Beyond the hurt and smart of wounded pride,
With no more hunger for sweet things denied,

1t is unfortunate for the lager beer
advocates that Just about the time when
they were about making a part of the
people believe that much oftheir happi-
ness in this world consisted in drinking
lager beer, that the Catholic Bishops
should step in and by their -cclesias-
tical bulls interfere with this little
arrangement. Last summer, it may be
remembered, just previous to the open
ing of the picnic season, orders were
issued by several Catholic bishops pro
hibiting the use OF liquor at any pic
mic or gathering which had any con-
nection with church purposes. Such
an order was issued by the Arch bishop
of Baltimore, and Immediately aroused
such protest from the German Catho-
lie population with reference to the
use of beer at such gatherings that it
is believed an exception was made in
favor of malt liquor.


Bishop McCloskey, of Louisville, has
started the ball :his season, and his
language upon the question of beer is
very plain. He says: "We again for
bid the use of all Intoxicating liquors
at these pic-nics, and lest there should
be any misunderstanding about it, we
now state for the benefit of all who may
have any doubt on the subject that
beer is included in the prohibition. p
1t is plain to be Seen that if this pro-
hibtion is enforced, there will be some
more lively music along the picnic
lines than that which emanates IRON
brass bands. As Bishop Becker of the
Diocese of Wilmington, has not yet in
terposed his authority in the matter,
against the use of lager upon such oc.
casions the faithful of his jurisdiction
will be left as free and untrammeled TO
carry out their own inclnations as the
members Of any other church, or even
as non church members.

loon rebounded, became unman-

the bay at a terrible speed. Every
few moments it would strike the
water, often submerging the car

struck about two and u half miles
from the shore, and this space was

from injury when the balloon
struck the water, and with the
other endeavoring to guide the
balloon. He tried to lift her over

fell suddenly and then rebounded.

which attach the car to the balloon
broke, the car turned partly over

that she had received scalp
wound, her lip was cut and one of
her teeth knocked out. Colgrove
was slightly injured on his head
