CATHOLIC INDIAN SCHOOLS.
Lively Debate Upon Them i'm the United
States Senate.


WASHINGTON, July 2G.--In the senate
Thursday, during the discussion of the
appropriation of $3.50, 900 for the support
of the Indian schools, Senator Vest
highly complimented the Catholic
schools for Indians,
Mr.. Vest opposed the introduction of
system intended to abolish denomina-
tional education among the Indians. He
spoke of an official visit which he had
made to an Indian agency seven or eight
years ago and Of his observation of the
work of the Catholic church in edu-
eating the Indians.
A school building which had been
erected there by the Catholic church
was then standing there unoccupied be-
cause the agent would not permit the
Jesuits to teach any of the Indian chill
dren. His opinions ON the subject were
fixed, The Jesuits had succeeded bet
teT than any other people living in the
education of Indians. Whatever preju-
dice, if that was the proper word, he
might have against the Society of Jesus,
he had to say that much as an educated
Protestant
II the Catholics were doing better in
educating the Indians than other de-
nominations, he was in favor of the
Catholics; and that if the Presbyterlans
or the Baptists We're doing better, he
was in favor of them. But he was con-
vinced that the Catholics We're far more
efficient among the Indians than any
Protestant denomination could be. No
other denomination could take their
place, because the Indians, like all other
people emerging from barbarisln, had
received religious impressions that were
permanent. He did not care whether it
might be called religion or superstition.
The Indians were Catholics and would
remain Catholics. There were tribes
which had received some peculiar per-
sonal influences, a direction towards
particular Protestant denomination. He
knew a tribe in Montana, nearly all of
whose members had distinct leaning
to the Baptist church, through per-
sonal regard for one or two men who
had gone among them, lived with them,
and adopted their traditions to certain
extent: and there were some English
missionaries III Alaska who seemed to
have been created for that very work.
The discussion was continued by Mr..
Teller, who spoke of the Catholics as
the most successful educators of In
dianS; and by Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas,
who gave figures to show the great diff
ference i'll expense between the govern
ment schools for Indians and those car
ried on by the religious denominations.

PRESIDENT MeNENogzs DEATH.
The Result of u TreasOnabIe Plot, Headed
by Gen. EZeta.

~
by Gen. Ezeta.
New YORK, July 26. The Worlds ad-
vices by mail from San Salvador, under
date of June "a, give graphic descrip-
ton of the death of President Menendez
on the night of June %. A ball in honor
of the Inauguration of the republic was
in progress at the palace, when mill
tary revolt occurred on the streets, and
a number of soldiers rushed madly into
the hall room, causing the greatest ex-
citement. While the panic WAS at its
height Gen. MenendeZ appeared from
an upper room, with his sword and re-
volver in hand, prepared to head his
guard in quelling the disturbance. His
guards, however, had been driven to
their quarters by the revolving soldiery.
Gen. Menendez passed among the tur-
bulent masses, loudly calling for his
guard, when suddenly he dropped his
sword and fell to the ground, uncon.
scious. He had been attacked with con-
gestion of the brain. His friends worked
with him all night, but to no purpose,
and at . o'clock in the morning hs died.
During the confusion of the night the
mutinous soldiers and the guards had
numerous fights, during which Gen.
Marcial and five other officers and sew
enteen soldiers were killed.
The World correspondent asserts that
the outbreak was the result of treas
enable plot, tine leader in which was
Gen. Carlos EZeta, the present proyis-
ional president

GEN. EzErA's DISPATCH

Says They we Licked the Guatemalans
Out of Their Boots.
NEW YORK, July 26.-The Herald has
the following:
SANTA ANA, July 3-The Guatemalan
government, with the intention of helping
the traitor Villavicencio, ordered two of
its best generals to invade our territory
with troops. They were Jalapa and Santa
Rosa, who enjoy the reputation of being
very brave. They were driven out of Sal
vadorian territory in two great battles.
Two bloody battles that followed on Qua
temalan territory, in which the Salvado-
rians were victorious, caused great loss to
the enemy who lost artillery, guns and
ammunition. Salvador has proved the
justice of her cause by force of arms and
will not solicit nor accept peace that Is
not honorable. From the start we did not
care to provoke war. CARLOS EZETA.

count the bills. Each has a sponge
beside her and she gets her moisture
from this. There is great danger of
disease in handling bank otes, and
no one can tell as to whether the last
holder has had the smallpox or the
measles. The notes themselves are
green and the green comes from ar

A Fall OF Pink Snow.

Quite a curious phenomenon was
reported yesterday in a letter,to C.
5. Cooper, secretary and tregsarer of
the Monte Cristo Mining company of
Aspen, COL, who is in the city look.
ing out for the interests OF. his COM
pany. The letter is dated April 1,
and describes a heavy tall of "pink
snow" The phenomenon was wit
messed and described by a couple of
gentlemen we'll known to therecipient
OF the letter, who vouches for their
veracity. They are prospectors, and
had been working in their tunnel at
Maroon gulch, short distance from
Aspen, the day before the letter was
written, and on emerging into the
open air about 5 p. M, found the sky
q beautiful red. They thought a
great storm was approaching, butin
few minutes snow of a delicate pink
hue commenced falling. Ere long
everything was covered with pink
snow about an inch deep, and this
remained until the next day, when it
was covered with white snow. The
solution Of this strange phenomenon,
as suggested by the writer's, is that
the snow falls through myriads of
minute pinkcolored insects that ex-
ist there in great numbers, and that
the snow takes it's color from con.
tact with them.-Kansas City Jour-

Mormon Tithing Scrip.

If you go into, the principal Office OF
the tithing-house, says a Salt Lake
City letter in the st. Louis Gzobe-Demo-
crot you will see a tall, young man
handling what looks like. money. He
is behind a counter and the counter is
protected by a high railing. The man
glances through the window, then looks
down at the bills, and goes on thumb
ing them like a bank teller. He goes
to and from a big safe, carrying bum
dies done up, just as bills are, with lit
tie bands OF brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop to count, but takes the
amount on the brown slip as correct
and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. It is the tithing
scrip. It is used to facilitate the hand
ling of the grain, and hay, and live
stock, and produce which come in. If
you pick up one of these bills you will
find it very much like bank note in
appearance. In one upper corner is
the number of the bill In the lower
left-hand corner is the in hoe signo of
Mormonism, a beehive.
The face of the bill reads: s.Gen-
eral tithing Storehouse. Good only
for merchandise and produce at
the general tithing storehouse, Salt
Lake city, Utah." Each note bears
the signature of the presiding bishop.
On the back is the denomination again
and a vignette of the new temple at
Salt Lake City. The back also bears
the wording: ''This note is not cur
rent except in the merchandise and
produce departments of the general
tithing storehouse." The engraving is
well executed and the printing is we'll
done. The bills vary in color. There
are greenbacks for one department of
the tithing house, brownbacks for an
other, and so on. By using this scrip
the church is able to create market
for considerable quantities of the tith-
ing. The scrip is given out in dis
pensing charity. It is used for paying
for work on the temple SO far as. the
workmen can make use of it. EN-
ployes of the tithing house receive their
salaries of allowance partly in scrip.
In numerous ways the Mormon money
gets into circulation.
