which will not do violence to their religious
convictions. When sectarian preachers intro
duced their sectarian doctrines into the public
schools Catholics protested. When they pro-
tested they were shouted down. With lungs
of leather and throats of brass the preachers,
like the coyote, howled and howled and
howled. But Catholics were not to be intimi-
dated with wind They persevered and if to-
day the parents of this country can send their
children to the public schools with the conf
dence that their religious sensibilities will not
be outraged, they owe it to the gallant fight
made by the Catholic citizens of the United
States.
AS to parochial schools, we build them where
the parents want them. DR.. Bovard seems to
think that they do not give as good a literary
education as the public schools. L know of my
own knowledge that in this City of San Fran
cisco they give better. l am willing to take the
work OF the children of our parish schools and
put it side by side with the work of children
from the common schools and leave it to un-
prejudiced judges to decide which is superior.

Their work is good, but know by my own ex-

that the parish school work is better.

was said to have been Attorney Charles ..
Wheeler.
Mr.. Wheeler, when spoken to In refer

story to scorn as being utterly without
foundation. While not wishing TO De quoted

ran toward them and commenced fioNrish-

his fists.
Mr.. Wilson appeared to resist this little
familiarity ana straightway gave chase to
it's perpetrator- When Polk observed that
his intended victim. far from taking to
flight, was making for him under a full
head of steam, he recalled the ancient aphor-
ism that "He who lives to run away will
live to fight another day." and stood not
on the order of his going, but flew like
chaff before the wind.
Mr.. Wheeler, it is said, not wishing to
see Mr.. Wilson dragged into court in con-
nection with a street quarrel, also gave
chase and catching up with Wilson held
him by the arm. Mr.. Polk was gyrating
about the scene, taking good. care to keep
the ratings of a sidewalk elevator between
himself and his adversary; but seeing that
the latter was likely to escape from the
clutches of his friendly captor the would !.

taken sudden and most undignified seat

and gilded youth at the Christmas cotiIlon.

The Rev. Father Yorke contributes the
following in answer to recent communi-
cation of the Rev. DR.. Bovard of Alameda: ::
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27, 1895.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Call
DEAR SIR: In communication which ap-
peared in your magnificent Christmas number
Kew. F. d. Boyard gives his views OF. certain
phases of the present controversy. The tone of
that communication was excellent, and hope
to be able to answer it in the same good spirit.
/ agree with him that "there are some funda-
mental differences between Catholicism and
Professionalism to which attention can be called
without unjust reflection on either" might
add that If we could only conffne our contro-
versy TO these points on which one communion
really differs from the other we might more
easily reach If not an agreement at least tole-
rance and mutual respect.
a. am inclined to believe that DR.. Bovard
has been mislead by his authorities concern
Ing the attitude of the Catholic church toward
the Bible He states: 1.-THE Catholics hold
that by virtue of the supernatural power be-
slowed on the church in the beginning 1t has
the right. through properly constituted coun-
ellis, to add to the doctrines of the Bible. They
hold further that the DEGREES and dogmas of
the church are of equal authority with the

afraid that he has not caught the meaning Of
Catholic teaching on this matter. Catholics

A Laborer Suicides.

Gustav Cailly, laborer who resided at 432
Jackson street, committed suicide by hanging
himself in barn on Somps tract early yester-
day morning. The body was discovered by E.
+. Somps at 8 A. NJ. and he notified the Cor.
oner who removed the body to the MOrgue. 1t
is not known what prompted Cailly to commit
his rash act, but it is presumed that he was de-
spondent as he had been out of position for
some time and was without funds.

A telephone circuit is to be constructed
along all the lines of the trolley car sys-
tenn in Hartford, Conn.,, and its suburbs,
with the power-house and car dispatcheF
in case of accident or delay. A telephone
wire will be strung on the trolley poles,
and at every eighth pole there will be
switch for making connections. Each car
will carry a transmitter. 1t is expected
that the device will prove of great utility
and convenience and will do much to pre-
vent accidents and delays on the single
track lines that run long distances into
the suburbs. The device is the invention
of W. G. Fielding of Hartford. 1t ought,
at least, to prove of great service in re-
llevlng the minds OF the passengers and
the strain on the conductor when the
power is suddenly shut off and the car
halted, and every one wants to know Just
what the trouble is. There is no more ex-
asperating situation of utter helplessness
than to be halted in trolley car a mile or
two outside the city line, and not to be
able to gain the slightest idea of why the
power has been shut off or when tits likely
to be turned on again. Not a few SUBJ
urbanites have been brought near to insan-
1ty OF a violent type by just such situa.
ton OF trying uncertainty.
