CATHOLIC SALoONKEEPERS


They Are AdHouished In Accordance with
the Decre-s or the P1onary Council
CHICAGO. April PA decree Of great
importance has been published In the Cath
ole churches for the first time, and one
that must have great influence in deciding
that portion OF the saloon question which
relates TO Sunday observance. The de-
crees are based on the action Of the Plenary
Council at Baltimore, and that portion OF
them relating TO the saloon question is as
follows: FINALLY, we warn Catholics en-
gagged ia the sale Of intoxicating drinks TO
consider seriously by how many and how
great dangers, by how many and
how great occasions OF sin their
business, though in itself not I'M
lawful is surrounded. Let them, II
they can, choose a more becoming way OF
making living. Let them, at any rate,
strive with all their might to remove occa-
sions Of sin as well from themselves as
from others. They must not sell drink to
minors, that is to say TO those who have
lot come Of age nor who they foresee will
abuse it. They must keep their saloons
closed on Sunday and never allow bias
pheming, cursing or obscene language.
Saloenkeepers should know that il,
through their eulpable neglect or co-opera-
ton, religion is brought into contempt or
men brought to ruin, there is an Rvenger in
Heaven who will surely exact from them
the seyerest penalties"

ALIEN LABOR.

The President Writes n Letter on the En-
pIoyment of Allen Fishermen.
BosTog, April IA letter to United
States District Attorney CALVIN from
President Cleveland relative TO the I'M
portstion Of foreigners is as follows: I'm
formation has reached the Treasury De-
sartment that a large number Of foreign
ers have been brought into Massachusetts
in violation Of the Contract Labor law for
the purpose Of manning American fishing
vessels sent out from the ports OF Glou-
cester, Boston and Beverly for the purpose
Of taking fish along the Canadian coast. 1t
seems TO me quite certain that such for
::gners and aliens have been brought IN by
parties in direct violation OF the statute
covering such cases and l believe the i'm
portation OF such foreigners tends to the
displacement Of American labor. ! am
aware many Of these persons have,
through the care OF the officials, been re-
turned to the country from which they
came. / therefore onion on you the duty
of prompt investigation OF these cases
and request that you confer with the COL
Iectors Of the ports OF Boston and Glouces-
ter that prompt and effective measures
may be taken. The department has ordered
that special agents be detailed who will
report directly to you. and if you require
any further assistance it Will be given you
upon application"

Drug Stores in Germany.

you hear some one at crank inside,
the massive frame rolls up, and head
looks out the window. Finally the
man or boy inside opens part of the
window and you talk through pane of
glass, and you make known your wants.
Instead of showing anger at being
aroused, the man begs your pardon for
keeping you outside and says: II
thank you for your order" II you
have not the exact change, and the
man inside is not in the same predica-

NATIoNALIsTs INTERVIEWED.

Conoensus of Their Opinions In Regard
to Threatened Papal Condemnation of
the "Plan Of Campaign" and Boyeotting
In Ireland-They Take But little Stock
I'm the Report.
LONDON, April PA number OF Nation
alist members Of Parliament were inter-
viewed to-day regarding the report to the
effect that Pope Leo intends issuing
condemnation Of the plan OF campaign,
and the practice Of boycotting in Ireland,
low the directions of the Ma
uonal League in these matters. All
the members seen expressed it as
their opinion that this report was simply
a revival Of like statements made from
time to time by the Tory press for the
purpose of influencing English votes, and,
II possible, to intimidate the Irish who
were struggling hard against the govern
ment's measures in the unequal fight for
liberty. "Why should the Pope do this."
asked one of the members. alt is far
more consistent to my mind to think that
the Pope is inclined TO favor Ireland
rather than to array himself on England's
side. In the first place. con-
slider the great number of Catholics
" NJ oAc IL AAO, III hpltc
their poverty, give not only faithfully but
very largely to the support OF the church.
They constitute the truest of the ropes
people to-day. and nowhere would His
Holiness find a safer and better asylum
from possible persecution, or more de-
voted defenders, than in Ireland. Besides
these considerations, the Pope would
hardly, for the sake of pleasing
England, proceed in direction
contrary to that indicated in the
various reports he has had from
different authorities on Ireland. Mgr.
Persico's report on Ireland was favorable
in most respects, and he most certainly
did not advise the Pope TO interfere with
the legitimate means Of warfare employed
by the people. Cardinals Newman and
Gibbons have both made favorable re-
ports to the Pope in regard to
Ireland, but perhaps the strongest
and best of all was that of Cardinal
Manning, who told Pope Leo that IL he
were an Irishman, living in Ireland, he
would consider himself justified in join
ing the plan Of campaign and of doing just
what the people were doing there in de-
Tense OF their rights. The idea that the
Duke of Norfolk went to Rome TO influence
the Pope in these matters has no foupda-
ton in fact. He merely conveyed the
congratulations of Queen Victoria to His
Holiness on his first visit, and his CUB
sequent visit was personal one."

ELECTRIC HEATING.
Patents Issued for Methods of Transmit
ting Heat by EIectricity-A New Era
Promised.

Patents Issued for Methods of Transmit
ting Heat by EIectricity-A New Era
Promised.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Five important
patents were yesterday issued to Elias A.
Ries. Baltimore electrician, for methods
and apparatus for heating by electricity.
These inventions are based upon and en-
body a radically new departure in the art
Of converting electricity into heat, by
means OF which the various losses attend
ing previous attempts in this direction
are entirely overcome. 1t is claimed that
by this system dwellings and other
places can be supplied with heat from
central generating stations by the same
conductors that now supply them with cur
rents for incandescent electric lights, and
at a cost considerably less than that for
which an equal amount of heat can be
produced by the crude and wasteful
methods now in vogue. The success of
this system Of electric heating is due ID
Mr.. REFS method Of utilizing the current
expansively, so to speak, the heat being
produced by secondary or transformed"
currents, having an extremely low cleo
trical pressure, but possessing unusually
great heating qualities. The system is
said to be absolutely safe, and the pat
ents referred to not only include inven-
tons for private eating and heating from
central stations, but also special methods
for heating and lighting railway cars by
electricity.
Patents covering other important appli-
cations, such rs for various domestic and
industrial operations, are still pending
before the Patent Office. The uses to
which a practical and economical system
of electric heating, such as this appears
to be, are applicable, are SO many, and
the field so vast, that if the claims made
for this method are verified, it is possible
that these patents will prove to be of far
greater value even than those granted on
the electric light and the telephone.

that it would be popular. Frac-
tional silver and the postal-note system
met ali purposes which fractional notes
could serve except by very large issue
extending to the most remote part of the
country, and requiring years in its prep
aration. The cost and great loss incident
81 to such an issue and its manifest dis
advantages, which had led to its abandon
ment, were, to his mind conclusive rea-
sons against renewal of such circula-
ton. The Comptroller Of the Currency,
Mr.. Trenholm, also appeared before the
committee to suggest some minor modif
cations of the bill to reimburse depositors
in the Freedmen's Bank.
