Father HarrisOn'S Letter,

am pleased to announce that on next
Sunday in st. Peter Clavers church ex-
pect to have Tor distribution a large
number of Bibles. These Bibles will be
gived to those who are unprovided and
90 not feel able. to pay for them. We
earnestly wish that every christian
should not only have Bible, but read
it. There can be no better practice
among men than that of daily reading
at least one chapter Of the Holy Bible
1t is most surprising to enter christian
house and not find Gods Word. Let il
be said, however, that Catholics are
rarely found without Gods Word. Those
who purchase beautiful large Bibles tc
ornament the parlor table are not to be
discourased, on condition that they have
a small Bible that can be handled with.
out mach trouble. Portable Bibles, OF
Bibles to be carried in the pocket are
desirable. It is very laudabie for chris.
tians to always have the Bible near them
50 as to read chapter or two in the
hour of trial. The conscientious mar
who intelligently reads the Bible and
follows it's teachings will lose nothing oil
value in this world and will gain much
eft value in the world 10 come.

EDITOR THE APPEAL: In what style
should lady go to church? How should
she carry her handkerchief? The
preacher of the church Eere called a
young lady flip because she used her
handkerchief to wipe her face, while sit
ting in the charch with young gentle
man from Chicago. The preaeher in
suited the lady by telling her not to use
the handkerchief while he was talking,
that he wanted better order. The peo-
pie here are very indignant and one of
the sisters called the preacher and old
man Hobbs, bull punchers and prairie
dog chasers and said that Bishop Brown
should not send such people out as lead
ers. The sisters are greatly displeased
with Davis rule, and think the best
thing to do is TO tie string to Davis and
Hobbs and send them back to Kansas
among the prairie dogs.

A Mean Trick.

Green Lane, a Colored man living at
1856 Homer street, while pereonating the
good Samaritan, was shamefully treated
last night. Near Humboldt park he
saw two men trying to ifta drunken
comrade from the ditch and volunteered
to assist them. He aided them in steer
ing the inebriated individual up the
street until they got to q lonely spot
The drunken man became suddenly
sober, and with the help of the other
couple threw Lane down on the walk
and robbed him of his purse containing
a $40 bill and some change, and of a
scarf-pin. The trio then fed, leaving
Lane to recover from costly surprise
party. The police we're notified and
two Of the men were arrested. They
gave their names as John Gavitee and
John Pelo. Justice La Buy held both
men to the Criminal court under $500

The fact that Senator Sherman voted
against the Blair bill calls to mind the
letter which his brother Gen Sherman,
wrote in opposition to the public schools.
Notwithstanding the eminence of both
these distinguished gentlemen, they
cannot keep concealed their real reasons.
and put forth the theory of "changed
conditions.' Though the newspapers,
for concealed reason refused to pub
lish Blair's arguments for his bill, their
arguments will be published and read.
Then the fact will be manifest that
enmity to public schools killed the
Blair bill. Senator Jones knew the sit
uation when be appealed to the churches
to establish church schools. One of
the most important issues OF the day is
church schools versus public schools.
The Blair bill was championed by pub
lie school men and opposed by church
school men. Some of these church
school men are friends of the public
schools, others are doing all they can to
destroy them. A church has right to
establish and support it's own schools,
but every citizen is bound by his oath of
supporting the constitution of his own
state and that of the United States also
to support the public schools. .":s
