has been far more Iapid-fve times
more rapid, in fact--than the increase
of population. Thus. in 1894, the pro
duction of coal was 152,447,791 tons;
in 1903, ii was 3190CS.229 tons. an
increase of over 100 per cent. In
1904, the production OF pig iron was
100000 tons, in 1903. it had risen to
100000 tons, an increase OF over
1850 per cent The production Of pc

so many tokens of sympathy We're

present condition and Of our plans for
the future not unwelcome to our fei-
low citizens.
"Well-nigh half q century did the
Loretto academy and its successor eff.

The Cairo bulletin., 1904-12-06

During all the years the academy
flourished, elementary schools were
conducted and paid for by St Joseph's
church and It's anteeedent For the
current year the books show an en-
rollment Of ~ pupils. These pupils
were comfortably housed, provided
with all the necessary educational
aids and instructed by FIVE teachers
without a cent of cost to the general
taxpayer of Cairo.
Though parochial schools, they
we're really public inasmuch as every
child of Cairo could find admission un
der the same conditions. If, in the
present emergency. St Josephs
schools should close, these 172 pupils
would be thrown upon the overcrowd-
ed public schools of the city. An
additional building with four teach
ers would be necessitated. and, Of
course. an increased tax upon Cairos
citizens would be cntailod for years to
come.
st Joseph's schools will not be
closed Owing their birth TO the firm
conviction that a mere intellectual
education is an incomplete education.
that the moral nature of man must be
equally developed with his intellectu-
al capacities, that the tables Of the
Ten commandments are of even great
er Importance than the multiplication
tables, owing their permanence 10
sacrifices Of forty years duration. St
Joseph's Parochial schools win not
be abandoned ST. Joseph's congrega-
ticn viii erect, not an extravagant
but a modern. up-to-date school house.
equipped with the latest improve
ments. a credit TO the city of Cairo
and her educational facilities.
Reviewing carefully the financial
situation. we find an outlay Of 49,
600 necessary. The parish is at pres
ent indebted $1,000. owing 70 the ac-
QUESTION of the Loretto property last
year With $4,000 insurance, $4,000
would have to be raised to meet the
present emergency.
"he Pensioners of st. Joseph's
church will strain their generosity to
the utmost TO provide this building
fund At the same time they feel
assured that many one not as vital
w interested in the project as them
selves. would gladly contribute to
rich a worthy cause. if an invitation
we're extended.
We herewith tender you such an
invitation We do not bold ont onr
hand for charity. but If You think that
the Loretto academy has well de
served Of Cairo; If YOU think that a

MAKE THEM WALK.

II seems that the trouble of the
Mississippi steamboats, with the
roustabouts which has prevailed at
Memphis and other lower river points
all fall causing a serious handicap to
river commerce, has reached Cairo.
The deck hands here are refusing to
work for SIS per month, and in some
cases, 1t is said. $780, and, as a conse-
quence, one Of the steamers in local
trade going out from Cairo had diff

OF course, this Is a free country,
and there is no law to make a person
work for $3.50 per day But there is
4 law that says every man must
work, or have a visible means of sup

only thing to do is a rigid enforce
ment OF that law. Let the city au-
thorities take care TO screw the law
down tight and il will go far toward
solving the problem with the roust

BIG ADVERTISING CONTRACT.

On yesterday Mr.. VIM J Johnston
of the Woodward Hardware company
contracted with Mr. Clyde Sullivan.
business manager Of The Bulletin, for
10 900 inches OF advertising space for
1905. This is the second time within
one week that so large a contract for
space has been made and indicates
that at any time even this record may
be broken and that some of our mer.
chants will see it TO their advantage
to make even a larger one. IL is graf
flying to The Bulletin that so pro-
gressive a concern as the Woodward
Hardware company feet warranted in
making a contract of this magnitude
and it feels that at its completion a
year hence its patron will be gratified
at results.
