholic publication, referring to
Sister Mary Stanislaus Joseph, calls
her Florence Nightingale's right hand

in the Crimea, and says:

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE IM
IRELAND.

There is much-needed temperance
reform, which will, we trust, be
brought about" says the Catholic
Times, through strong expression of
opinion on the subject by prominent
priests who were present at the meet
ing of the Maynooth Union. The
number of public-houses in Ireland is
far too large, and altogether out of
proportion to the requirements of the
people. The Rev. Father Aloysius,
who read paper on Temperance Leg
islation for Ireland his Capuchin
brethren, and other priests in all parts
of Ireland, have within recent years
wrought happy change in the habits
of the people. They have established
temperance association, have success
fully promoted the temperance move
ment amongst the masses, and have
introduced customs tending to make
many of the rising generation total alb
stainers. But the superabundance of
public-houses has had the effect of
undoing, to considerable extent,
their good work. Permanent temper
ance progress, indeed, seems to be
almost impossible unless the tempta-
tons thus held out to the people are
lessened. DR.. Langan said he felt sure
that if representations were made to
the Nationalist Party they would press
upon Parliament the necessity of re-
ducing the number of public-houses
in the country. Mr.. Redmond and his
followers have always evinced desire
to be helpful to the advocates of tenn
perance, and it may be taken for
granted that any suggestions in this
respect which may be laid before them
will receive most careful considera-
tion"

entrusted with the management of
the property of the local parish.
An attempt was made to amend
the bill so as to permit the parish
to elect the lay members of the
corporation, but the amendment
was rejected after protracted de-
bate during which it was shown
that, if those who were response
bic for the agitation succeeded in
gaining control of the holdings of
the Church in the Diocese of Port
land, it would be nothing short of
a calamity. The splendid credit
established by long years of wise
administration on the part of
the Church would be destroyed
at once, and the struggling
churches would with difficulty find
anyone who would be willing to
take the risk of lending them
money. The bill finally passed
and was signed by Governor
Haines on March the eighteenth.
The approval Of the new Cor
poration Sole Act by the Governor
was followed by an announcement
that the six members of the execu-
tive committee of the French
Canadian Catholics who, two
years ago, were interdicted on &C
count of their agitation for the
dissolution Of the Corporation
Sole law, have been condemned a
second time by the Church author
tiles in Rome.

TENURE OF CHURCH PROPER.
TY IN MAINE.

During the past two years an
agitation has been carried on in
Maine by a few misguided laymen
who tried to bring about change
in the method of holding church
property in the Diocese of Port
land. Since 1887 the control of
church property has been vested
in the Bishop of the diocese who.
by the Corporation Sole Act of
that year, is the legal trustee for
the people and for the church as
a society. All the property is
held in his name.
This method of holding church
property is one of the forms of
tenure recognized by the Church,
and under it, according to a state
ment made by Bishop Walsh, tse-
curity, stability, unquestionable
credit and reasonable progressive
prosperity" have accrued to the
church under his jurisdiction. In
spite of this, the agitation for a
change which would practically
place the control of the church
property in the hands of the laity
reached such an acute stage that
the matter was referred to Rome
and the leaders in the movement
were condemned. This, however,
did not relieve the situation.
At the present session of the
Maine Legislature a bill was intro
duced reafirming the right of the
Bishop of Portland to hold church
property as a Corporation Sole
and giving him power to form
separate parish corporations
whenever he deemed it advisable
to do so. These parish corpora
tons were to be modelled accord
ing to the plan in vogue in
many dioceses throughout the
country where the Bishop, his
Vicar General, the pastor Of the
parish and two laymen chosen by
them constitute the corporation

to each of the three Basilicas in
Rome, namely, St. Peter, st. John
Lateran, and st. Paul Outside-the-
Walls, and praying, according to
the intention Of the Holy Father,
for the prosperity and exaltation
of the Catholic Church and the
Apostolic See, the extirpation of
heresies and the conversion of sin
ners, for concord among Christian
princes and peace and union
among Christian peoples. During
this period they must approach
the Sacramento and also make,
each one according to his means,
an offering for some pious work.
Those who fulfill these conditions
gain a plenary indulgence of their
sins which is applicable to the
souls in Purgatory.
Those who cannot visit Rome
during this time can gain the in
diligence by making six visits to
the church or churches in their
locality designated by the Bishop
of the diocese. and fulfilling the
other conditions set forth in the
Apostolic Letter. Due announce
ment will be made by the Bishop
of each diocese of the churches
one must visit in order to gain
the Jubilee indulgence.
Moreover, the Holy Father is
not unmindful of those who, fo1
one reason or another, may not be
able to visit the churches pre-
scribed by their Bishop. Special
concessions are made in favor OF
travellers, members of religious
orders of both sexes, including
those living in perpetual cloister
and Of all others who, by reason
of bodily infrmity or some other
impeachment, are unable to fulfill
the foregoing obligations or any
one Of them. By having recourse
to authorized confessors they car
have these committed to other
works of piety. Children who
have not yet made their First
Communion can be dispensed
from this condition in order that
they may gain the indulgence OF
the Jubilee.

A GOOD STORY.

A story of the Hon. John G.. Spooner,
former United States senator, that will
bear any amount of repetition is told
by the Philadelphia Telegraph. A
young son was about to leave for the
West to enter business, and the father
seized the opportunity to offer this
parental counsel: You are going far
away to begin your career in a rough
country, and / should feel better If
you were to promise me before you
go that you will not drink. We prob
ably shall not see much of each other
again for good many years, and it
would give me great consolation to
know that, wherever you are, you are
in no danger of being ruined by
drink"
Young Spooner received the little
lecture deferentially. After hearing
its conclusion he replied: yes, father,
/ am going away, and we shall prob
ably not see each other for some time.
This smoking is running your health.
| should like to feel while / am away
that your health is not being under
mined by the dangerous nicotine habit.
Let us make compact. You quite
smoking and will quit drinking"
The significance OF this incident in
its broadcast sense ought not to be lost
on other fathers, so many Of whom
cherish the delusion that if they give
their sons good advice they need not
be particular about giving them good
example.

Those who see nothing but alb
surdity and intellectual slavery in
a religion that insists upon a def
mite dogmatic creed, should med
itate on the following paragraph
from the pen of G. K. Chesterton,
who writes: "Don't say, I look
forward to that larger religion
that shall have no special dogmas,
1t is like saying, I look forward
to that larger quadruped which
shall have no feet. A quadruped
means something with four feet
and a religion means something
that commits a man to some doc
trine about the universe.
