A. GUEST OF HONOR AT LUNCHEON CARDINAL GIBBONS. Catholics and Protestants at Reception to Cardinal. THRONG GREETS PRELATE St. Patrick's Church Crowded at the Services Yesterday.

DISCOURSE BY REV. DR. PACE Dinner Follows, at Which Addresses Are Made by Speaker Cannon and Others. day" was celebrated at St. Patrick's Church yesterday, when Cardinal Gibbons received a tribute which was both international and interdenominational Diplomats representing foreign nation stood beside men high in the affairs of this republic and by their presence wished the primate of the Roman C'atho'ic Church in America long life and continued usefulness.

Services wore first held in the church, in which was a great tinong. Later the cardinal held a reception in the rectory, when hundreds of Protestants, as well Catholics, passed liijf he lore him and shook his hand in friendly greeting. Following the reception Dr. Itussell. pastor of St.

Patrick's Church. gave a dinner, with the cardinal guest honor. Tfie mass was celebrated by Rev. John priests from the i C'atho'ic I nivcrsit assisting. The eardiI nal came into the crowded editiee aci-oin! panied I Russell and was attended by the usual procession, walked ri'ctly to the altar and was seated zteath a canopy of red.

Sermon by Rev. Dr. Pace. Kev. Pace of the Catholic I'niverI sity delivered the sermon and in the course of his opening remarks called attention to the great success which has come to this nation during the past year.

"Progress," lie said, "is the watchword of the world. Its true meaning includes more than the material. Only as material developments are turned into power for betterment religious, moral I and social lines can it be called an advance. and the prosperity which has come I i to the entire world, and to this country! espe. makes it even necessary i I that the people more clearly realize the sense of duty and responsibility which I is theirs.

"If this of duty and absolute oh- I servance of law is in the hearts and i minds of the people, then have their inj dividual efforts toward the betterment pf I the nation reverted to them. Hope in the Future. customary proper at the heginning of a new year to look forward with hope grounded on the progress of the past. The progress made this year in material things is great indeed, but we must remember that all such progress has been the result of the labor of painstaking investigators. We speak of the conquest of nature, but whatever prosperity, whatever progress ere has been is not due to the conquest of nature, but to the study of the forces of nature and conformity to nature's I hen- cau be no advance in materia! tilings without obedience to law.

Iiiat is a necessary condition of progress. What is true iu a material order Is equal. true moral order. I lie the individual in the moral or.h i depends absolutely upon his I obedience to law: therefore," when we i coine to measure our progress during this p.isi year, or any other year. answer will depend upon response that otber question, Have wo grown respect and obedience to law? The I same truth holds in the civil an.l social order of the nation.

The progress of this country is just In proportion to the nation's regard for I au oltedience to law, its concern for the observance of law. and in that national progress, therefore, we have, or should have, our share. No Abstract Observance. i "It is a mistake to think that somehow the law is of itself going to be observed, There is no such thing as abstract obj servance of law. A nation respects and obeys its laws when the individuals tjiat it respect and obey its laws.

'I his oltedience to recognized authority and law is the lesson which our Divine taught us in eighteen years of llis life, the period of which the Gospel us nothing more than this: 'He went down to Nazareth and was subject to subject p. uo of His creatures "a their crciilbr: lie held their very sou is iii (lie palm of His hands, yet 'lie was subject to In conclusion Dr. Pace said: is a blessing when a nation can point 10 its chief representative and authority as setting: the example of conspicuous regard for an obedience to law. It is a principle of Catholic theology that iier chief pastors should show those committed to their charge by their lives the meaning of obedience. and it is titling that we should pay honor to one who is known not only in this country, but throughout tho world, as a prince of th; Catholic an ideal American citizen and upholder, defender and nbscrvi the his; country and his church." Cardinal's Remarks.

As Pace concluded he turned and took his seat in the. sanctuary and Cardinal Gibbons came forward. The prelate stood for a moment in his solemn robes of ofiice as if apparently delivering a silent blessing to the great audience. Then he wished every one a happy New Year. Continuing, he referred to the government of the American nation and declared tjiat every Catholic v.

ho loves his church must love the government under which it is prospering. An elaborate musical program was rendered by the sanctuary choir after the sermon. "Hark, Ha k. My Soul" was sung as ttie process'onal. The mixed choir sang Beethoven's "Credo" in and after the communion "Faith of Our Fathers" was sung as tlie recessional.

At the reception later Father McGuigan, the assistant clergyman of St. Patrick's, presented the guests to the prelate. Dr. Russell also greeted leach one. Speaker Cannon Makes Address.

Speaker Cannon of the House of Representatives made a short address at the dinner, in which he wished the Cardinal loO years of life, and when he rounds the century mark, the speaker said, he wants to meet and congratulate him. lie said "oirr.s is a Christian civilization and the mother church and her protectant children have prospered in the republic as they have never prospered before." I He said he believes no churchman in tiie i republic has contributed more to its well being than has Cardinal Gibbons. "1 am not a member of any church." continued the Speaker, "but I do not boasa of it. It is perhaps my misfortune, your eminence, and 1 have lived beyond the scriptural three score and ten years, but despite all the talk of demagogy we can that lar from growing worse the people of this country a re growing better, "You are occupying the highest position i in a church which in membership by far outnumbers any in this country, and I am happy to pay tribute to that church which you so well represent as one of the greatest forces of order and civilization." i The Italian ambassador, the Austrian ambassador, the minister from Spain, Mr. Justice White of the L'nited States Supreme Court.

Commissioner West and Senator Taylor of Tennessee also delivered short addresses. Senator Taylor said, in alluding to the cardinal, "the unmeltlng snows of years 1 are full on his head, but there is no show in his it is all summer." List of the Guests.

HIGHER GRADE OF CLERKS First Assistant Postmaster General i Compliments Force.

REVIEW OF. POSTAL SERVICE i Advocates Annual Leave Period for Employes of First and Second Class Offices. 1 Tic automatic annuu! promotion post office tprks and letter carriers on evidence I 1 satisfactory and efficient service, which was provided for by law. and went into I effect Julj I. 1007, and a uniform system of recording the efficiency of postal em- ployes, according' to tlie annual report of First Assistant Postmaster General Charles Grandfield, which has just been issued, have unquestionably resultel in securing a much higher degree of efficiency in the clerical and carrier forces.

Xotwithstanding the vast, volume oi business handled during the last siscal year, the report recites, the department tound it necessary to allow a net increase of but 2.0&7 post office clerks and city carriers, as against 4,053 which it had to allow for the preceding year. Dr. Graiidfield contends for thirty days' leave of absence during the year for clerks and carriers at first and second class post offices. Ho estimates an appropriation of $500,000 more for substi? tutes would enable the department to give the carriers a thirty days' vacation. I and SI (kmmm) would provide for a similar leave lor the post office clerks.

Provision for the Veterans. "Good administration and humanity." the report states, "alike demand that some provision be made to care for the veterans of the service who are overtaken by old age or disability," The report covers a great deal of ground and goes into the details of operating post office mail service. It recites that a total of 705, KOO was paid for i presidential postmasters' salaries during! i the year: for clerk hire, and for letter carriers. including substitute, auxiliary and temporary letter carriers. Under the President's order of November 30, UJON placing postmasters at fourth class offices in states east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers within the classified civil service, the number of postmasters appointed upon certification by the civil serviefc commission prior to October 1, 1909, was 529, and 78 post offices had to be discontinued because of the inability of the commission to certify eligibles for appointment as postmaster.

Indemnity Plan Approved. In lieu of the present plan of requiring personal and surety bonds of postal employes to make good to the government losses that occur through defalcation of officers and employes the report recommends, as last year, the plan of collecting a fund from the postal employes to indemnify the government and the public a finest loss as so much simpler and with many advantages. Tho report states the department is endeavoring to bring about uniformity in the matter of hours of service of clerks in post offices, and also to devise a plan whereby fine day of rest In the week will be allowed those employes who are compelled to work all flay Sunday. While it is not possible, the report states, to fix an absolute eight-hour schedule for tho clerks, as for the carriers, without increasing the allowance for clerk hire in offices far In excess of the needs, yet by allowing clerks brief periods off duty when the mails are light it is possible, in a measure, to compensate them tor the extra time put in when the mails are heavy, especially at the holiday season. Mail Receptacles Necessary.

The report contains a recommendation that a law be passed forbidding, after December 31. 1010, the delivery of mail by city carriers except at residences and offices where approved mail receptacles are provided at tiie door or entrance. It is declared that where automobiles have been provided for the collection of the mails, as in this city, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Boston, better results arcobtained than with horse-drawn vehicles, later night collodions and tin- covering of wider territory being possible, although such service is found to be more expensive. Kvening deliveries of mail by letter carriers, the report states, have not proved popular. Presidential postmasters to the number of LOiNi were appointed during the year.

1,007 of which were reappointments7. Of the reappointments 380 we made upon the advancement of post offices from the fourth class to the presidential class, 105 upon the expiration of recess commissions, upon change of name of the post and 1 upon tlie change of the postmaster's name by marriage. Appointments of Postmasters. There were 529 new appointments, 104 of! which were at offices where the postmas- ter's commission had expired. 09 at ofli est advanced to the presidential class.

1 where postmasters had resigned, where postmasters had died and where they had been removed for cause. delivery service was extended during the year to 11:: additional post offices and three delivery were consolidated. There were 27,020 letter carriers emplovert during the year, pieces 'of mail bearing special delivory postage delivered and paid postmasters and postaj employes as fees for making special deliveries. The report contains a large number of tables illustrating the statements made in the text. LAUREL AND VICINITY, 4 SiX'fial Correspondence of The Star.

Alison's Story. She tolrl her story evenly, with lier eyes on 10 water, only now and then, wln-n too, sat looking seaward. 1 thought she glanced at me furtively. And once, in the middle of it, slie stopped alio- gether. "You dbn't realize it.

"I will turn my back, if it will help i any," I said, stormilv, "but if you ex-! pect ine to look anything but murderous, why, you don't know what I am going through with. That's all." The story of her meeting with the Curtis woman was brief enough. They had met in Home tirst, where Alison and her mother had taken a villa for a year. Mrs.

Curtis had hovered on the ragged edges of society there, pleading the poverty of the south since the war as reason for not going out more. There was talk of a brother, but Alison had not seen him. and after a scandal which implicated Mrs. Curtis and a young attache of the Austrian embassy Alison had been forbidden to see the woman. "The woman had never liked her, anyhow." she 1 id.

"She did unconventional things, and tluy are very conventional there. And tii(V said did not always, pav gambling debts. 1 didn't i like them. I thought they didn't like her; because she was popular.

I was alternately a boor and a a hurt youngster who passes the blow that has hurt him on to Ids playmate, that both may bawl to1 get her. And now Alison sat, white and, cold, without speeeh. "Married!" she said, finally, in a small Voice.

"Why. I don't think it is possible, I is it? I--1 was on my way to Baltimore to marry liiin myself when the wreck1 came." "But you said you didn't care for him! I protested, my heavy masculine mind unable to jump the gaps in her story. And then, without the slightest warning, I realized that she was crying. She shook off my hand and fumbled for her handkerchief. and failing to tind it, she accepted the one I thrust into her wet fingers.

Then, little bv little, she told me from the handkerchief, a sordid story of a motor trip in the mount tins without Mrs. Curtis, of a lost road and a broken car. and a rainy night, when and Sullivan, tramped eternally and did not get home.
