CATHOLICS IN WASHINGTON.
The Jesuit University and Great Francis
Monastery.

The Jesuit University and Great Francis
Monastery.
Washington is rapidly becoming the
center of catholicism in America" says
a newspaper correspondent. The
apostolic legation is located here In
addition to the ancient Jesuit univer-
sity, which was established at George
town during colonial days, we have
now what is known as the Catholic
University of Washington, n more eN-
tensive and wealthy institution, whose
faculty represents the liberal element
in the church. A year ago an enor-
nous monastery of the Order of St
Francis WIS occupied by several hun
dred monks, and is now the headquar-
tiers of the greatest foreign missionary
agency of the Catholic Church, the
Franciscan Brotherhood. All their
missionary work for the continents of
America Asia and Africa is directed
from here. The monastery, one of the
most imposing ecclesiastical edifices
in this nation is situated a mile or two
beyond the Catholic university, neaI
the soldiers home. There is a good
deal of mystery about the institution,
which gives it additional interest. The
monks are seldom seen, except when
they come or go through the little vii.
lage of Brookland, which is their rail
way station.

a CalOcSfon Hero.

Thcre are few men in Texas with
such a well developed propensity for
getting into disagreeable jobs as Col.
Hunt McCaleb, who was adjutant gen.
eral of the city forces when Galveston
was under martial law. When Gen.
Thomas Scurry was appointed to the
military command of the city by May
or Jones he at once offered the ap-
pointment of adjutant general to Col
McCaleb. Why he did so nobody ap-
peared to know. for McCaleb is not
popular. In normal times he is an
unassuming newspaper plodder OF the
most ordinary stripe. But he seems
fairly to revel in a row. and perhaps
that is why Gen. Scurry appointed
him to the responsible position of
adjutant general, and gave into his
hands the work Of managing the great
mass of detail which devolved upon
the military government.
There was no law to guide him rave
common sense. and, according TO his
story, when he needed a law right
badly to cover case which presented
itself at the adjutant generals once.

DOG KILLED BY TIGERS.
Smell of Blood Excites Animals In Lincoln
Park, Chicago.

Smell of Blood Excites Animals In Lincoln
Park. Chicago.
Women and animals joined in panic
at the Lincoln park zoo recently, when
a dog. tossed on top of the cages by
the elephant, was torn limb from limb
and devoured by two tigers. Women
screamed and the wild animals, fright
ened by the noise and excited by the
smell of blood, uttered terrible cries
that brought the park police and ami
NAL keepers from all sections of the
zoo. The elephant almost broke his
chain in his frantic efforts to free him
self.
The Inflated dog had excited the an
ger of the elephant Dutch" by con-
tinually jumping on his platform.
Winding its trunk tightly about the
dogs body the elephant swung the ca
nine high in the air and then hurled
him clear across the animal house, so
that he fell on top of the tigers cage.
His legs slipped through the iron bars,
and almost instantly were champed by
the vicious jaws of the tigress, Kitty.
Tom, her mate, assisted, and, making
successive leaps from the shelf in their
sage, they had torn all four limbs
from the dog when Keeper McCurren
appeared. The mangled dog lived but
a few minutes after being released.

A Kansas City judge has laid down
new canon in theatrical criticism.
Two men at the Standard theater in
that city who did not like the per-
formance expressed their disapproval
by kissing. They were arrested and
fined, the court deciding that while
every citizen has the right to indulge
in criticism, he has no right to dis
turb the enjoyment of others. The
learned judge apparently did not re-

Under ordinary circumstances news
that an Indian tribe is indulgins in
the wild frenzy known as the ghost
dance is enough to call up visions of
murder and rapine. In past days num-

have been preceded by such festivals.
But ghost dance now being held in
the Wichita and Kiowa reservations
of Indian territory is not believed to
presage any such terrible scenes. The
reservations named are to be opened
to white settlers when the allotment

been numbered. With the view Of
