to civilize the North American Indian than
any other agency of colonial times. and
they did il In the face of fearful obstacles
martyrdoms as terrible as any recorded by
that lover of horrors, Fox. Moreover, 1t
will be observed that when the Catholic
Church sends missionaries into savage
wilderness like tie interior of China, taey
are priests, thoroughly trained for the
work, and not lone young women AS
general thing it's missionary methods are
distinguished by considerable common
sense
It was Conan Doyle who said. apropos of
the sacrifice of the lives of Jesuits on the
Iroquois mission, that if the Catholic
Church is TO fall it must be through cor
ruption in her high places and not in her
rank and file, for nowhere have men and
women spent themselves more Loyalty and
more splendidiy than in her service He
told the truth. 1t is time all this was un-
derstood by the opponents of that Church.
It is bad for any sect to believe that i has
all the good things in the world and thai
there is no good in its opponents or their
methods. As a general thing, any religion
which has a strong hold on a large section
of mankind has some good points which
are worth studying and it wcnld be wise
thing for some of the Protestant churches,
which seem to base their claim to right
eousness rather on anti-Catholic SEVERITY
than on practical work. to study the ways
of their opponents and strengthen them
selves thereby
There is no reason why orphans who are
not Catholic orphans should not be cared
for with the same promptness and thor
oughness which are shown by the priests
and sisters who are doing this work in
Galveston 1t is quite possible to form a
non-Catholic charitable organization which
shall, on occasion, do the work of charity
well and quickly. but it must be admitted
that the charitable work of the country is
at present so divided among various sec
tartan and anti-sectarian agencies that the
objects of charity are apt to suffer from
too much as we'll too little attention.

INCREASING EXPORT TRADE.
Wee Consul General Hanauer AdsO-
Gates Department Stores.

Simon w. Hanauer, Vice Consul General
OF the United States at Frankfort, in a re
port to the State Department describes
what he regards as q new method by
which American exports may be in
creased. He writes:
IN my replies to enquiries from msau-
facturers IN our country as TO how 10 gain
foreign markets for their products. IS
also in NY reports to the department, I
have impressed upon our exporters the
necessity of personally studying the wants
OF foreign markets; of meeting the usual
terms of credit. time, and place of deliv-
cry standard of weight and measure; of
knowing the language OF customers; Of
combination in foreign trade, etc.
There iS another mode which promises
splendid returns for those employing it,
which viii also stimulate our export
trade. This consists in establishing
American department stores in the large
European cities
In Germany anC most other continental
countries, there are large retail ware
houses ani stores which sell different
lines of dry goods and clothing
for female wear. Department stores
on the order of our own con-
tanning almost everything for human
needs, are hardly known here. Conse-
quently one finds in European city hun
dreds of retail stores, carrying small
stocks and selling articles at high prices.
I think department stores would find con-
ditions more favorable here than at home,
in amount of sales and return on the cap
itaI invested; but the Importance of the
plan consists in the immense impetus they
would give to the sale of American spe-
ciaIties-household articles of all kinds,
clothing. kitchen, and ironware. small
machines. tools and instruments, toys,
carriages and vehicles office and dwelling
furniture. fruits and meal, etc. 1 am con-
fident that such a concern established in
Frankfort could with a few years sell
Anne -ican specialties alone to an amount
of 50 coo eco to 81, 4,0C0.0 annually, and dis
tribute further quantities by giving agen-
cigs 10 leading dealers of interior towns
and cities. In shoes alone, it could trans
act q large trade. Our manufacturers
need then but offer their products to the
home purchasing Office, in order to do a
fore .gn trade"

a decision upholding the permanence
Of surety bond assumed by an empIoye
of the Government has been made by
Charles s. Bundy. a local justice Of the
peace Unless this decision should be re-
versed on appeal it establishes that no
Government officer can change his surety
without the consent of the bonding party
The action arose out of a dispute be
tween Paymaster George w. Simpson and
the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Bal
timore Under the contract signed by
them Simpson was to pay 500 a year in
advance for the bond furnished by the
latter. This charge he regarded as ep-
pressive and, after paying his account,
$780, he transferred his bond to another
company and ceased all communication
with the Fidelity Company.
Justice Bundy holds that Simpson is

Apple Brandy Plentiful in Maryland
This Year.

BALTIMORE, Sept. Estate Land
Commissioner Z. Stanley Toadvine was
in Baltimore yesterday and called on
Internal Revenue Colleotor B. F. Par
lett. to whom he made application for
the establishment of United States
bonded warehouse at Delmar-
Mr.. Tcadvine stated that the menufac-
turing of apple brandy had grown to
such an extent in Wicomico county and
in Sussex county. Delaware, that the
manufacturers were anxious to secure
the establishment of the warehouse, as
it would mean not only a greater ac-
commodation to them. but 1arze saving
as well. Under present conditions the
manufacturer Of the brandy is compelled
to pay the Government tax as soon as
the brandy is inspected, although it may
be some time before he can dispose of
his product 1t is claimed that with the
establishment of a United States bond
ed warehouse at this point the manufae-
turer wouId be able to put his product
in storage and would not be compelled
to pay the Government tax until he had
found market for the brandy

The Strike Progressing.

In the anthracite region at large on
yesterday there were six thousand ac-
cessions to the ranks of the strikers. The
situation varies in the three districts
which comprise the field. In the Wilkes
barre district it is estimated that seven
ty-two thousand miners. out of a total
of seventy five thousand, are out In the
Hazleton district eleven THOUSAND out OF
q possible twenty-one thousand, and IL
The Shamokfn district thfrty-fOur thou

Officers Of the Coal Trust, on the con
trary. assert that by the end of another
week 4 large number of strikers will tire
of the movement and want to return 10
work In that case, it Is announced that
The trust Will attempt to resume opera
lions where they are now suspended. and
protect all repentant miners
II the trust magnates are sincere in their
psnzuosis, apparently they are not pur-
suing q course calculated to bring the
conditions they desire into being, One
would suppose that, with the memories Of

avoid the introduction of that violently
disturbing factor. the Pinkerton irregular
militia into the equation at least as long
aS possible. But ii appears from reports
t,tiay that a hundred heavily armed Pink

there is some reason to believe that other

II the trust is desirous of bringing thc
issue o bloody crisis, it could not find

spectful of the civil authority, and has no

All attack upon the freedom of the citizen.
The consequence is that the Pinkerton
forces are everywhere detested and hated,
collectively and individually. Knowing
this. there is ground for the suspicion thar
the object of the Coal Trust in bringing
the Pinkertons into play is to eXasperate
the strikers and tempt them to some deed

OH is rendered probable by reports that

there are unfortunately many indications
that the trust. in its surprise and alarm

Catholic Charities.

An item IN the news from the wrecked
city of Galveston is worth the considera-
tion of the general public for several good
reasons. The priests of the Catholic Church
who have been directing part of the res
cue work have been Informed that all
Catholic orphans viii be cared for by their
Church
This indicates, as many similar incidents
have done, the perfect organization and
practical efficiency of the Catholic Church
rs compared with any other in the world.
There is no other religious body which
maintains so complete an organization for
the material as well as the spiritual aid
of mankind. Although the Protestant cler-
gy and churches of Galveston have also
been doing their part in the work of res
euing and comforting those who suffered
from the flood, it is unquestionably true
that not one OF them, nor all of them put
together, could have offered the assurance
that ''all Protestant orphans Will be cared
for by their Church..
Whatever one may think of the theology
of the Oldest Christian orgariza tion-and
the traditions of this country are rather
antt-Catholic than otherwise-it is unde-
niable that in its practical methods OF
work it has reached a very high standard
of efficiency. Wherever there is suffering
sin. or calamity on a large scale the Cath
clio Church is there, ready to help. It was

ISOLATION to the tortured victims on the
