and business women, strangers mixing
unfortunately In the same section OF
at the same table. For q number Of
years past Mr.. Geer has held MONDAY
services In his chapel and from casual
attendants at these meetings learned
the conditions under which young wo-
men labor and even struggle within
sound Of his church bells. A remedy
fer certain phases, he believes, lies In
oFsetting the bad example and infiu-
ence of the glddy few with the good
example of the many who respect the
ideals Of true wOmanhOOd. Rooms in
the parish house have been opened for
a cradle OF a business women's club,
where girls may lunch on the basket
plan and have hot tea or coffee served
for q nominal sum or have q complete
lunch at moderate cost. The club,
which opened house the LIST Of Febru-
airy, Is cooperative. and the programme
10 for business women to meet and ex-
change cordialities, swap notes and
n
partment to protect the rights Of the
members and an employment bureau
are among the features to be added az
the work progresses. Especial atten-
ton win be given to the welfare of
unsophisticated girls who are daily
launched into the whirlpool Of rapid
business life without guides or an
chorags. Self supporting always and
sometimes the breadwinners for others,
these girls. just freed from school and
home restraints, must battle for 9
foothold In the business world, which
nowhere, In America at least, includes
more OF the rude. heedless and unprin-
eipled types Of humanity than are
found In downtown New York.
Very many Of the New York business
girls enter the Offices from country
towns and villages. Their initiation Is
often as rough In its way as that ex-
perisnced by farm boy who ships be-
fore the mast or enllsts In the army.
The bunetings met with test the soul
40 well az the mental AbeF, and a half
hour a day with fellow craftswomen
who are In the same straits or have
wcathsrod them will at least dispel for
q time that sense Of hslpIessneaa and
loneliness which Expresses the begin
ner in a strange city.

PANIC.

The big railroad manlpulators
and Wall street spectators created a
panic which reminds one Of an old
fable Of the tiy on the axle which
thought II was creating lot Of dust
~ tho wagon passed over the road.
The panic did not amount to much
outside Of Wall street, but there the
gamblers kicked up an awful dust,
attempted to = brighten President
Roosevelt and told the whole country
what great calamity had arrived.
The dust has cleared away and no
one In Legitimate business seems to
have been hurt.

INDEPENDENT VOTING

The citizens OF Occur d'Alene have
sixteen men 20 select from as ooun-
cilmen for the new city, four In each
ward.
From these, eight will be elected to
ha council. On each ticket there
are good men, In fact none are OBJ
jectlonable so far as personality Is
concerned but some will make better
eouuciImen than others. In voting
Cor them personal prejudice should
be eliminated IA far ~ possible and
q standard of fitness, Of qualification,
govern the voter. We believe the
people can and will elect from these
candidates q capable council Of pro-
groasiye and pubIic spirited men. 1t
Is not the time for false economy in
expenditures for improvements that
should be made and for this reason
men who are broad minded should be
elected. This, with proper regard for
economy, should be q standard Of fit
ness.
So far a. the candidates for city
officers are concerned, aside from
mayor, we kellevs any Of them quail
fed to make good officers and citizens
can take their choice with q knowl-
edge that all are worthy.
In the campaign for mayor an issue
Is involved which vitality Affects the
city for the next two years. Judging
from his pest record and the anxiety
Of the saloon m0a for his election,
there IL but one conclusion 70 reach,
and that 10 IL III. v. Scallon 10 elected
II placasa man In Office who u favor
able to gambling and q wide open
town. II VaEnam is elected IL means
the enforcement OF the laws. Aside
from this Issue II would not make
much difference which OF the oandi-
dates 10 elected; but the question is
Of such vital Importance that It is
useless to attmept TO ignore 1t.
We believe In independent voting as
the best guarantee Of good government.
Its results are usually for the best
In county and municipal affairs,
in which no citizen shoald wear the
collar Of any man or party. For that
reason those who believe In a wide
open town should vote for DIR. Seal
Ion and those who believe In the en-
forOement Of laws cannot consistently
do otherwise than support 8. A. Var

CATHOLIC HIERARCHY

Cardinal Gibbons and ArchbfshOps
 Take Up Important Matters.
 Washington, April 11.-A number of important matters ot interest to the Catholic world were considered and disposed of at the concluding session tonight of the Catholic Hierarchy of America, at the Catholic University of America in this city. Cardinal Gib- bons presided and there were present Archbishops Farley of New York, Noel Ter Of Cincinnati, Ireland of St. Paul, Keane of Dubuque, Glennan of St. Louis, Blank of New Orleans, Messmer of Milwaukee, Williams of Boston and Ryan of Philadelphia.
 One of the important matters con sidered was that looking to u more ac- curate enumeration by the United States census bureau of the Catholic population of the country. A number of letters were read and n committee consisting of Archbishops Ireland Keane, Messmer and Glennan was Hp- pointed who will act in. conjunction with the census office to secure q more accurate estimate of the Catholics in this country.
 petition was received from repre- sentatives of the conferences of Cath ollie schools and seminary, consisting of Messrs. Conway, Dalury and Mur- phy, the last named provincial of the
 
 which was to bring about n unification of college curriculum so as to bring in closer association parish and Cath o1ic schools to the Catholic university. A committee consisting of Archbishops Farley, Messmer and Blank was ap- pointed to meet a similar committee from the various Catholic colleges and seminaries to discuss the question of bringing about a closer union between them.
 An urgent plea was made for more liberal contribution on the part of Catholics toward the Peters pence" fund for the Vatican. The Archbishops discussed the religious rites and rituals of various societies of the country and the committee having in charge this question reported that the ritual and so-called religious forms were only nominal and did not create the mem- bers into a special religious cult.
 A letter was received from the Bish- op of Namour, Belgium. announcing that an eucharistic congress is to be held at that place and Bishop Macs of Covington, Ky. was delegated to rep resent the Catholic hierarchy of the United States.
 Father Burke of New York was ap- pointed Secretary General of the bu- reau of colored missions.

Secretary. Takes Issue With . Scot
 tish Inspector.
 Washington, April 11-In an author ized statement issued at the Depart ment of Agriculture today, Secretary Wilson takes issue with certain stric- lures recently made by A. M. Trot- ter. municipal veterinary inspector of Glasgow. Scotland. upon the system of meat inspection in the United States.
 In an official report. Mir. Trotter Is alleged to have said that in 1905 the number of animals slaughtered in the United States was 11.732,165. an aver age of 37.4S2 for each working day and that the number of inspectors was but forty. which made 1t necessary for each inspector to examine the car casses of not less than s37 animals each day "an utter impossibility.
 Secretary Wilson said that the in- ference was that these figures repre- scented the entire Federal inspection service of the United states.
 "As a matter fo fact" he said. the report of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry for the fiscal year 1905 shows that 40,221,0 ,013 animals were inspected at slaughter in that year"
 The force engaged in meat inspection on July 1. 1905. according to the re- cords of the bureau, numbered 76s, ex- elusive of 243 microscopists. Under the new meat inspection law. he says the forcce at Chicago has been con siderably increased until it now num- bers 276 of whom seventy-one are trained veterinarians. In the country at large, he says, the meat mspection force numbers more than 2,oeo'

CLOSE CALL. FOR MOTORMAN Clothing Clipped by a
 Bullet. SHOTS FIRED AT THREE CARS Employe on Oak Park Line Has
 Narrow Escape. Strike Director Behner, On Eve of De- parture from Montgomery, Declares strikers Are Now in Self Sup.
 porting Condition.

volley of shots were fired at an Oak Park street car last night, which came near resulting in the death of Motor man Baker.
 Car No. 80 on the Oak Park line, was nearing the Country Club. when a rat tie of firearms was heard. One of the balls struck the clothing of Motorman Baker in the shoulder of his coat.
 On board the car were a number of passengers. none of whom were injured. 1t was evidently the object of the as- sailants to kill or disable the motorman
 The shooting occurred shortly after 9 o'clock and a detail of police and deputy sheriffs were soon on the scene.
 As in other cases in connection with the strike. the officers found that the attacking party had disappeared before could be made.
 Reports were also received of shots being fired at cars number 5S and 51 on the Cloverdale line.
 Motormen Conover and Kramer. in charge of the two cars reported that twice along the line bullets were fired at them, but passed with no damage done.
 The shots at the cars being made un- der cover of darkness, the rioters could not be discovered.
 As has been the case for a number of days past, the Traction Company ran its cars yesterday the same as though no strike was ip progress. The officials of the company maintain their attitude that the strike is over so far as they are concerned.
 Strikers Are Seif-Supporting.
 A. l.. Behner, third international vice president of the Amalgamated Associa- ton of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America, who has been here for some time directing the strik- CTS, will leave Montgomery this morn ing for points in Ohio. where he Is call ed on official business in connection with the Association.
 Mir. Behner said last night that he was more hopeful of intimately win ming the strike than he had been at any time. The strikers, le said, are get ting their affairs arranged so they are upon a self-supporting basis, and are therefore prepared to prolong the strike indefinitely.
