No sooner had the anarchist, Czolgosz, sent two bullets tearing through the body of tho president of the United States, than tho anarchists of I'atcrson, N. J., called a mass meeting. Assembling 400 strong In tho danco hall back of a saloon kept by one of the "fraternity," they congratulated ono another upon the activity of tho order nt Uurtalo, and upon the salutary effects upon the country exercised by brothers bravo enough to live up to tho order's Rrcat doctrine referring, presumably, to the doctrlno pertaining to romoval of rulers. No attempt was made to keep tho meeting secret. It was an open session and the pollco of I'atcrson permitted It, There nro moro confessed anarchists In Pntcrson, so for os known, than In any other city In the United States. And yet In no city nre tho pollco so tolerant of the "reds" an there. Whllo tho authorities of New York, Chicago, Iloston, St. LouK Cleveland nnd Detroit are rounding up nil known anarchists, making them glvo ac counts of themselves nnd placing them under surveillance, the pollco of I'atcrson arc allowing several thousand persons In their city to wave tho red flag unmolested nnd unchallenged. "I acted nlono" says tho assassin. There was no plot, I have no accomplice" Hut thon all nnarchlst murderers, under cross examination, swear to acting nlone. A ecoro of tho "staff officers" In I'atcrson hovo said: "We net Individually." Past killings of rulers show that tho killers really do act Indlvlduallv after the plot Is hatched nnd lots have boon drawn. Then It Is that tho one who drew the fatal lot disappears to net henceforth Individually. Every group or branch of organized an archy In this country Is directed by those occupying tho scats of the mighty In I'atcr son. Tho assassin declares himself a mem ber of tho Chlcogo group, which is n part of tho "Right to Exist Society of America," having Its headquarters In I'atcrson. Tho assassin further admits that ho was In spired by the writings of thnt high priestess of anarchy, Emma Goldman. The Goldman woman Is a frequent visitor In Patorson, and tho "writings" which In spired tho assassin wcro contributions over her nnmo which appeared In tho principal organ of anarchy In this country, I.a QuesUono Soclalc, published In I'atcrson.

Hut because of all this think not that when you step from tho train nt Paterson you aro Immediately confiontcd by men waving red llaga and holding knives be tween their teeth.

This chief of Italians is a Spaniard named Pedro Estovc. In his rooms on the top floor, bnck, Is pub lished La Questlone Snclale. Editing this weokly papor Is Estevo's ostensible occu pation. Ills real llfo work is sharpening tho knives of regicides and fattening tho purses of royal undertakers, Hera aro some, of tho tools of his trade: "Killing n king makes people think. Wo want to ex terminate evils by force. We never con sider consequences. Wo nro opposed to government, which means political tyranny. Wo do not bolleve In religion, laws or Individual ownorshlp of property." Esteve exhibits theso tools In the columns of La Questlone Soclalo nnd gives lessons In their use. Tho brightest among tho Paterson "Hcds" are sent to othor places, Chicago, Now York, St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, Den ver, wherever thero nre night to Existence groups, even to small places like Harre, Vt., where tho anarchists number 200, thero to preach the doctrines formulated in Pater son. These disciples of Esteve may bo called professors of nnarcnlsm. They nre traveling libraries of universal knowledge as applied to the "removal" of excellencies.

"Apostle to Second only to Father Do Smet In his devotion to and sacrifices for the Indians of tho northwest ranks the distinguished Episcopal bishop oT Minnesota, lit. Hev. Henry Uenjamln Whipple, who passed away at the ago of 79 at his homo In Farlbbault, Minn., last Monday. Though not a con temporary of Father De Stnct, the pioneer of pioneer clergymen and representing an opposing creed, his zeal in behalf of the Indian tribes nnd his success In carrying tho lights of Christianity and civilization amoni; them forms one of the brightest pages of western history. Hlshop Whipple combined many notable characteristics. He was at once spiritual guldo and statesman, advocato and ruler, philanthropist and diplomat. He came to the trannmlsstsslppl commonwealth the year after statehood had been attained, In 1859, when Minnesota was naught but a howling, Indian hnunted wilderness and desolate prairie. He undertook the championship of the aborigines and protected their In terests successfully against tho Injustice and wrongful encroachments of the whltos. both Individual and government. For fortv two years has the bishop been tho best tic loved nnd most thoroughly trusted f! lend of the northwestern Indians. Bishop Whipple was born at Adams, N. Y., In 1822, and was educated In private schools., lie prepared for college, but. on nccount of fceblo health, turned hi atten tion to mercantile pursuits nnd took nn nctlvo Interest In politics for several years. At one time he wns prominent In the stnte mllltla, holding a colonelcy. Upon deciding to study for the ministry, he followed a theological courso under Hev. Dr. William D. Wilson, sho was afterward professor In Cornell university. Young Whipple wns ordained deacon In Trinity church. Geneva. N. Y In 1819, nnd In the following year wns ordained priest In Christ church, Sack ett's Harbor, both by Hlshop DcLaticev. Ho received the degreo of D. D. from Ho- True Children of Erin Tho heart of the Irish peasant Is given entirely to his children. Ho will debate for hours on tho government's policy nnd work himself Into a fighting mood over the decisions of the county council, but when tho tnlk lends to the '.'ones nt homo" politics pales Into Insignificance. "Aw, it's th' chiltlcr. Is It? God bliss their llttlo sowls, but It's me nn' Mary Is th' proud pair! Shure, there'B only tin, but th' beatln' of thlm ye can't find In all Ireland." When tho first born arrives Pat is a proud man, indeed, but it Is only when ho has to turn down the lingers on both hauds to enumerate them that his vanity be comes a mutter of anxiety to his friends. Then It is that he nssumes u new Impor tance In tho nffalrs of tho townland. IIo Is old enough now to lose the undignified ap pellation of "b-hoy," and swell his chest in tho deserved title of "man, bogob." Ono of the most popular nomnn Catholic clergymen In the west of Ireland, when visiting n peasant, Jokingly observed tho number of children In tho family. "Aw, yo haven't seen half of them ylt, ycr rlverlnco. Wait a bit." Pat opened tho "front an' bnck dures" of tho kitchen, ordered the children out side, nnd placed "creels" on tho floor so that no ono could pass In or out without first Jumping tho baskets. When every thing had been arranged to his satisfaction ho called to the children "to como In th' front dure, chaso 'cross th' flure, an' thin Jump out agin over th' 'creel' In th' back dure." Tho Jumping began, and ns fast as one "gossoon" disappeared from the "back dure" nnother hopped smilingly Into vlow. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty wcro counted, and still tho procession continued. Then the priest noticed that several of tho fuces seemed familiar. Ho closed tho back door, nnd when eight llttlo urchins had circled tho house and leaped Into tho kitchen tho fraud was manifest. "Well, Pat, that's a neat trick." said the priest. "Troth, an' ycr rlverlnco, It's no thrick Origin of Marriage Customs How llttlo tho fashlonnblo brldo In tho smnrt sot today realizes that nil of tho wedding custoniH of tho present aro rooted la tho pagan past.

Tho orange blossoms came In n moro civilized nge, though not Christian, and augured great fertility for tho woman. Tho veil, ns still In modern oriental countrlis, typifies cxclislvo possession by ono mnn.

Not until tho tenth century did Anglo Saxon women have nny right of choice. Betrothed ns children, the groom's pledge wns called n wed; whenco our word. Tho primitive Anglo-Saxon ceremonies conlnlned these promises: "For fairer or fouler, for better, for worse, for richer or poorer." Then tho man put the ring on each of his wife's finger, saying: (i) "in the name of the Father; (2) Of tho Son; (S) Of Holy Ghost; (4) Amen. Tho father gae the huabnnd nn old shoe, with which he tapped his wife on the head, ns 11 sign of authority. Welsh law permitted only moderate wife benting. Three blows were deemed sutll clent, "with stick no longer than an nrm!" Long nfter the advent of Christianity marrlngo was purely secular. In 15C3 the council of Trent made the ecclesiastical a great wrong cause, tho rlng-leadors of tno "reds" hold their secret meetings. No parliamentary red tape governs tholr ses sions. They have uo organization, no rules, IIO dues, no Officers. Slmnlv. on Saturday nights they drift Into Esteve's lair, discuss, articles In the current Issue of La Ques Mono Soclnle, nnd suggest wnvs nnd mn of helping the "cause." At the sumo tlmo tho rank nnd fllo of anarchism are In ses sion In tho dingy back roomB of various saloona, where drunkeness Is almost un known, but whore men frequently succumb to tho Intoxication of Bcarlet Ideas. Whenover tho newspapers print flaring headlines by which special attention Is directed upon Paterson, then the "reds" call a mass meeting. Tho town Is flooded with posters announcing that nn open meet ing of Italians tho word anarchist Is not used will bo held In Hartboldl hall. The the Indians" bart and naclne colleges, Ho was called to Zlon church, Home, 7 Y., In 1830, and the parish lncrcnsed so apldly under his rectorship that he soon built a handsomo stone church. Later ho went to Chicago nnd there established the free church sys tem. In 1859 he was unanimously chosen bishop of Minnesota, a diocese embracing 81,259 square miles. Hlshop Whipple had the sole charge of the vast diocese of Minnesota up to sixteen years ago, when he asked for a coadjutor, who was appointed In the person of Mnhlon N. Gilbert, a bright, vigorous young man, but the bishop outlived his far younger as sistant, who died two years ago. At tho diocesan council held In St. Paul tho ven erable bishop surprised his people by an nouncing that he would not ask for another assistant, us his health and strength had been regained In such degree that he could perform all the work easily, nnd he did so nlmost to the end. When he began his work In Minnesota forty-two years ago thcro wtro but 20,000 people In the etato nnd not a railroad. No life was over moro truly dedicated to any work. All his Jour neys, whether In the torrldlty of summer, tho 10 degrees below zero of n Minnesota winter or the driving rains nnd winds, wcro mado In an open sleigh or wagon, on horse back, by ennoo or on foot, carrying his Im pedimenta on his shoulders. As n friend nnd admirer of tho bishop said: "It has been a llfo of fearless devotion nnd cour age, but by his wise Judgment, broad ca Uiollcy, splendid statesmanship, absoluto self-abnegation, his keen sense of Justice and his manliness, he built up a dloceso that looms up In the history of the church, n witness to Its founder." All this had been accomplished when, sixteen years ago, his health broko down, owing to tho fearful exposures of his frontier Journeys nnd to his having several times been lost In blizzards. nt all. I wos only glvln' yo a notion of me Intlntions rcgardln' th' future!" At n chrlstonlng on another occasion It Is told that when tho numo of "Patrick Emmet" wns repeated to tho priest tho lat ter remarked: "Is not ono of the family already called "Emmet?" "Shure, aye, thcro 1b," said a bystander. "Hut what matthcr, they've run out of mines nn' have to begin over agin." Tho Irish boy has a hard lot, but In spite of nil Is tho very essenco of fun nnd mis chief. Ho Is exceedingly shy at first nc qunlntance, but as soon ns his reserve has been partly forgotten ho is nn Interesting llttlo person. Ho will then tell you all about tho "praty" crop nnd tho "folne growln' wpnthcr It Is," not forgottlng to lament tho prevailing low prices for farm produco and "th' troublo me farther has to git. along." As the acquaintance ripens, however, this line of thought will be aban doned nnd tho lad will tell with glowing eyes of tho "flshln' hole, down there, with the biggest roaches In It;" point out "th' bog where th' blst turf clortdln' match wos Ivor seen," and rcclto with growing enthu siasm tho way "us gossoons stole all th' apples out of ould Kitty's orchard." Irish boys nnd girls nro early risers. Likely enough beforo their parents put In an appearance In tho kitchen tho turf flro will bo blazing on the hearth, the oat meal "stir-hbout" boiling furiously in tho llttlo "skillet," the gouts s milked nnd everything ready for breakfast except to "wot th' tay In th' brown tnypot." There Is small ceremony connected with break fast. On stools nnd chairs tho members of tho family sit around tho kitchen "suppln" th' stlr-nbout." Tho oatmeal Is served on plates which are carried off and laid on tho corners of chairs or elso bal anced neatly on tho ends of stools. Tho oatmcnl Is followed by hnlf n cup of tea and a thick sllco of homo baked flour bread. Dinner usually consists of pota toes, buttermilk nnd a sllco of American bacon. Tea nnd bread como nt G o'clock and If tho family grows Its own oats, oat meal Is again in order boforo retiring for tho night. Tho food Is wholesome, If lack ceremony binding. Thero wns. however, a custom of priests being called In to bless tho marriage bed. In Nottinghamshire there Is n doggerel Informing tho public of tho time when .ho church permitted weddings: "Advent marriage doth deny, Hut Hilary gives theo liberty. Septuagesima nny theo nay. Eight dayn from Easter says you may. Itogutlon bids theo to contain, Hut Trinity sets thee free nguln." The Greek church linn tho most elnbornto rituals. Wo are familiar with the Russian wedding feasts. In Slavonic ritual tho wlno drunk by tho now couple Is called the "cup of bitterness!" Champagne Is served In the czar's land, and gucHts aro given souvenir Initial boxes nf cake. Yet twentieth century Americans' bellevo their marriage customs original! Tn Cardiganshire, Wiiles, 11 wedding Is very tame unless tho groom captures iho bride after u thrilling pscudo-sklrmlsh. Tho relatives offer mock resistance, nnd much scuffling and horse-plny ensue. A dialogue In verne-old ballad style-being finished, the groom Is ndmltted nnd seeks tho bride, who Is disguised as un old womun, often with a male Infant In her arms, the symbol of sons nnd holrs. At tho church the bride Is twitched by her relatives and the groom's party pursue on horseback. At lust nho is tossed back, and whoever receives her will be wed within one yenr. (Similar to uur throwing of tho bride's bouquet.) Purchase grudualy superseded capture. Tho father's wrath wns mitigated by baso coin. Occaslonaly the. bridegroom offered his own sister, In lieu of cash! Hut literal capture Is still prevnlent In barbarous countries, and puichaso In soml-clvlllzod ones, such us China nnd Mohammednn sec tions. Arabian fathers sometimes present their duughter with a sword, signifying freedom. For ono blessed moment she belongs to no man then she presents it to her husband, and thenceforth Is in his power. Habylonlans nnd Assyrians purchased public, tho police and the press nre In vited, Estevo addresses tho meeting on somo such subject ns "Prosperity In Italy," making no allusion to anarchism. The object of all this Is to convince whom It may concern, that tho meetings of Italians are quite as harmless as other political meetings. Tho "bluff" Is so apparent that even tho secret service men have Ions slnco ceased to attend theso "mass meet ings." It was one of these meetings, a trlflo bolder than usual, that the chl?f of police permitted tho anarchists of Pateraon to hold on the night the president was shot, "They aro quiot, peaceablo home-bodies," says tho chief of police. "Of all tho classes In Paterson they give us the least trouble." This Is true, so far as the local pollco are concerned. It Is not to be expected that the anarchists will remove tho mayor and other officials of Paterson, Just to keep In Close of the Career of a Pioneer Clergyman. With this, and tho fact of tho rapidly In creasing populntlou, It became, as stated above, uecessary for him to obtain nn as sistant. This relieved him of a portion of the burden, but he was always tho great diocesan guiding, directing, planning and working. Hallways and the comforts and luxuries of present day civilization which now belong to tho state make It dllTlcuU to realize what tho work of Hlshop Whipple's eplscopato has been. Some years after his coadjutor was elected tho northern part of the state was mado Into n missionary Juris diction. Tho Intimate friendships which the prelate has enjoyed with distinguished men of America and Europe throughout the past half century help tell tho story of tho man's own remarkable personality. "It Is a life that no pen can do Justice to," de clares a close friend of the bishop. Ono of tho chief and probably the most enduring of Hlshop Whipple's works wns the founding of schools nt Faribault, Minn., which hnvo nttalncd world-wide repute. Ho laid tho cornorstoncs of the beautiful St. Mary's Hall, for girls; Shattuck Military school, for boys j Scabury Divinity school nnd the Cathedral of tho Merciful Savior at Faribault. He passed most of his time n tho cvaugillzatlon of the Sioux, Chippewa nnd other tribes of Indians nnd received from them tho name of "Straight Tongue," because ho never lied to them. Tho bishop was appointed by different presidents of tho United States upon Important Indian com missions to mnko treaties with the red men. Ho was a recognized authority on nil phases of tho Indian question. His courageous struggle against tho Iniquitous system carried on by tho Indian agents of tho government, when he stood nlone In tho fight, his masterly pleas and nddresses on tho subject, together with his great educa tional work, make his a figure unique In tho history of the last half century. Interesting Char acter Sketches. ing In variety, nnd It Is a question If In nil the world healthier children nro found.

Their hands nro taught tn labor nt a tender ngo nnd yet their faces bear tho stamp of health and their red checks nro a revelation to the tourist. "Whero did you get thoeo nice red thceks, my little man?" nsked a traveler of n bareheaded lad of II. "Git thlm! I nlver got thlm, I Just alwls had thlm." It Is really pathetic to witness the sacri fices tho pensants make to glvo their chil dren somo kind of nn education. Although tho parents themelvos may be Illiterate, thoy sparo neither Mine nor money In "glvln th' chlldcr good larnln'." Compul sory education has lately been Introduced, but It has been found necessary to enforce tho law only in Instances of nbsenco from kchool because of an Insufficiency of cloth ing for tho children. School Is over at 3 o'clock, when the boys must hurry homo to work on the fnrm, the girls mennwhllo helping around the homo. If tho peat har vest has been a success tho donkey will bo harnessed nnd ono of tho "gossoons" sent to "town" to find n purchaser for a load of turf. A school boy returning nftcr selling his turf Is pictured above. Moro than likely this boy has an old clay plpo secreted nbout his person and when evening comes he will, no doubt, bo found lying behind a whltchorn bush with scvcrnl conspirators, whittling n plcco of "thwlst," tobacco, rolling It b'otwecn his palms and qunrrellng for the prlvilego of tho first "dhraw." Tho smoking is dono in secret until tho oventful day comes, when his fnthor "wipes his own clay 'dauber' on hie coat sleovo and nsks him to tako a pull."

The Jewish bridegroom crushes tho wine glass to atoms with his foot, to obliterate the past. , In China the maiden steps over a flro at the threshold, gypsies "hop the broomstick." All these superstitions of tho past havo como to ub In modified form, but tho love of tradition nnd tendency toward Imitation makes uh slow to part with them. Endless Jests havo been mtule upon the word "obey," nnd women largely repudi ate It, yet tho great orthodox churches mill require It. Denmark has recently nbollshed the word legally.
