which was followed by more speeches.
One from Judge John B. Redman was es-

Orland Fair Il Success .

The fair at Orland Wednesday of last

firmations in his diocese. This large
number, it is explained in The Catho-
lie Mirror, is perhaps due to the fact
that combinations had not been ad-
ministered in the country districts for
many cars prior to his arrival. By
means Of the ecclesiastical census in
sIituteG by the old Spanish mission
aries it is ascertained that there are
now 100000 Christians in the archi
pelago. Some other facts concerning
the Catholic church in the Philippines
are given in The Mirror as follows:
The idea that he church in the
Philippines is rich is pure fiction. The
church had been rich in lands, and
these lands were productive and gave
results, but for ten years no revenue
has been received from any Of them.
and the result is poverty on the part
Of the church. Under the old regime
the Spanish government paid for the
support of the clergy. This, Of course,
has been withdrawn, and the clergy
are dependent on the voluntary con-
tributions of the people. The people
had not been accustomed to support
the clergy directly; they supported
them indirectly through the taxation
system. The direct contributions are
now hardship to them. the supper
which they give to the church is very
meager, and the priests are In extreme
poverty.
There are 400 priests in the do
cese of Manila; 800 priests in the do
cese Of Jaro; 10 in the diocese of
Vigan; $50 in the diocese Of Cebu, and
$50 in the diocese Of Nueva Caceres.
In the United States We have $4,000
600 Catholics, with II archbishops, 90
bishops and 5000 priests. In the
Philippine islands we have 100000
Catholics. just so per cent. Of those in
America, and We have l archbishop >
bishops and 1,O40 priests. The strik-
ing contrast in these figures shows
without comment how much remains
to be done

BEWARE CF sTIMULANTs.
They Prove Dangerous and Deeep-
tive Beverage for Human System.

Why should any man endowed WI
sense give way to the craving for
cOholic stimulants?
Nutritious food, exercise and sleep
are the best stimulants; you do not
need any others. Half an hours hard
work every day with dumb-bells or
Indian clubs or a punching bag will
put you in physical and mental con-
dition in which you can in the long
run outstrip any man in the world
that lives on stimulants.
Stimulants are a broken-kneed
horse; they are likely to throw you at
any time
You can set it down as an absolute
fact that there is no amount of extra
work that you may be called upon to
do and no extra strain you may have
to undergo that you cannot endure
great deal better without stimulants
than with them.
For every degree of extra energy
produced by alcoholic stimulants, de-
clares the New York Weekly, there
are ten degrees of lassitude when the
reaction comes.
Besides, it is perfectly well known
that all stlmulants lose in time their
exhilarating effect Larger and larger
doses are required, until the sodden
brain refuses any longer to respond,
and the man becomes a mere battered,
depressed wreck
The wise man has no use for these
things; drinks harmless beverages.

Bar to Drunken Persons.

The Pennsylvania railroad lines
have recently adopted a rule not TO
sell tickets to drunken persons. Muir
ders have resulted on several trains
from their presence, and in some
cases companies have been assessed
heavy damages for assaults commit
ted by drunkards in passenger cars.
For this reason the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn has barred them out of her trains.
1t is understood that the Big Four,
the Lake Erie d Western, and prob
ably the New York Central lines are
considering the adoption of the same
rule. If the ne edict goes forth, no
one who is not sober will be allowed
upon a passenger train. Condu Is
will receive instructions to ejec at
first stop all who indulge in intoxicat-
ing liquors on the trains. &

ANOTHER INDICTMENT.
Alcohol Shown to Be a Menace to the
Public Health

The recently published report of DR..
William S. Cook, medical health of
fiCer for the town Of Greenock, Scot
land. contains some notable references
to alcohol as affecting the public
health. Dr. Cook embodied in his re-
port a poster and handful which had
been issued in accordance with the in
structions of the local public health
committee. This circular made refer
ence to the enormous amount of dam
age done directly and indirectly to
men and women in every town by the
abuse Of alcohol and attention was
drawn to this as one of the Ct
causes IN lowering the health of rzqs
citizens and rendering them easily
susceptible to many diseases. Com
menting on the notably high infantile
mortality rate shown in his report, DR..
Cook stated: 1t is said by those com
petent to judge that drinking amongst
women OF the working class is on the
Increase in the United Kingdom-in
any case, il is unfortunately too com
mon amongst a class that can least
afford it. There is no single factor SO
pernicious in its influence as this.
