A PROGRESSIVE OPINION.

The movement 10 relieve the people of this
country from the oTergrown advertising sign
1nfiiction makes progress. The Massachusetts
legislature has taken up the subject and has
been investigating the present state of the laws
in the commonwealth and the scope of its
authority further TO restrict the nuisance.
Local authorities in Massachusetts at present
may restrict advertisements only within the
limits OF parks and parhways but Attorney
General Parker unequivocally declares that
those powers may be by the legislature in
creased enabling the authorities Ito impose re-
sstrictions upon the and enjoyment of
sprivate property. and that no right 10 recover
sidamages is thereby created" The Attorney
General in his opinion says:
ANY use of private property which materially
interferes with the public comfort, except in
those cases where the reasonable requirements
of the owner afford him justification or excuse.
IS nuisance Noises and odors have always
been treated nuisances, even without legiSla-
tive adjudication that they are unwholesome.
There is no legal reason why an offence to the
eve should have different standing from an
offence to the other organs To strike the un-
willing eye is in principle the same as to catch
the unwilling ear Obnoxious signs have rarely
been held to be actionable nuisances because
only lately the attention of the courts has been
called to this aggressive mode Of disfiguring the
landscape. An advertisement upon private
land anywhere may be nuisance. In every
ii would be question of what is reason
able under the circumstances The right TO put
,Eiaring signs where people may not escape them
is measured by the degree Of annoyance TO
which the public may be reasonably required to
submit for the benefit Of private interests.
This view is in sharp contrast with the doc
frine the other day put forth from the Corpo-
ration Counsel's Office in this city to the effect
that the owner of a lot or building might do
what he pleased with it so far as aesthetic con-
siderations went, and that il would be an un-
warrantable interference with liberty to allow
local authorities power TO deal with obnoxious
signs except they transgressed police regula-
tions. The Massachusetts Attorney General
takes a much broader and more modern view
of a nuisance. The law of nuisance has deyel-
oped with higher civilization, and as Attorney
General Parker hints, because various activities
which were formerly comparatively harmless
have been carried TO excess. Once even an
rnsanitary condition could not be abated as a
nuisance until 1t became extreme and i'm
mediate menace to life OF an overpowering OBJ
sfacle TO comfort Now very moderate degree
of neglect of sanitary precautions is enough 10
warrant interference. Many noises are now
prohibited nusances which were formerly
endured a matter of course 1t is entirely
I'm the natural course of development that
offences TO the eye should be similarly re-
stricted. In this overcrowded nerve wearing
community there is increasing necessity 10
safeguard people from annoyance, and the tired

Fought With Beers.

Il. Bolofskey, who had restaurant
in Portland, Oregon, sixteen years ago,
arrived from South Africa a few days
ago and, after calling on his old-time
friends, took his departure for the
Transvaal again. Bolofskey is a sol
dier in the Boer army, having served in
\ that capacity from the opening Of hos
tilitics with England up to four
months ago, when he took a six
months furlough to recuperate from
wounds in both legs, says the st. Louis
Post Dispatch.
While fighting for the cause Of Kru-
ger he met in the field Boer woman,
brave as a lioness, who was also fight
ing the despoilers of her home and
country. Bolofsley became enamored
of this intrepid woman, and his af-
fection was reciprOcated. They were
married in the field within the sound
Of the roar Of the enemy's guns. The
husband continued to fight, but he in
duced his wife to give up the hard
ships Of the campaign. Since plenty
Of male recruits began to come in it
was not necessary for the women to
bear arms.

use Of firearms and nerved to stand

no unusual hardship for them to step
into the ranks of warfare. Their
bravery and self-sacrifce is likened
to that Of the women Of Alexandra,
who used their hair for bow strings
during the siege of the Roman legions.
Bolofskey says he is well satisfied
with his contract with the Beers. At

rcau Catholic Indian Missions
Washington D. G.
Rev. Dear Sir: ..
nm grateful for the information
you have given me concerning the ma
turc Of the work of the Society for the
Preservation of the Faith among In
dian Children do not see how such
a work can fail to enlist the Jealous
cooperation of the clergy and religious
institutions of the country, and the
charitable aid Of the faithful. 1t is
the proud boast of this nation that
the Indians are it's wards, and that it
feels itself responsible for their care
and protection. But, owing 70 the lack
of religious profession which is uni
versal among the people, the country
finds itself utterly unable to fulfill the
first Of all the duties Of a guardian
to his ward-the enlightenment of his
soul by divine faith. Upon Catholics,
then, who, better than all others, un-
derstand the value Of a soul and the
necessity Of faith for it's salvation, de-
wolves duty Of supplying by their
own zeal and charity that which the
nation cannot give to the Indians.
l hope and pray that the work of
the society may prosper more and
more, and that Gods richest blessings
may descend on all it's efforts.
Most faithfully yours in Xt.

Pro-Dclegate Apostolic.
A number Of promoters have taken
up the work Of securing members for
the Society for the Preservation Of the
Faith Among Indian Children. At
the present time the society has n
membership Of 1000. But it needs
100000, and thinks that it should not
be difficult to obtain that number in a
Catholic population Of over 100000
souls. We beg our readers to apply

siasm with which they received him,
he was particularly attached to the
South, and many times dwelt on their
more than generous hospitality.
In New Orleans he met his old
friends, the poets, Richard Dalton
Williams and Joseph Brennan, the
former being then a professor in
Spring Hill College, Alabama, and the
latter editor Of the True Delta, one of
the leading papers of New Orleans.
They had a most happy time together.
When Meagher concluded to make
his escape from Australia, arrange
ments were made, in case Of his sue
cess, that his wife should first pro-
ceed to Ireland to her father-in-law.
and subsequently join her husband in
America.
Accordingly, as soon as his safe ar
rival in America was made known,
Mrs. Meagher, under the protection of
a Catholic Bishop-her fellow passen-
ger-took passage for Europe.
She was received-as the wife of
Thomas Francis Meagher should have
been received-with plaudits and well
comes on every side, not only on the
part of her husbands relatives, but
by the whole warm-hearted people.
After enjoying the hospitalities of
the ancient city of her husbands
birth. Mrs. Meagher was accompanied
to America by her father-in-law,
where the three had a most happy re.
union.
The ensuing summer and autumn
they spent together in travelling
through the country. visiting Niagara,
the Catskill Mountains, Lake George,
and other places.
In the late fall Meagher, having an
engagement to lecture in California,
and his wife being in too delicate
health to spend a first winter here
she returned with her father-in-law
to Ireland-it being arranged that she
would join her husband permanently
the following spring.
Before Meagher started for Califor-
mia he had the pleasure of meeting
John Mitchell, who arrived in New
York on November 20, 1853, he, too,
having escaped from captivity in Aus
tralia. Before leaving Mitchell,
'Meagher agreed to join him in found
ing the Irish Citizen, the first num-
Der of which appeared on January z,
1854.
In California Meagher was received
with all, If not more than the enthu-
siasm he had met with in the East,
and the name he left behind him as
an Irish patriot and orator was just
as noble and impressive.
In New Orleans, on his way back
from California, in April, 1854, he de-
livered one Of his most successful lee
lures. At it's close, in bidding heart
felt farewell to his audience, he ex-
planned the cause which led him into
the lecture field in the following
touching sentences:
Through fatal quarrel with a
formidable government one could not
be expected to fight his way without
some losses, nor could he resign his
freedom, at the distance Of sixteen
thousand miles Of ocean, without stak.
ing and forfeiting a premium on the
enterprise.
