The net operating income of the
railroads of the United States for the
year ending June 80, 1914, was Sis,
554,S75 less than for the previous
year The gross earnings for the year
were $66,69S,486 less than for 1918
while expenses and taxes were SAC,
535,653 more. But heavy as this
burden was before the great struggle
across the seas, carrying in its wake
the destruction of untold hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of all kinds
of property. renders the situation a
thousand-fold more serious. 1t means,
in short, that for number of years
to come Europe will have no surplus
money for investment in the United
States or elsewhere and that Amer
ican railroads will have to finance
their future needs at home! How
herculean this task will be, saying
nothing about protecting themselves
against the dumping of foreign secur-
titles, may be judged from the fact
that the bond and note obligations
which will mature between now and
the end of next year and which the
railroads will have to meet in some
way amount to more than$5 3,000,-
000-and this doesn't take dollars
worth of new improvements or bet

Romance Of Irish Peerage.

The Honorable Reginald French,
heir to the late Lord De Freyne by
his first wife, the Marquis of Zet-
lan's sister, arrived at his ancestral
home, Frenchpark, recently.
He had a most romantic career,
having first served in the English
army, then disappearing and turning
up as a private soldier in the Amer.
lean army. When his father died in
September last, it was stated that his
heir was in the Philippine Islands,
and would never return to inherit
the family residence ;Md estate. He
set these rumors at naught by his
return, and he was met by a large
number of tenantry and townspeople,
who gave him a hearty welcome.
The DeFreyne family-who, by the
way are Catholics-were always held
in high esteem by the people of Ros.
common, and their benevolence to all
classes has won them widespread pop.
ulartiy.

John Mccormack Western Success.

John McCormack's Western Success
John Mccormack, the celebrated
Irish tenor, is back again in America,
with all his endearing young charms
and reports from the West, where he
is now appearing, indicate that he
has lost none of his popularity with
music lovers in this country.
Thirty-two hours after his arrival,
he packed the new Opera House in
Victoria, B. c., from pit to dome. At
Vancouver the following night he had
three hundred people on the stage to
keep him company. At Portland, over
three hundred people-as many as
the authorities would permit-were
glad to be able to stand up, after all
the seats in the spacious armory were
sold out. Two concerts were given in
Los Angeles, and the Minstrel Boy
would not be permitted to leave the
city until he had given his promise
that he would come back on Feb. %
to sing for the thousands of people
who were unable to gain admission to
either one of the two concerts just
given.
Mr.. McCormack's only appearance
in recital in the Northwest will be
in the Minneapolis Auditorium on
Wednesday evening, March II, at 8:15
o'clock. At this concert he will be as.

ington cast spell of gloom in ST..

own behalf as a candidate for the city
council. Mr.. Redington was a genial,
whole-souled man of very kindly dis
position. He had a wide circle Of ad-
miring friends and acquaintance who
feel his loss keenly. His life was
saddened by the recent death of his
wife, formerly Miss Blanche King,
whom he married on Oct. 10th, 1912,
and who died Jan. 9Th of the present
year.
The funeral of Mr.. Redington took
place Thursday morning. Services

by Father Corrigan. The pail bearers

horses and goats after they had been
bitten by poisonous reptiles because
the patients developed severe alb

MINNEAPOLIS NEWS
MRS. M. c. BRADY.

Her Death Takes Place at the Family
Residence After a Long illness.
Saturday, February the 2Sth, at ten
minutes before one o'clock, Mrs. M.
G. Brady slept peacefully in the Lord,
fortified by the sacraments of holy
church, at her late residence, 5000
Pleasant avenue. The obsequies were
held at the church of the Incarnation,
of which the lamented deceased was
most exemplary member, on Tues.
day morning, March the third. A
large delegation of the Ladies' Altar
Society of the church escorted the
funeral cortege from the residence to
the church. Father Cleary, the pastor,
celebrated the requiem mass, and paid
a generous and fervent tribute to her
splendid character.
Mrs. Brady was native of Wiscon-
sin, having been born in the town of
Empire. Fond du Lac county, about
fifty-six years ago. Since January,
1900, at which time she became the
wife of Mr.. Brady, Minneapolis has
been her home. She was the daughter
of Mr.. Charles McCrory and his wife,
Mary Lafferty. She is survived by
her devoted husband, who feels most
keenly his great bereavement, by her
sister, Mrs. James Kennedy, of Min
neapolis, and by her brother, Mr..
Charles McCrory, who resides on the
old homestead in Fond du Lac county.
Mrs. Brady was esteemed very high
ly by large circle of admiring friends
on account of her many noble quail
ties of head and heart. She had been
a patient sufferer for many years from
the malady that finally caused her Ia
mented death. Her Christian forti-
tude and confiding resignation to Gods
holy will, edited all who enjoyed the
intimacy of her friendship. She had
always been a devout and fervent
Catholic, faithful and efficient in ev-
cry good work in the cause of reli-
gion. Her intelligent and practical
preparation for death, during the past
two months, especially, as she felt the
end drawing near, has left a lasting
and wholesome impression upon all
who witnessed her patient endurance.
She was dutiful daughter, a devoted
helpmate to her husband, an ideal
homemaker, a kind neighbor, generous
to the needy, woman whose fear of
the Lord entities her to praise. May
she rest in peace.
