CHICAGO, Aug. There is danger
of coal famine in the West this winter
the railroad men say. The reasons for
this are explained in an order of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
way, which has been issued by the gen.
eral freight agent, in which all agents
of the road are instructed to urge coal
dealers to lay in their fuel early, because
on account of the enormous wheat crop
it is likely to be impossible to supply
cars as fast as they will be needed.

mine in few days.

GlBBoNs INTERVIEWED.

The Baltimore Cardinal Has Something
TO Say an the Subject.
BALTIMORE, Aug. Ia reporter Of
The Sun called on his eminence, Car
dinal Gibbons, in relation to the con-
troversy between the bureau of Catholic
Indian missions and the commissioner Of
Indian affairs. The cardinal said: ~I
have given the subject of the Catholic
Indian bureau In its relations to the In
terror department much anxious thought
during the last two weeks and I,have
taken all the information that could be
obtained from the best and most relia-
BILE sources. Mr.. Morgan has thought
1t advisG bic for the more effective ex-
pediting of business in his department
to have all contracts for schools signed
by the several superintendents of such
schools rather than by the director Of
the Catholic bureau as heretofore prac-
ticed. | do not see how this change
can in any manner affect the real in
terest of the indians, and therefore it is
point which should not disturb us.
The bureau of Catholic Indian missions
Is still In position to labor in many
fields OF usefulness. In fact the signing
of contracts was not originally COM
prised In the scope OF its work. At my
request and in obedience to his own
hearty sympathy for the Indians, the
archbishop Of Sc. Paul paid q visit to
Mr. Morgan. The commissioner re-
ceived him most kindly and gave him
ample and positive assurances of his
disposition and intention to treat the
Catholic Indian schools with equity and
generosity.
MIR. Morgan Promised
that all of last years contracts shall be
continued and furthermore in view of
new applications recently made to him,
ne 10, ne said, appropriating an addi-
tional sum OF $40, ,00o over and above
the amounts heretofore assigned, for
the support of Catholic Indian schools.
Archbishop Ireland is personally salts
ned that Mr.. Morgans ASSURANCES will be
carried out, and is delighted with the
result OF his interview. / have every
reason to believe that the president and
secretary of the interior are kindly dis
posed toward the Catholic Indian
schools. Indeed on this point speak
advisedly. There can be NO doubt but
what they will treat these schools in a
just manner. We should remember
that men in high places have conflicting
interests to subserve, and they are re-
quired to consider the views and de-
mands not of section Of the COM
munity, but of the entire people.
Catholics have many reasons to thank
God for the blessings they enjoy as
citizens of the United States. It is but
just to say, in conclusion, that the
bureau of Catholic Indian missions has
never obtained for itself or for any one
OF its emyloyes one cent of the govern
ment money. The checks 1t has been
receiving from the treasury of the
United States were immediately in
dorsed over to the superintendents of
the respective schools. Its own ex-
penses have been entirely betrayed by
private contributions.

STATUS or HALF BREEDS.
The Status of the Children Follows That
OF the Father.

UN TIC EAIH@E.
PIERRE, Aug. LIS. D., July 3l.-
Considerable comment has been aroused
over the recent decision Of the United
States court in regard to the status Of
children born of Indian women and
white or citizen husbands. The case in
question was that of United States vs.
Ward, on the charge of selling liquor to
a half breed. The evidence was that
the half breed in question had a negro
father who was q citizen and an Indian
mother. The decision Of the court Is
that the children of these parents fol-
low the status OF their father, and hence
are citizens of the United States and
amenable only to it's laws. The dsnart-
ment officials at Washington have al
ways held to the contrary.

Ben Franklin once made the
statement, Schools teach us the rudi.

US how to think; therefore, no man
is truly educated unless he is a rea-
der Of books" Ben was right, but
he lived in an age when books were
SO scarce, comparatively speaking,
that but little of the pernicious in
literature was tolerated. But in
these days it is different. Your boys
thirst for a knowledge of the world
and if you don't give them some
wholesome reading to slake that
thirst. they will get hold of cheap,
sensat tional stories that will poison
their minds and do them terrible
injury.
There is such a vast amount Of
this trashy stuff being poured into
the market at the present.time, that
it is relief to pick up a new book
that is at once thrilling, romantic,
wholesome, pure and true.

Allan, Of the parish Of lberville, be.

This address shows that the Senator
is well read in history and that be is
an orator Of no ordinary ability. He
solves the negro problem thus He
advises the colored people to regard
the Southern white people as their
best friends, to give their children
practical education and to devote
themselves to the mechanical arts
and to agriculture. This is good
advice, and If the negroes will do as
they are advised by Mr.. Allan. they
will become prosperous and will live
on friendly terms with their white
