Prayers for Pope,s Power.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Archbish-
CD Corrigan has ordered today to
be set apart in the archdiocese as a
day of prayer for the restoration OF
the Pope's temporal power. 1t Is
the anniversary Of the fall OF the
Quirinal. Throughout the Catholic
countries the faithful will pray for
the restoration of their sovereign
pontiff to the powers which his
predecessors enjoyed. These uni
versal prayers are intended to Off
set the celebration today in Rome
of the downfall Of the Pope as a
tenn poral leader. In Italy the old
Roman families are still clamorous
for the return of the Pope's rule,
but the masses Of the people are as
firm as ever in their determination
to restrict the papacy's earthly au-
thority to its restricted limits
about the Vatican. The celebra-
ton Of the Kings victory over the
Pope will be celebrated here and in
other cities by parades and a BAN
quet by the Italian societies.

Rehearsals in Progress for the
Opening Shortly.
There was a rehearsal OF the
mixed chorus of the Beethoven
Mennerchor members at the now
hall last night, for the opening
festivities. The mixed chorus
numbers about sixty participants.
The children's chorus Of about 100
voices will rehearse Sunday morn
ing. 1t is not yet definitely known
when the hall will open, but about
the first week, or at latest, the Sec
ond week in October, will very
probably see the opening OF this
new hall. The only thing that is
delaying the opening is the ship
ment of opera chairs for the audi
forum, and a telegram to G. H.

chairs were now on the way to San

SHORT STOPS.
" hat the People are Saying.


The published comparative state
ment of the collection OF taxes by
the city collector for the months of
May, June, July and August 1874
and '95 is instructive to the public.
1t shows that our people do pay
taxes-a large amount-and that
the present collector has been kept
very busy attending to his duties.
With such large cash income,
why should the city be delinquent
in the payment Of its running ex-
penses?
Paying city taxes is like pouring
water into rat hole. No matter
how much or how little is collect
ed there is never any let-up in the
expenditures. There is no attempt
at economy, or II the attempt is
made, 1t fails because of private
and political interests interfered
with.
In the four months of 1894, May,
June, July and August, 1886, 563.5l
were collected In the same period
of 1895, $310,759.82 we're collected.
This increase of collection proves
that our city has not gone back
ward. No city in the state can
show such an amount collected
from taxes in the same period.
The tax levy for 1895 is $47S,254.-
50. The prospect is that the col
lection for this year will be larger
than for any previous year In our
history. Every dollar of this
amount has been appropriated.
Our city establishment has grown
to be an expensive concern.
The complaint made by the city
collector that he is poorly paid for
his services and the responsibilities
attending his Office, seems to be
we'll founded. The city has erected
a separate collectors Office to take
charge of the back taxes, when, II
the amount paid for this annex
were allowed the collector, there
would be more efficient work done.
There is no department of our
city government that is as impor-
tant as the collection of taxes. The
governing this matter
should conform with the charter
and laws of the state. The collectors
should be fully manned
so that the work be done promptly
and efficiently.
The act passed by the last legis-
lature regulating the collection Of
back takes, applies to cities and
towns. An ordinance drawn in ac-
cordance with this act would great
ly simplify the collection Of taxes.
At the same time the remuneration
of the collector should be more
provided for.

WAKE UP!
Slow Work in Raising subscrip-
tions for Corbett.

Subscriptions for arrangements
for COrbett's training quarters in
this city are coming in very slow.
Thus far ten days have been con-
Sumed in trying to raise $500, and
only about 5000 have been raised.
Corpus Christi raised the necessary
amount for Fitzsimmons' training
quarters in one day. If San Anto-
Mo does not raise the required
amount, there is good chance to
lose Corbett, as other cities of
Texas have offered big induce
ments to have the champion train
in their midst.
The Russell cottage on Alamo
Heights and the Jockey clut
grounds, where Corbett is to train
have been photographed.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUcTIoN.-This lesson can be taught only
through the heart. How much is Sunday School
teacher personally benefited by becoming able to
teach such lesson as this.
a. v. 3z-S6. In his agony Jesus became in a
special sense our brother Every life has its Geth-
semanes.--There is but one receipt in the Bible
for bearing trouble, and that is prayer.-"Christ
prayed three times to teach perseverance in
prayern-PELouBET prayer is not conquering
Gods reluctance, but taking hold of Gods willing
ness.n-PHILLIPs BROOKS. Certain thoughts are
prayers there are moments when, whatever the at
titude of the body, the soul is on its knees"-VIc-
TOR HUGO. 1.-The best answer to all objections
urged against prayer is that man cannot help pray
ing; for we may be sure that that which is spon-
taneous and ineradicable in human nature has its
fitting objects and methods in the arrangements of
boundless Providence."-E. H. CHAPIN-It is
no sin to shrink from what is painful, when the
shrinking is violent to resist the clear will OF
God.-"Ah, if We only know the peace there is an
accepted sorrow."-MADAME GuYoN.-God al
ways answers prayer yet not always according to
the imperfect human wish.-"God always answers
in kind or in kindness ."-CECIL. at would be an
ill-ordered household where the child's will was
superior to the fathers" The essence of all real
prayer is in the words, MOI as ztaH bit as IH0H
zpik.
o. " S-4o. Praying and watching must go
together. Watching means making the most OF the
present hour by being alert alike tor every danger
and every blessing.-If the disciples could have
understood that those hours in Gethsemane were
the last they to spend with Jesus in bodily
companionship, sleep would have been impossible.
They had the one opportunity of their lives to
give to their Master spiritual help by living and
manifest sympathy and they slept.-It is a lesson
for us and for every day. To watch and pray, to be
eager for opportunity to avert danger or do good,
while trustful in the Divine guidance, is to make
every day a section Of heaven-'lt is sad thing
for the church to be sleeping while Christ is suffer-
ing and praying"
49, V.4I,42 The BETRAYAL of Jesus by Judas is
an act which can scarcely be contemplated without
horror. 1t is the more dreadful because in direct
contrast with the moral heroism of Jesus. AT the
time when Jesus scorning to save his life by
fleeing from Judea Judas fulfilling his bargain
to sell his Lords life for thirty pieces of silver. We
see in Judas the depths of infamy of which human
nature is capable in Jesus we see the heights OF
self-abnegaton which son of God may achieve.
Darkness before dawn Gethsemane, the Judg-
meat Hall, Calvary; then resurrection, ascension,
heaven.

court ordered the clerk to read it, and
were filed with wrath at what appeared
to be these words in opening:
If address you not as magistrates,
but as Indian DEVILS"
"What" they cried. Read that over
again. How does he address usf"
mot as magistrates, but as Indian
DEVILS" repeated the clerk. That's what
he says"
The letter was passed around, and the
judges were by no means pleased to see
that the clerk had apparently made no
mistake. Very angry at what they be-
lieved to be an insult, the judges passed
a vote of censure upon the clergyman,
and wrote him demanding an apology.
He came before them in person, when it
turned out that where the judges had
read Indian devils he had written indi-
viduals-which, of course, made an
apology unnecessary; but the reverend
gentleman was admonished to improve
his handwriting if he wished to keep
out of trouble.

THE TEE-HE GIRL.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX


know a little maiden, but really, on my word.
You would sooner think this person was Tee
hee bird.
For no matter what you say,
If it's sad or If it's gay,
This silly maiden answers you with "Tee-he-
he,"
With "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he.'
She's quite pretty little girl, with bright and
smiling eyes,
very wise.
But though she knows her letters,
No matter what her betters
Or her elders may remark to her, this little
maiden, she
Is sure to end her answer with "Tee-he-he,"
With "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he..
If you tell her that your pocket is just stuffed
all full of toys
If you tell her you've headache aud she must
not make a noise.
If you tell her she's your pride,
Or If you scold and chide,
1t really is the same to her far as can see,
For her answer is gigge with "Tee-he-he.'
''Tee-he. tee-he. tee-he-he."
have heard this little maiden say that she was
very tired;
have heard her ask for many things she very
much desired;
But to everything she uttered,
Or mumbled forth or muttered
She tackled that senseless giggle that is quite
devoid of glee-
That foolish little habit of "Tee-hehe,"
A "Tee-he, tee-he. tee.he-he.'
/ sometimes feel quite worried lest an elf of
whom I've heard
Should come along and change this girl into q
Tee-hee bird;
