That Father Phelan. OF st. Louis. is something
OF an ass is not In the light OF his observations
concerning the Protestant Christian Endeavor So
cieties to be for a moment doubted, but there Is
no reason to make too much Of him or any OF his
forthgivings. Such discipline as he requires his
own Church Is equal to, and the Endeavor So
cieties should not feel themselves called upon to
prescribe It. and the fewer criticisms or "resolu-
lions" they formulate concerning Catholic estab-
Iishments, nunneries and others. the more COM
mon sense and dignity they will exhibit When
ever these institutions require the serious con-
sideration of any authority outside Of the Church
which maintains them. 1t will not be wanting
but 1t will not be found Ia the minor and subordi-
nate societies Of other Churches. Let them pos
sess their souls In patience and go on with their
good work Irrespective OF all the Phelans in the
Catholic or any other calendar.

The express was running AT speed of
80 miles an hour when the crash came.
Two of the passengers are known TO be

MESSAGE from the DEAD.
Strange Journey OF a Letter Which Game
From the Inflated Steamer I9ibe.

1t is not often that one receives a letter
from the dead, especially when the missive
is known to have gone down on one of
the ocean liners at sea- where the chances
of ever recovering it again are very slim
indeed. But then strange things happen
nowadays, and occasionally one hears of
an extraordinary incident or state of cir
cumstances, which TO say the least, borders
OIL the miraculous.
John II. Muhlhausen, living at No. Gil
Jackson street, has received message
from the North German.Lioyd steamship
Elbe, which foundered off Lowestoft in
the English channel several weeks ago,
when more than 200 human souls were
gulped down by the sea. The letter was
placed in one of the mail pouches aboard
the ill-fated steamer.
When the steamer Crathie collided with
the Elbe striking her amidships and send
ing nearly all ON board to watery grave,
the remarkable letter went to the bottom
with the rest of the ships cargo, but some
how the mail pouch containing the letter
was afterwards recovered from the wreck
and sent to Bremen, from which place it
was remailed TO Mr.. Muhlhausen in this
city.
On the lower left hand corner of the
envelope are the words Found in the
post bug from steamer Elbe. Sent to
Bremen" MIR. Muhlhausen will ever pre-.
serve the remarkable letter as d memento
of the awful disaster at sea.

Lively Contest Over the Proposed An
uexutlon of the Highlands Distr ct,

There is lively contest over the legis.
lative bill now III course of preparation,
the purpose OF which will be the annexa-
ton of the Highlands to the city. Norris
Luton, Frank Il. Haley and ]. Mason
Phillips. all Of whom reside ON Eighteenth
street. the principal thoroughfare of tue
settlement, are at the head Of the OPPOSE
ton movement, while William K. Brinke
and Ernest MacNair are urging the High
lands people to favor the annexation
movement.
\ paper was drawn up this week by
those who oppose the bill and is now in
circulation for signatures.
1t is claimed that if the territory were
brought into the city certain improve
inents would be made which would be
very expensive to the property owners
and some of them say they could not
stand ii. For that reason they would
prefer to remain outside the city limits.
There are numerous advantages to be
gained by coming into the city and for
that reason number of the residents are
heartily III favor Of annexation. So it will
be seen that the proposed bill has both
friends and enemies.

would be ground to death. lie did not
lose his head, but quickly applied the
brakes, which responded instaniareously
and the train was stopped within Two feet
