Boiling River

1t is sure enough. 1t Is not as large as
the Mississippi; indeed, it is quite small,
but mighty interesting stream for ali
that It issues from the sides of a
mountain in thousand tiny rills, more
or less, and Of almost as many colors.
These gather themselves into pools and
lakelets on the mountain side, covering
an area of about 200 acres. Overlooking
their boundaries, they slowly trickle
down the sides of the mountain, forming
small cliffs, the most wonderful in the
world. From distance one can hardly
believe what the eyesight reveals--white,
black, orange, lemon, terra Gotta, green,
blue, red, pink, separate and in manifold
combinations, stand out before him IL
is hill of painted cliffs on the sides of
the mountain that rises high above. And
the odd part of it is that each of these
exquisite colors represents different
temperature Does that startle your Gre
dulity? Even so; it is true.
When through with this beautiful
painting process these waters again come
together, and then, as if full of mischief
like a pack of small boys trying to play
hide and seek dive down and remain UNI
der the ground for space Of two miles,
and then flow out from the mouth of a
CODVenlIaaS one OF the cledreSt, mOsL
beautiful green streams imaginable.
Where these waters emerge from the
mountains into the little lakes they are
hot. boiling hot. During their dark,
underground journey they fall several
hundred feet and also many degrees in
holiness, so that when they. again see
daylight they are much cooler. This,
then, is Boiling river, an underground
mountain stream of hot water.
But you ask, where is it? Where can
( see it? 1t is in Yellowstone Park, at
Mammoth Hot Springs. 1t is one of the

WOULDN'T CARRY A CHINAMAN

"A Brooklyn officer was ahead of the

Ii drove up there in carriage with
Mayor Frederick w. Wurster and Will

expected that four policemen would
come trotting to carry the visitor into
the club house in sedan chair. The
four policemen did not appear. Sergeant
Gregory picked out the four biggest men
he could find. One of these was O'Brien,
who is as big as Mayor Gleason of Long

AGAIN EXCITED.
Strange Appearances in the Little
Town of CantOn.a

Strange Appearances IN the Little
Town of Cantonsa
A recent dispatch from Canton, in the
southern part OF this state, says that the
village is all excitement again over the
visits and miraculous occurrences growing
out of the pilgrimages to its shrine. The
attention of theo!ogians and scientists was
attracted by the appearance of an appar1-
ton connected with the Catholic church
there about August, 1892. Several cures
were effected, and thousands Of people from
all parts of the United States and Canada
visited the place. The clergy of the do
cese of Winona, as we'll as the bishop, dis
approved Of the methods of Rev. D. A.
Jones, the pastor, and he was for time
removed and not allowed to- say mass in the
church Pilgrims, in scattering groups,
have continued to visit the place since the
closing of the church, Notwithstanding the
warning and admonitions Of the bishop to
the contrary The spot where the appari-
ton appeared has undergone a change,
which some are willing to proclaim to be
wonderful and miraculous.
On very recent date Thomas Nichols, of
Duluth, was positively cured Of very Sc
we're case OF chronic rheumatism of long
standing. Sidney Boyd, justice of the peace
at VanBuren Beach, DR.. r. A. Sturgeon,
postmaster, James Manuel and others, all
prominent business men of that place, and
Protestants in religion, will verify the
above statements. Cases Of conversion and
temporary relief are exceedingly numerous,
and even actual cures could be cited. But
this particular one is held out to the world
as perfectly miraculous cure, as the man
himself will testify. He was so elated that

$50 to he given to the church. All this
took place by simply visiting the spot on
which the lonely little church stands, the
miles distant at the time. The writer is
idolatry and Misrepresentation but feels
that, if there is shrine in lonely Canton
worthy of recognition by the public press
and the Catholic hierarchy of America, this
village is just as much entitled to it as are
Lourdes, St. Anne's Tabernacle, Margrette
Mound, Knock, Ireland, Guadalupe, Mex
leo, etc. Living human beings and the best
documentary evidence can be presented to
sustain the statement that a supernatural
power has at times visited this spot and
miracles wonderful in the eyes of many
taken place.
The apparition was first seen in window
in the church. A new glass was put in, and
it reappeared with the same effect, super
natural figure appearing each time. When
the priest was sent away, the church closed
and the window covered with boards and
painted, Rt. Rev. J. B. Cotter thought to
smother further developments and revela-
tions, but without effect The painted
boards, hiding from view the pictures in the
glass, are actually undergoing transforma-
ton and assuming an appearance not at all
natural, but rather supernatural, as any
good and truthful citizen of Canton will
testify.

Anthony Kelly, the well~knoWn whole

after a two months trip in Ireland. The
primary object in visiting his native
land was to attend the great national
convention of Irishmen in Dublin,

speaks in the highest terms of the work
of that body.
In Dublin he found the people pros.
porous and to certain extent content

County Mayo-his birthplace, ne was
surprised to observe the thrift displayed
and the prosperous condition OF all

would turn their attention less TO poll
tics and more to general industries. on
the whole, Mr.. Kelly was delighted with
