Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 10. - Bishop
Fink, of the Roman Catholic diocese OF
Leavenworth and Kansas City, Kan
had read in all the parishes of the do
cese Sunday a letter forbidding the
members of the Catholic church from
attending the Irish-American picnic to
be held in Kansas City, Kan, next Sun
day.
Bishop Fink gave as his reason for
placing a ban on the picnic that Sunday
was holy day on which all Catholics
were obliged to do their duty toward
the church and God and that public
picnic was not fit observance of the
day. He also said that holding picnic
on the Sabbath was in direct violation
of the laws of the Catholic church, and
anyone taking part in such celebra-
ton on that day was guilty of an Of
fense in the sight of God

Almost Incredible Mortality of Bn-

Almost Incredible Mortality of Bn-
tnvin, on the Island of Jnvn.
Eliza Ruhamah Scidmorc, author of
"Jinrilsisha Days." contributes to the
Century an article on "Down to Java"
No Europeans live at Tandion Prick
nor in the old city of Batavia, which
from the frightful mortality during
two centuries was known as "the grave
yard of Europeans" The banks and
business houses, the Chinese and Arab
quarters, are in the "old town." but
Europeans desert that quarter before
sundown and betake themselves to the
new town" suburbs, where every
house is in n park of its own and the
avenues are broad and straight, and all
the distances are magnificent. The city
of Batavia, literally fair meadows
grandiloquently "the queen of the
east" and without exaggeratian "the
gridiron of the east" dates from 1921,
when the Dutch removed from Bantam,
where quarrels between Portuguese.
Javancse and the East India company
, had been disturbing to trade for 10
years, and built Fort Jacatra at the
mouth of a river off which a cluster of
islands sheltered fine harbor.
Its position in the midst of swamps
was unhealthy and the mortality was
so appalling as to seem incredible.
Dutch records tell of $1,000 soldiers and
sailors dying in the government hos
pital between 1714 and 1776, and that
more than 100000 people died within
the city walls between 1880 and 1852,
the place at no time claiming over 4O,-
600 inhabitants all told. The people
were long in learning that those who
went away to the higher suburbs to
sleep and who built houses of the most
open construction, to admit of the
fullest sweep of air, were free from
the fever of the walled town surround
ed by swamps, cut by stagnant canals
and facing a harbor the mud banks of
which were exposed at low tide. The
city walls were destroyed in this cen
tury, the quaint old air-tight Dutch
buildings were torn down and streets
were widened; and there is now a great
outspread town of red-roofed, white
washed houses, with no special features
or picturesqueness to make its street
scenes either distinctively Dutch or
tropical. Modern Batavia has 100000
inhabitants, less than a tenth of whom
are Europeans. While the last century
Stadhuis might have been brought from
Holland entire, steam tramway starts
from its door and thence shrieks its
way to the farthest suburb, the tele-
phone helloes from center to suburb

living possible.-Century.
