WHEN A YOUNG LADY RESIGNS

Father Fitzsimmons has caused | trouble among the women of the con grcgation of Holy Name Cathedral Chicago, by declaring all members of the Young Ladies Sodality. who have reached the age of forty, disqualified. Inasmuch as all births are registered. there is no way to ignore the pastoral cdict that at forty q woman ceases to bc eligible to "young ladies' v society, and there is rebellion in the church.
 When the officers, all of whom still write "Mis" before their names, handed in their rcsignations last week, many members, still undcniably youth. full, threatened to withdraw from the organization, and the well meaning priest faces n trying crisis, which hc evidently expected. In explaining his stand, he said:
 "It is absurd to call the organiza. tion young ladies' sodality, when there nrc so many older women in It. Its titIc became one of the standing jokes of the cathedral, and many young girls who were sorely in need of the sodality training wcrc kept out of it by these jokes. For this reason we found 1t necessary to enforce the age limit clause. The old members will lose none of their privileges. They will simply bc on an honorary list, and will hold their meetings apart from the younger girls. The only people that are making q fuss about putting the older members on the honorary list are the women, who are getting old, and with the natural feminine trait, do not want Co admit their years"
 This Is the first attempt made re. gently to AK m age limit for women. It is not known whether Father Fitz. simmons has been influenced by Dr. Osler's views, but his attempt to draw the line between youth and middle nge is, to say tho least, courageous. Doubt. less, many men will think that he has given the members of the sodality . wide margin in counting two score years, instead of thirty.Ave or less. Having taken this heroic step, howev. CT, he faces n problem before which any man might we'll finch. How is he to persuade young girls to join sodality which in time will expel them with the brand of forty on thcms By what methods Ia he to insure whole .souled work and growing efficiency, when each year brings the "young ladies" nearer the margin for retirement to the honorary listi Alas' by what sort of logic Is the retired list called honorary"i When was there n wom an who considered 1t an honor to be publicly ticketed as past fortyf
 Plainly, Father Fitzsimmons has made ruling that will give him plenty of work In the line of diplomacy. He may serve as an example of what not to do where "young ladies" societies in othcr churches are concerned. He hns the sympathy of all who realize the significance of his ruling Tens of thousands of women who read about his action will feel n deep indignation. He may learn something to his advan. taec by recalling Dr. Osler's experi. ences, and expecting for himself con. demnation hundred times as severe.

JOURNAL MINER ANNIvERSARY.
(From Tuesdays Daily )

Today is the first anniversary of tho birth of the greater Journal. Miner, for it was on May I, n year ago that this paper was presented Co the public in an enlarged and an improved form.
 That something has been accomplish. ed both in tho way of making n better newspaper than the county has ever had before, and in winning the respect and approval of the public, we have many assurances No day goes by which does not bring some kind word of approval and some slight increase in tho form of substantial business growth. This morning the paper has three times the circulation 1t had when the present administration came into full control of its affairs. It has enjoyed q steady support from the advertising element of the community, and it's income from all sources is greater than at any time in it's past history. True, the cost of producing the paper ia greater than before; in fact, has almost doubled, one heavy factor in the expense account be. ing the increased tclegraphic service and the betterment of its local ncws, mining and editorial departments. Had the Journal Miner depended solely upon it's revenues ns n newspaper 1t could not havo survived, and it is only because of its income from it's job printing depart mcnt that it is self sustaining.
 The Journal Miner has met various forms of competition without com plaint, for it has realized that no news paper has n title to monopoly, and 4hat the only way to win out and hold pub lie approval and public support is to be conspicuously worthy of it. In other words we have believed that the way to make the Journal. Miner hold ite place and extend it's prestige and influence was to be more and more efA. cicnt nc n medium of news, moro and more energetic tn exploitation of the county in it's material interest, to better and better assimilatc itself with the spirit and temper of the community in short, to do good service.
 Tho sonndness of this theory and it's Practicability are, we think. abundant. ly demonstrated in the results already achieved. Readers cannot have failed to notice that the Journal Miner has in its plan and character undergone com. plete revolution within the past twelve months. It holds it's columns open to every phase of intelligent and respect. ful public opinion; it does it's own thinking without fear ar favor and 1t gives it's opinions freely without at tempting to nattcr, cajolc or conciliate anybody. It believes that in this very intelligent community there is s spirit liberal enough not merely to concede freedom of opinion, hut tn respect It's expression. especially when held sub .icct to respectful review at the hands of the reading and thoughtful public. We have many assurances that this pol. icy of newspaper administration is more satisfactory thnn. the sort of spe-

NEW SAN FRANCISCO.

According to the Denver News, the California millionaircs who reside in New York City arc expected Co set the pace m rebuilding the metropolis of the Pacific west It is stated in this connection that the San Francisco banks will recover from their vaults about sl0O,0O0 900, all in gold coin and bullion. The insurance on proper " destroyed by fire and by the earthquake shocks, it being extreme ly difficult to separate tho two agencies in the vicinity of the great business blocks, is estimated nt si2j,000000. The bank reserves and the insurance money will all be rcinvcstcd in better. ments, the urgent call for architects showing that the movement to get ready for business will commence at once.
 San Francisco was settled in tho middle of the eighteenth century | U7s6), and for over loo years had not been materially injured ny earthquakes until last week 's disaster. This af. lords ground for hope that, in common with the capital city of Portugal, it will escape injury from that source for a long period in the future, as earthquakes, unlike volcanoes. shift their position from place 10 place, be- ing seldom dangerous in the same To- cality twice.
 Expert architects in New York and 1 other eastern cities, who have been consulted by California capitalists, ad. wise an avoidance of Himsy and com. bustiblc materials in San Francisco 's new buildings. They advance the opinion that the type of building which will prove most earthquake proof will also be largely of a Hre.proof character. The massive masonry at Stanford university, among the finest stone structures on the coast, collapsed under the earthquake shocks. Struc. lures of that nature allow nothing for play-thcrc is no give and take-nnd, if disturbed perceptibIy, must tumble into ruin. "lt is quite truc," says one architect, "that in wide. jointcd masonry there is, with or without the intention of the builders, often such an allowance, insomuch that certain Go. thic vaults have undergone strange and almost incredible distortion, due to unequal settlement, such as m earthquake shock might induce, with. out collapsing.'' This probably nc. counts for the fact that the Roman Catholic cathedral in San Francisco, while injured by the earthquake, was not destroyed.
 The need of tall buildings of the "sky .scraper" class is not urgent in San Francisco, as the city Is not linn. tied in space, and the price of real estate not particularly high. The "sky'scraper" may therefore he omitted in present calculations. Yet there is no evidence that the Call building. some fourteen stories in height suffered more keeniy than did lower buildings in the same locality. Its destruction Is attributed to fro rather than to the quakes. Another steel. frame structure, tho Crocker building, la said to have withstood the shocks, while masonry buildings in the neigh. borhood fell into fragments So far as ire Is concerned, the steel frame, with cement or stone filling is ss near nreproof as a building can be made, while at the same time convenient and slightly.
