GEORGIA CONVENT INSPECTION

and said that he really was ashamed
to come on such an errand. With a
touch of true Southern chivalry the
grand jurors declined to accept the
nuns offer to have them go through
the convent, and, instead courteously
requested the privilege of meeting the
Sisters and pupils in the assembly
hall.
This was readily accorded and soon
the whole community and the acad-
emy pupils were assembled in the
large study hall and the grand Jurors
were assigned seats on the platform.
The children sang some of their songs
and to the gratified surprise of the
Sisters the leader of the grand Jurors
asked permission to say a few words.
He then referred to the unjust and un-
necessary law in no very compliment
tary terms and launched into an elo-
quent address in which he eulogized
the Sisters of Mercy, their heroic
deeds during the Civil War, their
noble lives and the grand educational
work for poor or rich in which they
are engaged.
The same grand jurors next paid a
visit of inspection to ST. Stanislaus
Novitiate of the Jesuits at Vinville,
suburb of the city. There they posi-
lively refused to go further than the
parlors and the reception room.
Father E. Mattern, the rector, as
| sembled the community and presented
the visitors, who again were deeply
| Inundated and made abject apologies
for the unpleasant duty imposed upon
them. Then they withdrew.
The leading Georgia papers now
say the law will be repealed.

BOYS WELFARE SOCIETY
IMPORTANT ATHOLIC WORK
LAUNCHED BY ARCHBISHOP
HANNA.

Archbishop Hanna, of San Fran
cisco, has formed and launched a
new organization to carry on social
service work of the greatest impor-
tance, work which will have a pro-
found effect for good now and in the
future. This organization is the
Boys Welfare Society of California
A strong and constantly increasing
group of the most prominent and eff
cient Catholic laymen of San Francis
co is cooperating with the Arch
bishop. Primarily Catholic in it's
idea, it's spirit, its plan, nevertheless
the new society is of nature to CO.
operate most heartily and effectively
with all existing organizations, civic,
State and private, which deal with the
great and ever-increasing problems
affecting the welfare of boys and
young men.
Many a youth is turned loose from
state and charitable institutions at the
| age of fourteen, and cannot work, eX.
cept at certain things and under Ger
tain conditions, until he is sixteen
Meanwhile he is left to shift for him
self, and many drift to the cities and
become failures, who might, if taken
in hand, prove valuable citizens. 1t is
this and similar work which the Arch
bishop desires taken up, and the re
! suit of the efforts of the society, dur
| ing the short time since its start
liustifies his belief in its future sue
cess, and the great possibilities be
fore it.

X. OF c. AT DAVENPORT

This government, which has continued
ever since, has grown constantly In
power and Importance. The govern
ment to which we all owe filial respect
and political allegiance finds its de-
scription and it's grant of authority in
the document promulgated by the con-
vention of 1887 under the name of the
Constitution of the United States of
America. Although many statesmen
of eminence co-operated in efforts to
have convention held and in the
formulation of the immortal document
to which it gave utterance, George
Washington may be appropriately
termed the chief architect of the Con-
| stitution. Employing to the utmost
and with untiring zeal the vast inf1u-
ence among his countryment which he
possessed by reason of his lofty char
acter, pure and unselfish motives, per-
sonal sacrifices and military glory, he
conducted a correspondence with the
governors of the several states and
with private individuals in all parts of
the country, urging reformation of
the governmental system. To this
fact, more than to any other condition,
is due the final harmonizing of local
and sectional jealousies, the adjust
Iment of disputes arising from personal
ambition, the banishment of unfound-
ed apprehensions, and the reinsurance
of the timid, which eventually led to
the assembling of the convention and
to the happy result of its labors.

MORALITY IN QUEBEC AND ONTARIO
ARE QUOTED TO
SHOW THAT CATHOLIC PROV
lNCE is MOST MORAL AND LAW
ABIDING IN CANADA.

A writer in the Canadian Freeman
of Kingston, Ont, quotes statistics at
length to disprove the slanderous al
legations against the Province of
quebec made especially by certain
ministers and Orange followers of On
tarlo. He uses the governments Of
ficial facts and figures to prove that
the Province of Quebec is the most
crlmeless of the large provinces of
Canada; has the greatest percentage
of its children attending school, and
that 62 per cent of the Inhabitants
are native born, showing that Que
Decs fine record is a native product.
The author of the special article
says:
Of late the slanderers have not
been quite so bold, some even ventur-
ing to say that the people of Quebec
were all right only for the hierarchy!
Poor, blind, ignorant bigots! The
hierarchy is a terrible eyesore to
them. Even child of tender years
would know that the brave, industri-
Gus, virtuous, courteous, sober, intel
ligent, Christian people of Canada's
largest province reflected the teach
ings of the priests of their beloved
Church.
1t is but simple truth to say that
Quebec is the model province of Can
ada. 1t is likewise simple truth to
say that 80 per cent of the people in
eastern Canada are native-born, thus
giving that Quebec's grand qualities
are a native product.

to have fewer criminals in proportion
to population than any large province:

ORA AFT INCREAiENTS ARE SHORT.
Air Service and Special Branches Call
for Many Men.

Washington, Sept. 26.-There is
little doubt now that a large def
cheney of men will be shown when
reports on the first increments Of the
National Army's $4,000 men have
been made. Seventeen National
Guard divisions must be brought up
to war strength and several special
service forces organized out OF this
reservoir, so the number of drafted
men remaining at the cantonments
hardly will be sufficient to organize
the 1 6 National Army divisions on q
full strength basis. Whether incom-
plete divisions will be formed or a
call for men issued has not been in
dicated.
Secretary Baker said to-day that
definite figures as to the number Of
National Army men it would be nee
essary to transfer to the National
Guard were not available.
Divisions Of 27,BOO Men.
The fighting strength of the new,
division is now fixed at 27,500 men.
The II guard divisions on that basis
will have total strength OF 437,500
men.
The guard probably brought into
the Federal service total Of not
more than 100000 men. 1t will take
therefore at least $4,000 National
Army men to fill up the guard divis-
ions. Another 100000 Of the Ma.
tional Army will go to the air service
and certainly as many more to other
special services. That would leave
not more than 10000 men to form
tho 16 National Army divisions,
which would tave an aggregate war
strength Of $4,000. With the ad-
option Of the Flu, opean legimentni
and company standard, .yery gard
regiment which was to be included in
division had to be expanded. Reg
iments and parts Of regiments are
being consolidated to furnish the 81
600-man regimental unit now de-
sired.

brought upon the department a new
source Of trouble. Numerous colo
nels and regimental STATS OF the

day Of the State Senate, sitting as a
court of impeachment, was ordered

Texas and barred from holding any

crnor with the Secretary OF State
Monday night. almost "a hours be-
fore the Senate took final action to
remove him from Office.
Announcement was made by the
former Governor that he will go be-
fore the people Of the State for vindi-
cation and restoration to Office.
In his letter of resignation. the
former Governor said, in part:
In order that | might have suni-
cient time and proper opportunity to
present the merits Of my candidacy
for the Office of Governor OF Texas
for third term, and IN order that
there may be no interference with
the right OF the people to elect me to
that Office, which belongs to the peo-
pie. hereby tender my resignation
as Governor OF Texas, same to take
effect Immediately.

have been reliably informed that the
Senate OF the State Of Texas Is at
tempting to pass some pretended and
Illegal order or Judgment for the
purpose Of preventing the people of
Texas from electing me Governor for
a. third term and to prevent my hold
ing Of said Office by virtue OF their
election"
Continuing, Mr.. Ferguson charged
that his Impeachment was brought
about by a combination Of politicians,
lobbyists anu others, and that he was
not tried by an impartial court.
~ was denied the right to question
the Senator'S as TO prejudiccs against
me or cven to object to my political
and personal enemies sitting in judg-
ment Of my case" Ferguson states in
his resignation. "In other words, the
Governor Of Texas did not have the
same chance Of securing all impartial

of tobacco, not a stroke of lightning,

two days. The body was found uf-

near West 116th street, after Sc

no trace of lightning having struck
the man, but he did find tobacco
lodged in the throat. He declared
