THE. RECENT CENTEN:NlAD OELEBRA­TION, is one oE which every American, every true patriot, and lrherty loving man, may justly feel­proud. Throughout :his fair land, the people with one accord, with one heart and one voice, asseml)]ecl to manifest their approlJation and proclairn their ap­proval of the commemoration of this auspicious event, This clearly showed their lQve of country, and their• appreciation of tho efforts and merits of Him ancl his coworkers, who purchased for them that priceless boon. Well hath the poet said that,

"'When a g reat mandies, "I<'or years l)eyoncl his ken, "The light he leaves behind, "Shine11 on the path of men. "

Never in the history of this nor in that of any other nation, has this sentiment been so fully verified, as on the 3oth nlt, when all, inespective of race or clasH, laid aside their labors and donned their holiday rittil·e ·and helped to swell the nmnher,

assemhlod to colc1rate and commemorate W ashing­ton's inaugur~tion , of one hundaed years ago.

* * * IN THEY VEHY CONCEYPION of t! ndJ a

desigu, on the part of tho people, there was some­thing gra1lC1 ; in the unique execution of it, ti1cre was SO llletliiug s1iblime. On the one hand i t an­J1onnced the intelligence of the people, anJ on the other, their patrioti sm. and heartfelt gratit ude, for the inestimable privileges and blessings which they posses. It is evident tltat, they hail ed with j oy the ad\'ent of tltat dRy, ou which they might withdraw from their chLily pursnits, to go back in thought and fancy to the clays of our infant republic; and hear· her history recounted, the heroic deeds of her Illustrious Father and devoted sons expounded and to r~wi ve their zeal and renew their lo\Te, for their conntry's freedom. But in so doing let us be mincl­fLLl that , witl1 pleasnre comes responBihilily. If we heap benediction on onr ancestors, we must stri \·e to follow their example and always endeavor to incll.lcate, and propagate tho:>c priceless principles, transmitted to us hy them <mel which have been and arc nmv, the delight and adm.iration of the nations of the earth. And when · another cent ury shall be n1mrtberecl with the past , let us trust that, America will continue to lead the van, in science, art, religion, honor, fame!

* * * BOYS, the season is rusl1ing in ; be on the lookA

ont: the cxaminn.tiou is coming like a shot ; be ready for the emergency.

* * * THEEE IS a great deal to lJc admired , in the

frankness fo£3. person 's manner, and so much depends on first impressions that, with conviction may it he said that, no labor should be spared to cultivate a candid , and comprehensive manner of expression and urbanity of manners.

ble habit of punning we will promise to see that his nshes are bottled. Confidentially-If he dont, our pugi­listic editor will prob::~bly have occl"asion to do the bot­tling act a little prematurely.

-Wednesday is a mascot fJ r Elo:; tltion this spring.

There was "rec" in the aftemoon and carriages were ordered and a drive was taken to Kankakee.

- Never was there a more creditable elocutionary contest than that for the gold prize of twenty five dol­lars offered hy Rev. John P. Dore for his ~pceial class , known better as the Delsartean Oircle. The young gen­tlemen acquitted themselves with great credit ll11d ouL of the nine contestants there is not one who is not in the vicinity of the prize. The three judges were Rev · John Finn of Chicago, Rev. Con Haney of Kankakee, and Prof. James Solon. After the declamatory portion of the programme had been dispatched Rev. President Marsile introduced Mr. Haney, : who entertained the. audience for a few moments. He was followed by Fa­ther Finn, who eomplimented the speakers and t-heir scholarly professor. This is the seconrl evening the Del­sarteans have entertained us this year and unstinted praise is their portion.

I l est a remarq uer que c.' est un droit qut passe de de pere en:ftls que celui de representer les pelerins et gure aux usurpate·urs!

After the ceremony at the church the (~ouple . ap~om.

panicd by their attendance retumed to the · residence of the bride's parents where they were greeted and congratulated by a number of fri~nds. Quite a pleasant time passed in mustc and songs befo.re the guests re­paired to the laden breakfast table.· Among the old acqnamtances whieh the groom had m:tde in college days, we noticerl thee Revels. A. Bergeron, A. _ Labrie F. N. Perrp, J·no. J . McCann, Daniel Pigham, Jno. Finn, :md Me~srs . Philip !Msage, Alex. Granger and Hervey, Legris. The Rev. A. D. Mainville C. S.

After the the bridal repast, speaking was indulged in and from all the gentle mentioned, words of congra­tulation and bappiue~s were passed to the married coupln. The bride's parents Mr. Toussaint Chalifonx and wife succeeded in making the occas'ion one of delight and worthy of the beautiful young daughter whom they had giveu away. The presents were numerous and costly.

The young couple have begun house-keeping, and are nicely located at 588 W. Taylor St., where Prof. Roy would be glad to have his old friends to call and see them. We wiso them all the success which sterling worth and ability hold oat i'n life; and that true happi­ness which flows from the christian love of man and woman.

The Ptckwick Club ha;; m~tde arrallgements to have the com1•lete scores of the league games sent to their ·rooms as soon .as the games are over.

The Junior League is "in the soup." Hard luck has . driven it tn the wall. In other words it is no more. Dis­-satisfact.ion of the players over their classification created disturbances between them and the manage­ment which at last wound up in the downf:tll of the organization.

Things during last week were rather quiet at league headquarters. Most all the difficulties caused by the new, classification rule have been settled and every­thing is now in smooth running order. The following contracts were promu lgaterl; with the Shamrocks, John Dostal and Viatent: Rivard . . .

Negotiations are g0i'ng on between th,c managements of the Crescents and Bourbons by which a deal will be made to transfer Leroux of the Crescents to the Bour­bon club and in return the Crescents want a good man who is able Lo fill the position of short stop.' Leroux is a good player but does not want to play with the Cres­cents.

A good game was played at Bout·bon Park last Wed­nesday between the Bourbons and Dewdrops. It was the first game of the Bourbons at tileir new grounds and a good crowd was in attendance. The score was 11 to 3 in favor of the Dewdrops. B~e Hits, Dewdrops 7 . , Bourbons 3; Errors, Dewdt•ops 4; Bourbons 11. Batter- _ ies, Dewdrops, Gallet and Rivard; Bourbons, Dandu­rand and Coffey.

The following are the percents of the Senior League clubs: Dewdrops 1000; Bourbons. 500; Crescents. 000. At this point of the race, though it is still young, those who are up in sporting matters say they think that. the season will close with the clubs in the same positions.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS. .;.

'·A Century of ConstiLutional lnterpretatrou•· is an able paper coutributed to the April Centu1·y by J uhn Bach !lfcMaster1 The many ineonsistencies of'tlte differ·­ent. states· at various times and for various causes; are here treated in .an intelligent m~1nner by the author. ThP f<LC•.t that the original states forming the Union never difinitely define(l either the powers of the Gener­al Governme:1t or of the individual states, has alwa~-$ left r. chance for the ad voc:ttes of "Stnte Rights'_j-t'o :.~ssert their doctrines and an opportunity to seck the privileges which such a system would give them. Nor can it be said that the st1ccessful te1m :nation of the Civil War closcd .this gap entirely. It certainly blocked it to some ·extent; but who can say that LlH~· fire has been fore~er qucnehed? But in our day the people seek from Congress the solution of many natural dilii­culties and it is to be hoped that the interest.:; of our section may be those of others, for in the consolidating of interests alone, lies the safety of the Commonwealth.

The Ave Maria devoted exclusively to the honor of the Blessed Virgin, tries at all times to see her glorifier! but especially now does it try and how well itsueueerls we leave its readers to judge. The beautifully tender words of praise to Mary !J:we Jl(lt escaperl them bu ~ will find a rearly eeho in their hearts. We cuuld wish to see every child of Mary read this during the beau­tiful Month of l\.laY and learn therefrom tbe honor due to her whom we style "Star of the Sea." -

The Superb number of the Catholzc Home is&uefl to commemorate the "Centennial of 'Yashington's Inau­guration" is a credit to tile able managers of this excellent paper. A neatly designed cut of all the l'>residents of the United States with Washington as a central figure, adorns the first page. On _the same page is Arehhishop Ireland:s beautiful lecture on "The Church and Liberty'' delivered at the Cathedral of Baltimore during the late Plenary Council. This is a most timely introc:uction of this great lecture, telling as it does so well, the position ·of the· Church towards the people and government o1 this great land. Few Americans understand the attitude of the Church and the most bitter critics and nmong those most ignorant l)fber doctrine.

EXCHANGES.

The Q,·acle is our latest visitor. We consider it a a very trim journal considering its short career. It llai ls from Centre College Ky. When we ltarn th<lt the a­bov e inst;tntion was founded in 1819, and numbers U. S Senators among it;; alumni we say that it was *tbout time for the bousetobavea representative paper. More­over we shou lct expect that business would begin im­mertiately and that The Oracle be a creditable paper from the start. The first two issues say as much. B on Success.

It sE:'ems to us that the $ business a nd the college poem accompanying it, which bas been so long going the round of the College press is getting to be a very stale joke if not an odoriferous chestnut. Could not this cen­tennarian be all~wed to spend its declining clays in peaee?

From a n article on "Theory a nd Practice" in the N.

1¥ . Chronicle, we take the foll owing which the writer claims illustr11.tes his subj ect. He is in f,wor of theory precedi11g J •ractiee : "To illustrate tllis; it is far eas ier for a your.g man to m:tke his impression on t.he world by first a.c·quiri ng theory a nd then permitting the worlLl to slnke an d jostle him u•1til all tbe egotism anrl h it; und ue se1~ se of wperiority are expelled aud his in­fhted theory has been reduced to a normal ccud ili ou, an tecede,,t to enhrging wi~h a beautiful experience, than it is for him to fi rst e nt~ r til e anma of actiYe contest u'ntil h-is me:thods are so lidified and then present himse lf at the ed ucator's sar, ctum and have t hat worthy being strive in vain to modify and soften the roughened aspect." WiHsome philanthropist explain thi::;conundrum and slww ns what it illu strates? Outsid e of theory or practice wllat a sensi!:; le thing it is to h<tVe dear a con­ception of wlwt we write or ~peak about.

The College Inclf!.'C in i ts arti cle : '·The Revolutionary 'l'endeney in Ministeri al Education," conveys the sta rt­ling in fo rruat ion that, "Moody and Spurgeon, have discovered that the promises in the Bible were given for men to nse a nd that religion is not theory.'' w·e are g lad to beo r t l!:tt t l,esc notori ety seeking gentlemen llave made suc ll a d iscovery aud ·we oope they will expose tile news to tllcir fol lowers. It is so fasllionable nowa<htys to make discoveries in religion. vVe can always put that religion cl own as good and true which has room left fur cl iscoveries . It is the mark of the age to progress and of co:.:rsc reli g ion must keep up if it wishes to have fo llow('rs. Well, Mess rs. Moody and Co. have made a di scovery ( ?) which another set of Christians made 1800 years ugo aud which they consider ne w and good even in this progressi,·c clay. "\Ve hope M. and Co. may find vu t some other practical things the same party knows just as long. "The F arm" in the same paper has a great many sensible things which we could wish some of our smw·t young men knew. They might pronounce a wiser judgement on "old hayseed" after reading it.

The A cademian does not like to quarrel and when it was attackerl by some rival paper it said so. It kept on saying so till a page of the paper had been filled . Now it was consoling to think of the forbearance sllown. The Ac. had been maliciously accused of bad spelling, and that by a journal which had lost every claim to the sympathy of man; · for had it not also committed orthographical murder in the ninth degree? Yet it dared t•> insinuate-just thinK fer one moment dear reader what would have happened if the Ac. had been a fighting character. How we must admire the fortitude which restr!\ined you under such trying circumstances. That's right sonny , t ell pe(1ple you dont like to fight. Its not nice to fight and to say why means a page fi lled up with goocl readable matter. Eb!

A new college wi ll soon be erected in the diocese of Peoria near :Spring Vitlley Ill ., where tlie Benedictines, tn1cler whose charge it will be, have pnrchasecl some two lmndrecl acres of laud for that purpose. This will be a great acquisitiou to the already fl ourishing diocese.

The .Josepllite Fathers who devote theml;elves to the spir­itual weJbre of the negroes in lhe l lnitccl btates, report that they have received into the Church last year :3:J con­verts in Louisville, 04 in Washington, 24 in Charlesto1•, 30 in li.ichmond, and Wl in Betltimore.

The Holy Fatl1er will hold a consistory this mouth, when be will create three French Cardinals, one Austrian (the Bishop Salzburg), one Belgian (the Archbishop of llialines), one Spanish and one Uerman (either the Bishop of Breslan or the Archbishop of Cologne).

We are informed by the Liverpool Catholic Times that on P alm Sunday, Cardinal N ewman, in accordance with his invariable custom was present at High Mass at the Oratory· He blessed the Palm and stayed through the greater part of the service. He was assisted off and on tlw alter by two of the Fathers.

Cardinal Gibbons with a party of clergy and laity started from Baltimore May 1, for New Orleans where on the following Sunday the Cardinal conferred the pallium, on Archbishop .Janssens, of New Orleans. The party who accompanied the Cardinal are Bishop Kaln of ·wheeling, G·en . .John Boland, and .Rev. N. S. Canghy.

The ~isters of the Good ~hepherd, of Chicago, have purchased the premises at Prairie and Indiana avenues near Forty-ninth streets, being :300 feet frontage on th~ avenues named. The ground which is wooded is in a rapidly growing section. The consideration is$ 40,000. The Chicago industrial school for girls will be located there. The girls, now numbering 160 will be transferred to it as soon as

~practicable.

The Catholics of the United States joined ardently in the Centennial celebration. In accordance with t\le letters of the ~\rcllblshops and Bishops of the country the taithfnl joyfuliy made their way on Inaugaration Day, to th :;} thousand of our churches scattered over the land from Maine to California. The congregations assisted at the Holy Sacrilice of the mass and joined with heart and wtil in the prayers for those iu anthority. The scene was a gr:;at one; worthy of noting for all tim3. It would be well if in religious lands would study the lesson of our grateful acknowledge­ment of tlte Almighty in the history of om· rise, progress and present eminent place amoug the nations of the earth. They might then admit-that there can be no na:_tional advance­ment where religious pe-rsecution is carried on.

(The Catholic America.) A novel feature of the :c;olemn High Mass Easter Sunday

at the Church of St . .Peter Claver, l''remont Street, near Pennsylvania A venue, Baltimore, was the singing of the music of the Mass in Latin by 180 colored children pupils o'f ~t P eter <.:laver's School, from 8 to 14 years of age. Tl:!:,e larger proportion of the singers were girls. It was the ¥st time a whole Mass had been sung by colored ch ildren. They were instructed by two young ladles in music and in ti le pronunciation of Latin. The Mass was l:ltoeclin's. There was no solo singing in the Mass. The juveniles closed with the hymn, in English. "To-day lie is Arisen," which they sung in rejoicing note of triumph. At the Benediction the children sang "1tegina Coeli" and the "Laudate," as well as a number of hymns in English,

(The Church News.) A ca,blegram d<ttocl 30th states: "After a four-days' ride

across the mountains of Ualilee the American pilgrims have arrived at ~azareth. They are all ;,veil with one excep tion, although greatly fatigued by the mode of locomotion which brought them h3re. llev. H enry Robinson, of Lead­ville, Colorado, is suffering from painful tiesh wounds in­flicted by the kicks of a vicious horse. The pilgrims have camped out for the past four nights, and the experience will not cease to be a subject of conversation until they reach their own land again. The Americans were received with more than usual solemnity. The Sodalities of the city met them outs.icle the walls a!ld escorted them to tl1e church of Annunciation, which is built over the spot associated with the announcement of the angel to the Blessed Virgin. Inside the walls the procession received additional strength and beauty from the accession of a large body of school children, who led the way, singing as they went. ·within the church the scene was splendid, and the Te Deum from the grand organ seemed to have a sweeter sound than ever before. Here, where the beginning of th,e Mysteries was witnessed, the Father Guardian welcomed the American pilgrims in the name of tht- Franciscans and expressed _llis sense of delight at the privilege of being permitted to receive a band of American citizens.

Sp3aking of the unfortunate Gavazzi, the \Vorcester (Mass) Times says; "The hapless Gavazzi, the nations fallen priest· and anti-Papal revolutionist, who, for so many years gave himself body and soul to the services of the enemy of the church, is dead. And to, the churcll, which -like other apostates from the days of Julian to those of Voltaire-L e swore to destroy, still lives and flourishes with fruitful and glorious life. So it has been from the beginning and so lt shall be to the end,"
