Washington Hesing was the son of An
ton Caspar Hesing, conspicuous in Re-
publican political and newspaper circles
Of Chicago for many years prior to and
after the great fire. He was born in Gin
%cinnati, May IA, 1s49, and came with his
parents to Chicago in 1854, remaining u
resident of the city ever since, save when
absent in travel or study at the univer-
stiles.
He crowded into scarce half a century
every experience that he could find in life,
enjoyable or otherwise. The spirit Of mod
ern rush appeared to be ever upon him
and to keep him to the fore. His school
ing leaped from the common school to Os-
%nabrueck, Hanover; his university life
from the University Of Chicago to Yale
and from Yale to Berlin and Heidelberg.
He read international law, literature Of
all nations, absorbed political economy
and history.

finest, the most delicate. the most IRE
sistible force lies in the mutual touch
OF human lives. To mix with men and
women in the ordinary forms of social
Intercourse becomes a sacred function
when carries into it the true spirit.
To give a close, sympathetic attention
to every human being we touch; to try
to get some sense of how he feels, what
he is, what he needs; to make in some
degree his interest our own-that dis
position and habit would deliver any
one of US from isolation or emptiness.

island he was given his choice between
going to prison and going to France as
minister from Hayti. Manigat chose the
French mission. but President Faure re-
fused to accept him. Another good coup
accomplished by Sam was his suppression
of the riot concerning Fouchard, the min

with embezzlement. Sam afterward dis.
lodged Fouchard. The latter's fight was
taken up by the minister, but Sam threw
out of power the entire cabinet. He met

story structure and was crowded with
guests. 1t was bitterly cold and the oc-
cupants Of the hotel, driven from the ele-

PEELED to seek safety by means Of the fire
escapes. Dressed only in their night
clothes they suffered greatly from the
cold. but it is believed that all were res

Reports Many Converts.

Cardinal Gibmons, in 4 Catholic
Church paper, makes the statement
that there are received into the church
every year in this country 10000 con-
verts. He admits that this figure is
only estimated by calculating on q
basis of actual members received in
the archdiocese Of Baltimore. During
an average year he had 700 converts.
In Baltimore there is n Catholic pOpu-
lation Of 100000. In 1O,OOO,OOO CathO-
lies there should be Mt that rate about
10000 converts every year. In some
well-known churches the yearly num-
Der Of converts runs up to very near
100. The Redemptorists in Boston have
received about LOO since their estab-
lishment there. In the archdiocese of
New York last year 1.20S were receiv-
ed. In the cathedral of Baltimore the
highest number received in a year was
forty-six. In the Church Of the lmmac-
ulate Conception, Boston, the average
yearly crop is over fifty. Henceforth
complete statistics on this point Of con-
versions are to be compiled, and esti-
mates are to give way to provable to-
tails.

this appear to James that it occurs
again and again in his epistle. I'm
many things we all stumble" he
writes. 1T any stumble not in word,
the same is a perfect man, able to bri-
die the whole body Also" II this cob
fession Of failure and magnifying of
the Office Of the tongue be then exag-
gerated. let anyone sit down quietly
and think of the sins and cruelties of
human speech. The careless words
which no repentance a call back
again, the rash promises which 1t has
cost us so much to fulfill, the express
sion Of the lower nature which has
shamed the higher, the confessions Of
evil and Weddings to %falsehood, the
hot, angry words which sober thought
condemned-these are some Of the
perils Of the tongue.
