Ordered to Protect shrines in Holy
Land.-Through Church sources it has
been learned from London that the
British Government has given strict
orders to General Sir Archibald Muir
ray, in command of the armies now
lighting in Palestine, on no account to
lnJure any OF the Holy Places, or in
any way interfere with any of the
Shrines. In the case of Jerusalem,
which may be captured if the Allies
plans succeed, Sir Archibald has been
enjoined to take particular care
against injury of all kinds. The Chris
tian shrines in the Holy Land are in
charge OF Franciscan friars.
Spanish Basilca of st. Teresa.-By
the will OF a noble Spanish lady re-
Gently deceased, the Warehouses de
la Coqullla, an impetus is given to the
great work of the Votive Basilica of
Santa Teresa which is being erected
at Alba de Tonnes, close to Salaman-
ca, Spain. She has left the residue of
her fortune to this national work, the
committee for which is headed by the
royal family. The sale of the Coquilla
palace, at Madrid, has realized some
$37, $500, and this will aid the erection
OF the Votive church, into which ulti-
mately the body of Santa Teresa will
be transferred. Already several mil
lion pesetas have been spent on the
shell OF the church, and the "roof is
not yet upon it. At present the incor.
rupt body of the saint reposes in the
old church in which she once wor.
shipped.
Irish Education's Just CIaims.-At a
meeting OF the Standing Committee
of the Irish Bishops the following i'm.
portant resolution was passed:
We request the Irish members OF
Parliament to insist on the just
claims of Ireland to a grant which
shall be equivalent, in proportion to
the population, to any grant which
may be made for educational pur
poses in England, and to see that
the full amount of the Irish grant
be allocated to educational pur
poses.
1t is announced that the Irish Parlia
mentary Party have decided to press
vigorously on the Government the ne
cessity for recognizing the equity Of
the claim so well presented by the
| bishops.

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER

The woman was old, and ragged and
gray,
And bent with the chill of a winters
day.,
The streets were white with a recent
snow,
And the woman's feet with age were
slow.
At the crowded crossing she waited
long,
Jostled aside by the careless throng
Of human beings who passed her by,
Unheeding the glance of her anxious
eye.
Down the street with laughter and
shout,
Glad in the freedom of school let
out"
Came happy boys, like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman, SO old and gray,
Fastened the children on their way.
None offered a helping hand to her,
So weak and timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses
feet
Should trample her down in the slip.
perry street.
At last came out of the merry troop
The gayest boy of all the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered
low,
"Ill help you across, if you wish to
60"
Her aged hand on his strong young
She placed, and so, without hurt or
harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were young and
strong.
Then back again to his friends he
went,
His young heart happy and well con.
tent.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, you
know,
Although she's aged, and poor, and
slow:
And someone, sometir :, may lend
hand
To help my mother-you understand?
If ever she's poor, and old, and gray,
And her own dear boy so far away"
Somebody's mother" bowed her head
In her home that night, and the pray
er she said
Was: God be kind to that noble boy,
Who is somebody's son, and pride, and
joy
Faint was the voice, and worn and
weak,
But Heaven lists when it's chosen
speak;
Angels caught the faltering word,
And somebody's mothers" prayer
was heard.

Confederate Memorial Day.

Sunday, June 8, will be Confeder-
ate memorial day, sacred to the
memory of the departed warriors OF
the Confederate armies. Carp Major
Victor Maurin No. 38, U. c. ", will
as usual observe the day with me-
mortal exercises and decoration of the
camp tomb in the Catholic cemetery.
Immediately after high mass members
of the camp, Sons and Daughters
of the Confederacy and relatives and
friends of deceased veterans will pro-
coed, to the cemetery, where the ex-
ercises will be held if the weather is
propitious. In case of rain the ex-
ercises will take place at the court
house The public is invited to at
tend and flowers for decorating the
tomb are solicited. It is well that in
this crisis of the great war in Europe
the veterans of the Confederate ar
mics who offered their lives for their
country should honor their departed
comrades and thus remind the soldiers
who will participate in the world war
that their valorous deeds will likewise
be remembered by coming genera
tions.

New Deputy Clerk of Court.

Through an oversight the Chief
has omitted to mention the recent
resignation of j. F. Fernandez as
chief deputy clerk of court, after be-
ing connected with that office for the
past twenty years. Since his retire,
ment he has taken up the work OF
abstractor and notary public. In Mr..
Fernandez the parish loses a most
valuable and competent officer, who,
by virtue of his long incumbency,
had become thoroughly familiar with
the archives and records of the clerk s
office, and as result was most valu-
able aid to all those having business
with the office. The retirement Of
Mr.. Fernandez is very much regretted.
He has been succeeded as deputy
clerk by A. r. Babin, a son of Lu-
cas- Babin, of Dutchtown. The new
deputy is young man of intelligent
and pleasing personality. He has
taken up the study Of law, and while
performing the duties connected with
his office, will devote his spare mo-
ments to the studies necessary to
qualify in his chosen profession. The
Chief compliments Mr.. Babin upon
his appointment to the important
position
