The Recorder expects to publish at
least some of the greatest fatalities and
casualties each season while the season
lasts. After that, the surviving con-
testants will probably bury the toma-
hawk and the scalping knife, and agree
to truce while the snow flies.

MONEY IN RABBITS.
Fine Chicken Feed When Dried
and Stored for Summer.

w. B. Lamb has not allowed the rab-
bit plague TO become an unqualified
burden this winter. He has preserved
a number of the rabbits he shot during
the winter, and they have been dying
and seasoning like so much green cord
wood. He expects to get bone cut
ter, and grind up the rabbit corpses
for his hens during the coming summer.
Rabbit meat is the finest egg-produc-
ing food ever used here; the flocks
that have had plenty of rabbit meat
this year have been the ones that
produce almost all the eggs. Mr.. Lamb
has shown how to develop a new indus
try-the use of the rabbit all through
the year instead of leaving them out in
the fields to pollute the air.

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

An exhibit or our diplomatic back
bone is scheduled to take place some
time during the coming months.
Heretofore we have been mainly con-
cerned with exhibiting our chests, as
for example, sending fleets around the
world, holding international fairs and
digging canals, but when it comes to
displaying the backbone of our ma
tionality we are looked upon as being
descendants of the invertebrate John
Hay, party to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. England refuses to adorn our
chest with any medals of honor at San
Francisco. England will not exhibit,
but when it comes to attacking us
where we are vulnerable John Bull
makes straight for our backbone, de.
mands that American coastwise trade
be not exempt from canal tolls and
England's demands are making an i'm
preston. A vigorous enforcement of
the Monroe Doctrine, consistent pur
suit of our present mind-our-own-busi-
ness policy in Mexico, in spite of Brit
ish pressure both directly and indirect
ly, the proper advertising of Eng
lands refusal to take part in the San
Francisco exhibition and an official
denunciation of the One Hundred
Years Peace Movement are matters
which would instill some confidence in
our American diplomacy and relieve
us from the stigma of John Hay-that
we are to be bought, talked or cajoled
out of our rights.

Who ever heard of a Catholic at
lacking the honesty of the private Sec
rotary of any president of the United
States? The howl means one thing,
that Prescott and his ilk think that
all political offices should be Protest
ant monopoly. The injustice behind
it. The president Protestant. No
one of the Catholic faith ever enjoyed
the Office. These anti-Catholics have
attacked both the president and the
Catholics. The attack is a boomerang
with which such idiots will destroy

Death Of Mrs. T. p. o,connor.

At Laffanna House, Cashel, on Jan.
II, Mrs. T. P. O'Connor passed to her
eternal reward in the ninety-eighth
year of her age. Up to few months
ago Mrs. O'Connor enjoyed good
health, and was able to attend church.
She was lady whose long life was
a reflex of every Christian virtue,
charity taking the lead. In "black
Al" the starving poor flocked to her
door to receive from her hand the
portion that saved them from death.
Tears filled her eyes when she met
anyone in distress, and she gave free
ly to all who needed her help. 1t was
her practice for many years to invite
certain poor in the parish to Sunday
dinner All loved and reverenced her.
The deceased lady was the embodi-
ment of history yet to be written.
The silent patriotism of Mrs. O'Con-
nor's family caused Thomas Francis
Meagher, Maurice Lyme, Terence Bel
lew McManus and O'Donoghue to Sc
lect Laffanna as a rendezvous before
joining Smith O'Brien at Ballingarry
in '4S. During the days these famous
patriots were in Laffanna she attend
ed to their needs, gave them changes
of clothing and was admired by them
as a noble specimen of the heroic
daughters OF Tipperary. She encour-
aged her patriotic husband, Mr.. T. P.
O'Connor, to sacrifice family inter-
ests in order to take part in the Ros-
sa, Hickman and Mitchell elections
and rid the country of British ascen.
dancy. In 1870 she allowed her son,
then student in st. Jarlath College.
Tuam, to take part in the Franco.
Prussian war. Her sympathy with
the French was so marked that the
sad death of the Prince Imperial was
to her akin to personal sorrow. Mrs.
O'Connor was intellectually gifted.
She was educated in the Ursuline
Convent, Thurles, and one of her
great admirers and devoted friends
was her cousin, the late loved and la
mented Archbishop Ryan of Philadel.

"Ad Limina" Visits.

The year 1914 will mean much for
the church in America. During this
year the Bishops from all parts of
the American continent will go to
Rome for their "Ad Limina" visit.
While there they will have an audi
ence with the Holy Father and report
the status of their dioceses.
From time immemorial in the his
tory of the Church it has been the
custom for Bishops to pay periodi-
cal visits to the Holy See, says the
Catholic Bulletin. These ad limina
visits were regulated by Sixtus v. in
1885, in this fashion: Italian Bishops
were to see the Pope every three
years; French, Spanish and other
Southern European Bishops every
four years; Bishops of Northern Eur
ope and Africa, every five years; and
those of Asia and other parts of the
world, every ten years. In 174O
Benedict XIV. confirmed this ordi-
nance, and it remained in force until
three years ago. On the last day of
1909 the Sacred Consistorial Congre-
cation published a decree, approved
by Plus x. that modified the exist
ing usage. In accordance with this
new legislation, all Bishops save those
depending directly on the Propaganda,
must visit Rome every five years, and
furnish the Holy Father with a re-
port Of the state of their diocese. The
year 1911, when the decree went into
effect, was reserved for the Bishops
of Italy and the neighboring islands.
The next year witnessed the visits of
the prelates Of England, Belgium.
Scotland, Spain, France, Holland, Ire
land and Portugal. The past year was
utilized by the Bishops of Germany,
Austria-Hungary and the other re-
gions of Europe. During 1914, the
Bishops of America will pay their ad
limina visits; and in 1915 their ex-
ample will be followed by the Bishops
Of Africa, Asia and Australia. Com
munication with Rome will, of course.
be more frequent on the part of all
Bishops than once in five years, but
at least once in that quinquennia1
period each prelate must have a per-
sonal interview with the head Bishop
of the Catholic world.

Monday of last week at their country
residence near Horsham and was bur-
led on Thursday at West Grinstead,
only personal friends of the family
being present. Mrs. Belloc leaves five
young children. She was of Irish de-

voted Catholic. Mr. Belloc is half
