Cleveland, o., March 25.-Mrs. Char
lotte -Porter-Briggs of Cleve-
lan6, who posed in the nude for the
famous picture Innocence" and her
millionaire husband, Victor Harvey
Briggs, of New York, who petitioned
for annGlment Of their marriage be-
cause of the picture, are in the process
of making up, according to New York
dispatches. The dispatches also say
that Briggs says he wasn't anxious for
his friends to be able to display views
Of his wife that went September

willing to withdraw her divorce suit,
he'll forgive.
He ought to forgive" said Mrs.
l. NJ. Vanderbilt, 597 East 1O7th stree,
sister of Mrs. Briggs. Further than
that he should feel proud Any man
should who has a wife with a figure
like Charlotte's.
Besides, he knew that she was
posing when he married her. 1t was
altogether different then, though; he
liked the pictures.
How do l feel about them max
ing up? It's a good thing, I guess
We've always liked Mr.. Briggs, and
they got along all right excepting
for the row about the picture"
In New York, Mrs. Briggs, who is
called Charlotte Mayburne" at the
play houses where she has been seen,
wasn't so sure that the making up
was the best thing for her.
"He needn't think I'm going to stop
posing" she said Il wanted a career
that's why I came to New York.
Here's part of the story:
About three years ago I decide |
t. come to New York. wanted 20
go on the stage. At odd times I
posed for artists such as Christy,
Gibson and others. I got an engage
ment at the Hippodrome in New
York and also at the Winter Gar
den.
Early in October, 1912, Mr.. Briggs
came to the Winter Garden, saw
me and fell in love with me. he
came around to the stage entrance
one night and we were introduced.
He met me nearly every night after
that. l wasn't quite nineteen and ne
was forty. He was a millionaire sew
eral times over.
"On the night of October 20, 1912,
he said l simply had to marry him.
Some few days before he had pro-
posed, but I didn't accept him. I
told him l still was married.
"'Oh, that doesn't matter he said
You marry me, and after that we Il
get the first marriage annulled.'
Weds Him But Fears Him
After the matinee on October 80
1912, he came to me and threatened
TO shoot me if l didn't marry him

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

The Department of Agriculture
of the University Of Minnesota
has made arrangements to offer
to the farmers of this State forty
or fifty short courses of instruc
ton during the winter months.
These courses are of five days
duration and consist of practical
work in corn, grain and stock
judging, cooking and other sub
jects connected with the farm and
farm life. It is planned to have
a car of horses, cattle, corn, grain
and other agricultural and domes-
tic science exhibits taken to each
town where the institute is held
for purposes Of demonstration.
The work done in these insti-
tutes is similar to that offered in
the short courses at the different
schools of agriculture throughout
the State. The only difference is
that in this case the school comes
to the farmer and makes it I'M
necessary for him to go to the
school.
There is strong demand for
these short courses. Those in
charge of the work declare that
three times as many applications
were received from country towns
last winter as could be taken care
of. In order to secure one OF
these courses all that is necessary
is that the local interest be suffi-
Gent to properly advertise the
institute and look after the neces-
sary details and expense. Assur-
ance must be given that at least
seventy-fve men, or boys over
fifteen years Of age, will attend
the agricultural work and forty
women the domestic science
course. In addition, sufficient
funds must be secured to pay pre-
miums for exhibits of agricultural
and domestic science products.
The promoters of these insti-
tutes do not charge for their serv-
ices. but those who attend the
courses are expected to pay a fee
of from one to two dollars in or
der to defray the incidental ex-
penses.
This movement for the dissem-

nation Of more scientific knowl-
edge in agriculture and household
economy cannot fail to be of i'm
mense benefit to those who take
advantage of it. Every one of
the smaller towns should make an
effort to secure this course for
the farming population of the
vicinity. Apart from it's educa-
tional value to the individual and
the community it will have the eff
feet of stimulating the interest of
the farming population in every
movement that is for the general
welfare of the State. It will give
an insight into the scientific agri-
cultural methods actually in oper-
alton and tend to make more tan
gible the advantages of farm life.

The second week in February
will mark the beginning Of the
last stage in Ireland's struggle
for Home Rule. King George has
fixed February 10 as the date for
the re-assembling Of the British
Parliament. The coming session
will witness the final passage of
the Home Rule Bill which takes
precedence over the Welsh Discs
tablishment and the Plural Vot-
ing Bills. Irishmen at home and
abroad and their descendants in
all parts Of the world will await
the triumphant outcome Of Ire
lands struggle for self-govern-
ment with the greatest interest.
They have the sympathy of many,
not of Irish blood, who will rejoice
with them when the darkness of
the century-long night of Ireland s
misery and misrule shall have been
dissipated by the rising sun of a
new era during which the old land
will demonstrate to the world the
wisdom of those who fought and
bled that she might attain an hon
Ored place among the nations of
the earth.

defence of their rights as citizens,
and resulted in bringing about a
solidarity in their ranks which
augurs well for the future.
A case in point may be cited.
The Catholics of Winona have just
passed through the fire of visi-
tation from Professor" Sims of
Bay City, Mich, a lecturer-at-
large for the so-called Guardians
of Liberty. Sims wound up a
series Of lectures in Winona on
Sunday, the 18th inst. That af-
ternoon the Catholics of Winona
met at st. Joseph's Hall and took
steps to unite in one grand fed
Grafton all the Catholic men of
Winona County, irrespective of
nationality. No longer will there
be question Of Irish, German, or
Polish Catholics: in future they
will be simply Catholics, loyal to
the Church and banded together in
defence Of their rights. They
mean business, and woe betide
Sims or any one of his kind who
attempts to secure a hearing in
Winona in future. Even the non
Catholics are utterly disguised
with the result of Sims visit and
they would not tolerate repeti-
ton of anything similar to it.
This is good news, though the
so-called Guardians Of Liberty will
not like to hear that the Catholics
are uniting in self-defence against
such "patriotic" citizens as the
Guardians profess to be- We hope
the enthusiasm Of the Catholics
of Winona will not soon evapor
ate, and that their example will
be followed by the Catholics Of
other localities among whom there
is less solidarity than there ought
to be. elm union there il
strength" Long ago the non
Catholics realized the truth of this
adage. Catholics have been slow
to take advantage Of the strength
which lies in numbers joined to
gether in a holy cause anc
animated by lofty purpose.

THE NEED OF THE HOUR.

The following words of the il
lustrious Orestes A. Brownson are
of special import at the present
time and we commend them to the
earnest consideration Of our read
ers: eve do not want Catholics
to be political agitators, or place
hunters; but we do want them to
be Americans in the fullest and
best sense Of the term; we do
want them to study and under
stand the institutions and the
mission Of the country, and
to devote themselves with best
thoughts and energies to the
interests of American civilization
in every sphere or way which
Providence opens to them; we do
want them to take the lead in
every department of human activ-
ity; in a word, to understand the
enviable position in which God
has placed them, and to rise to it's
height. -

Next Monday, February 2, is
the Feast of the Publication of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, commonly
known as Candlemas Day. 1t
commentaries the solemn presen-
tation Of the Child Jesus in the
temple in accordance with the pre-
scriptions of the Mosaic Law.
This feast was celebrated from
earliest times in Jerusalem and
definitely assigned to this date in
the fourth century when it's OBJ
servance became general through
out the Church.
1t derives it's name, Candlemas
Day, from the fact that the
candles used in the solemn serv-
ices of the Church and by the
faithful are blessed on that occa-
sion. In many places it is GUS
tomary for the faithful to make
an offering Of candles for use in
the church during the year and to
take a blessed candle home with
them to be lighted whenever the
promptings of faith suggest the
ACCESSIBILITY of doing so. 1t is un-
necessary to state that blessed
candles cannot be bought or sold.

ANOTHER CITY HEARD FROM

The city of Fargo, N. D., must
be added to the list Of places
which it would be advisable for
anti-Catholic lecturers to avoid in
future. It's citizens are not easily
hoodwinked by this brand of pro-
fessional "patriots. -
AS soon as the reputable citi-
zens of Fargo learned that efforts
were being made by outsiders to
secure a hall for a series of lee
lures by ex-priest Crowley they
bestirred themselves to such good
purpose that the Crowleyites
found it impossible to secure a
meeting-place and they announced
that their leader could not come
because of the illness of his wife.
The leaders in this movement
to keep Crowley out of Fargo
were the Knights of Columbus
who appointed a committee to
wait on the managers of the diff
ferent halls in the city and the
representatives of the Protestant
churches, all Of whom gave assur-
ance that CroWley's press agents
would find the doors closed when
they called. Lest an opening
should be afforded them in Moor
head the Knights Of Columbus of
that city were communicated with
and they were equally successful
in closing the public halls and
Protestant churches to Crowley
and his supporters. The whole af-
fair was managed so quietly that
not single word appeared in the
local papers.
The temper Of the non-Catho-
lies of Fargo was shown by the
statement made by a Mason who
attended a meeting of the COM
mittee charged with the renting
of the Masonic Temple Audi
forum. He said: "I have always
let this committee dispose of the
hall as they saw fit, but this time
I am going to have my say. l am
utterly opposed to giving this hall
to any man or number of men who
propose to bring in an outsider to
abuse and lie about the men who
have been my friends for over
thirty years, in this city and wher-
ever I have lived. IF the churches
of Fargo want to do that, let them
use their own buildings. I shall
never sanction the use Of this hall
for such a lecture This is the
proper spirit and Fargo is to be
congratulated on it's right-think
ing citizenship, both Catholic and
Protestant.
If the people of other localities
in which anti-Catholic lecturer:
are billed to appear would initiate
the action of the people of Fargo
and Of the other towns which
have turned down this brand Of
disturbers of the peace, it would
do more to kill sectarian bigotry
than any other means that can b,
employed.

APATHY OF MINNEAPOLIS

would think that they should be
interested enough in preserving
their good name to make some
sort of a protest against the base,

taken by this public official to
vilify their character as reputable
citizens Such apathy is incom-
prehensible.

The endowment fund of half a
million dollars lately presented by
the Supreme Council of the
Knights of Columbus to His Emil
hence Cardinal Gibbons for the
use of the Catholic University of
America, entities the Knights of
Columbus to fifty scholarships in
that institution. 1t has been de-
cided that the holders of these
scholarships will follow POSTCARD
uate courses at the University.
The national officers of the
Knights of Columbus have author
lied Cardinal Gibbons to desig-
nate the young men to whom
these scholarships will be awarded.
In the selection of them due con-
sideration will be given to the diff
ferent countries in which the
Order fiourishes, as well as to the
different States of the Union.
After the death of Cardinal Glib
bons the Supreme Council of the
Order and the University authori-
ties viii adopt some definite
method for the disposal of these
scholarships.
