The Catholic Mission.

A general mission and jubilee celebra-
tion has occurred all the week at St.
Mary's Catholic church. The jubilee is
that proclaimed by Pope Leo NH in
honor of the twentieth century of Chris
tianity and especial favors are granted,
the world over, to the faithful Christians
who observe the requirements. To assist
the pastor, Rev. FIR. j. ID. Shannon, there
are two distinguished fathers, of the
Jesuit order, from New York; Rev.
Fathers Stanton and Caughlan. There
have been masses at 8, and 8 80 o'clock
each morning, instructions for children
at 3 80 every afternoon instructions for
women at 80 each evening of the three
first days of the week, and for men the
remaining three are taken up and on
Sunday for all.
On Sunday next the closing services
of the mission will be held. At 10 &c
a. m. there will be a special sermon on
"Indifferentism." At three o'clock the
service will be for women; that at hall
past seven, In the evening, for men. The
mission has proved most successful. AL
the services have been crowded so much
so that divisions have been necessary or
account of the insufficient seating capac
ity of the church.

OLD HOME WEEK.
Encouraging Prospect-Interest Lacking
Failure Threatened.

I Encouraging Prospect-fnterest Lacking
Failure Threatened.
The executive committee of the Mid
dlebury Old Home Week association
held meeting at the Addison on Mon
day evening. The president and. one
member of the committee were on hand
at the appointed hour, eight o'clock, and
three others struggled in at various later
stages. Nothing was done at the meet
ing except to lament the lack of interest
which characterized the behavior of the
members of the committee.
1t is high time a candid word was
spoken In regard to the county celebra-
tiop which it is proposed shall be held In
thAs town on August sixteenth. There
is doubt but what such an observance
as n contemplated might be most sue
cessful and enjoyable affair. a day de-
vot d to addresses by Hon. Levi p.
Merton and other noted Addison county
men; to musical exercises and picnic :;
to games and an old-fashioned dance; to
renewing the acquaintance of earlier
times could not fail of being day we'll
worth passing and remembering. But
any such celebration as is thus briefly
outlined will neither devise nor execute
itself. If had at all, it will require much
thought and effort on the part of some
body.
And there are a few who appear to be
perfectly willing to do their full share
in the task of perfecting the necessary
plans and IN carrying out the requisite
arrangements. But there are none who
seem oyer anxious to fight for chance
to put in lot of hard work if no one
wants it done. Nothing is more unsatis-
factory and disheartening than endeavor-
ing to confer favors upon those who give
no indication of interest in what is Of
fered for their supposed welfare.
And this gives an intimation of how
the matt ter of Old Home Week stands in
Middlebury at present. No one seems
to care fig about its being observed.
Not an inquiry comes to the committee
in regard to il. Not a remark is made
which shows a desire TO further the
scheme. And it may be said that unless
there is sudden and positive increase
of zeal in the case, one more meeting
of the committee is likely to mark the
end of the entire subject. Therefore if
the community has any wish that the
celebration be held, or if the fifteen
members of the committee have any fur
ther interest in the matter, there best be
swift ally to the support of this failing
causC otherwise the various towns of
the 'tv are quite sure to hear that, at
least so far as concerns Mlddlebury, the
books are closed. Water cannot be
pumped from dry well. 1t is useless
to attempt to get enthusiasm on this sub
ject if none exists.

Churches With

money value which it represent s-was

amount to above $4,000 a year. The
sum named includes what 1t gives to
missions, and also the expenditure
connected with its great parish house
in Forty-second street. A dozen other
Episcopal churches in New York and
Philadelphia have incomes exceeding
100000 a year. The Presbyterian
church having the largest income in
America, is the Brick church, New
York, which took in $4,000 last year,
good deal more than half Of which
went to missions. The largest Baptist
church in America is the Fifth Ave-

which his gifts, or most Of them, go.

COUNTESS DE GREY.

The death Of Queen Victoria and tho
consequent accession OF the former
Princess of Wales TO the place of first
lady in the kingdom will have the
effect of restoring one Of the beautiful
women of England to the place at
court which she forfeited recently for
a singular reason. I. IS only few
months ago that the Countess d.. Grey
who had been one of the most popular
women at court functions, was in
formed that her presence st drawing
rooms, balls and other social affairs
was no longer tolerable, because she
had opened an afternoon tea resort.
Her purpose in INDUCING in trade was
to render herself financially indcpcn-
dent of her husband and his parents,
who had grown weary of paying her
debts. Commendable as this scheme
was, 1t conficted with the queens

bark in trade should be subject to os-

Edgar Saltus, the great journalist

and who is an authority on political

Bishop Thoburn's prophesy. He says:
The bishop is a great man from a re-

LONDON FoG's COST.
Such an Atmospheric Observation Cost,
n Pretty Penny.


A London fog is an expensive visi-
tation, says the London Chronicle. A
day of it, counting the day at eight
hours, is estimated to cost anything
from $4,000 to 100000 in hard cash.
No small proportion of this goes to the
gas and electric light companies, which
have to supply about a third more
power than usual. But there are also
the railways. Fog signaling is expen-
sive. At Chaplain Junction alone $50
has been spent by single railway
company during days fog in extra
pay to the platelayers. When the
red light cannot be seen at distance
of 100 yards the platelayers become
fog signalers, and for this they are
paid a shilling day in addition to
their regular wages, and fourpence per
hour overtime, provided the overtime
does not run into a second shilling.
Fog signals, like the cuckoo, are more
frequently heard than seen, and, like a
number of things, such as babies. cats.
and crickets, make an amount of noise
altogether out of proportion to their
size. The largest Of those in use is
scarcely bigger than crown piece and
is quarter of an inch in depth. The

gun powder and three percussion caps

ever they met. Lcttie and Ellery had
grown to be the best of friends, but
months went by making Helen no
friendlier than at first.
One day Helen set cut to transact
some business that took her across the
Platte River. She started to cross the
stream by an old ford not often used.
Her pony had traversed only a fes

was making no progress. He wac

Realizing the danger of her position
Helen attempted to turn her pony back
to the shore, but the creatures efforts
to do this merely served to sink him

With increasing apprehension Helen
felt her heroic little pony sinking
