A LIBEL AGAINST CATHOLICS.

MIR. George KEENAN,, in the Septem-
Der number of McClure's Magazine,
charges the Catholics of San Francisco
with the Schmitz administration The
statement is made that the Catholics
of San Francisco favored Srhmitz be-
cause he appointed many Of their peo-
pie to office and gave to their fairs
and charities money that he obtained
by sharing the earnings of prostitutes"
1t is hardly necessary to refute such
a wholesale accusation. The Catholics
of San Francisco constitute large
proportion of the population of that
city. No doub, they We're divided on
everywhere throughout this country.
No doubt some Of them supported
Schmitz and the labor ticket general
ly. A large portion of union labor in
every large city is Catholic. The
charge made by McClure's Magazine is
a libel against the Catholic people Of
the United States. 1t is more despic-
able because it is not the subject Of a
criminal or civil action. Had the
charge been made against some par
ticular person. thai person might have
an action for damages against the pub
Usher of the libel. but the charge is
made against class, consequently
there is no particular person or per-
sons who could be plaintiffs in an ac-
ton. The Catholics of the United
States can only resent the insult by
remembering the publication that pub
lished it.
The Monitor of San Francisco says
that The article includes a libel
against the Catholic church. and in
particular against the Catholic people
of this city. 1t is so gross and gratui-
tous an insult and so malicious a false
! hood. and it is given such prominence
in magazine tina: circulates through

Mr.. KEENAN, goes even further than
this. He tells thu world. through the
medium of McClure's Magazine. that
the Catholics of San Francisco elected
Schmitz because he appointed many
of their people to office and gave to
their fairs and charities money that he
obtained by sharing the earnings of
prostitutes. To sustain these extraor-
binary charges the writer does not ad-
vance single shred of evidence.

An Historic Cathedral.

The recent falling from the tower Of
Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin of the
half-ton weight. which supplies the
motor power for the bells. owing to the
swapping of the steel rope connecting
it with the carillons, will recall an an
clent mishap to this fabric. says the
Freeman's Journal. In 1862 during the
F1ceroyalty of the Earl of Sussex a
near relative of Sir Philip Sydney, the
celebrated soldier and scholar of the
Ellzabethan court, the roof and part
OF the body of Christ Church fell, by
which StrongboWs monument was in
Jured. The stone for the repairing Of
the building owing to the injuries thus
sustained was procured from the quar-
ry at Donnybrook, which is now filled
with water, and the account furnished
to the Cathedral authorities for this
stone and the receipt for its price are
still preserved among the Cathedral
archives. 1t is not perhaps. generally
known that Dublin is the only city,
with the exception of Salamanca. in
which two Observation-Disclosures Church
and st. Patrick's-which both belong
to the Protestant Church-are in the
possession of one and the same relig-
ious Communion.
Christ Church abounds with historic
memories. 1t possesses, writes cor
respondent, the heart of St. Lawrence
O"Toole, the great Archbishop of Dub
lin, which is preserved in a casket. It
was IN olden times a favorite place for
the meeting of the Irish Parliament.

MAY CHANGE ITS LOCATION
COMMERCIAL CLUB DESIRES NEW
QUARTERS AND MAY MOVE
SOON

At a meeting of the directors of the
Commercial club the question.
of seeking new quarters was
brought up. 1t was hoped that the
club would be able to get into it's new
quarters in the city hall building this
fall. but since work on that building
has been abandoned that plan has fall
len through. 1t has been rumored that
the Walla Walla club intends to va
cate it's quarters in the Rees- Winans
building.
If this is true. it would give the club
a chance to get club rooms in that
building and maintain a club insteao
of the mere occupation of two rooms
as is now he case.
Nothing definite was done in the
matter. but a committee was appoint
ed to look up the cost of such proceed
ings and other details and to report
this at the next meeting of the Com
mercial club, which is to be held on
Thursday, November IA.

LADIES TO USE
Y. N. c. A. GYM
WEDNESDAY NIGHT CF EACH
WEEK TO BE GIVEN UP TO
FAIR SEX.

While the Y. M. c. A. is an institu-
ton for men, it has been determined
owing to the lack of any similar orga-
MIA ton in the city for women. to de
vote one night each week, Wednes-
day, to the ladies' for the use of tn,
gymnasium and swimming pool.
While as yet there have been but
few enrolled in the class, it is thought
that it is from a misunderstanding
of the matter or perhaps total ignor-
ance of it. that this is the case. Wo-
men are to be given the same use of
the gymnasium on the nights as are
the men on the other nights and the
physical director will be there to in
struct and carry on the class in regu-
lar order.
To the women of the city this
should come as a great opportunity.
The gymnasium is one of the best in
this part of the country. Physical
Director Applegate is a man who is
capable in every respect. Special at
tention is to be given to these classes
for ladies and a large enrolment is eX-
pected as soon as the work is better
understood.

LANO OFFICE WANTS CASH
HOLDERS OF SCHOOL LANDS
MUST COMPLY WITH DEPART
MENT'S ORDERS.

County Auditor McCaw rece we'd in
structions this morning from the state
land office al Olympia to the effect
that all remittances to that office from
this city must be sent in cash or by
postal order. These instructions were
in further reference to a general order
issued recently that nothing but cash
RENTED by express would be received.
This order may not effect Walla
Walla to any great extent as it may
be that we will have no occasion to re-
nit money to the department until the
money conditions in the east are se.-
tied. There are many holders of land
in this county who purchased the
school lands on yearly contracts, and
it is possible that some of the hold
ers will desire 10 remit their yearly
payment at any time said Deputy J.
Carter Smith.

At a meeting of the executive COM

LEAP FOR LIFE
ENDS WILD RIDE
OWEN BARRON JUMPED FROM

After a wild ride of nearly 10 miles
on a runaway box car between and
o'clock yesterday, Owen Barron, the
20-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. G..
Barron, 42O Whitman street, leaped to

outskirts of the city, receiving in
juries which are likely to prove fatal.

some manner, the brakes refused to

when it came to the edge of the city,
a speed of about so miles an hour had
been worked up.
The car carried $4,000 pounds of bar
ley and it's headway was fearful. The
boy stayed with the car for about eight
miles then, being warned by the cries
of some men that the car was to be

of the car and a switch had been
opened to throw the car off the track

young man jumped.

On Ankeny field tomorrow afternoon
will be played the annual game be-
and Whitman college, a game which is
to put one or the other of these schools
out of the running for the champion
ship.
From all indications the local school
has by all odds the best of the bat
tie. Whitman has defeated some of the
same teams the university has and by
larger scores. The Whitworth game.
for instance. was something in the ma
ture of walkover for the local boys
While the university was able to score
merest piece of good fortune, after
having been outplayed from start to
finish. Indeed. this would seem to be
so, for the same teams played that of
the battleship Nebraska and Whit
worth held her own against the sailors
while the state university was drubbed
% the tune of 19 to 6. By another
roundabout comparison, Washington
was played to a standstill by Seattle
high school. Whitman beat Spokane
high school 20 to 0. The Spokane high
school beat and outplayed the Seattle
school. which all goes to show Whit
man is stronger. Again, Whitman de-
feated Multnomah IA to in a game
which should have been IA to O. Wash
ington had defeated this same team
three weeks before, but the Multnomah
team was then barely organized and
went into the game with but three
days practice. When they met Whit
man, they We're soundly trounced de-
spite the fact they We're stronger
Taken in all, it surely looks like Whit
mans game tomorrow unless some
sudden reversal of form springs up
which is unlocked for at this time.
