THE CAPE NOME CRIME.

From persons now returning from
the frozen north, the sad and same
story is told by all-hardships. disease
disappointment and catastrophes in
store for those who cannot get away
from Nome.
1t is estimated that some 10000 peo-
pie have been dumped on that barren
coast during the past year. Perhaps
it is not overestimateing to average
each one as having $500 when they left
for Nome. This in plain figures means
S9,OOO,OO0 and without doubt if the true
figures were known, Gncluding the cost
of machinery and goods going to waste
on the beach,, three times this sum
would be nearer the amount of good
money placed in the INSCRIPTIONS
pockets of transportation companies
and unprincipled boomers, who neither
think nor care for those who will suffer
and die in that desolate country this
winter; nor for the suffering of hun
dreds of destitute wives and children
left behind by the fathers who be-
lieved the golden story when first told,
and hurried to raise the money, by no
matter what deprivations to their fam
lilies, to reach the new Eldorado.
1t is to be hoped that before another
mad rush is made to the Arctic regions
lately discovered that the Government
will send an expedition of reliable men
to pass upon the merits of the country
and save repetition. if possible, of the
Nome crime, and by all means, it is
to be hoped that the Government will
see to it that enough transports are
sent to Nome to bring away before
winter the stranded miners who have
been victimized by these dishonest
Transportation concerns.
The Importance that the mining in
dustry of the United States has reached
certainly claims as much attention
from the Government as any other
branch, and it certainly would be of
great good if a department could be |
set aside and the office of Secretary of |
Mining created. 1t is certainly next in |
Importance if not as important as the |
office of Secretary of Agriculture.

BISHOP HEALY DEAD.

The Catholics of New England at
large and of Boston in particular will
mourn the death of Right Rev. James
A. Healy, for twenty-five years the
bishop of Portland Me In Boston
Bishop Healy was recognized not only
as a Jealous pastor. but as a public
spirited citizen. He represented the
views and purposes of the Catholic
body of Boston on many public occa-
sions. and his eloquence as we'll as his
prudence in council did much to lessen
the prejudices that had existed. He
was a man of broad sympathies; ne
was highly gifted intellectually, and
his force of character impressed itself
wherever he appeared.
AS bishop of Portland he displayed
rare qualities in a wider field of en-
deavor. He was eminently successful
as an administrator. and the growth
of the Church in Maine is largely due
to his efforts. He was a charming
companion, a splendid conversational
list. and withaI he always bore himself
with the dignity and grace BETTING his
high station as a Catholic prelate

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
fluence. 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 will
either have no results or uncertain and
miserable ones. POPE LEO XIII.

BIG CAKES AND PIES.
Some So Large That They Have Be-
come Historic.

Last Christmas in North End road,
Fulham, there was on view an enor-
nous cake that lowered almost to the
ceiling of the confectioner's shop. 1t
was made to represent fortress, and
weighed more than 1900 pounds. In
its composition had been used 600
pounds of -four, 400 pounds of butter,
400 pounds of sugar 600 pounds Of
icing sugar, 900 pounds of currants,
45O pounds OF sultanas, 500 pounds Of
candied peel, 200 pounds of almonds,
and 5000 eggs.
Gigantic, however, as was this cake,
II cannot be compared with that which
in June, 1880, Frederick William l. re-
galed his army. After n huge repast
Of beef. wine and beer had been par
taken of, the guests, to the number
Of 10000, saw approaching an immense
car drawn by eight horses, on which
reposed a monster cake Is yards long,
5 yards broad and one-half yard thick.

deaths and funerals seem peculiar. If
the last sacrement is to be administer
ed a priest is sent for and drives in
haste to the house Of the invalid in an
open cab, carrying the sacramental
bowl and ringing q hand-bell with
short. sharp stroke as he goes. Passing
citizens doff their hats or drop to their
knees as he passes, and those within
who have heard the bell hurry to their
front doors with lighted candles in their
hands as he drives by. The greatest
amount of respect is paid to the dead,
everybody uncovering their heads as a
funeral train passes.
1t Is the custom for friends to carry
the bier from the house OF the deceased
on their shoulders for a half-block or
block before 1t is placed in a funeral
car. The latter, always gorgeous, does
not approach the residence, but waits
at respectful distance, so the last the
family sees of their loved one is that
he is being borne away by friends,
generally by kinsmen.
Ladies never attend funerals here.
Long professions are made up of car
rlages containing gentlemen only
usually one in a coach. And IL it hap
pens that the funeral occurs at an In
opportune hour of the day. when busi-
ness and professional men cannot
leave their offices, their carriages are
sent empty and long professions with
few attendants are seen. l have wit
messed funeral after funeral Of this
character, as many as forty, fifty or
sixty carriages without an occupant,
the drivers wearing badges of mourn
ing, sometimes the carriage wheels
being heavily draped. This custom was
much more generally in vogue In for
mer years than now.
The funeral cars in use among the
better classes in Havana are gorgeous
in their decorations. The more elegant
are surmounted by life-size figures,
heavily gilded, with corner ornaments
and massive cornices, also glittering
in gold trimmings. These cars are
| drawn by four, six and even by eight
horses. when people are able to pay for
| so many. The attendants, dressed in
| red livery spangled with gold, wear
white wigs, old-fashioned cockades,
knee trousers with white hosiery and
| gloves, this part of funeral being
about as gorgeous as 1t can be made
to be. Occasionally extra hearses are
| pressed into service to bear the flow-
ers, generally of metal and bisque.

WHERE HE FAILED,

He was Just as mathematic
As he possibly could be.
There was nothing problematic
About Euclid, he could see;
All the toughest propositions
lie could solve as quick as scat;
Simply tell him the conditions
And he had the answer pat.
He was crammed with information
OF all kinds, up to the brim;
Men OF every occupation
For advice came unto him;
Questions that set others irowning
He'd refer TO as "a snap;'
He could even sabe Browning,
Gould this very knowing chap.
Yet there was a dark enigma
That he couldn't figure out
That would leave on him the stigma
OF the deepest kind OF doubt
And he couldn't stand the tension
And he owned up, with a sigh,
That 1t passed his comprehension
How that gas bill came so high

City Water Not Fit to Drink.

DR.. w. Dow has received from
DR.. Philip Hillkowitz, of Denver,
chemist to the state board ofhealth,
the following results OF chemical
and meteorological examination OF
our city water. The appearance
is given as clear; color, colorless,
and odor, none. The figures below
are expressed in parts per million,
as follows:
Chlorine, as chlorides 1870. 900
Free ammonia .oo2
Albuminoid ammonia .o5S
Nitrogen as nitrates - 500
Nitrogen as nItrites o.ooo
Hardness, equivalent to
carbonate Of lime II, 900. 900
Total solids 72o. 900
Volatile and organize 44o. 900
The archaeological examination
showed 5000 colonies per cubic
centimeter of the water, also the
presence Of micro organisms cap
able of producing gas in glucose
bouillon.
AS result of the above figures
DIR. Hillkowitz is led to conclude
that the the water is not fit for
drinking purposes. Even if it is
not contaminated, the enormous
excess OF solids and the extreme
hardness would render the water
unpalatable and by interference
with digestion produce disease.
The high figures for chlorine seem
to indicate some pollution from
sewage. DIR. Hlllowitz says he
found it impossible to find the ty-
phoid bacillus. He recommends
as precautionary measure against
disease that citizens OF La Iunta
boil all water used for drinking
purposes at this season of the year
while the river is low.
