THE PORTE WILL
PAY THE DEBT
The Story Of the Cramp Deal
is Probably
True.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The officials
of the State Department decline to
make any statement for publication
relative to the announcement from
lConstantinople that the Turkish Gov
ernment had arranged to pay the
American mission claims under cover
of a contract with the Cramps for a
warship. Nevertheless there is reason
to believe the report is well founded
and the claims are in a fair way to be
paid.
| 1t is the expectation that the Cramps,
instead of undertaking to deal directly
with the claimants, will turn over to
the State Department the amount of
the claims, in the neighborhood of
G23 900 and that the department Will
dsburse the money to the claimants.
While in this way there will be no
direct dealing between the United
States and Turkish Governments, the
end in view, namely, the collection OF
the money, will be effected and there
is no disposition to be captious as to
the form taken in the payment. The
settlement of this matter Will perml,
the battleship Kentucky to proceed or
her way to Manila, or to return over
her route far enough to pick up the
American Consul at Tangiers and as
sist him morally in the collection o.
the indemnity demanded in the Esze
gui case. The State Department pre-
fers the use of an imposing craft lik
the Kentucky. rather than cruiser
but If the former cannot complete he
original mission in season, then re
l course can be had to the Dixie for us
in the Moorish case.

SOME GOOD RACES.
A Good Crowd and Everything Passed
off Satisfactorily
THE EXPERIMENT TO BE REPEATED.


The Carnival of Sports advertised
for last Saturday proved 10 be a success
far beyond the expectations Of the pro-
moters and all concerned. lt was
thought that few entries would be
made in each of the races and that fair
sized crowd would be in attendance,
but no one looked for the exceedingly fast
horses that were entered or the crowd
that was present. The day was all that
could be asked for and the races were
better than the majority of regular race
meetings Much credit is due TO DR.. Il.
+. Hunt for the successful manner in
which the program was carried out and
in fact the success of the entire carnival.
Ii is estimated that fully 2000 people
were upon the streets during the races
and we do not believe that the estimate
is any too high, if high enough. There
were no accidents and everyone was
we'll satisfied with the program.
The first race was the free-for all pace
with five entries, Mollie, owned by h.
T. Moblo of Riverdale taking first money
and Nellie B., owned by John Johnson
of Sumner capturing second.
In the free-for-all trot there were five
entries but Lady H., owned by l.. II
Hayt Of Alma, showed that the rest were
not in 1t and she easily took first in a
work out, Roy l., owned by Carl
Walters of Sumner taking second.
The one.half mile running race called
forth some good jumpers, Diadema
owned by Emery Meridith Of Ithaca
winning first and Duke of Little Grove,
owned by Dell Gibson of the same place,
taking second. There were nine entries
in this race.
The mems bicycle race were filled
with six entries, Harry jefferson OF
Alma proving that he was entitled TO
first money by distancing all his COM
petitors and doing it easily. L. Reed
of Riverdale came in second with the
bunch.
HarryiJetferson has not, attained sur
ficient age yet so that he was barred
from the boys bicycle race aud easily
carried off first in that also, Jas. Shank
of Emerson getting second money, Three
entries in tins race.
There " ere five entries in each the 100
and 200 yard foot races, Pearl Fuller, OF
Alma easily winning both first moneys
and J. Hacket of Arcadia was awarded
second in both races.
The success of the lrst meeting of
this kind Is certainly au iaducement for
others and We understand g ls proposed
TO repeat the experiment iu about two
weeks, but III all psoastll'iea 81 viii Oe

THE ANGELUs.

The angelus is the Catholic practice
of honoring God at morning, noon and
night by reciting three Hail Marys
together with sentences and a collect
to express the Christians rejoicing in
the mystery of the incarnation. The
first sentence begins ''Angelus Domini
nuntiavit Mariae, whence the name of
the devotion. A bell called the angelus
bell rings at the several hours.
The evening devotion was instituted
by Pope John XII in the fourteenth
century and was repeated through
France and England at the first toll of
the curfew bell. Louis TX instituted
the noon ange1us, which received papal
sanction at the beginning of the six
teenth century.
In the fifteenth century at the first
toll of the angelus there was not a
Frenchman, whether in the streets or in
his house, who did not Immediately fall
on his knees to pray. The royal ordi-
nance reads, 1T is ordained to all
Frenchmen knights, men at arms and
civilians, to place themselves on both
knees at the sound of the midday bell,
to bless themselves devoutly and offer
prayer to our lady, impIoring peace
and tranquility" This is a proof that
devotion to the Blessed Virgin was
fOndly cherished at that time

give? Consider for moment the great
burden of the administration of the
church's temporalities. This it is that
sends so many priests to early graves
and makes them old before their years.
Herein is the opportunity for lay as

the priests suggestion as to the best
means for raising funds and Tightening
the heavy burden of the pastor. In
countless ways the we'll disposed lay
man can engender and foster a. spirit
of support among the people Of the
parish, that will rebound to its well
fare.
If such spirit as this were well de-
veloped in the church, it is obvious that
the clergy would be more powerful for
good and the effect in the country
would be marked. For after all it is
not the mission of the priest to spend
his days in the erection of churches

He has a higher and a nobler mission
than this 1t is to inculcate the Spirit

sELF-JUDGMENT.
(The WatchmanO


One always feels like asking himself
at the close of the year, Just what
has this twelvemonth meant for me?"
1t is easy enough to reckon up gains
and losses, joys and sorrows, but it
is not quite so easy to reach a just
estimate as to ones development in the
best elements of character, and that.
after ALL is the main thing, and with
reference to it all material things what
ever are only like the marbles with
which we learned to count. The main
difficulty comes from gaining a correct
perspective of ourselves with reference
to some trustworthy standard. The
capacities of self -delusion are almost
infinite, and we are constantly tempted
to think of ourselves more highly
than we ought to think; but it is also
we'll to remember that probably no one
deals with man quite so unsparingly
as an honest mind deals with itself.
One of the hardest things in the world
is to forgive yourself, even after you
have reason to believe that God has
forgiven you. So on either side there
is this element of stworthiness in
our self judgment. Perhaps the wisest
course is not to spend too much time
over the moral balance sheet, but to
go on and take up our duties in a
cheerful and trustful spirit. If our feet
are in the right path, and our faces set
toward the right goal, probably we
shall not be disappointed in the out

THE FIGHTING RACE"

The number of Irishmen prominent
in the South African war is eXtraordi-
nary.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, the pres
ent War Minister, is a native of the
Green Isle and comes of an old Irish
family, Mr.. Wyndham, the Under Sec
rotary, who has created such a favor
able impression in that office, is a
grandson of the Irish rebel patriot,
Lord Edward fitzgerald, to whom he
bears quite remarkable resemblance.
Field Marshal Lord Wolseley was born
in Dublin. Field Marshal Lord Roberts
of Waterford and Candahar was born
in India of a Waterford father and a
Tipperary mother. Lord Kitchener was
born in Kerry. General Sir George
White is from Antrim, Sir Francis
Clery is from Cork, and General French
saw the light of day in ROscommon.
General Kelly-Kenny is also, as his
name indicates, an Irishman, Lord
Methuen, who was defeated al the
battle of Belmont, is the descendant of
John Methuen, who was Lord Chancel-
lor of Ireland in 17O1, and who was
afterward very prominent in the diplo-
matte affairs of the times.
With the Transvaal forces we have
Colonel Blake, an Irish-American grad
uate of West Point. who commands
the Irish-American brigade. The latest
estimate of the strength of that force
is said to be $500 men.

ST. PATRICK's DAY.

St. Patrick's day in Salt Lake this
year will be observed in an interest
ing and artistic way by the Irish-born
residents and their Americana
children. In the past the natal day OF
Ireland has been generally celebrated
in Zion in common with the rest of
the world, where the sons and daugh-
ters Of Erin are congregated. This
wear Rev. Father eastman of Chicago
will deliver a lecture on Ireland. 1t
will be illustrated with scenes of Irish
life and character. Already commit
tees have been formed for the carry
ing out of these plans. When we say
that the proceeds will be devoted to
the St. AIMS Orphanage, we feel that
apart from the patriotic feeling that
inspires all true Irishmen and Irish
women on the occasion of the Apostolic
anniversary, that the cause which this
observance particularly specifies will
appeal to the hearts of all American
citizens. 1t is a matter of history that
one good woman from the nobleness OF
her heart, with that splendid motherly
affection for the homeless, has made
provision for the care of these little
ones. This home will forever be a
monument to her charity. Now it de-
volveJ on others to assist in this great
work, so munificently begun. There
fore, it is hoped that all will cooper
ate in making this st. Patrick's Day in
Salt Lake memorable, not only from
an artistic standpoint, but also in a
substantial way.
Those little children must be pro-
vided for. We all know how reluctant
our Bishop is in appealing for aid
Yet this is something that must be
done. The plan adopted is to give
every lady of the congregation num-
Der of tickets to sell. We can dispose
of them if we will, and we know we
all feel kindly towards the orphans,
and on that account nobody will re-
turn any tickets. If one good lady took
it upon herself to build st. AIMS. we
following her example, should show a
disposition TO perpetuate it. Do that,
not in words, but by your actions. Any
friend you invite to come or induce ia
purchase a ticket will get the value OF
his money, for the lecture is the best
that was ever given in this city on a
specified subject.
