Father Fitz-jfrrald Lone Vest ments Made f n Convent In Ireland. BOLD SERVICE OF GRATITUDE The congregation of St. Leo' suffered a very gevere loss on Mon day morning, when their church was found to be on fire. It la a matter of general surprise how the church waa saved from total destruction ' when the flames were forcing their way through the windows in the sanctuary. All that could be done with the very Inadequate protection against fire In Highland Park was done, and It Is to the credit of the citizens of the town, without any thought of creed or religion, that they extended every effort to keep the church from total destruction The blaze Issuing from the sanc tuary windows were noticed" by Jo seph Biesler, a boy of the school, who Immediately notified Mrs. A. M. Scoggin, the housekeeper. With rare presence of mind she had the church bell rung and Sister Mary Michael, the principal of the school. Immediately came, and rushing into the smoke and flames with great difficulty reached the altar and by tome superhuman efforts broke open the door of the tabernacle and under her veil carried the sacred vessels and clborlum with the Blessed Sac rament to the pastoral residence, where the children knelt and prayed, reciting the blessed Rosary while the town was excited at the prospect of a greater, blaze.. The congregation ' of St. Leo's is a small and poor one, end now must face a work which can not be done without assistance from friends outside. ' , The Courier-Journal, In lts :, ac count of the fire, thus describes the heroic act of Sister Mary Michael, whose feat and escape " from - the flames was almost miraculous: "Sis ter Mary Michael, who Is in charge of the parochial school adjoining the church, rescued the chalice contain ing the Blessed Sacrament of the EuchartBt. She rushed Into the church through a cloud of smoke and broke open the tabernacle with her bare hands, after pupils of the school had entreated her not to risk her life, many of them clinging to ' her robes In an effort to deter her She emerged uninjured though flushed from the heat and excite ment, the golden trophy of her .bravery clasped In ber arms." When the Are alarm was sounded the No. 3 hook and ladder. No. li Engine Company and No. 16 hose reel made the run. When the fire men arrived Sister Mary Michael was In charge of the volunteers, and through her efforts the church prob ably was saved from destruction. It is a frame building and was erected In 1806 at a cost of $5,000. The pipe organ and other contents are expensive and little of . the effect In the rear of the edifice escaped a scorching. Firemen were loud in their praises of the work of the Sis ters, the pupils and the citizens, whose foresight and prompt action saved the church from destruction. Rev. Father J. J. Fitzgerald, pas tor of St. Leo's, who had been out of the hospital little more than a week, was on a Second-street car In Louisville on his way to H Uhlan J Park when he learned of the fire and was almost prostrated. The key to the tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament was in his pocket. He arrived fatigued on the scene after the fire had been extinguished and was cared for by parishioners. Many handsome presents received bv him on the occasion two years ago of his silver jubilee as rector wens either damaged or destroyed. Vest ments made and painted at a con vent In Ireland were among those ruined. After the excitement a service of gratitude for the rescue of the Blessed Sacrament was held by the pupils and Sister Mary Michael, who recited the Rosary. CHCRCH BENEFIT.

OranKe Attempt to Overthrow the Nationalist a Signal Failure. Attention of World Concentrated on Final Meetings of tlie Cabinet. REDMOND HOLDS THE FIELD The attention of the whole world Is concentrated on the final meetings of the Cabinet Just before the open ing of Parliament. These sessions always excite much interest, for they utter the official word with regard to the legislative bill of fare to be laid before the House of Commons. This year public Interest Is enor mously Increased by the knowledge that behind the closed doors In Downing street considerable diver gence of opinion exists respecting naval estimates. It is conceivable that big Issues may arise which might decide the whole fate of the Ministry, but no such difficulties are anticipated at present. Indeed It Is more than likely that no trouble will arise this year, though far reaching differences exist. Meantime the newspapers report every move ment of the Ministers with almost laughable detail. The relations which are moet scrutinized are those be tween Lloyd-George and Churchill, J for the Tory newspapers still Insist that this Cabinet crisis malnjy repre sents a struggle 'to the death, be tween these two powerful person alties, but even the Tory newspapers have found out that, as T. P. O'Con nor has always Insisted, the personal relations between the two men 're main as cordial an ever and after each meeting of the Cabinet , they take tea together, either at, Lloyd- George's house In Downing street or at Churchill e palace. . . Nevertheless Lloyd-George is bound to InHlat on some reduction of Churchill's naval programme. Inci dents this week have demonstrated more clearly than ever the wlde- spread )M&,AimcatLt tMlil-t,mi.; 'hurchlll. Good party speakers and tralght party journals on the Lib eral side now shout - aloud what hitherto had been only whispered and the tide Is running fast against the Admiralty Lord and also against the Ministry unless they control Churchill.

Mr. O'Connor remains therefore still firmly as ever convinced that s formula will be found which will give Ireland home rule and simu taneously build the golden bridge of retreat for Carson from his Im possible position. ' Meantime recent events raise Irish hopes to a higher point than ever. Recent municipal results in Ireland have produced results so remarkable that William O'Brien again felt compelled to offer to resign his seat In consequence of the complete over throw of his candidates In the city of Cork, but Redmond refuses a content at this juncture and O'Brien's approval of this attitude Is interesting. Iu Ulster municipal results were even more remarkable. For the first time for centuries the Orange town of Knnisklllen has given a Na tionalist majority, while in Armagh, recently the scene of one of Car son's most spectacular demonstra tions, the Orange attempt to over throw the Nutlonalibt majority slg- nally failed. Enthusiastic Nationalist demonstrations take place all over the country and subscriptions every week add another "thousand pounds to what already Is a record sub scription. RECENT DEATHS.

VISIT THE rOPE. Pope Plus X. last Saturday gave a long audience to two American priests, the Rev. Thomas D. Beaven, Bishop of Springfield, Mass., and the Rev. A. A. Cyran, of Webster, Mass. His Holiness tried for a time to con verse In French, but was compelled to revert to Latin, In which he ex pressed his regret at his lack of linguistics ability. The Bishop after ward said that the Pope was In ex cellent spirits and mentally alert, but that he did not seem- able to endure much physical exertion. FROM HOME. According to the Associated Press it is reported In Home that Cardinal Merry del Val probably will be ap pointed Chamberlain of the church, an office which has been vacant since the death of Cardinal Ruiu polla. It Is one of the highest posi tions In the church, as during Interregnum the Chamberlain directs the government of the church. HOLY NAME. Society That lias Approbation of the Highest Keclenlastiral Authorities. Requirements For the Enjoy ments of Its Numerous Spirit ual Advantages. Very Itev. Charles II. McKenna Known Here as Its Apostle. INDULGENCES MAY BE GAINED For some time past in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati. St Louis, New Orleans, in fact all the principal cities of the country, much attention has been attracted to the society In the Catholic church known as the Holy Name Society, which has received the approbation of Pope nus x. and the American Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops and clergy. It. was first rounded In Louisville at St. Louis Bertrand's church, and since has been organized In other congregations. The Holy Name Society Is the same as the Holy Name Confra ternlty, and In order that its mem bers may enjoy all the spiritual ad vantages of the confraternity certain things are required. First is the consent of the Ordinary of the dio cese. Where this consent is given is the earnest desire that the Holy Name Society be established in all the parishes of the diocese, and that all members become active Holy Name men active In the sense of practical Catholicity. The second requirement is a diploma authorizing the canonical establishment of the society must come from the Master General of the Dominicans. And as the Manual of the Holy Name Society says, "No society is really, that is validly, erected without said diploma." The Master General of the Dominican order has noted with greatest pleas ure the rapid growth of the Holy Name Society In the ynlted States; he realized the Inconvenience of every pastor sending to Rome for the diploma, and therefore instructed- the ProviHc4al-of -the-' order In this country to Issue the diplomas for him. The third requisite is a register of names. The directors of the Holy Name Society must keep this register. The prefects of the society may have their own lists of names, but there must be a regular "Holy Name Register." The director may inscribe the name himself. But anyone can do this provided the di rector affix his name to each page. This may seem to some a useless proceeding, but nevertheless It is to be done. Our own opinions In the matter should always take a second place when It means the spirltua1 advancement of the faithful. It Is well, It Is most comforting, most edifying that our men go to the sacraments regularly and frequently; but we should make every effor possible to further the spiritual life of our men and boys. One of the great means for the advancement of souls Is the gaining of indulgences. On this matter of indulgences let us take a paragraph from "The Treasures of the Rosary." by the Very Rev. Charles H. Mc Kenna. O. P.. P. C, known In this country as "The Apostle of the Holy Name." It gives us one of the greatest reasons why we should gain as many Indulgences as possible. He says: "In the tribunal of confes sion, after the penitent makes hlj self-accusation, the priest Imposes on him what is called a penance- certain prayers to be said or certain good acts to be performed. This penance Is intended to satisfy in some measure the justice of God offended by the sins confessed. But we have reason to fear that these slight pen ances are tar from being adequate to satisfy God for the many blasphemies and other sins which have, been confessed. When the priest has reason to fear that the penances he gives are not adequate, why. it may be asked, does he not impose heavier penances long fasts on bread and water, such as were Imposed by the church In early ages, and known as canonical pen ances? The answer Is, that no priest can give adequate penance, since only God knows the malice and enormity of sin. Again we fear that many would be unwilling to perform today those rigorous pen ances that were In early days im posed by the church. Yet while she changes ber discipline, her doctrine does uot change. As a loving mother she now opens to us the Infinite treasure of her Indulgences, begging us through them to satisfy the Jus tice of God for our trangressions. Would to God that all poor sinners realized the tender solicitude of the church and the necessity and advan tages or the spiritual riches she offers for our acceptance!" A glance at the list of Indulgences, plenary and partial, given in the "Manual of the Holy Name Society," will en courage any man who has the in terest of his own soul at heart. On November 4, 1909, His Holiness Pluu X. granted certain Indulgences to the Holy Name men of the I'nlteil States: A pleuary Indulgence to all who have confessed and received holy communion and take part In the floly Name rallies, wearing the official button or bud(; an In dulgence of 300 days may be gained once a day by all members of the Holy Name Society who regularly but visibly wear the official Holy Name emblem while they are in any public place, provided they say once a day: "Blessed be the Name of the Lord."

SEGREGATION (Juration Now l'p to Members of the Present General C'oimrll. (oil mil in h n McDermottOn Trail of Committee Wlio Have Ordinance. Representative Barrett Ilusy HYpnotizIng Country Leg islators. BULL MOOSE WEEKLY HOLLER Councilman M. J. McDermott, of the -Ninth ward, again opened the question of segregation of our negro population when at the meeting of the lower board of the General Coun cil on Tuesday evening he asked for a report on the ordinance which had been Introduced and referred to a committee some time previous, but who have not as yet reported. Since the recent publication in the Ken tucky Irish American many queries have been received as to the delay on this proposed measure, and the preesnt General Council ts expected to reply favorably to public opinion by passing on It In the near future. Not satisfied with their usurpation of white men's homes on West Chestnut, West Walnut and other streets of prominence, the negroes now have organized to secure' equal privileges in the local theaters, their equal privileges to finally re Jult in control, as white people would be forced to vacate, as In the- residence question. They have de manded the right to sit In the bal cony at all of the theaters, same entrance as the whites, and boycotted the National and Kelth Theaters because they were compelled to use the gallery and gallery entrances, and have stationed some of their number to keep track of negroes that -patronize these houses. This question of whether we are to have racial equality is directly up to the members of the present General Council and the white public Is anx iously awaiting their decision. Repreesntative George B. Barrett obtained fame and headlines In the daily press this past week by intro duces "boxing bill" at Frankfort, wnicn wouia legalize ten round bouts, and" Is" an exact duplicate of the Frawley law which Is now in operation in New York. Hard sled ding Is predicted for the bill, espe cially from the country solons, who lay awake at night planning reforms for the wicked cities in liquor legis lation, etc., but it ts significant that this very class are the ones who set the pace for even our hardened rounders when they themselves come to see the sights. However, the persuasive and eloquent statesman from the First ward may be able to convert them to his athletic point of new. Another bill Introduced which is causing much discussion is that of Representative Adam Spahn, which teeks to limit the employment of women and girls to eight hours a day, which ts heartily opposed by manufacturers and employes alike. the latter's opposition coming from the fact that where they work pos iibly eight and a half or nine hours the first five days of the week they re given a half holiday on Satur days.
