early hour this morning four masked
burglars broke into the parsonage of
the Saint Didelis Catholic Church and
secured 5000 In cash, . gold watch and
a valuable trinket, the property OF Rev.
Father Dietrich. Father Dietrich, who
is recovering from recent operation,
heard the men forcing a door in the
rear of the house, but was too weak
to offer any resistance. The quartet
lost little time 10 seeking the sleeping
apartment and while one of the gang
hung about the priests bed, toying q
revolver, the others ransacked the
room. One OF the gang chatted with
the priest about his illness, and ex-
pressed hope that he would soon
recover. Father Wachter, sleeping 10
another room, was left uneisturbed.

ford to be consistent. In his speech at
Huntsville, Ala. recently, the Presi-

war for conquest, for exploitation, or
for territory, but always for liberty and
humanity. The United States has
never acquired foot OF territory that

"As the result of that war we are in

California more 80 years sgo-the
blessings OF security and liberty" The

noticed that ssloonkeepers were 70 Dc
debarred from membership In future

was that they were not cafe subjects

reason, probably, was to further o
movement which has been going on fof
q long time to cast eli the odium pos
sible upon this class Of citizens. That
there are many good and useful people

can purchase feet of passenger steam
ships and pisce smoking and liquor ga
looms in each (which he will do) with
out any one being tempted to impeach
his standing In the sight Of bic Maker;
but there is growing tendency In our
day and generation to ostracise the sa-
loonkeeper liz every manner and to
make his mode Of livelihood an ex-
cuse for blackbslling him when he de-
sires to become one Of social orgaDi-
cation. The fact that he sells goods
dangerous when misused should be no
more argument against him than the
druggist who dispenses deadly poisons.
In the case OF the latter the community
holds the man responsible who drinks
carbolic acid and commits suicide, but,
for reasons best known to themselves,
hold the ssloonkeeper to account when
men drink themselves drunk at bis
bar. Now there are many In this and
all other communities who are not
apologisls for drunksrds nor intemper-
ate people of any kind, but who at the
same time do not adopt the ideas ofsome
that the man who keeps public house
is necessarily degenerate and past re-
demption, although his surroundings
are such as are calculated to produce
thong htlessness concerning spiritual
matters. While the order referred to
refuses ssloonkeepers for the alleged
reason that they are risky subjects for
life insurance, they have no hesitation
In receiving under their wings people
who bsbituslly eat and drink to excess.
The latter class are certainly as risky
