WELCOME AWAITS LES DARCY
Australian Pug Should Prove Very

NEW YORK, Jan. l5.-Les Darcy Is a

tanned, but there is every Indication
above par when he arrives in this coun-
try,
Judging by the amount Of enthusiasm
wasted on such lemons as Bil Squircs,
Dave Smith and others Of that type,
there Is no limit 20 the popularity real
fighter may attain in this country.
America has always been good to VISIT
ing boxers and Darcy Is sure to be idol-
ICED when he makes his appearance here.
Darcy is lucky TO arrive at time
when all the stars Of his division have
passed the turning points OF their ring
careers. without wishing TO detract from
Darcys performances, it fust be admit
ted that his most noted victims have all
seen their best days
McGoorty began TO stop at least two
years ago When Jimmy Clabhy was last
seen here he performed like a worn-out
old war horse, and he was thrown out of
the ring by the referee and suspended
by the boxing commission for not try
ing. Billy Murray, never better than a.
second-rater at any tiple, suffers from
weak eyes. The trouble has become so
bad that he has beonl forced to retire from
the ring.

Then there is Al Mccoy, who Ia recog-

ssTEe ain Degree Oath OF the
knights of Columbus"

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods Of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of a foreign power, I have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our Government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
This question of Popery is the most impor-
tant question now facing the people of
America.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents.

Pulaski did not command the American and
French forces at Savannah.
The French were under the personal COM
mand of Count D'Estaing, Viscount Noailles
and M. de Steding: the Americans were COM
manded by Generals Lincoln, Mcintosh and
Huger.
Count Pulaski led some 200 cavalry and
rashly wrecked them upon the British bat
teries, losing his own life in the disaster.
AS to Kosciusko could never discover
that he was worth pinch of snuff, either to
America or to Poland
He was a fribble and poseur; and you
may go and read his viii at Charlottesville,
Virginia, and see where he left all his prop
erty In trust to his friend Thomas Jefferson,
to be used in emancipating negro slaves.
Mr.. Jefferson never could find a dollars
worth of said property
Steuben and DeKalb were fairly good drill
sergeants, but were never entrusted with an
important command If they were Catholics,
they didn't seem to know it.
''In fact, the whole Catholic world was
with us"
All yes we well remember how glorlously
Spain, Austria and papal Italy helped us;
our aid, when Washington sent Charles Car
roll of CarroIlton to ask for 1t.
We likewise remember the conway Cabal'
against General George Washington,
Catholic intrigue which came near running our
cause.
"The Catholic Church teaches, "All men are
equal"
When and where has the Catholic Church
taught such democratic doctrine!
If that is her creed why her laws in favor
of monarchy; in opposition to popular self
government, in opposition to free speech and
free press; in opposition to individual free
dom Of conscience; in deadly antagonlsm to
every mans right to worship God according
to his own beliefs?
If the Catholic Church has always taught
that all men are equal why did she own SO
many slaves during the Dark Ages, encourage
the slave system, sad introduce it into South
America, Mexico. Arizona, and California!
IF the Catholic Church has always taught
that all men are equal, why did she act as
feudal lord oyer so many yassals, and why
did she exercise, in the person Of her priests,
the jus p1Sna0 nOctis, the right of the feudal
lord to sleep with the peasants bride the first
night after the marriage?
This diabolical Italian Church was exer-
cisng that unspeakably debasing right in the
Philippine Islands as late as 1898, when the
natives arose against the priests.
The natives helped us conquer the Span
iards. and then we turned against the natives
and conquered them for the priests.

II gave you Catholic Lafayette, who fitted
out ships at his own expense and aided to
save the country"
The young, enthusiastic Frenchman bought
one small ship and freighted it with NUM-
tions which were no doubt most welcome and
he was Just about as much of Catholic as
Danton, Talleyrand, Mirabeau, Robespierre,
Condorcet, or any other leader In the French
Revolution.
La Fayette hated the Roman priesthood,
just as Napoleon did, and just as Bismarck
did and La Fayette prophesied that if ever
we lost our liberties, the Roman priesthood
would be the cause of it.
II gave you Catholic Jack Barry, to com
mand the navy and who did so much to throw
off the yoke of tyranny
Jack Barry! Commander of the American
Navy
Bless my eyes, Well hear next that Arch,
bishop Carroll commanded the American
army.
John Barry was brave old salt who com
manded frlgate of 80 guns, and she ran
ashore and broke her ribs. Her name was
the Raleigh.
John Barry never was In command Of any
navy, excepting an imaginary fleet which
romanclng Romanists have con ured up, of
late years.
John Barry was captain of the vessel which
took John Laurens to France when Congress
had grown impatient Of the delays of Benja-
min Franklin.
On his return voyage Barry fell in with
two little British tubs, and his frigate cap
tured them. That was all that Barry ever
did ito throw off the yoke of tyranny"
AS every school-boy ought to know, the
Presbyterian, John Paul Jones, was the Father
of the American Navy, and the only sea-
fighter who did any effective work in the
Revolutionary War.
In the whole history of naval exploits, there
is nothing which rivals the victorious career
of Paul Jones flagship, The Bonhomnae
Richard.
The Roman Catholics forced Congress to
erect in Washington a magnificent monument
to the obscure and negligible Barry; but the
last heard of the supposed remains of the
glorious John Paul, they we're lying neglected
in the cellar of the naval academy at An
napolis.
II gave you Count Rochambeau."
Did you? Even a tyro in history should
know that France helped the United States
as a stragetic move against England; and
that the Catholic Church had no more to do
with it than it had to do with the aid which
Catholic Spain gave to Protestant England
in the wars against Catholic France.

country in Kosciusko, Pulaski, and Cashier .

Mike Gibbons is the champion in

the Queensbury flea, and no one

He stacks up against a second rater

he follows this up by trimming good

parently has hard battle on his
hands he canters in a winner under

This may be nothing more than the
fortunes of Queensbury warfare, but
it is a fact that those who IVsk their
money on boxing bouts regard CHI
bons as too uncertain a proposition
to wager much long green on.
Quite naturally Gibbons has a varied
assortment OF excuses for his short
