The theory that science Is more ef-
feetive in a physical encounter than
brute strength. even when unaided by
the Introduction Of brass knuckles, was
verified in The Police Court when Rich

Hunt is a powerful Individual. about
eighteen years Of age. Weighing in the
neighborhood of 100 pounds, while his
victim. Stien. is man who carries
about with him some 165 pounds OF flesh.
Stien was the first to take the stand
His facial appearance was that OF a
man who had attempted an unsuccess-

Kniohts of Columbus.

AT the last meeting of Salt Lake
council No. Coz, knights of Columbus,
held Tuesday evening, May Z, two mo-
lions were passed by unanimous con-
sent of the members. which will re-
dound to the great glory of the organ
iZation for many years to come. The
knights by their action have placed
themselves on record as imbued with a
true Catholic spirit. and as endowed
with the best qualities of a fraternal
| organization. 1t moreover is note
worthy of this action for the fact that
it was almost spontaneous and was
carried through without a dissenting
voice.
The first motion presented called for
an appropriation by private subscrip-
ton for an important work in the fn-
ishing touches on the cathedral. The
knights will assume the expense of
putting down the floor in the new ca
thedral. A committee was appointed
to convey the good news to the bishop,
who received the members most cor
daily, and thanked them most heartily
for their generous offer. The commit
tee in carrying out their instructions
expressed to Bishop Seaman the high
esteem in which he was held by all
members of the order, and assured him
that it was in recognition of the work
he had done for the Catholics Of the
west that they had volunteered to help
him in this, one of the great proofs of
his labor, the building of this beautiful
house of worship in their midst. The
estimated cost of this work is $1,000.
Any surplus in the subscription will
also be turned over to the bishop to be
applied to any purpose he may desire.
The second motion carried had ref
erence to the maintaining of room in
the Holy Cross hospital for the benefit
of sick members of the council. APP
preparation was literally made for this
purpose also. DR.. Hughes and Ed
ward McGurrin were appointed TO
make arrangements with the hospital

The Cocaine Curse.

The coaeaine evil is more rampant in
some southern cities than it is here,
and the need of measures of special Sc
verify to repress it is fully recognized.
The drug is so easy to conceal and car
~ about and its effect upon the nerv-
Gus system so prompt and potent that
it's use seems to have come about as a
handy substitute for alcohol, warranted
to make the drunk come" quicker than
the strongest tanglefoot whisky. At all
events it has taken hold on an element
of the population in various cities, and
as it's use spreads it leaves a trail of
insanity and death. The increase of
insanity among the colored population
is already very marked, and this new
vice will augment the influences that
are already overcrowding the public
asylums.-Baltimore News.

OBITUARY..
SIattery.

Father NJ. Siattery, who was native
of Tallow county Waterford, Ireland,
and vicar general of the diocese of
Gouldbourn. died recently. He was
pastor of Wagga Wagga, Australia. for
many years. In 1883 Father Slattery,
accompanied by the present bishop OF
Gouldbourn, Rt. Rev. John Gallagher,
visited Salt Lake and was the guest of
Bishop Seaman, who then resided in
the rear of st. Mary's church. Though
injured to hardship in the Australian

primitive apostolic missionary life so
faithfully carried out as in Salt Lake
Between our bishop and the two Aus
tralian missionaries a warm friendship
has existed since their visit to this city.

Bath and Beauty.

1t is necessary for a person to take
as good care of the body as the face to
obtain the clear, healthy complexion
so much desired by all. A cold bath
every morning for very vigorous per-
sons, or once or twice a week. and
thoroughly rubbing with coarse
towel or flesh brush mornings when
the bath is not taken, for the less ro-
bust is necessary to keep the actions
of the skin in health and very invig-
orating. After warm baths at night a
dash of cold water will prevent chills.
Clothing worn during the day should
never be slept in, and that worn at
night should be exposed during the
day to the air. Quantities of moisture
filed with the waste of the body are
given off every day and mostly alb
sorbed by clothing. Exposure to air
and sunlight purifies the clothing and
bedding of the poisons which nature
is trying to get rid of and which
would otherwise be brought again in
contact with the body. By following
these healthful everyday directions
and taking equally good care of the
face you will soon notice a decided i'm
provement in the tone of your whole
system.
