FOOT And MOUTH DISEASE
BULLS FROM INDIANA AFFLICTED
WITH THE PLAGUE.

bly, Become Diseased while on
Wool-Carrying Ship.

WASHINGTON, June IA matter of a
good deal of Importance has come to the
attention of the Department of Agriculture
shipment of bulls for breeding purposes
has recently gone from Indiana to Argen-
tina, in South America They developed
the foot and mouth disease when they got
there. Nothing of this kind exists in Indi-
ana nor anywhere along the line of travel
to New York, from which port the animals
were shipped. They unquestionably con-
tracted the disease on board the vessel. that
has been bringing wool from Argentina to
the United States. The department has re-
liable information that the foot and mouth
disease not only exists now in Argentina,
but has existed there for a considerable
time. Sheep just liable to this dis
ease as cattle. The question presented to
the department is whether il will stop t.e
importation of wool from Argentina and
such other countries as have foot and
mouth disease. The department will make
careful inquiry into this subject. Two
propositions are these: Shutting out wool
from these countries altogether; the other
is the possibility Of disinfecting at our own
ports.
IL exhaustive inquiry into the countries
from which hides come shows that We are
in grave danger of getting foot and mouth
disease from these countries, one or two
things will be Imperative. nameiy-that the
importation be stopped or that such disin-
fection be had as will prevent the possibil-
tty Of our getting this disease.

Irish Character.

TEw, IF ANY, great personages aft
er long lapse of time arouse the
fervor and enthusiasm that marks
the celebration of st. Patricks death
Wherever the English language is
spoken the green is seen to recall the
memory of one who passed to his re-
ward.
The race that preserved, perpetuated
and transplanted the memory of it's
patron saint for so many centuries and
in so many countries must be a peculiar
race, with distinctive features of their
own. They possess not only a great
power of expansion, but also that of
assimilation. II is noteworthy that in
all the invasions which took place,
whether by the Danes or Anglo Nor
mans, that the invaders were ieither
driven out, or after a few generations
became absorbed in the population, and
were as patriotic as the original inhab-
itants.
To the apostolic labors of st. Pat
rick but little opposition was of.
fered In the thirty-two years of his
missionary labors he accomplished
more than was effected in the Roman
empire in 500 years. This was owing
to a higher order of civilization which
they possessed, and which was more n
harmony with the Christian truths than
that of the old Roman civilization.
Their order was the patriarchal, which
was preserved by the Hebrew people
till the coming of Christ. 1t was an
older type than the Roman, which
sprung into existence after the Gentiles
separated themselves from the syna-
gogue. and which meant a sordid greed
for wealth and selfishness. In other
words, it meant opposition to Christian
truths and practices.
The Irish character is naturally gay
generous. and because of its physi-
cal vigor and power of endurance

The concert given on ST. Patrick's
eve at the Salt Lake theatre for the
benefit of st. AIMS orphanage was a
huge success in every sense of the
term. The Theatre was well filled, and
every man and woman went home that
night pleased for having come. The
children, from the tiniest tot to the
young lady in her teens, and, indeed,
all who took part in the programme
acquitted themselves of their respective
parts with honor. Credit to whom
credit is due" and to Miss Nora Glea-
son belongs the credit of making the
entertainment the success it was. She
not only trained those children to
sing and speak and act their little
parts, but she direuted and managed
the whole performance down to its very
staging" and we all give evidence
that the whole thing went off without
hitch. Miss Gleason can work Won
ders with her children, but to none but
herself and the Seer of all good things
alone are known the labor and pains
and patience it must have cost her.
And for it all she asks no reward
but this: 10 see the Lords own little
ones" at the home enjoy the cheer and
happiness which always follow in the
wake of plenty and prosperity.
