BIG COLLECTION
FOR UNIVERSITY
Amount Raised Much More
Than Last Year
MAY RELIEVE THE STRAIN
Unofficial Returns Show That Catholics
Have Given About 100000 to
Their Institution.

From unofficial returns already re-
Ceived relative 10 the collection taken
up throughout the country last Sunday
for the aid of the Catholic University, it
Is believed the contribution will be
greatly ina excess of that made one year
ago, when the Catholic Church in the
United States was first called upon 10
assist the university.
While nothing definite as 10 the total
amount Of the collection can be learned
it is said everything points TO a gener-
Gus response by the church 20 the call
issued by the board of trustees of the
university. Churchmen IN Washington
believe the contribution Will bee fully
three times that made twelve months
ago, when $105.OOO was collected.
Based On Unofficial Reports.
This optimistic view is based on a
few unofficial reports received from va
rious dioceses in which IL is shown that
the subscriptions for the relief Of the
university have been liberal in the eX-
treme. In the East and West the col
lectious have been far i'm excess Of what
was expected. and while no official re-
turns have been received from the
country Will string along in the same
manner
II is understood that the average in
crease in each Of the seyeuty-tive dio-
ceses over the amount taken last year
will be from 1900 10 $1,000. This would
bring the total collection up 20 about
$500 OO0 a sum sufficient 10 relieve the
university Of its present strained fuan-
cial condition. due 10 the failure Cf its
former treasurer, Thomas T.. Wagga-
IL is directly due 10 the financial ad-
versities with which the university has
met in the past year that the church Is
uroyiug so liberal in its response 10 the
No reference 10 the Waggdmdn crash
was made in the statement issued by
The board after its recent meeting here
but the affair has been given publicity
throughout the country, ana IS Known
60 everyone.
An Indication OF what may be- expect
ed from other sources iS given ia the
announcement that the Diocese of Mary
land has contributed several thousand
dollars more 10 the support of the uni
versity than was taken up in that State
year ago.
In Washington the collection. has been
especially heavy, and Will be largely in
creased when the contribution of ST.
Patrick's parish H. added. Owing 20 the
recent anniversary celebration at 81
Patricks DT. Stafford, the rector. post
pCned the university collection for two
weeks Last year the collection taken
mp at ST PutTiCk's was the largest of
any single parish In the country
With the large contributions which
have poured in upon the university since
its financial losses became known and
the collection taken up last Sunday. the
institution Is unlikely 20 suffer during
the coming year.

ran parallel with the iron fence near the
south gate Of the Soldiers Home. which
was also badly warped and damaged By
the flames.
Starting at the east end and center
OF the shed simultaneously. the fire
quickly destroyed the frame structure,
which has tar paper roof. The flames

Our Only Nonentity.

The Vice. President is the only Off
cial nonentity in our system of govern
ment. He is elected for four years to
loaf around the throne and wonder
what is going to happen. Incidentally
he presides over the Senate when in
session If he feels like it. but is not
member of that body, and has no speak
ing acquaintance with any subject be-
fore it. The Senate makes its own
rules and construes them, and the Vice
President is presumed to commit this
fact to memory. He has no patronage,
no voice in public affairs, no seat at
the council table-no push nor pull any
where in the scheme of government
but is like a second husband agreed on
in advance and held in suspense and
suspicion, who as matter OF taste must
not obtrude himself upon the marriage
feast nor the bride tour. His business
is to keep STILL He is the great Amer
lean clam, and is held in escrow pend
ing conditions which it is hoped will
never occur to make him shuck himself
and come out in the open. Though he
be man of parts, his political position
is triumph Of nonentity. Adam
Bede, in Leslie's Monthly.

How to Walk

There is no virtue in a dawdling
saunter. The slow and languid drag
ging one foot after the other, which
some people call walking, would tire
an athlete; it utterly exhausts a weak
person, and that is the reason Why
many delicate persons think they can
not walk. To derive any benefit from
the exercise it is necessary to walk with
a light, elastic step, which swings the
weight Of the body SO easily from one
leg to the other that its weight is not
felt, and which produces a healthy
glow, showing that the sluggish blood
is stirred to action in the most remote
vein. The Family Doctor.

Number of People at st. Louis EXPOSE
ton During First Two Weeks Of
August Totals More Than En-
tire Month Of May.

st. Louis, Aug. 15.--From all direc-
lions the tide of travel now points to
the Worlds Fair. and the constantly
increasing number of admissions en-
courages the Exposition management
to believe that the attendance figures
will be up to their most hopeful esti-
mate before the gates are closed on
December /.
Sufficient evidence of the growing
popularity of the Worlds Fair is pre-
sented in the statement that the at
tendance for June was more than
double that for May. and that the num-
Der OF admissions in July was nearly
a quarter of a million in excess Of the
figures for the month proceeding. On
August the number of admissions
needed only few to equal that for the
first full week of the exposition, and
the attendance for the first week of
