LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Month OF June in Catholic
Churches


EDITORS APPEAL-Bright, sunny June,
us in its train two lovely feasts of our divine
Sacred Heart. Both were established at the
church, who reserved for these latter ages
arouse the torpor of the faithful and to excite
them to the love of our divine Master. AS
suredly, in times like ours, nothing can be
better calculated to effect this holy purpose
of our holy church than tender devotion to
the loving and compassionate heart of Jesus.
The devout clients of this Sacred Heart will,
no doubt, be gratlhed to learn that in our
city, at st. Mary's church, corner of Third
and Market streets, an opportunity will be
given them of testfying their love for this
adorable Heart by participating In a Novena
of supplication, as well as reparation, which
is to begin on next Thursday, June Goth, the
feast of Corpus Christi, and ending on Fri
day, June 28th the feast of the Sacred Heart.
The order of exercises will be as follows:
High mass before the blessed sacrament every
morning at nine o'clock, except Sunday, when
it will be at ten; benedlction of the blessed
sacrament every evening at half-past seven
o'clock; procession with the blessed sacra-
ment is contemplated on Sunday after high
mass and Friday night, June 28th. 1t is
earnestly hoped that these devout exercises
will be well attended, as the people of this
city have every reason to assemble before the
altar humbly but fervently asking the Sacred
Heart of Jesus to save them from all conta-
gious diseases. No doubt they will prove to
all source of special grace and bened1ction.

RiCHTELS'S AIR-SHIP.
Successful Experiments DemOnstra-
ting that the Problem Of Navisa-
ting the Air has been Worked
Out Mt Last-A Marvellous
Machine.

HARTFORD, CONN, June 12.-Three post
ponements, necessitated by heavy rains, had
indu ed the Hartford people to believe that
fate was making a dead set against Prof.
Richtels's determination to show that his
new flying machine was really capable of
aerial navigation. To-day was far from ia
vorable for an outdoor exhibition, yet it was
gwen. and with gratifying success. The
large assemblage that came to witness what
they fully believed would be only another
unsuccessful attempt to solve the problem of
navigating the air were pleasantly disap-
pointed. The machine not only rose in the
air, but moved backward and forward, up
ana down, at the option of the aeronaut, and
although embracing IN part the balloon
principle, the evolutions were accom-
plished without waste of gas in descend
ing or any use of ballast whatever.
The aeronaut worked the central pro-
peller of the machine with effect, and rose
over every obstace to the hight of one hum
dred feet. The breeze was blowing to the
eastward, and the exhibitor allowed his ma
chine to be carried with it for an eighth of a
mile, and amused himself by showing his
ability to ascend or descend at will. Then
the propeller at the pointed end of the frame
work was set In motion, and the machine
shifted its course, twisting and turning in
small circles. Still its general drift was to
the eastward, with the wind, and the specta-
tors freely expressed the opinion that its
powers were at an end, and that it could
never return against the wind, but at signal
from Prof. Richtels the machine was pointed
back toward the exhibition grounds. The
propeling wheel was started at top-speed, and
with accelerated motion the ship sailed along
back, at an altitude of one hundred feet, I'M
til it lowered over the exhibition grounds;
then, amid general applause, the central pro-
peller was set in motion, and under its inhu
ence the ship sank slowly and easily to the
earth, landing within half dozen rods from
the original starting point

Presbyterian Grammar and
High School,

The commencement exercises of this insti-
tuition took place at the Memphis Theater on
Friday night, June 14th. Ten young ladies
received the honors of graduation at the
hands of an able board of directors and
teachers. We are glad to say that they did
not fatigue the audience and unnerve them
selves by reading ten long essays, as is GUS
tomary on such occasions. The reading was
most creditably done several days since, in
the presence of the directors, together with
the relatives and friends of The graduates, in
a more private way.
most excellent and appropriate address
from Rev. DR.. Landrum, the comforting of
diplomas and medals by Rev. DR.. Boggs, ac-
companied by suitable musical and devotional
exercises. Thus the audience was dismissed
at a seasonable hour, and we trust that every
graduate of our noble school was that night
beguiled into the arms of ''balmy sleep" by
peaceful conscience and happy heart.
May the blessing and smiles OF reconclled
God attend every one of them evermore.
And those teachers! Joy to their weary
and careworn souls, that days of freedom and
nights of needed sleep may be allowed to
them for a little space. But how can we do
justice to the ability and untold labors of this
band of instructors?
Miss Higbee, the accomplished principal,
has reputation which queen might covet.
She is star of the first magnitude in her
profession. In regard to her chief assistants,
Misses Mary and Julette Cairns, too much
can hardly be said in praise of the great
fund of knowledge they possess and their
skill in imparting lt-not only to the bright
and precocious mind, but also to the dull and
faltering ones. There seems 10 be no end to
their patience and self-denying efforts for
those intrusted to their care. Many of our
daughters owe them debt VIII Oh can never
be paid.
Miss White, in the primary department;
MISS Stedman, in English branches and calls
themes; Mrs. Mishot, in French, and Mr..
Orville Yerger, jr., in Latin, are all compe-
tent, efficient, faithful teachers.
This is an Institution of which our city
ough! to be proud. While it seems to be
other institution of learning, they are sparing
no pains to make lis model school.

LAW AND HISTORY.
which Recalls Persons and Incl
dents i'm Memphis Fifty
threei Years Ago.

At the chancery court an old but curious
historical case is on hearing. 1t is styled
Francis Sylvia Darusmont as. Charles Pat
ton. The lady is the daughter of that re-
markable woman, Fanny Wright, of whom
an American cyclopedia has the fol!owin
notice: Fanny Wright Oarusmont), a social
reformer and phllanthroplst, born In Dundee,
Scotland, about 1876, died at Cincinnati,
Ohio, January 13, 1858. She was left an or
phan at the age of nine, and was indoctri-
mated by her guardian with ideas founded on
the philosophy of the French materialists.
Upon becoming of age, she undertook tour
of travel in the United States, which en-
braced period of three years, from 1918 to
1870. and of which she published an account,
entitled VtetcS on Society and Manners IN
America. Soon after appeared her FeD
Days in Athens, a defense of the epicurean
philosophy. In 1925 she returned to Amer
lea, and purchased two thousand acres of
land In Tennessee 1.-THE Neshoba tract), in
Guiding part of the present site of Memphis,
where she established a colony of emanci-
pated slaves, whose social condition she en-
deavored to elevate for the purpose of proving
the equality of the white and black races.
The experiment eventually failed, for reasons
never explained, and the negroes were sent to
Hayti. She then appeared as a public lee
turer IN the eastern States, where her attacks
upon negro slavery and other social institu-
tons attracted large and enthusiastic audi
ences, and led to the establishment of Fanny
Wright" societies. Her visits were subse
quently extended to tine principal cities of the
Union, but the enunciation of views similar
to those contained in her Fe,o Days in Athens
met with very decided opposition, and her
effo. is for the reformation of society proved
on the whole unsuccessful About 1888 she
was married In France to M. Darusmont,
whose system OF philosophy resembled her
own. but they separated after few years,
and Madame Darusmont, VINO continued TO
be known by the name of Fanny Wright, es-
tabllshed herself with her daughter mile.
Frances Sylvia Darusmont) in Cincinnati,
where she resided until her death. III health
and embarrassment, arising from a suit
brought by her husband to obtain possession
of her property, interfered with her public
labors as a lecturer, and the latter years of
her life were passed in retirement. The
property in this State, near this city, above
mentioned, is the subject of the present suit
in our chancery court. There are other suits,
branches of the above, also in court. As to
the merits of the present suit we are not adj
vised, but it is in the hands of the chancery
court to be disposed of according to the law
and the testimony.

indianapolis, 9 43; Providence, S.S9 and Mil
waukees, 1889. In batting they have this
order on average base hits in a game: Provi-
dence, loss; Bostons. 1888; Milwaukees,
9.67; Cincinnatis, 9.25; Chicagos, 9.25, and
Indianapolis, 9.67. In average runs to the
game the order Is: Bostons, 6.SS; Cincin
natis, 6.45; Providence. G. 3S: Milwaukees,
This order, however. by no means indicates
the order in won and lost games, which is
this: Cincinnatis, Bostons, Chicagos, In
dianapolls, Providence, and MIfwaukees.
Another noteworthy reduction Is the division
of the base hits by the runs, showing which
averages the most runs to the base-hits. The
figures attached show the average base-hits
made 10 produce a run: ClncInnatis, Al;
Bostons, l 50; Indianapolis, 1.63; PIovi-
dence, l Il; Milwaukees, PA; Chicagss,
80 One OF the reasons why the Cincin-
mats have thirty-four more runs than the
Milwaukees, although the latter led them on
base-hits by sixteen, is because the Cincin
natis have done better base-running and
done more sacrifice batting when it was nee
essary to work around runs. 1t is mainly the
Ciucinnatis and Bostons working together
their good Judgment In running bases and
their rIght-6eld batting when men are on
bases-that has won them so many games.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The only four men in the Cincinnati club
this year vino played in Cincinnati against
the Bostons last year are Pike, Jones, Sull-
van aud Mitchell. Pike and Jones played in
the six games, and Mitchell and Sullivan in
four. The last two made four base-hits each
Oft of Bond, while Pike got three and Jones
eight.
Kennedy, the third-baseman of the Louis
villes, has announced his intention to let up
on the game for the season, and this offers a
good opportunity for some good amateur
third baseman to step in and distinguish HIM
self. Any one desiring the position will have
his case considered by addressing letter to
W. E. Ryan, secretary Louisville club.
That was good joke Harry Wright had
played on him last Friday by Captain NJ 'Vey.
He took his Boston boys down to Providence,
SO that they might see Will White pitch and
pick up few points that might be of use 10
them. Judge of Harry's disgust when he
saw "Specky White sitting serenely among
the spectators and Mitchell in the pitchers
