at is my opinion that there are many

should not be married at all, and both
license and ceremony should be with

I to each other, a fact that is plainly evil

horn OF poor and obscure parents, Be
fore his elevation to be a bishop he
had only done parish work in the
Southwark diocese and was promoted
sby right Of succession in 1895.
Francis Bourne was born at Clap-
ham. in London, In 1861, and many
stiIl remember him as a ~barefootoed
boy on Chaplain common. He got his
early education at the ecclesiastical
colleges Of st. Cuthbert, Usham and
St. Edmund's, Ware, and the College
Of st. Sulspice in Paris. He spent 9
year OF two at tho University OF Lou
vain, and returned home to be or
dained a priest in 1884.
He was assigned to several obscure
parishes, among which were Grin
stead, in Surrey, where he remained
until 1889. when he was appointed
rector Of the diocesan seminary e
Guilford, Surrey.
IN a few years he succeeded in Dulla'
ing a new college and a magnificent
chapel. At the instance Of the theE

without issue. The throne will then go
to his sister, the princess Of Asturia,
married to the son Of the count OF
Caserte. who, as Dom Carlos chief Of
staff, murdered 10000 spaniards. On
account of the hatred the Spanish peo-
pie bear the Casertes, they will never
suffer the princess Of the Asturias 10
reign. Therefore two possibilities
loom ID: The republic or the choice ola
new ruler. The republican party is dis
credited in Spain, and if it comes to
choosing a new king the ruler of Por-
tugal has the best chance, especially
when supported by Great Britain.
Spain is still fretting under the de-
feat of the late war with the United
States, the loss Of her colonies hurt her
pride, and her pocket as well. Union
with Portugal would mean the ac-
duisition Of new colonies and a new era
of glory and prosperity might be inaug-
urated under King Carlos. 1t should be
remembered that the crown Of Spain
was offered to King Louis of Portugal
before the Spaniards thought Of Anna
deus, afterwards %dethroned. At that
time Portugal was not ready to add to
her responsibilities-she had nc all
~lianees, either. Besides, King Louis
had patriotic scruples. AS a Portuguese
he refused to be crowned in Madrid.
eff Dom Carlos assumes the crown
OF Spain, the two kingdoms will be
consolidated into an empire and will
become a great power. The king has no
faith in a personal union hike that
formed by Sweden and Norway. Meth
er does he believe in a war to gain
crown. he thinks the Spanish diaden
will come to him as a matter Of peace

water supply the several streams now
ing down from the Wasatcb mountains,
streams which it must now divide with
the farmers Of the foothills. AS the ro-
suit Of Investigations now being made
ID IS expected that the government will
recommend the Utah lake project in the
near future, perhaps next year.
The problem of water supply in the
city OF Salt Lake is a very serious one
and unless it can be solved within q
reasonably short time, the city's devel-
opment will be sadly interfered with,
and that at a moment when it seems to
be entering on its most wonderful period
of growth. The city at present uses its
water supply to the full limit, and so
serious is the situation that lawns and
gardens are only allowed to use water
from the mains during n hour cut Of
each day. An addition Of 10000 to the
population would, during a dry season,
almost bring on a water famine. The
Utah lake project, therefore, is very es-
sential to Salt Lake City.
The future Of the city will hinge joint
" on agriculture and mining. The new
road which Senator Clark is building
from there to San Pedro, the ocean port
below Los Angeles, will open up to ii
mines Of great wealth. They are so rich
that prospectors hesitate to make esti-
mates. Iron, gold, silver, copper, coal
everything, in fact, needed to make
Salt Lake City a manufacturing city Of
the first importance-aFe to be found
in the most prodigal profusion along
this new line. The surface Of the sol
has only been scratched thus far. TIL,
