none to say that she had failed to make

been hard for her, but by and by,
when he whom she loved was made
happy in the blessings of wife and

den of sorrow and had found in life

And now, though years have passed
away and the wild pampas grass waves

are many who still grieve for the

the light of her life is still undimmed.

There be many such, many whom

Catholics and Secret
Societies.

Probably the most radical thing
that has transpired through the assem-
bling of the first Catholic Congress is
in regard to secret societies. The
Catholic church has long been regarded
as the implacable foe of every secret
society without its own pale, and it
now appears that the ban of the church
is to be lifted absolutely from every
sort of secret organization except the
Masonic order. That the objections
to the Masonic brotherhood will also
be waived is confidently expected by
those who know, and it is said to be
only a matter of - months or so be-
fore any man may openly avOw him
self a member of the Ancient Order of
Free Accepted MasOns as we'll as a

Accidents at the Eifel Tower.

Thousands of Americans who have
been up in the Eitfel Tower will be inter-
ested to know that they have run an
alarming risk. On last Sunday an ele.
vatOr in which visitors to the tower are
carried from the second stop to the
summit fell almost 100 feet, and thirty
occupants were more or less injured
The authorities of the exposition took
every precautiOn to conceal the acci-
dent, as was done during instances of
loss of life during the building of the
tower. 1t is said that since the OPEN
ing of the Exposition fully a dozen
men have lost their lives in the Eiffel
tower elevators, but in no instance
have such accidents been made public.
A great many wOrkmen were killed
during the construction of the tower.
and these tragedies were also kept
from the public The Paris exposition
having closed, the Parisians now en-
gagged in contemplating the statistics
and counting the gains. 1t is estima-
ted that 100000 French people came
from the provinces, and that their ag-
gregate expenditure in the capital was
600,000,000 francs. At least 100000
foreigners visited Paris and the exhi-
bition and spent 75O,O0O,0OO francs.
The Englishmen head the foreign list
with $4,000, the Belgians coming next
with 226,000, the Germans third with
100000, and the Americans a good
fourth with nearly 10000.
