civilization. When feudalism and rebel
lion showed their head in Europe. it was
the Pope of Rome who rose to suppress
them.
Referring to the controversy between
Frederick Barbarossa and Alexander Ill
the lecturer said that the Pope made the
lofty tyrant sue for peace. This showed
the spirit of the papacy in the twelfth GEN.
tury. Were it not for the Popes letters and
literature would have died out at this time.
The church established lis universities

The sects, with all the money OF the
states, have established only 81.
Turning to Ireland Father ORyan salo
that she would never be accused OF want
of loyalty to the vicar of Christ on earth
the sovereign Pontiff. And when Ireland
was most Catholic her schools were re-
nowned throughout the civilized worlo
and her monks bore the torch OF learning
into benighted lands.
The church fostered the printing press,
and before the end of the century marking
| the discovery of printing close to 1000 BOOKS
were published from presses IN Catholic
institutions.
1t would be impossible to show that the
church has been opposed to scientific re-
search, for the church and SCIENCE went
hand in hand Referring to Calico, the
speaker claimed that the old story that
the astronomer had been imprisoned for
saying The earth was round was false.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-02-07

Calico was punished for misinterpretatior
of the Scriptures. Nothing is said by mer
who bring up this Calico story about the
Danish Protestant astronomer who was
told by council of state that his scientific
work was obnoxious, and who then turned
to Rudolf, the Catholic ruler of Austria.
The Popes gave their approval to Calico,
and 1t was Pope who took up and estab-
Iished the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
Thus the Catholic church has been the
keeper of art and science.
To-day is heard the cry from Armenia

The results of MohammeGan rule in Eu-
rope we're reviewed. Some of the coun-
tries affected are, as Father Organ said
but the memory OF name. The crusades
were organized by the Popes. and the cru

rule, and they gave Europe many other
benefits. ALI historians agree that these
crusaders were the victors over despotism.
The crescent forever waned in the horizon

The Catholic church preserved letters,
patronized art, has been in the vanguard
of civilization, and she holds the same
place to-day.
There are those who say her days of use
fulness are over; but they know not of
her place in the world. She has nothing
to fear from the enlightenment of the
nineteenth century. The needs of this
century have as much use of her as any
former century. She alone, as in all ages,
has defended and can alone uphold the
bulwark of humanity-the sacredness of
the marriage ties. She alone has never
parted with her birthright for a mess of
pottage. The Roman Pontiff has been
advocating the rights of humanity
through all ages. Leo XIII has thrown
open the library of the Vatican to show
the world what the Catholic church has
done for humanity. The Catholic church
to-day isa pillar of light for advancing hui
manity.

A POOR DAY FOR FAvoR1TEs

Favored by magnificent summer

by members of the fair sex, many of whom
are cultivating decidedly strong PEN

sport was unmarried by any accidents.
The fields were not large enough to be
unwieldly and well classed, furnished
some great specializing. The favorites
captured two of the six events. The
plungers were out in full force and the
heavy wagering was in marked contrast
to the 'piking" of the past two weeks at
the old track.

was hot choice, backed from 8 to 5 to :

threes, with the Cambridge stable duo,
Perseus and Yankee Doodle, next in de.

mount out in the lead, but after showing
the way for something over half the dis
lance had enough, and gave way to the
Cam bridge stables pair, who struck the
stretch on nearly equal terms, closely fol-
lowed by Terrier, Santa Bella and Logan.
Chorn, on the latter, now began riding
hard, and a furlong from home was in
front, and drawing away won cleyerly by
a couple of lengths. Yankee Doodle beat
his stable companion, PerseGs, out head

FOR A SEWER SYSTEM.

Mayor Sutro Argues Before tho Street
Committee.
Mayor Sutro was before the Street Com
mittee of the BOARD of Supervisors yester-
day to urge that general system of sew
ers be adopted for the region south OF
Golden Gate Park rather than that indie
pendent and fragmentary sewers be put
dowr.
Residents and other small property
owners urged immediate relief for GER
tain quarters. They declared that in
many places their houses had been
swamped during the recent rains and that
they could not endure another winter with
present conditions; that if they had to
wait until a complete system of sewers
was devised and put down their property
would be ruined.
The Mayor said that the main portion of
the City was suffering from imperfect
sewerage caused by an absence of system,
and this state of affairs should not be ex-
tended to the suburbs in face of this ex-
perience; that it would be waste of
money.

The Proceedings.


At 1898 the convention was called to order
by Mr.. Taubeneck, chairman Of the national
committee, and the proceedings were opened
with prayer by Rev. w. R. L. Smith, of the
Third Baptist church of st. Louis.

dress Of welcome

The chairman asked such members of the
executive committee as were in the body OF
he hall to step UP to the platform. Among
those who thus advanced was Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease, who was warmly cheefed Chairman
Taubeneck introduced as temporary chairman
OF the convention Senator Butler, OF North
Carolina, saying that he had been chosen by
acclamation and without dissenting voice, in
o committee of 140 members, and expressing
the belief that when the convention adjourned
1t would have accomplished its work just rs
unanimously. (Cheers.)
Senator Butler was received with three
cheers, which he characterized as "a cyclone
Of patriotism" All history taught, he said,
that there always came crisis in the affairs
OF men when humanity was raised to higher
level according as the men on whose shoulders
the responsibility rested were able to meet
the crisis with wisdom and patriotism icheers),
and to solve 1t to the betterment OF humanity.

Probably never in the political his
tory of Missouri, and certainly never
. IN the history of the republican party,
was a state convention attended by
such large crowds as the Republican
state convention at Springfield. For
several days the metropolis of south
west Missouri was filed with thou
sands of republicans. They came from
every city, town, county and township
in the state, came prepared to stay and
''whoop it up for the man of their
choice, and ''whoop it up" they
did. During the days and nights
which the republican hosts had pos
session of the city there was marching,
cheering and speech making. Every
candidate for governor had his parti-
sans. and occasionally two partisan
crowds would meet, and then there
would be friendly rush for the possess
sion of banner. and when it was over
there were torn clothes, ruined hats
and muddy lacks.
Baldwin's opera house was not capa-
Bile of holding the convention crowd.
Neither was the city equal to the task
Of caring for them. There were not
beds enough to go round, and comfort-
able sleeping places commanded a
premium.
