HOW PEACE was RESTORED
A Cold Love Affair Warmed Over by
 Jamaca Ginger.

There have for some ;ime been nandez and Luis Garcia, which not long ago culminattd in a fight and the arrest of Garcia and also the wo- man. When the matter was finally ad- lusted in the courts she refused fO receive Garcia again and he threaten ed to kill her. When that did not alarm her sufficiently he threatened = kill any other man upon whom she IF. ght bestow her companionship. Ev- an that had TO effect and then Garcia thre1 tened to kill himself Mary Her uandez laughed at him.
 On Saturady he went to her house and told her that the time had come fer him to die. He' took a bottle of will ainous looking liquid out of his pocket and bade his former sweet heart goodbye. Still Mary Hernandez laugTed. for she thought she knew Luis Garcia to be too big a coward 10 die.
 He finally took a big drink of the stuff ard fell off the chair and groan- ed in agony. At first Mary Hernandez thought he was feining and she still laughed. but pretty soon great drops or sweat SlOb0 out Oll Iue pdiS DTOW of Luis Garcia, who was getting paler Ill the time. He was in evident pain, and Mary Hernandez quit laughing and remembered how she used to love the dying man.
 Under the circumstances many peo- pie would have sent for a doctor, but Mary Hernandez had been used to carrying her troubles to the courts, so she hunted up Justice Burnett. She brought with her what was left Of the contents Of the bottle and it was found to be an unusually strong brew of Jamaica ginger. The justice order ed Luis Garcia to be brought before him. He was still under the influence of the stimulant and acted like a man whose intestinal arrangements were being disturbed.
 He was charged with disturbing the reaoe of Mary Hernandez and was sent to the county jail for ten days

HE GOES THE LIMIT
He is Warned by a Bear of His Prox-
 imity to Drunkenness.

There is a gentleman living in this part of the country and operating some mines in Yavapai county. He is veteran of the civil war and when he arrived in Arizona he met the on- ly man he had ever seen in the west who belonged to his regiment. They were not long in forming an acquain- tance which quickly ripened into 2 strong friendship.
 The mining gentleman is called ma ior and his friend is known by the name of Jack. Not long ago they were In the Bank Exchange and the major had grown mellow under the influence of many bowls. Jack cautioned him about his proximity to the danger line.
 "Oh, I'm all right" said the major; T been drinking whiskey for forty years and was never drunk in my life. Shay, Jack, if you ever see me drunk I want you to take me off and rut me to bed" Well" said Jack. "if you aint drunk now, how in the name of God am I to know when you are drunk?"
 The major cast about for some way of identifying him in an inebriated condition and his gaze fell by accident upon the big stuffed bear standing on his hind legs on top of the refrigera- tor. Shay. Jack" said he Heres a way you can always tell when I've had enough. f ever yCu see zhat bear wink at me like zhish (and the major described the wink) I got enough an you take me off an put me to bed"
 Not long after that Jack went into the Bank Exchange and found the ma Jor godsend to a lot of buns who had lined up along the bar The ma jor was wobbly and thick of speech. When he had paid for the last of many rounds Jack touched him on the ann and said: Say, major" He then executed a gigantic wink and pointed with his thumb over his right should CT at the bear.
 "zhat so?" asked the major. Did he wink?'
 You bet he wunk," replied Jack: Ines been winking for an hour"
 Well, said the major, I guess it's time for me to go to bed"
 Jack led him out amid the murmur- Ing of the buns and saw him asleep in the Commercial. Now wheneve. the major gets to drinking he keeps his eye on the bear. and whenever he thinks he sees 9 signal of disapprovaI he gees to bed.

NOVEL BLASPHEMY.

The rival prophets and fake Mes
siahs are getting down to business.
A new light in the world of hysterical
religion, Mira Ghulam Ahmad, a
Hindoo rival of John Alexander Dowie
of Chicago and New Zion" H., has
challenged the latter to call on God
to curse himself if he lies, instead of
praying for curses on the head of the
other fellow. This is the form of the
challenges:
That, without threatening the Mo-
hammedan public in general with de-
struction, he should choose me as
his opponent and pray to God that
of us two whoever is the liar may
perish first. Which of us is right, is
the real point at issue. If Dr. Dowie
is certain he should publish the pro-
posed prayer with the signatures of
at least one thousand men affixed to
it. Upon receiving it, l should adj
dress the. same prayer and publish it
with the signatures of the same num-
Der of witnesses. If DR.. Dowie has
the courage to accept this challenge,
he will thereby open a way for all
other Christians to the acceptance of
truth"
This is very much to the point and
is not a bit worse than the anathemas
Dowie has been launching at his OPP
ponents for some years. 1t looks as if
the Mohammedan, who has come
from out the dark, mysterious East
to enlighten the poor benighted peo-
pie of the West. is the better of the
two. He is probably a fierce but hon
est fanatic while our own Dowie is an
mpostor pure and simple.

But few realize the good work that
is accomplished in this institution,
Only on such occasions as last Mon
day, when the public are invited,
could one learn how comprehensive
the studies are. Some of the most
difficult questions in percentage, par
tial payments, present worth, and
other kindred subjects were pro-
pounded, and figured out With precis
ion by boys and girls whose ages
could not exceed Twelve years.

THE SPREAD OF LYNcHINe.

1t is a strange and terrible common
tary on the laxity of public morality
and the contempt for law and order
prevailing in this land that minis
ter of the gospel should rise in his
pulpit to defend the crime of lynch
ing. This thing happened last Sun
day in Chicago. and the sermon has
been aplauded to a certain extent by
a portion of the secular press, includ-
ing one of Salt Lakes daily papers.
Cardinal Gibbons recent remarks on
this subject were certainly timely,
even if they have not accomplished a
cure of the evil.
In the eyes of God and of the law
of the land lynching is murder, espe-
cially such acts of vengeance with
out the semblance of a trial as have
been the character of re-
cent crimes of this nature. The I'M
speakable horror of burning man to
death at the stake stamps the perpe
traitors OF the deed as savages of the
lowest type.
Once in a great while the ignorant
and half civilized peasantry of Rus
STA indulge in the 2astime of jew
batting and we Americans, along with
the rest of the civilized world, throw
up our hands in holy horror at the
thought of such a thing. Almost ev-
cry day crimes even more inexcusa-
BILE are committed by mobs of edu-
Gated Americans without fear of pun
ishment In Russia the thing does
not happen twice il the same place |
as long as there are any left who |
remember the visitation of the Cos
sacks sent by the Gar to restore or
der in the troubled district. Here the
committal of murder by mob serves
to ensure a repetition of the crime
by people encouraged thereto by
from punishment.
BAD as a negro brute may be, IL is
not with him that reform needs to
begin The highest courts of the land
are most to blame. The slowness and
of the administration of
the criminal law lies at the bottom of
it all. and it should not be hard to
correct this. The experience of other
countries is that swift and stern pun
shment by the courts and officers of
he law inspires the people with con-
idence and criminals with dread
The disgraceful fact remains that
ynching is unheard of without the
limits of the United tSates.

The Holy Father has appointed a
commission to revise the legendary
and photographed lessons of the bre-
wary. Only priests hereafter to be or
dained will be obliged to use the
amended breviary; also members of
religious orders saying the office in
common. We like the old breviary
stories, improbable and often impos-
sible as they are. They do not relate
facts, but attest to the piety and faith
and poetic faculty of the past ages OF
the church. People in those days lived
in touch with the saints; now they
seem to hold communion more with
the laboratories and ibraries.-West.

BISHOP scANLAN HoNoRED.

The closing exercises at Kearns' St
AIMS orphanage took place in the
large hall last Monday. Being the an
niversary of Bishop Scanlan's conse-
Grafton, that date was selected to
honor his Lordship, who has been the
founder of the institution. and always
acted the part of a good father to
the children entrusted to his charge.
Those commencement exercises,
which were unique, consisted of a re
view of the studies by the different
classes during the year. The mono
tony of continuous examination was
broken by the interspersion of must
cal selections, vocal and instrument
tai. The programme, which is pub
lished on another page, shows not
only variety in the school years ex-
ercises, but departure from the old
method. From the little tots who
were learning to count and spell up
to the young misses who gave a prac-
teal exhibition of their knowledge of
and type writing, all
seem Thoroughly versed in the differ
ent branches in which they were ex-
amined. Bishop Seaman, who was
the honored guest, could not conceal
his joy at the successful efforts Of
the different classes. He said it was
an object lesson for all present, and
while pleased with the expressions of
owe and loyalty towards himself, he
was still more pleased to see that all
he children were making good use of
heir time. His Lordship was the re-
,ipient of many complimentary re-
marks on the practical businesslike
which was given in
lonor of the sixteenth anniversary of
lis conservation as Bishop of Salt
lake.

THE PoPE,s ApMoNITloN.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish
is perpetual mission. Let all who
truly and from their souls desire that
religion and society defended by hu-
man intellect and literature should
flourish, strive by their liberality to
guard and protect the Catholic press,
and let every one in proportion to his
income support them with his money
and influence, for to those who de-
vote themselves to the Catholic press
we ought by all means to bring helps
Of this kind, without which their in
dustry will either have no results OF
uncertain and miserable ones.

OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT.

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-Replying to your IA
vor asking my approval of The Inter
mountain Catholic since it's establish
ment in this diocese, will state that
1 consider the founding of a Catholic
paper in Salt Lake not the least of the
many blessings bestowed by Provi-
dence on the Church here during the
past two years. It's birth occurred at
an opportune time. Its zeal in propa-
eating Catholic truth has had, since
its inception, my hearty though silent
approval l believe with Our Holy
Father that "a good Catholic journal
is a perpetual mission in a parish, ="
and that it will serve as a question
box, at all times, for anxious inquir-
ers. In my yisitations l shall hope to
find The Intermountain Catholic in
the homes of every Catholic family.
Its mission is to espouse truth, justice
and morality, and all devoted priests
will find in it an able co-operator in
their missionary work. 1t is my wish
shat all my priests and the laity en-
trusted to my charge should encour-
age your noble effort and that of the
generous founder of The Intermoun-
tain Catholic. Yours sincerely,
L. SCANLAN.
Bishop of Salt Lake.

CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAN.

feel it my duty to protect Catho-
Tics and the public generally from
fraud and imposition by notifying
them from time to time that no per
son bearing the name and garb of
priest or sister, or anyone else, is au-
thorized or permitted to solicit or col
lect in this diocese for any purpose
whatever connected with the Catholic
Church without having from me per-
mission in writing, bearing my seal
and signature. Should anyone be
found engaged in doing this unlawful
work of collecting without such a doc.
ument, he or she, as the case may be.
should be regarded by all as a fraud
and an imposter.

Bishop of Salt Lake.

The terrible explosion in the coal
mine at Hama, Wyo., which killed
over 200 men last Tuesday, adds an
other to the long list of seemingly un-
avoidable accidents in mines. This
is probably the worst that has ever
occurred in the western states and
calls for the sympathy and assistance
of all classes of the community. The
work of the coal miner is arduous,
dangerous and too often badly paid. It
is one of the class of employments
upon which civilization and the very
existence of the human race depend.
Some one must mine the COAL and
the men who risk their lives for our
benefit, and those who are dependent
upon them for support are deserving
TO every consideration at our hands.
This year has been fruitful of great
disasters in different parts of this
country.

Hoodlumism is becoming worse in
Salt Lake City. In proportion to its
size there seem to be more men and
youths without ostensible means of
support than in any other city on the
continent. Satan always finds some
mischief for idle hands to do. but he
was especially busy the other day
when he sent a pack of drunken
young loafers down to Liberty park to
disturb children's picnic. One of
them got shot by policeman and
two others are in Jail, but it is too
much to expect that the rest of the
herd will learn anything from the ex-
ample made of their fellows.

CLOSING EXERCISES.
St. Marx,s School, Park City.

y
Early on the morning of June 80
the writer, accompanied by the Very
Rev. Father Guinan, S. NJ, President
of All Hallows college, and the Rev
Fathers Murphy and Dryer, S. NJ,
all of All Hallow's college, Salt Lake
City, boarded the train for Park City
the model mining town of the West,
not to visit the Silver King, or the
! Ontario mines, nor to examine speci-
mems of the metals coming from
those mines, but to be present at the
| closing exercises of the Catholic
| school there. After a run of over
two hours through the most enchant-
ing mountain scenery, we arrived at
Park City. Carriages were awaiting
us, and having entered them we were
rapidly driven to the residence of the
| esteemed pastor, the Rev. Father Gal
ligan, where, having paid our re-
spects to him, we proceeded to the
convent of the Good Sisters of the
Holy Cross, and did likewise. In
both presbytery and convent a warm
welcome was rendered to us, and all
tnat the most lavish hospitality could
do was done for us from the moment
of our arrival till our departure We
felt that we were at home, and we
were thankful and delighted, all the
more so, because of the complete alb
sence of formal ceremony.
The closing exercises took place in
the Dewey theatre at Z p m. The
hall, large and capacious, was packed
to the doors by an attentive, appre-
ciative and intelligent audience. 1t
was pleasing spectacle to see the
children of the school, boys and girls
so neatly, so tastefully dressed; and
so as to be in harmony with the sur
roundings, the men and women were
attired in their very best.
At Z o'clock sharp, the curtain
went up, and there grouped most pic
turesQuely on the stage were the
children of the school, little and big,
boys and girls. A prolonged Ah!-t
was heard through the hall and then
the pupils were greeted by the audi |
ence with the heartiest applause. The |
eyes of the young ones glowed with
cheeks began TO grow ros-
Ter, and heads were ..fted higher. A
holy pride seemed to reign amongst |
the scholars. The long looked for
night had come at last; children were
to show to parents, relatives and
friends the results of the years hard
work and parents, relatives and
friends would be prouder and happier
ior the success of their young loved
ones for the honors gained by them.
The sympathy of the audience was
gained and through some
mysterious telepathic influence the
were cognizant of the fact,
or in response to thep rolonged
greeting which they received, they
bowed their thanks. The
