ST. PAUL PRIESTS HoNoRED.

1t is not the Catholic population of
St Paul and Minneapolis alone, but
citizens of every denomination who
know Rev. Father ]. N. Stariha, of this
city, and the Rev. Father J. J. Keane,
of Minneapolis, who will rejoice at
their elevation to the episcopate.
Both of these gentlemen have been
identified with this city for many years,
the Rev. Father Stariha as pastor of
st. Francis de Sales church and in his
present capacity as vicar general of
the archdiocese of st. Paul, and the
Rev. Father Keane both as pastor of
st. Joseph's church and as director of
st. Thomas college. They are both
gentlemen of great recognized useful
ness in secular life and of the highest
piety, zeal and devotion in the fulfill
ment of their clerical duties.
The parishioners of the Immaculate
Conception church in Minneapolis, as
we'll as the people of the city generally,
will greatly regret the departure from
among them of citizen of universally
recognized great public worth such as
Father Keane. Since his appearance
in that community he has from the
very outset been recognized as a man
of exceptional force and influence
among all classes.
The Rev. Father Stariha, on the 9TH
er hand, while he has not shared in a
like measure the public attention which
has come to the Rev. Father Keane,
is known to all our people as a quiet,
Jealous and devoted priest of his
church, public-spirited citizen and an
amiable gentleman.
The people of the states of South
Dakota and Wyoming are indeed en-
titled to congratulation on the addi-
ton of two such distinguished and val
liable leaders of men to their citizen
ship.

NEW TRAINING SCHOOLS
FOR YOUNG OFFICERS
Lieutenants Appointed During the
Spanish American War May Re-
ceive instruction.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-Sece
rotary Root, before leaving Washing
ton today, issued the following:
With the reduction of the Philip
pine force and the withdrawal from
Cuba the army is called upon to re-
sumo its most important work in time
of pee ce-the work of perfecting itself
in military science and skill, and of
promoting the preparation of the Unit
ed States against future wars. I wish
to call your attention to the conditions
which now require especial effort and
zeal or your part in the performance
of this duty.
Since the declaration of war with
Spain in April, 1898, there have been
appointed in the line of the army 1,542
lieutenants, in addition to ZIG appoint
ed from the military academy. OF
these GIG were appointed from Off
GERS Of volunteers under the act of
f-eb. 2, 1901; 414rwere appointed from
the enlisted men of the regular and
volunteer armies and 512 were APP
pointed from civil life.
Congress has now made provision for
the reopening Of the army schools, has
given it's sanction to the general sys-
ten: of military education embodied
i'll the general order of Nov. 27 last
including tie enlargement and devel-
opment Of the Fort Leavenworth school
into general service and staff col
Iege, the establishment of the war col
lege at Washington with suitable
buildings and the rebuilding of the
engineer school: and has made ample
appropriations for these purposes.
Every effort Will be made by the
war college board, which has general
supervision and charge of the whole
system, to bring it's advantages to the
new officers of the army as speedily
as possible, and to organize officers
schools at all the considerable posts
without delay. / ask for hearty and
effective cooperation with them on
the part Of every officer of the army
There are 1,452 graduates Of the mill
tary academy now holding commits
sions. They especially have an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate their loyalty to
the principles of that institution by
helping to diffuse throughout the SER
vice the benefits which have come to
them from their four years OF hard
study.

city in the country. We know that the
typographical situation Of the COM
munity is peculiarly promotive of the
best sanitation; that our sewerage sys-
tenn is one of the most extensive and
perfect of any in the entire country.
and that the climate is exceptionally
favorable to human health.
1t is but little to our credit as a COM
munity that this remarkable circum-
stance has received no attention what
ever at any hands. There is hardly
one single circumstance which our
commercial bodies could direct general
attention toward with more advantage
to the community than the one of uni
form and most unbroken record which
st. Paul has made for fifteen or twenty
years past of being, relatively and alb
solutely the most healthful commun-
ity of extensive population in the
world.

TAFT AND HIS PARTY MAY
RECEIVE THE POPE'S GIFTS
If They Are Valuable Must Be Placed
In Smithsonian Institute.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Gov.
Taft has acquainted Secretary Root
with the fact reported in the news dis
patches from Rome that the pope has
rendered pretty and appropriate gifts
to himself and the members Of his par
ty, and he has asked whether these can
lawfully be accepted. 1t was at once
recognized that the question thus pre-
sented involved some very delicate and
interesting points, principal among
them being possible decision, ex-
pressly to be avoided at this stage in
the opinion of the officials, as to the
temporal powers of the pope.
If these were decorations or gifts of
large value, then under the constitu-
tional inhibition they might not be re-
ceived without authority of congress,
if the pope is regarded as having tenn
poral power-as being a prince, poten-
tate or sovereign. Secretary Root has
avoided an unpleasant decision Of this
question by informing Gov. Taft that
if these gifts are not of considerable
intrinsic value, and are personal in
character, they may be accepted as
mere souvenirs in which case the per-
sonality of the giver need not be a mat
ter of official inquiry. On the other
hand, if the gifts are of exceptional
value, which is not believed to be the
case, then they may be deposited in the
Smithsonian institute in this city.

some ability as a singer. Going abroad
she fascinated a sprig of nobility who

This From a Republican Paper.

The reorganized Democracy will
finally pull itself together on the is
sue which has given it the control of
the government the twice it has had
1t in forty years. There is no doubt
among observers that the sentiment in
favor of tariff reform is growing in all
parts of the country, but especially in
the West, regardless of party lines.
The sentiment of the individual Re-
publicans of the West is far more
strenuous for tariff reform, whether by
reciprocity or direct enactment, than
state platforms show. Even party
leaders reveal in private conversation
greater attachment to the conviction
that our present tariff system is be-
coming more obsolete than they deem
it polite to express in public speeches.
This sentiment is going to grow. If the
tariff is not reformed in the house of
it's friends, then, sooner or later, it's
enemies will reform it with bolos and
bludgeons.-M Minneapolis Journal

BUSINESS MEN TO
BUILD AT STATE FAIR
Many. industrial Buildings Going Up

Ihere IS a movement among progress
slVe business men towards putting UP
their own buildings upon the state fair
grounds. This was made evident at the
neetlng OF the board of managers yes
teroay afternoon, when number of
plans were received and some of them
approved
The most notable addition to the
grounds this year will be building to

company, has had this idea in mind
for some time and this year decided
TO put 1T into execution. He has Sc
cured plans from Bertrand & Cham
berla1n, who have designed a classical
structure with pillared porticos at
either end and domed interior which
will be furnished in luxurious style by
the company. Mr.. Harris calls his
building resting place, and will en-
deavor to make it very honey and COM
Portable, and an attractive place for
the ladies who visit the fair.
Plans for smaller structures by the
international Stock Food Company of
Minneapolis and the Christian Science
church were also approved. A num-
Der of other small buildings are be-
ing talked about
The board authorized the proper Of
flcerS to make arrangements with the
Minneapolis labor organizations for
cooperation in the observance of La
Dor day at the fair. 1t is probable that
plans similar to those of two years
ago will be followed out. If this is done
the labor clans will repair to the fair
Immediately after the parade in the
morning, and speeches will be made
and other exercises held. The after
noon will be devoted to seeing the fair
and general samusements.
1t was decided to renew the arrange
ments for tents upon the grounds for
the use of such people as might want
to camp there over night. This has
been found a. great convenience to a
limited number who arrive late at the
grounds or who have exhibits to place
in position or care for.
Another fine plan this year is to
issue a great number Of souvenir post
cards for distribution among mer-
chants and others who will use them
before fair time. They will carry half
tone pictures of buildings or views on
the grounds, and will be very attrac-
tive. 1t is thought that many thousands
of them Will be sent out.
President CoSgrove and Secretary
Randall went to the Winnipeg fair last
evening expecting to exchange greet
ings with the CanuckS and perhaps
pick up some speciality attractions or
pointers for use in the Minnesota fair.
They will return on Friday.

WEDNESDAY, JULY %, 1902.
THE HEALTHIEST CITY IN THE
WORLD,

The last monthly report of the health
department shows that the mortality
rate in this city is lower than that of
any other city in the country for the
month of June.
That circumstance standing alone
does not possess any special signif-
icance. A thousand circumstances or
conditions might apply in one direction
or another in this and the other cities
of the country which might explain
the reduced relative mortality of st.
Paul on a purely accidental basis, even
though it is not at all likely that any
SUCH circumstances or conditions ex-
ist. For over fifteen years the statis-
tics of the several municipalities of
the country and those of a great many
in foreign lands have been available.
In all cases the calculations are made
by the officials of the respective COM
munities. The basis of population
adopted in each case is chosen by the
officials of the city concerned, and is
that of the last official report on pop
ulaton. There is not any essential
difference whatever in the mode of cal
culation adopted by the several cities:
there never has been. Municipal sell
fshness operates naturally as much in
the case of one city in compiling it's
statistics of mortality as in the cases
of the others.
Those who have examined these sta
fiCtiHS hof d.,
and has always had, month after
month, for the period mentioned a
lower relative death rate than that of
any city of over $4,000 population in
any country in the world.
The Sanitary Era, of New York, is
one of the publications which in the
past has given itself over to such com
pilations of statistics, and that publ
cation shows that, with such few ex-
ceptions as to make the general rule
all the more observable, the statistics
of mortality month after month for
a long succession of years establish the
rate of mortality per one thousand of
population per month as lower in st.
Paul than in any other city whatever
This uniform result cannot be re-
garded as in any sense or to any de-
gree whatever due to any cause ex-
cepting alone the superior heaIthfuI-
ness of st. Paul. Were there any trick
in figures involved it is certain that the
other communities would long ago have
brought the fact to the general notice.
70 d.,
maintained the most consistent record
Of healthfulness, but it has not, nor
has any other city, reached month aft
er month anything like the low pro-
portion of mortality among its citizens
which prevails here.
we who reside in st. Paul will un-
aderstand why this is the healthiest
