4 SETBACK TO SUPERSTITION.
Friday and the Number Thirteen Both
Lucky for America.

Prof. c. A. l.. Totten, formerly mil.
itary instructor in Yale, replying to
the question of a New Yorker whether
1903 is to be lucky or an unlucky year
says: What is the matter with either
Friday or the number thirteen? As
to America, it bears thirteen all over
its heraldry, and Friday has been its
chief day discovery of America, Dec
laratiOn of Independence, etc. We
have thirteen letters in E. Pluribus
Unum, the motto on our great seal.
We have thirteen, thirteen times re-
peated, on that seal. Take out .
new silver quarter, if you have one
left. and count the thirteens, even on
its diverse face. Dear me, don't
worry over the luckiest number. A
full bakers dozen is thirteen-that Is.
one for good measure. pressed down
and running over. Mannasseh was the
thirteenth tribe in Israel and we are

Dean Collins breaches.

Dean Collins of Mandan preached
last evening in st. Mary's church be-
fore a large audience. His subject
was the Christian Priesthood" The
text being the words of Our Saviour
Himself: st. John, chap. Is, verse 16.
II have selected you and appointed
you that you go and bring forth fruit;
and that your fruit remain"

lions of persons, devided into so ma.
tions. extending to all regions of this
planet. Amongst these fifty nations
is n universal kingdom called the
Christian Church which is Catholic in
members, times and places. It is not
a corporation. a society simply. but a
Living Organization through which
Almighty God speaks, instructs and
governs the human race. This king.
dom, divine in origin and supernatural
in destiny, is the handiwork of Jesus
Christ, his apostles and their leglti.
mate successors during the 1900 years
past. The apostles and their lawful
successors laid the foundations of
Christendom deeply and solidly. They
commenced with the individual. the
family, society, the state and the ma.
ton; thus producing what is known
as christianity and christian civiliza
ton. If Europe, America. Australia
and certain parts of Asia and Africa
are to-day christian we owe it unde,
God to the priesthood of the true
church of Christ. We should there
fore thank God and be exemplary citi
zens of the Kingdom of Christ: and

Disagreement Regarding Quaran

Disagreement Regarding Quaran-
tine.-There is a disagreement be-
tween the county health authorities
and the Washburn road owe the mat
ter of quarantine of Wilton. The
county health authorities hold that un-
less this is done, the Washburn road
will have to quarantine Wilton, and
run through there without stops. The
officials of the road do not think such
a course is necessary, urging that they
will do whatever is reasonable to as
sist with the proper enforcement of
quarantine regulations at Wilton, but
that the enforcement of a quarantine
regulation that would deprive the town
of railroad communication would be
arbitrary. DR.. Chamberlain. county
health officer, is at Wilton investigat-
ing the matter.

That stretch of the avenue extend

tieth streets, comprising fourteen
blocks and about three-fourths of a
mile long, has upward of 100 private
houses, the largest and finest in the
city. They present an imposing APP

to the elite; within them are all the
appointments of luxury and refine
ment that money al buy, and troops
Of servants to do the slightest bid

music Of children's voices and the
patter Of childish feet are sounds not
heard.
A census of the specified district,
made as accurately as the difficulties
Of the inquiry permit, revealed the
fact that fifty representative families
have a showing of only forty-eight
children, or less than one, to each
household.
Within the district are several

Of the eyes, for the children are seen
about the streets in this quarter and
nothing speaks of their existence to
the ~passerby.
Down In the tenement district of
the lower East Side the contrast is
found. Here the streets are throng-
ed with children, whether the
weather be fair or foul. Their homes
are poor, narrow, boxlike rooms in
the huge tenement buildings. One of
the largest of these stands on the cor
ner of Orchard and Broome streets.
1t is six stories high and has accom-
modations for ~forty-eight families. At
present forty-seven are housed in it,
and these families have among them
a total Of 1876 children. Seven fami-
lies, recently married, have no Off
spring. The showing of the others is
as follows: Nine families have one
child each, nine families have two
children each, six families have three
children each, two families have four
children each, even families have
five children each, three families
have six children each, three families
have seven children each, and one
family has eight children.
The figures tell their own story, but
only in part, since the families here
represented who have fewest child
