ONE CENT PER MILE.
Railroads In Central Passenger Assoc
cission's Territory FIX Rates for G..
A. n. Encs m pment Business.

Chicago, April 12.-Rules and regu-
lations governing transportation of
passengers in the Central Passenger
associations territory during the e..
A. X. encampment at Cleveland, Sep
tember 10 to IA, have been adopted.
In several respects they are different
from :he regulations which have gov
erned encampments in the past. The
lines were unanimously in favor of a
straight one-cent fare from all asso-
citation territory. The rules adopt
ed are:
Bands shall be required to pay one
half the rate charged the posts with
which they travel, and shall be re-
quired to travel in both directions on
a solid ticket and in band uniform.
Committees to locate quarters shall
consist of not more than three per-
sons from each post and shall travel
to Cleveland and return on solid
tickets; shall be required to pay one
half the rate charged their respective
posts, and shall be allowed but one
trip for the purpose of locating quar-
ters.
No line shall evade these provisions
by cash contributions, or by any
other kind of concession not provided
for herein. nor by assurances to COM
mittees, posts or individuals.
No sleeping cars shall be stored for
occupancy during the encampment.

A Long Journey for Children.

Boston, April 11.-Among the pas
sengers who sailed on the steamship
Commonwealth from this city yester-
day were two who attracted great at
tention. Shortly before the ship
sailed the agent of the company
placed in charge of the stewardess
Earl and Clarisse Cook, aged and 0
years respectively, bound from the
Sandwich Islands for England. Their
mother having died, the father decid-
ed that the children should receive a
European education, and he made ar
rangements with his sister in Liver
pool to care for the little ones.

CROWS LIKE TERRAPIN EGGS.
That Is One Reason Why the Mary
land Crop of Diamond Backs
Runs short.

The crow is the evil genius of the
turtle just as of the diamond-back
and other terrapins. When tie warm
days of spring come and the female
terrapins and turtles leave their beds
in the marsh the crow goes on guard,
knowing that season of feasting is at
hand. Both terrapins and turtles seek
the warm, sandy uplands near the
shore to deposit their eggs.
A hole is dug several inches deep and
from 20 to 30 inches oblong, white
eggs are deposited and then the nest is
filled or covered with sand. Having
neatly piled the sand over the eggs,
the turtle raises herself just as high
as is possible then comes down with
heavy thud on the sand. This is

SECULAR SCHOOLS.
Mgr. COnaty Claims They are "A Mem
ace to Catholic Institutions.

Chicago, April 11.-"Entering upon
the new century, the Catholic edu-
cational system in America must be
prepared to meet with difficulties
that will test its strength to the ut
most. The unification of education
under state control has established
mighty machine of secularized in
struction, which threatens TO destroy
all private effort, either on the part
of individuals or the church. 1t is
important to meet unifcation by uni
tication, to so strengthen the Catholic
educational system that it may de-
fend itself against all attacks and
save the religious instruction of its
people from the dangers of non-relig-
ious education"
Intense enthusiasm greeted this
significant declaration yesterday at
the opening of Il conference of rep
resentatives of Catholic colleges
throughout the United States. The
speaker was the highest official in
the Catholic educational system in this
country, DR.. Thomas j. Conaty, rec
tor of the Catholic university at
Washington, and president of the Ma.
liOlidl [hSSOtldIloII VI NdlHOlIC WI
leges.
DR.. Conaty is an ideal orator, both
in presence and voice,
Entering into a general view of
the situation which presents ITSELF"
said Monsignor Conaty, sit is import
ant to realize the meaning of the
facts which face us. Among these
facts must be reckoned the state
school system with its rapidly in
creasing high school and even college
development; the tendency to do
away with colleges by uniting the
high school to the university; the
establishment of educational institu.
tions of all sorts endowed by private
munificence of non-Caatholics and at
tracing Catholic students because
these schools have not the character
of state institutions; the tendency OF
the universities to control the state
schools, to dictate the examination oil
teachers and to demand the univer-
sity degree or approval as condi-
tion of appointment"
To offset these conditions, said DR..
Conaty, the Catholic church spent
last year in the United States the
sum of S25,O0O,O00 on education
chiefly in parochial schools, and ex-
elusive of what was spent in academ-
ic, collegiate and university educa-
ton

The name of the post Office Half
Rock, in Missouri, is not to be account
ed for by any popularity of the phys
ical features of the place, as might
be supposed. 1t seems that one of the
first buildings erected there was a
general store, the proprietor of which
sold such bad sugar that his custom
ers declared it to be half rock" The
term was in course of time applied to
the store itself, and subsequently to
the post Office established at the place.

continued until the sand is quite hard
when the eggs are left for the sun to

In the meantime the crow has been
on guard, and by means of his sharp
bill and strong claws the work OF

An Act OF Vandalism.

indianapolis, April 12.-Serious
damage was done to the Thomas A.
Hendricks monument in the state
house grounds Wednesday night, pre-
sumably by metal thieves. One of
the granite ornaments weighing 100
pounds and surmounted by heavy
piece of bronze was broken from it's
base and thrown to the ground; a
bronze shield crossed with piece of
bronze representing a laurel leaf, was
forced from its place high up on the
monument and carried away, and the
scales which the figure of Justice
held in her hand were stolen.

seen napkins so used in the good hotels

Hotel Cecil in London around the din

anything that L saw in London, not be-

cause it is one of the things that Eng
lish writers a few years ago used to
describe as Americanisms. The men
behind the napkins at the Cecil were
Englishmen, however, if accent and
appearance count for anything.
