STRIKING LoURDEs MIRACLE
"Not Cure, But Resurrection" Said
Dr.. Boissarie.

The most recent cure recorded at
Lourdcs can, writes the Paris corre-
spondent of the Irish Catholic, only
be described as one of the most re-
markable of which the famous Shrine
of the Immaculate has been the scene,
and as signalizing in a most marked
way its golden jubilee. The subject Of
the cure was one Ernestine Guilloteau.
of st. Denis en- Gatine, Diocese Of
Poitiers. The poor sufferer was not
unknown at Lourdes, having acted for
five years as infirmarian to the sick
visitors to the shrine. The malady
that reduced her almost to the condi-
ton of a corpse was tuberculous per-.
itonitis. which finally infected her
whole frame. Despite medical care,
her, condition became such that she
lost almost two-thirds of her weight,
and was reduced absolutely to skir.
and bonc-a just-breathing skeleton.
Still under twenty-four years of :.ge,
she found her case pronounced hope
less by seven doctors, and so she re.
signed herself to the generous sacrifice
of her life. But voice within called
her to put her trust in Mary Immacu.

shrine. Her relatives and friends urE-
ed the absolute impossibility of one in
her condition being transported thirh

the stronger was heard by her the ir-
ward appeal. Her condition was %
desperate that, to aid her to die With

cf the governed, the government IS lnt
yet doing it's whole duty.
If Catholics or Protcstants or Jews
arc not desirous of using the public:
schools, why should they be taxed fo-
them? In other words of the Hon.
Bourkc Cochran, spoken in Carnegie
Hall in New York few months ago:
wherever instruction if afforded boys
and girls in those branches which ti.
State prescribes as necessary TO its
citizenship, the State should pay for
it. st = We believe that Catholics
should be left free to select Catholic
instructors for their children, and the
Jews to select Jewish instructors, and
the Presbyterians TO select Presbytc-
rian instructors, and the Methodists to
select Methodist instructors. Agaos-
tics should have the same right if thu
existing system were not go,iess
enough to satisfy them. We are will
ing that the agnostic shall share the
school fund, but VIC arc not willing
to give him the exclusive right 20 the
whole OF it,
1t may be said that this is the sv;
tenn now in force. Granted, but is it
fair? Just? Any professional high
waylnan might allcge the same justi-
fication or excuse for his injustice.
Is not the government for it's subjects ::
If then 1i.O00,O0O Catholic subjects
and many millions more Protestants
subjects of the United States do not
think the present school system the
best that their moncy-their taxes
deserves and can get, should nos an
effort be made to satisfy them?
1t may be said that the old, unjust
plan is American.
l deny the charge that to be AnIer-
ican one must bc an old fogy, be bad
and unfair, and think have shown
that the hoped-for change, the ncW
plan, would be good. fair, and ccono-
mic.
And yet some will shake their heads,
and say: ut is good, economic, fair
system, but Americans arc not gong
to be fair enough to adopt it,"
Again l refuse to believe this cha.g gc
and prefer to hope that suicides. anar
chistic plottings, dishonesty, and cor-
ruption in finance, inidelity in martial
relationships. divorces and the conse-
quent wreck of homes and scandal and
ruin Of children, the unrest of the IT,
religious, the enormous waste by
squandering fortunes that would SUP
port many needy families, these and
other ills that might be, would he
partly ameliorated, if not cured. by
introducing religion into our pubic
schools-all these make me hope that
before very long, if not for love, at
least from a sense Of justice, VIC
Americans will demand, will have, re-
ligion introduced into our put'ie

LINE OF STEAMERS TO

Captain w. p. Gray of PascO. Pro-

Pasco. Wash, May 16.-Plans are
being made and will probably be per-
fected whereby a company will be or
agnized in this city to build and oper-

lumbia river.
while it is yet in its infancy, the
undertaking will undoubtedly be car
ried out" said Captain w. P, Gray, of
this city, who is working in behalf Of
the proposed enterprise. THE idea is
to distribute stock among the farmers
and merchants throughout the inland
empire. thus making those who will
receive the direct benefit of the un-
dertaking. stockholders. Portland es-
pecially, will derive a great share of
the benefits which will be distributed
throughout the great northwest as
soon as we are given water transpor-
tation to the sea. With the continued
progress now being made in the CO.

Washington, May 16.-An unoffi-
cial announcement was made today
that President Roosevelt has, in strong
terms, called the attention Of Japan
to the continued influx OF japanese
laborers and that the mikado has
been informed that unless the matter
is not regulated the United States will
be compelled to adopt an exclusion
law.
There was big drop in the num-
ber OF japanese arrivals Immediately
after the passage of the resolution, last
year putting the passport agreement
into effect. but the number of brown
men coming in is steadily crawling
UP.
AS Japan would strongly oppose any
action looking TO legalization on the
policy OF exclusion, President Roose-
welt decided to leave that country to
regulate matters so that it would not
suffer any humiliation. But as he
mikado has been slow in stopping the
influx the president feels that 1t is his
duty TO call halt. even If he has to
address remonstrance TO Japan.

Soldiers May BE Needed.

Cleveland, Ohio. May 16.-Con-
dltions early this afternoon did
indicate that the militia might be
needed but at present the police seem
amply able to handle the situation.
Three arrests have been made. Fig
ures given out by the union sho over
1900 men are out.
First serious disturbance occurred
near the Lakeview barns when a stone
was hurled at Chief OF Police Kohler
by strike sympathizers. The rock
struck him but did not inflict Sc
rious wound. A squad OF policemen
were driving back the crowd about
the barns when the chief was hit.
Whenever an attempt is made to op-
crate car It is invariably followed
by a bowling mob which attempts to
force the men to desert their posts.
