man on Clifford street for something to eat
she replied:

"But what have you to dor"
Nothing, really, but you get that snow
shovel from the shed and go out and pre-
tend that there's foot of snow on the walk.
Go through the motions, anyhow"
The fellow saw the humor of the situa-
ton, and he piled the shovel so vigorously
that at the END of twenty minutes he had a
crowd of thirty people looking at him.
"Snow all cleaned off, ma'am," he re-
ported at the door.

the hope of being reinstated as satrap of
the conqueror. OF course he had tools at
work in Athens, and hence Miltiades be-
ieved that what might be gained by delay
in the field would be lost in giving time for
plotters to get up fire in the rear.
The ten generals were evenly divided, and
in such emergencies the war ruler had the
deciding vote. That Office was filled by an
Athenian noble, Callimaehus, who was list
ening gravely to the discussion of the gen
erals. Miltiades appealed to him with some
what blunt, but forcible eloquence, to vote
for an offensive policy. sit now rests with
you, Callimachus," he said, "either to en-
slave Athens, or, by assuring her freedom,
to win for yourself immortality of fame,
such as not even Harmodius and Aristo-
geiton have acquired; for never since the
Athenians were people were they in such
danger as they are at this moment. If they
bow the knee to these Medes they are to be
given up to Hippias, and you know what
they then will have to suffer. But If Athens
comes victorious out of this contest she
has it in her to become the first city of
Greece. Your vote is to decide whetherwe
are to join battle or not. If we do not bring
on battle presently some factious intrigue
will disunite the Athenians and the city
will be betrayed to the Modes. But if we
fight before there is anything rotten in the
state of Athens, / believe that, provided
the gods will give fair play and no favor,
we are able to get the best of it in an en-
gagement"
Callimachus was won, and the other gen
wIuu DeIore Jney get into action, would
not apply to Athenians, who were trained
runners from youth. Pompey in his time
held to this objection, but Caesar believed
that running excited the soldiers courage
and gave force to their blows.
The Persian army was composed of many
mongrel hordes, nevertheless it had sub
stantial force of disciplined men under able
leaders. The rush of the Athenians took
all by surprise, and the irregulars, who
acted as mounted men, did not have time
to get in line. The Greeks were heavily
equipped, bearing spears, helmets, breast
plates, shields, greaves and short swords.
The Persians had no armor and only
wicker shields, with short lances and
cimeters for weapons. The shock of the
first attack broke down the front line of
Persians, but they rallied and set to work
to retrieve, individually and by weight of
numbers, what they had lost in the sur
prise. The best Persian troops were in the
center. and they succeeded in not only re-
pulsing the Greek center, but in driving it
back across the plain up valley that di-
vided the mountain side. The Greek wings,
however, had been successful, and had
routed everything opposed to them. This
was the turning point, and the faith of
sMiltiades in the organization of his sol
diery was justified.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
victorious soldiers rush wildly in pursuit
and go too far Such a mistake at Mara
thon would have changed the history of the
world. But the Greeks in both TANKS

American Catholics Protest.

BALTIMORE, June 17.-Copies of the
resolutions adopted by the American
Catholic Clerical Union which recently
met in secret session in Milwaukee have
been received here by leading ecclesias-
tics closely identified with Cardinal Glib
bons, and their tone has given consider,
able satisfaction, especially as it is in full
accord with the views of the Lucerne
movement recently semi-oflicislly ex.
pressed in behalf of the cardinal. The
resolutions strongly protest against the
foreign movement declaring that no spec
ial recognition OF distinct nationslities by
the government of the church in this
country should be given insomuch as it
would give the church foreign aspect
and render it not only an object of sus-
picion, but absolutely odious, that the
rights of American Catholics in this
country are paramount to all others, and
that their welfare should first be consulted
and their spiritual wants supplied, that the
Catholics Of the United States are abund-
antly able and determined to manage
their own affairs, and that all liberty low
ing Americans should protest against any
interference of agents Of foreign organiza-
tions whether they be official or unofficial.
The substance of the resolutions has been
cabled to the vatican.

How IT. &C. Ca" CURED

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures 1t has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
hlous sore neck from the time shewas 22months
old till she became six years Of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and ono Of them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became
a arunning sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared and now she seems to be a healthy

existence OF large river further east and
north, but where the river ran there was
no positive knowledge. So the little band
proceeded onward, following the Conchos,
avoiding successfully every collision with
the rowing Indians with whom they came
in contact. The soldiers were on horse
back, the friars walked. 1t was tedious
and painful march through burning sands
and under scorching sun. At last they
struck large river which they called
'Rio de Guadalquivir." That river was
the Rio Grande. The point where they
reached its banks lay short distance
above its junction with the Conchos.
Thence they followed the great stream
upwards, to the north. 1t was natural
guide. For twenty weary days they
marched along the Rio Grande without
meeting soul only now and then seeing
traces of the passage of Indians.
The last settled Indians whom they
had encountered had been near the
junction of the Conchos with the Rio
Grande IN Chihuahua. These Indians
lived in dwellings of more permanent
character than the lodges OF the abort
gines around Santa Barbara. They we're
the Jumanos, tribe which has not dis.
appeared, but which as late as the past
century, played aconsiderable part in the
ethnography of the southwest. After the
little party had left the Jumanos, no signs
of settlements struck their eve .pntil the
iIontIl vi August, 1881, When they sud-
denly came upon village which they
describe as consisting of houses made OF
mud [adobel mortar, two stories high
the inhabitants of which dressed in cot
ton, with shirts of the same material,
and they received news that, on both
sides OF the river, there were many other
pueblos OF the same nation" Thus the
reports of the Conchos Indians had be-
come confirmed. The discoverers (for
as such they considered themselves) ex-
ulted over it. They named the village
"Santa Felipe" and to the country they
gave the name of New Mexico. Fray
Marcos of Nizza, forty-two years previous,
had called it the "New Kingdom of Saint
Francis" Coronado, one year after him,
"Kingdom of New Granada" Each of
them had taken possession OF it (although
in different section than that visited by
Chamuscado and the three friars) in the
name of the king of Spain. The new
corners did the same. Strange it is that,
while the expedition had no permanent
results-at least not directly-the name
given by them to the territory has re-
malned whereas the other names have
dropped into oblivion.

New YORK, June 27.-The case of Sarah
MCGOWAN, who seeks authority from
Archbishop Corrigan to institute suit
for divorce against her husband, has been
placed in the hands of Rev. DR.. McGyrk,
of st. Paul's, whose office in this diocese
is that of defender of the marriage
tie." Mrs. MCGOWAN, who is only 20
years OF age, comes of wealthy family.
She is rich in her own right, having been
left quarter OF million dollars a few
years ago by her grandfather, John Nc
Crane, the wealthy contractor. Ex-
Congressman John Hardy was her
guardian up to the time of her marriage.
This event took place last October, her
husband being Tom MCGOWAN, a young
and well-to.do real estate man. At one
time it was said that she was engaged to
Mayor Grant. The young couple lived
happily enough for a few months, and
then their domestic harmony was broken.
For some time past they have lived
apart. The husband is as wealthy as the
wife. Both are good Catholics and dread
resort to the courts without the au-
thority OF the church. The wife claims
that she was insane at the time of the
marriage and that she did not realize
what she was doing until some time

which declares that the agricultural

New Silver Dollars.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Atter the cabi-
net meeting yesterday Secretary Foster
made the following statement in regard to
the silver question. After full and care
full consideration of the law relating to the
coinage of silver Secretary Foster finds
that the act of March 3, 1891, requires
that the secretary shall, as soon as prac-
ticable, coin the trade dollar bars into
silver dollars. He also finds that $3.50, 900
has been appropriated for the recoinage
of the subsidiary silver coin into such de-
nominations as shall best serve to give it
circulation. There Is a constant demand
for small coins, principally dimes, which
the mints have not been able to supply
The secretary of the treasury has decided
that his first duty in this matter is to obey
the direction of congress. Congress has
ordered the coinage Of the trade dollar
bars into standard silver dollars. The
coinage of the trade dollars in this man
nar will transform what cost IS ,027 ,7o5
into S., l4S,2Sl standard dollars.

Yesterday was the hottest day Of the

The sun has been ebscured by clouds

the moist condition of the ground from re-
