The Philosophic or Knotty

Whenever these joints are found with comic
finger tips and soft palm the possessor is fond
OF art and poetry and all that is beautiful, and
he generally possesses the power of expressing
the same.
If when the square spatulate tips are pro-
nounced on philosophic hands the owners want
to know things. They are not content to ac-
cept facts as they are; they are skeptical They
are not orthodox in their religion, but have their

No Harm Done, But Subway Night
 Have Been Tied Up.

New York, June 10.-An attempt was made tonight to explode a bomb in manhole of the InUerDorough Rapid Transit company in front of the power house at east Seventy fourth street, which furnishes the current to the sub way.
 One man, Joseph Barstky. twenty two years old, was arrested. the police say, as he was about to light the fuse of the bomb as it lay on the manhole cover. Two companions who were with him escaped. On Barstky were found three other bombs all being Of uniform size. the shape of a baseball hut a little larger. The prisoner declared that he and his friends had found the bombs at pleasure resort and brought them home to set them off later They went in front of the power house to do this. As the power wires which pass through the manhOle, carry power for the subway the wrecking of the hole would probably have put the system out of commission for many hours

 AGNES MCCARTHY
Young Chicago Girl in Eastlake Stock
 Company.

Probably there are but few of the patrons of Eastlake park who have en- joyed the work of Miss Agnes McCar- thy, who has played the leads so far with the Eastlake Stock company, who know that the object of their admira- tion is a descendant of one of the earl jest families of Chicago She was a Chicago girl and received her educa- tion largely in the schools of that city From the earliest day she can remem- ber her inclination was for the stage and when opportunity was given her to study at a school of drama her joy knew no bounds. Then came her sue cess and the words of praise from the Chicago newspapers. One of the mo- tices printed just at the close of an engagement she played at the Bush Temple theater in Chicago is taken, from the American. It reads as fol- lows:
 "A young Chicago girl who stands preeminent as a prospective theatrical star and who has probably won more encoIniums than any celebrity of her age is Miss Agnes Mccarthy Melvin. a faYorite member of the Players Stock company at the Bush Temple theater. Though scarce out of her teens this brilliant Chicago girl has acted i'm portant roles with many leading com panies of note. For the past two years she was with Charles Frohman as un- derstudy to Julia Opp, with MT. Fav- ersham in A Royal Rival" likewise understudy to SandOl Milliken in the Bird in a Cage" Her clean cut intel ligent work has evoked universal com ment.
 Miss Melvin possesses the gifts and attributes of a natural born actress. 1.-the of frame, engaging in appear ance, and possessing all the qualities of high breeding and refinement. her enunciation and boise stamp her as a model candidate for roles of the most intricate character. She excels partic- ularly in the line of ingenue. although her impersOnations of old age and emotional roles have won her pro-

nounced recognition. Her recent DOT trayal of Ethel Stevens in "The Moth and the Flame" at the Temple theater,
 was an artistic interpretation that merited the praise of the patrons of that house of amusement, and favora- bly, Vied with her clever work as Maud
 Fretwen in Sowing the Wind" and Neil in A Guided Fool"
 Since coming to Phoenix Miss Mel
 win has added to her list of admirers.
 From the first it was seen that she
 was an actress of truly unusual ability
 and the only wonder was that the management could induce such talent
 to come into the southwest at this sea-
 son of the year. The patrons of East
 lake park always watch for her and
 are glad when she is a member of the
 cast. Her work ir the past has beer
 very heavy; in facv more than she de-
 sired to undertake so that in the fu-
 ture many of the leads will be played
 by Miss Maude Lila, a new member of
 the company, who comes from the coas;.
 The management of Eastlake Park is using eyerY effort and sparing no. expense to. strengthen the company, and their troubles seem to be over.

 After formally accepting the ap- pointment MT. Benson will leave for Washington this week to take up his seat in the senate.
 The statement today of Judge Ben son that he will stand for reelection next winter adds much interest to the Kansas senatorship, for which there have been several avowed candidates The term that Judge Benson will fill expires on March 3, 1907. A half dozen men in the state have either publicly expressed themselves as being candidates for the new term or have been prominently spoken of for the place,

Funeral of P. s. Deraaisch.

Saltwater, Mimi, Jan. 1.-THE re-
mains of P. S. Deragisch, who died at
his home in Paynesville, Jan. 9Th, of
apoplexy, were brought to this city for
interment. The funeral services took
place at st. Michaers church on the
9Th inst, and were attended by a large
number Of sorrowing relatives and
friends. Rev. Chas. Corcoran officiated
and delivered an impressive and touch
ing sermon. Mr.. Deragisch was fifty
six years of age and is a brother of
the late Jacob A. Deragisch. He is
survived by a wife, two sons and a
daughter: Jerome B., of Saltwater;
Leo j., of Paynesville. and Mrs. H.
Wolfer, Jr., also Of saltwater. He has
one surviving brother and sister, An

preston in England through Quake,

papers, and in countless books with a
wide circulation. Even If the authors
of the leaflets had been known it is
unlikely that they would have been
made amenable. However, the youths
who posted these placards were duly
committed for trial at the instance OF
the crown, and were acquitted of pub
fishing seditious libels by Belfast and
Dublin juries; the only result OF these
state trials being the wider publica-
lions in the press of these "seditious
libels.'
These government prosecutions cost
great deal, and the expenditure is
charged on Irish revenue. Crown law
yers get large fees. and no expense
is spared to secure convictions. The
Corporation of Dublin, which has to
pay for but has no control over. the
metropolitan police, has asked that
the expenditure Of the police tax shall
be audited and published as their
other accounts are. 1t appears that
within so years the amount charged
by government for the police has in
creased from 100000 to ss14,ooo,
while the: numerical increase of the
force has been only IS men. The an
swer of the government to the objec-

by the Lord Lieutenant directing the

legislators and other ofacia,s, and are

legislators and other officials, and are
in way compelled to bride them to
save themselves from blackmail. Some
of the anthracite coal miners who had
become Socialists told me they had
been influenced by their despair Of
obtaining justice from the legislature
courts and executive officers of the
state. The leaders in the Union
should insist less on the wrongs the
workingmen suffer from employers
and capitalists, and concentrate their
thoughts and efforts on the purifica-
ton of politics and more especially on
reform in municipal government. The
union can render greater and more
vital service to its members by edu-
briefly and fair dealing and honest
work than by maintaining or increas-
ing their wages.
For laborers, as for all men, right
eousness is life, and the wages Of sin
is death. Money is a curse for those
who spend it in drunkenness, debauch-
cry or riotous living. Millions can
not make life blessing for fools or
criminals. There is no nobler vocation
than to work for the welfare and i'm

are most easily made the victims Of
the INSCRIPTIONS and the playthings
Of fortune. No wise or good man can
take delight in the world as it is
now constituted. The fierce, maniacal
struggle for gold smears with blood
all that we eat and wear, but. it is
madness to believe in the shattering
Of the historic fabric of society would
bring relief. They who would make
men atheists, materialists and free
lovers, who would destroy the church,
the state and the home. would reduce
them to the conditions of savages and
brutes. The civilized people are not
going to descend this broadway to hell.
But they will not rest content with
things as they are, and they who
would save religion, art, free govern
ment, the family, all that gives to life
a spiritual content, must strive to !
make themselves good, that they may
be able to labor effectually for the re-
formation and publication of the So

The Tooth.

A tooth is a living structure. In
side Of each tooth is a cavity filled
with pulp, which gives it life. Nerves
and blood vessels connect this pulp
with the general system and circula-
ton of the body. The ivory surround
ing the pulp Is covered over by sur
face Of enamel. Both ivory and enam-
ell are harder than any other bones.
because they contain a greater guam
tity Of bone earth. Enamel on the
tops Of the teeth is one-sixteenth OF
an inch thick. It consists Of little six
sided prisms placed side by side. and
held together by an extremely fine c.
ment. The pulp Of the tooth becomes
diseased. and toothache follows. Tar
tar is a secretion made by three
glands in the mouth, full Of small
living organisms. which assimilate
matter in the saliva and deposit it on
the teeth in the shape Of phosphate
Of lime.

And They Quit.

Last Monday two subscribers-iust
th1hk OF 1t, two out Of several thou
sand-celebrated New Years day in a
singular manner. They wrote in and
peremptorily stopped the paper, says
the Syracuse, N. Y, Catholic Sun. ~
Stopped the weekly visit of a catho
lie paper to their homes! Fancy the
strength of will it took to do this!
In Imagination we. can penetrate the
intervening distance and see those two
sitting for weeks beside the family
ffreside arranging their New Year
resolutions. They gradually grow firm
IN the resolve to cut down expenses
the coming year. They say unto them
selves that times are hard and they
must. So they arrange matters this
way:
= 1. We will give less to charity.
2. We will give less to the Church.
3. We will cut off the Catholic
paper.
And during the Holy Season, while
out buying rubber dogs for Bobby
and railway trains for Tommie, and
squeaking, goggle-eyed dolls for Ma
mie. and leather-legged pianos for
Gladys. and pate de foie gras" for
Mamma, and Persian smoking gowns
for Papa, finding cash growing scarce
again they resolve and firmly vocifer-
ate as they rush home in the Deem
Der dusk: +
1. We will give less to charity!
2. We will give less to the Church.
3. We will cut off the Catholic
paper.
So the Catholic paper is cut off. It
lies dead upon the threshold, SO to
speak. The great mills roar and whis-
tie at midnight, but, SO far as these
people are concerned. the paper is done
for. They will get their Catholic news
from the great secular daily, which is
always certain to present the Church
IN a false light and feed the minds Of
their children upon un-Catholic no.
tions. Yet mark the result! AS tina
years go by they will find this taking
place:
1. That they haven't much charity
in their hearts.
2. That they have strange views of
the Church.
3. That their children don't belong
to the Church at all.
The right sort of Catholic paper
shows what the Church is doing al
round the habitable globe. To be
without it Is to be ignorant Of the ac-
tivity of God.

A Militant Editor

One Of the greatest of editors, Cath
olic editors, was Louis veuillot. He
lived in stormy times and, as happea
not infrequently found himself in an
tagonism to some prelates and priests,
who had different views of policy,
while all were loyal to their holy re-
ligion, writes James r. Randall in the
Morning Star. One famous bishop
even threatened him with excommuni-
cation, and his paper, L'Univers. was
sometimes put under ban or refused
subscription or endorsement. But he
had staunch and unwavering friend
in the sainted Plus TX, who promptly
stopped these drastic procedures.
Veuillot was fighting editor, not with
warlike weanons, but with his pen.
"mightier tt.4n the sword" He was
caustic, sarcastic, sometimes in the
wrong in matters of discipline, but
ever loyal to the Holy See and the
practice Of his religion. An admirable
account of him, personally, profession
ally and militant, has been published
In The Dolphin. The article was writ
ten by Mr.. T. L. L. feeling, and would
edify and instruct all intelligent and
jealous Catholics.
Just before his death he composed
a very touching poem in his native
language, which Mr.. feeling translates
as follows:
Place by my side my silent pen.
Upon my heart the Christ Of men,
Beneath my feet volume lay,
Then close my coffin from light of day.
When prayers have saved my soul from
loss,
Above my grave plant holy cross,
And II We raise above stone,
Write Il believed see' alone.
Murmur HE sleeps, and all is well,
His labor DER. in grave to dwell"
Or, rather, say He waketh now,
And sees what he had dreamed below.
l hope In Jesus-on this earth
I was not ashamed Of my new birth;
And at last, before the Throne,
l humbly trust He will me own.
A Catholic editor of strong convic-
tons and with martial genius has
not bed of roses in his literary ca
reer, and some of his most persistent
foes are apt to be of his own house,
hold. At the last, however, Louis
Veuillot triumphed as far as was pos
sible in his time. and. after fighting
the good fight and keeping the faith"
his crown of eternal glory was fairly
won. Would that France, today. had
in the conduct of its Catholic press a
second Louis Veuillot. God, per-
chance, will raise up a worthy success
sor to this great man and help rescue
France from the Vaccinations of the
wicked who will ultimately be driven
back ignominiously as has happened
to all who assault the Bark Of Peter.
