the animal to the slaughter house of Mr..
David Miller. near the city. Seeing
Prof. Garner the bull became suddenly
infuriated, and made for him, knocking
him down in the road, and attempted to

in field near by. Prof. Garner arose
when the animal was released and walk
ed off, considerably bruised from the en-
counter. Had the animal had horns, the
ferocious attack might have been serious.

the mission. which was specially intended
for Catholics. came TO a close. The
altars OF the church we're beautifully and
deliberately decorated with flowers and
hundreds of lighted candles. added splen-

attendance was even larger than usual.
Father Sigl preached a sermon on the
necessity OF keeping one S good resolu-

the spirit of tervor they had shown during
the mission and explained what means
they must now make use OF to preserve
that fervor. He dwelt especially on the

and heartfelt tones in which the prom
ises were made, gave evidence of their
sincerity The missionary then gave the
papal blessing and the ceremony came
to a close with the benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament.

A MISSION FOR NON-CATHOLICS
A Series Of Lectures On The Doctrines Oh
The Roman Catholic Church To
Be Given At St. Mary's
Church This
Week.

FatheI Muihall announced last even
ing in ST. Mary's Church that a mission
Tor non-Catholics would open in that
church this (ruesday) evening at 2. 50
o clock, ana will be continued every
evening during the week, next Sunday
night Inclusive. He explained at some
length the nature and object OF that mis-
sion Ii consists, he said. OF series OF
lectures on the principal teachings of the
Catholic Church. Though it is usually
called a mission for non Catholics, II Is
really intended for both Catholics and
non Catholics. For Catholics il is oi
great importance because they will learn
10 undei stand their religion more thor
oughly and will. in Consequence. love II
more dearly For non-Catho!ics it is an
opportunity Of learning what the church
really teaches. Il is not our intention,
said the Father, 10 attack anyone who
q ffers from us in religion. but We wish TO
Law before our non-Catholic friends the
teachings Of the Catholic Church and the
reasons therefor. Many people are ignor-
ant of what the church teaches, others
have entirely incorrect notions OF her
doct,ine. Il often happens that most ex-
cellent people have dread otthe church,
in fact a positive hatred for her, because
they imagine that she believes doctrines
whIch she never dreamed OF holding and
which she constantly and most severely
denounced. All we desire is to give
these people a correct knowledge OF what
the church teaches. The lectures will
be delivered in the spirit OF Christian
kindness and charity. AS it will not be
possible to explain in the course OF one
Short week all the doctrines Of the church
in separate lectures. and as some may
desire information on some particular
point, a so-called Question Box will
be placed near The door OF the church.
All are invited to write any question they
may desire to ask concerning the doc
trine of the church on slip OF paper
and drop it into that box. Il will then
be answered by the missionary on the
following evening. The order OF services
will be as follows AT 7.3o every even
ing one of the Fathers will answer the
questions prepared, and after the con-
gregation has sung hymn the lecture
Of the evening will be delivered and will
be followed BY prayer and the benedlc-
ton. All are invited to attend.

Mrs. Comstock's Campaign.
BY D. A. CHAUNCEY.

Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub. COB
When Chester Comstock announced
himself as a candidate for congress
everybody said his wife was back of it.
Comstock had never been suspected Of
political ambitions-or any other sort
except to live up to his ideals of a cu1-
tured gentleman. He was born of a
wealthy family. educated in the uni
versities of two continents, and pos
sessed tastes which permitted him to
enjoy to the utmost the good things
of the world. He had positive aver
sion for business in any form and no
desire whatever to increase the estate
which he had inherited He lived
life of luxury, was widely known and
universally liked.
II he lacked in ambition his wife did
not. After their marriage and the
joining of their fortunes she had as
sumner a position of social leadership.
As the years slipped by she became
restless. Then came a winter at
Washington and she had returned
home filled with a longing to return
there as the wife of a congressman
or other official that would give her
established standing. All the arts of
a dominant nature had been brought
into play to instill into her husbands
mind the fire of political ambition.
Finally out of sheer good nature he
told her he would acquiesce to her de-
sires if it could be managed so that he
would not be annoyed with the details
of politics.
If it will add materially to your
happiness for me to be a congressman
or Senator or President or what not,
said he, L am willing and 1 will try to
attend to the duties that may fall to
me in such manner as not to reflect
discredit on my name. But positively
/ know nothing about politics. If you
wish me to go into this sort of thing
the figuring must come from youI
head"
She secured an alliance at once with
Maurice Fox, the man reputed to be
the sharpest politician in the county.
Mrs. Comstock was perfectly frank
with Fox. told him ner ambition and
that money was no object and that she
wanted to secure his assistance. She
was somewhat surprised to learn that
Fox would not accept cash.
All the money l would touch in a
campaign would be the actual ex-
penses- I am very much inclined to
help you, however. for reasons of my
own. I can see how your husband
might be q very strong candidate. To-
gether with other men L have been
somewhat successful in politics in

possesses the two sources of light to
a marvellous degree. Radium costs no
less than 81 900 an ounce. It's great
expense is due to its present scarcity.
As soon as chemists learn how to ex-
tract it readily it will grow much
cheaper. Moreover, only a small per-
centage Of it contains the mysterious
luminous element When the raw ma
terial can be more cheaply obtained
and more completely concentrated it
will certainly become q much sought
commercial article. Biologists will
meanwhile locate the earth's deposits
of uranium. the crude material from
which radium is extracted. 1t can
probably be found in sufficient quanti-
ties to supply any reasonable demand
half ton of the residues OF Uranium
minerals now produces only d little
more than two pounds of the radiant
powder. But this loss is due to the
fact that no one yet knows how to ex-
tract radium economically. Raiium
will revolutionize all lighting methods
when cheaply produced. If mere
dram of the crude powder will show
such power as Mr.. Smillie observed,
hundred pounds of the refined materf-
ais will doubtless work marvals. Mr..
Smillie estimated that a half pound
of the powder will light an ordinary
room. This it will do if thin1y spread
out. Like a magnet, radium retains
its energy Indefinitely. 1t will give
off light for years without showing
any loss. Mr. Smillie says he has
reason to hope that the discovery of
radium may result in the PERFECTION
Of luminous paint of lasting quail
ity. The householder of the future will
coat the ceiling or walls of his rooms
with luminous paint made from radium
and will thus light his home without
resort to lamps, gas jets, or electric
lights. To darken such a room it will
be necessary to merely draw a light
proof screen across the illuminated
surface. But at its present price the
half pound mentioned as sufficient to
light an ordinary room would cost
$4,000. Yet. if such a supply would
last a million years, a single lamp,
even at this price, would shine upon
thousands of generations, and would
more than pay for itself in saving
gasA oil, and electric light bills. When
radium can be found in abundance it
will undoubtedly afford man his
cheapest light-a light which will new

HeIped a Poor Artist.

The million left by Sam Lewis, the
notorious London usurer, and the
benefactions that have come to light
since his death continue to be a nine
days wonder among his acquaint-
ances in London. Beginning his ca
reer as money lender comparatively
late and very humbly, he made money
with marvellous rapidity. One reason
for this was thatshe never lost any, or
hardly ever, even at the gaming
tables, where he was delighted to take
his turn. To the poor people who
constantly applied to him for loans
he always replied that a poor person
could not afford to borrow. An artist
not long ago paid a visit to the fnan-
cier and told his story over the cigar
and glass of wine which Sam Lewis
had always at hand. The artists re-
quest was a modest one-he wanted
only ESQ. Il could not afford to lend
it to you,'' said the prince of usurers.
"but I don't mind asking your ac-
ceptance of it''-and he handed the
astonished applicant ESQ note.
This story, which the narrator
vouches for, seems to belle the asser-
ton lately made that in Sam Lewis
case only 1.-THE dead hand" has parted
with possessions on which the living
hand opened never.
