Reports of restitution continue to come
from Galveston, and money is still need
ed Disastrous as the Galveston storm
is proving to be, 1t will not measure up
to the frightful catastrophe of May 81,
1889, when YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, was swept by
flood due to the bursting of a dam In
less than three-quarters of an hour the
contents of the dam were on Johnstown,
causing food 1900 feet wide and from
thirty to forty feet deep, drowning and
killing between 5000 and 5000 people and
destroying $40,OO0,000 worth of property.

Sept. 20 is great festival in the Church
of Rome and is also observed as a feast
by the Church of England. 1t is in honor
OF st. Michael and all the angels His
birthday is obscure In scripture he is
mentioned five times, always In q Wariike
character, otherwise the scripture Is all
but silent respecting the hierarchy of
heaven. Milton and many other writer's
have described the different orders. and
the manuscripts of the middle ages sup
ply great variety of sketches and fin
ished drawings of angels, some of which
might pass for actual portraits. Louis
XI. of France declared St Michael a
KNIGHT. Michael has been deemed the
chief of the archangels, and he is invok-
ed IN the Roman church as "a most glor-
ious and wariike HElnee,'' captain Of
Gods hosts" and 1.-The vanquisher of evil
spirits 1t was early believed that every
human being was watched over by some
kind spirit. and guardian angels also
looked after countries and cities. even
trades and corporations had their saints.
So England has st. George, Ireland ST.
Patrick, Venice st. Mark while ST. Ce-
ella presides over musicians, ST. Agatha
over nurses, and so on through a long
list. Milton makes ST. Michael the hero
of the overthrow of Lucifer in the SUI
blime poetry of Paradise Lost"

Gov. Roosevelt was assailed He was at
the depot watching for a train when sew
eral roughs crowded up against him, and
one of them stepped on his foot. and
when he demonstrated in a gentleananly
manner, one of the ruff1ans kicked his
valise right under the wheels of the

He submitted to the outrage in face of
the mob of half drunken loafers who
Jeered and hooted at his loss There
was no politics in 1t, just the mob spirit.
The same spirit that prompted Protest
ant know nothings to burn Catholic
orphan asyluns and churches In Ameri-
can cities. It was not the spirit OF
Christianity. The mobs In Akron, Day
ton and Mansfield, Ohio, within the last
few months were not McKinleyism.

A cellulose factory is being built at
Lenden Ind, at a cost of over 5000 CO.,
It's work will be to convert corn stalks

Mantle and other high explosives, fine art
paper, yarnish, kodak films. car box
packing, filler, waterproof CLOTH liuo-

of corn stalks in this new industry en-
hances the value of the corn crop very
greatly. The Indiana concern is paying

which means from 81 to $12 an acre to
farmers growing corn, but the number of
cellusose factories is necessarily limited
