TIE JOURNALS CLIPPER.

The Kansas City Journals clipper
does not remember what he clipped fol-
one column while he is clipping for
another. For instance he clipped from
the New York Tribune 1.-The Passing
OF the Hard Times, telling of the Gun
questionable revival of business in all
great centers of trade" and ssthe
reopening of factories and ''the hum
of reviving and increasing prosperity
Lapping over this in the next column
he clipped from the New York Herald

that ''calamily" bad sialked over the
whole land and al last stormed the cit

Confederate Home bill and the. anti

Mr.. Christy did not play ''hide and
go seek on any bill that was intro
duced. He did not make u trip TO the
cloak room during the session, that he
might dodge voting. He answered
every roll-call, and was at all times Il
working member on the GoOr. He
made IA strong, substantial record, and
one that the democrats of Lafayette
will appreciate and reward.
A member of the house, whose name
was on the roll not far below Mr..
Christy's, said that many times during
the session he never made up his mind
just how he would vote until Mr..

Ii Lexington wants to take the quick
road to destruction, she can keep this
bridge question up for a few years
longer without building the bridge. At
the rate we are going the town will be
talked to death before the century
closes. 1t takes something more than
talk to keep the town alive.

Be PROTECTED
The Government to Pre-
vent Their Killing
by Hunters.
Ex.Mayor Sutro and David
Starr Jordan to the
Rescue.
Revenue Cutter Richard Rush R
ceives Orders to Patrol the
Faral on Islands.

The great American Government has
str tched out its protecting arm over the
giant sealions that lnhabit the Farallones
and form one of the natural curioslties OF
this coast. II the vandals who have an
nounced their intention of killing them
for the profit to be derived from their
hides and oil attempt TO carry out their
scheme they will be confronted by the
frowning muzzles of the guns of the cutter
Richard Rush.
The threat to exterminate these animals
was made public some time ago, and ex-
Mayor Sutro and Professor David Starr
Jordan of Stanford University both took
up the cudgels In defense Of the big seaIs.
They addressed strong letters to the
United States District Attorneys office
protesting against the proposed slaughter
and asking whether there were not laws
on the statute books protecting the lions.
Ex-Mayor Sutro told United States Dis
trict Attorney Foote that if the Faral-
lones were not under the jurisdiction and
protection of the United States Govern
ment they should be, and requested that
the National authorities be communicated
with regarding the proposed killing. He
stated that it was falls, idea that the
seals we're annihilating the fish tnat run
in and out of the bay, and that this fact
was proven by the unusually large num-
Der of fish found about the Seal Rocks.
Professor Jordan wrote that 1t would. be
nothing short of criminal to destroy the
animals, as they were natural curiosity
that should not, in the interest OF science,
be allowed to become extinct. 1t was i'm
pressed on Attorney FoOte that If the seals
on the Farailones were killed those on the
Seal Rocks would also leave and that one
of the greatest attractions to tourists from
the East and interior would be destroyed.
Assistant United States Attorney Bert
Schlesinger, to whom the matter was re-
ferred, after looking up the laws carefully,
answered Messrs. Sutro and Jordan that
there appeared to be no law protecting
the Farallon seals and that the only way
of protecting them would be by an appeal
to Washington. This course was taken
by Mr.. Sutro and the facts of the case
were also transmitted by the United States
Attorneys office.
The result was that within a few days
past orders were sent out for the Richard
Rush to prevent all seal hunting on the
Farallones and to protect the animals in
every way possible. The Rush will make
regular trips to the Farallones to see that
the orders of the Government are carried
out.
In an interview last evening United
States District Attorney Foote stated that
there was no question of the jurisdiction
of the Government over the Faraliones,
and that no killing of seals would be per-
mitted.

RUTHVEN ON CATHOLICISM.

The Ex-Priest Says Rome Wants to
Rule America
Lecturer Ruthven, who says he was a
priest in Australia, lectured to large
audience at Metropolitan Temple yester-
day afternoon. His subject was 'Shall
Rome Rue American"
He held that Arch bishop Ireland had
claimed that America would be Catholic
by the year 1900. "Tney have not much
time in which to convert the country, 4"
he said, "and as they have lost Europe,
they have no chance IN America"
The speaker dwelt on the public
school question, and held that it is the
chief ambition of Rome to get absolute
control of temporal and spiritual affairs in
the United States.
Miss Pitzinger's new song, New
America, was rendered during the after
noon. There will be speaking at the
temple next Sunday by Ruthven.
