and girls of our parochial schools have
been for the past year preparing in order TO
put on exhibition the result of their school
work. 1t has been resolved to place it
on exhibition here first for the benefit
of those parents who may not be
so fortunate as to go TO Chicago, and also
for the edifcation of our Protestant breth-
ern that they may see the good work ac-
complished in our schools and see that in
the secular development of education we 90
hand in hand with the most favored schools
in the land We can compete with tho best
in the country. This work is not only
children's work, but is representation of
loyalty to a great principle that all educa-
ton must be religious.
Il regret that we Catholics disagree with
many OF our fellow-ctiZens in this respect
and on this most important subject. We
cut loose from them because they do not go
far enough. The life of all is founded on
religion, and to perpetuate that life We
must have religion. The child was made
for Gcd. and his truth is given to it in the
secular training to fit it for the future.
There are nearly one million children
to-day in the Catholic schools OF this
country. Fifteen thousand of them are
right here in SHn Francisco. What would

NEW WHALEBACK.
The Odd Craft Will Run
to China.
SIXTY CABINS UNDER WATER.
Owners of the Wetmore Have Conf
dence in the General Principles
of Whaleback Construction.

In less than five months another wha'e-
back will be finished and ready to go to sea-
The new boat will be the Everett, and
will be vastly the superior Of the Inflated
Wetmure, She is now being built at the
little town of Everett. near Seattle, by the
Pacific Steel Barge Company.
Ninety-fve men are at work on her and
as soon as she is completed, it is proposed
to begin the erection of another. This is
TO show how confident her project ers are in
the scheme Of such an odd craft.
The Everett is to be 16l feet long. 40 feet
beam and 26h feet deep. and will have a
capacity of 400 tons. Her lines will be
finer than the WetmOre's for she is to be
sharp at the prov, and as shapely fore and
aft as a pleasure yacht. The general prin-
ciples of whaleback construction are being
strictly adhered to.
She will have twice the strength of
the Wetmore and 900 tons of steel and
100 tons of rivets, Four Scotch boilers and
triple expansion engine are to be placed
10 her, and the average speed will be six
teen knots instead of twelve, as the Wet
more.
After the frames are up they will be COW
cred with steel plates ranging from seven
eighths of an inch to half an inch in thick
ness.
1t Is believed that when loaded within
five feet of her back she will be able to ride
the ocean swells without difficulty. Con-
sequently space forty-twO inches deem has
been reserved between her outside plates
and inside bottom In which ten tanks are to
be constructed. with capacity of 1000 tons
These tanks will be separate and can be
loaded in three hours. With such n ready
manipulation Of ballast no fear ia enter

novel feature of the Everett will be her
accommodation for passengers. There will
be sixty-fOur cabins, and her owners anti
cipate large revenue from travel on their
line. For the Everett will run to China.
and when her successors are built and duIy
launched there will be new and curious
trans-Paclfc line IN operation.
When the Everett was first protected she
was intended to be built as a steel barge
and designed to carry cargo and be towsd
by the Wetmore. The wrecking of the latter
forced the builders to modify their mans
and the Everett will eventually turn out to
be whaleback of the whale backs. though
differing materially from the Wetmore and
superior to her.
The Wetmore is now pounding to pIeees
on the rocks at Coos BAY, where she was
wrecked. because of errors in her con struc-

Mr. Quinn denied last evening that he

behind me. All were quite young men.
They had the dress and physical advan-
tages of honest bank clerks in America !;
but their manners would be the social ruin
of anyone in the United States above the
grade of a policeman. Self-conscious, af-
feeted, leering, in white gloves and single
glasses, they interrupted the performers or
applauded with slow, pretentious waving
of the arms. 1t is still the habit of ladies'
of Palermo never to enter a shop or walk
upon the street. Everything is done from
the carriage window. because of the gilded
youth. AT the present time their gallantry
is in a state of transition, for since an
American girl cut young CONT across the
face with a riding whip the public senti-
