SOME CHURCH HISTORY.

The present ST. Andrews church,
a handsome brick structure, was
erected by Father N. A. Thill in
1875. The interior decorations and
furnishings of St. Andrews church
are strikingly handsome, the altar
put in by Father Salick costing
$1,000, and the organ which was
bought during Father Grobschmidt's
pastorate costing $500. The church
covers an area of 95x50 feet, aside
from the towers which extend
from IL to IA feet beyond the main
building. The new schoolhouse,
which has just been completed, is
also of brick, two stories high, and
occupies space of 80x32 feet, cost
ing in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The st. Andrews congregation
has a free parochial school with an
enrolment Of $50 pupils. Three
sisters of st. Francis, whose mother
house is at Alverno, near Manitowoc,
Wis, conduct the school. All the
common branches, Christian doc
trine, Bible history, reading, writ
ing arithmetic, spelling, geography,
United States history, physiology,
also drawing, are taught. German
reading and writing is taught, and
also Christian doctrine, both English
and German. School Term First
Monday in September to last Fri
day in June.
The present congregation of ST.
Andrews numbers one hundred and
sixty families about 480 souls.
Father Peter Pape, present Rector
of ST. Andrews Congregation, was
Z born at Springfield Corners, Wis,
Feb. IA, 1866. After acquiring an
ordinary education he entered the
seminary of.St. Francis, Milwaukee,
when he was ordained to the priest
hood on June %, 1890. He was first
stationed at Kenosha, where he
remained for two years, after which
he was pastor at Richfeld for two
years and eight months. On April
"a, 1895, he removed to Potosi. He
also supplies St. Thomas church in
the village Of Potosi, which for
some years past has been mis-
sion of St. Andrews. The present
st. Thomas church was built in
1847, at a cost of 81, 900, and was
remodeled three years ago at con-
siderable expense.

Swamp-Root is the great discovery OF
DIR. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and blad-
der specialist. Hospitals use it with won
derful success in both slight and severe
cases. Doctors recommend it to their
patients and use it in their own families,
because they recognize in Swamp-Root the
greatest and most successful remedy.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
for sale at drug stores the world over in
bottles of two sizes and two prices-fifty
cents and one dollar. Remember the

visitor to the quarters where JOY Is
lifes unknown quantity.
Nevertheless, Toxic and other cities
have their social purgatories, their
Sargasso seas of living, breathing
wreck and drift. In Toxic not fewer
than 100000 people seldom, If ever,
know OF certainty where the necessi-
ties of the next day will come from,
and throughout the land the great
majority are too poor to eat rice. The
high-grade rice grown in the islands
is exported almost to the last sack,
and inferior rice imported for those
who can afford it. Rice is not in
every bowl, as the tourists fondly
imagine.
Let us proceed to Darkest Toxic.
We will visit the Shitaya quarter,
which is close to the beautiful Uyeno
Park.
Toxic is so vast; it Is such an i'm
mense sea of sheds, that from the
highest point on the clearest day one
can see but fraction of it's area
but here are fifteen districts of mean
streets. The crazy structures called
houses, which are in reality sheds, are
strung along in a series of dilapidated
and filthy compartments. To folk as
poor as those who live here, cleanli-
ness, so dear to the average Japanese
that it is above goodness, is out Of
the question.
The walls are decayed and full of
crevices and cracks, the roof leaks,
and there are moss and broken tiles,
the shoji are full of holes or patched
with newspapers, the mats are ragged,
dirty and moldy. There is foul water
in the streets and still fouler stencil
in the air, whose source is often Wis
ible to the eye. Frequently one sees
dead rats in the roadway, but for
fear of the plague they are quickly
made away with. After coming from
the daintiness and delightful artistry
of well-to-do Toxic, Shitaya is the
abomination of desolation.
The most tumble-down of these
abodes may be rented for from 20 to
SO cents per month. but there are
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-05-06

his precious brass pipe, his hibachi
or his few poor garments not in actual
use. With the money he would have
purchased fish entrails or the offal
from horses used for food, and per
haps a handful of scraps from gar
bage barrel. With these he would
have Toasted with his family, and with
them prayed that providence would
give him a better day tomorrow, Sc
that he might reclaim his goods.
The-pawnbrokers fatten off these
wretches as in no other land. 1t is
impossible to escape them, and they
never relent. Anything that costs
above five cents can be pawned.
Until this time of the year, or even
until midwinter, one can exist in Shi
taya without bed clothing, but when
the nights get cold, with the fearful
piercing frost of a Japanese winter
some covering must be had. Now ap
pears another pIunderer Of the poor in
the guise of the capitalist who rents
quilts by the night. He charges, and
invariably collects, from one farthine
for shred of dirty, patched old rag
to a cent or even two cents for &
foul, but heavy, covering. Then, too
there are frayed silk quilts for bridal
couples, but these are too costly to
be rented by many bridegrooms.
Rent. must be paid in advance, and
before the family go to sleep the col
lector comes and gets either the mon
ey or the quilt. With refinement OF
cruelty he does not appear until the
lessee has turned in. and the loss OF
his covering will be doubly felt. There
are heartrending scenes when penni-
less mothers strive to hold the quilt
to protect their babes from the chill
and the damp. Like the pawn-broker
and the money-lender, the Quilt-lender
is flinty-hearted.
Nothing that was ever edible can
become too bad for the very poor to
use. From this and similar quarters
the scavengers go forth daily search
ing for food, and they rake the city
as with a comb. Back they come at
night laden with bad rice, decayed
