Surplus of Women In Africa As Else.
Where.


Where.
In the twenty provinces of Uganda
the number of women exceeds that of
men by $4,000. From this greater
surplus it results that all cannot OBJ
tain husbands. This is particularly
the case at Rubaga, where the young
girls, the parisienes of Bugunda, have
the reputation of being little coquet-
fish, too fond of excitement and fine
dress and with little inclination to
work. But as the great mass of young
men have no other hands for the cult
walton of their bananeries than those
Of their spouses, they prefer a wom-
an of the province, less comely and
with hands hardened to toll, rather
than one more civilized but with aris-
tocratic fingers. The priests at Ru-
sbaga state that only half of the young
girls Of the district are able to make
Christian marriages.; with rare excep-
lions, these become faithful spouses
and conscientious mothers. OF the
Second half, composed of the young
married women, three-fifths remain
practical Christians.

A. o. H. War on Caricatures

The state officers of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians Of Colorado from
their Denver Office, this week are
sending letters to merchants all over
Colorado, requesting them not to sell
green pigs and the other disgusting
caricatures of Irish life as st. Pat
rick's Day souvenirs. J. D. Sullivan
of 255 Sherman street, Denver, state
secretary, is in charge Of the work.
Hundreds of the letters are to be dis
tributed.
1--WE are warning the merchants In
time," said Mr.. Sullivan, "and as
these letters will reach the dealers
before the souvenirs are ordered, we
anticipate no trouble. The merchants
courteously acceded to our request
last year."
The letter follows:
Gentlemen: In pursuance of a
movement started some time ago by
the Irish in America to discourage

SOME PosERs FOR MEN.

The Bulletin Of the Missionaries of
La Salette" propounds five questions
which many would do well to put to
themselves: Why is it that at ball
game, a prize-fght or the theater
men look for the best seats, but at
church pick out the last? Why is it
that men insist on representing the
women in politics, but expect the
women to represent them at religious
services? Why is it that when men
live and act according to their politi.
cal views they are consistent, but
when they practice their religion to
the letter they are narrow-minded!
Why do men disregard God in their
prosperity, but blame Him in advers'
ity? Why do men acknowledge the
right Of lodge or fraternity to is
sue bylaws, but deny the church the
right to enact precepts?

The Junior Order

The editor Of the Kentucky Irish
American has been studying the
Junior Order of American Mechanics,
with the following results. In the
declaration of principles our contem.
porary finds this:
"A white male citizen of the United
States born within it's then territory or
domain, or under the protection of its
flag"
This eliminates from membership
any foreign-born citizen, even after he
has become a naturalized citizen and
served his adopted country in any
way, and also even If he has rendered
service by enlisting and fighting in its
cause.
In another declaration the Junior
Order states: 1--WE recognize the land
ing upon our shores of the ignorant,
the vicious and the lawless of the old
world as constant menace to our in
situations and believe that it should
be viewed with alarm by the loyal and
patriotic citizens of the country" II
the above principle of this order were
in vogue at the time of the revolution.
airy and civil wars the United States
would have been lacking in many
heroic defenders, as these two strug
giles furnished heroes who were for
eign-born and probably would have
been barred from locating in the new
world, not because of their vicious
and lawless characters, but primarily
because of their religious belief

Criticizing the Priest

Why is it that some Catholics will
rather criticize the priest than pray
for him? To this question the fol.
lowing excellent answer is given by
Father P. J.. Dunno, in his News Boys
Journal:
Reverence for the priestly office
and for the priest is an Unborn instinct
in real Catholics. In some of the
saints this reverence has been so
great that they never dared to receive
the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Fran
els of Assist, genius of sanctity, de-
clared himself unworthy of so great
an honor. The Council of Trent says
that nowhere on earth may be found
power equal to the power possessed
by the humblest priest of consecrating
the Body of Christ and of RENTING
sins.
And yet
Father So.and-So is stuck up, or
Father So-and-So makes himself too
common. Or, he's too friendly, or
he's too cold, or he mixes too much
with the people, or he's never seen
outside the rectory.
HE talks too much about money"
(Poor man! his creditors talk a good
deal about money to him too; and
he has many bad hour wondering
who among his critics is going to help
him pay the coal billy Or, "Why
doesn't he buy new pews and put a
little paint on the walls like they're
doing in the parish beyond the
tracks?"
"He's too strict in the box, or he
never says word to you in the box,
or he says Mass too fast, or does he
think we can wait all morning for him
to be finishing Mass?"
And SO on ad intinitum. His critics
are not Protestants either. They are
Catholics; good Catholics, too, but a
little thoughtless. At their entrance
into this world some good priest was
waiting to make them children of God,

which is the underlying note in the
above declaration.
Another leading principle is the fol-
lowing: ITO uphold the American
public school system, to prevent intet-
ference Herewith and to encourage
the reading Of the Holy Bible therein. :"
By interference he meant the Catho-
lies having any voice in the govern
ment or conduct of the schools, al
though there is no denying the fact
that one dollar out of every five paid
to support the public schools is paid
by Catholics and on the other hand by
supporting the parochial schools they
save one-fifth of the public school ex-
pense. In other words the Catholics
contribute directly and indirectly two
fifths of the support of the public
schools. This sacrifice is made that
their children may secure an early re.
ligious training, and many Protestant
ministers and laymen are heartily en-
dorsing the soundness of this princi-
pie. In addition, the compulsory read
ing of the Protestant Bible in the pub
lie schools is manifestly unfair to
both Catholics and Jews.
In conclusion, the Junior Order of
United American Mechanics is an un-
American society, composed mostly of
dupes who are led by the nose for po-
litical purposes, and is proven every
where to be the promoter of religious
prejudice by the exploitation of fallen
priests and other such characters,
their methods being undermined and
despicable, and have no place in the
twentieth century.

heirs of heaven, by administering the
Sacrament of Baptism. Later in life
a priest was anxious to nourish them
with the Bread of Angels. Perhaps
like the Good Shepherd he brought
them back when they had strayed far
off into the desert of sin. And when
death draws near all the horror of his
coming will be lost, please God, in the
consoling presence of priest at their
side. They forget this-these critics
of the priest.
And they forget that when sorrow
comes to the priest, like the Master,
so His disciple, the priest, is alone in
his agony. He has renowned all that
the world values. No human love is
there to tighten his burden. He has
given up all to take on Christ, to be a
man consecrated to the work of help
ing others, doubly consecrated to God.
He does not complain-he wishes to
be like His Master-but he is only
human and the trial is often bitter.
The world can give him nothing-not
love, not even a home. Few of the
many human interests with which 9TH
er men may lawfully engage them
selves are open to him. He is a man
apart. And he knows that when he
dies, he will in all probability be very
quickly forgotten by those for whom
he has given his life, unmourned, very
often unprayed for.
oh, it is easy to criticize Gods min
listers, and many there are to throw
stones. But how many Catholics ever
pray for their priests that God may
give them the graces they need? Do
you ever offer Communion for them?
Did you ever in all your life make
a Novena for the priests of your par
ish?
Don't criticize your priests. Say a
prayer for them now and then instead.
Let us hope that Father DUNES ad-
vice will be needed, not only by the
boys to whom he addressed these
words, but by other people as we'll.

of the Church's sacraments. While
at Sun River a young girl was dying
at Diamond City and he was called.
He made the one and half days
ride, arriving in time to prepare the
girl for death. On one occasion Faith
er Kuppens was invited by a band
of Indians to go with them on a
hunting expedition. He had heard
the Indians speak of the wonderful
scenes, and this expedition went
through what is now Yellowstone
Park. The priest was amazed and re.
turning, told Governor General Meagh-
er about it, suggesting that Congress
make it national park, which Gov.
ernor Meagher forthwith proposed.
On one occasion he swan the Mis-.

quieting a miners disturbance. He
attended the five men who were
MORALLY injured in the fight, settled
the disturbance and swan back.
Characteristic of the isolation of
the mountain missions was the way
In which the priest heard of the as
sassination of President Lincoln. He
was riding down mountain trail after
a long, hard journey one day when
he met a miner with his mule laden
with gold dust. Stopping to chat, as
travellers will, they sat down.
whats the news?" asked the
priest.
well, the only thing know of,
returned the miner carelessly, 'is that
President Lincoln was assassinated. -
when did it happen?" the priest
asked excitedly.
About five months ago." the miner
replied.
In 1866 Father Kuppens was
sent to work at st. Stephens mission
near the Wind river, among the Arap
ahoe Indians. He returned to St.
Louis in 1868 and served at St. AIMS
in Normandy, st. Thomas in St. Louis
and st. Mary's in Kansas. In 1870 he
was sent among the Sioux Indians in
North Dakota at Fort Pierre. These
were the Indians who afterward got
in trouble under Sitting Bull.
His familiarity with the geogranh
lcal knowledge Of the West is consid
cred remarkable. Much of his time
