FALSE STATEMENTS.

False statements are constantly
being made against the Church. Sci
dom are they retracted, even when at
tention has been called to the SANDER.
GUS nature of the charges. The case
of Harold Begbie, author of "The Lady
Next Door" is splendid exception to
this rule. In the London Daily Chron-
icle he writes:
Il am taken to task by the Glasgow
Observer for recording the statement
made by Roman Catholic woman of
the Glasgow slums that the priest
don't trouble about quarters the like
of this | am taken to task so polite
1y, and such mass of evidence is adj
duced to prove the devotion of the
Roman priest of Glasgow, that heart
lily desire to express not only nay re
greet for having printed the statement
in question, but my earnest and rever.
ent admiration for the quiet
constant, perfectly organized and affec.
tionate services rendered by the Rom,
an priest in Glasgow to the wretched-
est and most helpless of the Glasgow
poor. Whether this particular woman
had been overlooked by the parish
priest or whether she lied to create a
silver sympathy, | cannot say. !. !.
1t never occurred to me for one mo-
ment that | was attacking the Roman
Catholic Church (who could attack
that Church on the side of it's serv-
ices?) and l am grieved to say that it
never occurred to me, as it ought 10
have, done, that such statement
might give pain to people whose work
for the poor l am not worthy even to
praise. l shall be grateful if you will
allow me to make public this explana-
ton and this sincere apology"
Surely these words have been set
down in letters of gold by the record
ing angels. The author had merely
intended to illustrate the character
of the poor creature whose words he
quoted, yet he has done far more than
give satisfaction for a pure inadver-
tency. incidentally it may be remark
ed here that it will always be we'll for
Catholics toshelp correct by their let
tiers any false charges that are brought
against the Church Though seem,
ingly overlooked, perhaps, such rep
reservations may nevertheless pro.
duce their effect If Catholics in gen.
eral would follow this rule the effect
would be instant and signal

IF WE TRY.

We can learn useful lesson
From a single drop of dew,
For it sparkles to remind us
How to make our whole life true
We should never waste our moments
They are quickly passing by;
To improve them is a duty
We can do it, if we try.
Let us drop a gentle warning
BY the wayside as we go,
And, perhaps, the germ of kindness
In a careless heart we grow;
Let our seed be sown at morning,
For the night is drawing nigh;
There's. u harvest for the faithful.
We may share it, if we try.
As the bee is never idle,
And the brook is never still;
In the pleasant field of labor
There's a place we all may fill.
Then be ready for the Master;
He is coming, by-and-by;
There are starry crowns in glory,
We may wear them, if we try.

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

A correspondent of the Irish Eccle-
SiaStical Record asks question or
two that may be Of interest to some
of our readers. A periodical which
the correspondent never ordered was
sent to him, with the request that he
should either return it or forward the
price to a given address; and he
wants to know whether he is in con-
science bound to do either Then,
he has received a picture which he
is asked either to pay for or to re-
turn to the sender. Again, is he
bound to do either? The Records
answer, so far as justice is concerned,
Is as follows:
In neither case has the sender a
right to impose a positive obligation
of justice on the recipient, nor is the
recipient bound to submit to it. The
latter is an independent being and is
not bound in justice to make himself
tract between him and the sender:
he has done the sender no injury;
he is not in unjust possession of the
others property; and there is no posi-
tive law binding him in justice to
return objects sent in the manner
described. All the sources from which
Il positive obligation can arise are
wanting; and, consequently, so far
as justice goes, he is guilty Of no sin
If he retains property thrust on him
against his wishes, or, at all events,
without his having expressed any
wish whatever on the subject
So far as this country is concerned,
a periodical unordered and undesired
may be refused acceptance, and the
postmaster notifies the publishers of
that fact. AS for books, pictures, or
other articles of merchandise which
come to person unsolicited, the most
the senders deserve is a postal card
informing them that the articles will
be returned when funds to cover
transportation charges are forwarded,
or an invitation to call for their IN
desired goods. Tho Arc Maria

PILES DIDN'T WRECK EAsTLAND

Grand Rapids. Mich-The Govern
crnment has virtually eliminated piling
as contributory cause of the Eastland
disaster, which is one Of the defenses of
the owners of the Chicago excursion
steamboat, which capsizcd last summer.
The Government surprised the defense
when divers employed by it testified that
they examined the bottom of the river
before divers employed by the company.
These Government witnesses said that
the longer Of the two piles in question
was only tric over two feet out from
the dock, and therefore, could not have
been a factor; while the other pile had
more than one foot Of water between it
and the bottom Of the boat A naval
designer for the Chicago Bureau of
Rivers and lIarbors testified that the
Ilastland was Of faulty construction and
unscaworthy AS an excursion boat This
evidence is in line with that of the boat 5

was originally intended for carrying

SOLICITOR NOTIFIED
The Suit vii! BE Brought TO Enjoin
Action by Transit Commission.

Another obstacle developed in the path
of rapid transit few days ago when
+. 5. RawSon. an attorney in the office
of Nittrcdgc x Wilby, announced in a
letter to City Solicitor Groom that he
intended To chjoin the commission from
proceeding with the arrangements for
the Improvement.
RawSon's contention is that the leaS-
ing of the canal by the State was special
legislation and therefore unconstitu-
tional. He says that AN attempt is to
be made to pledge the credit of the city
without reference to its debt.
Some time ago Rawson asked the City
Solicitor to bring the suit, but Groom
refused, and he said yesterday, in his
opinion, the law is perfectly sound and
that he does not believe the contention
of RawsOn correct.
Chief Engineer krug, while not giving
an opinion as to the law, said he be-
leved the suit would not prevent the
Rapid Transit Commission from getting
an expression from the people on the
subject

PRESIDENT GOMPERS IN

pcrs ON his arrival in this city to address
the annual convention OF the State Fed
Grafton OF Labor:
Hale and hearty, scarcely showing
his sixty-six years Of age, President
Gompcrs stands prc-cmncnt as one Of
the most vital figures in prcscnt-day life
in this country As head OF the labor
party he is, perhaps, next to President
Wilson, the most powerful man in the
United States. As he stepped from the
Seaboard train, the dead butt Of cigar
between his teeth, President Gompers
gave the impression by his agility, of a
man twenty years his junior. Vital and
energetic, he is a compelling figure He
speaks dccisively in short, choppy words,
his sentences always being to the point.
