ton are devotions arising from the doc
trines pertaining to these things such a %
ought to be strongly insisted upon in 9
land whose people seek for central truths,
and for the more intellectual points OF
Christianity? The Church contents her
self with the modest statement that the
veneration of relics is lawful and useful
and free from every stain ofsnperstitioD.
This i q very different thing from say
ing that the veneration of relics should
be so strongly insisted upon in public
deyotions as to make it appear that such
veneration belongs to the very heart OF
Christianity.
1t is not very sound theology to lay
more stress upon sacramentals than upon
sacraments. It is not good judgment to
insist upon symbolism which, if it ex-
lists at all, is very remote. 1t is irjudi-
cious to emphasize q symbolism for q
people whose strong point is inquiry.
Such insistence may advance devotion in
some countries, 1t has contrary
effect in the United States. Non.
Catholics cannot readily understand
Catholicity. The trend of their thoughts,
the training of their minds, and it's own
peculiar form of expression tend to lead
them away from it. Surely these diff
culties should not be multiplied by q
needless presentation of accidentals. 1t
is bad theology to press forward these
things so prominently. Tt is worse
policy to do so. A lawyer who should
follow such course for client would
soon find himself briefless.
Successful missionaries have always
made minor concessions to the natural
or racial traits of those to whom they
preached. St. Patrick made them in
Ireland, St. Francis Xavier in India, ST.
Paul in Judea. There should be little
hesitancy about yielding tritie to the
intellectual Dent of the United States
And this all the more since the tendency
of the American mind is philosophical
1t is not question of surrendering prin.
cip}e or of sacrificing doctrine; it is q
question of putting doctrines and their
devotions in the places where they prop
erly belong. Every defined doctrine OF
the Catholic Church can be proved
either directly or indirectly from reason.
Theologians can draw arguments straight
from reason in favor of most of these
doctrines; and they can examine the mo-
tives of the credibility of Scriptures
from which arguments are furnished for
the remainder. By all means let the
American mind be encouraged in its
search for divine truth. Put no needless
obstacles in the way of the searcher
Build, up no barrier of aocidentals

The American mind demands reasons

constantly on the lips Of the average

not be afraid to submit it to any test

for outsiders arises from the great stress

AN ESTATE WITHOUT HEIRS.
a Rich South Dakota Cattlcman Dies Sud
denly Without Making Il VIII.

ucHby nIlhout Will
a Chamberlain IS. d. special says
that the immense herd of cattle brand
ed u. B. S.. ranging in Lyman coun-
ty has been levied on by the treasurer
of that county for taxes. The owner of
the herd was John B. Smith, who is re-
ported to have died suddenly in Mime
apolis while on a business trip 70 that
city some weeks ago. The Lyman
county authorities, however, have no
proof of his death, and there is no record
in the probate court Of that county
showing that his estate has ever been
probated. Parties claiming to have held
a mortgage on the stock, but who are
now known to be rustlers, have been
running the cattle out Of the country
without any process of foreclosure and
the county treasurer finally came to the
conclusion that it was time for him to
act and accordingly levied Oh the bal
ance of the cattle for the taxes due.
Nearly 10000 cattle were run out Of
the country.
Smith left from IS, 900 to $40, 900 in
life insurance besides tho large herd of
cattle in question. 1t is regarded as
very peculiar that his heirs have never
attempted to settle the accounts of the
deceased cattleman.

MAY BRookYN's suPERsTITloNs.
The Actress Kept In Her Room What

Seems to BE n List of Omens.
In Miss Brookyn's room were writings
which attested her superstition. The
name of "test medium and psychome-
trist" of this city was on card which she
kept. In her handwriting was what ap-
peared to be a list of omens. 1t began
with an incomplete account of what the
months had in store for her This was
ms follows:
Fcb.-Avoid o. S.
June-P.I
Aug.-Good.
Nov.-
Below this was q statement of what
the letters meant. This was as follows:
H-Good: deal freely.
E-Not so good in woman rs man.
O-Vcry bad.
S-Cnpeasant news from n distance: sur.
prise.
A-Good male or female
P-Good.
livery good: male or female.
k-Good: new friend.
F-Ncw friend; good; fair man.
Don't marry in '9i: 's1 good.

BIS very good; deal freely.
W-Propostion; good for Irritation: never
marry.
C-Good: male or female.
M-Bcttcr woman.
T-New friend; good.
GVery good.
Mot quite so good; be careful.
She had drawn a rude circle and there
were dots i'll it as if pencil point came
down in many places. The supposition
is that the letters We're placed inside
circle, like the numbers on the face of a
clock, and she then let the pencil held in
her fingers drop wherever chance brought
it. The letter on which it hit signified
the outcome of whatever she might have
been thinking of. In this manner doubt
less she found whether the months Were
to be good or bad for her.
She had marked February as q month
to avoid and with the letters 20 S." Ac-
cording to the mystic dictionary, 80"
meant that February was very bad for
her and rs" that she would receive un-
pleasant news from distance. Curl
ously she did get some news from New
York lately, which is presumed to have
been unpleasant and February proved
to be the month of her grievous exit
from the world.
A spiritualistic doctor fingered around
the baldwin theater yesterday until he
could tell Nj. Presbrey, manager of the
Palmer company, that he had received
knowledge of the reunion Of the souls of
Loyecraft and Miss Brooklyn. The spirit
nalistic theory is that when her efforts
to establish communication with her lov-
er's spirit failed she felt the necessity of
taking exactly the same terrestrial route
that he had journeyed on. To employ
any other poison than carbolic acid might
serve to keep them parted forever, and
SO she submitted herself to the scorching
liquid. She bought the deadly draft in
Columbus, O., on Nov. 30 and treasured

KNEE BsEEcEEs COMING.
So Say the Leading Tailors Who Wore the
Costume ut II Recent Banquet.

Costume at Il Recent banquet.
y notable dinner took place at Pitts
burg last week. 1t closed the proceed
ings of /: three days session of the Mer-
chant TaiIols' National Exchange and
WAS made memorable hy the introduc-
ton ot new and gorgeous evening cos
tune.
-Four of the leading tailors of the
United States wore this costume ut the
banquet. and It's beauty and grace were
SO striking that the whole company OF
critical Observers regarded it With en-
thusiastic admiration. The costume con-
sisted of Il 81 lll velvet dress coat. satin
brocaded waistcoat, SATIN knee breeches,
silk stockings and the lace adornments
affected hy men of fashion Il century
ago. UndouLtedIy the different colors
which can be introduced into such Il cos
tune, according to the requirements o.
the varying types of manly beauty,
would lend great hrilliancc to an occa-
sion OF evening testivity. Instead of the
1aiment of men being merely Il foil TO
set off the bright attire of women it
would he of itself a thing of beauty,
Wltu WHICH lSll1uil tdSiS anu iTt "OulU
have to compete.
The Judgment of the merchant N,iio,s
at the diniler at Pittsburg was so imam
mously i'll favor of the new costume
that it will be the prevailing garb when
the convention hold its next annual ban
quet. The tailo1s expect. too, that as
the fame of its impressive beauty
spreads abroad men Will lie unable to re-
slst the desire to emulate the glory Of
their raiment.
Perhaps SO. hut how Will ii be regard
ed by the men with thin and crooked
legs: Some men OF great distinction
and most engaging personality suffer
from those physical defects, but at pres
ent they are concealed by trousers, in
chief part at least. Knee lrceches and
silk stockings would reveal them to
every boholder. 1t is true that such
men might resort to padding, but would
not suspicion Of the artihcc get abroad
aud provoke unseemlv meI1iment among
women:
AS it is, the dress Of men is comfort
