Salient Points of the Pope's Brief on
=. the New acknowledgements
! ! Recommends the Fostering
: - Of Education. - ~

A summary of the pope's brief in re-
gard to Cuba and Porto Rico, sent to
Archbishop Chapelle, Of New Orleans,
as papal delegate to those islands, has
been received at Washington. In the
message the pope refers to the changes
OF government in the islands and the
necessity for providing for the new
conditions, as he did by appointing a
new delegate, and by decreeing on
September 4, 1901, that Cuba. should
be governed, enthusiastically, by the
same laws as the church in Latin
America, enacted in Rome in 1899.
These provisions, the pope goes son
to say, did not seem to be sufficient
for the new necessities of the island,
hence the present brief, actum Prae-
clare.
Leo XIII. erects the new dioceses of
Pinar del Rio and Cienfuegos, which
comprise, respectively, the provinces
OF Pinar del Rio and the civil prov
ince of Santa Clara. The metEopoli-
tan shall be, for all, the archbishop
OF Santiago. The diocese of Porto
Rico is taken away from the metropoli-
tan's province and made subject. inn
mediately to the holy see.
He wishes the sees of Santiago and
Havana to retain their chapters of
canons. If, however, circumstances
do not permit the full quota, at least
ten canons are to be supported. The
new sees must also have their can
ons. In comforting benefces and can
onries the laws of the council of Latin
America are to be preserved.
The pope then speaks of the necessi-
ty Of sacred and profane learning for

YOUNG MEN. OF TODAY
No Reason Why They Should Not
Make Make Life a: Success.


Marshall Field, prince of successes,
has written letter to the American
young man telling him how to sue
coed. - -.&e-<2 ::"s p r. >.- - te
His advice is based upon the princi-
pies by which he when young man
lived and worked, and through which,
he firmly believes, he won his way up
ward to the place where he stands to-
day.
He places no great stress on ''the
commercial spirit" 1.-The money-mak-
ing instinct" or ''the genius for sue
cess" Instead, he insists upon the
earnest spirit, the honorable instinct
and the genius for hard work.
In his letter Mr. Field mentions as
essential to success only such qualities
as may be acquired. In other words,
Mr.. Field throws open the delectable
fields Of success to all those who are
willing to work to reach them.
The letter was written to DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills in response to certain
questions propounded to Mr.. Field by
DR.. Hills. It opens with the statement
that, above all, a young man should
first choose an occupation for which
he feels himself to be fitted. The writ
er says in so many words that great
fortune is of less Importance to man
in the world than a character, which
will enable him to win the respect and
honor of all with whom he shall come
in contact. The letter is in part as fol-
lows:
Economy is one of the most essen
tial elements of success, yet most
wretchedly disregarded. The old ad-

want" never was more fully exem-
plified than in these days when much
of the want that now prevails would
not exist had care been taken in time
of prosperity to lay up something for
a 'rainy day."
The average young man of to-day,
when he begins to earn, is sooninclined
to habits of extravaganza and waste
fulness; gets, somehow, imbued with
the idea that, irrespective of what he
earns, he must indulge in habits cor
responding to those of some other
young man.
The five, ten or fifteen cents day
that are squandered, while a mere trife
apparently, if saved would in few
years amount to thousands of dollars
and go far toward establishing the
foundat ton of a future career.
Too few realize that in order to &C
quire the dollars one must take care
of the nickels. Careful saving and
careful spending invariably promote
success.
It has been we'll said that lit is not
what a man earns, but what he saves,
that makes him rich"
John Jacob Astor said that the saw
ing of the first thousand dollars cost
him the hardest struggle.
As a rule people do not know how
to save I deem it of the highest i'm
portance, therefore. to impress upon
every young man the duty of begin
ming to save from the moment he CON-
mences to earn, be it ever so little.
A young man should aim to be man.
" and self-reliant; make good use of
all the spare moments; read only
wholesome books; study to advance
his own interests as we'll as those of
his employer in every possible way.
AS rule, the young man of high
principles and fair ability, who saves
his money and keeps his habits good,
becomes valuable in any concern; but
as volumes have been written upon
this subject it is not possible in let
ter to cover it all.
By following out these suggestions,
however, aiming constantly to pre-,
pare himself for. higher place, in
stead of waiting for something to turn
up, every young man will succeed to
a more or less degree. ~s'@c>;, = \.
I would not have them believe, how
ever, that success consists solely in
the acquisition of wealth. Far from
it, as thst idea is much too prevalent
already. <*....-.. J.. ',:..s
The haste to become rich at the ex-
pense of character prevails to an
alarming extent and cannot be too Sc
verely denounced. &. I'D ,a =. -.
What is needed to-day more than
anything else is to instill in the minds
of our young the desire above all to
build up character that will win the
respect. of all with whom they NAV
come in contact, and which is vastly
more important than q great fortune.
Merchants who keep their business

spare time to the study of law, and was
eventually rewarded with a diploma.
