The encyclcal recalls the early history

rights enjoyed by Catholics, and condemns

by party pa ssion on the matter,
His holiness recognizes the attemp. of
the authorities to minimize the prejudice
to Catholics by the education laws of th,
province. but says that this is INADEQUATE
He eShortS tie faithful to continue their
demand for their rights, but says they
should not reject partial concessions which

Official Notice Given That They
Must BE Adopted.
The text of the Interstate Commerce
Commission decision, extending for twu
years the time in which railroads must
equip their cars with train brakes and
automatic couples, was made public yes
teTday. Tie law was passed I'm 1898
and the time for making the improvements
would have expired January L 1898.
The railroads asking for an extension
included nearly all in the country. The
decision says they own 1,164,705 cars,
Of which $50. .539 are equipped with auto
matte oouplers and asa, ,192 with train
brakes,
Loss of revenue by the railroads, ow-
ing Ia the hard times, is given as the
Chief reason for extending the time. 1t
is shown that the net receipts of the rail-
roads OF the country dropped from S1o9,-
o46,630 in 1898 to $50, 137 $40 in 1896.
In 1894 the net receipts were only Sl9,-
663, ,SS2. Attention is called, however 10
the fact that Some roads have paid divi-
dends and almost ignored the law.
The decision requires the companies TO
make senli-annual statements of the num-
ber of freight cars and engines equipped
with train brakes and couplers.

Softly the snowflakes are falling to-

and good will to many happy homes
this Christmas eve.
Lovingly they fall on the old brown
house on the hillside, for they have
been friends for hundred years or
more. Wrapped in its snow white

Enter the long, wide hall and pass

AS soon as I get on deck you open

reach the scene of conflict. A hundred

climbing on the deck. Rushing past

the savages, holding the hose nozzle

big fellow was just about to drive
spear into Binnie when the hot water
came. The first drop that touched the
naked skin of the savage caused him
to utter a yell of pain and drop his
spear. AS the water touched the other
savages they became panic stricken

and swept the savages before him like

low. But the attack met a strong re-
pulse and the small arms and ma
chine-guns kept up a steady rattle
Still the savages kept getting nearer
and nearer. They fairly swarmed
around the yacht. and the nearest ca
noe was only a few feet away.
The engineer down below was trying
to fix the connecting rod, and Mr.. Os-
tend ran here and there giving orders.
He encouraged the boys, who kept up
rapid fire with the small arms and
made many a savage stop fighting.
But the Savages still kept getting
nearer and nearer. Now the largest
canoe touched the side of the yacht and
the yelling horde was just about ready
to climb aboard. Those on the Califor-
MIA made brave fight, but would soon
have been overpowered by the hun
dreds against them if it had not been
for Binnie. Seeing the way the fight
was going the San Francisco boy sud
denly decided that something desperate

tremble. At the same moment the
canoes started for the California, at
a signal from the chief.
Clang, went the bell in the engine
room, and the yacht started forward.
Faster and faster it went, until it
fairly flew over the water. The first
canoe it struck was cut in two. and
the bowling savages scattered in all
directions. Another canoe was served
in the same way, and the yacht grad
ually drew nearer the passage through
the coral reef. The savages in the
canoes on all sides, becoming fright
ened at the fate of those that had been
struck by the yacht, showed an incH-
nation to get out of the way. The
passage was now only a few hundred
feet away, and it looked as if the
yacht would soon glide through.
And SO it would have done had there
not been an accident in the engine
room. One of the bolts in the con-
Meeting rod had slipped out, and the
engine came to a standstill. AS the
tide was coming in, the yacht quickly
slowed down. The savages saw their
chance and began the attack.
