RIGHT REV. BISHOP ELDER has issued a strong
letter with respect to dances at Catholic pionios
and entertainments, He says "there must be no
round dancing at any time, and no dancing of
any kind after dark" If the managers OF any
park or hall or garden keep 1t open after dark
for dancing purposes when 1t may be leased by
any Catholic order or association, the temptation
will be strong for Catholics to join IN the amuse-
ment, and, therefore,, the Bishop says: "NO such
entertainment must be given in future, unless
the contract be made and enforced that on It's
conclusion all the company shall leave and the
place be closed for the rest Of the evening and
night" No public entertainment is TO be given
by any Catholic association without the full con-
sent and appreciation OF the pastor or spiritual
adviser, and if any society violates these in
structions 1t will forfeit all claim to be cunsid.

church. The Bishop says in his letter:

Manufacturers Should Know Their Own
Business.

The men engaged in manufacturing, both
the capitalists and the employees, are sup
posed to know something about their bust
ness and what is good for them, and the fact
that they are almost unanimously in favor
of all the protection they can get ought to be
almost as convincing as the opinions of these
theorists. 1t is hardly to be supposed that
they are entirely mistaken about their own
business, and that dreamers who know
nothing practically about manufacturing are
right and know much more about the BUSH
ness than those engaged in it.

braces of master and dog. The bride waited in
the vestibule, but Bangs could not tear himself
from the skye until a soulless sexton snatched the

of sewing machine antecedents, has an annual
income of $50, 1000 could reconcile Bangs to this
sacrifice of his tenderest feelings.

The Proper Policy with the Liquor Traffic

Porter County Vidette.
The proper policy leaves all persons of dis
erection free to rule themselves in social and
domestic habits, subject only to the prohi-
bition hat in UGH enjoyment of their
liberty they must not %injure or endanger
others, and must pay ali damage measured
by the courts against them, and give surety
in whatever manner necessary for their flu
ture harmlessness. This is our sort of equita-
BILE prohibition, which we really think must
be the ultimate position of all temperance
advocates, allowing men the largest peaceful
liberty, yet permanently most efficient in
suppression of intemperance and every other
vice and crime. Such law can be enforced
deavoring to exercise a war-like rule upon
the other half.

Sentinel really ever ''feels" or thinks" to

ought not to be so distressiugly quiet about

No Room for Any Intolerance.

Shelbyville Republican,.
The right of the majority to govern is the
first cardinal tenet of Republicans, and it
has always been considered as applicable to
party as to governmental action, at any rate
SO far as the choice of servants goes. There
can be no party harmony, no party success,
while the spirit of prescription and %intoler-
ance prevails. We should demand for our
nominees that they be Republicans, thaE
they have high character as citizens, that
they have large capacity for public affairs,
public and private records be clean; but we
have no right to demand that they stand on
this or that side of the prohibition issue.
This is the spirit of manly party harmony,
and actuated by it we can reclaim Indian
apolis to true republicanism. By any other
we ing~loriously fail.

John and his elder brother Nils, we'll
known in Sweden rs n railway engineer,
were the sons of Olaf Ericsson, Swedish
mining proprietor. From an early age
John betrayed the peculiar bent of his
genius, and when l3 years of age was put
in charge of n section of n ship-canal
which was being surveyed by the corps of
engineers in which, through the influence
of Admiral Count Platcn, he had obtain
ed an appointment rs cadet. From be-
ing an engineer of the Gotha canal Young
Ericsson became M officer in the Swed-
ish army, and hence his title of Captain.
In 1926 he visited England on leave of
absence, and never returned to his native
country. In 1929 he entered his locomo-
tive Novelty in the competition which
was won by George Stephenson's celebra-
ted Rocket, though Ericsson's locomotive
attained II much greater speed than
Stephenson's. In 1888 he first brought
to public notice his %caloric engine, which,
reconstructed and applied to pumping for
domestic uses, has been built and sold in
large numbers (over fifteen hundred) dur
ing the last three yeers by the Delametcr
iron-works. In 1887 he constructed the
first practicable propeller vessel, the
Francis b. Ogden, and the disfavor with
which this was received by the British
admiralty resulted in Capt. Ericsson's de-
parture for America in 1889.
His record in America began with his
first essay in war-ship building, the
Princeton, which was the first steamship
oven built with machinery protected from
shot by being placed below the water
line. The story of the Monitor, which
revolutionized naval architecture, is too
well known to need morethan a reference.
For the last few years Ericsson's time has
been chiefly devoted to the perfection of
submarine attack, and his torpedo boat,
the Destroyer, is the result of his labors
in that direction. In a totally opposite
direction, the solar engine is equally
novel and interesting. 1t is known to be
the first practical and successful attempt
to use the suns rays for that purpose.
The fruit of years of experiment and
study, Capt. Ericsson's youngest brain
child of his old age, this will ere long, he
hopes, convert the sun-burnt tropical re-
gions of the earth into fertile tracts of
smiling and grain-bearing country.
A reference may finally be made to the
habits of life of this young man of 80
years old. At Z o'clock, winter or sum
mer, he rises, takes a cold bath, and for
two hours performs his gymnastic excr-
cises. At 9 he eats n substantial break
fast, consisting of poached eggsand coarse
brown bread. He does not then touch
food until half-past 4, when he eats a
hearty dinner, consisting mainly of veg
etables, after which he works at his draw
ing board until 10, walks for two hours,
and at midnight goes to bed, falling into
a sound sleep almost rs soon aq his head
touches the pillow. He drinks nothing
but very weak tea, milk and icc-water,
and uses no tobacco in any form.
