| MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 2S-The con

| opened yesterday with high mass and a
sermon at ST. Mary's church, the preacher
being Rev. Father Buehlre, who said that
the Catholic faith in this country must be
taught by church schools, and no inter

Resolutions Adopted.
RESOLUTIONS We're adopted on the Ben
nett law, upholding the rights Of
parents to select the schools for
| their children They favor compul-
sorry school laws, under certain re-
strictions; admit the necessity of public
schools and the right to support them by
general taxation They make no claim
upon tt9 pgt,ic school fund for the main
tenance of parochis.i 1r private schools.
but reserve for themselves the right to
guard against the misuse or the squander
ing of school funds. After DENYING the
right of the state to interfere with paro-
chial schools as an infringement of their
clvli and religions rights, they demand
the absolute repeal OF the Bennett law

was one providing for the establishment
in Milwaukee of a free high school to be

A Rival of DR.. Tanner.

Seattle has champion faster. 1t
is w. M. White, who is now confined
in the county Jail. He has decided
to starve himself, and is now ten
days on the way So far as is known
not a morsel has passed his lips since
for ten days, and says he doesn't
propose to eat this year. He says
he doesn't know anything about Tan
ner or his famous fast, but if he con-
tinues on in the way he is doing now
he will knock that eminent expert
menter silly. His face is, if any
thing, fleshier than when he stopped
taking food, and the doctor says his
system shows no symptoms of lack
of nutrition. White is undergoing
sentence of fourteen years for for
gerry, but is now in the county jail
awaiting proceedings on a writ OF
supersedeas. AS he sees fourteen
years of Imprisonment staring him
in the face he probably prefers death
by starvation to serving the term
out.-ScdHle Press.

The Deadlock in the Iowa Legislature

Dies MONIES, IA, Jan. 22.-The
deadlock in the legislature continues,
and the election of a United States
senator and the Inauguration of the
new Democratic governor seem fur
ther off than ever. Richman, of
Muscatine, in q speech, said the
Democrats rightly demanded the
speakership because a majority OF
the voters were with them and would
sustain the demand. Chase (Rep.
spoke in reply, saying the Republi-
cans had q majority on many ques-
tons, especially prohibition, and
they proposed to stand together.
Four fruitless ballots were taken,
and the House adjourned till to-mor-
row. The Senate adopted a resolu.
tion-29 to stopping the intro
duction of bills until the Legislature
is fully organized.

JOY AND SUFFERING.

The cold wave has at last reached
US, giving tair promise of plentiful
ice and bringing with it joy. in the
hope that ala grippe" will be ousted
and the germs Of disease existing in
all kinds OF matter, remaining over
from the summer, will be completely
frozen out. So we see it but alas,
in the far West and Northwest, in
the mountains, on the plains and
along the lines of the railroads, that
traverse them, the blizzard and the
snow have wrought sad havoc and
caused much suffering. Trains have
been blockaded, men, women and
children have persisted and the very
cattle have been frozen dead. Thus
amid JOY and suffering the world
moves on to one common end.

FOURTH DISTRICT ". "a.
CONTEST.

The House Committee on Con-

clusion ON the case from the Fourth
West Virginia District. Two re-
ports, however, have been made.
The majority is in favor of Charles
B. Smith, republican, and the minor
ity for ]. NJ. Jackson, democrat. 1t
seems that Gov. Wilson gave Jack
son the certificate, holding that
1.-TWO" or tive" was an abbreviation
of twelve, and thus reversed . re-
publican majority. The majority of
the committee think otherwise, and
the two reports will carry the con
test into the House, to be fought out
and decided.

stock is fixed at $4,000 and the in
corporators are Charles w. Humric-

speaker did not waste any time at

got right down to work and his
whole speech was one of good CON-

audience seemed to enjoy the lecture
highly, and gave the speaker their

the Sabbath as a rest day, and hope
that much good may be done
through him in that direction.

SENATOR ROBERT CARR, has the
honor of having obtained the passage
of the first bill through the present
session of the legislature. The bill
was one regulating the construction
of bridges over the Ohio, Big Kama
wha and Big Sandy rivers. The bill
provides, that none of these bridges
shall have channel span of less than
400 feet, or an elevation above low
water mark Of less than IS feet. The
bill was passed on its first, second
and third readings, transmitted to
the House, the rules suspended and
passed there within about an hour.
Let others be as expeditions, and the
taxpayers money will be saved.

A Lunatic on Board.

Conductor Edward r. Russell
runs train on the New York, Onta-
rio and Western Road between Nor
WITCH and Middletown. On Thurs
day night his train had just pulled
out of Walton when the whistle
sounded and the train came to sud-
den stop. Conductor Russell hur-
ried to the rear door of the last car
and there beheld an object that made
his hair rise. The door of the rear
coach, which was occupied by few
sleepy passengers, was wide open,
and just inside stood a being with
out-stretched arms, disheveled hair,
wild eyes, and clothed in naught save
portion of its underclothing. Rus
sell saw that he had q maniac on
board. The lunatic aimed blow at
the conductor, who evaded it. Then
the fellow commanded him to hold
the train so they might dig for gold,
which he said was buried there along
side the track. Russell humored his
unwelcome passenger until they
reached Sydney, where the man was
put off after severe struggle. The
man proved to be Frank Alvord, of
Sydney, who had undressed himself
in the Walton depot and tagged the
train.-St. Louis Republic.

Four at a lime.

A telegram transmitted to Cover
nor Ross, of Arkansas, from Texar-
kama, on the 18th inst, to the effect
that Mrs. Page, of that place, had
just given birth to four fine girls,
and the mother and babes were all
doing well, was no canard, but an
actual fact. The attending physici-
an, who resides in Texarkana, re.
ports that the mother and babes are
doing well.
The people here cannot divine the
object in telegraphing the event to
the governor, unless it is to having
the State militia called out.
Mrs. Page had twins by her former
husband and once by her present
husband, making eight children at
three birth. The ladies have formed
sewing society for the occasion,
and large quantity of infants wear
ing apparel and soothing syrup will
be forwarded to the little ones.

Too Polite.

Old Judfe Farnald, of Santa Bar
bara, has the reputation of being the
politest man in California. He never
loses an opportunity to doff his hat
or to offer some slight attention to
wayfaring men and women. One
day, as he was about to take the
train for San Francisco, he reached
the rear steps of the last car jost as
they were approached by a young
priest. "After the CLOTH" said the
chivalric judge, stepping back with a
courtly bow. "Gray hairs have the
preference" returned the priest
with a splendid wave of the hand.
''The church always has precedence"
retorted the Judge, taking another
backward step, hat in hand. "The
church follows in the footsteps of
the fathers" replied the priest, bow
ing low, and indicating the way to
the steps. The duel of politeness
was not half through, neither yield
ing an inch, when the train pulled
out, leaving both bowling and smiling
on the platform.-Sp Springfield Repub-
lican.

A Tiny Bit of a Railroad.

The most diminutive railroad in
all Down East is that owned and OPP
Grated by the Monsoon Main Slate
Company, running from the compa-
ny's quarries to Monsoon Junction,
on the Bangor and Piscataquis. This
little railroad has a two-foot gauge,
is about six miles in length, and is
thoroughly equipped with locomo-
tives, passenger, baggage and freight
cars, has several stations, regular
time tables and superintendent.
The superintendent is also conduc-
tor, baggage-master, mail agent, pas
senger and freight brakeman, news
agent and director-a regular Pooh
Bah-and for performing all these
offices he gets 5000 a year. Ten men
constitute the entire force of the road.
The trains average about fifty miles
day in summer and twenty five
miles in winter. The road is all
down hill one way, so that car will
run from the quarries to the junction
without the assistance of a locomo-
tive. fla passenger misses the reg.
ular train, five dollars will secure a
special to carry him over the line.
Last year this toy railroad carried
5000 tons Of the company's freight
to Monson Junction (six tons to a
carr for transhipment over the Ban
gor and Piscataquis to Bangor and
points west, and 1900 passengers,
who paid $l2 900 in fares, were trans.
ported at a cost of $4,000. This lit,
tie road has been in operation six
years, and in all that time no acct
dent of any kind has occurred on its
line.
