ary Order in London.

Ii anyone thinks that cannibalism
is a myth and created in the brain of
fiction writers, the word of Rev.
Father Joseph Coyle, Josephite mis-
sionary priest from Upper UGANDA,
Africa, probably will change his be-
lief.
One tribe eats its dead. The pal
ace of the king is built of the skulls
of his tribesmen and the fence sur
rounding the palace is of the arm
and leg bones. One of the Josephite
priests died while working with the
tribe. His body was eaten.
The people to whom Father Coyle
ministers are not cannibals and dis
claim having ever been such. Many
of their religious and tribal customs
indicate these people have strain
of white blood in their veins, the
priest declares, possibly from the
time of Alexander in Egypt.
Their conversion to Catholicism
was simple matter, as they already
had a vague belief in a savior who
died for their salvation and the i'm
mortality of the soul, he says.
Father Coyle is one of 800 Joseph
lite priests pledged to life among the
savages. The order belongs to the
Upper Vicarate of the Nile, the head
of the order living in London.

trusses weighing two tons each. The
floor joists rest on steel l beams.
The joists are tied together with
iron anchored to the brick walls and
the same with the ceiling rafters, CIV
ing the maximum of stability and
strength.
The pilasters, tower, both front and
rear walls, arches over the entrance
and tons of chimneys are capped with
blue Bedford stone, making a most
handsome finish, combining admira-
bly, with the brick.
The floor is of maple and the wood
work of red oak done i'll the English

hot air furnaces of 10000 cubic feet
capacity, each of which is almost
double the amount required for the

either church or basement or both
can be heated as needed.

ANALYSIS OF SOCIALISM.

ANALYSIS OF SOCIALISM.
OF all the philosophers rampant in
the world to-day Socialism is the
most pernicious.
Many have little or no conception
of what Socialism really is, some
look upon it as a movement or an
endeavor to promote the interest of
the working class: others as new
way of treating with the present &C.
onomic and political system. 1t is
therefore we'll at the juncture to de-
fine Socialism as we find it in the
writings Of its founders. Marx, Bah
ell, etc.. and as their successors pro-
mulgate it in various countries thru
their different periodicals..
Socialism is a philosophy, it is a
philosophy that would transform the
whole of society, 1t would abolish
the home, the family, religion and
all private capital.
We will consider it under the diff
ferent heads.
Private Capital.
Socialists claim there should be a
more equal distribution of wealth,
and this is impossible under the
present capitalist system, therefore
abolish it, and in its place substitute
the HSfafoO unu, vnonx, x,,nrI,{nr.

would mean. Under the Socialist
State" we would be reduced to q

MASSACRE AT DROGHEDA.

Ormond had garrisoned Drogheda
with about 5000 of his choicest
troops. under the command of Sir
Arthur Aston, an Englishman, but a
Catholic, and a soldier of experience
and reputation; and portion Of the
garrison also consisted Of English
royalists or cavaliers. Ormond him

Trim, and rejoiced that at so late a
season Cromwell was about to be-
siege a place of so much strength,
and before which he was likely to
be so long detained, as Drogheda.

Prof. Barnard of the School Of Pedagogy,
Philadelphia, in his paper read before

Political Science Association at the Shore

THE fact that college is so often
regarded merely as a place to make con-
genial friends and obtain a certain de-
gree is a misfortune for the young man
of small means. and double misfortune
for the wealthy youth" said Prof. Bar

should best begin in the elementary and
secondary schools, with details from his
own experiences along this line.

larry, at 1 o'clock this morning, after
eleven hours elaboration.
Lee De Forest, an inventor, and Sam
uel Darby were acquitted on three
counts, the jury disagreeing on the
fourth, charging conspiracy to defraud.
The suit against the radio company was
brought in federal court after complaints
were made by purchasers of the wireless
telephone stock. which, according to the
government. met with big sales about
the time the United States battleship
fleet went around the world in 1905 The
company asserted in circulars, accord
ing to evidence in the trial, that the fleet
was equipped with the invention. Naval
officers of the feet testified for the gov
eminent that the wireless telephone was
not a success during the world voyage.
Evidence showed also that the company
had published that British naval vessels
used the wireless telephone.

Shaded Map Survey.

Chamber OF Commerce Of the United
States Tine map shows the greater por-
ton Of the nation to be In fair business
condition; small part is shown to be
in good condition. and several areas are
shown to be poor.
The chambers conclusions are based
upon statistics gathered by its committee
on statistics and standards through sew
eral hundred correspondents, and they
deal with the situation as OF November
-, 1913.
Manufacturing industries are said to be
going through rapid readjustment to

predicts that the meat shortage problem

depression in the building trades is cred
tied to the lack of activity in small
towns.
