William Tecumseh Sherman was the
most picturesque figure of the civil war.
His character was absolutely pure and
spotless.
He had a vigorous and penetrating in
tellect. clear in comprehension, and
prompt in decision
The story of his brilliant career Is one
OF the most interesting ever told. His
early life was spent IN poverty and OBJ
security; he rose to the highest pinnacle
of fame without the aid Of wealth or
influence TO lift him above his surround
ings. and he carved his name high be
fore the eyes Of the world and died
amidst the honors OF the nation he had
defended so nobIy.
He was a self-made man. a patriot
who courted sacrifice and death. lead
er of undaunted bravery. brilliant
strategy, and unfailing resources. He
had not only military genius. he had the
highest qualities of citizen of the Re
public. He ranks among the worlds
greatest heroes and generals.
A Manly Man.
He was a manly man in the full ac-
ceptation of the term. He was fond of
young people and in sympathy with the
plain people. He was a man of simple
manners and thoroughly devoid Of any
pretense. He was fond of attending
Grand Army gatherings. and on these
occasions he would appear at his best !;
he was a gentleman in all that the word
implies
General Sherman came from brainy
stock, his great-grandfather. grand
father. and father and his brother
Charles were judges. He was relative
and descendant of Roger Sherman, one
OF the signers OF the Declaration Of
Independence.
He was born at Lancaster. Ohio. Feb
ruary s. 1870. and was named after the
Indian chief Tecumseh. for whom his
father had great admiration. His father
died suddenly June "a. 1899. at the age

CATHOLIC LITERATURE.

GOOD BOOKS are always in de-
mand Catholic controversial works
should be within the reach of all pur-
chasers. A book whose maximum
price neatly bound, would not exceed
twenty cents, and is sold at a dollar
is not only demanding an exorbitant
price, but deprives the Catholic cause
of the great good that could be at
tanned by the distribution of such
works. 1t is not only a detriment to
the cause of religion, but also to the
publishers who, depending on small
sales, make up their percentage by a
large margin of profit. If the prices
charged were cut in two, the sales
would double, for every jealous Cath
ole would keep a small number of
such works for free distribution among
their Protestant friends.
No more popular controversial work
than 1.-THE Faith of Our Fathers" by
Cardinal Gibbons, was ever published
in this country. Priests, as a rule, try
to place it in the hands of all religious
inquirers. 1t takes up all the popular
objections, and, without any attempt
at philosophy, answers these objec-
tions in a plain, simple, matter-of-fact
way. His style is so plain that no per
son interested in Catholic truth could
fail to be impressed with his common
sense and scriptural arguments. That
little book, which has done so much
good, and which has helped poor mis-
sionary priests in instructing newly
made converts, if sold at half the
price now asked, would treble it's pres
ent sale. The margin of profit would,
in the end, be greater because of the
increased sale of the book. The good
that would be attained in circulating
such works, when sold at a reasonable
price, should not be measured by pc
cuniary gain. The aim of the distin-
guished author, namely, the propaga-
ton of Catholic truths, should not be
impeded by exorbitant prices.

nifty, why should we not honor her?
Fine Christians we should be, indeed,
if we refused her the honor that is
due to her; and great honor and re-
spect would we show to Him who has
given her that exalted rank above
every other creature in heaven, on
earth and under the earth(?) She is
the greatest and most exalted in dig
nifty, because she is the Mother of God,
and she is the greatest in sanctity,
because she has been adorned with
the plenitude of grace.

Placing flowers upon thy altar,
To honor thee, our Queen of May"

oFFIcIAL ENDORSEMENT.

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-Replying to your ia
yor asking my approval of The Inter-
mountain Catholic since it's establish
ment in this diocese, l will state that
l 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. Its birth occurred at
an opportune time. It's 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, d"
and that it will serve as a question
box, at all times, for anxious inquir-
ers. In my visitations 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
that 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.

CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAM.

1 feel it my duty to protect Catho-
lies 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 a
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.

"QUEEN OF May"

THE MONTH OF MAY is once more
upon us, and the joy and gaiety which
it brings are everywhere seen and felt.
Nature herself, for months past, held,
as it were, in the iron bonds of an en-
forced slavery, now proclaims her graf
itude for being free. The birds carol
forth their songs of sweetest melody,
the flowers, yielding to the kiss of old
Father SOL" bud forth in rich pro-
fusion of tints and hues, the trees and
meadows are in sympathy and don
their robes of emerald green-all ma
ture is clothed in her richest garb to
greet the return of the glorious May.
All this, bespeaking the joy and glad
ness of inanimate nature, finds re-
sponsive echo in the heart of man, the
nobler creation, and he is joyous, too
From time immemorial May has been
to him a time of gladness. The out
break into new life and beauty which
marks all nature instinctively inspires
him. The first emotion is a desire to
seize some part of that profusion of
flower or blossom which spreads
around, to set up in decorative fash
ion, and to let the pleasure which it
eXcites find expression in mirth and
song. Even among pagans the ten
dency has been to render to this vege-
table trophy sort of homage. In
some countries, especially in England,
as we learn from historians, it was
customary during the middle ages for
all, both high and low-even the court
itself-to go out into the fields and
woods on the first May morning at an
early hour ''to fetch the flowers
fresh" The trophies of the expedition
were carried home by the people
amidst all possible signs of joy and
merriment, and used to decorate the
doors and windows of their homes.
The custom was popularity known as
going a-Maying." In many in
stances the fairest maid of the village
was crowned with flowers as the
Queen of May" placed in a little
bower or arbor, where she sat in state,
receiving the homage and admiration
Of the youthful jewellers, who danced
and sang around her.
The Church has taken up this GUS
tom with all it's ancient enthusiasm,
out it has taken a spiritual turn. Her
are enthused and filed with
he spirit of glorious May, but-how
differently! Of old it was the spirit
If the world; today it is the spirit of

7illage" was chosen, today is chosen
IS Queen of the May" Mary, the i'm
naculate Virgin Mother of God, the
Lily of the Valley" the Cypress of

ows of homes; today they are gath

Mr.. Richard O'Neil, prominent
Catholic of Nevada, wooed the heart
of one of Salt Lakes most charming
and literary young ladies, Miss Mary
McFadden, prominent school
teacher in the public schools of the
city, was the happy bride. Miss Nc
Fadden is a graduate of st. Mary's
academy, and has been special cor
respondent of the Intermountain Cath
olic for two years. She has served in
the same capacity on the Deseret
News during the past year. Her COM
munications to the Intermountain
Catholic during the Buffalo exhibition
attracted the attention of many read
ers. Last summer, whilst spending
her vacation in Idaho, her descriptive
letters Of the wild scenery and desert
ed log cabins of abandoned mining
camps in that state were most vivid
and real.

Wednesday morning at st. Mary Mag
dalen's church. The marriage cere-
mony was followed by a nuptial mass.
Miss Gleason had her choir sing some
select music during the mass. An
Ave Maria" by Miss Owens was ar
tistically rendered. The ceremony
was performed by Father Kelly. Mr..
Fred McGurrin and Miss Jennie SuIIi-

ceremony strictly private, but a large
number of friends, who heard of the
marriage, were present to extend their
fluctuations to the happy couple.
The Intermountain Catholic unites
with their many friends in wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Neil happiness and
prosperity in their married life.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish
is perpetual mission. Let all who
truly and from their souls desire that
religion and society defended by hui
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 or
uncertain and miserable ones.

SPECIAL DEPARTMENT.
FOR BUSINESS INSTRUCTION.
There will be a special department for
business instruction such as IL now afforded
by leading business colleges.
Both boys and girls will be given the ad-
vantages of manual training.
For the boys there will be carpentry
shops, forge shops, shops equipped with
lathes and other machine tools.
For girls, besides the customary features
of cooking and sewing in its higher aspects,
there will be special instruction in the hy-
eiere and sanitation of the home, the chem
istTy of food, the. nursing of the sick. first
aid in case of accident and other branches
of practical, everyday knowledge.
Added to these various lines of feminine
occupation there will be proper regard paid
to aesthetic work in design and the applied
arts.
The scientific work in the manual training
high school will be facilitated by labora-
tories in physics. chemistry and biology,
with appointments that have been carefully
designed and made after a thorough in
spection of the leading high schools of both
the East and West,
When completed, the Mckinley High
School will have cost 1910, 600. and will be an
ornament to the part of the city in which
1t is located. More than this, 1t will stand
for an institution affording both humanely
broadening education and a practical prep
aration for life work to the young students
who come within its doors.
The new Washington University and the
new Mckinley High School,, both to be
opened at the close of the Worlds Fair.
VIII represent two of the greatest technical
institutions of learning in the world.
