Through lack of funds it is probable
the public schools Of Salt Lake City
will be closed about the LIST of May.
Some one has blundered, that such a
condition of affairs should exist in this
wealthy community. 1t means the
loss, not of two, but of several months
TO every child. The seriousness Of this
may be measured by considering what
it would mean to working man to
Iose six months Of his time; and, in the
end. this is what it Wi cost every
pupil who has to work for his living
after his education is completed.
The glaring injustice so inflicted
upon the children of the poor will be
further emphasized if the schools are
kept open for the benefit of those who
can pay private tuition fees to the
teachers, as is proposed by some. 1t is
not claimed that this should not be
done. Those who can afford it have
the right to give their children all
possible advantages, and would be
neglecting their duties if they allowed
them to go without schooling because
the public schools are to be closed.
Still the handicap under which the
poor struggle is heavy enough with
out the extra burden imposed by such
municipal mismanagment

or without even knowing whether the
negro race would be pleased by what
he said. He said that the idea of MAX
ing any distinction in civil and po-
litical matters because OF race or IAN
guage or color was most un-American
and that he should use his influence
against it.
Manhattan college, New York, has
concluded to have the college repre-
scented at the Worlds Fair by the
work done in the four classes of the
English department. Application for
space has been made and granted.
The very remarkable conversion has
been announced of NJ. Lepz, leading
rabbi of Genoa. A great impression
has been made on the inhabitants ow-
ing to his very prominent position. 1t
is said he desires to study for the
priesthood and to enter a missionary
order.
The London Daily News is gathering
statistics of church attendance in that
city. The work thus far has not been
completed, but in it's present unfinished
state it shows that out of 2,469, 4l6 souls
only 4S7 ,109 go to a place of worship.

1t is reported that Henry Labouchere
intends retiring from parliament to re-
side chiefly in a beautiful villa recon-
structed for him in the suburbs of
Florence. Italy. A rumor is also afloat
that he will embrace the Catholic faith
of which his wife and daughter are
jealous members.
According to the opinion of the New

New York, may be required to accept
the Office of bishop of Buffalo.
In India the Catholic population is
2,164,000. The Catholic population of
Ceylon is 326,3S9. The Anglicans of
British India number only 111,S24; Bap-
lists, 2,10S; Presbyterians. 1881; Luth
Grams, 1,400; Methodists, 1898. A poor
showing for those who boast that
Protestant Christianity is making
more progress than Catholic.

Easter.

THE penitential season is at an end
and the glorious feast of Easter,
the most important celebration by
the church, is with US. 1t derives its
supreme significance from the fact that
without the resurrection all that had
gone before would have come to naught.
When Christ died on the cross He made
the supreme sacrifice of a man for his
fellow men. When He rose from the
tomb triumphant, He proved Himself
God, the Forgiven of sins and Founder
of the church which should carry on
His work until the end of time.
Those who attack the Christian re-
ligion bring all their arguments to bear
to refute the truth of the resurrection.
The birth and death of Christ they adj
init as undisputed historical facts, but
they deny that He rose from the dead
on the third day. Yet the proofs of all
three events are precisely the same, and
the weakness of their position lies in
their failure to show wherein the evil
dence is weaker in one case than It is
in the other two.

Governor of Missouri.
e 7. LOUIS, April 9.-The April
, grand jury impaneled today in the
criminal division of the St. Louis
circuit court by Judge Ryan took up
the charges of bribery growing out of
the state alum baking powder exam
ination. Charges have been made by
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee that
Daniel K. Kelley of New York, al
legged executive agent of the baking
powder trust, attempted to give him
$1,000 to secure the appointment of as
sistants who would handle the bill to
repeal the law prohibiting the manu-
facture of "alum" baking powder in
Missouri for the interests of the trust.
Kelley, who was arrested in New
York several days ago at the request
of Governor Dockery, was later re-
leased on his own recognizance. A
requisition for Kelley, signed by Gov
ernor Dockery, is now in the hands of
st. Louis detective en- route to New
York City, and a telegram has beeSl
sent by Circuit Attorney Folk to Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, asking that
Kelley be rearrested and held to await
the arrival Of the requisition papers.
Among the witnesses to appear be-
fore the grand jury are several state
senators and Whitney Layton, man
ufacturer of antitrust baking powder,
who is alleged to have been compelled
to move his plant from Missouri by

Searnen

Washington, April "a long dispatch
came to Acting Secretary Darling of the
navy department tonight from Rear Ad-
miral Higginson. commanding the North
Atlantic squadron at Pensacola. A por-
ton of it, presumably giving details of
the accident to the twelve-inch gun, was
in cipher and will not be deciphered un-
til tomorrow morning. The only intel

next of kin of three of them, which are
supposed to be the casualties resulting
from the accident. The three names given

to the department, here, are supposed by
Secretary Darling to be those who were

THREE KILLED,
FIVE INJURED

~ ENSACOLA, Fla, April "a dis
astrous explosion occurred on the
battleship Iowa today while the
vessel was at target practice in the
gulf. The forward port 12-inch gun
burst from a premature explosion of i
shell, twelve feet of the piece outside
the turret being demolished. Three
men were killed and five injured, two
seriously.
The Killed.
First Glass Seaman Kiele.
Ordinary Seaman Purcell.
Gunner's Mate Berry.
The injured: First Glass Seaman
Gercht, Ordinary Seamen Tuesdale,
Brown Rothschild and Parrucker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second. or. gun deck, at mess. Three
pieces of the exploded gun, each weigh
ing over a ton, passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing the three
named
Horribly Mutilated.
All of the men were horribly mutt
lated. The heavy missiles, after pass
ing through the gun deck, continued
down to the third deck, where they
came in contact with the armored deck,
the heavy steel bringing them to stop,
thus saving the engineers and firemen
who were at work below.
Although the upper decks were covered
with men, none was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the mess
had been sounded. The firing was to
have ceased after the shot for the din
ner hour. The range had been set, and
the Iowa was steaming along at a
speed of twelve knots an hour when
the officer in charge of the 12-inch tur-
ret gave orders to load and fire. The
time fuse was set, the piece charged,
the breech closed and the word given to
fire.
Shell Exploded in Gun.
Following the report of the gun there
was a smothered noise as the shell ex-
ploded midway in the gun, and pieces
of the bursted gun and she'll were scat
tered broadcast. Three great holes
were torn through the deck. The Mas
sachusetts, six miles distant. was sig
nailed for aid, and one of the cutters
put off with surgeon and assistant
surgeons. The injured men were taken
to the hospital and their injuries
dressed. The dead were brought to
PNnsacola. Some claim the explosion
was caused by a defective shell, and
others think that the frequent firing of
the piece at Culebra during the winter,
added to the work done here during
the past ten days, so strained the piece
that the force of the charge burst the
gun.

Car.

n GDEN, April 9.-Sheriff James of
" Uinta county, Wyoming, tele-
phoned to the Ogden officers to-
night information pointing strongly
that a murder had been committed in

a coupling pin, which lay near at hand
in the car 1t was ascertained that the
box car had just come from Ogden, and
the physicians who examined the body
said that the man must have been dead
about twenty-four hours, hence the
fact that the murder was committed
in Ogden was we'll established. The
name of the man could not be learned,
but the description was that of a man
between 40 and IS years old; five feet
five inches in height; weighed about 155
pounds; hair of light blonde, tinged
with gray; heavy brown moustache;
and wore a black sateen shirt, dark

My Dear Sir-Replying to your favor
asking my approval OF The lnuermountalu
Catholic since its establishment in this
diocese, / viii state that / consider the
founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake
not the least OF the many blessings be-
slowed by Providence on the Church here
during the past two years. Its birth oc-
Cured at an oppo-tune time Its zeal IN
propagating Catholic truth has had,
since its inception, my hearty though
silent approval / believe with Our Holy
Father that "a good Catholic journal is
perpetual mission III a parish" and that
II will serve as a question box, at al
times, for anxious mquirers. In my Wis
itations l shall hope to find The inter
mountain Catholic in the homes of every
Catholic family. Its mission is to es-
pouse 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
entrusted to my charge should encourage
your noble effort and that of the gen
erous founder OF The Intermountaln

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

The Salt Lake Telegram recently
printed a table of statistics showing
that this city has the highest per cent
of divorces to marriages in the Union,
the proportion being one divorce to six
marriages. This appalling demonstra-
ton Of the rottenness Of society is
enough to make any one shudder. III
considered unions between immature
boys and girls seem to be the prime
cause Of this public scandal Such as
these marry without a thought of the
morrow, merely to crafty a passing
fancy. knowing only too well that the
law will set them free whenever they
tire Of the nuptial bond. The law
should throw around those contem-
plating matrimony some such safe
guards against hasty action as the
Catholic church, in her wisdom, i'm
poses upon her children. The figures
prove the necessity thereof, to say
nothing of the notorious laxity OF
morals existing in our midst which
makes Salt Lake a byword throughout
the length and breadth of the land.

LITIGATION, is evidenced by the editorial
comment in the Brooksville CKy0 Re-
view of March 6: wv. L. Delaney is
billed to lecture at this place Friday
and Saturday nights. It is said that
the object of his speech is to denounce
the Catholic religion. Such men as
Delaney should not be permitted to
come into a town TO stir up strife
among the churches. Trouble was
caused at MaysvilIe some years ago
by another such person as Delaney and
the people of Flemingsburg would not
permit him to speak in that town.
Neither should this man be allowed to
lecture in Brooksville."
