observed the second memorial celebra-

speeches were of less inflammatory

seems TO be losing its hold in Chicago.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 13.-The Sun says

zation except the Masonic order, and
that the objections to the Masons will
also be removed in twelve months or so.

wu,,r the South American countries

WHILE the South American countries
are sending delegates to the Pan-Amer-
lean Congress and attempting to con-
trive means for uniting the three Ameri-
cas- in closer commercial relations which
would undoubtedly be reciprocally ben
efcial, perhaps they may get some
pointers as to the causes of the greater
financial advancement and progress in
lines of trade and government of the
northern part of the American conti-
nent as embodied in the United States.
South America has been discovered as
long as her more favored neighbors of
the North, but why is there that dispar-
ity in wealth, progress and enlighten-
ment which we find ,diseernblle, by the
slightest comparison? She has plains
nowhere equalled in magnitude and fer
tility which open an enchanting pros
pect to the ranchmen and wealth in in
Vulnerable forms lies hidden in soil and
mountains, but the ever-galling yoke OF
subservience to Rome has held all her
nations in bondage. Saddled on the
people in the infancy of her countries,
it has ever clung with grip of steel,
and always reaching out and attaching
its tentacles to each new field. In some
countries where Catholicism is the DOM
inant power in Church and State, two
hundred and seventy-two fast and feast
days are observed, which has pernicious
and damning effect on the wealth and
advancement of the people. Inter-asso-
citation and the consequent comparison
of the customs, wealth and progress of
the different peoples could not fail to
have salutary effect in casting aside
the burden which is fatal to liberty, sta
bility and the successful accumulation
of wealth by all classes. 1t is lament
able fact that more time is spent in
keeping religious festivals in intensely
Catholic countries than would, if en-
ployed in productive labor, double the
wealth of the people in short time
Better have no religion at all than one
which continually bleeds and saps the
life of its devotees, and if the present
Congress would only show the represent
atives wherein one element of their de-
cay, lies it will not be barren of fruit

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE
Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflammatory rhnematism
is confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is
reached that fine preventive. Hosteter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary
suffering is avoided. Nervine, anodynes
and sedatives, while having none but
specific effect, are yet very desirable at
times. Yet can they produce no lasting
effect upon rheumatism, because they
have no power to eliminate from the
blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at
the outset disease which, if allowed to
gain headway, it is next to impossible to
dislodge or to do more than relieve
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is
a disease with fatal tendency from its
proneness to attack the heart A resort
to the Bitters should, therefore, be
prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney complaint,
malaria ard nervousness are relieved
by it. II at.

The Laity Invoked.

The laity is invoked to aid the clergy
in all educational economical and social
questions: protesting against any change
il the policy of the government in the
manner of educating the Indians, by
which they will be deprived of Christion
teaching; express deep interest in the
negro race; administration of the rites of
the Catholic church is demanded for
inmates of penal and other public insti-
tutions; alliance should be sought with
non-Catholics in bringing about better
observance of the Sabbath. Sunday
liquor selling is execrated and the pas
sage of a law forbidding the sale Of
liquor to intoxicated persons is urged.
They extOl the Catholic press and hope
for the establishment of Catholic dailies
in the large cities and Catholic united
press; express a desire for proper devo-
tional church music.
The section on the Holy See is as fol-
lows: We are convinced that the abso-
lutte independence of the Holy See is
equally indispensable to the peace of the
church and welfare of mankind great
applausel- and demand IN the name of
nature, humanity and justice that this
freedom be scrupulously respected by all
secular governments. We protest
against the assumption by any such
government of the right to control the
action of the holy father. the pope, by
any form or public act without having
first obtained his free ard full consent
and appreciation. We pledge 10 Leo
XIII the loyal sympathy and aid of all
his spiritual children in vindicating his
right to independence.

Potato Growing.

The great mistake of those who be-
gin the cultivation of potatoes is that
they do not commence soon enough.
They find the price high at planting
time; conclude then that crop will be
a profitable investment, pillow their
land, buy seed at high price, put it in
with as little care as possible, and GEN
orally make failure. Either the crop
is poor, or the price at selling time low,
as it is very apt to be when seed pota-
tors are dear. If we wanted to give the
best assurance of successful result, we
would reverse every one of tie condi-
tons herein specified. Plant most
freely when potatoes at planting time
are cheap. The preparation of the
ground ought to begin at least the fall
before. If it is a sod, cover it literally
with whatever manure can be spared.
Most of this will, by the next spring,
work it's way down through the soil. fer

the manure and grass roots will cause

American girls who live abroad I'M
dienities of a startling kind. It is not
usual, however, that a cabman furnishes
material for a gossipy story; yet, one
young woman has had an adventure
with man of this class which she will
not soon forget. She is daughter of a
promine nt.politician who has held many
offices OF distinction, and is spending
the season in Berlin. Callinga carriage,
in the early hours of the mo rning after
brilliant bali. the young woman started
home. It is customary in Berlin, when
sending girl home in cab, to require
a ticket which the jehu IS compelled to
give, upon which are his number and
the price of the trip, and which, in case
ofany accident, can be used in evidence.
The escort OF the American girl had
neglected this. The journey led her
though a lonely part OF the Thiergarten,
where, even in daytime, people seldom
walk. When in the darkest corner the
cab suddenly stopped, the driver de-
scended from his box, opened the door
and thus addressed the young lady:
miss, / have often heard that a Kiss
from the high ladies tastes better than
one from our people, and am going to
know for myself With that, he
stretched out his hands, covered with
their buckskin. gloves, clasped the girl
about the neck, and drew her, scream
ing, toward him. Resistance was i'm
possible; her cries were unheard. and
the coachman's lips touched her own.
With the aggravating remark, "Not a
bit - he closed the door, and continued
the journey, assisting his victim TO alight
when the destination was re ched. The
young lady rushed into the house, not
waiting to pay her fare, and spent hours
scrubbing her lips. She had no means
of identifying the scoundrel, and he

Dosing Trees With Medicine.

Referring to the popular idea that sui
phur placed in holes bored in the
trunks Of trees will be dissolved and
carried by the sap to the foliage in such
quantities as to render it offensive to
insects, recent bulletin Of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College expert
ment station says that it has been
found upon cutting down trees which
have been plugged with sulphur that
the material remains unchanged for
many years. 1t is added, says Garden
and Forest, that while we are spending
so much effort to prevent injury to our
trees from borers, we certainly ought
not to make holes in them many times
larger than those made By any known
species OF insect. In order to ascertain
whether sulphur in soluble form can be
introduced into a tree so as to affect the
fungus growths causing rusts, blights
and m1ldews, some large rose bushes,
badly widowed, were treated with sat
urated solutions of potassium sulphide.
The liquid was forced into holes bored
into the main stem with small gimlet,
and the oritice was plugged with graft
ing wax. At first slight improvement
in the amount of mildew upon the
leaves was noticed, but in september all
the bushes but one were dead, presum-

til further trials are made this expert
ment indicates that while there may be
some promise that antiseptics intro
duced into the sap circulation may pre-
vent the growth of fungi, some safer
means of introducing the solutions must
be found. From the nature of the case
it is hardly possible that any substance
can be introduced into the circulation
in sufficient quantities to affect insect
life. Prof Maynard, who prepared the
bulletin, sue gests that an inspection be
made next season of the elms in Boston
which were bored and filed with
chemicals last spring to make the
leaves distasteful to beetles. Careful
weighing would determine how much
of the powder had escaped from the
hole and analysis could detect the pres
ence of any excess of sulphur in the
leaves

had a private audience with the
'graphaphdne," recently. This instru-

for Office work, to be used instead of

type writer. The case and all give it
the appearance of a sewing machine,
but its mechanism is apparently much
more simple 1t does not throw

tubes to my ears, distinctly heard the
voice of a lady of my acquaintance, an
amateur, singing ballad. There was
every note and every word distinctly
repeated, even to shake in the voice
where she had laughed, at the absurdi-
ty of singing into funnel, | suppose.
And yet that cylinder was three weeks
old. The wife of gentleman interest
ed in the graphaphone told me that she
wrote, or spoke, all her letters home by
the graphaphone. Her family had an
instrument, and all they had to do was
to put the cylinder in, work the treadle,
and they would hear her voice telling
them all the news of her home The
most marvellous thing about this instru-
ment to me was the way that it would
be made to say words backward simply
by reversing the cylinder. For example,

words mad dog into the mouth-piece,
