THOUGH theee are not the days of
miracles, vet tcteDce. art and mechan-
ism have advanced TO a degree of per
fection and the possible accom- plish-
ment of facts almost bordering on the
miraculous. In truth the rapid develop
ments within the last quarter Of
century have accomplished much moro
than ad ever been dreamed of in our
philosophy Of long ago. 1t has not
been so many years since medical
science was unable to diagnose with
positiveness the interior condition OF
eyes and eye troubles. OF course it's
anatomy and physiology were under
stood, but no ono had fathomed the
scope OF It's mysteries until the ophthal-
mosoope was made to penetrate it's
walls-and so tcculism and optics have
advanced hand and hard with science.
We are led to these remarks by the
presence of Dr. Masthez in Roanoke in
tho scientific adjustment OF glasses to
the eyes. We have evidence of the
good Dr. Matthez is accomplishing and
we cannot say too much in his behalf
1t ls not spectacles in themselves as
mercantile ware, whether good, bad or
indifferent, which gives the sight and
effects good-whether they are worth SO
cents or S50-it Is the professional skill
and high scientific attachments II the
careful examining scientist who adds to
tina; knowledge in optics, the filling of
his formula or prescription the very
highest degree OF skilled execution in
the lenses and accurately fitting frames.
Just as the good physician uses tho best
OF drugs, but no matter how good the
chemicals they would prove valueless
in the hands OF an unskilled prac ;itioner.
In conclusion we can but advise those
who have detective sight to see DR..

CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS.
The Crew of the Steamship Arawi
Having a Merry Time.

The Crew of the Steamship Arawa
Having a Merry Time.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-The crew of
the steamship Arawa celebrated Christ
mas on shore, and so much to their own
satisfaction that this morning they re-
fused to go to work. The men shipped at
Liverpool and signed articles for two
years. When the officers Of the Arawa
went to look up the missing tars and urge
them to report on board ship they were
met with a Hat refusal to work until the
conclusion OF the holiday celebration.
The men insist that under the English
rule they are entitled 10 four-days' rest
at Christmas, and they intimated that at
the conclusion of that time they would
return to the Arawa in good order. Cap
tain stuart was not in the least disturbed
by the attitude of the crew, for he at once
engaged a number of men from the dock,
set them to work and informed the cele-
brating sailors that the wages of the men
would be deducted from their pay at the
end of the voyage. The deserters are
having a very merry time on shore,
while the new men are hard at work dis
charging the Arawa's cargo.

Special to the RECORD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Among the
few members of the House who were at
the Capitol to-day the prevailing opinion
seemed to be that the Republicans had it
in their power to pass or defeat the cur
rency bill. The Democratic vote, 1t is
said by one who has fully canvassed the
situation, will be about evenly divided.
The Republicans are generally ex-
pected to vote against the measure.
While the bill is far from satisfactory,
many OF the Democratic mem bers who
will support it say they will vote for it
because in their opinion the present sit
uation demands such action.
Judge Culberson puts it in this way:
"We are like tramp who has been
ordered out of town. 1t don't matter
whether he goes to New York, Balti-
more or Richmond, but move he must.
The situation of the Treasury is ident-
ical. Something must be done to relieve
it. If this bill does not accomplish all it
should, it will at least accomplish some
thing"
Representative Bland, who has free
coinage substitute pending, IS very
doubtful of his ability to secure even a
record making vote upon it.
Chairman Springer has already given
notice that he will make point of order
against the substitute, on the ground that
it is not genuine, and while Bland be-
heved 1t was the programme of the advo-
Gates Of the currency bill to rule this
substitute, dealing, as it does, not only
with coinage, but with the currency, is
germane, he seems inclined to the opin-
ion that the point of order will be sus-
Iained. In the event that it is not sus-
tanned, however, he says, inasmuch as
the substitute will be defeated in the
Committee of the Whole, that fact will
preclude the possibility of securing
a record making vote on this propo-

DECREE TO CATHOLICS.
Letter Concerning Their Belonging to
Secret Societies.


Secret Societies.
WILMINGTON DELI, Dec. 26.-Bishop
Curtis issued the following letter to all
the priests in the diocese of Wilmington:
''ReU. Brothers: AS soon as practical
you will read on Sunday at least once the
following documents. and you will, I am
sure, to the very utmost OF your ability,
endeavor to procure from all with whom
the decree OF the Holy See may concern,
prompt and loyal obedience to this de-
cree. When Christ speaks through his
Vicar, and in such words, there can be no
question as to the purport OF the utter
ance. y Catholic, excuse himself how he
may, yet ceases 10 be Catholic If he fails
to conform himself thoroughly and at
once to that utterance."
The inclosure was as follows:
Most ReUereRd and ItIuStrious Sir.
Your eXcellency cannot fail TO know that
the Arch bishops set over the various
ecclesiastical provinces of the republic OF
the United States OF America have in
more than in one of their assemblies
taken counsel with respect to the socie-
ties which have grown up in the atore-
said republic, namely, the Odd Fellows
the Sons of Temperance and the knights
OF Pythias. And you must be also aware
that the aforesaid Bishops unanimously
decided that the whole question as to the

judgment of the Apostolic See, his holi-
ness therefore committed this question to
the Most Reverend Satolli and the In
quiSitors-General. These in general con-
gregation, held on Wednesday, June 20.
1894, confirmed a decision previously
made as to the aforementioned circulars
decreed that all the ordinaries through
out the I nited States must in every wav
strive to keep the faithful from becoming
members OF said societies, and must not
fail to admonish their people to that eff
feet, ana that any thus admonished must
be debarred from the sacrament should
they fail to abandon or cut aloof from the
same societies. This decree his Holiness
confirmed and gave in complete effect.
1t is therefore communicated to your ex-
cellency, that through you it may be
transmitted to all the Arch bishops, Bish-
ops and other ordinaries of the United
States, and for the due custody Of the
souls of the faithful, may be by these or
dinaries carried into effect. Meantime, I
beseech Almighty God TO bestow all; be-

Annual Meeting of the American Body
Being Held at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The third an
nual meeting of the American Jewish
Historical Society began here to-day at
ance than usual. Hon. Oscar c. Strauss,
the President, delivered an address of
welcome. The society, he said, had en-
joyed a general and healthy growth, and
year by year the papers read at the an
nual meetings revealed new data, and
the channels of investigation ran deeper
into the history of the early settlement of
the continent.
The President spoke particularly of
the immigration of Jews to America.
They came as fugitives from Spain, in
spite of the stringent laws which existed
until 1877 against such immigration, and
was only removed then by the payment
of 81, 900, 600 by the Jews in the American
colony. Il have every belief" said Mir.
Strauss, "that careful investigation will
reveal a much larger immigration to
America and the contiguous islands than
history has taken note of. The closing
chapter of the history of the Jews in
Spain and Portugal are the opening
chapters of their history on this conti-
nent, and closely connected with the
The Secretary's report shows that the
society has now a membership of IS3
active, three honorary and seven corre-
spending members.
A number OF papers were read to-day,
including the following: Jews in Sur

Judge S. w. Razendale of New York,

Complaint Against Issuance to Them
of Government Kations.
WASHINGTON, Dec. pa general COM
plant against the issuance of Govern
ment rations to Indians is made in the
annual reports OF agents. Captain Z. ii.
Ray of the Shoshone Agency, Wyoming,
says: They will never become seIt-sup-
porting as long as the Government gives
them the sem plance of support; neither
can they begin to accumulate property as
long as the supply Of the necessarIes of
lie IS solely in the hands of white trad
ers." Another factor retarding the de-
velopment complained of by Captain
Ray is the domination of the chiefs, who
are allowed to dictate TO the agents as to
the issue of annuities and affairs of the
agency. The removal of troublesome
chiefs is recommended. The Shoshones
are regarded as communists who are 10th
to take up any untried pursuit Their
agent recommends that the ration issue,
except to the INDECENT and helpless, be
gradually discontinued, and the money
now used for rations be devoted to pay
ment for Indian labor.
The international treaty of the Govern
ment regulating seal hunting on the
North Pacific and Behring Sea, has
worked great hardship To the Indians at
y edh Bay Agency, w ASH. These Indians
cannot agree upon a head man or chief,
and consequently are divided among
themselves. The agent regards the fail
ure to select some one as a disadvantage
to thems
Considerable opposition to the work of
the commission in preparing lands on the
Puyallup reservation IN W ashington for
sale has been shown by the minority of
these Indians, but the faction is evidently
influenced by having all restrictions re-
moved.
The progress made at the Tulalip
Agency IN Washington indicates thai
within few years these Indians will be-
come self-supporting and Independent of
Government aid.
Some definite action is urged uDon the
department TO restore TO the Nakimas
their rights at their accustomed fisheries
on the Columbia river, in Washington, a
dispute over which has resulted in con-
siderable trouble. The Yakimas refuse
to take allotments, but have marked off
line which they claim as their reserva-
ton in common. They are reported in
bad financial condition and in great
need of Government assistance.

Major Ingraham made critical examina-

the ascent to the summit was to have
been made, and found that the ice ana
snow was so broken up that an attempt
to climb up would have proven disas-
trous; consequently, the summit was not
attempted. The expedition has been an
entire success. 1t has demonstrated that
while the mountain has been smoking
and steaming, tie change is due princi-
pally to tremendous avalanches, and not
10 an eruption. The new peak observed
from Seattle is off Coiumbia's crest. and
