Sunday Services.

Father Murphy opened the morning services by
reading from a book Catholic Christianity
and Modern Unbelef,' the subject treated being
the opposition to the Catholic church. This fact
argued as proof of the divine character of the
church, truth is necessarily int olerant, and the
Catholic church maintains that she is the true
church, and claim to be nfallble in that which is
revealed revelation necessitates power to
interpret.
The Catholic service and the sermon followed
the reading. The sermon was history of the
last days of Jesus and the model furnished man
kind by His love. patience, and resignation.
Closing Father Murphy said: christian patience
and resignation incident to our lives. To be
a christian is to be follower of the Man of Sor-
row. a child of the crucifed God. The trials and
Affections of life are intended Is reproof to the
sinner and to make more perfect the just man
The merciful God sometimes wounds the body that
he may win the immortal soul. God does not per-
NIT any man to be tempted beyond what he is
able to bear. Remember that God sees your
trials, and if you pray to Him Peter did he will
hearyour prayer and all the waves of trouble and
sorrow will be calmed''

Entertainment.

To relieve the monotony of prison life some of
our friends gave short but agreeable entertain
ment in chapel b all Sunday. 1t consisted of
recitatons, stories, speeches, etc. The ''Plea of
Sergt. Buzzfuzz,'' by Plim. E. Bennett was highly
appreciated by the audience on account of the
likeness of Mr.. Buzzfuzz the legal profession of
our day. More than one man is wearing stripes
through the mistakes of these gentlemen. A story
by DR.. Caine illustrated the grasping disposition
of the Hebrew. Mr.. Young gave some limitations
which were very amusing. A short speech by the
warden upon the necessity of reforming that por-
ton of the outside public who seek to corrupt and
degrade men who 60 out of prison, was received
in a manner which showed that he had struck the
key note of the reform question. MIR. E. E. Cor
lss, of Fergus Falls, and Judge j. S. Brown. of
Lyon county, guests of the warden, each enter
tanned with brief address, assuring us of their
sympathy and hoping for our better condition.
Mrs. L. NJ Smith, of st. Cloud, prominent mem.
Der of the w. e. T. u, was present and made a
brief speech and recited beautiful poem upon
the temptation of the young man. Mr. Seward was
master of ceremonies and made several short
speeches. At the conclusion Deputy Westby
thanked those who had entertained us and assured
them that it was source of pleasure to him to see
the interest shown in the unfortunates by the out
side public.

Our. World.


Editor Mirror
"A wheel within WHEEL is an old proverb, but
here is an actual fact of world within a world.
Excluded to certain extent from the outer
world, we live like monks of former ages the life
of recluse in peace and industry. Governed by
able and christian men our lives pass on like the
waters of th-fowing river without the least
obstruction and almost without notice. Morally
far in advance of the outer world. No
minion of the law is ever needed to carry to
dreary Dungeon the poor victim of that accursed,
poisoning liquor called alcohol. which, by the way,
is distributed by the wholesale among the more
uncivilzed portions of the outside world Here
each day has its routine of work, and each single
individual is of the sober and industrious kind,
filled with ambition to reach at some future period
the topmost round of the ladder from which few
occasionally slip and find themselves precipiated
to the bottom, but with joyful hearts and willing
hands again make start as if nothing had ever
happened to stop their career. Of what wonder
full material are our Inhabitants compesed-edi-
tors, lawyers. DOCTORS army officers and others of
high standing. Is it any wonder. then. that our
lives pass on smoothly, without crime being
committed. without the necessity of overtaxing
the nation to provide courts of justice and officers
of the law? Year by year passes by without any
some paltry depreciation scarcely worth mention
ing and for which the individual committing it is
not ways to blame. What great little world
this would be for anyone that wishes to emigrate
and seek peace and comfort, regular habits and a
life of quiet
Well, my fir ends must close. for at my door
stands one of our good-natured night watchmen,
who tells me that it is growing rather late and adj
vises me to be very careful of my health. and not
to fall into irregular habits-thus he admonished
me in the kindest possible manner to extinguish
my student lamp. Night Waterman? OF course
we have night watchmen! Do you think we would
consider ourselves safe surrounded as we are by
uncivilzed barbarians, whose papers we some
times read and which contain accounts of more
crimes committed in one day than our little MIR
ROR publishes in the course of a whole year.

Editor Mirror:
Allow ME through the medium of THE
MIRROR to give or show to the readers of
that paper the one important difference be-
tween the colored people and the white.
Some say there is no difference, more than
one is white and the other black; that we
were created by the same Creator; that our
mental abilities are the same when they are
eXerted That is pretty true. which l will
prove i'll the following statement. But,
nevertheless. there is, or seems to be, vast
difference between the white and black
people. Remember l am cOlOred man.
Here are some of the proofs that our men
tai abilities are the same as the whites: We
have colleges churches, public schools and
secret societies. Then we have lawyers,
doctors, aldermen, financers, millionares,
detectives, professors OF every branch of
science, and great many others of import
ance which | need not mention for they are
too humorous to be detailed

ference l find between the two races, and

not been one single colOred person made an
offer or single effort to visit or speak to
us in the chapel, or in any way tried to make
our burden lighter Still. | see in the
papers every week that the colOred churches
of Minneapolis and ST. Paul are having a
good time converting sinners: that the min
listers are travelling around doing what they
can to bring the sinner to repentance, but
they never visit Saltwater or think of the
unfortunates behind the bars.
Now, let us look briefly at the white
people. and see how things will compare.
Three times in the past year the Scandna-
VANS confined here have been spoken to in
their native tongue by ministers of the Cos
pei. Christmas. some of the white citizens
of Saltwater furnished us an entertainment
composed of songs, Rotations music solos,
etc. Thanksgiving the same thing occurred.
Previous to Thanksgiving the w. G. L. U.
addressed us in way that will long be re-
membered. Since Christmas the Catholic
Total Abstinence society of St. Paul enter
tanned us: a dramatic company gave us a
nice and enjoyable entertainment, and
several other entertainments and lectures
have taken place here during the past year,
in which no cOlOred person has taken
part | think if our cOlored friends of
st. Paul and Minneapolis would come over
and speak to us once we could not and
would not complain, but we would be bene-
fitted by their coming. not only the cOlOred
inmates but large majority of the whites,

Tucson Building and Loan AssOcia-
 tiOn

One of the most important eDterprl- ses ever undertaken by citizens Of Tue son is now Rn assured success.
 In period of six months the Tucson Building and Loan Association has made loans to the amount of S3.2OO besides paying all the expenses of starting such an institution as for instance record books, pass books. stationery, etc, snd has made in premiums alone on said loans the amour. of S5OO.
 1bese loans draw interes. at ID per cent. per 1nnum, which with tbe pre- miums make the association a profitable investment, especially Tor parties depend ing on wages and salaries, and men with families desiring to secure home of their own but without the necessary capital to purchase it outright.
 Naturally several of the l5O who went into the Tucson association in the hrst rush of organization have failed to pay up or take any further interest. Under the bylaws such members have been dropped and theIr stock declared forfeited, and as the trustees of the Rs- sociation have decided not to issue sny more series at present any one desiring to join may now secure any ot these shares by paying up back dues and | fines.
 The disposal of these shares lies with the secretary who may be found st any time between tbe hours of 2 a. rn. and D. ID. ID the office of the county trea- surer.

4 Singular Sight.

A gentleman who arrived from So- nora the other day tells of a singular sight which he saw about 45 miles southwest of Hermosillo. While travel ing along be came to a spot covering perhaps half sn scre where water had probably renamed standing for time after one of the very few rains that have visited thst section thIs season. But instead of the place showing a depres- sion in the earth 1t was literally mound of dead cattle. It appears that as the water disappeared the cattle be- gan to bog down and thirsty animals continued to wade in, get stuck and die until they were three and four deep. He estimated that there were at lesst 4SO dead cattle ID the heap and states that they doubtless came, many of them, from great distances ss water IS very scarce on the arid range in that section. -Nogalss Herald.
