Beverly.

A two-story frame house which was be-
ing transported from the filtration plant
at Torresdale to this place on barge, fell
overheard Thursday when the vessel
struck Money Island In the upper Della
ware river. 1t became total loss and is
a menace to navigation. The house had
been purchased by summer residents of
Beverly where several families proposed
to make 1t their home during the heated
season. The barge, which was in tow of a
tug. struck Money Island and the house,
not being made thoroughly fast, was jolt
ed overheard. Money Island, where the
accident happened, is where. 1t is said,
Lord Howe threw overheard s., 900, 900 In
gold when closely pursued by the Con-
tinental soldiers In command of General
Washington. While some gold has been
found there, the big fund is yet to be
located. Spiritualists formed syndicate
several years ago to search for the
ire asure, but the scheme was abandoned
because of lack of funds.

In contested will case before
the supreme court of Indiana the
court upheld a bequest for public
Masses on the ground that it was
for a public charity. The bequest
provided that a certain proper
ton of the income of a trust fund
was to be used for Masses every
year for "all poor souls" The
court found that while the objects
of the testatrix's ,solicitude were
uncertain, the charity was a pub
lie one, and it was of the essence
of such charity that the benefi-
Charles are indefinite and uncer-
tain as to persons and numbers.
The court said that a Mass is pub
lie to all as a religious ceremony,
and is public charity as distin-
guished from private charity,
which it might be if restricted to
Masses for the souls Of designated
persons.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
DRINK THE ASSOCIATE OF CRIME

why do you drink? asks Archbish-
op Glennon of st. Louis. Through
hospitality? Does hospitality consist
in two people losing their minds to-
gether, and their character? The one
that invites the other to take drink
invites that one to join him in both
getting crazy. A drunkard is at the
lowest form of creation. God made
man little lower than the angels;
man made himself, by being drunk
ard, lower than the beasts.
Institutions, economically consid-
cred, must be judged to be of benefit
as to their output, just as in a city
the question is considered whether
the city's exports are worth more
than it's imports. We have 1900 or
1000 places in st. Louis where alco-
holic liquors are sold. What is their
output? Nothing. Their economic
value is nil. They do not contribute
to the prosperity of the city.
Zone by one the medical men of
today agree that alcohol is no help
to health; that as a potion, beverage,
it weakens rather than strengthens;
that stimulation is temporary; reac-
ton must come. The recurrence of
action and reaction results in an abb
normal condition for the individual.
The drinking man is the man that
is being gradually eliminated from the
business world. The men who succeed
in business today, whether employer
or employee, are, as a rule, the men
who abstain from intoxicating liquors.
The sane man is the sober man.
Drunkenness stands not alone as a
vice. 1t is dovetailed into and asso.
ciated with nearly all the crimes in
the calendar"

According to an exchange, ten
thousand Catholics of Memphis
have pledged themselves not to
attend any theater in that city
which stages immoral plays. This
is a move in the right direction
a practical method of showing
that the Catholic public, at least,
does not demand the production
of suggestive and immoral plays.
If Catholics in other cities would
refuse to patronize theaters that
cater to a depraved public appe-
tite, they would do much to ele-
vate and purify the modern stage
In many cities, the members OF
Catholic organizations have
pledged themselves to remain
away from plays which offend
against morality, and if such a
course were to become general, il
would lessen an evil which has at.
tanned great proportions during
recent years.

A FRENCH TEMPERANCE SOCIETY

The Able H. Thuiller, French pas
tor, is secretary of the Anti-Alcohol
White Star Society, a Catholic total
abstinence organization of which he
writes in Paris paper, urging Cath
olics to cooperate with it against the
evils of intemperance He says: aside
from immortality and irreEigion, there
is no plague worse than alcoholism"
and he declares that there is no rem
edy more ef1cacious for this evil than
membership in temperance society.
Wherever these societies are estab-
lished," he writes, alcoholism takes a
backward step. The facts are there;
and the thing that has the greatest
value in the eyes of Catholics is the
encouragement of Sovereign Pontiffs,
of Cardinals, Archbishops and Bish-
OPS"
The temperance pledge is the foun-
dation stone Of all the temperance so
cieties. This pledge alone does not
suffice evidently. 1t is necessary that
people so pledged unite together to
strengthen one another, and to make
all the better an active propaganda
against drink But the pledge is the
indispensable bond of the Associa-
ton.
Although the pledge for a year is
the usual obligation, Able Thuillers
organization does not insist on that
length of time. 1t is necessary to at
tract people into the society who might
balk at years abstinence. THAT is
why" he writes" the White Cross So
ciety founded by the lamented Mon
seigneur Meunier, Bishop of EVreux,
and approved by twenty-five Cardinals,
Archbishops and Bishops, accepts
pledges for the Lenten season or for at
least one month each year, the exact
month to be determined by the pledge
taker."

A PATHETIC APPEAL.

The English National Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children has
just issued its twenty-ninth annual re-
port, and once again that report makes
an appeal to us which is unequalled in
its pathos.
The appalling nature of injuries to
child life is only family indicated in
the report, which says in part:
1T is not an exaggerated estimate
that 80 per cent of the cases of neg
lect inquired into by the society's Off
GERS are due to the habits of excessive
drinking on the part of one or both of
the parents. 1t is significant and
striking fact, made evident by the care
full inquiry of the s0ciety's inspectors,
that the growth of the drink habit in
a parent is marked by a correspond
ing decline of proper parental instinct;
ordinarily kind-hearted people become
callous; habits of decency are forgot
ten; and cruelty sits in the place of
love on the domestic hearth"
This report comes to us as a fresh
call to service, writes Father Lamb
ing in the Pittsburg Observer. We ex-
press no opinion on the merits of the
measures which are occupying so
much of the time of Parliament; but
we do say without fear of contradic-
ton that of infinitely greater impor-
lance than any of or all of them is the
question of securing for the child life
of this great nation protection from
the devastating ravages of that which
is the deadly enemy of everything
which grows, whether in the vegetable,
animal, moral, intellectual or religious
realm-the poison, alcohol.

on board with all due decorum.
The Captain, or in his unavoidable
absence, the Surgeon or Purser,
shall, at a fixed hour every Sun
day morning, read to the crew the
Service Of the Church Of England,
as indicated in the Special Service
Book provided by the Company,
but he shall not repeat this service
on the same day. The Saloon be-
ing public room, the Captain
must not allow any meeting for
religious or other purposes to be
called by any individual, but he
may exercise prudent discretion
in allowing any religious service
to be held on Sunday afternoon. y
This rule proves the truth of the
statement made in last week s
issue that a priest is not allowed
to celebrate Mass in the first class
cabin, even on Sundays, but is re
legated to the second-class cabin
or to the steerage.
In regard to the burial of a
Catholic infant at which the Cap
tain oficiated, Mr.. Walker says
that the ships officials supposed
the family to be Jews, and made
inquiries among the passengers fo1
Rabbi to conduct the services
and none was found. The search
must have been very perfunctory
We are informed by one of the
priests who were on board that he
had agreed to conduct the serv
ice, that he made every effort tc
find the Captain on the morning
Of the funeral, but was unsuccess
full in his search. Even the Car
pathia s officials were unable to 10
cate Captain Prothero until thu
hour set for the funeral.
The explanation made by TIT
Steamship Company does not sat
isfy. 1t is rather a confirmation
of the criticism that has been made
against the Cunard Line on tn,
score of intolerance in the matter
Of Catholic services on board.

EXEMPTION FROM TAXA
TON.

The Western Waterman
makes mention, in the current is
sue, of a Catholic institution
which owns revenue-bearing prop
erty in st. Louis, on which it is
seeking exemption from taxation.
It very pertinently remarks that
there is no reason why the state
should accede to this request, as
there is no legitimate grounds on
which exemption can be lawfully
claimed. In the matter Of ex-
empting church property from
taxation, the state is very fair.
1t does not demand tribute from
property which is used exclusive
ly for purposes of religion, wheth-
er as a church, school, or charit-
able institution. This is as it
should be. Property thus conse-
Grated to the service Of religion
and Of mankind more than repays
the state for this favorable con-
sideration by the influence for
good of which it is the center and
source. Tt helps to elevate the
moral tone Of society, and there
by contributes it's share towards
the preservation of law and or
der, and the inculcation of due re-
spect for civil authority and the
rights of individuals.
The mere fact that property is
owned by a religious institution
or corporation is not, in itself,
sufficient grounds for claiming ex-
emption from taxation. If the
property is not used exclusively
for church purposes, but is a
source of revenue for the owners,
it falls In the same category as
any other property used for bust
ness purposes and, therefore, it
should be made to contribute its
just proportion Of taxation in the
same way as any other business
enterprise. On such property the
state is within its right in exact
ing the usual taxes; and there is
no justification for the action Of
religious corporations which
would shirk their duty towards
the state by seeking exemption
from taxation on property which
is q source 0f revenue.
