A CARD FROM BISHOP SEAMAN.

l feel it my duty to protect Catholics
and the public generally from fraud
and imposition by notifying them from
time to time that no person bearing the
name and garb of priest or sister or
any one else is authorized or permitted
10 solicit or collect in this diocese for
any purpose whatever connected with
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing
my seal and signature. Should any one
be found engaged in doing this unlaw-
ful work of collecting without such a
document he or she, as the case may
be, should be regarded by all as fraud
and an imposter. L. SEAMAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.

POPE LEO ON THE CATHOLIC
PRESS.
Nov. 20. 1899.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is
a perpetual mission. Let all who truly
and from their souls desire that re-
ligion and society defended by human
intellect and literature should flourish,
strive by their liberality to guard and
protect the Catholic press, and let
every one in proportion to his income
support them with his money and in
f7uence. for to those who devote them
selves to the Catholic press We ought
by all means to bring helps of this
kind, without which their industry viii
either have no results or uncertain and
miserable ones. POPE LEO XIII.

MANS DESIRES NoURISHED BY
HOPE.

Man is creature composed of a body
and soul. He lives by communion with
God, man, and nature. Religion is the
link which unites man and God; in
society he communes with fellowman.
and with nature in property. To pre-
serve the rights of man in this three
fold nature is the object Of the political
and social order. They embrace what
should be the fundamental principles
of all governments, viz. religious free
dom, the family, which is the basis of
society, and freedom to acquire as we'll
as protection in the possession Of prop
erty. The freedom and safeguard guar
anteed TO each individual in these as
pirations of nature begets hope in the
soul. No soul can lapse into a habitual
state Of Indifference regarding its own
good in this life. Under the light Of
taith he hopes for heaven, or eternal
happiness. Desiring God, as our su-
preme good, makes hope a supernatu-
raj virtue, which includes his love also.
Under this aspect it may take in a
part of mans selfish nature by desiring
his own happiness and its own good.
only in God.
This hope, the offspring Of faith, the
unbelieving world would call a dream.
But what can the sceptic, who calls
religion a prejudice, and hope a folly,
offer man who is beset with misery.

From the Cascades frozen gorges,
Leaping like a child at play,
Winding, widening through the valley,
Bright Willamette glides away;
Onward ever
Lovely river,
Softly calling to the sea;
Time that scars us,
Mains and mars us,
Leaves no track or trench on thee
Springs green witchery is weaving
Braid and border for thy side;
Grace forever haunts thy journey,
Beauty dimDles on thy tide,
Through the purple gates of morning,
Now thy roseate ripples dance;
Golden, then, when day. departing,
On thy waters trails his lance,
Waiting, flashing.
Thinking, FLASHING,
Limpid, volatile and free
Always hurried
To be buried
In the bitter, moon-mad sea.
In thy crystal deeps inverted,
Swings a picture of the sky.
Like those wavering hopes of Aidenn
Dimly in our dreams that lie;
ClOuded often, drowned in turmoil,
Faint and lovely, far away
Wreathing sunshine on the morrow,
Breathing fragrance round today.
Love would wander
Here and ponder
Hitler poetry would dream;
LIES old questions,
Sad suggestions,
Whence and whither?" through
thy stream.
On the roaring wastes of ocean
Soon thy scattered waves shall toss;

Shall thy silver tongue be lost
ON thV gllmmGrInP rush of Cl9dOpSS
Mocks this turbid life of mine
Racing to the wild Forever,
Down the sloping paths of time;
Onward ever,
Lovely river.

Leaves no track or trench on thee

To such Shylocks may we'll be ap-
piled the words Of the Apostle: Go to,
now. We rich men: weep and howl for
your miseries which shall come upon
you. You have stored
up to yourselves wrath against the last
days. Behold the hire of the Iaborers
=. =. which by fraud
hath been held back by you crieth and
the cry of them hath entered into the
ears of the God of Sabbaoth."
How forcibly this language applies
now to our own country. and how ear
nestly the warning should be needed
by the constituted authorities The
supreme law of the land should be en-
forced and ample protection should be
afforded to legitimate competing cor
porations, as well as to the laborin-
classes, against INSCRIPTIONS monopo-
lies.
But if labor organizations have rights
to be indicated and grievances to be
redressed. it is manifest that they have
also sacred obligations to be fulfilled
and dangers to guard against.
They should exercise unceasing vigil
lance in securing their body from the
control of designing demagogues who
would make it subservient to their own
selfish ends of convert it into a politi-
cal engine. They should also be jeal-
Gus of the reputation and good name
of the rank and file of the society, as
well as of its chosen leaders. For while
the organization is ennobled and com

A life of patient industry is sure to
be blessed with a competence, if it is
not crowned with an abundant remu-
neration. The great majority of our
leading men of wealth are indebted for
their fortunes to their own untiring
industry. Take an active personal,
| conscientious interest in the business
of your employer. Be as much concern
ca about its prosperity as if it were
your own.
Foster habits of economy and self
denial. No matter how modest your
income may be, always live under it.
You win thus protect your liberty and
business integrity and guard yourself
against the slavery and humiliation Of
debt, which is too often the precursor
and the incentive to commercial dis
honor.
While honestly striving 20 better
your condition, be content with your
station in life and do not yield TO an
inordinate desire of abandoning your
present occupation for what is popu-
larly regarded as a more attractive vo-
cation. Remember that while the
learned professions are overcrowded
there is always room for skilled and
unskilled labor and that it is far better
to succeed in mechanical or manual
work than to fail in professional life.
Be not overeager to amass wealth, for
they who are anxious to become rich,
fall into temptations and into the
snares of the devil, and into many I'M
profitable and hurtful desires which
drown men in destruction and perdi-
ton.

feverish ambition to accumulate a
fortune which may be called our ma
tional distemper, is incompatible with
piece Of mind.
Moderate means, with a contented
spirit, are preferable to millions with
out.
sobriety will be an angel of tranquil
ity, will be an angel of comfort to your
self and family. While this virtue
should be cultivated by all men, it
ought to be especially cherished by the
laboring classes, who are so much eX-
posed to the opposite vice. Intemper-
ance has brought more desolation to
homes than famine or the sword, and is
a more unrelenting tyrant than the
grasping monopolist.

Farmers Institute.

Yesterday being Il very cold and stormy
day the institute did not open until
afternoon. There were then about
thirty in attendance. Mayor Hanna
made an appropriate address Of welcome
to which the president, E N. Taggart, fit
tingly replied. The afternoon program
was carried out as far as possible. Hon.
Geo. Van Houten occupied considerable
of the time, and his remarks were in
structive and entertaining.
In the evening the room was well fill
ed although the weather was singing
cold. Mr.. Van Houten spoke for an
h our and half on 1.-The Orient and Oc-
cident." The lecture was mostly de-
scriptive of life and customs in Japan,
China and India. He spoke with fuency
and expressiveness. He held the at.
tention of the audience splendidly and
words of approval were on the lips Of
all. His descriptions were of those
things most noticeable to stranger in
those lands. Mr.. Van Houten made
many friends while here. He is at
present secretary of the State Agricul-
tural Society and is an able and most
honorable man.
The sessions this forenoon were lightly
attended but this afternoon it is expect
ed there will be many more there. Hon.
b. P. Morton, of Cresco, Howard county,
State Dairy Commissioner, is present to
day, and dairying is the principal theme
Mr.. Norton advocates larger appropri-
alton by the state for the better support
OF his department in order to make il
more useful. Tonight an interesting
program, as heretofore published, will be
carried cut by the town people.
Gou. Shaw is to be here tomorrow and
address the institute at 80 p. m. The
attendance tomorrow will likely be very
| large.

given entertainments mt Ross and at

At the court house he was greeted with
big audiences. Monday evening his in.
strument failed to work very satisfactor-
lily and the results were not as good as
they should have been, but Tuesday
evening 1t was very much better. More
experience will enable him to do better
work with the instrument. He has a
most excellent series OF views taken by
himself. lie carried his kodak with him
on the whole trip and got some splendid
and most interesting views showing the
soldiers of the 5lst in camp, in skirmish
line and in the action OF battle, wounded,
decd and dying men, Spanish prisoners,
Insurgents, native huts, grand old
Catholic churches and cathedrals, tropi-
cal scenery, life Of the natives and scores
OF other subjects are nicely illustrated
with views taken by him. BY seeing
these views and hearing Mr.. Krell de-
scoibe them in his realistic way, one
learns much more OF those distant pos
sessions and Of the struggle our army
had over there.
Mr.. Krell has hundreds Of friends in
this county who are glad to know Of his
safe return to family and OF his welfare.
He resigned the passionate of the country
circuit Of the NJ. T.. church here to
enter the army to fight Spain, going as
private. He was made corporal and
was good and trus soldier. He had the
respect and confidence of the officers and
privates, and his influence in the com.
pany told for good among the boys. 1t
was financial sacrifice for him to go
but we think he has something of
fortune in these views as they show the
country over there and the was as it was.

Why Women are Nervous.
British Medical NewsD


The frequent cases OF nervous pros.
tration or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women Ego all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part OF ply 'icians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms Of nerv-
GUS diseases which are readily traced to
the poisons producing them. Further
research leads ID the belief that alum is
prevailing cause OF so.called nervous
prostration, for the symptoms it pro-
duces on the nervous. system after its
absorption into the blood are very re.
markable indeed. Experiments ply
siologically made upon animals by Orfila
Professor Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and
others, show that alum frequently pro.
duces no visible symptoms for many
days after its introduction into the body.
Then follow loss Of appetite and other
aimentary disturbances, and finally a
serious prostration OF the whole nervous
system. The most prominent physi.
clans now believe that nervous prostra-
ton" and many affections Of the nerves
from which both men and women suffer
are caused by the continued absorption
of alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical men
are unaware to the extent to which
salts OF alumina may be introduced into
the body, being under the impression
that the use Of alum in bread is prohibi.
ted. Alum, however, is still used sur.
rupttiously to some extent to whiten
bread, and very largely in making cheap
kinds OF baking powders. In families
where baking powder is generally used
great care should be exercised to pro-
cure only those brands made from cream
Of tartar. The alum powders may gen.
orally be distinguished by the lower
price at which they are sold.

were served.
