Catholic influence in PRISON Reform.

Catholic Influence in Prison Reform.
Mrs. Florence Garrettson Spooner. an
Episcopalian, known and loved many
years in Massachusetts for. her personal
service among the inmates of penal in
stitutions, contributes to the columns
of the Republic of Boston, what Cath
olics must regard as a striking plea
from a significant source.
Il believe" writes Mrs. Garrettsen,
the reform work in our public insttu-
tions could be made substantially more
effective if some measure could be de-
vised by which the Roman Cations
clergy would have a larger and more
pervasive influence in the lives of pris-
oners of their own faith. 1t has i'm
pressed on my mind the marvellous re-
form that priests carry to their patients
afflicted with sin (misfortune), and
there should be provision made whereby
their religious instruction might lead
to some practical result. How is this
possible with officers stationed every
where and clergy conspicuously alb
Sent?''

What Prince of Peace! Keeper of
Peters Key!
Age and eternal youth are met in thee.
Serene and strong, above the worlds
renown,
Fleet days pursue thee only with a

No parley hast thou with unmanly

Truths ways are thine; and though

False kings and kingdoms rise and
reign and fall,
Great Prince of Peace, thou wilt sur
mount them all!

st. Edwards college at Austin, Tex,
one of the leading educational insti-
tutions of the south, was destroyed by
fire on Holy Thursday. The magnificent
four story building which crowned a
gentle eminence three miles south of
Austin, is now mass of ruins. The
chapel, with its sacred vessels and
costly vestments is almost a total loss.
Gone up into smoke is library of 5000
volumes that represented years of labor
and accumulation on the part of the
college authorities. Valued at about
$4,000, it is a total loss, not book
being saved. Father Illig, one of the
professors, had a private library valued
at $780, which was also completely
destroyed. The total loss is not less
than $4,000, with only $4,000 insur
ance.
st. Edwards college was founded
early in the '7Os and was the property
of the Congregation of the Holy Cross,
of Notre Dame, Ind. 1t will be rebuilt
at once.
Every evening for 262 years the bells
of the mission of San Miguel. in Santa
Fe, n. M, have pealed forth the an
gelus. The mission of San Miguel, es-
tablished by the Spanish Jesuits in
1640. is the oldest church in the United
States. 1t was built of sun-dried bricks,
or adobe, and has stood the test of
time for nearly three centuries in the
second oldest city of the United States.
But old as it is, San Miguel is young
beside other buildings near it. Only
a stones throw away is what is said
to be the oldest house in the new world
built in 1888, and a Spanish castle built
in 1851, S21 years ago. The house is
still used and it was in a room of the
castle that General Lew Wallace wrote
Ben Hur." He was then in command
of Fort Mercy. The castle that wit
messed the rule of the Spanish con-
quistadores is still habitable.

"VerY High Church"

mountain near Garrison, n. Y, is to
be hauled before Rt. Rev. Leighton
Coleman, bishop of Delaware, to whose
diocese he belongs, to answer the
charge of conducting propaganda de-
signed to lead Episcopalians to ac-
knowledge the supremacy of the pope
of Rome.
AN ODD VIEW.
For some time the Episcopal church
has been startled by a publication
called The Lamp, which argued vehem-
emily for the calling of a general coun-
ell of the Catholic churches, in whlch
the Episcopal church should have part,
and the outcome of which should be
the submission of the latter body to
Rome.
High churchmen, or ritualists, as they
are called, found that the course of this
monk" was hurting their cause by
arousing prejudice against their move
ment, which, they say, is diametrlcaIly
opposed to the express designs of ia
ther Francis" and they have asked
Bishop Coleman, himself a high church
man, to bring the priest to trial Tor
subverting the doctrines of the Eplsco-
pal church.
This Father Francis as he prefers
to be known. is a Rev. Mr.. Watson,
who was formerly in charge OF
church at Kingston, N. Y. From there
he went to Omaha to have charge Oh
an associate mission in which a num-
Der of young clergymen We're engaged

BECOMES A MONK.
He gave up that work because OF
disagreements with Rev. Irving Peakee
Johnson, also a high churchman, ana
chief worker in the mission, who ac-
cused Mr.. Watson of upsetting the
work by too ardent admiration of the
Catholic church.
Mr.. Watson then applied for admis-
sion to the Order of the Holy Cross,
long established monastic community,
in which Rev j. o. S. Huntington is
prominent. He did not tarry long IN
their monastery at Westminster, ND,
but set out to found an idea of his
own.
He took monastic VOWS and ,estah-
Hshed small monastery near Garri-
son, with a convent near by under mis-
sister as mother superior, and he re
mained technically clergyman of the
diocese of Delaware, to which he at
tached himself, after he left the west,
A similar movement, under the tltle
of the Order of Corporate Reunion,
was started in England about twenty
years ago and came to speedy grlef
at the hands of the high churchmen.

wheat to Liverpool or Antwerp twenty
years ago and now. and 1t will be found
that the fall in the price of wheat from

Cahokia, 1t Is laid out in an exact north
and south line, thus proving that the
builders had a working knowledge of the
cardinal points of the compass. Its height
is about 100 feet and 1t covers something
over thirteen and three-quarters acres. TO
include Cahokia and some of the nearer
mounds would require a park of some
twenty-five acres, while to include the en-.
tire g~roup-whose name, by the way, is in
memory of the Indian tribe, now extinct,
that occupied the region when the mounds
were discovered-would require seventy
five or more acres. Part of this land has
never been cultivated, but the larger part
has been turned to agricultural purposes
during the last century and many Of the
mounds have from time to time been hid
den under waving fields of corn and wheat
"a process, unfortunately, that has been
to wear away the mounds about
four inches yearly. Recently, moreover,
an electric car line has been laid out along
an old country road that passes close to
Cahoda and an effort has already been
made by certain enterprising persons to
construct an artificial lake at it's base, run
a ''chute-the-chutes'' incline along its
sides, and crown its summit with a beer
garden. 1t is 40 wonder, therefore, that
everybody directly interested in the past
history of the continent is feeling more or
less impelled to an active campaign for
the preservation of ~Cahokia-just as the
famous Serpent mound in Ohio was pre-
served a number OF years ago by the ac-
ton, first, of the Peabody museum, and
afterwards of the state of O~hio-together

and with. all the new light upon her phys
ical care and condition, she can easily
look as young as she feels.
Nowadays, IL women grow stout and
clumsy, or thin and faded at an early age,
it is not of necessity. but from Indifference
to the laws of health.
If people were careful to observe all
laws of health in regard to exercise and
diet, the natural age of man would perhaps
be from 40 to 40 years, and his
best working years would be from so to
100. and women would be in their prime and
at the age of greatest loneliness at 60.
Ancient sculpture abounds in examples
of mature womanhoOd. Venus dc Milo is
evidently a woman of 30. All the Junos,
Minervas, Venuses, Melpomenes and many
Madonnas are mature women.

A woman is actually young at rs. and

Really, there is no year of a woman's
life, no ten years, in which you can
definitely demand that she should cease
to be young. There are some women who
probably will never cease to be young at
moments and under certain circumstances.

youth? Is IT physical simply? OF course.
clear eyes and skin, round, firm outlines
and freshness of lips and cheek are lovely,
but not all young girls possess them.
Is It manners? There is a charm about
the half timid, yet well trained manner of
an ingenious girl, but the gracious tact
that comes only by experience, the self
poise that knows just what to say and do
and leave undone, possesses even greater
charm.
And surely It is not the intellect and
the conversational power OF youth to which
people so lovingly cling. The crude ideas,
the impossible theories, the misplaced
credulity or the sweeping iconoclasm-are
these the conditions of mental develop
ment in which women would remain?
What then? In spite of the reason one

that long standing case Of cancer was
cured by radium rays at the clinic OF the
late Professor Gussenbauer.
The patient. who was 81 years of age.
had long suffered from cancer Of the palate
and lip. and had repeatedly been operated
on fruitlessiy.
In the autumn of 1902. when the physici-
ans of the Viennese Hospital declared 1t
was absolutely useless to operate again,
one physician determined, as last resort
TO try rad!um rays. and treated the af-
tlcted parts by exposing them to the light
of radium bromide. the strongest radium
preparation in existence. He was reward
ed by gradual and complete disappear

Physicians at the same meeting reported
that radium rays had cured a case of

several cases Of red mole.
