France. Dec. 1s.--An American ar
tfllery battery commander. who had
been ordered to transfer his com
mand by rail, loaded the meu and
equipment aboard a train on sohedul-
ed time only to discover that there
was no engine available. Presently
a sraall freight train s~fived.
Despite the protest OF the crew and
the station officials, the commander
compelled the engineer TO uncouple
the locomotive and attach it to his
train. The engine, however. prov
ed too weak to haul the artillery,
and the commander allowed the en-
gineer to return the locomotive to
his own train and depart.
Ten minutes later passenger train

JUSTICE JOHN INTERPRETS
TILE PROHIBITION LAW

Justice John yesterday had several
phases of the liquor question before
him, and lost little time in establish
ing. in one phase. that the fact of
drinking In a public place must in
fact be a fact In other words, man
who starts to take drink in pub
tic place, and gets his head back about
forty-five degrees. and then observes
an officer approaching and immedi-
ately resumes his natural position
without actually drinking the liquor,
is not considered amenda BILE to the
law. He changes his mind before he
accomplishes his original purpose. The
case In point was that of w. T. Sale,
who had been arrested, along with
several others, for drinking in a pub
II eclace- He proved that he did not
drink because he was arrested too
soon.
Sale and a friend. A D. Barlow,
were arrested In a lunch room con-
Quoted by A. II. Ball in Fifteenth
street. Herbert Robinson, a helper in
the lunch room. was also arrested as
an accessory. Ball, alleged to have
supplied the liquor, was sent on to
the Grand jury, as was Barlow, who.
IT was said. actually took a drink
Robinson. who merely supplied the
glasses, sugar and water, was put un-
der bonds n the sum OF 500 for
twelve months, and Sale was dis.
charged

A DANGER TO FAITH.

The tendency of the present age is
toward lawless liberalism in religion.
The all-important point, we are told,
is not what dognas a man holds, but
what deeds he does; not that he is a
Catholic, an Anglican, a Methodist, or
Baptist, but that he is a loyal citi-
zen, faithful husband, good father,
a just master, an honest man, upright
in his dealings with his fellows.
Moreover, it is assumed that his being
any or all of these is in no way de-
pendent on his religious beliefs. This
theory that the holding of any particu-
lar creed is a matter of quite minor
Importance has received the technical
name of indifferentism, and it is per-
haps best known from its pet phrase,
its catchy shibboleth, ''One religion is
as good as another
1t may at first glance seem a wholly
superfiuous task to warn Catholic per-
sons of the danger of their being af-
fected by such theory, yet in the
case of many the danger is unques-
tionably real. 1t is an undeniable
fact that we are all more or less i'm
pressed by the spirit of the age in
which we live. and that if the spirit
of our age be a false and pernicious
one, we need to be cautioned against
it's encroachments.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. ROBERT OF NEWMINsTER.

In 1882 Robert was a monk at Whit
by, when news arrived that thirteen
religious had been violently expelled
from the abbey of ST. Mary in York.
for having proposed to restore the
strict Benedictine rule. Heat once
set out to join them, and found them
on the banks of the Skeld near. Ripon,
living in the midst of winter in hut
made of hurdles and rooted with turf.
In the spring they affiliated themselves
to st. Bernard's reform ait Clairyaux,
and for two years struggled on in fex-
IRENE poverty. At length the fame of
their sanctity brought another novice,
Hugh, Dean OF York, who endowed the
community with all his wealth. and
thus laid the foundation of Fountains
Abbey In 1877, Raynulph, Baron of
Morpeth, was SO edited by the exam
pie of the monks at Fountains that he
built them a monastery in Northum-
berland, called Newminster, of which
st. Robert became abbot. The holi-
ness of his life, even more than his
words, guided his brethren to perfec-
ton, and within the next ten wears
three new communities went forth
from this one house to become cen
tres of holiness in other parts. At
the moment of Roberts death, in 1859,
ST. Cedric, the hermit of Finchale, saw
his soul, like globe of fire, borne up
by the angels in a pathway of light;
and as the gates of heaven opened
before them a voice repeated twice,
Enter now, my friends
The abstinence of st. Robert in re-
fectory alone sufficed to maintain the
mortified spirit of the community.
One yesterday his stomach, weakened
by the fast of Lent, could take no food,
and he at last consented to try to eat
some bread sWeetened with honey.
Before it was brought he felt this re-
Taxation would be dangerous exam
pie for his subjects, and sent the food
untouched to the poor at the gate.
The plate was received by a young
man of shining countenance, who
straightway disappeared. At the next
meal the plate descended empty, and
by itself, to the abbots place in the
refectory, proving that what the Saint
sacrificed for his brethren had been
accepted by Christ.

THE ORIGINAL "FATHER
O'FLYNN."

The original Of the famous song was
a Father Welsh, parish priest in
Kerry, who was on excellent terms
with Mr.. Graves, the Protestant Bish-
op of Limerick, the father of the poet,
(Alfred Perceval Graves). A recent
description Of the original appears in
"Omniana,' by J. F. Fuller:
Father Welsh celebrated early
Mass on alternate Sundays at Sheen
and Tahilla; he spoke Irish fuently-
which was necessary in a parish
where not a few peasants in those
days spoke no English; and at Petty
Sessions he frequently sat on the
bench to eXhort in the native tongue
litigants who sometimes were not
averse to giving a twist to their evi-
dence. Generally, too, he had master
ed both sides of the case before it
came to be tried. He was large
bodied as well as large-hearted man,
and the physical exercise which his
sporting pursuits involved was neces-
sary."
