prayers and devotion carried out with
sincere and loving hearts. And what
more beautiful devotion can there be
than that which has for its object the
Sacred Heart of the Blessed Savior,
who came into the world and took upon
himself our sins and crimes and be-
came their sponsor, who suffered ana
died for us all? The church has her
especial prediction for this beautiful
devotion in many ways, and has ap-
proved and blessed associations formed
for the purpose of propagating 1t, so
that today there is scarcely church
anywhere but in which it is carried out
in the fullness of the Churchs spirit
We urge upon our readers that they
shall not allow the month to pass with
out in some way paying some special
devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

PARIS AND THE EXPOSITION.
Dditorial Correspondence.l

Editorial Correspondence
A very short soiourn in Paris con-
yinces one that Parisians are of a mind
that all the world is coming to visit
the great fair. Prices range according
w. There is no fixed price. Get all
Won can" seems to be the motto Of the
average Parisian-do everybody, but do
Americans the most, is not a theory,
but a rule of conduct carried out to
perfection.
In the matter of overcharging, rob
berry and plundering visitors, American
cities are unenlightened, unsophisti-
Gated and green. 1t is a conservative
estimate that there are not yet over
10000 strangers in Paris to see the fair,
and vet prices are in many cases null
tiplied by more than twenty, in none
less than four. Denver people will APP
preciate this when they recall that fire.
ouently there have been $4,000 strangers
within the city, all Of y 6 ON We're taken
care OF at regular rates.
I repeat that such great convention
cities as Denver, Chicago and New
York have much to learn in the way
of robbing guests.
From all that 1 learn of the inten-
tions of Kansas City people regarding
the coming national Democratic con-
vention, many Of the bonifaces of that
CITY must have served an apprentice
shin in Paris, for even Tammany Hall,
whose members sQuander money reck-
lessly-on the principle, I suppose, Of
come easy, go easy''-is kicking on the
high prices which are to prevail at that
city by the Kan. But at the Missouri
city there is some chance to cope
here there is none until Sandy Hook is
reached on the return trip. SO my ad-
vice TO American lambs is to submit to
the slaughter as meekly as possible.
But after all the question which
American readers. who are not com
ing to Paris, will ask themselves is
whether the Paris exposition of 1900 eX-
cells the great White City of 1898. In
some respects it does-but in many
more it does not, and there are by Ear
tbs greater number.
In the local situation the Worlds
Fair at Chicago most assuredly sur
passed anything that had gone before
and it is a good guess that nothing will
equal it during the century to come
Hence / need not say that Topographic
cally considered, the Paris exposition is
a long ways inferior to the White City
which viii long live in American his
tory.
In matters of detail and smoothness
of execution, the officers of the World s
Fair surpassed the management here
who hardly yet know where they are
at. TO use one Of our colloquol express
sions. except to make the most Of
every opportunity to gather in gold.
To be sure some of the departments
of the exposition greatly excel the same
departments at the Worlds Fair This
is very probable in the department of
art, which was to be expected Aside
from this, it is. an open question if the
Chicago fair does not fairly compare
with anything in Paris. Such. at least.
is the impression CLEANED after a hasty
view of the exposition, which may or
may not be modified after a more care
full examination-the result of which 1
shall give to the readers of the Inter
mountain Catholic in future letters.

Walter Scott Dickson of Salem, Mass.
who died last week, a few years ago
gave $4,000, payable at his death, for
the establishment of a chair in TUFTS
college. to be known as the Walter
Scott Dickson professorship of English
and American literature. 1t is believed
that this will contain many other pub
lie efactions.-EXchange
Scarcely a week passes, in fact, hard
ly single day, but some such an
nouncement as the above may be read
in some part or other of the country.
1t is a sad commentary on our wealthy
Catholics that at their death they
make no similar provision for Catholic
institutions. We hope that time will
change the disposition of rich Catholics
in this respect, but we confess that we
see few signs of it in the present gen

THE IRISH AND AMERICAN BRI-
GADES IN THE BoER ARMY.

The Boer delegates, during an inter
view granted to reporter OF the
Newark On. j. Ledger, in New York
recently, denounced the statement that
the Irish Brigade showed cOwardice at
Krugersdorp, as a fabrication OF the
Tory newspapers. According to cable
grams received by the Boer delegates
both the Irish and American brigades
have been fighting magniticently AT
Krugersdorp the Irish Brigade, IN line
with the Corps of American sharp
shooters, both commands numbering
fifteen hundred men, held twelve thou
sand British troops in check for nine
teen hours, thus covering the retreat
of the artillery and quartermaster's
stores and the sick and wounded
troops to the rear, and thus enabling
the Beers to reach their fortresses in
the mountains.
After the main body of the Beers
had retreated the Irish and Americans
in a spirit of reckless courage, charged
like a cyclone through the Highland
Scotch regiments and sent them whirl-
ing into ignominious defeat. Then Cen
eral Patrick Blake sounded the retreat
and the Americans and Irish moved
toward their destination, to hold one
of the principal passes in the impreg-
nable forts which the German engin-
GERS have built within this month. The
Irish Brigade has fought in sixteen
battles, and it is estimated that they
have killed five thousand Britishers
and have lost in killed and wounded
116 comrades. There are two priests
and six Sisters attached to the Irish
Brio

THE TRUCE IN FRANCE.

BY a sort of common consent warning
factions in France seem ii have de-
clared truce, as it were, until the ex-
position is over. 1t is well that it is
SO, for if the spirit which France has
manifested during the past year or two
had continued up to the present, the
exposition would have been but a sorry
failure. But the fire is only shoulder
ing and all signs point to a confagra-
ton as soon as the world has emptied
it's pockets into the French treasury.
There is really much method in the
French madness-at times.

A DEAD BEeeAR,s BEADS.

Lay the dear rosary upon her breast
Time-stricken ehaplet, Justices and
frayed,
As though each link with gems was
Overlaid
Tenderly handle poverty's bequest,
Worthy of reverence as kniShtly crest
Rich with the stains of tourney and
crusade.
Or as some grimy, battle-hallowed
blade
Emblem of faith and valor, let it rest,
Poor was she. like her Savior and her
King.
Ignorant as the men of Galilee,
Rude as the sainted conduerers Of
Rome;
Yet not a bead upon that simple string
But pleads with silent eloquence how
she
SteadfastIy sought her mothers starlit
home.

He longed to make his name a name
That men would not forget;
He yearned to have it known to all
The busy world-and yet
He could not bring himself to strive
Day after day as they
Must strive who give their names the
CLEAN
That never fades away.
And still his name shall live and shine
For future men to praise,
Through he but drifts along the years
And dawdles through the days.
He married one who gives herself
To lifting peoples cares,
Who daily adds new glories to
The name he lightly bears.

The twilight hour draws on aDaCe,
That hour of sweetest calm,
And evening with its tender hush,
Falls like a healing balm
Ger all the world; so wearied with
The tumult of the day;
And gladly earths frail children now
The homeward call obey.
The day is going home to God,
Before the shadows OF night

Toward the realm of light.
Where. soon, before the great White
Throne,

OF words and deeds-Aye. yours and mine,
For therefore did it live.

Some ministry of grace,

A record 1T may bear
OF burdens eased, and hearts made glad,

LAST OF THE CO-CAprrALS.
Rhode Island May Try to DO with Oas
Legislative City Only
Hereafter.


The electors of Rhode Island, the last
the states of the country with two leg
islative capitals, are at the general No
vember election to vote upon consti-
| tutional omendment abolishing New
port as capital, and making thereaft.
er Providence the exclusive legislative
capital of the state. Originally, most
curious provision for so small a state,
Rhode Island had five capitals-New-
port, South Kingstown, East Green
wich, Bristol and Providence. In 1854,
however, the number was limited to
two by constitutional provision, New
port and Providence, and the date of
the meeting of the legislature was
fixed on the first Tuesday of May. I'm
til few years ago Connecticut also had
two capitals, Hartford and New Haven,
and the legislature met in these two
cities alternately until the ''joint cap
ital'' plan was abandoned and Hartford
is now the only capital of Connecticut.
With one capital it is practicable to
construct an appropriate state build
ing, whereas with two capitals an OBJ
Nacle to it is found, and moreover the
uncertainty as to the permanence of
capital is barrier to the establish
ment in city of the interests which
capital ordinarily attracts. By the
last census the population of Provi-
eence was 10000, while that of New
port was but $4,000. Providence has
long been the commercial and political
capital of the state. 1t is the chief

requisite three-ffths. Section 10, of the
Rhode Island constitution, provides
that the general assembly, as the leCis-
fature OF that state is called, may pro-

cuilar type, like unto nothing else on
the globe. In the course of my wan
derings up and down have met good
many OF such unfortunates and they
resembled one another to degree that
was really startling. 1 suppose the
common character of their disgrace
and the continual brooding along sim.
liar lines was responsible for the fam

aloof from everyone and lived the life
