The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1904-09-03
Told of Lord Ross.
louisville Courier-Journal.


They had been talking about English
men of title who took up useful work.
Somebody mentioned Lord Ross. who IS
good. practical engineer. and then some
BODY else told this story: 80
Lord Ross having -once-unkno"n 70

havior. -, M, a.

CATHOLIC ADVERTISING.

Catholics who desire to contribute
their full share to the success of Cath
Ollie journalism should patronize those
business firms whose advertisements
appear in their Catholic paper. And
they should make it known that this
is one of the considerations of their
trading. 1t may be put down as rule
that the houses which do not advertise
in your Catholic paper are unfriendly
TO it.
Catholics as q rule are not aware Of
this fact, but it is true nevertheless.
The business principle upon which
these firms work is that they will get
your trade anyway. They want your
mnoey, but they have no use or respect
for your Catholic paper. And they
openly say SO, and they do not seem to
care who knows it. Yet they would
not have their names found in the
Catholic paper coupled with the state
ment That, they admit, would ruin
their. trade.
Why then, should Catholics contrib
ute to them financially? Why should
Catholics allow themselves to be hood
winked by people with such r. narrow
business policy? Why should they sub
NIT to be treated as if they were a lot
of boobies who knew no better? If
business men of this stripe have no re-
spect for your religious papers, how can
they have it for your religious opin-
ions? But it is your money they want.
They are afraid Of opinions.
The fact that a firm does not adYer-
tise in your Catholic paper is q guaran
tee that it considers your patronage
worth the having. It is guarantee
that it believes you a desirable Gus
toner and is willing TO patronize your
paper to secure you. Such people are
worthy of your patronage and you
should always sean your paper TO see
who they. are. If you have money ito
spend they are the people who should
have the first call OH it.--EXctange.

A LANDSLIDE.
Such as Occurred in 1892 is Not I'M

shington Cor. Baltimore SUM

washington Cor. Baltimore Sun-l
The issues presented in this campaign
appear quite as likely to produce q land
slide as did those of 1892. The condition
o. the two parties seems even more faNor-
able to such a result. Elections are geneI-
ally determined by the independent vote;
in 1880 Alr. Bryan would have been. elected
ii, added to the vote he got, he had Sc
cured the support of either the indepen-
dent or gold Democrats.
rere is no reason 10 believe that Judge
Parker will lose any great pjroporuon OF
the vote cast for Bryan, and there is tue
best of reasons for expecting him TO NAY E

the independents. who believe IN common

HoNoRED By THE POPE.
His Holiness Selects the Weber Piano
for His Personal Use.

lot bis F6ISOudl Use.
Catholics in this country will be in
terested in special mark of distinc-
ton just granted by the pope to an
American firm of manufacturers. The
Weber Piano company, whose factory
and main warerooms are located in
New York, has just received a warrant
announcing that his holiness has Off
cially selected the Weber as the instru-
ment for his personal use and in the
apostolic palaces. The document spe-
officially states that the Weber COM
pany shall have authority to use in
the shield of the manufacturers the
arms of his holiness, - a most unusual
honor.
The pope's encyclical letters on
church music and particularly the
Gregorian chant have attracted wide
spread attention. 1t is not so general
~ known that besides being a pro-
found student of music he is also an
accomplished pianist. His favorite rec
reation is the playing of duets on the
piano with Perosi, the well known
composer of oratorios and church mu-
sic and chantmaster at the vatican.
His holiness is, therefore, a good judge
of musical quality, and in giving the
Weber preference over all the great
pianos of Europe he has conferred an
honor of the highest Importance not
only upon the manufacturers of the
instrument but upon Americans gem
orally.
The appointment by Plus y is spe-
cially notable. following so. closely as it
does the royal appointment by Alfonso
XIII of Spain also to the Weber piano.
1t is evident that this instrument, for
fifty years an art standard in the
United States, has d brilliant career
ahead of it abroad, even in the very
centers of music and art.-New York

overturned the buggy, pitching the oc-
cupants out and breaking the vehicle.
The daughter escaped uninjured, but
Mrs. Sullivan was thrown upon her
head and received several scalp wounds
