CATHOLIC CENSUS.
In Number of COMMITMENTS Boston

The Catholic census is very import
ant and interesting contribution to our
religious information.
The third bulletin of church statistics
published by the government gives no
tables of the Roman Catholic Church.
While heretofore the Catholic year
books have given only the population,
IuCIuuIuy I1IfuIIUS Una ,.si-S.-t.Si-I r-e.-.
sons, as we'll as communicates, the CEN
sus gives the number of communicates,
making the returns for the Roman
Catholic Church uniform with those OF
Protestant denominations. For the
first time we have now an authorita-
tive statement Of the number OF com
municants in the various Catholic
diOceSeS.
1t will be seen by this that the Catho-
lie Church in the United States is body
of gigantic proportions. It's churches
are scattered throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The old New Eng
land of the Puritans is now the New
England Of the Catholics. The ecclesi-
astical province of Boston, which re-
ports 1,OO4 COS communicates, is next,
numerically, to the province OF New
York, which has 1875. 404 communi-
cants. The grand totals of the church
are on magnificent scale. There are
1921 church organizations, s,765
church edifces, with seating capacity
of 3, 366, 633, valued at Sis, SS1, $40, and
$3.50, O45 communicates.
This is more than half Of all the Pro-
testant denominations combined, which
in 1880 numbered 1O,O65, 963 communi-
cantS.

An Illinois man VINO Thinks ne ddSn
ANY Stomach.
JACKSONVILLE, ILL, August 3.-The
charges against the Insane Hospital in
this city for cruelty towards VIM.
Thompson OF Hancock county, have
created a decided sensation here, and
number of persons have gone out to
look into the matter and have been per-
mitted to talk with Thompson, who con-
verses as inteligentlY as any person.
He is very anxious TO get home, for he
feels he does not belong among crazy
people. He says the doctors are turn
ing him into an animal and have already
deprived him of his heart, lungs and
stomach, and he cannot eat any meat
as all they have is human flesh and he
can't digest it without a stomach. His
hands, too, were fast changing into the
paws of an animal, ne thought.
His task has been to clean and wiring
the clothes used on the wax floors, and
he says he has been forced roughly to
do this, though the rules of the institu-
ton forbid it. DR.. Carrie, the Super
intendent, goes through the whole build
ing every week and the ward physician
every day.
Both were out of town when Thomp-
sons brother was there, and the phys
ician in charge had been transferred
from the ward four years before. There
is no distinction in the reception of pau
per or pay patients. Hancock county
has about half and half. The State
takes nothing from anyone for board.

There were few teachers present VINO
did not at some time during the lnsti-

congratulate the people OF ONO ana au-
Joining Counties upon the prosperity

allowed to 90 on the same as holidays.
Second-That we endorse the course
of study for district schools prepared Dy
Superintendent Morgan, and that we
recommend its adoption in all ungraoeo
schools of the State.
Third-That the Office of County SUI
perintendent should be invested with
more power, and the salary increased SO
as to Justify the Superintendent in CIV
ing his whole time to his official duties.

aim to improve themselves so 1t may
Justify the Board of Education in giving
increased salaries.
Fifth-That as it has pleased an all
wise Providence to remove by death two

their bereaved friends.

STAYING THE HAND OF DEATH.
A Certain and Rapid Means of Resuscita-
ting Persons.



ting Persons.
London ChroBtcEe.
Colonel Henry Elsdale OF the hoyai
Engineers claims to have discovered
certain and rapid means OF resuscita'
ting persons from the effects OF suffoca-
ton. A sapper among the men undef
his command at Chatham was one day
found enveloped in the folds OF a hall
empty war balloon. The coal gas with
which il had been inflated had suito-
Gated him, and to all appearances ne
was dead man. But efforts were
made to restore him, though the pulse
less heart and cadaverous face OF the
man gave no encouragement 10 per
severe. In a moment OF something IKE
inspiration it occurred to Colonel Els
dale to send for some tubes OF COM
pressed oxygen, which had been pre-
pared for the oxyhydrogen light.
This pure oxygen, at a very hlgn
pressure, was hurriedly conveyed into
the mouth of the PROSTATE sapper oy
means of inserting the nozzle OF the
valve between his teeth, and the supply
was ''gently turned on" to the smallest
extent. The effect was absolutely in
Simultaneous. In an instant he opened
his eyes and seized the nozzle between
his teeth. In short, the sapper was not
only thoroughly revived within a few
minutes, but in half an hour walked
away, quite well, to the barracks ana
refused to go to the military hospital,
as was suggested by his commanding
officer.
OF course, the objection will be raised
that everybody has not tubes of pure
oxygen at high pressure in readiness to
Apply to such cases. Happily oxygen
in quantities as large as those admins
tered is not needed, and 1t can be stored
'in small, strong bottles made or the
finest steel, with valve giving an aoso-
lutte hermetic seal" These vessels may
be as small as soda water bottles, and
NAV be made part of the medical stock
of every doctor. Oxygen at any degree
of compression required can, in fact,
now be obtained, and the whole appara-
tus for restoring vitality can be packed
in a small box quite portable.
What possibilities may not such dis
covery as that to which we have drawn
attention involve! 1t is equally avail
able, we are assured, for those persons
who have been asphyxiated by choke
damp in coal mines, or by ordinary coal
gas. People apparently drowned, ana
those insensible from long exposure in
the rigging of ship, might also be
saved from an untimely end by what
Colonel Elsdale calls 'a dose OF oxy-
gen."
1t would probably be Invaluable, too,
in cases of suffocation from the fumes Of
charcoal, or in cases where chloroform
had operated lnjuriously on weak
heart. Such a discovery should at
once occupy the attention of the Royal
College of Physicians, with view Of as
certaining whether Colonel Elsdale has
overrated the beneficent effects to be an
ticipated from the admiration OF pure
oxygen.

Opening Letters by Law.

Il noticed a short time ago." said a
Washington official, that some objec-
ton was made by a Mr.. Pell, Of the San
Domingo Shore Line road, to the open
ing of a private letter by the chief of the
secret service bureau. It is not generally
known that the rules of the postoffce
department empower inspectors to open
suspicious letters at discretion. The
public appear to be very much astonished
at this proceeding mentioned, but l assure
you that it is carried to a greater extent
than wen those who know all about it
suppose. In fact, under the rules of the
postofice department almost any private
letter can be opened and read. This will
surprise some people, | presume, but it
is nevertheless true, and a reference to
the private instructions to p~ostofice in
spectors, which are in printed form, will
convince anybody of it. Whether such
secret privileges are ever used illegiti-
mately would be difficult to find put 1t
is a good deal like arresting a man on sus-
piciOn. AS d matter of fact, therefore,
you will see the United States mails are
no more sacred than the mails in Russia
or any other country SO far as govern
ment espionage is concerned."-New

Mems ClOfhes,

Men are becoming as bad as women
for the adoption Of strange and uncom-
Portable fashions in clothing" said a
Fifth avenue custom tailor, land they
need dress reform preached to them al
most as much as the feminine sex. Take
the high collars that are in vogue, and
which are worn higher than ever this
fall. They almost strangle n and chafe
the skin until it is sore. Between the
heavy, hot beaver hat and the tight col
lar, badness is becoming rampant in our
cities. The high, tight collar has as
much to do with causing badness as any
other n thing. Then the modern style
of fitting the clothes forces US to make
them tight and snug all around, and this
prevents one from really enjoying life.
Tight patent leather shoes sweat and
pinch the feet until walking is a painful
exercise. Every time l see a dude with
all Of the latest style of modern clothes
| pity him, and wonder that he submits
to such voluntary torture. l car assure
you that if his clothes fit him he is mis-,
cradle. The old adage that If a mans
clothes don't fit him he is uncomfort-
able has been reversed New York
Times.
