STOOD BY
THEIR KEYS
HEROIC EFFORTS TELEGRAPHERS
TO REMAIN ON DUTY IN
THE STRICKEN CITY.
In Recital of Heroic Deeds In Midst of
Earthquake and Fire, Hoped These
Knights Will Receive Their Just
Need of Praise-Much Due to
Their Devotion to Duty.

In the recital of heroic deeds per
formed in the midst of earthquake and
fire at San Francisco, it is to be hoped
that the telegraph operators will re-
ceive their share of praise, says the
| Washington Post. The daring of the
fire fighters and the fortitude of the
soldiers were picturesque features of
a wild and awful drama, wildly ap-
pealing to the popular imagination.
The t~elegraphers, on the other hand,
we're unseen, and their work went on
without the inspiration of crowds. Yet
they performed their task in imminent
danger of death from falling walls, ex-
plosions and approaching fires.
Stuck to Their Keys.
In the surroundings, with rocking
walls about them, with smoke and
gases sitting them, with the roar OF
flames and explosions in their ears, and
clouds of smoke filling the sky, these
men stuck to their keys and flashed
the news that made the world stand
aghast. They were as truly soldiers
to duty as the armed men about them,
and faced the king of terrors with as
knightly courage as the gallant souls
who CROPPED among tottering walls for
the dead and wounded.
Heroic Fidelity of Operators.
1t was due to the modest but heroic
fidelity of the t~elegraphers that the
country was able to respond, almost in
the twinkling of an eye, to the cry of
distress from the shattered city. The
relief that prevented famine and un-
speakable hardships, the joyful intel
ligence from those who escaped de-
struction, the comforting assurance of
immediate help, were all made pos
sible by the devotion of these unob-
trusive and faithful men. They re-
moved an immense burden Of anxiety
from thousands of hearts by keeping
open the means of communication at
the risk of their own lives. No more
valuable service than this could have
been performed by one human being
for another.

BARN DESTROYED BY
FIRE LAST AE

- ~
Fire at 4:40 yesterday afternoon de-
stroyed the barn in the rear of the
residence of County Treasurer w. L..
Hicks at the corner of Fourth and
Flint streets, the shed in the rear of
the Thomas Hardy home on Third
street and the fence in the rear of a
vacant lot belonging to William
George. The cause of the fire Is I'M
known, but some attribute 1t to small
boys playing with matches in the
neighborhood. Mr.. Hicks sustained a
loss of about $3.50, with insurance for
$3.50, Mr.. Hardy's loss being about
500. Mr.. Hicks lost some hay and
implements. A still alarm was sent
in and the chemical engine responded
promptly. 1t was found the fire was
too extensive to be fought that way
and a second alarm brought the steam
er. A two-inch water pipe furnished
an inadequate water supply for the en-
CINE, the machinery giving way under
the strain, and the Hicks building was
partly wrecked with hooks and ropes
to prevent a spread of the flames.
The engine was sent to the machine
shops last night and repaired.

JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT
CALLS FORTH FEW REMARKS
ON SUBJECT FROM FAITH
Err cUMMlskEY.
Priest of st. Lawrence o'Tooie's Con-
tends That 1t Was Not the Use,
But the Abuse, of the Bible That
Was Condemned by the Catholic
church-very Words of Scripture
Preserved from Early Times.
Laramie, wyo., April rs, 1906.

Laramie, Wyo., April rs, 1906.
To the Editor of The Republican:
Please let me have a little space in
your paper for a few remarks.
According to The Republican Of
April 23d, Judge Potter is quoted as
saying at the university vesper service
last Sunday that the Bible, which he
highly eulogized, was for centuries kept
from the people, etc. 1t is obvious the
judge, consciously or otherwise, reflect
ed on the church which carried to us
over the wreck and ruin Of the past the
Bible as well as the cherished literature
of Roman and Greek.
The Very Words Preserved.
1t would occur to the fairly well in
structed that Judge Potter manifested
a singular unacquaintance with the
facts in the case. 1t is well known that
during the Middle, or often called Dark
Ages, deyout monks and nuns preserv.
ed to us the very words of Scripture
in beautiful manuscripts, such as, to-
wards their close, on the eve of the
Renaissance, Thomas a Kempis left fol
our use and admlratlon.
stayed on the Bible.
Catholic doctrine stayed itself on the
Bible; preaching went back to 1t; mis-.
sal and breviary, pontifical rites and
papal documents and Canon Law were
| efforts on a grand scale to digest its
teachings and apply them. Catholic art
drew its favorite subjects from Holy
| Writ; the literature, proverbs, daily
conversations, of all classes during this
long period show that Christians were
familiar with its narratives in a strik
ing degree.
Evidence of Familiarity.
From the paintings which are still
eXtant in Roman catacombs tocthe Mo-
sales of st. Marks, Venice, or the Cap,
pella Palitina in Palermo; from the
primitive religious schools of Siena,
Florence, Cologne, Holland, as well as
from every phase of ecclesiastical arch
itecture down to the 'Bible of Amians'
and the frescoes of the Sistine, it Is evil
dent that eyes, mind and heart could
take their fill of the inspired story.
Every Process Used.
Learning and ~sanctity welded pen,
pencil, chisel, brush, every instrument
which conveys thought or evokes beau
ty in order that Gods written wore
should be known and loved. During
those ages the Bible spoke in stone, on
Illuminated parchment, in stained
glass; it was delivered from the lips
Of popular instructors, reflected in the
poetry of the Holland, of Dante, of Fra
Jacopo, expounded on the walls, gates
and pavements of innumerable
churches. 1t was recited in monster
les day and night, quoted in parlia
ments; it was the inspiriation-the life
l-of music and song, so that never
perhaps, was it more universally
known. Be it ever remembered that
the Catholic church condemned not the
use of the Bible, but the abuse.

SAYINGS OF A SOLOMON.

When you hear a man say do others
before they do you,' look out for him!
He is one of the evil-doers!
When you are down, take knocks
without bowling. But when you get
up again just sock it to your enemy
with compound interest.
Mark Twain says: BE good and
