More Privacy Needed.

ED. SENTINEL: After the arrival OF
the train, i fsome ladies will keep out
of the Postofice and let the clerks
alone to distribute the mails, they will
confer a benefit on the community.

in his busiest time, and the people
anxiously waiting outside will not be
annoyed by a ceaseless clatter OF
tongues and giggles in the high notes

Of outsiders at any time into the

The Silver State says that sacks
upon sacks of public documents are ar
irving there from Washington for dis
tribution. The clerks in the depart
ment take advantage Of their positions,
however, TO impose on the Senators,
who order documents sent to their
constituents, and send agricultural and
patent office reports and message and
documents from ten to fifteen years
old, in fact some reports bearing the
date of 1874 on the wrappers, have
reached the Postofice there.

NEVADA WATER SUITS.
Proposition TO Have Them ali
Tried nc Once.

Three petitions have been filed in
the District Courts of Nevada for the
adjudication Of water rights. The
first one, embracing the Humboldt
and its tributaries, is before Judge
Fitzgerald in the court Of Winnemucca,
another is before Judge Bigelow, in
Reno, and a third before Judge Ris-
ing, in Carson.
An effort is now being made
by some of the counsels in the
case to have all the District Judges go
to Winnemucca on June II, and hear
arguments for and against the con
stitutionality of the act under which it
is sought to establish the rights Of the
persons claiming water for irrigating
or other beneficial purposes.

PALACE HOTEL POLITICS.
Nevada Politicians Down There
Fixing Things.

EtktHk hhtnks
Arthur McEwen is writing a series
Of letters from San Francisco for the
Virginia Chronicle. He knows how
the Republican politicians from Ne
vada 90 down to the Palace Hotel and
arrange the campaign in this State
with the Central Pacific railroad
bosses. He relates this little story:
AT this hour, when the air which
politicians breathe is a-quiver with the
first pulsings OF an opening campaign,
Nevada ~publicists come down to the
Palace Hotel to see about things. One
who was busting around the office
there yesterday | recognized as a for
mer State Senator at Carson, where he
gained wide fame as a friend of the
people, and a useful, quiet little repu-
tetion as a friend Of himself. To him
one day went a mining Superintendent
from the Comstock, big with a meas
ure OF vital importance to his en-
ployes. He backed Senator Shares up
against the wall Of one Of the State
House lobbies and said:
"See here, Shares, / know you're
an honest man who can take the
right view of an important public
measure. l want you to examine this
bill and stand by it on its merits as a
straight proposition. OF course Pm

through, but l needn't say that / can't
talk coin to you as l do some of these
cattle here. / can't be such a oun
drel as to talk like that with you, you

Well, Mr.. Deliver" said Senator
Shares after a deliberative pause, and

A Horse in u Tree.

The Silver City Avalanche says
I'D. II. Spencer, who has a horse ranch
in the jumpers, found one of his ami
mails suspended in a tree this Spring.
II is not known whether the animal
intended to commit suicide, or climb
out of the snow, or into the tree to get
something to eat. 1t is probable how
v that it was in search of food and
went over the snow to nibble the top
of q tree, when it broke through the
snow and lodged in the branches Of
the tree, where it was found when the
snow had melted away"

from colleges and certain schools which will
be specified in the new catalogue now in
preparation, will be accepted in lieu Of such
examination. students who are "coudi-
toned" at this examination win be allowed
TO make up the deficiency during their first
year.
In the second place all students who shall
hereafter matrlculate at this college

THE BURLINGTON DIOCESE.
Historical Sketch of tho Growth of
Romhn Catholicism Ia Vermont.

liiy Rev Thomas MCtartyI
Cotholicity in the territory now com
prised in the State Of Vermont dates back
to the early part OF the l7th century. The
French missionaries who accompanied the
explorers Of Canada extended their labor to
the shores Of Lake Champlain An ancient
tradition states that during the frat half Of
the l,th century Jesuit and Recollet priests
aLorcd among the Indians living AS the
mouth Of the Miasisquoi river. 1t is Ger
tain that as early as 1866 religious services
were held at the French fort on Isle La
Motto There were, however, but fyw
Catholics in Vermont before the middle Of
the present century
Previously to 1853 the present diocese Of
Burlington was included in the diocese Of
Boaton, which at one time comprised oil
Now England. The few CathQlic mmi-
grants who bad settled in this State
before the middle OF the present century
w,rc chiefly of irish or French origin
Their spiritual wants were attended to by
priest, who were sent from Boston or came
from Canada for that purpose At first
these missionaries did not reman long in
any one place, but passed from one Catholic
settlement TO another, administering to each
in turn. In this manner n single priest
often visited the whole State.
The first resident pastors in the State
were Father O'Cal aghan who was sent tc
Burlington in 1889, Father Daley, who was
given charge OF 2Illlehu~y i'm 1899, aud
f'a her Hamilton, who went to reside at st.
Albnns in 1917. Father O'Callaghan bui 1t
