The Steamer Belfast Collision Case.

BOSTON, Oct. Is. The United States
steamboat inspectors yesterday complet-
ed the investigation of the collision be-
tween the steamer Belfast and the four
masted schooner Alma E. A. Holmes,
which resulted in the sinking of the lat
ter. They will carefully consider the
testimony and will then forward their
decision to the supervising inspector
general of steam vessels at Washington.
No action has yet been taken by the
owners of the schooner against the
steamship company, although the usual
mode of procedure is to file libel cover
ing the loss of the vessel. Joseph
Holmes, ST., of Toms River, N. j., the
owner of the schooner, lie now IN this city
and has conferred with Capt. Henry A.
Smith, who was in command.
An effort was made by the lighthouse
tender Mayf1ower to locate the sunken
wreck to ascertain whether it obstructed
navigation, but soundings in the vicinity
of the spot where she was reported to
have foundered were unsuccessful.
The schooner and her cargo of coal
will be total loss, as the wreck is down
too deep to undertake to raise it.

PHEASANT SHOOTING IN MASSA.
CHUSETTS.

In "Vacation Notes" of visit in Rutland,
Mass, last July mention was made of the
stocking of that section of the State with Eng
fish pheasants, and of their great increase in
numbers. They have been protected until
now, but this year there is to be an open sea-
son and Pittsfeld. Mass, report under
date of Oct. 9th. says:
Sportsmen are rugged and ready for the open
season on pheasants in Berkshire. The covers
in Lenox and Lee are filled with birds. They
are so tame that they may be seen from the
trolley cars. and the early gunners in the
covers look for easy killing of the two birds a
day. Many land owners, in expectation of the
coming of the sportsmen, have posted their
lands. The breeders of pheasants believe that
the pheasants will be practically wiped out by
the gunners. The farmers, who have been
calling for an open season, hold the pheasants
to be more destructive to their crops than deer
and welcome the open season.
Because Of the drouth and the danger from
forest fires Gov. Walsh issued proclamation
declaring the open season off. Many forest
fires have been reported in Worcester county,
where the pheasants abound. Since this was in
type rain has come and the gunners will have
their innings.

War is Hell, Whether Gen. Sherman Said

ZAIDEE B. CARTER.

Here is vivid picture of the 'blight
of war;" by Holbrook Jackson, writing
in T. P's Weekly, which helps to illumi-
nate the war news dispatches:
''In the past our culture has availed
nothing, our science has availed nothing,
our reason has availed nothing-the
genius of destruction has won through to
It's appointed end. Vast armies move
across fair lands, leaving them desolate.
The work of ages is being reduced to
ashes before our very eyes. Innocent
little villages, whose simple folk desire
hardly more than permission to work and
pray and sleep. suddenly find themselves
in the track of an advancing army, and
they are crushed out Of existence as
though they had been no more than in
numbering road metal. Cities of peace,
knowing more of books than of guns, are
involved, unwittingly, in the same man.

the flame. 1t is a tragedy the world
has witnessed before, but never on so
great a stage, and never with performers
and before spectators who are so con-
scious of its folly"

LAW PROHIBITS BONFIRES.

Building bontires in any part of town,
within ten rods Q65 feet) of any building,
is against the laws of the State, as set
forth in Section "a of Chapter 1928, and
is punishable by fine of eight dollars or
imprisonment for one month. People
who have leaves, cornstalks, or other
refuse to dispose of, usually 60 about it
in the easiest way-build bonfire of it.
And in doing this they have been apt to
disregard the State law governing the
situation. Scores of bonfires built in the
cutters within a short distance of build
ings may be found in the city during any
fair day of the present month. -Lewiston

had to help themselves, there being no
dining room stewards. This was the last
trip of the Finland; on her return she
was converted into transport. We had
perfect passage; great contrast to
our trip from Montreal, when we had
thick fog over the same route where the

two days later. Then icebergs. followed
by weather so rough that my trunk, with
me sitting on it, would go skating the
whole length of the cabin. Everyone
was so happy to be on the way home that
we would have patiently endured the

as the proverbial mill pond. Some
women were so Frustrated, however,
after the long strain was over that they

day, Sept. 18th, and think no one look

day, judging by the joyous faces. AS
we were watching the pier for familiar

shook like leaf in my arms, and l real
lied more fully what great mental
and nervous strain we had all endured,
for never in her days of deepest anxiety
had her bright courage and self-control
failed. None of US ever admitted that
we were in real danger, but the POSSIBLE
ity of most unpleasant conditions was al
ways present in our minds, for we per-
sonally knew of many who had met such
conditions. So we are thankful to reach
home safely, and grow more thankful

Aro0stook Potatoes

From IS to 80 cents for Mountains and
from $1.OO to 81. 10 for Cobblers for seed

All are coming very slowly, and most

have nipped the points of some undug

First Pastoral Letter and. Adj
dressed to Universal Catho-
lie World.
The War Has Struck Him With
Unutterable Horror and
Sadness.
HOPES FOR The end OF WARS

Through the Associated Press
came information that last Friday
the Observatore Romano, the official
organ of the Vatican. had published
the first pastoral letter from Pope
Benedict XIV. in the form of an
encyclical to the episcopacy of the
world. 1t contains the programme
for the pontificate of Pope Benedict,
which summarized, calls for renewed
efforts to spread religion throughout
the world and urges peace and broth
erhood among peoples and nations in
fear of God.
The encyclical, which is addressed
to the Universal Catholic world,
deals with the European war. Look
ing out upon the flock intrusted to
our care" Pope Benedict says, "the
immense spectacle of general war
has struck us with unutterable hor-
ror and sadness.
"When we see such a considerable
portion of Europe devastated by fire
and sword and drenched with the
blood of Christians, 1t is encumbent
upon us to embrace all without dis
tinction, lambs and sheep, in the
arms of paternal charity"
The Pope implores intercession for
peace to the Virgin, whose nativity
has just been celebrated, and then
continues: "We exhort most ear
nestly those who govern the destiny
of the nations that they should
bring themselves to a frame of mind
whereby they may put aside all dis
sensions contrary to the welfare oi
humanity. Let them realize that
there already is too much suffering
and sorrow attached to this mortal
life and that it should not be rem
dered more wretched or more sor'
rowful, let them realize how much
ruin and disaster already has been
wrought and how much human blood
already has been she'd"
Addressing the heads OF the ma
tions the Pope says: Hasten there
fore to enter into a council Of
peace. Grasp the right hand Of
friendship and receive special re,
ward from God for yourselves and
your nations and earn the greatest
praise from the brotherhood o.
man"
The encyclical ends by the Pop'
expressing the hope that the begin
ming of his pontificate will see ths
end of wars.

slimly attended, Mayor Buschemeyer,
Acting Mayor Miller, Judge Bingham
and Attorney w. w. Davies, all ad-
vertised speakers, falling to appear,
this ending the efforts of society
with bigotry as its motto to receive
an impetus at the hands of the
fraternal orders of the Falls Cities
and surrounding towns.
One noticeable feature was that
the marchers were practically un-
known to everyone along the line OF
march, receiving no greetings from
anyone on the sidewalks or in win
dows, walking along in utter silence,
maintaining a dogged, sullen air.
Nearly to a man none of the march
ers are ever seen in public gather
ings and places, yet their political
leaders and dictators attempt to
control our elections by voting them
as a unit with religious bigotry as
their standard. The cold reception
received may arouse many of them
to realize their standing in the COM
munity, it is hoped, and in addition
plans may be set on to have a real
fraternal day here next year and not
a celebration under A. p. A. aus
pices. as was the fizzle of Saturday.

The committees having submitted
their final reports, resolutions thank
ing Father McCaffrey, the Hiber-
mans of Covington and Newport and
the citizens for their hospitality, an
hour was given over to short talks,
made by ex-State President Dom
nelly, County Presidents Connolly,
Howard and Shine, who reviewed the
history of the past two years and
felt the convention had done good
work. The election of officers
closed the business of the convention,
and resulted as follows:
Chaplain--Rev. T. ]. McCaffrey.
President-James McBreen, Gov
ington.
Vice President-Thomas Tarpy,
Louisville.
Secretary-T. ]. Ryan, Covington.
Treasurer-Thomas Howard, Jr.,

The officers were installed by the
retiring State President, and in
closing Father McCaffrey commended
the work of the convention, and
urged the Hibernians to uphold Irish
character and intellectually and ever
love the grand country that now
shelters them. He asked that all
grasp hands and always stand for
true Hibernianism.
