Leo XIII on Temperance.

We cannot sufficiently praise the
prelates who, in the recent council.
with weightiest words condemned the
destructive vice of intemperance. de-
claring it to be a perpetual incentive
to sin and a fruitful root of all evils,
plunging the families of the intemper-
ate into direst ruin and dragging num-
berless souls down to everlasting per-
dition. Hence. we esteem worthy of
all commentator the noble resolve of
your pious associations, by which they
pledge themselves to abstain totally
from every kind of intoxicating drink
Nor can it at all be doubted that shis
determination is the proper and the
truly effiicacious remedy for this very
great evil. But greatest of all in this
matter should be the zeal Of priests
who, as they are called to instruct the
people in the word of life, and to
mould them to a Christian morality,
should also and above all walk before
them in the practice of virtue. Let
pastors therefore do their best to drive
the plague of intemperance from the
fold of Christ b. assiduous preaching
and exhortation, and to shine before all

PICTURESQUE ATHENS.
The Streets Are Made Brilliant By
Marble Houses.

Of the three mountains inclosing the
plain OF Athens, Mount Parnes is the
highest, (4.640 feeD; Mount Pentelicus,
(3.641 feet), with its regular triangular
shape suggesting the pediment of a
temple, is the most imposing; but the
thyme-covered, honey producing Hy-
mettus, 1855 feeD, has always been
most intimately associated with Ath-
ems. It lies nearer to the city, and
from almost all the streets and all the
windows looking eastward can be seen
its curved line marking the blue sky
above, except on the rare gray days,
when clouds resting on its top are an
infallible sign of rain. The various
hues of the mountains and the smaller
hills forming an inner circle around
Athens, combined with the view of the
sea, lend an additional effect of airiness
and buoyancy to the aspect. In the
long, straight streets of the new town,
open from end to end, nothing i'm
pedes the view on either side.
In praising Athens we must not draw
d veil over her defects. Such improve
ments as are indispensable TO a modern
city have not kept pace with her
growth in extent and aff1uence. The
stages of this progress can be seen in
the structural inequalities even of con-
tiguous dwellings. These dwellings
may be chronologically divided into
three categories: Those of the first set
tiers, when all were poor, and the
main necessity was at any rate to be
housed; those of the thrifty citizens,
who felt the want of more sUace and
greater convenience, but had little re-
gard for external appearance or in

unqualified success and of so much orac-

Lieutenant Johns have decided to open

confident that once the institution is es-
tablished it will be permanent and self

moral and financial support OF all the

Is so short and the need so urgent thot

The Herald, desiring in every way to
aid the good cause, has given Captain

There are many working women here
who find it almost impossible to make
both ends meet from the money earned
by the few DAYS work they can secure
each week. Others have children to sup

children may be left and cared for while

Washington, Jan. 4.-The representa-

reference TO a report from San Fran
cisco to the effect that the Sugar trust
was determined to have a representa-

that it had been arranged for the
California legislature to elect Samuel
Shortridge. 1t was reported that
Spreckels was behind the scheme.
Senator Perkens, in denying the re-
port, said:

true or founded on fact. | have known
Mr.. Spreckels and Mr.. Shortridge for
