Only published by HIS publishers ne meant
But IL he had spoken the truth about thematteH
he would have told you that the first volume OF
the latest edition OF the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA was issued fifteen years ago, and that the
greater part OF it was compiled at that date.
So you see they didn't get General Grant IN ID
after all
That depends on the kind OF book you want.
Let me ask you question or two. You Live
here in the United States, don't you?
Yes, I thought SO. Now tell me, about which
do you want the most detailed information, sn
American city or an English town? An Amer
. lean statesman or an English statesman?
Just 80. But, you see, the Encyclopedias
Britannica wasn't compiled for the use Of men
like you. 1t was put together to be used by
Englishmen IN England. And, you gee, they
want the exact opposite Of what you do, andth9
Encyclopedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. 1t fills pages with the account OF
GONE insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, aud gives hall dozen lines 90
some State orcity here that You want the fullest
particulars OF, but about which an Englishmap
caressjust nothing OF all.
Right as q tri7et, whatever that may be-I
never saw one that know Of. But you're lust
exactly right, all the same. It's the AMERI-
CANNED Encyclopaedia britannica that We
propose to put IN every home in the West. The
long-winded articles on petty British subjects
have been cut down TO the same length that
would have been given them had they been
French or German subjects, and the articles on
matters of American interest have been all re-
written and treated just as exhaustiTely as they
would have been in the original work had they
been specially interesting TO EngIishmen.
Well, rather. Ono OF the best and most COM
plete ever written. And there are four thous
sand new biographies besides. In fact, the
work contains the life OF every distinguished
man or woman, American or foreign, now living,
or who has died since the Encyclopaedia Brf
[ tannica was compiled.
{ Oh, yes, a few. The entire work has been 70.
vised down to the present year for one thing

ACCORDING to the London Graphic
during the past year 5,56) acres of Irish
land previ 'usly in farming have gone
out of cultivation. The land laid down
to grass is ON the increase in acres, but
the cereal crops, and also woods and
plantations, cover less ground than for
merly. AS much of the bogland might
he bound together by planting the right
sort of trees, so much not only safe
but profitable, the decline in plantations
is especially to be regretted. On the
other side of the account there is an in
crease of $3.50 in the number of horses
and 1888 in the pigs, which would be
very encouraging but for the diminishing
number of both sheep and cattle. The
Irish government collects certain stats.
tics, and froE these it appears that

is is years They are carefully
guarded night and day by one Of
the Sisters, and after they remain under
the benign influence of these good
women for the space OF six mouths there
is such moral reformation effected that
they rarely, if ever, relapse into evil
habits after leaving the institution.
During their stay they spend the time
in work and recreation. They enjoy
vocal and instrumental music and derive
pleasure and profit from reading the
good books in the library. S, enamoured
do the young women become with the
House Of the Good Shepherd that they
frequently return of their own volition
when they feel strongly tempted to re-
lapse into vicious ways, in order that
they may acquire more strength to COM
bat the temptations to which they are
subjected. The institution is we'll calcu-
lated to prevent the fall of young women
from grace and keep them from entering
Bethany Home. In view of that fact
we contend that it is entitled to every
encouragement from citizens of all religi-
Gus persuasions, and that the city coun-
Gil would not exceed it's province by in
GLIDING it with Bethany Home under
the provision Of the charter which en-
powers it to give an appropriation
"for the use and support of any institu-
ton established for the care and reform
alton of fallen womeb."
We have no desire of anticipating the
action of the )uncil in the matter of
the Catholic orphan asylum. There is
no provision in the charter for any ap-
preparation to sectarian institutions
and If the council secs fit to give money
to the asylum it must come from the

most extraordinary personal combats in
the history Of Ireland, is told fully in Nc
Clure's Magazine for November in the

the presence of ten Thousand people, and
lasted from before noon until late in the
afternoon. 1t was a tight SO fierce that
for generation after people in that part

happened either before or after the

The saddest event which has occurred
in the history of Chicago for many years
was the assassination of Mayor Carter Fl.
Harrison, at his residence in that city,
last Saturday evening. by crazy crank
named .Prendergast. The mayor was at
the happiest period OF his life, though in
his 68th year. He was mayor during the
Columbian fair and was to attend the
closing OF it on Monday. Ir few weeks
he was to be married for the third time
to an estimable lady and was making
preparations for the happy event. But
man proposes and God disposes. With
out warning or premonition be was
stricken down by the hand of an aspirant
for Office. The murderer was captured
and indicted for his crime by the
coroner's jury. Chicago is in mourning
over the death of it's chief magistrate
and the world at large tenders it's sym
pathy to the grief stricken city on Lake
Michigan. Expressions of coincidence
nave been sent to the members or the
Harrison family from all parts of the
world, and regardless of politics, men
high in station have expressed poignent
sorrow over bis tragic death. Carter
Harrison was serving his fifth term as
mayor Of Chicago, and it is the universal
verdict that no man could have discharg-
ed his duties more satisfactorily than he
during the memorable Columbian year
just closed. He was popular with citizens
of all nationalities in the Worlds Fair
city, and in his public addresses he had q
good word to say FOR all Of them. All in
all Chicago will not see his like again for
many q year 70 come. .

REFORMATORY INSTITUTIONS.

At the last meeting of the Minneapolis
city council motion was moved by one
of the aldermen asking that $1,000 be
set spart for the Catholic orphan asylum
The matter was referred to committees
who will probably report at the lex.
meeting. The Rev. David Tice, q
Methodist minister, very properly OBJ
jects to any appropriation for sectarian
institutions, and asks the Evening
journal for information in regard to the
appropriation made to Bethany Home
The Journal cites section IS of chapter
of the city charter au thorizing the ap.
preparation, and s'ys that Bethany
Home is non-eectarian in the strictest
sense of that to, M, and while it is in the
hands of Protestant women, no ques'
tons bearing upon religious matters are
asked those who desire to go there for
shel.e in the hour Of trouble. The Cath
Ole is received as freely as the Prote st
SAINT"
We recognize the necessity for such
an institution and have no desire to see
the annual appropriation withdrawn
from it's support, but at the same time
we believe that the House of the Good
Shepherd, which is engaged in similar
work, viz, the reformation Of young
women, is as deserving of an appropria.
tion as Bethany Home. 1t is under the
charge of Catholic women, as Bethany
Home is under the control OF Protestant
women, but why one institution should
get an appropriation of 81, 700 year and
the other nothing is more than we can
comprehend. Half the inmates of the
Good Shepherd house are Professionals,
and they have been sent there at the
request of their parents by the judges OF
the municipal court. The House of the
Good Shepherd is preferable to the
workhouse, at all events. The girls sent
to the workhouse are supported by the
city during their detention; why should
not those sent to the House OF the Good
Shepherd be supported in like manner?
The parents and guardians Of the girls
sent to the Sisters house have free access
to all parts OF the building, and they can
see for themselves that there is no inter
ference whatever of a sectarian nature
with non, Catholic inmates, the only re-
quirement being compliance with the
rules of the institution. The girls are
taught needle work, laundry work
and homework and receive secular
and moral instruction every day, and
the result ia that they leave the insti-
/ sutton with . discrimination to enter
s 3un I new career. 8 There are 45 girls
