Before leaving Langdon ] promised
you a brief sketch of some of our
travels, but we have been SO busy sight
seeing that this is my first opportunity
to carry out my promise. After leaving
New York our first stop was at the
Azores, group of beautiful islands IN
the North Atlantic. Our next stop con-
sisted of day spent in Genoa, from
which point we went 10 Naples, both
numbering among the most beautiful
cities of Italy. Leaving Naples We
coasted along the country's shore line,
and about dusk we passed through the
Straits of M essina. on on! way to Alex
andria, Egypt.
After spending fifteen days on the
beautiful steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Gross, we landed at the great and old
historical city of Alexandria, which has
population of 100000, and it is here
that occurred the great naval battle of
the English in 1882. when that country
virtually took possession of Egypt. 1t
is great seaport. but there is nothing
of much interest to travellers except the
catacombs and the Pompei1sn pillar.
The catacombs, might state, are of re-
cent discovery. Our next stop was at
Carlo, which is one of the greatest, and
at the same time the most cosmopolitan
and historic cities in the world. AS you
know, it is situated in the delta OF the
Nile, and has for centuries been the
great centre of trade and civilation of
the Orient.
Here is where some of the great kings
of Egypt lived, and here, or near here,
stand the pyramids of the ancients. the
sphinx, and the temples and tombs of
the old kings of Egypt, built more than
5000 years before the birth of Christ.
Here it is where Joseph and Mary came
and hid in the grotto and lived for some
time when they fed from Palestine. We
visited Heliopolis. where Joseph left
Mary and Jesus and came to Carlo to
build hiding place and we stood under
the tree where it is claimed he said
good bye and left them. We also visit
ed the grotto in which they lived, while
we were in old Carlo. 1t may be also of
interest to state that before leaving we
we're taken to what is claimed to be the
exact site where the daughter of Pha-
roah found Moses in the.bull rushes,and
our guide took special pains to impress
upon us the fact that all of these loca-
tions of biblical history are authentic.
Carlo is city of about 100000 people
it has numerous beautiful hotels and
business houses. In some parts the
streets are not more than eight feet in
width, but the new part of Carlo is
built more on the modern plan. The
city presents strange appearance to an
American. Here one sees thousands oi
people in gaudy fantastic attire, shout
ing and gesticulating as if mad You
| see hundreds and hundreds of camels

MUNICIPAL ELECTION TALK.
Little if Any Interest at Present Manifest in
AtdermaniC Contest This SDrinn.


Tuesday was the first registration day
preceding the city election to be held
on Monday the lst of April, at which
three aldermen will be elected One in
the First Ward to succeed Alderman
Sullivan: one in the Second Ward to
succeed Alderman Robert Meikleiohn
and one in the Third Ward to succeed
Alderman w. B. Gordon. We have not
heard authoratively as to whether any
or all of these gentlemen will be in the
field for another term of service on the
city council. AS will be seen in another
column, by letter over the signature of
Mayor Kopriva, the voters will also
be called upon to vote their approval or
disapproval of appropriations by the
council for aid in maintenance of city
band and public library. Both are
generally viewed as necessary adjuncts
to an enterplising and up-to- date town,
and the appearance of these PROPOSE
tions on he,ballot may possibly give a
little snap and ginger to what other
wise would likely be tame municipal
election.

-''sSNt'iNSN VI
cent date ! will write little that may
be OF interest to some of your many
readers and the old friends and acuuaint-
ances of myself and family back in
North Dakota. Of course the first ques-
ton is, What do you think of Nirginia!'
In answer | can only say that we have
possible to express full and complete
opinion, but will say that at present we
think very we'll of this section of the
state. The coldest we have had this
winter was II degrees above zero. One
thing about it though, the dampness IN
the atmosphere makes it colder to ones
feelings than it would be in North Da-
kota if the thermometer stood at 10 de
grees below. We had snow and sleet
storm once during the winter that laid
on the ground for nearly week, but
with that exception the snow has melt
ed nearly as fast as it falls and few
hours of sunshine ends the question for
the time being. However, the Virginian
regard the snow quite seriously, and
several times while driving to Richmond
in buggy we have met country teams
scraping the snow off the roads with a
road grader when it was perhaps only
three inches deep. At one time during
the present winter | have noticed cut
ter or two in use, but ! tell you they
were regarded as being quite curio-
sity.
While our North Dakota friends have
been wondering when the next freight
would come along with fuel we have
been drawing it from our own woods
and accumulating a supply for summer
use. | might mention as curious fact
that while wood is plentiful in the
country. yet in the city it costs as much
as it does in Langdon. Lumber can be
bought at from $l2 to Slo per thousand
in the rough of course. dressed lumber
costing more proportlonately. Nearly
all northern people who come here are
compelled to repair their buildings on

manage to get along with what any
northern man would call Just out build
ings and nothing more. The people in
the vicinity of our place are by quite {
large per centage northerners, coming
however from dozen different states

High School Eraternities.

A few days ago McCutcheon drew a
very significant cartoon for the Trib-
une entitled Not a Member of the
Frat. It represents a lad in plain
homespun pausing at the entrance to
a hlgn school to watch a merry troop
OF spruce lads, dressed in smart clothes
and Saucy hats, who pass him by and
enter the portal without even a glance
at him. The cartoonist has hit off IN
this remarkable drawing the very es-
sence of the high school fraternity,
namely, snObbery. The question of
these secret societies had become ser
ious enough two years ago to invite
inquiry by the National Educational
association, which adopted resolutions
Conforming them for many reasons.
Inc attitude of public educators gen
orally throughout the country is well
summarized in the american Review
OF reviews for September. The facts
are that 12S out of 1856 principals ad-
dressed replied in terms of unqualified
dlSapprOVal of the fraternities, while
ntty-three viewed them with greater or
less Gisfavor. They create cliQues fos-
ter undemocratic and unkind feelings
between members and non-members
and interfere with discipline In forty
three cut of forty-nine schools inter-
We're said to be detrimental to scholar
ship; in some cases gambling and i'm
moral practices have been traced to
them. School boards that have en-
forced certain regulations against them
nave been enjoined by legal processes
brought by parents of the boys con-
cerned: but the courts have uniformly
upheld tn eright of the boards TO make
such regulations. Parents could, by
united action in forbidding their chill
dren to join them, so weaken the socie-
ties that they would become practically
innocuous. But inasmuch as admission
to these fraternities is generally based
upon social standing" parents seem
to be averse to interfering with them.
The lesson of all this for Catholic edu-
Gators is obvious. Let such organiza-
tons never gain foothold in Catholic
schools. The principles of these secret
societies are contrary to Christian
brotherhood and detrimental to that
moral and intellectual training which
it is the aim of Catholic education to
imparU.-New World.

Socialism and the Catholic Press.

AT the recent conference of the Cath
Ollie Truth Society of England. held at
Preston, one of the speakers. Canon
Richardson, made the rather startling
statement that I'VE are losing the
workingman.
The fact. writes Dom Gilbert Hig-
gins, {. r. l.. in a letter to the London
Catholic Weekly, lis an unpalatable
one, but if the Catholic Truth society
had done no more than help to bring
this fact to light it would deserve the
support of every true Catholic in Eng
land. What now is to be done? Nav |
respectfully suggest that we use the
Catholic press to remedy this serious
evil? What has alienated the working
man? The same cause which has led
the same class astray in France. name
ly, the assiduous reading of non Cath
Ollie newspapers. What will bring the
Workingman back? / venture to saw
that ii will be the regular reading of
Catholic newspapers. Suppose every
priest We're to recommend every Sun
day from the pulpit the Importance of
the Catholic press. Suppose our papers
were on sale at the church door where
our people, after hearing about them,
would pick one up. Depend upon it, sir,
salutaTy change would soon be eff
fected in the attitude of the Catholic
Workingman toward socialism He is
not hostile to the clergy, he is not
against his church. As Mr. Allen said
so wisely at the same conference, THE
true Catholic simply wants to be
warned to abjure socialism. Our Cath
Ole press warns, and gives solid rea-
sons for its warning. Let its power be
utilized in this emergency for the pur-
pose o. certifying the layman.'

'fZira.v

Among the strong dramatic produc-
lions of recent years, none has excited
greater public approval than ''Zira,
the modern adaptation of Wilkie Col
Inns famous novel, THE New Magda-
| len" by Henry Miller and j. Hartley
Manners. This play is to be the at
traction at the Salt Lake theatre next
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Wednesday matinee, with
the favorite emotional actress, Flor
ence Roberts. in the stellar role of
Hester Trent. In it Miss Roberts is
said TO have a wonderful scope for
her unusual and remarkable abilities
as an emotional actress.
The play deals with the efforts of a
young woman to regain her place in
the world, which she has lost through
being tricked into false marriage by
a scoundrel already married To re-
gain her lost position. she steps into
the place and adopts the name of a
woman supposed to be dead.
The crisis comes when this woman
returns and claims her own from the
usurper. 1t leads up to a scene in
which are portrayed one of the most
remarkable heartrending duels of emo
ton ever seen on the stage. 1t is a
situation that demands deft. fine and
unrestrained acting, cold hatred, and
passionate regifity, and which electri-
fies the audience by a subsequent mo-
ment of contrition. In this wonderful
emotional scene, Miss Roberts is said
to be at her best. She has been sur
rounded by a strong supporting COM
pany and the piece has been hand
somely and adequately mounted.

of the drama in which the talented
and ever popular Amelia Bingham,
Americas only actress manager, will
be seen at the Salt Lake theatre the
week following Florence Roberts. This
play, written by Frederick F. Schrader
and Lloyd NJ. Bingham, is original in
theme and extremely dramatic in de-
Velopment. The story concerns a beau
tiful woman who. to earn money to
save her husbands life, poses for a
painting of Lady Godiva. She repulses
a wealthy and INSCRIPTIONS admirer
who in revenge purchases the picture
and contrives to have it placed on pub

present. The play permits Miss Bling
ham to give free rein to her powers of

renown as the best dressed woman on
the American stage. AS usual, Miss

Weep not for those who die; they love
US yet,
Are with US lest our lonely hearts
grow strange
Are with us lest our weary hearts for
get.
Weep not for those who die, but those
who change.
The changed ones-those we loved, and
now must lose,
CThe dead are safe: we love them,
and they live.)
Far better dead than changed, if I
might choose:
The dead are ours, the changed we
must forgive.
oh, changed and lost!-oh, lost, how
utterly
I know not if the ages can repair
The broken lives, the love that once
was there.
Love should live changeless through
Eternity.

Oft will we look upon her face. and

The Greatest Enemy of Gods Church

The greatest enemy of God today is
not the open prosecutor, but the I'M
faithful Christian. The greatest enemy
of Gods church today is the scan
dalous Catholic. The greatest enemy of
the kingdom Of God on earth is the
man who, acknowledging allegiance to
his Sovereign Master, lives an I'M
christian life. The greatest enemy of
God today on this earth is not the in
fidel is not the blasphemer, is not the
free thinker, but it is the bad Cath
olic-the Catholic who won't come to
church on Sunday: the Catholic who
won't go to confession; the Catholic
who eats meat on Friday: the Cath
Ole who by his crimes scandalizes the
non-Catholic world; the Catholic VINO
leads a filthy life; the Catholic who dis
graces his baptism and brings con-
tempt upon the religion and religion of
Him who bought him.
All such Catholics are objects of
Gods infinite scorn. They will be
turned out. on the last day. cast forth
forever into exterior darkness. They
will be stripped of the light of faith
and punished forever with exclusion
from heaven. They will be thrown
into exterior darkness of hell, where
they will be tortured forevermore. For
as long as God is God he will cherish
a hatred, a special hatred, for bad
Catholics, who in the day of His su-
preme rejoicing. in His very banquet
hall. disgraced Him and disgraced His
Eternal Son.-From a sermon by Rev.

Fire insurance Reduction.

Salt Lake citizens are in a fair way
to get the benefit of reduction in fire
insurance rates. In fact, some reduc-
lions already have been made.
At a meeting of the local board of
fire underwriters, last July, at the sug-
gestion of Eugene B. Palmer of Stowe
& Palmer, a movement was started to
secure an equitable adjustment of the
fire rates that then obtained in Salt
Lake City. 1t was felt by the local
underwriters that reductions of fire
rates should be made because of an i'm
provement in the city's water supply
and fire fighting facilities. The local
agents thereupon made voluntary sub
scriptions for the purpose of sending a
representative to San Francisco to con-
fer with the Pacific board of under
writer's, which has jurisdiction over the
Salt Lake rate schedule.
James Rogers, president of the local
underwriters board, was selected to
make the trip and he went to San
Francisco loaded with statistics con-
corning the increased water supply and
pressure, extension of water mains and
the very decided betterment of the fire
fighting equipment

The Church Does Not Lose.

The history of most contests with
that strange priest empire Ghe Papa
cyl seems to point the moral that ulti-
mate victory rests with the side whose
real weapons are not gross guns and
bayonets, thought it has often awaited
itself of such worldly advantages. It's
strength lies otherwhere; and be it
emperor or statesman or individual
that finds something to challenge and
attack in many-sided Rome, the end
is ever the same-the world seems to
win, but the church does not lose; and
the worldly combatant goes, after ALL
to Canossa.-George Sampson, in the
London Daily Chronicle.
