What the Syllabus Really II.

We publish to-day the fifth letter of our
correspondent "A Roman Prelate" 1t
treats Of the Syllabus, which has formed the
subject OF SO much discussion, not only
among Catholics, but among the enemies OF
their Church. Our correspondent examines
the question as to how tar the Church, and
necessarily Leo XIIT.. is bound by the Syl-
labus. He has shown in preceding letter
that encyclicals are not general laws of the
Church. seeing that SO fur from being ad-
dressed directly to oil Christians they are
merely simple circulars addressed to the
bishops, and consequently incapable of re-
ceiving the authentic PRONUNCIATION without
which no law can come into existence. But
this at least can be said of encyclicals-that
theyare published in the official journal of
the Holy See, and it cannot be contested
that they arc acts Of the Pope. The Syllabus
is Of fur less value than an encyclic, in a
binding sense, upon the consciences of
Catholics. Its authors never had the courage
to insert it in the Official journal of Rome.
It has neither preamble nor conclusion, and
bears no signature. 1t is not Nh act or the
Pope It has no official character and no
.doctrinal value. Our correspondent quotes
the opinions Of the most eminent of the
existing authorities OF the Church as con-
frming this appreciation of the Syllabus,
and among them that of DIR. Newman will
not carry small weight. How can the Syl-
labus be the rule OF Catholic faith when it
il certain that this document was not in
tended for publicity and was only pub
lished through an indiscretion?
The reforms indispensable in the Church
will form tie subject Of our correspondents
next letter. The manner of electing the
sidered. For period of thousand years
the cardinals did not enjoy the exclusive
privilege Of the election. Seeing the great
extension tina. the Catholic religion has
taken in the five divisions Of the globe can
it be said that the Italian cardinals repre-
lie world? Joseph lie Maistrc admits tho
value OF the representative system in the
Church, and which it must not be forgotten
was observed in many Of its general coun-
ellis, and more especially in that of Ephesus.
The bishops of every province (there were
1907 deputcd one of their body to particle
pate in the election Of the popes. They
constituted the most illustrious electoral
body that has ever been known in history,
and the conclaye AZ thus organized repre-
scented really the universal sentiments and
opinions Of the Catholic world. On this
pointit may be mentioned incidentally that
at the last conclaye the Cardinal Archbishop
of New York, the first Cardinal accorded to
the New World, did not arrive il time to
take part in the election Of Leo XIII. lie

ton was over before he had entered Italy.

part on topics upon which it is difficult to say
nDytlins new. In the Church year the day was
what is known as Trinity Sunday and it of
course gave the keynote OF tho disconrses. at

great mystery OF the Triunc God the Rev Mr..

McCosh enlarged upon the necessity of ac-

scfialisic Mr.. Frothingham, and Dr.. Newman

The Court-Yes, it is so ordered.
AS the nearest jail was sixty
miles distant, as Caliph's judicial
requirements did not include a
knowledge of how to draft a COM
mitment, and as the constable was
himself "one of the boys" and per-
fecdy understood the matter, these
occasional Interruptions of a trial
amounted to no more than a tenn
porary adjournment, during which
the constable and the bar, and a
few inside friends had a convivial
game of draw.

AT Ovens river mining camp,
when Big Bill Moody swore point
blank at a trial to ascertain the ex-
act line between two claims that he
had seen the original stake driven
in 1862, Mr.. Graham said:
Mr.. Moody, do you swear that
you saw that stake driven in 1852?
Remember, sir, that you are on
your oath,
Mr. Moody-Yes, | do.

mistaken? Thiuk, sir, was it not
some other stake?"
Mr.. Moody-No, sir, it wasn't.

THE NEXT sHERIFP.

The honorable county court met
to-day a few miles east of the city
and elected man named McGowan
as sheriff. McGowan was the deputy
under @. L. Anderson, who failed to
arrest a desperate named Williams,
near Bartlett. McGowan has not
been in the city during the epidem-
ic, and will not come, any more
than the men who elected him
to this important trust. Yet "a
fellow feeling makes one wondrous
kind" When frost comes, and
cool weather and safety, McGowar
will put in his appearance.

A Hard money mnn.

The other afternoon an old fel-
low, who for some time worked at
the sluice boxes in Six Mile Can
yon, sold his Sierra Nevada and
came out $1,000 ahead. He went
to his broker and remarked that he
was going East to see the folks, and
guessed he would take the money
along.
"You want draft on New York,
l suppose?"
"No draft for me; l want coin.
Gold twenties is what came for.
Here he placed brown leather
valise on the counter and told them
to pile in the money.

the way to New York myself"
"You can get the gold in New
York and save the bother of carry
ing the coin along" remarked the
clerk.
"You can't pay gold IN New
York on me; they don't have any
there; the last time | was there |
never set my eyes on even a two
and-a half piece. Now just dump
the coin in this sack. / want good

lie was given the coin as desired,
and last night he was on the tr in

with that fellow will relieve him o

TILDEN AND THE ACTRESS.
How Mary Anderson Received the

There was never a heartier laugh

on the occasion of one of the per-
formances Of "Romeo and Juliet"
at the Fifth Avenue last winter,
when no less a parsonage than the
Hon. S. j. Tilden occupied a prom
inent box. The amiable gentleman
was in high good humor, and ap-f
plaQded the fair Juliet most raptur-
ously, but with the incest discrimi-
nation, for he is an esteemed au-
thority in the Interpretation of
the works Of the immortal William.
So pleased was he upon this par
ticular occasion that he sent for
the manager, and requested to be
allowed to express his thanks to
Miss Anderson in person, and du-
ring the entP act was ushered be-
hind the scenes by the courteous
Stephen, who raped lightly at the
door of the star chamber; in other
words Juliet's dressing room.

THE MASONIC FRATERNITY.

Our Masonic brethren are so
quiet and unOEtrusive about what
aid they render the members OF
the order and their families who
need assistance, that the papers
seldom get hold of an item con-
cerning their operations. Some of
the fraternity actually take ohense
at seeing any statement Of the kind
published. Information Of real
interest to the public is positively
withheld. The orthodox policy
which may have been necessary in
days OF persecution centuries ago
seems to still be binding upon some
OF the members of this most an
cient of all existing orders. The
facts furnished at Masonic head
quarters are exceedingly meager
and exact. However, we know this
much, that while many leading
members, such as A. j. Wheeler,
Ed Worsham, II. S. King and
Others have died the good work has
gone on almost the same. Relief
has been afforded st short notice to
every brother in need, and q large
charity has thus been dispensed
of which but few outside Of the
mystic fraternity are aware.

learn is smaller than at any time in
