Learn to swim.

| How very few persons understand the art
Of swimming-an accomplishment in itself,
| a pleasure, and means of preserving life.
Boys and even girls, are now very gener-
| ally taught to shoot. to ride, to dance, but
| the healthful and delightful exercise of dis
| porting in the refreshing waters of our
lakes and rivers comes to our young people
| mostly by lucky accident, if it comes at all
How many useful lives might have been
spared a dreadful fate on disastrous Friday
last by knowledge OF how to swim.
What dreadful sights would have been
averted. Men and women, driven by the
fierce flames of the burning boats from
their last perilous foothold, plunged into
the mighty stream and sank to rise no
more. Half paralyzed by fear, they knew
not how to maintain themselves even for
few brief but precious moments until
rescue could reach them. and with scarce
an effort for selfpreservation, went down
to their watery graves. The good swim
mer, even in SO terrible a crisis. would
have been weakened by no such fear of the
flood; confidence would have given strength,
anu Uuo huOWlcOSo puSsC6sCu luc
means of sustaining himself therein greatly
enlarged his chances of salvation. Such
instances of the value of this art are by far
and too sadly frequent to require further
notice.
Then let it be impressed upon heads of
families and managers of scholastic institu
tions, that they are neglecting something of
possibly vital Importance to their charges
by not instructing them how to swim.
Several abortive attempts to inaugurate
swimming schools in this city we hope may
not prevent other and more successful
efforts now. The authorities will give every
facility, we know, to any enterprise which
will tend in any degree to avert future hor
rors such AS we now mourn over.

honor that has been conferred upon us
by yOnr presence here this day. 1t
would be proper for me to make this
acknowledgment, and proper to say
something on this solemn and interesting
occasion which has been the cause of at
tracing within the walls of this venerable
cathedral such an august assemblage. but
regret to say that nv feeble strength for
bids it, and that l would be UNEQUAL to the
task, and besides, the ceremony has been
protracted and is not yet brought to close,
and would not dare to venture, even if /
could, to trespass on your patience. I will
content myself with asking from you on nv
own behalf your sympathy and your
prayers, and asking you to Join with
me first in giving heartfelt thanks to AL
mighty God, and after Him to our most
holy father, the chief pastor of the church,
and vlcegerent of Christ on earth for their
great and magnanimeus favor which has
been bestowed upon us, and for which we
nave endeavOred to show forth our graft
tnde IN the so'emnify of this day. We will
return thanks to God and thanks to our
holy father tor the honor conferred upon
US ail-eonferred first upon the venerable
hierarchy OF the church in all grades and
orders. and upon the Catholic people
not simply of this city or diocese,
but throughout the whole length and
breadth OF the land. and whose hearts on
tnis udy are made TO thrOb with JOY because
OF good tidings that have come to them, and
the exaltation and dignity to which the
Church OF America has been raised 1t gives
honor also. not only to the hierarchy and
Catholic people, but it was the intent and
purpose OF the holy father to give honor to
our whole country; to give honor and show
his deep respect and esteem for our great
and glorious republic, of which the
Catholic population form 80 essential
part, and who are so Loyalty devoted to
her institutions, and who, with Gods bless
ing, to strain their utmost efforts to
strengthen and to save her. and make her
glorious and prosperous forever. On this
day OF Thanksgiving we will join in heart
while we ask God to bless this country and
also to make this the dawn of happier
day for the holy father SO long deferred but
sure to come at last, and that he NAV live
to see the glory and salvation of his people

A man who burned kerosene in his house
very largely, as a matter of economy in
light, found that it increased his gas bill.
In justice to the gas company it is stated
that this was just previous to a declaration
of dividend, and the meter writers did not
know the experiment was being tried. 1t
was in one of the months when every house
holder is charged with gas for soirees or
sickness nightly. To prevent correspond
ence and contrmatory evidence it should be
stated that it is not known whether or not
a similar trial has been made in this city
with the same result.

Congressman Randall L. Gibson, having
at his disposal an appointment of cadet
to the West Point Military Academy, has
offered the same to all the eligible young
men in his district in this way. He will

whom all applicants will be referred, and
the boy who passes the most creditable

This is an excellent plan, and the successiuI
competitor will doubtless be an honor to
the Congressman and the State alike.
