Off for Florida

Messrs. Fl. B. Wood and }. A.
Whitelaw left last FRIDAY for a two
weeks hunt in Florida. They
were Joined in Richmond by Mr.
A, V. Huyler, Of New-York, VINO
owns a plantation in FLORIDA
Their outing will be in easy reacn
of Sarasota, where a number OF
Highlanders are spending the w'n'
ter, which will make it pleasant
for all. We feel sure that the he-
corder readers will unite in wish
lug the editor an enjoyable vaca-
ton and plenty of sport.
The fact that a. sportsman can
have a quail hunt on the not
sands of Florida while the molly
cottontails of Highland rest secure
in their snow-covered brush-heaps'
goes to prove what a great big
country w<live in, and how diver
sified the climate.

Attention. r. F. D. Patrons

The Postmaster at Monterey de-
sires to call attention to the prac'
tice Of some patrons Of rural delive-
ry Of placing loose coins in their
boxes each time they desire to dis
patch letters insted of supplying
themselves with postage in advance
of their needs.
This practice imposes hardship
on rural carriers in removing loose
coins from boxes and DELAYS them
on the service of their routes.
: The postmaster, therefore, ur.
gently requests that patrons OF
Iural delivery provide themselves
and keep on hand a supply OF
stamps CONSTANT with and in ad-
vance Of their needs. 1t is also
yery desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small de-
tachable cups IF wood or tin in
which to place coins, when neces
sary, in purchasing supplies Of
stamps.

Fresh Fish.

Our Jackson's River friends are
having some profitable sport DUR
ing the icy perod Of the past few
weeks. Fish are said to be more
abundant this season than Tor
manv years; and the large mum
Der brought to town within the
past ten days is evidence OF the
fact.
They are the white sucker varl-
ety. and many of them very fine
specimens. Several hundred have
been brought to town and hnd
ready market and at big prices
They are caught with snares
while the river is frozen over. II,
by mistake or carelessness, a troa'
is caught, it is put back-in anoth'
er pile.

rhora never was a time when
men all thought alike, or when the
honest judgment Of well-meaning
men was not sometimes at fault,
hit it does seem that there ought
to be unanimity of opinion as to
the duty of the county in the mat
ter Of the snow-blockade. We GER
tainIy are confronted by ''condi-
ton and not theory. !.
More than half the citizens OF
Highland are shut Oft from their
nearest shipping point. and
thew will be until April unless
some money is spent and some
work is. done. It will be a right
big task, but a burden shared by
all becomes no burden at all, or a
very light one, at least. The rain
and thaw of this week has been a
help.
The psalmist saws, "Trust in the
Lord and he will bring it TO pass" "
but he didn't have reference to the
Barlow mail. The policy of wait.
ing for the rise Of the mercury to
do a work Of this magnitude would
SAVIOR, of parsimony rather than
faith.
We do not know what course the
Supervisors have decided upon or
may pursue-perhaps thew may
have the work in progress before
our issue is out-hence this cannot
be construed as criticism, but
merely our view of a public and
important question.
(Since putting the above in type
we learn that the Board has taken
the matter in hand, as it was hoped
| it would do,

During the past few weeks many
persons have become honorary
members of the shut.in society. and
some, at least, have turned it to
profit. Mr. Henry A Slaven, coun-

the enforced solitude BY getting
up an elegant map or blue print OF
the big Jarvis Survey, a body OF
land extending from the Wander
pool Gap into Bath, and well.know

foundation there is great interest The
trend in establishing the National Col
lege at the American Capital will be to
raise the standard of patriotism, to give
the growing Poles an opportunity Of
studying the political aspect OF their
adopted country at first hand
Religious Significance.
From the religious standpoint the
foundation IS equally Significant The
Poles have been rather turbulent ele-
ment in some particulars. their pastors
aver, because they have never been
correctly comprehended nor treated by
the American hierarchy. A foundation
OF their own at the great papal estao-
lishment which came Into existence
through the wish or Leo XIII that the
American Catholics should have the
best educational advantages is an in
Centive TO their pride.
At the CATHOLIC university, the estab-
lishInent OF a national college for the
Poles is regarded as the frs step to
ward realizing the broad policy which
has been the dominant note IA the ad-
mlnistratlon Of Bishop O'Conneu. A col
Iege for the Catholic Poles Will no
doubt be followed in due course by
school, for Catholic Germans and ltal-
lans Ia French and tho various Slay
races Of Austria-Hungary.
Indicating that the scope Of the uni
Varsity has far OutgrOw2 the policy
which was followed in its early days is
the WeII-founded statement that Jesuits
viii soon establish an utilization with
the university This Union is nov being
considered by the Congregation Of
Studies in Rome. OF which Cardinal
Satolu Is the project, and by Father
WerHz the father general OF the Jesuit
order. The union mas been eiOquently

lac came 10 Washington.
Other University Changes.
It IS said that among the great
changes which are coming over the
/ Catholic University Is the one which
VIII Let down the bars Tor professors
| chosen from religious orders. IN the
| first days there was considerable acri-
F, mCny because the Rev, Dr. Hogan was
refused the chair OF canon law because
ne was a member Of the Sulpiuan order.
/ The same controversy arose later when
/ the Rev Dr. SearIe was appointed tenn
/ porary professor OF astronomy
Bisn0p OConneu has appointed a
/ learned Dominican on the theological
faculty, the Rev ID. J. Kennedy. the
/ Paulist, former prior Of the Dominican
College near the university.
Hereafter the policy OF the university
