ABOUT TYLER SCHOOL

There Was No Need for Its
Disinfection.

Deputy Health Officer Fowler declared
that there was no reason for alarm.
The school was not disinfected. be
said because there was no need FOR
it. The oldest Harbin girl was taken
sick on April IA, and on April II nrst
developed a suspicious rash. The
schools closed for the Easter holidays
on April 20, 50 that the period of in
cubation of smallpox has long since
passed.
There was no danger of the Haroin
children communicating the disease dur
ing its early stage of development in
their sisters case and each OF them, as
taken Ill, was kept in the house. We
know nothing about them playing with
children in the neighborhood, though
we have the names of several little
ones TO keep under observation.
The Harbins' eight-months'- -old baby
developed smallpox Friday, and was
taken from the detention camp TO the
SMALLPOX hospital. The mother showed
no syrnptom of the disease, but she In
sisted in accompanying the baby to
nurse it. This makes eight of family

GEN. PATRICK A. COLLINS.

America loses majestic adopted son and his
native land jealous promoter of her national free
dom in the death of General Patrick A. Collins.
The young man of today had no better example of
the courage which overcomes obstacles than that
found in the struggles of the boy who began his
career III coal pit and carried it to the point where
his name became imperishabe i'll the history of his
country, his city and his state. That boy grew
into the mayor of Boston Patrick A. Collins.
When others were enjoying not only the advan-
tages, but also the pleasures that belong to youth
he was toiling by day and feeding his hungry mind
with knowledge by night; yet neither work nor
study neglected. The first principle of his
life was to do we'll that which he undertook to do
at all, and he was master of a trade before he was
ready to enter that broader field for which the
talents he possessed had fitted him.
Like the late President Lincoln, if we may ex-
cept the few tender years in which he had the adj
vantage of the public schools, he wrested an educa-
ton from early life of manual toll and strength
ened virile mind by profound familiarity with
judicously selected books rather than. weakened it
by omnivorous reading. This method served him
perhaps better than he knew. He might not him
self have been aware how broad and dependable
the storehouse of his information but it showed
III his extempore efforts on special occasions as well
as in his more carefully prepared addresses. His
voice was excellent for speaking; his phrasing was
direct and often fine, and it is enough to say of his
wit that it was fully worthy of his race.

PREACHERS AND PREACHING.

Forest Meditations" concluded the. series of
"after-vacation" sermons at the Unitarian church
last Sunday. Judged from the literary viewpoint,
Rev. Frank Fay Eddy's three sermons are the best
productions of elocution and word-painting deliv-
cred this season. Not an unusual admission when
reflects that the maximum of talent is found in
the Unitarian among the Protestant sects.
Having emerged from the forest himself, Rev
Eddy is inclined to drive "the editor of certain
Catholic paper into the woods. Two weeks ago
this paper mildly criticised not the language, but
the choice of his sermon for Sunday worship Such
criticism dubbed with good nature beside the note
OF warning and earnest admoniton of a Congre-
gatlonalist minister at San Francisco. The Cali
fornla clergyman, perceiving the decline of reli-
gous faith and increased immortality in society to-
day, was sorely grieved the inertness of the
Protestant pulpit 1t was this Protestant minister
and not the Catholic editor who said: ''Never was
there time when the people were more in need of
instruction in the fundamental ethical and spiritual
truths. Here is the great opportunity of the pulpit
to mold the religious thinking of the age. People
are hungry for knowledge and have sought the pull
pit for instruction" instruction in what! In ma
ture studies! No In the art of painting nature
with the choicest coloring of rhetoric! No. But
i'll the fundamental ethical and spiritual truths
found in Gods revealed Word. Clearly that is
what the Congregationalst minister meant But
Rev. Eddy ignores him and turns his attention to-
THE editor of certain Catholic paper finds in the
titles of this series of sermons an indi
cation of the general dcadence of the Protestant null
pit He seems to think gospel preaching being sacri-
hced to striving after uptodae topics and he as
serts that: The people who thirsng after Chris
tan doctrine will find the Protestant pulpit fountain
gone dry Our Catholic friend has perfect right to
his opinion but he ought to reaze that he is king
from peculiar point of view. What seems to him a
sign OF decadence appears to indication of new
pfe stirring Happily, at least so think the notes
OF broader gospel bsng sounded from the Prot
esant pulpit From the Catholic pulpit little is heard
little is ever heard The greatness of Catholicism does
not lie in the preaching ability of its priests It's great
ness is that of institution, machine an organism
The church an institution dominates its friends
that their Individuality is sacrificed But Protestant
ism has ever had preachers, men who were makers
and moulders of their various sects"
That gospel preaching is being sacrificed TO .

opinion" of the editor. 1t is fact and il was

months recently published in the Chicago Tribune

odious at the Congregational meeting at Seattle.

The Allegheny branch of the Womens Christian
Temperance Union has fired these questions point
blank at the president; did you receive sixty bot
ties of beer from brewers association, and did you
your representatives send the brewers letter of
thanks on White House stationery for the same
package, and what became of the sixty bottles of
bcer!" Pending his categorical answer to these in
terrogatons the presumptiye evidence rather favors
his innocence. In the first place, sixty bottles of
beer equals two cases and half, fact of which
the inquisitors of the W. c. T. L. may not be aware
Now, brewer association, when it acts at all gen
orally does so on liberal scale, and we cannot be-
teve that if it set out to convey complimentary
package of refreshment to the president Of the
United States, it would split case Of course, if
he did not receive the beer, the intimated CORE
spondence did not ensue, and furthermore he could
hardly say what became of the hypothetical sixty
bottles. As the w. G. T, U. magnanimously prom

from President Roosevelt: Il greatly regret that it is

exposition to be held at Madison Square Garden

play of industries of Ireland in the matter of tex

appropriate that in our country, where so large a

from Irish stock, there should be this movement

manner for the purpose of interesting the indus

The Ave Maria seems disposed to write rural
free delivery down as an agent of the temperance
cause. Observes our esteemed contemporary:
While it Is probable that the advocates of rural
free delivery of the mails did not insist upon the
moral good that would result from its adoption. #
would appear that in at least some country districts
free delivery makes for increased temperance. A
Wisconsin journal declares that before the present
system adopted the farmers who went down to
the store to get the mail usually remained to swan
gossip and incidentally do little, or even consd-
cradle, drinking. Now, it appears when the mail is
delivered at the farm the paper is read after sup
