IRISH HISTORICAL CHART.

The Irish Standard" Is favored with
a copy of Arlen's Chart on Irish His
tory. The patience, time and energy
spent by the author in making such q
compilation of historical data is mar.
velous.
One might at first suppose that the
possession of so much information as
is contained in the chart would entile
a person to the claim of liberal edu.
cation. Certain it is, however, that
the import of the main features out.
lined in the chart would give an i'm
petus to the study of Irish history and
the political, economic and educational
connection of Ireland with continental
Europe.
The deplorable political situation in
Ireland and her commercial neglect
and subserviency is to a great extent
responsible for Ireland's historical neg.
lect. Ireland has been overshadowed in
her ambitions, and her history neglect.

facts of such history. Thus it becomes
necessary to bring forth something at
once which will outline at glance
this neglected national history. One
of the chief values of the chart lies
in fact that it "gets you somewhere
without delay. You grasp the impor-
lance at once. The outline of Irish
history furnishes a frame work which
even the casual reader may adorn and
embellish here, with the somber tones
taken from her sad political history
and there, blend them with the bright
er colors of Erin's virtue and learning,
and love of liberty. The just proper
lions forming proper conception of
Irish life and nationality.

Bogus "oaths" Of Catholic fraternal
organizations are among the latest
fads now being exploited by bigots
to allay the progress, and hamper the
influence of the Catholic Church.
Some weeks ago a bogus "oath" was
published in Ireland alleged to be the
oath taken by the members of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians in Ire
land. Since then the editor of paper
published in Nova Scotia printed in
his paper the bogus oath" alleged to
be taken by the members of the
Knights of Columbus. Proceedings
have been instituted against the Rev.
Burgess, editor of the Nova Scotia
paper, and it is safe to assume that
he will fare no better than his CO.
horts in Philadelphia who were re-

A certain (Rev.) J. A. Gotham, a
Methodist minister of Dearborn, Mich,
made a very unsuccessful attempt to
capitalize bigotry and prejudice by
spreading the report that Catholics
were responsible for the destruction
of his home by fire on Jan. rs. The
Rev. Gotham is now in jail charged with
having set fire to the house himself
in order to collect the insurance. A
letter purporting to have been written
expressing satisfaction over the burn.
ing of the house and signed "A Catho.
lie" bears close resemblance to the
handwriting Of the minister himself.
He is reported to have collected insur-
ance before under similar circum-
stances. How long will it take some
people to learn that if they start in
business of any sort with a capital
of bigotry and prejudice they will
sooner or later, generally sooner, go
into the hands of a receiver, or, like
this reverend gentleman, fall into the
hands Of the legal authorities.

Ex-Mayor Nathan of Rome, the Eng

appointed Royal commissioner to rep

certainly the limit of effrontery. Ma

presence in Italy has been marked by
the sole desire of leading the Anti
Clericals and Anti-C Catholics. His
election as mayor of Rome was not in
good faith. He was elected because
he was scoffer and mocker, be
cause some italian fanatics wished tc

If the italian Government did not

"eo TO CHURCH SUNDAY"

w ~ S70nSTJ oONOAYs
Go to Church Sunday, March First
has occupied the space on the bill
boards and the columns of the press
the message was transmitted by tele
phone and displayed on placards. Last
Sunday was to-Church Sunday in
Minneapolis. The noses have been
carefully counted and the results for
thirty.six churches indicate an in.
creased attendance of nearly one hun.
dred per cent. Fourteen thousand,
eight hundred and sixteen was the at.
tendance noted for March last Sunday,
as against 7,549 the Sunday previous
in these thirty-six churches. The min
listers estimate that this increase
would hold true of the entire city and
that 100 per cent could be safely taken
as the total increase in church attend
ance in Minneapolis as a result of the
campaign. Among the churches for
which figures are given not one is
Catholic, and on the basis of increased
attendance the Catholic church of
Minneapolis would make a sorry
showing. Why were no Catholic
chruches on the list, and why no spon-
taneous increase in church attendance
among Catholics? Dear separated
and misguided brethren, it Is so be-
cause Catholics are there every Sun
day. In the eternal fitness of things
we are unable to see the connection
between a poster advertising the fact
that We are expected to make special
effort to attend church on a particular
Sunday, and another poster exhibiting
