EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH A CHURCH. -
\ number of agitators belonging to the
Katipunan, a widespread secret organiza-
tion, are using their influence among
the ignorant natives of the Philippine
Islands in the direction of organizing a
Filipino church, renouncing Romanism
as administered by the representatives
of that church in the Philippines. 1t is
proposed to make Father Gregorio
Aglipay, an communicated native
priest, archbishop. The would-be
founders of the new church have nomi-
mated Governor Taft, Aguinaldo and
Senior Tavera as honorary presidents of
their council. 1t is proposed to appoint
thirteen Filipino bishops. Threats are
made to take the Catholic churches, in
Guiding the Manila Cathedral, it being
claimed that the people built these
churches, and are, therefore, the owners
of them. The movement is generally
ridiculed, but it is possible that il may
prove serious. Aguinaldo and Senior
Tavera are indignant at being named
presidents of the council. They de-
nOunce the scheme as a mOney-making
one, intended to fool the ignorant and to
have political effect upon the Congress
sional elections in the United States.
The civil government is preparing the
of eighty-three members of
the Katipunan, who recently organized
in Risal province. Theypro-
fessed to be revolutionists, but it is prob
able that their only object was to loot
he ignorant provincials.

cause trouble. This was feared when
Mr.. LawIess entered the race with Mr.
Maynard for the congressional nomina-
ton in the Norfolk district and has
been realized, for on Friday night Mr..
Lawless and friend of Mr. Maynard
became involved in personal encounter
in Norfolk during political discussion.
For the sake of the democratic cause in
that district it is hoped that no more
such scenes will occur. The republicans
will make desperate effort to capture
the Norfolk district anyway, relying on
democratic dissensions to help them.

AT THE negro congress in Atlanta on
Saturday Booker Washington made an
address in marked contrast to that made
by New Orleans delegate on the day
before in which the latter made threats
against the white race. Washington,
among other things, said:
While we have been of service to this coun-
try, we have obtained much, both in slavery
and freedom that has fitted us for the duties
of useful citizenship. | want to see an in
fluence 60 ont of this meeting that shall, if
possible, take every negro from off the street

without that race being weakened, narrowed
and degraded Let MS cultivate friendship
and love for all races and individuals and

little, let us try to be great; if others would
hate us. let us try to love them; if others
would be cruel TO us, let us he merciful; if
others would break the law, let us respect it;
ifothers would seek to push us down, let us
seek to raise them. In the long run it Is the
race that helps To push up that succeeds.
Finally let us never grow discouraged. We
have made immense progress as race. Let
us remember that the sureSt protection will
be our usefulness To the community in which |
we live.
If the advice of Prof. Washington
were taken his race would be immensely |

CUBA is about to make a new appeal
to the United States-an appeal that Is
likely to put the administration to the
supreme test. President Roosevelt will
be asked by President Palma's govern
ment whether, if Cuba will sign a re-
ciprocity treaty with the United States at
this time, the President will call AZ extra
session of the Senate in September to
have that body consider the treaty. The
business depression and the perPlexities
of the Cuban administration are growing
at such rate that the Cuban govern
ment is represented to be willing to give
the United States almost any advantage
it might ask in return for opening up
the American market to Cuban sugar,
tobacco and fruit at the reduction of %
per cent. Since the adjournment Of
Congress matters in Cuba have been
going from bad to worse, period Of
depression has set in and the republic
appears unable to extricaic itself from
its difficulties without the assistance of
the United States. All of which tends
to the belief long ago entertained that
conditions in Cuba will continue to grow
worse until those who would have it so
decide that it must become part of the
United States for its own preservation.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST II, 1902.

THE RIGHT Rev. BISHOP HOBAN, Of
the Scranton Pa.) diocese, at mass in
Scranton yesterday made reference to the
strike which attracted considerable at
tention. He pointed out the dangers OF
socialism which might cause endless
trouble to the working people. He
hoped that Catholics wOuldsee to it that
this dangerous doctrine got no foothold
among them. Rev. II. p. O'Rielly, OF
the Annunciation Church in Shenan-
doah again denounced the United Mine
Workers and their leaders from
the altar of his church yesterday
morning. He called upon membe.s
of his flock to quit the organi
cation which he held responsible for all
the trouble in the mining region, and
said he had neither sympathy nor re-
spect for them. All law abiding people
naturally view strikes with apprehen
sion, as they are liable to run into dis
orders. crime and anarchy, and these
who precipitate them take upon them
selves a great responsibility. There are
disorderlv elements in all communities
who are ever ready to take advantage OF
such movements for the purpose OF loot
and plumber. lfthe strike in the Penn
sylvania coal region is prolonged there Is
no telling what will be the result. Con-
ditiOns have already arrived at an accute
stage, and a volcano may yet break out
which will precipitste a reign OF terror.
In the meantime one man holds the key
to the situation. He it is who is to say
when this order of things shall cease.
His ipse dixit goes, arguments, justice
and common sense to the contrary not
withstanding. 1t is a sad state of affairs
when the peace of an entire region is
menaced by one man and he heretofore
TO fame unknown. The advice given
by Bishop Hoban to members OF his
flock is equally applicable to those OF
other persuasiOns. We are living in
periOus times and the law from Mount
Sinai forbidding us to follow multitude
to do evil is as operative now as ever.

HELEN KELLER's FIRST EARNINGS
She Wanted Money to Buy an Island
ufOr Summer Home and She
Earned it.

There is pretty story in connec-
ton with the series Of articles which
Helen Keller, the wonderful blind
girl, has written for the Ladies' Home
Journal, telling about her own life
from infancy to the present day.
She has always shrunk from the pub
licity which follows successful liter
airy work, and it was with great diff
ficulty that she was persuaded to
take up the task of preparing her
autobiography. She had, however,
set her heart on owning an island in
Halifax harbor for summer home,
and in spirit OF fun the editor of
The Journal offered to buy it for her,
or TO provide her the means to buy

peared especially lrksome Miss KEEL
Ter was reminded of her desire 10

her on. Just before Christmas she
completed the first chapter of her

morning she received from her pub
fishers check for good round
sum. Her delight may be mag
ined, for this was the first money of
any account which she had ever
earned cit is fairy tale come
true, she said Whether she will
really carry out her plan to buy the
island remains to be seen.

wounded and then there was a rat
ting exchange of musketry, min
gled with the yells that Indians pre-
scribe for such occasions.
But there was a rallying to the
rear, and the wounded men were LET t
IN the brush. Catleys command
fell back on the camp it had recently
left. On the north of it, sloplng
not overly steep, was a grass COW
cred mountain that scared skyward
quite considerable. AT several points
on this mountain hugh granite bould-
ers jutted out.
The command climbed up three
fourths the distance to the top, while
the Indians continued to pepper away
from the higher rocks on the east.
A squad of soldiers sneaked down
to the brush below and brought up
+
the wounded men, whose agony may
be imagined while they supposed
they were to be left to the tortures
of the savages
There was no water up on the
mountain, but there was a keg of
vinegar in one of the packs, and this
was divided around among the SOL
diers, who drank it out of their tin
cups, and at once named the place
Vinegar hill.
Toward evening the pack mules
began to realize that the usual thing
for them was to have their packs
taken off, but no unpacking was
done. AS is generally the case the
mules became tired and began to lie
down under their packs, and it kept
Dave Monroe and Alex Foster, the
packers, quite busy in prying them
up
Some of the soldiers made a dash
to take position among the rocks
at the crest of the mountain, but
volley from that point reminded
them that it was already occupied by
the enemy.
So it was decided by the COM
mander to abandon the position as
soon as darkness should come to
cover the retreat AS the sun sank
over the mountain to the west, the
moon rose over the mountain to the
east, so that there was but slight
decrease of daylight, for the orb of
night beams brightly up In the Sal
mon river range, and vies with the
stars in shedding silvery rays an ev-
cry crag, on every open hillside.

1t was past midnight when the
moon touched the top of the tim
bered ridge to the westward and
sloped out of sight, and then bust
ness began. The kegs of horseshoes
and mule shoes and -four and such |
heavy stuff were taken from the
packs, thrown on the ground and
abandoned, and to the music of some
scattering shots from the Indians the
command retreated along the hog
