Back Sliding Catholics.


In an interview In LIE Figaro OF
Paris Mgr. Count Way de vaya, a Hun
garian prelate, says that backsliding
Catholics constitute an alarming by
product of immigration:
1.-The immigrants pouring into Amer
lea from Poland, Hungary. and Rou-
mania are profoundly affected by the
present conditions of immigration, and
are exposed to the risk OF spe adily
losing their G tristan faith ana alor2
with it the guiding principles OF moral
ity. This peril is keenly realized by
all serious students of sociology in the
United States, and the more so because
the lamentable results of moral and
religious decline are plainly to be seen.
Nearly a million immigrants enter the
United States every year. The ma
tority of those poor people don't speak
English. Hence a sort Of isolation.
which is extremely prejudicial to them
from the religious point of view. Their
spiritual relations with Catholic priests
and Protestant clergymen are totally
Inadequate. Left to themselves, they
little by little lose their religious hab-
its, finally their faith, and when faith
goes, all ideals go, and they soon find
themselves without defense against
their instincts and passions"
Christianity's Growth in India.
To the Editor Of the Sun-Sir: In
short article which appeared in your
issue Of February I. entitled Facts
About India" is this statement: 1T
is a we'll known fact, too, that Moham-
mechanism is making more converts
among the Hindus than is Christian
ity."
While this may be true, it is some-
what misleading. 1t seems to indicate
that Mohammedanism is making great
err progress in India than is Christian
ity. This is very far from being the
case. The census of 1901 makes the
total number of Mohammedans in In
dia to be So, 45S.077. The total number
of Christians was 2,923.241, against L.
976.77s ten years before, showing an
increase during the decade from 1891
to 1901 of 946, 463 an increase of about
one-third in ten years. The general in
crease of the whole population covered
by the census from 1891 to 1901 was a
little more than per cent. The Mo-
hammedan increase was about per
cent, while Christianity increased more
than so per cent.
The increase of Protestant native
Christians for the decade was so per.
cent. Mohamm edanisnl is not spread
ing rapidly, while Christianity is, and
never so rapidly as at the present
time. If the rate of increase that has
since 1880 continues for four
or five decades to come there will be
as many Christians in India alone as
there were in the Roman empire in
the time of Constantine in the fourth
century, say nine or ten millions. The

dent in India and knows we'll the situa-

By following the hill route the pro-
posed line would probably be several
hundred feet longer than the proposed
route surveyed out by Engineer Sayles,
but the added cost would not exceed
$4,000. Until an actual survey is made
it is impossible to estimate the differ
ence, if there would be any, between
the cost of constructing the hill line and
the creek line. On the hill route at no
point between the intake and the
Wickersham bridge would the pipe line
be more than 35 feet above the creek
bed, consequently the cost of hosting
material to the trenches would not be
excessive while the cost Of excavating
it is estimated could be done for much
less than in the rocky bottom of the

seeing ghost during all hours Of the
night-a woman ghost, dressed in long

black scarf tied closely over the head
until her face is almost invisible.

that a mysterious woman had been
hanging around his house ne was ridi-

Dozens of people have seen the appari-
ton, but not one has had courage to
ask her her business. Children keep
close indoors at night. In fact, the
ghost has the whole town "buffaloed."
The phantom has promenaded all
over the town, and made its headquar-
tiers near the house where John Muir
hung himself on January 1, 1905
Muir's body was not found for five
months.
