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.

His Silver Jubilee.
The silver jubilee of Rev. 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. From New Chapters in the War

While Intoxicated Rev. Father Sulek
Did Some Foolish Things.
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.

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;

Short Talks with Hat Buyers.
Some remarks as a starter:
You have to buy a Hat. 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.
