eating the Bullying
School Wall.
The Contractors Will Not Get Their
Money for the Job Until It Is
Well Done.

The bullying sustaining wall at the North
Cosmopolitan school, which has become SO
insecure as to threaten to fall and leopard
ize the lives of the pupils of the institu-
ticn, was the subject of considerable dis
cussion at the meeting of the Buildings
and Grounds Committee of the Board of
Education yesterday.
The representatives of M. Brennan &
Son, the contractors. were present, and
were asked many pointed questions re-
garding the construction of the wall,
whether it was put up according to speci-
fications and whether the materials used
were those called for by the plans.
The contractors frankly admitted that
the wall is insecure, and that it might fall
if the earth back of IL should exert much
more pressure, but denied that they are
responsible for the condition of the struct-
ure. They claimed that the wall was con-
structed according to the plans, and that
the architect that drew them is the one to
whom the board should look for redress.
They admitted, however. that the work
and expense of rebuilding the wall de-
wolves upon them, and agreed TODD the
job.
The committee was far from being salts
fed with the state of affairs, however, and
spent some time in examining samples of
concrete that had been taken from the

Sale of Seats the Largest in the His.
tory of Musical Events in
This City.

The engagement of the Tavary Opera
Company which begins at the Baldwin
Theater February 3 promises to be a bril-
liant success in more ways than one. The
sale of seats began yesterday morning at 9
O'Clock, though long before that time 200
or more people were lmpatiently waiting
in front of the Baldwin for the doors to
open.
1t was a fashionable set of people. too,
found scrambling for the first choice,
and they kept it up pretty much all day.
The sale of seats covers the first TWO weeks
of the engagement, and Business Manager
Morganstein says it IS the largest ever
held in the history of musical events in
this City. The days sales amounted to a
little over $500.
Last season the Tavary Company came
here practically unknown, but before
three performances had been given there
was just such rush as was witnessed yes
terday Wagner nights" seemed to be
most in demand by the music-loving
and fashionable throng, though every
performance was in substantial demand.
The first night promises to be not only
all that could be looked for in the musi-
cal line, but a brilliant social event as
well. A theater party of forty music
lovers of the ultra-fashionable set will be
one OF the events or the evening. Press
Representative Ralph PIncus says one of
the features of the Tavary season will be
the Wednesday matinees at popular
prices. The repertoire for the first and
second weeks is as follows:

And how do we find the case after the lapse
of the intervening centuries? What single
Protestant republic has risen in Europe above
the ruins of Catholic despotism? Is Germany,

REPUBLICS OF THE NEW WORLD.
But events occurring toward the close Of the
fifteenth century opened up new world to
civilization. Isabella, the Ca tholic of CASTLE,
commissioned the Genoese navigator to prove
his faith IN the rOtundity of the earth and to
open up TO civilization and Christianity the
unknown land beyond the Western waters.
The chimera OF Columbus assumed the garb
OF fixed fact, and new continent, boundless
in resources, lay open to the conquest OF
civilization and Christianity. Here was to be
continent the seed of that well-developed
civilization which, in Europe, had had the
growth of centuries. Here were to be estab-
iiShed those governmental germs which should
develop lnto the most perfect type of civil or
ganism. From Alaska to Patagonia the soil
seems to have been fertile for republican prin-
eiples. Since Brazil has transformed er linn
TIED monarchy into republic the whole OF
South America, with the exception of the colo
MES OF Guiana, is covered over with republics.
And the populations OF these South American
republics is almost exclusively Catholic. The
same statement may be made to the Mex
lean and Central American republics.
CATHOLICS IN THE UNITED STATES.
And how have Catholics conducted them
selves during the growth of this greatest and
best republic of the world? Have they done
their full proportion of the work in laying the
foundations of the Government and rearing
the superstructure of her greatness? Have

"Mr. Moody has a popular and very

The latest available fgures give the Catholic
