Another asked a Russian at Cattaro to Intercede with Prince Nich olas for his release from prison. "But you are not In prison," said the Rus sian.

O'Reilly, aud the uuveiliug of a tablet to bis memory, which took place yesterday, are ovents which will linger for many years in the hearts and the memory of the parishioners ol • St. Joseph's Catholic church. The capacious auditorium of the church was filled, even the gallery,be iug crowded. The services were most impressive. The divine office began at 9a. m., the Rt. Rv. Bishop Shauahau, presid ing. Iu addition to the bishop and the Very Kev. G. O. Benton, Vicar Gen eral, of Steeltou, the following neigh boring ciergymeu were present : Rev. Father Murphy, of BloomBburg: Rev.

P., an ab- ; breviation for the latiu : "Requieß oat iu Pace" (May He Rest iu Peace), j The Rev. Father Edward O'Reilly, of Waverly, N. Y., brother of the late j pastor of St. Joseph's church,the Rev. j Rev. M. I. O'Reilly, who was to have celebrated the solemn requiem mass, j was unable to be present by reason of illness. Iu bis absence the Rev. Fath er MoCann, present pastor of St. Jos eph's, celerbtaed the solemn requiem mass., At the conclusion cf the mass the eulogy was pronounced by the Rev. Father M. C. Donovan, of Philadel phia a former resident of Danville i and a life-long friend of the Rev. Fa j ther O'Reilly's. The sermon was a I noble tribute, founded on the 17th i verse, sth chapter of St. Paul's first epistle to Timothy: "Let the priests that rule well be esteemed worthy of double houor, especially they who lab or in the word aud doctrine." With deep feeling the speaker re ! verted lio the death of Father O'Reilly i which ooenrred one year ago, empha sizing the extent to which it was de ploreei, not only by the bishop, who regardeel him as one of the ablest and roost devoted priests in the diocese, but also by his fellow priests ou whom he reflected so much credit aud honor, aud the parishioners of St. Joseph's, S who always had in Father O'Reilly a i sympathizing friend and counsellor to | whom they could turn in times of | trouble aud'sorrow for help and cou ! solation. In the commnnity wheie he I stood exceptionally high as a model ! and foremost citizen his death was <le- I plored anil his memory was honored. ■ It is well, the speaker satd, [to com ! memorate the life and services of such i a man .-is Father O'Reilly, I hat those j who come after may be reminded of his exalted character, his pure devo | tion and blameless life. Let the priestß ' who do well be esteemed wcrthy of suedi houor, for while bishops and prießts pasß away their works and self denial live. The Catholic churoh is ever solicitous for the honor of her priests, living aud dead. Jesas Christ exercised his ministry for only three years and in a narrow boundary, but ills gospel was to be preached to the whole world, in all ages. To accomplish thin lie establish | ed his cbnrcli aud selected his apostles, i "As the Father sent me so I send you" I —"Go and teach all nations." Through the Christian priesthood : the teachings of Christ have been per ! petuated to our day aud thus they will 1 ba carrrieel forward in the future. The I Catholic priest, the speaker continn j ed, through the doctrine he preaches ivs the salt of the earth aud the light j of tiie world. The truth he teaches has I come down through twenty centuries ' of time from the savior of the world. 1 If all would listen to the teachings of the priests of the Catholic church wo would have a better world. There wouhl be no suicides, divorces, mur ders aud the other forms of crime that are so common today. The Catholic priest feeds the flocks of Christ with ; the bread of life. Ho stands at the betl side of the dying, consoles the mourn er anel reconciles the eiepartiug soul. The speaker dwelt with great emp basis ou the high diguity aud the aw ful icspousibility of the priestly call ; ing. Father O'Reilly, he said, bore these with honor ami humility to his [ dying day. For twenty-nine years he was brought into close contact with the world, but he was never sullied by i it. He handed down his priestly vest ments as untarnished as they were on •, the day when he received them from the bishop. The speaker followed the career of Father O'Reilly as he was transferred from one post to another until he WBB sent to Danville. Here he labored near ly twenty years As to the wisdom of Hishop McGovern's appointment the people of St. Joseph 's church bear ample testimony. Daring the twenty years nothing was taught from the I iiltir tore but lessous of highest wis j doui. tie preached «s eloquently by I his actions and examples as by Ins | woM*. lie never asked a sacrifice of | liiH people when he did uot make one I himself greater tliau they. The fiuan i cial affairs of the parish at his death buie I stimony to wise aud efficient a I m in i st rat ion. Father Donovan alluded to the est ablishment of the new cemetery, the building of the preseut rectory aud other thing* accomplished by Father: O'Reilly, but he declared that his crowning work iu this parish was the | esttblismnent »112 I'm parochial school. | No parish, the speaker said, is corn- j plete without a parochial sc'iool. j Catholics so highly prize the gift of ; aitli ti at for this they make sacrifices 1 beyond all others. Tiny pay the school | tax and without ant assistance main- , tain their parish school. Father O'Reilly did not accomplisli his work without trials aud difficul ties and herein, tl t -peaker said, lies I a lesson to other pru-ti. Father O'-| ; Reilly through faith iu God removed ] all (I iHii ul' ie>. His 11 iaU aud his sacri ! tics weie many and tluy are the I ! brightest stars in Ins crowu today, j In conclusion Father Donovau eloqu- } lently remarked: "The highest honor that we can pav to the memoiv of Fa- j tlier O'Reilly is tu show forth in I Catholic lives the purity, tho devo tion,tne ready obedience aud the loyal , support to God, which he inculcated | by his teaching aud example. 1 ' A Moqul Repartee. A certain commissioner was given to J treating the Indians with a scorn they did not deserve.

Then | t he concluded by remarking that it was not until the medicine man made an offering of a silver locust to the Great Spirit that the creatures disappeared, and this they did swiftly and sudden ly. Loudly the commissioner laughed the superstitious Indian to scorn. "Do you mean to say you're such fools as to believe that rubbish?" he asked. "Not much," replied the chief grave ly, "or we would have offered the 1 Great Spirit a silver paleface long ago!"— Philadelphia Telegraph. Heroic Husbands- Rome women were discussing over their afternoon tea the statement that , a man is no more a hero to his wife than to his valet.

A Regimental Custom. ! A peculiar custom obtains in the | Twelth lancers—the playing of the I Vesper hymn, the Spanish chant and | the Rnssian national hymn every night of the year after the "last post" has sounded.

The Fair local option bill was de feated on second reading last evening by the houee of representatives, 66 to 137, a majority against the nieaßore of sevent>-one. Last night's defeat came at the conclusion of a three-hour de bate, which would have lasted couaid erably longer had not the members, tire.l and impatient, howled down the meu who tried to talk after 10 ::t<> o'clock ; in this process of elimination tliu visitors, whose name whs legion, assisteo materially. WILL NOT RECONSIDER IT. The defeat is deoisive. R. Willis Fair, of Westmoreland, who fathered the bill after it had been drafted by ihrt Anti-Saloon league, said after ad jouruuieut that no attempt will be uiaile to reconsider the vote by which It was defeated. It is known,however, that the Anti-Saloon league will im mediately form its linns of battle for the primaries anil geueral election next year. The vote of s;xty-six in favor of the bill last night was thirty votes less than were cast in 1907 to place the j Graven bill on the calendar, wlieu only eight yaes were ueeded. The difference is accounted for largely by the fact that mauy members of the house of 1907 are not members of the prefect house aud by the fact that gome of those who voted aye two years ago took a positive stand upou the oppos ite side when confronted with the question of enacting the law. RECORD-BREAKING CROWD. No greater crowd ever visited the capitol,except on dedication day more | than two years ago, than flocked to i the hill for the debate, aud everyoue's I interest was luld until the vote was annonuced. Speaker Cox's gavel fell at 8:05, when spectators were literally hauging on like flies, a number of them having climbed to window recee | ses and made themselves as comfort able as possible there for the session. ! The majority of the people in the hall j were men. Mr. Fair conceded that the | bill had been treated with considera > tiou by the leaders of the house. AM MERMAN SPEAKS. | The debate was opened by Prof. H'air aud numerous addresses were 1 made first for one side and then for the other. Under the alternating agree j ineut, R. Scott Amuiermau, of Mon tour, took the fluor—the first Demo jcratio speaker of the eveuing. No | more eloquent speaker sits in the house j t liaii the Danville lawyer and, while I lie advanced no uuique argument, his appeal was one of the most entertain ing and convincing of the evening. He argued,mainly that electors should be allowed to vote upon the license [ question just as they vote for officers or npoti other public questions, i j CAREFUL IN VOTING. ! At the close of the debate a roll call ' was demanded by George .T, Schad and seconded by Professor Fair. At the ! suggestion of Speaker Cox each man rose In his place at the call and voted. The voting was extremely slow and ' methodical in order to eliminate op -1 portunity for error, and at the conclu- I slon Flyuu, of Elk,called for a voiifio ! ation of the roll.
