Is This a Joke. , When St. Patrick was one time amongst the pagan Irish they grew very fierce, and seemed eager to kill him. Then, his life being in great danger, he kneeled down before them and. prayed to God for help, and for the conversion of their souls. And the fervor of the prayer was so great,1 that as he rose up, the mark of his knees was left deep on the stone, and when the people saw the miracle they believed. Now when he cme to the next vil lage, the people said if he performed gome wonder for them, they also would believe and pray to his God. So St. Patrick drew a great circle on the ground, and bade them stand outside it; and then he prayed, and lo! the water ru3bed np from the earth, and a well pure and bright as crystal filled the circle. And the people believed and were baptized. The well can be seen to this day and is called Tober na Laner (The Well of the Book), because St. Patrick placed his own praerbook in the center of the circle before the water rose.

Otto Groenebaum, formerly of Omaha, but now pastor of St. Nicholas Catholic church at South Evanslon, was cele brated today. Father Groenebaum offi ciated at solemn high mass, and the sermon was delivered by Father Held man of this city. A large number of the clergy were present, including Archbishops Feehan and Kathzer, and some of Father Groenebaum'a former associates from the St Louis, Nebraska, Alton and Milwaukee diocese. After the church services the visiting prelates and priests were entertained xt dinner. Father Groenebaum has been in charge at South Evanston five years, and in that time has built up the church there from almost nothing, until now it has s church building, a school, a home for the sisters, who teach their children, and a parochial residence. He was born in Westphalia,' Germany, in 1837, and was educated at the Mun ster university. He was ordained at Milwaukee in 1867, and since then he has had charge at Omaha, Maple Park, Oregon, and South Evanston, III. Re printed from the Onaha World-Herald Theological Suppression of Science. Why the people at large took this view is easily understood when we note the attitude of the guardians of learning, both Catholic and Protestant, in th8t age. It throws great light up on sundry claims, by modern theolo gians to take charge of public instruc tion and of the evolution of science. So important was it. thought. to have "sound learning" guarded, and "safe science" taught, that in many of the universities, as late as the end of the seventeenth century,' professors were forced to take an oath not to hold the "Pythagorean" that is, the Coperni can idea as to the movement of the heavenly bodies. As the contest went on, professors were forbidden to make known to students the facts revealed by the telescope. Special orders to this effect were issued by the ecclesias tical authorities to the universities and colleges of Pisa, Innspruck, Louvain, Douay, Salamanca, and others; during generations we find the authorities of these universities boasting that these godless doctrines were kept away from their students. It is touching lo hear such boasts made then, just as it is touching now to hear suadry excellent university authorities boast that tbey discourage the reading of Mill, Spen cer and Darwin. Nor were such at tempts to keep the truth from students confined to the Roman Catholic insti tutions of learning. Strange as it may seem, nowhere were the facts confirm ing the Copernican theory more pare fully kept out of sight than at Witten berg; the university of Luther, end Melanchthon. About the middle of the sixteenth century there were at that center of Protestant instruction two astronomers of a very high order, Rheticui and Reinbold; both of these after thorough study, had convinced themselves that the Copernican system was true, but neither of them wae allowed to tell this truth to bis stud ents.

Buffalo, N. V., Feb. 18. About a year ago. Rev, Father Sulek became pastor of a church m this city, and for awhile all seemed to go well, but of late there has been dissensioni and ill feeling between the pastor and congre gation. The latter charge Mr. Sulwk with druhkenne and immorality, and here is where tne whole trouble began. OffWrs of a society connected wiA the church, say the pastor came to their meeting Sunday afternoon iu ati intoxicated condition, broke open their doors, seized the man nearest hiiii, Andrew W. Conoski, and tried to ejoot him from the room. A scuffle ensued in which the priest drew a long knife and struck a powerful blow at his an tagonist's breast Other members $f the society interfered and the priest was ejected from the room. f In his sermon Sunday the priest charged all the women with immoral ity. This caused great consternation among the church members, and 'a bitter feeling against the priest is mani fest on all sides. Andrew Canoski has swore, out a warrant for the Rev. Father Sulek's arrest, but Judge Hilt- postponed the hearing until Thursday morning. s ' ' Skirt Dance In a Church. rne worm-iieraia oi wns cny oi in$ 21st ins t. published the following des patch: ' '.'.""f Detroit, Mich., Feb. 20. A Spanish skirt dance in a church is the remark able event to which a Detroit congrega' tion has been treated. It was an enter tainment given at the parish building, of the Catholic church of the Messiah. Blanche Kern, a pretty 16-year-old girl, . was the performer, and she has merit; in fact, she would make a fair rival to the ; olive-skinned Carmencita. Tlw church was crowded, and all eyes wera eargely fixed on the handsome youn dancer. The bald heads ia the front row were a little disappointed, however, for when Blanch came to do her high kicking she delibratoly turned her back on the audience. The men in sisted on an encore. Tho ladies blushed and applauded too. The kicking was the greatest success of the evening, x; Be sure and send your watch to John Rudd'a- 305 north 16 street when you want it repaired. What You Want.

There is a natural law the law of self-preservation which forces you to have a hat. When you get a hat, Avhy not get a good one, and at the same time save money. What have you been paying for your Hats? 82, $3,v or $4? Perhaps you have been putVing up a "V" for them; this is useless extravagance. " '' We make a $4.00 Ilat-that will discount any $5.00 Hat in Omaha. Come round and see us, and if you do not wish to buy. just yet, keep U3 in mind any way, or, perhaps, you can kind o' brace up that hat you have been wearing all winter, and put on a new band, binding, etc. If you never have had anything lile this done you will, be surprised' at the improvement a little work onthat old hat will make.
