The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1900-03-17

Hoffman's Catholic Directory for 1900
will be complete in few days. 1t will
show the Catholic population of the
country to be over 10000, 900. An. effort
was made this year to obtain statistics
regarding the Church in our new pos
sessions, the Philippines, Cuba and
Puerto Rico, but Archbishop Chapelle
and Bishop Blenk advised against it,
as it was impossible to obtain accurate
statistics. Each year on the issuance of
the Catholic Directory dispute breaks
out as to the accuracy of the statistics
of the Catholic population. Inasmuch as
these figures are all obtained from the
Bishops of the diocese, the blame for
errors must lie on them. The greatest
pains are taken to secure accuracy.

Strong facial lines. the eyes OF n student
and d general air of energy are the striking
features of the st. Louis lawyer who In the
past twenty years has been interested as
counsel in litigation involving a greater
number OF millions OF dollars than perhaps
any of his brothers OF the Western bar
This man Is Wells II. Blodgett. He has
two titles-one of Colonel, which he won in
the field Of battle In the early sixties, and
the other of general solicitor Of one OF the
greatest railroad systems In the worli-lha
Wabash.
The facial lines ard the eyes which cter-
naIly give one the impression that the owner
OF them Is thinking. thinking, prepare ons
for this verdict from one OF Colonel BlCd
gett's closest personal and professional
friends:
He is essentially serious man.
But f. IS a seriousness that has no part
with gloom or pessimism.
while he is Of u. serious turn Of
mind" continues the analytical friend
''he is not beyond being a source OF
pleasure in a social gathering. He cannot
be called brilliant. If. by brilliancy is meant
shiftinss Of an electric searchlight or the
\ flaming race of a skyrockat. When he talks
which Is when he has something to say-he
talks straight ahead. more clearly than fu-
emily, more logically than eloquently"
Which fits in very we'll with Colonel
Blodgetts idea OF what a lawyer should be.
as witness the following quotations from
him:
Tho primary essentials to success
in law arc industry. application and
thorouEhncss. BriIiiancy may win one
case. but IL will not e~tablI a solid
reputation. The lawyer who waits
for nm inspiration to how him how
to handle n case is hopeless. Know
ledge of the law, and the ability to
clearly state tho vital points, are
more essential than oratory: logic is
better asset than decinmation;
brains are more valuable than the
tongue"
To quote again from the friend:
Colonel Blodgett is more considerable o.
others than any man I know. His ideas
are high ones. and his great industry is al
ways directed toward their attainment"
And TO quote again from Colonel Blodgett:
No lawyer can afford to deceive
his professional brethren. the court
yer cannot aim too high. His ambi-
tion must be to qualify himself to try
cases against the abIcst lawyers in
any court. and to at all times take
care of himself and his clients. L do
not mean that he should seek big
eases only. On the contrary, he should
welcome the small ones, and give
them his closest attention. One rea-
son is that small cases frequently de-
Nelop the finest legal points. and in
the handling of them a young man
has full opportunity to show his abil-
fly: and another is that by thorough
ness i'm his study of small cases, he
develops a habit of thOroughuesx
which he will find absolutely neces-
sRry in the successfuI handling of
big cases.''

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPI BIIC.
There is a distinct colony in St. Louis OF
n Spanish speaking people. For practical and
~ncial purposes they have organized a club.
which they call tho SpanishAmerican Club.
Together with the Young Mems Institute
Association il occupies the thres-story
building. No. 3Gis Page boulevard. The club
is the successor of the famous old Span
ssh Club which was on Fourth street. That.
however. was purely a business orsaniza-
tion. while this is principally social, as it
was called into existence by the desire for
closer relations between the numerous
young MeXicans who are sojoUrniug in this
city.
As many oe the members OF the defunct
Spanish Club have intimate relations with
the Spanish countries on the two American
Continents, they are also members of the
new club. II is. therefore. properly a
Spanish-American Club. To be a member
one must know something about things
Spanish, most of the conversation car
Red on in the clubhouse Is IN the Spanish
language. The manners and customs in the
