Attendance on Paroohia Schools Not ocmpul-
sorry.
Yesterday, for the first time in six
years, W. S. Bowen, of West Chester,
Pa, occupied his old pew in st. Ag-
ness Catholic Church, from which he
was excluded by the pastor, Rev. s. b.
Spalding, because Mr.. Bowen insisted
upon sending his boy to the public
schools. The pew was restored to him
by the same rector, acting under in
structions which he last week received
from Monsignor Satolli, the papal dele
gate. The case is the first in this
country where the church has reversed
the decision of a priest that all Catho-
lie children must attend the Catholic
parish school under pain Of the sacra-
ments being denied the parents who
refused to send their children to the
parish schools ana of vacating their
pews in the church. Monsignor Sa-
TOLLS instructions, as understood by
those who have given the matter at
tention, are that Catholic parents, ali
things being equal, should send their
children to the parish schools, provid-
ing these schools were equal in point
of merit to the public schools, but UNI
der no consideration were the parents
to be excluded from the sacraments of
the church or pews taken from them
for refusing to do so.

The Result of DARK streets-What Do the Council
Mean
Last night while on his way home
from his place of business, Mr.. Jno.
w. Pitzer fell on the pavement in
front of Mr.. E. w. Poole's store, re-
ceiving badly cut hand, and other
painful injuries. Mr.. Pitzer said this
morning that unless the city council
soon makes arrangements to renew
the street lights, that the inevitable
consequence will be a big damage suit
from some quarter. What is the trou-
BILE? Why can't we have our streets
lighted as other towns much smaller
than ours? The nights are very dark.
When merchants close their stores at
late hour and start homeward they
have no assurance that they will reach
home safe and sound; what with dark
streets and uneven pavements, it is no
easy matter to stumble along and turn
up at home safely.
Then the danger from ruf1ans and
footpads is no small matter. How
easy it would be to sneak up in the
darkness behind man and strike him
a stunning blow. Besides our wives
and daughters cannot go out on the
street in safety. In Gods name, what
a risk! What can a level headed,
cool, considerate body Of ten men who
compose the council of a city of 5000
inhabitants mean by depriving our
citizens and taxpayers of the light
and protection they pay taxes for ?
Will the Honorable Mayor and mem
bers Of the council kindly take the
matter under careful consideration and
provide the means for furnishing light
ing for the town

WHY NOT SUBSCRIBE.

Examine it carefully-compare
its county correspondence, To-
cal, miscellaneous, and tele-

competitors. Also consider the
fact that THE WORLDS regular
priceis $1.00, and that the price
of its competitors is S1.50 if
you pay in advance, and $500
if you pay at the end of the
year. What difference ! Then
compare the size of the papers,
and their general appearance
and makeup. VIII you not
agree that The WORLD is far
superior and cheaper in every
respect Yet, a special offer
of a years subscription for

is this-THE WORLD is the only
daily paper in the county, and
the entire expense is in the
publication of it. The cream
of the daily news is saved for
the weekly addition, thereby
making the only expense at
tached to the weekly the cost
of the paper and press work.
Why can't it be published

makeup of news be far super

MAY BE GIVEN a TRIAL.
The Maximum Rate Law win Be Given
Chance.

Change.
OMAHA, May 31.-The prospects for
the maximum rate law having fair
trial are good at present. The attorneys
for the various railroads in the state
have been in consultation, but have not
arrived at any conclusion. The sitI1a-
ton can be stated to be about this: The
Union Pacific people are willing the law
should be tried and its merits or disad-
vantages shown by fair trial, always
agreeing that the law is unconstitutional
and full of glazing errors. The other
roads are averse to its enforcement, be-
lieving that it is easier to kill the bill
from the day of its going into effect than
months after, when the public gets a
taste of cheaper rates.
From the divided opinion of the attor-
neys of the railroads it is pretty certain
that house roll SO will go into effect July
81, its constitutionaity to be tested later
