lands letter has just been received here.
1t deals at length with the opportunity
before the Catholic church in English
speaking countries and it lays especial
emphasis on the fact that the English
language is circling the globe. All this
the archbishop points out cannot be too
strongly impressed on the authorities Of
the church. "It is a broad, plain fact in
the geography Of the world" he says, "a
fact daily becoming broader and palmer
that Englsh-speaking countries arer con-
stantIy growing with a speed that moth
ing seems able to arrest, in territory and
in influence. 1 certainly shall not be-
little the spheres of influence Of language
other than the English, or deny in the
least the Importance to the church Of
countries speaking these languages; let
due place be given to all agencies in the
great work of religion"
However, he proposes a new mission for
the EngIish-speaking countries and urges
that greater efforts be made TO spri al
the Catholic religion IN English-speaking
countries.

under the above acts and proclamation
can all be proved, anl any question aris-

ton to acquire any interest whatever in
the land in dispute can then be deter

We are of the opinion that the case
made out by the plaintiff was not such
as to entitle him to a mandatory injunc-
ton and that the court of original iur.s-
dict:on erred in determining the cause
without jury. The decree of the su-

reversed, and The case is remanded with

attached TO the caboose Of the train and
young Harrah was brought to this city

scious when he reached this city and was
taken at once to St. Anthony's hospital

EMMA NEVADA AT GUTHRIE
VIII Appear at Guthr els New Opera
House Mny7


Guthrie. o. T., April 26.--The world-re-
nowned cantratrice, Nine. Emma Ne
vada, has been secured under a heavy
guarantee to appear in the new opera
house at Guthrie on the night of May L.
The Nevada has consented to fill but
twC 7ty- three engagements in concert. and
Y he nearest points to Guthrie where she
will appear are Joplin. Mo, and Little
hock, Ark. The Santa Fe will likely run
an excursion to Guthrie on the 7th. This
engagement is creating much interest,
and it is believed no trouble will be ex-
perienced in selling every seat in the new
opera house at 50 and $3.50 a seat. Nine
Nevada is the greatest American singer
living. She was jeweled by Queen Vic
toria, entertained by the czar of Russia
and last January dinner was given in
her honor by President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley When the Spanish-American war
broke out Nine. Nevada was singing in
Madrid, Spain. As the diva appeared on
the stage the Dons were amazed at the
audacity of an American appearing before
them at such a time. Shouts and Kisses
filed the air, and a riot ensued The
diva. although trembling with fear, rush
ed off the stage, grabbed a large Ameri-
can flag and defed the maddened crowd.
Later she was spirited out of Spain with
Minister Bellamy Story. Later she was
entertained on the battleship Olympia"
by Admiral Dewey, and now owns the
battlehag carried by the Olympia" dur
ing the battel of Manila Bay. This flag,
together with the coming tower telescope
Of the Olympia are placed on the stages
where the diva sings. The Nevada was
born in California and was named by the
people Of California after the state of
Nevada. When she appeared in Chicago
in 1855, the people went wild with en-
thusiasm, ard after her performance, ig-
noring Patti, unhitched the horses from
Nine Nevada's carriage and hauled the
vehicle to the Grand Pacific hotel. Ne
vada receives 5000 for singing three
times in grand opera each evening. Two
weeks after her Guthrie date she will be
in Paris. Marcus DAILY, the copper king,
has presented her a mansion in the
French capital. The Guthrie engagement
of the Nevada will be the most notable
ever known in the southwest and it is
predicted that the new opera house will
be jammed to the ceiling.
