Fully 2,000 delegates were present today when tho twenty-fourth annual conven tion of tho Catholic Total Abstinence Union ojened In this city. Among the prominent ecclesiastics present are Bishop Wattemon, of Columbus, Ohio, whose recent manifesto against liquor dealers in the 1 Ionian Catholic church caused such a sensation; Bishop Tier noy, of Hartford, Conn.; Bishop Mes mer, of Green Bay, Wis.; Father Uod nett, of Chicago, and Father Conorty, of Springfield, Mars.

The early adjournment was so that all might attend pontifical high mass at the cathedral, where the dele' gates were addressed by Archbishop Ireland. Archbishop Ireland address was long, and was a welcome to the dele gates as well as an appeal for and argu- CENSl'S STATISTICS ment in favor of total abstinence. The archbishop enumerated the fol lowing points as the chief alms of the warfare of Catholics against intemper ance. The conversion to sobriety of Catholics by baptism and profession who are tho victims of intemperance; the discountenancing of social drinking customs; the elimination of all liquor from the side-board in Catholio fami lies, from Catholio clubrooms, and from despicable kings. How often are the sins of a family or a poople visited upon the head of an Innocent woman! Thousands of American male brutes, nominally of tho genus homo, plan and scheme day and night for the defile ment, debauchmont and demission of every attractive girl whom they may meet. Many an alleged American gentleman affects to believe that every working-girl is a gullible grlsetto, and he proceeds upon that assumption.

He said there was more business in Credit than in Cash. Things went on for two years and suddenly Credit failed. Poor Credit was so dis couraged that he became ill. Cas took Credit home to his father and the old roan was much surprised that Credit had failed. He said to Credit, What is tho trouble; you were doln better than Cash? Credit said, "I sold lots of goods to people on trust, as knew they intended to pay, but they put It off so long that I had to suspend while Cash did nothing but a cash bust ness and received all that was duo to him at once."

The Catholic church, he said, has put herself on high ground In op position to intemperance and all its al liances. No stronger and clearer words could be spoken than those of Leo XIII In his letter on temperance work In America, of the father of the council of Baltimore, and of Monslgnore Satolli, the courageous and intelligent repre sentative in this matter, as in all others, oi vno American republic.

If American society is to remain strong and stable, greater protection must be extended to young girls, especially In large cities. Thousands of girls are being ruined every year In Chicago and other places. The amount of concupis cence, ribaldry, drunkenness and pro faneness which exist among the pro letariat of America must appoal to the thoughtful and patriotic citizen. Illicit Intercourse is so common as to seri ously disturb the equilibrium of the social autonomy. The number of American girls who are approachable, is said to be astounding. American so ciety on tho lower strata seems to be in a good deal tho condition of English society from the Restoration in 1000 to the beginning of the evangelical era in 1729. "What is to become of our girls?" is one of the most pertinent questions of the hour. It is said that among the Parsees of India a wanton was never known. The work of reformation and revolution in America must proceed to that point where there will not be, throughout the length and breadth of the republic, a single impure girl. The enemy you are fighting is partly re sponsible for this state of affairs. Adalbert Beach. A Patriotic Lady. AUBURN Park, July 26, 1394.-Edi-tor The American: Some time ago I wrote your business manager that we were organizing a W. A. P. A. council at this place and asked for sample copies of your paper for distribution. We have a council of only eighteen members as yet, but more are coming in all the time, and we hope soon to be able to do much good for the cause. We are with you heart and soul In the fight against Romanism, and we believe that the present strike and all the con sequent trouble is a deep-laid scheme of the Jesuits and Roman Catholic offi cials to blot out this order and all such papers as dare expose any of their vile purposes or doings. This is growing to be the opinion of Chinese, 14 Japanese and 322 Indians. Of the 13,620 parents of tho white prisoners 05,732 were native and 60,153 word foreign born, and the birthplaces of 8,735 wore reported as unknown. If the unknown be omitted, the percent age of prisoners fijom the native ele ment Is 43.19, and of the foreign ele ment 56 81. That is, 14.77 per cent, of the population furnishes 56.81 per cent, of the criminals of this country. Or 9,249,547 foreigners give to tho jails, workhouses and penitentiaries 56.81 per cent, of the entire criminal popula tion. From tho same bulletin the total number of paupers In alms houses is stated to be 73,045; 66,578 whites, 6,418 negroes, 13 Chinese and 36 Indians. Of the 133,156 parents of the white paupers 45,215 were native, 63,587 were foreign-born and 25,354 unknown as to birthplace. Omitting the unknown, as In the case of criminals, 41.56 per cent, of th9 paupers were of mvtive and 58.44 per cent, of foreign birth. The deduc tion is the same precisely as that which was applied to the criminal class. If account be taken only of the 105,885 parents whose nativity is known, then 43.19 per cent, of the crime committed in the United States by white men and women can ba charged to the native white element of the entire population, of the groat principles of Catholic truth and of Catholio practical life. It now remains with Individual Catholics so to live and work as to realize in daily life the teachings of tho church and bring others to realize them. Temperance work, courageous and con tinuous, w.'U put the church in her true light and, more perhaps than aught else, will commend her to America. The archbishop appealed for cc operation to priests and lay people, both men and women, but particularly to priests, of whom there were a very large number present in the cathedral. The priests must be the leaders in the warfare by word and example; the peo ple will Burely follow them. In the hands of the priests is the future of the Catholiy church in America. The annual report of Secretary Doyle shows a tremendous increase of mem bership during the year. Reference was made to a recent letter of Bishop WTatterson, referring to which Secre tary Doyle says: "This letter marks the progress of temperance sentiment, and shows to what height the rise of public opinion has come. Temperance ideas and the enactment of the legislative bodies of the churches are moulding into laws the sentiment as it grows, and each law as it is enacted marks the progress that is made.

Once upon a time in a small town in New Ireland there lived a poor cobbler. He had two sons named Credit and Cash. They were both nice boys and had been brought up to lead honest lives.

At the Roman Catholio summer school Sunday the festivities opened with solemn pontifical mass, celebrated by Rt. Rev. Bishop Burke, of Albany, as sisted by Very Rev. Father McGucki, O. M. I., rector of the University of Ottawa, assistant priest. Archbishop Corrigan presided at the throne, as sisted by Rev. Drs. Conaty and J. A Connolly, secretary. Rev. J. J, Wynne, S. J., of Philadelphia, editor of the Messenger of the Sacred Heart, preached on "The Work of the League of the Sacred Heart for Fifty Years, Vicar General Walsh entertained Archbishop Corrigan and Bishop Burke at dinner. At 3 o'clock the archbishop and bishop drove to the summer school grounds and Inspected the various bulldiDg sites. At 3:30, in the presence of hundreds of Bummer school students and visitors who had come by boat and private conveyance, the archbishop laid the corner Btone of .the administration building and blessed the casino, which is In course of con struction. After the blessing Dr, Conaty made a spirited and eloquent tpeech, treating of the objects of the school for which this building was erected. Major John Byrne, of New York, president of the improvement company, detailed the plins and hopes of his company for the development of the property. The archbishop then gave the benediction, after which all joined in tho hymn ' Holy God." Father Sherman Scores Allgeld. Milwaukee, Wis., July 30. Rev. Thomas Sherman, sun of the late Gen eral Sherman, preached at the anni versary services at St. John's cathedral Sunday morning. Today is the forty first anniversary of tho founding of the congregation. Father Sherman took as his subject, "The Visible Unity of the Church." The necessity of unity in religion, he said, was shown by its necessity in civil government. He told how cities were united under a mayor, and the cities, collected together, formed a state, which was united under the administration of a governor, with the president as the head over all. This was analogous, he said, to the organization of the church, with its parish priests, bishopa, archbishops, eto., and with tho supreme rulor as the head of the wholo system. The neces sity of being united under the highest executive was illustrated by the recent labor troubles in Chicago. Father Sherman took occasion here mildly to score Governor Altgeld for his action, and to praise President Cleveland for his prompt measures to suppress the riots. The lesson lay In tho fact that tho head of the government, with the authority given him by a united peo ple, was able to end the confusion, while if the affair rested solely in the hands of Governor Altgeld the city would have been plunged into anarchy. This, he said, taught the need of allegiance to one head, who would be over all other executives. The sermon was sug gested, Father Sherman said, by the pope's late encyclical on the necessity of unity in religion, in which all were invited, whether christian, infidel, pagan, or Jew, to return to unity. Leo XIII, in his encyclical of Janu ary 10th, 1890, says: "It Is impetuou indeed to break the laws of Jesus Christ for. the purpose of obeying the magistrate, or to transgress the laws of the church under tho pretext of obey ing the civil law;" and "If the laws are hostile to the duties imposed by relig ion, or violate in tho person of the sov ereign pontiff the authority of Jesus Christ, then Indeed it is a duty to resist them and a crime to obey them."
