MASCAGNI Is
UNDER AIRES

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Mascagni, the
Italian composer, who abandoned his
American trip while playing in Chica-
go last week, was arrested last night
on a charge of embezzlement by his
former manager, Richard Heard.
When Mascagni decided to return to
Italy, he had no further use for an
American manager and discharged
him. Heard claims his contract called
for $4,000 and he tried to collect that
amount. Nascagni refused to pay
Heard any such sum and the arrest
followed. Mascagni was allowed to
remain at the hotel, where he is liv-
ing, the house detectives agreeing to
be responsible for his appearance in
court.

After a short period of plain sailing
another obstreperous word blocks the
way. She painfully constructs an ex-
PLANTATION in Tagalog. 1t is a good SEN
tence and would have passed anywhere
in the United States, but these benight-
ed children fatty refused to understand
their own language.
But the fame of that teacher as a
linguist, sign-talker and contortionist
spread like the cholera. All the chill
dren of the city wanted to see the free
show and the school was crowded every
day of the week. A circus, just at that
time, would not have made expenses.
This whole business is, of course. a
pitiful farce, and the F'ilipinos will sub
side into their natural ways when the
novelty of the American ways has worn
on. Our occupation by the Philippines
has certainly created conditions which
demand different educational system
there. Whether it will be also a better
one remains to be seen. One bad step
has already been taken.
The attempt to change the language
of 100000 people of a foreign race is
the product either of besotted devotion
or of corrupt scheming to place on the
shoulders of that devoted people the
maintenance of numerous fat but su-
perf1uous offices. No nation has ever
succeeded in doing this, and it will be
a waste of time, energy and money to
us to undertake it.

My Dear Sir-Replying to your favor
asking my approval OF The Intermountaln

diocese, 1 will state that l consider the
founding of 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 opportune time. It's 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 d
perpetual mission in a parish" and that
IT viii serve as a question box, at all
times for anxious inquirers. 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 gem
erous founder of The Intermountain
Catholic. Yours sincerely,

The Western Waterman says: I'VE
notice that many Of our Catholic pa
pers are stoutly defending the right of
a polygamist to a seat in the United
States senate" Now we don't like to
say any harsh things of our st. Louis
brother, but we think his impeach-
ment of the Catholic papers is, as say
the lawyers, irrelevant and immaterial.
We think it is he who is making use
of the "argumentum ad captandum" at
the expense of his brothers in the chair.
No Catholic paper ever advocated the
right of a polygamist to seat in
the United States senate. True, they
defended the right of Reed Smoot, the
Mormon apostle, to such a seat, but
Reed Smoot is not only not a polyg-
amist, but it is not so clear that he
even believes in it. Has not the Nor
mon ''seer" long since had revela-
ton to the effect that polygamy is
abrogated, and do not the Mormons
"blindly'' accept and follow the reve-
lations of their seers? Our friend has
evidently fallen into the common err
ror of taking Mormonism and polyga-
my as being mutually inclusive, but for
his enlightenment we will inform him
that polygamy is no more distinctive
or differentiating doctrine of Mormon
ism than the millennium" is of Cathol-

New Light On Manila Schools.
(Communicated.)

When the American public school
system was established in the Philip
pines the school authorities were as
tonished and delighted to see the in
terest in their schools shown by the
natives. What was considered mex
plicable in this sudden thirst for knowl-
edge and constantly increasing attend
ance was the preference of the Fill
ipinos for the schools where English
was taught by American women. The
natives were believed to be a lazy set
and were carefully so described in
every official report to Washington.
Why then they should elect to tackle
difficult foreign language was a puz-
zle, especially when schools were avail
able in which English was not required.
The American school system certainly
does not possess inherently the anti
toxin for the extirpation of the germs
of laziness; neither can it create, even
before being tried, the abnormal thirst
for knowledge which the Filipinos were
seemingly exhibiting. Recent informa-
ton from Manila would seem to offer
at least a partial explanation of this
paradoXical situation.
Let us follow the teacher into the
school room: With 125 Tagalog words
at her command she begins operations.
She addresses the class in carefully
prepared speech which completely ex-
hausts her vocabulary. The children
look edited, but had not understood a
word. In the first English lesson oc-
ours some word of which she does not
know the Tagalog equivalent, and
which she attempts to explain by a
gesture. The unresponsive stare of the
class indicates failure. She tries the
deaf and dumb language with the same
result and in desperation resorts to a
grimace. When she sees that the chill
dren are becoming red in the face from
suppressed emotion she gives it up.

Denomination for both. The list is
both interesting and instructive.
To head the list we have: Servants,
1888, 1853; agricultural laborers, 663, 2O9;
farmers and planters, 3O7,7O6; dress
makers, 344,794; laundresses, 1886, 2S2;
traders, 327,614: textile workers, 277, 972.
There are 1878 women clergymen; 1O41
architects; 7S6 dentists; 2,193 journal
lists; 1,O1O lawyers; 1887 physicians, and
IA women veterinary surgeons"
The United States has not employed
their services to fight for their coun-
try either on land or sea, yet there are
153 women employed as "boatmen' and
sailors. Women have not yet invaded
the ranks of the city fire departments,
still not less than S79 women are re-
turned in the same general class of
"watchmen, policemen, and detectives.
There are no women street car driv-
ers, though there are two women mo
tormen" and Is women conductors.
They have not as yet taken up the en-
ployment of telegraph and telephone
line men," yet 22,556 of them are oper-
ators for these companies. There are
no women apprentices and helpers
among the roofers and skaters, yet two
women are returned as engaged in
these employments. There are 126 wom-
en- plumbers; 45 plasterers; 167 brick
and stone masons; 241 paperhangers;
1859 painters and glaciers, and 545
women carpenters and joiners. No
women are returned as helpers to
steam boilermakers, but women work
at this industry as full mechanics.
There are 1873 women blacksmiths; 81
machinists; 1870 women workers in
iron and steel: $50 in brass, and 1,775
women workers in tin"
Among other unusual women work
ers are 100 'lumbermen and raftsmen;"
113 wood choppers; S73 sawmill en-
ployes; 44O bartenders; 2,OS6 saloon
keepers; 9O4 "draymen" and teamsters;
1928 undertakers; 143 stone cutters: 6S
"quarrymen;" 65 whitewashers; II well
borers, and III stationary engineers and
firemen.'
The number employed as BARRIERS is
not given, but the writer can assure his
readers that as tonsorial artists he
found but few who could WELD the
razor with greater deXterity than

Education and Religion.

THE DISPATCHES of last Sunday
stated that in Chicago a move
ment was being made among the
different ministers of religion to de-
wise some means of introducing a re-
ligious training in our schools for the
rising generation. They have learned
from experience the effects of mere
secular education, that instead of
stemming the tide of infidelity, indiffer-
ence to religious thought, and, its
natural outgrowth, agnosticism, it
aids their growth. These are spread

BOOK REVIEWS.

Miss Agnes Grace Weld was fortunate
in selecting the right sort of uncle, for
she has found in him a theme for a
/ very fresh and attractive book. Her
uncle was Tennyson, who moves
through the pages much more gra-
cious, conservative and religious fig
ure than he has usually been made
to appear. Miss Weld was evidently
a favorfte with the poet. with whom
| she took long walks in the country

| ing affectionately. Of these walks Miss
! Weld writes as follows:
| Nothing that others ever spoke to
me, and nothing l ever read, even in
! the pages of the Bible, ever made the
+ impression upon me that his words
and manner did when he would say to
me, in exactly the same natural way
as child would express his delight at
his father making him his companion:
| God is with US now on this down, as
we two are walking together, just as
truly as Christ was with the two dis
! ciples on the way to Emmaus; we can
not see Him, but He. the Father and
the Saviour and the Spirit are nearer
perhaps now than then to those who
are not afraid to believe the words
of the Apostles about the actual and
real presence of God and His Christ
with all who yearn for it." [ said L
thought such near actual presence
would be awful to most people. Sure
1y the love of God takes away and
makes us forget all our fear" he an
swered. at should be sorely afraid to
live my life without Gods presence;
but to feel He is by my side now just
as much as you are, that is the joy
of my heart"
There is also this pleasant reference
to the attractive youth whose untimely
death evoked "In Memoriam," the
noblest elegy in literature: Gin after
years he would frequently talk to me
about the friends of his youth especial
ly Arthur Hallam, of whom he spoke
as one who had died but Yesterday.
He used to dwell much upon his stain
less purity and absolute truthfulness:
and this it was which made my uncle
feel that the lessons of perfect purity
and of utter truthfulness which he
strove to teach in the whole cycle of
the Tdylls of the King were not i'm
possible to be put into practice by
the sons of men" A glorious tribute,

The city seems to be completely rid
Of footpads since last weeks tragedy
in which a few notorious desperadoes
were felled by the hand of justice and
bravery. The city owes it's present
peace and quiet to the phenomenal
courage of an officer and a citizen,
single-handed and alone. If every Of
ficer and every citizen in similar cir
cumstances would display similar cour-
age, footpads would be rare birds and
belated pedestrians would go their way
in safety. Far be it from us, however,
to advise individual citizens to such
display of bravery and resistance, for
these thugs mean business and will
stop at nothing to make a success of
it. With the officers it may be differ
ent, for such resistance and display of
bravery on their part is not only
privilege, but also a duty.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a
perpetual mission. Let all 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.
