Show Italians Need a Little Irish. If the Italian Catholics in Italy had a little of the Irish spirit, says The Freeman's Journal, we would hear less of the ruffianism of the anti-clericals. A good illustration is related in one of the trans-Atlantic papers. The Catholic Cath-olic Times. The reople of Tivoli were celebrating the feast of their patroness St. Symphorosa. They had fireworks in the evening. The students of the Irish college meant to witness them.and returning home to the college villa aft erwards for their country' villa where they pass the holidays is outside the town they were a.ttacked by some Socialists. So-cialists. Those cowards thought they were dealing with Italian seminarists. They Foon found their mistake. The Irish students stood and did not let themselves be knocked down without knowing why. The result o about two minutes' attack and defense was that the cowards ran except one. who had to be taken to the hospital, and is probably still there. |
