James A. Garfield.

although he was restrained from d.
rectly supporting Blaine by the instruc-
tons of his state in favor of the nomi-
nation of John Sherman Conkling, a
handsome fop, carefully studied the
right moment to make his theatrical
entry upon the stage the first day,
drawing the applause as he advanced
down the aisle with his "grandiloquent
swell, his majestic supcrcmincnt, over
powcring, turkey Gobbier strut" which
Blaine had held up to the laughter Of
congress years before in never-to-be-
forgiven speech. The next day Gar
field took his revenge by entering while
Conkling was speaking, and the well
coming cheers drowned the voice of
the indignant speaker. On the third
day the two game to grips in de-
bate and the Ohioan scored on the New
Yorker
While the gallery still was cheer
Ing the victor in that round COnkling
wrote on the margin Of newspaper
and sent to Garfield a mocking sugees-
tion that he was playing to the gal
lery In his own interest: 81 congrat-
ulatc you on being dark horse!"
In truth Garfield could not Sise In
the convention without helping him
self more than he helped Sherman,
who never had chance to win. As
ballot after ballot was taken, it be-
came plain that neither the Immortal
BOG" who followed Grant nor the deaf
ening cheers which his name evoked
could overcome the prejudice against
a third term in the White House, and It
was made equally plain that this "Old
Guard" never would surrender to
Blaine.
A new candidate was necessary If
the convention was not to fall to
pieces In factions. One solitary vote
for Garfield on most OF the ballots had
continued to point the rger Of des-
tiny at him. Wisconsin ointed all her
fingers In his direcAon when her dele.
cation broke to him on the thirty
fourth ballot.
Garfield rose with paliid face and
dry lips to a point Of order. But Sen
ator HOar Of Massachusetts, who was
In the chair, raped him down. In two
more ballots he was nominated by
combination Of the Blaine and Sher-
man mon.

"Rent Free" Houses.

At Llewelyn, Pa, there are 60 empty
houses, which for years have stood un-
tenantcd a rcritable deserted village
in the beautiful valley of the West
Branch OF Chester creek Even the
war with its demands, failed to rcpco-
pie the town. About Il month ago some
OF the houses VERT rented and a iitncy
line was established between the town
and Chester. Still there remained GO
houses that We're fast going into decay
by reason OF not being occupied. The
owners conceived the idea OF having
the properties fixed up by giving them
rent free to workmcn who would repair
them and take care of them. The only
stipulationS made in selecting tenants
are that they be respectable and thrift
ty people who will take pride in main
tanning and improving the houses and
that they agree to make all repairs at
their own expense.

70 PRISON FOR WlTCRCRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That Will Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.

1t has been little more than 200
years since anyone was convicted OF
witchcraft on this continent says the
Columbus Dispatch, and we supposed
that there would never again be any
more convictions. But ii seems that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes n report from n Cana
dian court to the effect that young
woman over there has lately been sen
fenced to prison for "practicing witch
craft" for AL the world like the ac-
cuSntionS that used to he fled against
people in this country
The young woman in this case
claimed to be able to tell who commit
ted a certain theft in her crncighhorhood.
She said Il farmers oats had been
stolen by a man and a boy; that they
drove bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would be found at certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to he true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the information was in no po-
except through communing with "the
spirits" people began talking about
her being Il witch, with the result that
an ancient statute was invoked and
the girl prosecuted and sent to Jail
for her pains in aiding the officers Of
the law If it were not all duly record
ed In the newspapers we could not be-
lieve 1t.

IT ANiES ABRAM GARFIELD was the
ap latest and, it is fairly safe to say,
the last of the presidents born and
bred in log cabins. Notwithstanding
that humble state, he was one of the
half-dozcn scholarly men who have sat
in the presidential chair.
Garfield is the only president who
was present at his own nomination.
The presidential lightning struck him
as he sat in his seat in that most ex.
traordinary and exciting national con-
vention which met at Chicago in 1880.
All the "Stalwart" clans, believing with

HOLY WATER IN THE HOME.

1t is much to be regretted that the
salutary power and exceedingly great
efficacy of sacramentals, that is arti-
cIes which are blessed by the Church,
are often so little known and valued.
Among these is holy water. If all
Catholics realized the efficacy and
power holy water possesses for soul
and body, providing if it be used with
faith and devotion, every dwelling
would not be dry as is often the case,
but would be kept we'll supplied with
the blessed water, so beneficial for
ourselves, and for the poor souls in
Purgatory.
efficacy and power? From the pray
ers of the Church AS often as the
priest blesses water, he does SO not in
his own name, but in the name of the
Church, the spouse of Christ, whose
representative he is. Our Lord always
accepts the prayers of the Church with
complacency, and is ever ready to
grant the petition, providing the per-
son himself places no obstacle in the
way, and what is asked for is for his
spiritual welfare.
Therefore, if a Christian takes holy
water, and sprinkles drop of it on
himself, or on another person, the
prayers of the Church uttered by the
priest in the blessing of the water,
ascend to heaven each time and draw
down graces and blessings for soul
and body, upon all that are sprinkled
with the blessed water. 1t dispels the
power of the evil spirits, and for this
reason Christians commonly use the
saying: He hates this or that as the
devil does holy water" Thousands of
instances could be enumerated show
ing the terrible fear the evil one has
of holy water.

STORY OF THE WORD, ROOD.

A word which often meets the eye
in reading of old Catholic times is the
word rood" 1t is word which in
troduces the student to variety of
interesting customs and works of
Christian art, says the Pilot.
The Anglo-Saxon word rod" or
rode" meant "cross." The word
rood" was often employed to signify
the True Cross itself. This, with the
prefix "holy," occurs as the dedication
of some churches. One of the best
known examples, perhaps, is Holy
rood Abbey in Scotland.
But the usual significance of the
term is one which refers to a striking
architectural or artistic feature of
some medieval churches. The word
generally referred to large crucifix,
with statues of the Blessed Virgin
Mary and st. John, which was usually
placed over the entrance to the
"choir" part in medieval churches.
The Choir" as an architectural part
of the church in those days, was then
in front of the sanctuary.
The sight of a great rood easily at
tracted the attention of person en-
tering one Of these churches. what
ever other wealth of art or architec-
ture might challenge the eye in that
or other parts of the interior.
The rood was sometimes placed on
gallery or screen and sometimes on
. beam which spanned the chancel

THE cHURcH'S ADVANCE GREAT
IN CENTURY.

The recent statistics published by
Strandelli, show clearly the great
progress made by the Catholic Church,
during the last century. The follow
ing notes are taken from them:
In England, at the end of the Eigh-
teenth Century there were only 12O,-
900 Catholics, 6 Apostolic Vicariates
and 200 priests. In the year 1907
there were 100000 Catholics, 21
Bishops and 4,166 Priests. From the
year 1899 to 1907 amongst the con-
verts were 445 preachers, AT from
the legislative body, 205 officers and
so Doctors. For some time back Eng
land counts an average of 10000 con-
versions per year.
Germany, in 1900, counted only g.
100000 Catholics. In 1901 the Cath
\olic population in Germany was as
large as 20,000,000.
In Russia the number of conver-
sions is very great. During the four
years 19O5-19O9), after the publica-
ton of the law of toleration, the num-
Der of Catholics reached to 100000.
During the Nineteenth Century the
Catholic population in the Balkan
countries grew considerably. From
$4,000 to 100000 Catholics in Rouma-
MIA. In Bosnia the increase was from
$4,000 to $4,000. In Bulgaria from
/ 300 to $4,000; in Servia from 5000
to 10000 and in Greece from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Out of all proportion is the progress
made by the Catholic Church in the
United States. A century ago there
was only one Bishop in the Great Re-
public, so Priests and 10000 Catho-
lies. At the present time, there are
2 Cardinals, 13 Archbishops, SS Bish-
OPS, about 10000 Priests and more than
23,OOO,OOO Catholics. The conversions
in this Great Republic are very nu-
merous, varying from 10000 to $4,000
per year. Like in England, in the
United States, there are very promi-
nent men among the converts. Bish-
ops, Preachers and other clergymen
of the different rites and sects, are
very often converted to the Catholic
faith.
In Australia there were no Catho-
lies century ago. The missionaries
were not allowed to enter freely until
1920. Today the Hierarchy in that
country is composed of 1 Cardinal, 2
Archbishops, IA Bishops, and 100000
Catholics.
In the mission countries, the prog
ress of Catholicism is increasing ev-
cry day. In the year 1900 Africa had
only few Catholics, at present there
are over million. Asia numbers
about 100000; in the Chinese Repub-
lie there are more than one million.
Even in the countries subjected to
Turkey the progress has been very
considerable in the last century.
Smyrna from 800 to 10000, in Meso-
potamia from 10000 to $4,000 and in
Palestine from 5000 to 10000.
