will be ample opportunity for every

the small hats take various shapes

very wide turn on one side and run
rapidly to almost nothing on the front
and opposite side with brim at the
back. which follows its own will, Most
OF the piquancy that rests in the small
hats is caused by these rather freaky

trines she taught when Peter occupied the throne,
moving majestically to the present day mistaken
from the rock foundation on which she was founded
That the Catholic church will continue in the same
old course is evident from the words of our Lord
that 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
All that the church teaches has come down from
the days Of our Savior. The PRONUNCIATION of the
encyclical against 'Modernism"-is only warning
to the faithful to beware of "false prophets who
come to you in the clothing of sheep but inwardly
are ravenous wolves"
When the foundation is right the superstruc-
ture is invincible against the of irreligion
and error which lead so many into the abyss of in
fidelity. There is nothing about the Catholic
church. It's beliefs its teachings its moral lessons
which will not stand the test of reason. There is
no test of orthodoxy which will not bear the light
of investigations 1t is true that there need be
test of reason applied to the tenets of the faith but
that those tenets will stand the test is proof abso
lutte of their divine authenticity. True Catholics
cannot be radical and they cannot be conservative
Truth requires neither to be bolstered up by vain
argument nor superficial reasoning. 1t will prevail
The church commends itself to the best thought of
the modern world as it has in every age since it
was instituted

POOR OLD NEW YORK.

The extent of the inefficiency of the municipal
government of the city of New York is brought out
by the meeting of the joint legislative committee
appointed to investigate the financial condition of
the city. 1t has been shown that the municipal
funded debt has more than doubled in the past ten
years 1t is also shown that the budget of the city
has increased in the same period by bag
atelle of sixty sixtyve millions of dollars.
And New Workers. of them at least, want a
reform which will end this eternal increase of their
Indebtedness and end this annual increase in the
amount they have to pay to keep up the municipal
expenditures. They are asking each other what is
to be the end of the matter. They want know just
what limit will be placed and when the doubling of
the debt of the city every ten years will stop.
The condition has, of course, been characterized
as scandalously extravaganza, and charges of graft
ing are so freely made that some people don't be-
lieye it possible for a city administration to be
corrupt as that of New ork is said to be by the
formers. New York is a great big city. 1t is by
far the largest in the western hemisphere and, be-
ing the largest ought to set az example in munic-
ipal government which would be followed with prof
it by the rest of the cities of the country. But if
other cities did follow the example of New York,
and individuals and business houses and trusts did
likewise, soon there would be nothing the people
of the country could do but repudiate their debts
and start all over again. Doubling ones debt every
ten years has to come to an end. The good people
of New York seem to be fixing up deal for their
posterity to repudiate or else they depending
on some fortuitous circumstance to save them from
their own folly

CLERICAL AND OTHER FRAUDS.

The standing card from Bishop Seaman, in
serted weekly in the Intermountain, and warning
the public against imposters and frauds soliciting
subscriptions under the guise of priests and nuns
was called forth by impositions inflicted upon the
people of this diocese some years ago. As the mem
ory of the public in many instances is short-lived,
it was deemed advisable to keep the warning"
stantly before the eyes of our readers to protect
them from the fraud and trickery practiced upon
the creduity of the unsuspecting few.
Three years ago in Philadelphia penitentiary
"bird' with a clean shave, a clerical suit and a
Roman collar, gathered in quite a snug little sum
of money on the plea that he was sent out by the
Bishop of Honolulu to solicit aid for the poor
starving lepers of Molokai, God help them"
Three weeks ago the Chicago New World lev
eled severe editorial against organized band of
alleged priests and nuns residing in pretentious
residence on Thrty-sxth street, Chicago, and bear
ing in large letters over the front entrance the pa
thetc appeal, "Orphans' Home" The New World
called the attention of the police this house and.
asked them to investigate.
The following week detectives made sudden
raid upon the alleged orphan asylum and captured
four young women who ranged in age from fifteen
to twenty years. i he mead OF the '11Ome, Antonio
de Lubicz who sometimes, it is said, represented
himself to be an "Old Catholic" priest, sometimes
an Independent Polish priest escaped despite the
extra precautions of the police.
Brought before the Inspector, after the arrest,
the youthful nuns admitted that the alleged orphans
in the asylum were treated brutally. They also adj
mitted that carousing took place in the institution
long after midnight and then made charges of i'm
morality. Mrs Mary Pillar, formerly a domestic in
the asylum, declared;
II never heard such profane and vile-speaking
man as Father De Lublicz was He never thought
of the little girls he wronging and causing to
beg nor of the orphans who often heard him. but he
swore" Just like a trooper. The home should have
been raided long ago, for 1 have seen drunken ca
rousals in the place at all hours of the day and night
He knew that the police his TRAIL for every
night he crawled right into the home as if he ex-
pected to be caught. | doubt if the police will get
him now but will surely appear against him when
he is caught"
The young women asserted that they were all
forced to beg. Each morning it was their duty to
don nuns habits and go forth among the Poles Be-
hemians and people of every race, soliciting charity
They usually turned over large sums at evening and
at night discarded their nuns robes for street

MARITIME WARFARE.

As long ago 1856 the powers met in Paris and
signed code of laws to be observed in naval war,
fare. This code of laws has been known ever since
as the Declaration of Paris, and was signed and
agreed to by the representatives of every important
naval power of the world save and except the
United States, This country did not sign the dec
laration and never has signed the reason for the re-
fusal being that our government was unwilling to
commit itself to the abolition of privaeering unless
the European powers would at the same time agree
to the exemption of private property from seizure
at sea, just as on land Although not signatory to
the Declaration of Paris the United States govern
ment has always followed the letter and spirit of
that historic document.
There is to be another conference on the sub
ject this month in London, on the invitation of the
British government. The object of the conference
is to consider the Declaration of Paris to add to it
what may be found to add to the responsibility of
on the ocean waves, and thus make more
plete the code of maritime warfare. 1t is also in
tended that matters which were left incom-
plete by the second Hague congress shall be taken
up and made a part of the agreement of the pow
ers.
The laws concerning the seizure and destruction
of contrahand will likely be considered, and the
rights of belligerents to destroy vessels seized at
sea which they are unable to take into port will
ceive attention. In fact, the whole code of laws
governing naval warfare will be considered, and
definitions made of many disputed points in the
matter.
Practically all of the naval powers of the earth
will be represented at the conference, including the
United States, Great Britain, France, Germany
Japan, Austria Hungary, Russia Italy, Spain and
Holland. The questions to be considered have to
do with war and war only but out of the conference
may grow a stronger desire fo> peace, and if So
then the results of the conference will have been
worth while
