occasion to refute the statements made to
the Holy See that the spiritual condition and
needs of the foreign-speaking Catholics in
the United States were not properly pro-
vided for. He said, in part: 81 venture
to say that the hierarchy of no country in
the world are paying more attention to the
spiritual wants of fOreign-bOrn Catholic
people than are the prelates of the
United States. They are earnestly
endeavOring to have the gospel preached to
them in their native tongue during the
transition period which occurs before they
are absorbed into the great Engish-speak-
ing world around them. Paris has long
had a colony Of German and English
speaking Catholics; Vienna and Berlin
have also large populations of French and
English and other natiOnalities. The city
of Rio in Brazil contains also large popu-
lation of Catholics who do not speak
the Portuguese language of the coun-
try, and vet in these great centers,
if | am correctly informed, little or no pro-
vision is made for foreign Catholic people.

Japanese Rogues Who Can Steal Fror
Gold Eagles

Japanese Rogues Who Can Steal From
Gold Eagles.
The methods OF the Japanese, who, for
the purpose Of defIauding the Government,
will spend days on the scOoping out of a
small silver coin, which he eventually fills
with baser metal, are much improved on in
these progressive days. A large number of
sh0rt-weight coins are in circulation, and
the frequency with which they are met with
has led to investigations which show that
there has been for some time systematic
scheme for robbing the Government by
stealing metal FROM the coins, says the
PIt;sburg Dispatch.
Some years ago q series of tests were
made by the Government for the purpose of
defining the actual loss by abrasion in the
moving of gold coins. 1t was found that So
was lost by abrasion every time 1000, 600
in gold coin was handled. Bags containing
5000 each were lifted TO truck to be re-
moved to another vault and the mere lift
ing of 200 bags caused the loss stated, and
their transfer from the truck again made
second similar loss.
This shows how readily gold can be re-
moved from the coUS, but this method is
much too slow for the clever rogues, who
realize the value of scientific appliances.
The work OF abrasion is now done by cleo
trcty, after the manner of electroplatlng of
gold. An ordinary galvanic battery and
some cheap acid is procured. The coin is
placed in the fluid and attached to it are
wires from the poles of the battery lead
ing to another piece of metal prepared
to receive, in the form Of plating the metal
to be remoyed from the coin. Sufficient
gold to form plate is quickly transferred,
and, as it is removed uniformly from ali
parts of the coin, the liability of disfgure-
ment is reduced to minimum, the only ef-
feet being to blur the characters slightly.
In this way about 30 cents worth Of gold
can be removed from ten-dOllar gold
piece without very marked change in the
appearance of the coin. The eye of an ex-
pert, however, detects the alteration at
glance. One of the employees in the New
York Sub Treasury is said to have become
so skilled in this branch of the work by
years OF experience that he can tell by mere
touch, with closed eyes whether piece is
spurious metal or has been tampered with.
1t is stated that the sweating of gold by
electricity in this country is practiced al
most entirely by foreign swindlers whohave
been driven from their own country for SIM

SEATTLE, June 28-The threat of the
Oregon Improvement Company to put
negroes in it's mines at Newcastle in place
of the striking white men was carried out
to- day. At o'clock this morning the
company sent a special train into New
castle with eighty black men from its
Franklin mine, and had them guarded by
fifteen Sullivan men. When they arrived
the strikers were all asleep and off their
guard.
At Gilman the strikers are maintaining
their armed organizations known as the
"HOme Guard" and drill daily. The Sulli-
van men patrol the company's domains day
and night to protect the property, while the
Deputy Sheriffs watch both factions and
try to avert trouble.
The Seattle Coal and Supply Company
will take in force of men in few days
and will start up their mines. They will
probably be protected by the civil authori-
ties. but serious trouble Is almost inevitable.
A special to the P0st-lutelligencer from
Franklin says that the white strikers, an
gered at the action of the Oregon Improve
ment Company in taking negroes to work
the Newcastle mine, started to clean out the
negros' camp tonight. In the scrimmage
four persons were killed, but it is not known
of which faction. Deputy Sheriff Stretch
who has been at the scene for the past four
weeks has called for the militia, and two

The scepter Of the Mosquito King has

plush velvet cap and a lining of soiled
chamois skin. The silver is beaten out into
twelve conventional oak leaves, with a

British clubs were trumps, there are
two beaded lines with spaces in the circlet

for demijohns of bad whiskey consumed by

Ben Hurd, Pennsylvania WoOdsman,
Has Narrow Escape.
A party of gentlemen, who have just re-

Creek, tell Of the startling adventure last
Thursday OF Ben Hurd, woodsman, living
in the Black Forest, says a Williamsp0rt
special TO the Baltimore American.
The region close to where Hurd lives es-
capped the ravages of the forest fires this
spring and for that reason the neighborhOod
is now infested with wild animals VINO
sought refuge from the fires.
On TnuI sday morning, as Hurd and his
daughter were some distance from home
looking after the prospects Of the buckle
berry crop, they came upon bear and her
three cubs. She at once assumed the often
sive and made for Hurd. who was unarmed.
The girl, frightened nearly out Of her wits,
started for a bark peeers' camp further up
the mountain for help.
When she reached the camp. nearly ex-
hausted by her fearful run, she could
scarcely tell the location OF the fight that
was then going on between the man and
bear. James Callhan understood enough of
the disconnected story, and Immediately
FASTENED to the rescue. He grabbed bark
peele:'s ak and ran. AS he neared the spot
he gave loud cry. which Hurd family
answered.
Calihan was just In time, for when he
came upon them the bear mad Hurd in her
deadly embrace, with every bit of clothing
torn from his body. CallIhan dashed at the
bear with his uplifted ak The blow caught
the monster in the back. and the bear was
dead in few minutes Hurd was so weak
ened with the loss OF blood and from his
desperate fight that he fell in a Swoon.
Several others came from the camp, and
Hurd was fixed out with enough wearing
apparel to get home. The old bear and the
cubs were subsequently carried into camp
Hurd has almost recovered from the effects
of the fright, but the narrow escape is
vividly impressed upon his mind.
