Men may come and men may go, but few better men either come or go than Father P. II. Tunel of Skagway, who has been here this week attending the series of lectures at the Catholic church. It was our privilege and pleasure to meet Father Tmncll nearly nineteen years ago and when he first located in Skagway and at that time friendship was formed, tie created, that has only been strengthened as time has elapsed As am massuming Christian man who goes about doing good, he is our idea of personified Christianity. Father Tmnell is a Catholic, we are not; but if the rest of the world was in his class, we would put in with his faith and make it unanimous. Long may Ec wave.

John Fmlayson, who died last week at Wrangel, was the oldest person in Alaska if not in the United States. He was born in the north of Scotland and distinctly re- membered the battle of Waterloo which took place one hundred and two years ago. While the old man did not know his exact age, he thought he was about one hundred and ten. He came to Alaska and settled at Wrangen forty-two years ago, which was the year 1875. A man who knew Finlayson in the Caribou country Canada, in 1858 says he was am old man then. He had full use of all his faculties until the last and was a most interesting conversationalist. He was am inveterate smoker practically all of his long life Asked by lady tourist last summer if he was a married man he replied Not yet"

The upholdmg of the decisions of Judge Jennings of the United States District Court of Alaska and of the United States Circuit Court by the Supreme Court at Washington in the cases pertaining to li- ccusc tax to be paid by fishing and mining industries is a signal triumph for the laws of Alaska provided for the levying and col lection of such tax. It means almost a mil lion dollars annually to the Territory and it also gives status too the acts of the Alaska legislature, passed and to be passed. This was one of the biggest cases ever heard in am Alaskan court and the fact that the de- cision of the trial judge has been upheld by the highest courts of the land is a glowing tribute to his ability as a jurist.

In one ease the body of ,nr man was found frozen stiff and near it Were his five dogs, all so badly frozen that they were killed by the rescuing party.

A HORSE FOR FATHER MALONE.
Story of an Optimistic Irish Soldier
at Lens.

In the course of special dispatch
to the GLOBE" Philip Gibbs writes:
"Some queer things happened in
Angres. l have already told the story
of soldier who had breakfast in a
dugout where lay the body of dead
German officer. There was another
soldier of ours. an 1rfshnran, who ate
breakfast in Angres, but he was in
jovial company. He came across a
German at the entrance and fought
with him, but in friendly way. After
knocking each other about they came
to an understanding and srt down to-
gether in the dugout to the meal Of
German sausage, cheese, black bread
and French wine. They found q great
deal of human nature in common and
were seen coming out later arm-in-
arm, and in this way the 1rishman
brought back his prisoner.
An Irish colonel told today another
queer tale of an Irishman in the out
skirts of Lens. The colonel saw him
after the battle of Bois- en-Hache,
which was terrible affair and great
feat of arms in the mud and snow,
bringing back German horse under
machine.gun fire and shrapnel. He
was guiding the poor, lean beast over
frightful ground, round ridge of
monstrous shell-craters, through brok-
en- strands of barbed wire and across
trenches and parapets. What are you
doing with that poor brute?" asked the
commanding officer "Sure, SIR" said
the Irishman, I'm bringing the horse
back for Father Malone to ride" The
horse was in the last stakes of starva-
ton, and the Father weighed nineteen
stone, according to popular estimate
of the men who adore him, and that
is part Of the story's humOr, though
the Irish soldier was very serious. 1t
is tribute, anyhow, to the affection
of the men for this Irish padre, q
laughing giant of a man who is always
out in No Mans Land when there are
any Of his lads out there, going as far
as the German barbed wire to give the
last rites to dying men. Today when
l called on the battalion he was away
burying poor boys who lie in the mud
of the battlefield"

THE TRAGEDY OF MEXICO.
Notable Comment Of New York Daily
"MaiI."

Archbishop Ireland is an outstand
ing figure in the Catholic church in
America. But he is not only that
He is an outstanding figure among the
builders of America. His lifelong
friendships with such men as the late
James J. Hill have given him thor
ough understanding of America. When
he speaks he speaks as an American.
In the current number of the Exten
sion Magazine, Msgr. Ireland has writ
ten a remarkable Introduction to a
series Of articles describing the trag
edy of Mexico from the Catholic point
of view. These articles disclose a
state of ruin in the religious life OF
Mexico. They show affairs dishonored
the sacraments abolished, priests and
nuns slain, tortured, prosecuted and ex
PEELED by the forces of the revolution
which now lay claim to be the forces
Of reconstruction. They show the out
having of religion in Mexico.
This is how Archbishop Ireland de-
scribes the situation:
"The Catholic church is to be ban
ished, root and branch, from the pre-
cincts of the republic unless it repudi
ates all claims to rights which it be
lieves necessary to its Catholic life
and the most sacred requirements Of
its ministerial functions. All its prop
critics are to be confiscated, to become
the exclusive belongings Of the state
Temples, sanctuaries, school houses
colleges and universities are snatchei
from its ownership. Sacra
mental confession is abolished. No in
situations of beneficence and education
are allowed under control Of the
church"
The full gravity of this disclosure
can be realized only when it is remem
bered that Mexico, like all of Latir
America, owes the very foundations O
its civilization to the Catholic church
that the Catholic church has been tn.
schoolmaster, the spiritual upbuildel
and the main force for the mainte
nance of public order and private nor
ais in Mexico. It must also be un
derstood that all Of civilization tina
the great bulk of the population o
Mexico knows Of has proceeded from
and is bound up with the Catholi'
church."

Through five solid miles of cheering
American citizens, flag waving, shrek.

and the spirit of an international
friendship 139 years old, rode Joseph

of the flags of the sister republics OF
the old and the new world from end to
