EX-MAYOR O'NEIL'8 LECTURE.
He Spoke- Upon the Catholic Church
In the United States.
Ex-Mayor James J. O'Nell, of Car
bondalc, gave a most brilliant nnd In
terestlng lectin.! laet night before the
Catholic Hlslnile.il society on "The
Catholic Church In the History of the
United States."
He traced In n comprehensive man
ner tho history of the Catholic church
In thin country fiom Its very begin
ning to tho present time. The Cntho
He religion was brought to the United
States by Columbus, he sutd, while
Luther was ns yet unborn and while
Henry VIII was jet a child. He told
Intel estlngly of the FTem-lt Jesuits
who cntne shortly afterwords and of
the founding of the Maryland colony
by the Hngllsh Lord Hnltlmore. He
ulso traced the Influence wblch the
Catholic religion has had upon the llt
oratutc of this country.
Another Interesting feature of the
evening was u paper rend by Miss
Mary A. N'lland on the poetry of
Oeotge H. .Miles, a Catholic poet nnd
dramatist, whose literary xvoiks hnve
been allowed to sink Into obscurity.
He was boin In Haltlmore In 1824 nnd
lived In that city during the larger
part of his life.
"It Is sad to contemplate the popu
larity of the ephemeral literature of
the day," paid she, "when such en
during nnd sterling works ns those of
Oeorg" II. Miles ate unknown even
by the nmjoilty of Catholics While
his style does not possess the majestic
grandeur and elabotate nnlh of the
great mastoid whose productions have
withstood the severe criticism of ages
and still Htand as tho highest models
of poetic excellence, let us hope In
the (omlng ears an enlightened pub
lic will ucooid to him the high place
In the world of letters which his works
deserve."
EIGHTY CENT GAS RATE.
Common councilman Keller Will In
sist on nn Amendment to
Gnu Franchise Ordinance.
Common Coiincllin.in Luther Keller
will lend the fight in rnmmon council
fni an amendment to the gas fran
i'lise nskd by the Consumers' ijns
company llxlng and establishing a
maximum price to lv charged for gas
by the coinpan. This Is, of eontse.
It Ihi ordlnniiie oxer passes select
council, the ludhlaiv committee of
which bndv will ioport faxoinbly upon
It tomotiow night.
In speaking about the franchise to
.1 Tilbune man yesterdny afternoon,
Mr. Keller said: "That finnehlse will
not be granted. If I can help It. un
less mi amendment Is adopted living
the maximum price to be chained at
ciplilv rents pel thousand let for
lighting pin poses. To ginnt the fran
clibe without this provision would
moan that the ilty would not benefit
one iota bv the transaction.
"llv placing the maximum price at
eighty cents a thousand, wo would
icliioc to a xery gieat extent tho pus
slblllly of tin- picscut conipnnv buy
ing the new one out. A frnnehfse w.is
gi anted a new gas company in
Wilkes-Mane leeeittlv without any
price testrlctlnns and It was only
eighteen months beloie the old com
pany gobbled it up.
"We do not want to have the slicols.
of our city toin up unless ho can be
assured that the cltbens of the city
will be benetltted by receiving cheaper
gas than they ate at present getting."
A MYSTERY.

Astonishing Occurrence Passers

' Whv did til" lire skip that one
