A HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION.

The mortality records of all big
companies show that in proportion to
the number of men insured, more sa-
loon-keepers die yearly than men in
any other work save, perhaps, railroad
brakemen and gun testers in the
navy and army.
What is the cause of this great
mortality among men who keep sa-
looms? Liquor, you will say, and you
are right in a measure, but not who'll
ly so. No doubt many saloon men
do shorten their lives by use of alco-
hol, but if they do not drink at all the
rate of insurance we charge them
would still be very high. The reason
is what we call the moral hazard.
Just what this is it is hard to say.
Summed up, it is merely that they die
easier and more often than men in
other occupations.
Detailed, it is, in general way,
they are open to greater temptations,
break down their resistance, and
many of them contract diseases where
other men would not How many sa-
loon men have died of pneumonia dur
ing the winter? Scores of them, usu-
ally. And pneumonia is not the only
disease. Their money is made easily
(speaking of the saloon owner), and
among that class easily won money
means that it is spent easily. Easily
spent means a free and easy manner
of life, which cuts years relentlessly
from the lives of men.
"Then there is the mortality
through accident. The list of saloon
men who have been shot or killed
with blow from a bottle, or in
brawls and melees is long, especially
among the poorer class saloons"
The man behind the bar does not
look upon his job as dangerous, no
matter what the insurance companies

A CHINESE OPINION.

WI Ting-Fang, late Chinese Minis
ter to the United States, contributes
to the current Harper's Magazine his
impressions of American dinners and
manners. We commend his point q.
view relative to drinking at public
banquets and dinners. He says:
81 do not suppose that many will
agree with me, but in my opinion it
would be more agreeable, and would
improve the general conversation, if
all drinks of an intoxicating nature
were abolished from the dining table.
1t is gratifying to know that there are
some families (may the number in
crease every day., where Intoxicating
liquors are never seen on their tables.
So long as the liquor traffic is extern
sively and profitably carried on in
Europe and America, and SO long as
the consumption of alcohol is so enor-
nous, so long will there be a differ
ence of opinion as to it's i'll effects;
but in this matter America, by means
Of it's State prohibition laws, is setting
an example to the world. In no other
country are there such extensive
tracts without alcohol as the dry

ANT DIVORCE LEAGUE
CATHOLIC LAWYERS OF MAssA-
CHUSETTS FORM LEAGUE TO
DISCOURAGE DIVORCE.

The Catholic lawyers of Massachu-
sets are forming a league to dis
courage divorces in the Old Bay State
In the call sent out by State Treas
urer Mansfield for the initial meet
ing, he says: eff every Catholic law
yer in Massachusetts will join this
proposed league and pledge himself
not to take any new divorce business
and to appear in divorce cases only to
contest them on behalf of the libellee
or correspondent, or in order to safe
guard the rights of the libellee as to
the custody of the children or in re-
CARDS to the alimony, / think long
step will have been taken toward the
eradication of divorces in Massachu-
Sets"
In addition to doing what is here
laid down, every Catholic lawyer who
will join the anti-divorce league will
be asked to use every endeavor to
bring about a reconciliation between
the parties seeking divorce.

his life.
But if Redmond had to circum-
vent and to checkmate the ablest
politicians in England he had also
some troubles at home. He could
have been very comfortable max
ing the English play his game for
him if only Belfast and Tipperary
would let him alone. But Belfast
shouted her watchwords, eng

keeps shouting them; and John
had to see that the noise did
not distract his English puppets
while they danced to his whistling.
And hot-tempered Tipperary was
a handful while it watched Carson
strutting around asking Tipp to
be so kind as to tread on the tail
of his coat. When all is said and
done it must be admitted that
Redmond's biggest task and
greatest achievement was to make
Tipperary keep nice and cool. And
Tipperary here stands for Irish
Ireland from her outposts in
Derry and Belfast in the very
heart Of Orangeism to Cork and
Galway. Redmond has no unkind
word for any of those big tur-
bulent boys of his. He knows that
when he gets them together in
College Green, he will make them
shake hands and go ahead in the
grand new work of National Re-
generation that is waiting for
them. Redmond is able to do that,
and it is a big thing to do. The
new Irish Parliament will be con-
fined to "purely Irish affairs. -
But Ireland has her own notion
as to what that means. Redmond

ment in Dublin, that onward

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
INSCRIPTIONS IN TUSCULAN CAT
ACOMB SHOWS VARIOUS
GRADES OF sAcERDoTAL Or
DERS.

A late issue of the "Osservatore
Romano" contains an account of re-
cent discoveries in the Tusculan Cat
acomb on the Vic Latina, ten miles
from Rome, which seem to establish
the fact that it was founded at an
earlier period than was at first i'm
agined-the third century instead Of
the fourth.
Most interesting inscriptions have
been found in it, one of them record
ing the name of a certain Faustus,
who is described as an "Exorcist"-
one of the minor orders. Another
bears the name of Januarius, who is
mentioned as Deacon" A fragment
of marble inscription bears only
one word: "Presbyter"
These are valuable documents
which show that the various grades
of the sacerdotal order we're in exist
ence in this little country village,
whose dead were placed to rest in
this simple Catacomb, between the
third and fourth centuries of the
Christian era.

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE.

The following editorial ap-
peared in the Minneapolis Journal
of May 80:
"There is developing in the
United States species of religious
intolerance that should be
stamped out promptly. There are
differences between the Catholic
and the Protestant churches that
are fundamental. The great ma
jority of Catholics and Protestants
recognize the differences with
dignity and becoming tolerance,
but few extremists on both sides
indulge in bigoted expressions.
For instance, the Journal re-
ceives frequent anonymous letters
objecting to the printing of Cath
Ollie news. This is the worst form
of bigotry, so un-American as to
merit contempt.
Gone of the great underlying
principles of the Constitution is
freedom of religious opinion. The
Protestant, the Catholic and the
Jew, can worship God in accord
ance with conscience. Any attempt
to draw a secular newspaper into
religious controversy as between
sects is un-American. No good
will come of 'Anti-Catholic
movements, or 'anti-Protestant
movements. All controversies of
that character should be frowned
on. And they are objected to by
the great body of Catholic and
Protestant citizens.
"The Journal believes in the
American principle of religious
liberty. 1t stands on this ground
against intolerance, as it believes,
with the great sane majority of
both Catholics and Protestants.
In any event, we may here add,
this paper will continue to print
Protestant news and Catholic
news. IL there are those Of either
faith so intolerant as to hold on
this line to an un-American prin-
ciple, they and not those who are
tolerant of religious opinion, are
the enemies of their country.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

The peace-loving citizens of
Pennington, Mimi, were shocked
last Saturday morning on learning
that during the night some indi-
vidual had placarded the town
with posters announcing lecture
in Music Hall by that youthful
specimen Of the eX-nun tribe,
known as Anna Lowry, whom a
cruel judge in Winona lately fined
for using filthy language in her
talk "for women only" AS soon
as the owner of Music Hall real
lied the purpose for which it had
been secured he cancelled the con-
tract and those who invited Anna
were unable to secure another
hall. Notwithstanding this, Anna
and her octogenarian husband ar
rived in Pennington two days
before the date set for the lecture.
Her coming caused CONSERVATION
in the camp Of her friends who
found all the available halls in the
town closed against them. There
was nothing to do but make the
best of the situation, and after
spending the night in Pennington,
Anna and her husband boarded
a train early the next morning.
The decent citizens of Farming
ton are glad that she came because
her presence confirmed them in
the knowledge they had already
secured about those who were in
strumental in bringing her. The
prime movers in this attempt to
stir up religious bigotry were the
pastors Of the Presbyterian and
Of the German Lutheran churches
who, when it came to show
down, found that the majority of
their people did not approve of
their action. What must the
clean-minded men and women of
these congregations think of their
pastors? Isn't it nearly time to
rid their churches Of the incubus
of men who, under the guise of
preaching the gospel of truth and
righteousness, deem it consistent
with their duties as religious lead
ers to bring into the community
such a vile creature as Anna
Lowry to lecture "for women
only?

A BIGOT REBUKED.

The clause in the National APP
preparation Bill providing for an
increase Of chaplains for the navy,
which was thrown out on a point
of order raised by Representative
Tribble Of Georgia when the bill
came before the House of Repre-
sentatives, has been restored by
the members of the Senate Naval
Committee and, if no further OBJ
jections are raised against it, it
will pass the Senate and become
law when signed by the President.
Congressman Tribble of Geor-
gia, bears all the earmarks Of a
bigot, if his action in this regard
may be taken as an index of his
attitude towards the Church. The
bill called for an increase Of navy
Chaplains from twenty-four to fif-
ty-two. 1t had the support of
many Protestant organizations
anxious to see that the sailors
were provided with facilities for
religious service on board their
ships. In opposing the bill Con-
gresham Tribble made it very
clear that his sole objection was
to Catholic Chaplains; but since
any increase in the number of
Chaplains would necessarily in
yolve an addition to the number
of Catholic Chaplains, he opposed
the measure as a whole.
It seems that Tribble was moved
to do this through personal pique.
He had urged the claims of a
Baptist minister, friend of his,
to Chaplaincy, but the minis
ter failed to pass the test and
Tribble put on his Guardians
of-Liberty uniform and sailed
forth to do battle against the
measure. In spite of the efforts
made by other non-Catholic Rep
resentatives the clause was elimi-
mated and after passage the bill
went to the Senate Committee
which has now restored it to its
original form.
Tribble's opposition to an in
crease of Chaplains was com.
mended by organizations which
are always ready to stand sponsor
for an anti-Catholic program. All
a recent meeting Of the Epworth
League, in the District Of Column
bia, a resolution was passed com.
mending Tribble for his fight
against the proposed increase OF
Chaplains because, the measure
was advocated by only one relig
ious denomination, which was, il
goes without saying, the Catholic
Church. AS a matter of fact al
the Christian churches of the
United States cooperated in adj
vocating this measure.
Tribble will deserve watching
He has shown his animus and dis
played his true colors. He i;
easily classified. He is by M
means a rare specimen. What hi
hopes to gain by his anti-CatholiC
bigotry is not quite clear except
it be the favor of constituency
in which an exhibition of anti
Catholic bile will pass for thu
acme of political wisdom.

UNIVERSITY, sUccUMBs AFTER
OPERATION.

The Reverend Jerome Daugherty, S.
j., former president of Georgetown
University, Washington, d. c., died
in st. Vincent Hospital, on May "a,
after an operation. He was born in
Baltimore on March 25, 1849, studied
under the Jesuits at Loyola College,
Baltimore, and was admitted to the
Society of Jesus in 1865. He studied
theology at Woodstock College, Wood
stock, Md, and was ordained to the

He taught at st. Francis Xavier Col
lege, New York City; Boston College,
Boston, and Loyola College, Balti-
more. For four years he was vice
president of Gonzaga College, Wash
ington, and then became vice-presi-
dent of Georgetown University. In
January, 1901, was called to New
York, where he was made assistant to
the provincial of the Society of Jesus.
He was appointed president of
Georgetown University July II, 1901.
Ill health caused his retirement in
August, 1905. During his presidency
the college buildings were increased
by the Ida Ryan Hall and the Ryan
gymnasium, new wing of the univer-
sity hospital, the Hirst library and
the Kober operating amphitheatre.
He added fourth year to the law
school course of the university, intro
duced lectures in ethics into the medi-
cal school and established dental
college. He also strengthened the
alumni organizations.

IRELAND'S VICTORY.

Home Rule is victory for Irish
craftsmanship. John Redmond
had no army, no navy, no diplo-
matte corps to help him against
England, and yet he won. And
from whom has he won? From
the men who control the destinies
Of the world from Panama and
Mexico to Egypt and Japan. He
has won a confession Of wrong
doing and a measure Of reparation
from the astute politicians who
have been able to convert so many
Americans to English notions of
national honor
Redmond had to overcome Eng
fish prejudice. He had to prevail
against English bigotry. He had
to inspire the dull, inert mass of
English toilers with the sense of
manhood, with the Irish passion
of democracy and freedom, and to
arouse them against the en-
trenched fortresses of Feudal
Privilege. He detailed that work
to T. P. 0'Connor; and that able
lieutenant made Of every Irish
exile in Great Britain a fiery
apostle of democracy. What did
these Irishmen in England do for
their English fellow-workers :?
They made men Of them. Today
an Irishman in England very fire.
quently enjoys the refreshing and
somewhat amusing experience of
listening to a pure-bred anglo
Saxon" child of John Bull spout
ing Irish treason against the
House of Lords. English work
ingmen had not the idea Or the
courage to go into politics on their
own account till the Irish shamed,
scolded and kicked them into it.
It is no wonder that when those
Irish from England return to Dub
lin as delegates to Irish National
Conventions they are about the
hottest Nationalist in the crowd.
They, least of all, appreciate the
innate superiority of John Bull
and his God-given right to do with
Ireland just what he pleases. And
this wholesome Fenianism is only
made the more piquant by the
somewhat outrageous Cockney
accent. IL in spite of Parson and
Peer the English masses dare to
call their souls and their votes
their own, they owe this strange
new manhood of theirs to the
United Irish League Of Great
Britain guided by John Redmond
and T. P. O'Connor. Ireland by
herself could not crush English
Feudalism in England; so she
simply got the English to do it
for her and for themselves. 1t is
true that the English do not as
yet feel quite happy under the
frowns of high society; it will
take some time for them to get
accustomed to the exhilarating
doctrine of these mad Irishmen,
that the masses were not made by
Providence to do the bidding and
thankfully accept the kicks of
the naughty aristocrats. The
