the Lackawanna road since October, 1885,
have not been exceeded by any road in

by some of the companies do not now much

to further encourage it's employees, many

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-Some interest
has been aroused In the Indiana Repub-
ican colony in Washington over letter
which has been sent a large number of
leading Indiana Republicans by former
State Chairman Louis t. Kitchener, who
maintains a law partnership in Washington
with William w. Dudley. The letters ap-
pear to be alike and were written on sta
tionery bearing the business card of Dud-
ley & M.chener. They are marked conf
dential,' but a large number Of them have
turned up. indicating a wide distribution
of them in the State. The following is the
letter which has found its way into the
Eastern press:
my Dear Mr.. -: It Is believed here
that Senator Hanna will try to get the
presidential nomination in 1904 and that he
expects the support of Indiana. Some of
the Presidents friends are little uneasy
about 1t. Do you think Hanna could take
Indiana away from Roosevelt or Fair
banks? Kindly let me have your views by
next mail if at all convenient. With kind
est regards, L. T. MICHENER."

said there was no political significance
about the dinner. Judge Ryan, he said had
not met all of the Indiana delegation in

ms Examples of Goodness.

BALTIMORE. Md, Dec. 7-Cardinal
Gibbons referred, in his sermon to-day IN
the Cathedral, to the aspersions cast on
the friars in the Philippine islands. He
said in part much has been said and
written in the past two years regarding the
friars in the Philippines. They have been
praised and abused in turn. Perhaps the
best way TO judge OF these much-malignec
men in the far East is to consider the char
acter of their consecrated brethren and
sisters here in Baltimore. This investiga-
tion will give us an opportunity of ascer-
tanning how far the religious men and
women of this city are initiating the ex-
ample of Christ as presented IN to-day

His Eminence dwelt at length on the good
work that is being performed by charitable
and religious organizations in this city:
He claimed that the parochial schools and
Catholic colleges save to the city fully
half million dollars annually.

born in 1859 in the state of Iowa. He
went to Colorado 20 years ago, and
has resided in the. Bitter Root valley

Mr.. Satterlee ran for commissioner
four years ago but was defeated by
about dozen votes. He took his de-
feat gracefully, and when the time
rolled round again was the unanimous
choice of his party for the same posi-
ton. 1t is generally conceded that the
north end of the county, which has
been practically new country but

going forward rapidly, needs man

as to conditions in that section. Mr..
Satterlee is just the man for the place
