INDEPENDENT MINES
TO BE CLOSED

Denver. Colo. Jan. 2S.-Under date
of January 9th the News prints the
following dispatch from Erie:
The strike in Erie will be on again
in full force tomorrow. AT n mass
meeting to-day it was voted to call all
miners out who have been working.
This order will affect over 200 men.
who will lay down their tools to-mor-
row. The Lister and the Tynon mines
are the principal mines affected, as
they have been shipping coal, but the
Eureka. the Davis. the Whitehouse and
The Ely mines at Rim are also includ-
I'd. These mines have all been paying
the scale. and the Rim mines have
been supplying. by wagon trade. Gree
ley, Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud.
Longmont, Lyons and the territory
surrounding these places. Their COM
bined output is placed at about Hoe or
o tons per day. The Longs Peak
mine has been taking out coal for Gus
tom trade and Is also included i'll the
mines now affected.
Tomorrow will see every mine in the
northern district absolutely idle il the
plans adopted at to-day's meeting do
not miscarry.
There was strong opposition to the
closing of the mines that We're paying
the scale, and n the decision been left
to Erie alone no such action would
have been taken, but the mass meeting
was controlled by the miners from Lou
%isville, Lafayette, Superior and Mar
shall, in which camps there are but
few independent mines.
The meeting voted to adjourn with
out taking action and to wait for Pres
ident Mitchell's representative to ar
rive to conduct the strike. but when it
was found that a majority had voted
to adjourn, the mover of h motion
was requested to withdraw 1t to permit
of further discussion. This was done,
and finally, after two hours Of oratory,
the motion to call out all miners in the
northern district prevailed and the
meeting adjourned.

POPE ISSUES ENCYCLICAL
IN RELATION TO SOCIALISM

Rome. Jan. 2S.-Thc Pope's encyclical
is dated January 18th. and says n dis
tinction must be carefully drawn be
tween socialism and the movement
among Catholics reviewed in his prevl-
Gus encyclicals on the sOcialistic sub
ject, and which was called Christian
Democracy.
The Pope commences with recalling
his two previous encyclicals on social
questions. and say that the sequel of
these encyclicals was that the Catholics
devoted all their activity to social works
to help the working classes. The on
tiff here reviews all that has been done
in this directi0n-the foundation of Ia
Dor bureaus, funds established for the
benefit of the rural classes and work
ingmen's associations of all kinds. He
considers the a~ppellation christian So
cialism' incorrect. and says Catholics
who occupy themselves with social
questions are sometimes also called
christian Democrats" But even this
title is attacked by some people us be-
ing ill-sounding. Divergences have
arisen therefrom and the Pope ardently
desires to eliminate them.
The careful distinction must be
drawn between socialism and Christian
democracy. The first concerns itself
solely with material possessions. al
ways seeking to establish perfect
equality and n common holding Of
goods. Christian democracy. OF the
contrary. respects the principles of di-
vine law. and while seeking material
~ameliorations. has i'll view the spiritual
welfare of the people. Christian dem
ocracy. moreover. must not be con-

England Educating Gardeners

Since the old system of garden APP
premiership has been abrogated some
horticultural schools and other institu-
tons have examinations and give GER
~tificates to those who successfully pass
them. The London Horticultural Society
is doing good work in this line. In
April each year they have examina-
tons open to all. The questions are
such that any first-class gardener
should be able to answer promptly and
on the spot. At the last examination
there were 236 candidates. Three hun-
dred was taken as high water mark.
and only those who received 200 points
and upward received first-class certif-
Gates.

London. Jan. 2S.-At st. Paul's cathe-
dral yesterday there was an unusual
scent Before nine O'Clock in the
morning an enormous crowd, wholly
attired in black, streamed from all di-
rections to the vast edifice, and by ten
O'Clock it was packed. Thousands un-
able to obtain admission, stood vainly
waiting on the steps and in the streets
around the ediice listening to the low
organ strains and mutfied peal.
The service began at half past ten.
The Most Rev. Frederick Temple, pri-
mate and archbishop of Canterbury.
preached a most touching sermon
There was Il similar scene at West
minister Abbey, where all the services
throughout the day were attended by
enormous congregations. The large
assemblage in the chapel royal at st.
James palace included Princess Fred
erick of Hanover, Princess Frances of
Teck, a host of titled people. many
members of the Cabinet and other dis
tinguished persons.
All 1t Roman Catholic and foreign
churches in England held special

A Society to Provide an Asylum for Worn

A Society to Provide an Asylum Tor worn
Out Horses.
A new society has been formed in
New York for a new purpose. 1t is
called the Equine Provident Society.
II. @. Karpenstein, a real estate dealer,
is the moving spirit. He has expend-
ed $4,000 in the purchase of a farm
of forty-five acres, with good grass,
water and shade, on Long Island.
where people can send horses
to spend the rest of their days in quiet
and comfort.
1t has become quite n problem TO dis
pose of faithful fo~ur-footed servants
after they are infirm from age or 9th
erwise useless. Their owners do not
like to shoot them or to sell them, N
it is expensive to maintain them in a
city stable. Hundreds of rich people
have such horses on their hands that
they do not know what to do with,
most of them being old pets of the
family. l know n man who is sup
porting three that have not been in
harness for years. They are too old
to work and too well cared for to die.
For such as these the Equine Prov
ident Society will provide pleasant pas
lures and comfortable stables for 50 n
month during the summer and IS dur
ing the winter If the horses become
well and are able to work the owner
is required to pay the full charge Of
$50 a month for all the time that they
have been at the home. Horses suffer
ing from contagious diseases will not
be received under any circumstances.
The first inmate of Ii home was an
agen animal named Billy" who had
done faithful service in the New York
fire department for fourteen years.

founded with political Democracy, for
the first can and ought To Subsist, as
does the church herself, under the most
varied political regimes. Christian dem
ocracy also ought to respect the laws
of legitimate civil authority. The APP
p~ellatlon "Christian democracy there
fore, contains nothing which might of
fend any one These divergences nav
ing now been dispelled, Catholics
should continue to devote their cares
to social questions and betterment of
the working classes. The Pope encour-
ages the zeal and action of those Cath
olics who consecrate themselves to this
eminently useful work.
The encyclical %eulogizes giving of
aims. which The socialists wrongly re-
gard as insulting to the poor. Aims. on
the contrary. serve to tighten h ties
of social cllarity. II matters little
whether this action of Catholics in IA
vor of the working classes Is called the
social action of Catholics oil Christian
democracy. The essential point Is that
Catholics must act together to preserve
the community of effort and sentiment.
Idle. useless questions ought therefore
never to be brought up in the press or
public assemblies. Catholics must act
so as not to engage in disputes.
The pontiff concludes with eXhorting
Catholics to inspire themselves with
these principles and 10 inculcate them.
They must urge the people and work
men to shun everything invested with
n seditious or revolutionary character.
respect the rights of others, be respect
full to their masters, and observe So
briefly and religious practices. Thus
will social peace again become flourish
