ANOTHER VIEW OF SPAIN.
Tribute to the spsnish People and to
tho Queen In Particular.

Tribute to the spsntsh People and to
the Queen In Particular.
There is much appreheasio about
Spain In this country. Lord Sails
bury's division of nations ''as the liv-
ing and the dying" and his descrIp-
tion OF dying states rs those where
"disorganization and decay are ad-
vancing" have been construed as an
intentional. but not disguised. reiiec-
ton on Spain. But she has brave.
hospitable. noble. generous people.
Those who think well of her cannot
but hope and believe that misgovern-
ment is not stereotyped. The old
should vanish In the presence and
power of the new. There Is much in
the political and ecclesiastical history
Of Spain that is of thrilling interest.
Her sacrifices and struggles in the past
for national independence and for po-
litical and religious rights by portion
of her people should not be forgotten.
In England We have before us the
demonstration that constitutional
limited monarchy is not inconsistent
with the highest civilization and the
largest personal liberty. Spain has n
constitution. adopted In 1876. which.
with the exception OF the unhailowed
union of church and state. n curse al
ways and everywhere. has many prin-
cipies very similar to those in our form
OF government. In Spain there are
men like Morct. Sasnsta. SIlveia and
Campos. who are broad minded states
men. cultured and patriotic. and We
may reasonably expect that they will
rise superior to the unfavorablc en-
vironmcnts which block the pathway
Of that country and place their his
toric land. not among tho Arst-ciass
powers OF Europe. but alongside those
OF lesser rank. which are not less dis
tinsuishcd than their great neighbors
for all that promotes real Industrial
prosperity. and for the recognition OF
those personal rights which lie at the
foundation OF the best political insti-
tutions. II iS fortunate for Spain that

Garden OF south Africa.

Durham is well called the garden of
South Africa. II certainly is quite the
prctticst place in that part Of the
world. It is scmi-tropical in climate
and moist. being by the sea. and is
therefore green and flowery from the
shore ZIP to the highest encircling hills.
The town lies on the almost land
locked bay, touching the sea. how
ever. with its eastern suburbs. The
hills are dotted with pretty villas in
charming gardens. where flowers. trees
and shrubs grow. The main method
of locomotion here Is in rickshaws
pulled by stalwart Kafilrs. clad In the
most fantastic costume that the kafiir
brain can conceive and execute. They
null the light little vehicles with a
long. even, swift step. which wears the
puller out in two years. by which time,
however, they have earned enough to
retire to their native kraals and buy a
few wives. who will henceforth do All
the work for them. while they can lie

From the Fishing Gazette: Some
rather curious instances Of fishing have
been published in the papers lately.
One I think may lead scoffcrs to say
rs II likely7" and make other re-
marks. This. however. has been print
ed. and I am n firm believer in any
thing that appears in print. Some men
out in piichard boat were having tea
together. Just then n shark. about
seven or eight feet long. was seen
swlming around them. A line was put
out. and the creature was soon caught
and disposed Of. the belly being opened
and the liver cut out and put aside for
medicinal purposes. and the body
thrown back again into the sea. After
tea a line was again used for the pur-
pose of catching n few Writings. when.
to the great surprise Of the men. the
first fish that came to hook was this
sclf-same shark-alive. Beyond the
fact that 1t seemed to have caught n
slight cold through its belly being open
1t appeared all right, and not in the
least bilious.

Correspondence Intermountain Cathoic)
Kemmerer, Wyo, Nov. 25-An event
of more than usual interest to Catholics
occurred in this newborn mining town
Monday and Tuesday. Nov 90 and q. 1t
eXemplified what western generosity
can accomplish and what a fund of zeal
there is in some of our western Catho-
lie populations. a fair was held in
Keenan's hail to meet the generous eff
forts put forth by Mr.. p. c. Quealy,
who has been the prime mover in the
construction of the beautiful little stone
Catholic church that now graceS our
$pWn. All answered our popular Father
CaSey's call with willingness and en-
listed the help of many of our good
Protestant fellow citizens. The result
is that we have in two nights cleared
over $500. We propose to GO on beauti-
flying our very creditable church build
ing until it is interiorly as we'll as eX-
teriorly one of the neatest and prettiest
in this diocese.
We would mention quite number of
names that are worthy of praise, but
must restrict ourselves to few. On
Monday night the most prominent
workers were Miss Maggie Mocler Miss
Kate Coleman, little Misses Callahan
and James, also little Arthur Callahan.
Among the generous givers were the
most prominent business men IN our
town.
Tuesday night was as brilliant as the
preceding, and it was a spirited con-
test when Miss Ellen Davis could over
come the popularity and surpass the
zeal of Miss Mocler for the diamond
ring. Father Casey has thanks treas
ured up for the kindness of his good
people. The list of prizes was as fol-
lows:
The diamond ring for the most popu-
lar young lady was captured by Miss
Flle- Davis. Frank Kidd won the sill
yer tea service, and the other prizes
were distributed as follows: Doll, An
ME Callahan; folding bed, Mrs. A. L.
Bowlby; guitar, w. E. Russell; silver
cake basket. Mrs. A. e. Beamer; will
low rocker, L. n. Higgins; lamp, Otis
Rife; macintosh. Harry Gesas; sofa

The dance and supper given each
evening were we'll attended. the music
by Goes orchestra being first class.
