,ric Railway Through This Section.

OF late there has been some \
excitement in financial circles

various coal field centers Of
Avise and Lee TO Jonesville and
ibe surrounding valley west
with railroad operated by
Electricity. This first appeared
I'm the Manufacturers Record
published at Baltimore, and
afterwards I'm the various news
papers The idee is that IL
would be a paying proposition
20 the coal fields TO connect
them with an agricultural sec
.tiou where they could buy all
their supplies near home and
save money, and at the same
time make money to the agri-
cultural section Of Lee. The
plan is 90 build a large dam in
the Powell's River somewhere
south Of Jonesville for the pur-
pose of FURNISHING power to
generate the electricity for rum
ming the railroad and electric
lights for the various towns.
Mr.. r. l.. Pennington is in
receipt Of a letter from Mr..
Alex. NJ. Allen, of Toronto,
Canada, "a pominent electric

Mr.. Allen says that ne has
looked over the proposition and
believes that it is one of most
practical and money paying in

and for the two sections Of the

Allen has successfully pro-
NOTED several enterprises of the

A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.
June Rose Time" Presented to Large
Audience Despite Oppressive Heat.

June Rose Time" was a success at
the Salt Lake theatre last night and
the pretty program as carried out by
the Junior and st. Cecilia choirs of ST
Mary's cathedral was a delight through
out to the large audience which at
tended despite the oppressive heat. The
concert was given in honor of the Ri
Rev. Laurence Seaman, and was by the
direction of Miss Nora Gleason. Sixty
children participated in the program,
some of them not more than years of
age. The pretty children and their
sweet singing were delightful features
of the evening. The singing of the Gro
min children of Ogden was much appre-
ciated. The ribbon drill by children from
st. Mary's academy was pretty num-
Der, and the solo by Ruth Killeen was
very well received. A Scotch dance
was given by Viola Service. Bessie
Service, Sadie Stevenson and Ivy Will
liams to bagpipe accompaniment, and
was one of the unique features of the
program. AT the conclusion of the pro-
gram Rev. W. K Ryan, representing
Rt. Rev. Bishop Seaman, addressed the
participants, presenting gold crosses to
those taking part. Roses were distrib-
uted by dainty girls in white The pro-
ceeeds of the entertainment go to the

KEARRS ST. AIMS
ENTERTAINS FRIENDS
Big Audience MarveIs at Tots
Proficiency in Short
Hand.

In honor of the conservation of the
Right Rev. Bishop Seaman, the Kearns
St. AIMS orphanage held its annual>en-
tertainment and commencement exer-
cises at the orphanage Tuesday night,
in which seventy-five of the children of
the institution took part. The recital
hall of the orphanage was filled to its
utmost capacity with the many friends
of the children, and the efforts of the
tots were applauded to the echo.
The feature OF the evening was the
operetta, entitled Red Riding Hoods
Rescue" which was put on by seventy
five children, ranging from to IA years
of age. Little girls representing butter
cups, bIuebells and roses, filled the hall
with the melody of their childish voices
and were applauded at the end of each
number by the enthusiastic audience.
The entertainment began with a cho-
rus of welcome by the children to the
Right Rev. Bishop Seaman. This was
followed with piano duets by the girls,
and songs by the boys.
One of the most interesting features
of the program was the examination
conducted before the audience, in stem
ography and typewriting. During the
test the girls sat at tables, facing the
audience, and the little boys, ranging
in age from 6 to u years, lined the
blackboards at each side of the room.
The teacher in charge of the class die
tated the regulation letter regarding a
shipment of lumber, and the little boys
at the blackboards wrote the letter in
shorthand, One of the little boys. who
wrote rather large characters on the
board, filed his allotted space and,
without pausing to find a new place on
which to write, drew fresh lines, and
finished the letter almost as soon as the
others.
At the conclusion of the test the pa
pers of the young people were exam
ined by F. E. McGurrin of the Salt
Lake Security & Trust company who
complimented the children on their ex-
cellent showing. Mr.. McGurrin makes
constant visits to the institution and
aids in the instruction of the children
in stenography. Elsie McNulty was the
winner of the gold medal offered each
year by the institution for the most pro-
ficient work.
The closing remarks were made by
the Very Rev. Dean Harris, who spoke
with much feeling of the splendid work
of the children

Art and England.

Booth Harrington, in his brilliant
fashion, was talking about the poet
Swinburne.
They buried Irving in the abbey"
he said. They let Swinburne be buried
without any official recognition what
ever. Yet Swinburne was to Irving as
diamond is to a pebble Actors like
Irving crop up every year or two; but
there was never a singer like Swim
burne. Neither Coleridge nor Shelley
nor Shakespeare could match that mu-
sic.
1.-THE English didn't appreciate him.
Only in France is art appreciated. The
English idea of art as well portrayed
in story Mrs Henniker Heatoh some
times tells.
Mrs. Henniker Heaton. a connection
of the poets, was showing to some la
dies miniatures of Swinburne's titled
relatives.
One of these ladies, as she studied
a miniature of Lord Ashburton, turned
to her daughter and said:

was so well connected. Remind me. the
next time we're at Nudes, to buy his
works P"

A Cool One.

A tall man. with very long face and
sleepy eyes, stood on the steps of Pic
cadilly club.
THAT is the Duke of Devonshire. -
said the American guide. THE Dukes
of Devonshire are noted for their sleep
mess. They are not unintelligent, but
they would always rather sleep than
eat-or play bridge, or hear music, or
smoke, or drink champagne.
ITO give you an idea of this young
mans imperturba ability" said the guide.
do you know that when he made his
maiden speech in the house of COM
mons in the old dukes day. he actually
stopped to yawn three or four times in
the course of his remarks?
Such an exhibition of GOODNESS had
never been seen in the house before
The premier, marveling over it, said:
A man who can yawn before a
crowded house in the midst of his first
speech is capable of rising to the high
est position in the land'''

PRESS NOTICES.
"JUNE ROSE TIME" SUCCESS
Large Audience Applauds Work of
Little Children in Excellent Per
Torrance at Salt Lake Theatre.


The oppressive heat last evening did
not serve to keep the people away from
the Salt Lake theatre, where was given
delightful entertainment by the chill
dren and young girls of the Junior and
St Cecilia choirs of st. Mary's cathe-
draL The theatre was we'll filled and
the audience manifested its approval in
enthusiastic and long-continued ap-
plause
The concert was in honor of the Right
Rev. Laurence Seaman of the Salt Lake
diocese, and was under the direction of
Miss Nora Gleason, organist at the ca
thedral, and director of choir singing.
The proceeds will be devoted to the or
gan fund. Those who participated in
the program numbered about sixty. All
of these were children, with one or two
exceptions. The chorus work was SUI
peru and showed the evidence of careful
and painstaking training. Some of the
little ones who took part were not more
than years of age
The ribbon drill by little girls from
st. Mary's academy was beautiful in
the extreme. Ruth Killeen sang the
solo part in a delightful drill in which
twenty-four young girls of St Cecilia
choir assisted. This company of girls
had been trained by Rex King.
The singing of the Cronin children of
Ogden is always pleasing. They were
at their best last night. A charming
feature was the Irish reel by Viola
Service, tiny little girl. A unique
number was the Scotch dance by Viola
Service, Bessie Service, Sadie Steven
son and Ivy Williams
AT the conclusion of the program Rev.
W. X. Ryan. on behalf of Ri Rev
Bishop Seaman, distributed a number of
gold crosses among the little girls. In
view of the fact that the entertainment
was called June Rose Time" it was
appropriate that roses should be dis
tributed by beautifully dressed flower

THE "HURRY-ouT" CATHOLIC.

Father Russell Takes to Task Those
Persons Who Hasten From the
Church Before the Services Arc
Over.
Writing in the Irish. Monthly of the
'Hurry-Out Catholic" who hastens from
the church before all is over, the veneer
able Father Matthew Russell asks the
question: How does he employ the
time he thus saves so carefully?'
What madness" he remarks, ito
hurry over our religious duty in order
to have more time for doing nothing, or
for doing something immensely less i'm
portant than the dudty that we leave
half done or much less we'll done than
we could do it if we gave to it full time
and our full attention.
"A very active professional man
broke down in health and came up to
consult the Dublin physicians He and
his son attended Mass in one of the
Dublin churches. At the end of the
Holy Sacrifice. while the altar was be-
ing prepared for Benediction, several
persons went away without waiting for
that beautiful and solemn rite. The dy-
ing man-fOr such he really waszhad to
drive to his hotel in a cab, and SOn the
way he said to- his son: You saw those
people-never do that You may want
that blessing yet And so the young
man did. If he is alive, 1 fear he needs
prayer; and if he is dead. 1 hope he
does. Some of those who scandalized
the good man by leaving the church be-
fore Benediction may have had valid
excuse for doing so; but, if they really
could not spare the few additional min
utes, it might have been we'll for them
to choose a different hour or place for
fulfilling their chief Sunday duty, if that
were within their power"

LAST Minute" Catholics

The last minute Catholic" is hardly
an edifying spectacle He hardly ever
escapes being late for Sunday Mass.
Though he has time a-plenty for other
things, he is the last one at the confess
sional at late hour on SATURDAY. night
He is also laggard in the matter of
his Easter duty. He puts it off and puts
it off until the last minute. 1t is bet
ter of course, to receive the PaschaI
communion at the last minute than not
at all, but what a sad commentary on
our faith and devotion if we have to be
driven to partake of that Bread of
Heaven which is given to us so gener-
ously. Let US not be last minute
Cathlics in fulfilling this duty this year.

Morning and Evening PRAYER.

Catholics should never forget the
salutary exercise of morning and even
ing prayer. 1t is apparently a small
matter, but its neglect is fraught with
serious danger. For we cannot lead the
supernatural life without Gods grace
and prayer is His condition of receiv-
ing grace.
AS grace is the daily food of the
soul, we need it daily. We must, there
lore, ask for it daily. We are recon-
mended to ask every day for this heav-
emily mamma of the soul when we are
told to say, Give us this day our daily
bread" If we do not ask for it we shall
not get it.
Loss of grace is, then, the effect of
emitting prayer and is followed by
powerlessness to resist the onslaught
of the enemy.l On the other hand, if
we are faithful to our daily prayer, our
