Rechad Pacha the public slight Of asking the
Porte, when he had already been gazetted as

THE WORD CATHOLIC" DEFINED.
Jesuit Writer Traces It's Origin and Explains
It's Use.


Catholic The word catholic occurs in the
Greek classics, 9. O., in Aristotle and Polybius,
and freely used by the earlier Christian writer's
IN what may call its primitive and non-ecclesas-
tical sense. Thus meet such phrases as "the
catholic resurrection" dustin Martyr the catholic
goodness OF God" (Tertullian) the four catholic,
winds CIrenaus), where should now speak Of
the general resurrection the absolute univer-
sal goodness Of God the four principal wonds-
etc. The word seems IN this usage 10 be opposed
TO partial or particular, and familiar example
OF this conception still survives IN the ancient
phrase Catholic Epistles applied those OF St
Peter, St Jude etc-, which called being
addressed not 70 particular local communities but
10 the Church at large.
The combination the Catholic Church" is found
for the first time in the letter St Ignatius to the
Sulyrnaans, written about A D. 10. The words
'Wheresoever the bishop shall appear there
the people be, where Jesus may be. there is
the universal Church" However in view OF the
text, difference OF opinion prevails as to the

The course OF study Is divided into grades and
EUb-grades TO correspond exactly to the grad

This permits e child 10 change from one 10 the
other without loss ot time. At the present
uIns new course OF study is being prepared to
replace that prepared ten years ago. There

FIVE NEW SCHOOLS A YEAR.

Nor all o. the parishes have schools In Man
haitian for instance, while there are ninety four
parishes. there are sixty schools The schools
ere housed and supported by the parishes in
vhich they are located, from which fact arises
-He name which has been applied to them,
perochiaI schools. Should there be children in
ether parishes whose parents desire them 70 at
tend church school. they are permitted 70 enter
the nearest parish school without expense.
The system in the metropolitan district IS
growing q the rate Of five schools a year. F1v.
Years ago II the boroughs Of Manhattan. The
Bronx and Richmond and in Yonkers there were
only ffty-nine schools. To-day the number has
been increased TO eighty-nine al the rate OF
fve for each year. The value OF the buildings
averages 10000 each. There are few valued
- from $4,000 10 100000. Every effort is
made 70 have them freproof and fire drills are
3 part Of the school life Of the children The
value Of the school property in the metropolitan
district is put At S5oO0Oc0.
One Of the reasons. doubtless. for the increase
IN the number Of the parochiaI schools is the
great influx OF Immigrants from different parts
ot Europe. The school in the parish OF old St.
Pstrick's which once was used largely by chill
dren q Irish parentage, to-day is filed with
Italian children IN the diocese there are thir-
teen schools for German eleven for italian, six

WARNING.

The same men who have always con- spired to defeat me are still at it. With them it is anything and anybody to de- feat Donaghey. The conspiracy for ever starts from Caldwell X Drake, the State Capitol contractors and their friends and henchmen. They are still desperately fighting.
 When their candidate McFarlane withdrew. it was thought they were down and out. But now, McFarlane, as press agent for Prof Hinemon, is filing the daily papers with bogus tele- grams telling of Hinemons growing strength.
 Who was the headline speaker at the prohibition meeting at Little Rock a few days ago: The attorney of Cald- we'll X Drake.
 And why was no one allowed to speak at this prohibition meeting except in the interest of Prof. Hinemon? Be- cause Prof Hinemon is now the only candidate who favors the completion of the Capitol by Caldwell & Drake.
 Hon. George Thornburg, Rev. E. A.. Tabor, Rev. J. J. Hurt and nearly every temperance worker in the state have disparaged this movement. Rev. w. T. Amis, who spoke in the meeting, admitted in published interview that would receive more votes than both my opponents.
 The race is still where it has always been-between MT. Kirby and myself. Hinemon has scattering vote but everyone that is cast for him is lost to the voter and is in favor of Kirby.
 Caldwell X Drake want Hinemon governor. If they can't get him they want Kirby. McFarlane is making a frenzied effort to drive the votes of the people against me and toward either of my opponents.
 But the people will not be deceived. They know that Caldwell & Drake and their representative are not the proper persons to draw the lines in Arkansas politics for statewide prohibition or for any other policy of government.
 l ask my friends to spurn the lies that are being sent out against me and to cast their votes for the man of the people. GEORGE W.DONAGHEY.

Beautify the Town.

While the W. c. T. U. is more interested in the cleansing of the bodily temple than it is in remov ing the unsightly ash barrel, ,etc., yet it believes so strongly in the influence of enviro n m ent in moulding character, that this beautiful morning while nature is so fast putting on her most beautiful garments and the sweet smelling flowers are on every hand we can not help asking the question, Ought we not to begin to beautify our homes and our town?" For instance, that old pile of rubbish that has been staring us in the face all winter, and we've wished a thousand times it were away, why not get out and move it or burn it? Let us clean up and burn up all the old useless trash that lies in the back of our homes and stores, yes and the papers and things in the middle of our streets, too. There IS no reason why we should not have the prettiest little .own of the state and we believe we will have it if each one of us will get busy and do the work that suggests itself to us in and around our homes and places of business. Most of the mem bers of the town council are young and enterprising, and they've done some admirable work. Now, let them give a cleaning up order, and make us all get busy.
