The increase in the population of our city
and the surrounding villages, and the large
number of excursions entering here during
the summer, have greatly increased the work
in this department.
The marshal in his report asks for an in
crease in his force to enable him the more
efficiently and satisfactorily to discharge the
multitudinous duties of that Office. 1t is for
you to decide whether this demand shall be
granted or not after you have given the matter
careful consideration.

EXTENSION OF HIGH STREET.
A strong petition is already before you for
the extension of High street through to the
Oaks. This is an important matter and should
receive considerable attention before action is
TAKEN as it involves large expenditure that
would add, at least, one dollar per thousand to
the rate of taxation, and necessitates driving
out of the city large mandatory which gives
employment to goodly number of men.
1t is a work that should be done at the
proper time, but il is question for you to
carefully consider whether the benefits to be
derived from this project are sufficient to JUS

Encourage the Editor.

AS rule an editor gets about one
thousand kicks to one caress. Once in
a while he gets kind word and it
warns and cheers his weathe1-beaten
storm-racked heart to the iDnermost
core. Most people are afraid to tell an
editor when he writes an article that
pleases them. for fear of making him
proud, we suppose, but if thev find
anything that does not precisely accord
with their views, they will neglect their
business to hunt him up, and tell him
of 1t Pshaw!
Dear friends. don't think you will
spoil the editor By giving HIM an occa-
sional word of cheer. any more than YOU
will spoil your child By compllmentipg
it upon 9 piece Of patchwork it has
flushed OF course you could beat the
job Yourself, hut that does mt deter you
from heaplng words of encouragement
on the child It has done its best. So
you could doubtless beat the average
editor at running 3 paper! .
B or course YOU can. The man does

Sister Gertrude's Work Among the
Lepers.
Sist:,r Gertrude, the young English
woman who has consecrated her life to
the service of the Molokai lepers, writes
as follows to friend: "This is not the
hospital I was originally intended for,
but is newly bu 1t, and We have the
German specialist here. There are al
really forty patients, and they needed an
English Sister very much, as the natives
will not pursue their treatment if left to
themselves. This is pretty spot, built
on the coral; the patients are in little
detached wooden cottages, all around q
green lawn, with shady trees. In time
we are to have many pretty flowers and
creepers. I have some little children
here, 80 that my work is teaching as
well as nursing, and amusing them all
as we'll. There is one drawback-we
are long way from the church, but 1
hope in time to get a little chapel where
I may assemble them for prayers, read
ing and singing. I have one German
patient, who feels his misfortune very
much"

THE UUTOAsT.

Low near the shrine of the Sacred Heart,
4 weary woman knelt,
ONLY the plying God above,
Knew all the grief she felt.
Loved ones had left her, one by one.
Friends had forsaken and foes betrayed;
Runted and heart-broken, all alone,
Here to our Lord she prayed
'lesus! All-merclful, listen TO me,
And for Thy Mothers sake
Take my Door suffering soul to Thee;
BID all nv letters break.
stake me, o Jesus, from the Gin,
The woe. Of this weary life,
Open, sweet Heart, and let me in,
Safe from this torturing strife!
''Scorned and an outcast. Saviour, dear,
Hear Thou my longing cry;
Take rne from this my prison dear.
o Jesus. let me die!'
And. ss she prayed, in her soul came peace
Such peace SIS bat God can give.
And her wall of sorrow soon had surcease,
But she prayed 40 Lord q II live"
ITO praise Thy goodness, Who thus for me
Hath filched from dole its smart;
Turned grief to glad tranquility
Of Joy fulfilled my heart

Dom Pedro of Brazil.

It seems strange to say that man
was TOO mild a monarch, that he failed
to hold his crown because he was so
progressive as to be too just and too
fair, yet that seems to have been the
case with Dom Pedro Braganza, once
Emperor of Brazil. He occupied his
throne longer than any other monarch
living at the time, having assembled it
three years before Victoria was crowned
Queen Of England. To treat his sub
iects as men and brothers Was his one
idea in view, and during his reign of
fifty three years he adhered strictly to
it. He was the most benevolent and
gentle Of monarchs; his thoughts were
always upon the welfare Of his beloved
country and his dear people. But he
was ousted from the throne and exlled
by relentless democracy. which abhors
even the shadow of q throne, be its &C.

the result will be remains to be seen.

TISSUE OF FALSEHoODs

Catholic Church. 3
We are somewhat ashamed that the
United States CONTAINS body like the
Board Of Missions Of the Methodist Ep1s-
oopal Church. If recent utterances in
World Wide Missions are TO be taken as
standard of it's idea Of truth, says the
New York sssCatholic News" AsAmeri-
cans born and bred, we have regard
for truth.
It recently put forward this tissue Of
falsehoods
The Roman Catholic system of educa-
zion is at fault. Their schools, colleges
and uni versities do not dare teach much
else but the catechism, q little music
and little art, for fear the people will
soon get where they will no longer be-
ieve in purgatory and the sale of indul-
gences, and the abominable condolences
of the confessional.
Now it is easy to get the list of books
studied in Catholic colleges, academies
and schools, and anyone wishing to
tain it. To say that they teach nothing
but catechism, little music and lit
tie art is SO gross falsehood that 1t is
amazing to see it in print. Surely the
students of Catholic college who re-
Gently produced play of plautus had
learned something beyond this. The
boys of Catholic parochial schools who
beat the pupils of the public schools in
open and public competition had learned
something beside their catechism. 1t
is shame to sec any paper processing
to be decent and truthful renew the
charge that indulgencies are sold or
ever were sold by the Catholic Church.
To attack the belief In middle state
of souls comes late when many Protest
ants begin to see that it was q rash and
mistaken course TO reject it. AS for the
confessional, if tho writer in World
Wide Missions could not go to confess
sion or give his experience in prayer
meeting without letting others into
"abominable condolences, we pity him;
his life and soul must be very far from
clean.

And when the church she entered, sure enough

And she shook her rufaes out behind and

'.Alleluia Alleluiar' sang the choir above her
head,
sHardly knew you'll Hardly knew you!'' were

THAT she gave her little mouth twist her little

For she thought the very hymn they sang was
all about her bonnet,
With the ribbon, and the feather, and the bit OF

And after Mass she waited nots for blessing or
for prayer,
But battered down the silent street, and hurried

Will never get blessing from sermon Or from

Nearly Eighty Thousand Left Irish Ports
! in $50.
The Registrar General, DR.. Grimshaw,
|4has furnished to his Excellency, tho
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, his annual
report of the emigration statistics for
the year 1889, accompanied with tables
showing the number, ages, occupation,
conjugal condition, and destinations Of
the migrants from each country and
province in Ireland during the past
year. The report, which has been rep
resented to both Houses Of Parliament,
states that the number of emigrants
who left Irish ports in 1889 was 10000
"a decrease of 8,4l1 as compared
with 1888; the number of males being
B6,447, or $3.50 less than in the
previous year, and of females "a, 353--a
decrease of 1851. Of the $500 emil
grants in 1885, 70,477 were natives Of
ireland, and 1913 were persons belong
ing to other countries. Of the 70, AT
persons, natives of Ireland, who left in
1889, 1851, or go per 200 Of tho pop
ulation Of the province in 1881, were
from Leinster; ~, 404, or 300 per 1000,
from Munster; 17,1O9, or 9.8 per 1000,
from Ulster; and 13,343, or 1862 per
1000, from Connaught-the total num-
Der being equal to 1876 per 1000 Of the
population of Ireland in 1881. Com par
ing 1889 with 1883, Leinster exhibits a
decrease of 1, 209, Munster 315, Ulster Of
1860, and Connaught of 1924 emil
grants.
The devotion of the revered Arch
bishop of New York, Mgr. Corrigan, to
Our Lady of Good Counsel at Genez-
zano IS we'll known. He has propagat-
ed and extended devotion to Our Lady
under this title in way to adden
the heart of the Bless d Virgin. Since
his return from the Holy Land to Rome
he made pilgrimage to Genezzano to
celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Good
Counsel on the 25th of April. Bishop
Burke, of Cheyenne, and Rev. Dr. Nc
Donnell, of New York. were also pill
grims to the shrine, and were guests Of
Prior Glynn at the Augustine Convent
of St. Plus. After paying their fi1'al
respects to Our Lady, these American
pilgrims, before returning to Rome, pro-
ceeded to Subraco, and spent Sunday at
that famous home Of learning and pioty.

said Mass in the Sacro Speco, the grotto
to which st. Benedict retired at the age
of fourteen, when he entered on q life

terebene operated with decided effect,

was commonly given In 10 drop doses,
on sugar, every four hours at first, and
less often as the cough improved, but In
the most obstinate cases the dose was
doubled. While the medicine Is prac.
tically harmless, the taking Of twenty
drops is considered a proper limit, the
best method being to begin with five OF
