Nineteenth Century Progress.


1t was In a mission Sunday school where
the teachers were young and pretty girls
from the Back Bay and the pupils little
children from the colored district. 1t was
the last day before the summer vacation
and the teacher was distributing the mite
boxes" She noticed that one small child
looked very much detected and she bent
down to hear the objection which she felt
was there to the mite box" The little
one lisped that they had just filled one

what a pretty one 1t Is. and i want to see
who will save the most pennies for the poor

The little one did not look encouraged.
She held the box away from her with evil

eyes, confessed:

will not be turned out until several weeks
later. The directors had hoped to have
100000 OF the souvenirs In Chicago during
dedication week. but the long delay Ia
selecting design made it impossible for
them to get the coins here in time to take
advantage Of that opportunity to sell them
to visitors.
The greatest secrecy h as been observed in
regard TO the design on the coin. Nobody,
except mem bers of the finance committee,
was permitted to see the finished model
after 1t came from Artist Warmers hands.
During the session of the National Com
mission badges were presented to all the
members by the ceremonies committee of
the Chicago board. These badges bear sub
stantially the same design as will appear on
the souvenirs. The profile of Columbus,
which appears on the diverse side, is the
same that Artist Warner first submitted for
the coins. At the suggestion of Director
Leech of the mint hat has been put on the
admirafs abundant locks, but no other
changes have been made in the profile. The
words Columbian Souvenir Half-dollar"
will appear on the coin. The likeness of
Columbus is an ideal one to an extent.
The profile was made from a study of the
naviga tor as he is represented by the Lotto
portrait. which Is almost n full-face view.
On the reverse side of the badge given 10

Archbishop Ireland on the Letter OF
Judge Dunno.
ROME, March 5.-ln speaking to-day OF
the appeal OF some Catholics in the United
States from the decision OF the archbishops
in reference to the proposed Catholic cou-
gress in Chicago during the progress OF the
worlds fair in that city, Most Rev. John
Ireland, d. D.; archbishop of ST.
Paul, Mimi, who is now In Rome,
said; "'rhe whole matter is tempest
in teapot. Anybody may serd
letter to Rome on any subject. Whether
the communication receives attention, how
ever, Is quite another question. Certain peo-
pie attain In their own fancies Importance
which the outer world refuses TO indorse.
The letter sent by Messrs. Dune,
will not create the slightest
ripple in the stream Of current Roman
ecclesiastical thought. There are waste
baskets in Rome as we'll as Ia tho United
States The idea Is absurd that an appeal
bya few disgruntled, selt.conceited men
against the decisions Of arohbishops will be
listened to in Rome.
THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.
"The Catholic congress, from the very
name 10 bears, must be directed by the
Catholic hierarchy, or else be q congl ess OF
Judge Dunno and others, and nothing
more. They are free TO hold congresses OF
this kind In our free country, but In no
wise represent the Catholic laymon OF
America. The laymen are satisfied that In

laity have been respected Judge

ifestly some other design in their minds
than that OF putting the Catholic congress
in shape. Mr.. Dunno is to be congratulated

ment Of the Catholics OF America"

DR. vISCENT'S STATEMENT.
At the conclusion of this consultation,
and after a critical examination of his
patient, DR.. Vincent made the following
statement to the Associated Press: The
condition Of Mr.. Springer is very much i'm
proved, and while / might say that he is
practically out of danger, yet as a matter
Of fact, founded upon professional expert
ence, a man is not out Of danger in a case
OF this kind until he passes the stage where
be several days before Mr.. Springer
passes that point, as he must build
up his lost strength and vigor. He is SO
completely prostrated now that every little
imprudence or slight mistake would cause a
relapse which might prove fatal The
metnod or treatment OF the Washington
physicians, want TO say, has been in per-
feet accord with my own views and the
case. in my opinion, has been well handled
throughout. Everything has been done
that could be done, or that
could be safely suggested by science,
and there is a perfect agreement aud con-
currence of opinion between myself and the
attending physicians.
AN IMPROVEMENT AT NIGHT.
During the afternoon Mr.. Springer slept
quietly, and tonight bis condition 10 re-
ported by his family physician to be un-
changed. The nervous cough that has been
troubling him is less violent and his diSposi-
ton to sleep peacefully is more
apparent that it was earlier In the day.
While there has been no particular change
in his condition since morning, his physi-
clan thinks that be is, IL anything, better

Russ1A,s LACK OF FOOD.
The Tyranny OF the Village Commune
Toward the Peasants.

ToWarQ tue FSaSantS-
LONDON, March 5.-A special correspond
ent Of the Reuter- Telegram Company trav-
cling through the famine-stricken district
of Russia sends a long letter under date Of
Saratov, Feb. 81. Following are its most
striking passages: The thirty-six pounds OF
corn which the Semtyos gives every month
hardly suffice to keep the people alive. They
are already becoming bloated and i'll from
the effects of bad food, and the appearance
OF the children especially is heart-rending.
Many deaths have occurred which would
In England, be set down to starvation, but
an order has gone forth that nobody shall
die of starvation in Russia, this year at
least, and SO the doctors put deaths down to
paralysis Of the heart and similar causes,
when weakness resulting from inanition is
the true one.
THE VILLAGE COMMUNE.
One OF the most grievous forms in which
the tyranny of the village commune is felt
at present is the system upon which loans
of bread and food which the Weather
peasants make to poorer ones to enable the
latter to tide over the days of starvation,
which set in at the ens OF the month after
the government advances of -four
have been consumed. These loans the
poor peasants have to repay
as soon as they receive the following
months provisions, and prompt repayment
is inforced by the community. Yet the
government relief leaves no margin for such
repayment. The Staresta, or elder, is him.
self terrorized by the community aud forced
to return on his list of destitute persons, not
those whom he considers really necessitous,
but those who insist upon being returned.
Thus it frequently happens that well-to-do
and independent peasants received aid,
while the really poor are passed over.
