hangs the photograph Of womanly
face Of rare sweetness, strength, and
serenity. The key to this life is found

printed and enclosed in the same frame
with the photograph:
You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is exquisite. as was the per.
feet bloom Of her youth. She seems
condensed sweetness and grace. You

long and happy one. Here are some
Of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She understands the art Of enjoy
ment.
She kept her nerves we'll in hand
and inflicted them on no one.

She cultivated a good disposition.
She mastered the art Of saying
pleasant words.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came &c
her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe that all the world was
wicked and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She retained an even disposition and
made the best Of everything.
She did whatever came t. her cheer
fully and we'll.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing. but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged

CENTENARY OF MOUNT ST
MARYS.

Mount st. Mary's College. "the era
die of bishops" is making preparations
for the celebration October 14th and
18th of the centenary of it's foundation.
The college was founded in 1908 by
Father John Dubois, who was after
wards Bishop of New York. Invita-
tions to participate in the celebration
have been sent to church dignitaries
and Catholic laity throughout the
country who are alumni Of the insti-
tuition. President Roosevelt has been
invited, as has also Attorney General
Bonaparte, who is graduate Of the
institution.
Mount st. Mary's has turned out
many famous men. 1t was there that
Archbishop John Hughes of New
York worked as gardener to pay his
tuition. Cardinal Mccloskey, Ameri-
cas- first cardinal, was educated there.
The names Of other famous graduates
are Archbishop Purcell, Elder Laugh
lin, Bishops Watterson. Chattard and
Spalding. Famous laymen who re-
ceived their education there include
Attorney General Bonaparte, Justice
White, Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, Mcsherry, Maryland's
historian, George Miles. the poet, Gen.
eral Anderson, the first American
commander at Manila.
Emmetsburg, Maryland, the seat of
this college. was in the path Of the
great armies of the North and South.
On the college grounds. during the war,
the armies of General Lee and those
Of the North in turn made their camp.
Students enlisted in either army and
lost their lives in battle. These were
buried from the college hall. 1t is an
historic institution and the celebra-
tion next month will attract to the old
college alumni from every section of
the country.

PRIMARY RESULTS.

Results Of the primary election in
Minneapolis are, on the whole, salts.
factory. An unmistakable determine
ton on the part of the voters to have
a change is shown. The cry against
the City Hall gang was effective. Per-
haps in no single instance is it shown
better than in the republican contest
for sheriff. Mr.. Lydiard was credited
with having as good an individual or
ganization as has ever been perfected
in this county. His position as city
clerk, however, was an obstacle which
he could not overcome.
Alderman Mumm Of the Third ward
is the sole survivor Of those credited
with being members Of the combine
in the city council. His margin is so
small that it presages his defeat at
the November election.
In view Of the very active campaign
made by Mr.. Heinrich for the demo-
cratic nomination for mayor. the sue
cess OF Mayor Haynes should be en-
tirely satisfactory to his friends. The
vote for the republican candidates for
mayor shows a falling off Of more than
10000 from that Of two years ago,
while the vote for the democratic can
didates shows an increase of about
$500. Mayor Haynes received more
votes this year with contest than
he did two years ago, when there was
no contest Of Importance.
The defeat Of present members Of
the school board for denomination is
perhaps the most surprising. They
were strongly entrenched and made a
determined effort. but the public dis
content with school board methods ac-
complished their defeat.
The Inauguration OF voting machines
has greatly simplified the holding Of
primary elections. II some method
could be adopted that would shorten
the campaign preceding primary cleo
ton. the objection to the primary law
would largely disappear. The people
are becoming accustomed to nominal
ing their own candidates and they will
resist any attempt to return to old
methods. There is, however. room for
improvement. and the coming legisla-
ture will. doubtless. be called upon to
rnake some amendments.

The lines have been formed in the
State of New York. Hughes has been
renominated by the republicans and
Lieutenant Governor Chanler by the
democrats. The campaign in the state
OF New York this fall will be real
contest. Both parties will continue tc
claim it. 1t is a doubtful state and
the probability is that the election will
turn upon the result in the Empire
State.

Tawney and McCleary have been
nominated. Their democratic oppon-
ents should insist upon answers to the
following questions:
Do you favor the retention of joseph
Cannon as Speaker of the House of
Representatives?
Do you favor a revision downward
o. the tariff schedules?
Upon the answer to these questions
should depend their election.

A splendid and most deserved trib-
ute was that paid at Mandan, N. D., to
very Rev. D. v. Collins on the fortieth
anniversary of his ordination to the
priesthood. which occurred on Tuesday,
September 8. Many Of the business
houses were closed between the hours
OF ten and twelve o'clock and the pub
lie schools granted the children a holi-
day. All Mandan seems to have Joined
in the occasion and many from the
outside districts in Morton county also
shared in the honors to the devoted
priest. Solemn High Mass was cele-
brated at st. Joseph's church. Rt. Rev.
John Stanley, bishop Of North Dakota,
being amongst the number present.
Father Collins, who has thus been 50
signally honored by his friends and
neighbors in his own home, has a large
circle Of acquaintance in the north
west. all OF whom will most sincerely
join with the people of Mandan in ex-
tending to him their hearty congraula-
lions on the event thus referred to,
coupled with their best wishes for his
future. y

WEATHER WILL BE LADYLKE,
 THOUGH RAIN FELL HEAVILY

The weather will be very ladyiike. today declares the bureau. Fair and serene she will show herself, sunny tempered and warm-hearted, but will not effusiveiy display those character istics After A spirited irritation with the clustering low barometer area and the conventional high barometer area, she now leans trustingly toward the latter, and succeeding the unsettled frame of mind with which she was formerly afflicted comes the unrufiied temperament productive of delightful calm. Immoderately fair and moder- ately warm Is the synopsis of the re- port for today.
 Clouds hung heavily over the South Atlantic and the East Gulf States yes- terday. In all of the cotton states ex- cept Oklahoma. precipitation occurred. and in portions of South Carolina, North Carolina. Louisiana. Arkansas, Mississippi heavy rainfalls descended. A low barometer area over the Rocky Mountain region caused warm weather in that section.
 Conditions in Denver were pleasant and were not disturbed oven bx the horde of politicians strenuously per- forming there. At 6 o'clock yesterday the thermometer in the convention town registered 54. and at no time du- ring the day dId the mercury rise high CT than 80. The delegates. it Is stated. were the warmest things in the city but even they could set nothing afre.
 The Alabama river is accepting plac- Idly whatever 1t has to. The slight rains in this section have occasioned a small rise which will continue today but no material elevation of the sur face will be produced by the moist con- trlbutions received to date.

PITCHERS LEAD IN HITTING
 AS THEY HIT FIVE IN SEATS

The Montgomery Amateurs and West Montgomery, small boy teams of the city, played 6 double-header yesterday afternoon. 1t ls presumed that both games were very exciting but the au- thoritative announcement cannot be made because of the fact that no score of the first gsme was given. The sec- ond game was lcalled at the end of the fifth inning on account of fatigue or darkness with the score 2 to in favor of the Amateurs.
 The summaries of the games are very interesting. The feature of the first game was the hitting of both pitch CTS, i've batters being struck by the pair of them. There were no fatali- ties. A*S w4+
 The bright particular star of the sec ond game was Shelkofsky. pitcher for the AmatauRs. who let the West End boys down without semblanee of a hit during the i've innings that the struggle lasted. It is rufnored that the defeated team will contest this game on the ground that the Amasurs' pitch or has a professional name.
 The line up was as follows:
 Amatcurs--GIlmer, lf.: Hawell, ss. {; shelkofsky, p. & 2b.: Thorn, cf.; Kelly. c.; Haryeli, If; Wilson, 2b B. D.; Knight, 3b.; Cheatem, 1b.
