The Republic Of San Marino.

The Republic Of San Marino has
just celebrated the sixteenth century
of it's establishment on the precipitous
heights of Monte Titano, above Rimini
and Urbino in Italy. The republic has
right to be proud of its founder and
of its history. This political Mt. Ia
dor has preserved it's privilege and its
independence through the fusion of
patriotism with the church. Even Car
ducci. the poet of Satan. has sung it.
"On the Monte Titano religious feeling
is Joined to love of liberty, the worship
of holiness is one with the worship of
the Creator and founder of the repub-
lie. The fusion of Christianity and
politics brings about the unity of reli-
gion and country; religion becomes the
lever of the state just as the state is
the product of religion"
NLarino. the Romulus of this micro
scopic Rome, was, according to the
Bollandist Fathers, wise, pious and
industrious mechanic. Driven from
the island of Arba on the Dalmatian
coast at the time Of Diocletian's perse-
cutlon, he landed at Rimini to work in

A Bold Challenge.

The Chicago American is terror to
the tax dodgers. and trusts Of the west
ern metropolis. 1t recently attacked
the gas trust, among other corpora
tions, and now, has a damage suit on
its hands. But that does not deter it
from keeping up the crusade, as ap-
pears from the following challenge:
Possibly the Robber Gas Trust of
Chicago thinks that it has not sufi-
cient ground for its $5OO,0OO damage
suit against the Chicago American.
Possibly it is not entirely satisfied with
the case as it stands.
Possibly it would like to bring more
suits Of the same kind.
We purpose, therefore, in our feeble,
inefficient way, to give the Robber Gas
Trust, meaning the Peoples Gas Light
and Coke Company, all the occasion
for suits that it can desire.
We state now our deliberate convic-
tion that the Robber Gas Trust, mean
ing the Peoples Gas Light and Coke
Company, is an infamous plunderer
and bandit, preying on the community.
| Bring a suit on that.
We declare our conviction, based on
thorough inquiry, that 60 per cent Of
the money received from the people Of
Chicago by the Robber Gas Trust,
| meaning the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company, comes from watered
stock, extortionate practices, purchased
legislation, usurpation Of public rights,
imposition on the helpless people, and
| is therefore really more infamous than
the proceeds of the burglar or high
wayman.
Bring a suit on that.
We declare that the Robber Gas
Trust, meaning the Peoples Gas Light
and Coke Company, is lawless insti-
tuition, that 1t exercises many of it's
! privileges and pursues activities in de-
hance and open violation Of the law.
Bring a suit on that.
Come on with your suits and come-a-
running. We want them all. We have
been trying for long time to get you
people into court. If we can do It by
being sued. please sue US every minute.

The Cardinals Hat.

A special from St. Louis to the Min
neapolis Tribune of Sept. 80 reported
that the venerable Archbishop Elder
of Cincinnati was an aspirant for a
cardinals hat, and that he would be
more likely to get it than Archbishop
Ireland. The Associated Press supplied
the leading papers of the country with
the Tribune special. When it was
shown to Archbishop Elder by a re-
porter he laughed heartily and said:
"Of course that, is all foolishness,
and you know as, well as do there
is no truth in it. ~.
"The appointment Of another cardi-
nal in the United States is by no means
impossible, but no one that 1 know of
would he in q position to say that 1t is
probable. The matter rests solely with
the Pope. There are now two cardinals
in this country. Most Of the cardinals
remain in Rome or close at hand, and
are the Pope's advisers. Appointments
in other countries are very high hon.

besides. L am an old, broken-down ma
clgine."
"How old are you9" inquired the re-
porter.
81 am 50 and just two months older
than Queen Victoria was" said the
archbishop.
''The man who wrote that story i'm
agined it." he said. "How could he
know what the Pope's intentions are?
Those things, when they do occur, are
very secret. Just say for me that there
is absolutely no truth in it, so far as
the connection of my name with it is
concerned"

ried woman is new to English society
and "does not contribute to its agree

ners.'
TO sum up briefly this interesting
category Of the virtues and vices Of the
English smart set, we have these
statements:
Young girls may he seen, afternoon
and evening, at the bridge tables losing
far more than they can afford. They
spend their quarters allowance long

much, drinks too much and gets
nerves from the rapid railway jour-
ney.
"Women gamble and try to drive
four horses, metaphorically speaking.
while they balance on two others.
They seldom see husband and children.
Also it is said that the abstinence Of
our ladies from the flowing bowl is
even less conspicuous than that Of
men.
"Society worships wealth. Dukes,
marquises, earls and their female rela-
tives keep shops, advertise their wares,
display their names ON a prospectus
or theater bill with no concern save
for the financial success of the ven-
ture.
I'm literature society cuts poor fig
ure. We found writer's of witty and
learned letters, diaries or memoirs.
We leave the new journalism where
titles fetch their prices; postcards;
and a language compounded Of the
slang of many nations choicely culled.
"The parent is reduced to the condi-
tion of silent witness to the gambols
of his precarious offspring among the
eggs of life and of society, not all of
which are strictly newlaid and some
of which break, added, beneath the
foot of the little dancer.
Zone of the great disappointments of
modern society is the disproportionate
number of women, this being Protest
ant country, with no converts for
them. They know that they cumber
the ground when they go into society,
yet they must always look bright and
amused even though they are sick at

ciety is deterdorating. She paints a
gloomy picture, though she tries to
brighten 1t up bit by saying that 1t
is not so bad US the society which
drove Dante to write the "1nferno."
'sThe great curse Of our day." cries
the countess with deep feeling in
which some people would really like
to join, "is that we are all gorged with
amusements. Our dinners are too
long, too hot, too gorgeous, too large
and, therefore, too deadly dull. Our
grandfathers, at their interminaIble
feasts, drank to still the gnawing
worm of boredom; but now we bear
our disillusions and safety in sober
ness. If with depression and languor." f"
This seems somehow to hang we'll
together. Long. hot, gorgeous, large
and deadly dull dinners generally
make people take this view of life.
Maybe the trouble is with the count
ess' liver and not with society. She
says that nowadays Saturday is "de-
voted to hop, skip and jump visit into
the country till the following Monday" !"
also that 1--WE are nearly all of us try

of gambling, either on the Exchange
or in the drawing room, we can scarce
ly pause to enjoy what we have most
labored to acquire"
She says that in the 'tstress Of mod
ern life we hardly ever see our hus-
bands and children. This development
rests on the bachelor habits of our
girls. Are they happier? I shrewdly
suspect not. The charmed veil of mys-
terry which made their mothers longed-
for prizes has dropped from our lovely

She says that nothing pains her so
much as the sight of Il girl laborns

declares that she often has to put up

building stone. There he undertook to
convert the wild men of the mountain.
He preached the Gospel, advised the
division of property and the love Of
the poor. He joined to ardent faith the
gift Of healing. Felicissima, a rich
matron of Rimini, was cured by the
workingman and gave him the noun
tain Ttanus, which was her property.
At the top of the peak he set up an
immense cross, the symbol of peace,
love and justice; at the foot he built a
chapel in the name of st. Peter.
Around these monuments shepherds
and free peasants gathered, eager to
throw of the yoke of the 'publicans''
Of Rome. Having become a priest,
Marino built the fortress. To the new
republic he gave constitution at once
very Christian and very democratic,
based on liberty and equality. He was
present at the Council of Rimini and
died in the year 366. The people turn
ed Marino into saint. San .Marino
became soon the palladium Of the re-
public, the eponymous hero of its IN
dependence.
His tomb was transferred into a
sanctuary. The Church Of San Marino
came to mean the same thing as the
political government. San Marino,
trusting to a charter of its founder,
''Relinquo vos liberos alb utroque no
mine," II leave you free from every
man." has managed to maintain its in
dependence and its prosperity against
all conquerors and all envious neigh
bors. San Marino is a living exam
pie. Its existence demonstrates against
all the dogmatists Of the "Risorgimen-

Of a republic with the national unity.

The Purpose of a Church.


cation Of st. Joseph's church, Water
loo, Iowa, on Oct. 6, Rev. J. NJ. Cleary,
of Minneapolis, explained the purpose
of the elegant editice as follows:
This beautiful NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
symbol of the earnest faith of priest
and people-designed in harmonious
proportions and completed in exquisite
taste, is an eloquent expression Of the
practical purpose Of the Kingdom of
Christ in the world. Within these
walls, sanctified today for sacred pur-
poses, sacrament will be dispensed, sac
ritice will be offered, and the word of
God will be expounded, all for the en-
lightenment and the elevation Of man.
Here, the new born babe will be "born
again of water and the Holy Ghost"
Here, sins will be forgiven, in the
name and power OF Him who con-
vinced doubling men that, as the Son
OF Man. He had power ON earth to
forgive sins. Here, the bread Of life
will be broken to satisfy the spiritual
hunger Of the human soul, and those
who long for everlasting life will eat
the flesh Of the Son Of Man and drink
His blood. Here, the hidden Christ will
dwell, in the adorable sacrament of
His infinite love.
Here, "the clean oblaton," foretold
by the prophet Malachy, will be Of
feaed daily for the sins Of the people
and to invoke the favor of the Most
High. Within this sanctuary the plight
ed loves of Christian hearts will be
cemented by sacramental blessing into
lasting union in the holy state of
marriage, and they will be reminded
that "what God hath Joined together,
let no man put asunder."
From His humble throne upon that
altar, the Emanuel, ''our God with
us" will be borne at a summons from
the chamber of suffering and pain, at
any hour Of the day, on in the silent
watches Of the night, to comfort and
strengthen the human soul on its jour-
ney from time to eternity.
From this sacred sanctuary you will
bear your beloved dead to their last
resting place in Gods acre. Here will
be chanted the requlems for the eter-
nal repose of all who have fallen
asleep in the Lord. These blessed walls
will re-echo the praises of God, and the
prayers of the people, for the glory Of
the Creator and the well-being of man.
Here the word of God will be spoken
to all who are willing and anxious to
learn lessons OF divine truth. All, of
every class and condition, will be well
coined here; for it is the home of God
and the gate of Heaven. The un-
changing and interchangeable truths of
the Gospel will here be taught with
out respect of persons, without fear,
or hope of the favor of men. The truth
Will be spoken plainly to human souls.
Christ and Him crucilied will be
preached, not the speculative theories
nor the varying conjectures of doubt
ing men. Solemn warnings will be
uttered against the bold errors and the
dangerous evils of the day. From this
sanctuary will be denounced the des-
potlsm of anarchy, the tyranny of
Mammon, the sophistry of that SUPER
stition misnamed Christian science,
the Ignorance of unbelief, the folly of
ilreligion and the slavery OF unchecked
human passion. Here stands in your
midst citadel Of divine truth, an ar
seiial in THE spiritual kingdom of God.

L,ncoln,s r.vorlte Poem,

A fash Of the lightning, break of the
wave,
Man passeth from life to his rest in
the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be
laid;
And the young and the old, and the
low and the high
Shall moulder to dust and together
shall lie.
The infant a mother attended and
loved;
The mother that infants affection who
proved;
The husband that mother and infant
who blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwellings
of rest.
The maid, on whose cheek, on whose
brow, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure-her tri.
umphs are by;
And the mem'ries of those who loved
her and praised
Are alike from the minds Of the living
erased.
The hand of the king that the scepter
hath borne,
The brow Of the priest that the inter
hath worn,
The eye of the sage and the heart Of
the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths of
the grave.
The peasant whose lot is to sow and
to reap,
The herdsman who climbed with hts
goats up the steep,
The beggar who wandered in search
Of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that
we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion
of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unfor-
given,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty
and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in
the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flower
or the weed
That withers away to let others sue
ceed;
So the multitude comes, even those we
behold.
To repeat every tale that has often
been told.
For we are the same that our fathers
have been;
We see the same sights that our ia
theirs have seen;
We drink the same stream and view
the same sun,
And run the same course that our ia.
theirs have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our ia.
theirs would think;
From the death we are shrinking our
fathers would shrink;
To the life we are clinging they also
would cling;
But it speeds for us all, like bird on
the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot
unfold;
They scorned, hut the heart of the
naughty ts cold;
They grieved, but no wall from their
slumbers will come;
They joyed, but the tongue Of their
gladness is dumb.
They Hed-aye. they died; and we
things that are now
Who walk on the turf that lies over
their brow,
Who make in their dwellings a tran
silent abode
Meet the things that they met on
their pilgrimage road.
Yea! hope and dependency, pleasure
and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and
rain;
And the smiles and the tears, the song
and the dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon
surge.
'nis the wink of an eye, tits the
draught of breath;
From the blossom of health to the
paleness Of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier and
the shroud-
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
