SATURDAY EVENING, MAR. 20. 1909.

KING VICTOR, of Italy, had an inter-
view Yesterday with Mr.. J. P. Morgan
10 which the former appealed to the lat
Ter to assist 10 financing the kings plan
10 wipe out the Black Hand and similar
organizations through education. The
king doubtless means well, bat If be i'm
AGNES education will metsmOrphose
persons of criminal instinct he will
sooner or later revise his opinions. 1t
has certainly failed 10 the United States.
A minister Of the Gospel who OCCASION
ally preached in penitentiary was
asked by 8 friend how be brought his
remarks down to the level OF inmates oil
such su Institution. The reverend gen.
tlsmau replied by observing that there
was not the remotest probability OF shoot
ing over the heads of his hearers. %
the contrary, he continued, minister
had to be careful in talking, SIS q large
percentage of the inmates we're men not
only Of intellect, bat Of educational &C.
auirements. Some we're doubtless better
scholars than the preacher Former
bank presidents, cashiers, head CLERKS
and Others highly educated we're In the
audience. twill be remembered that 8
few years ago former government Of
fetal was sent to the peniteniiarY from
Washington. Before leaving for bic
new home be requested permission to
take his Greek books with him. The
cad case of Eugene Aram, one of the
greatest scholars 10 England, is proof
conclusive that education will not deter
q naturally bad man from the commits
sion OF crime.

MANOR HOUSE BURNED.

The manor house at Northampton,
Lord FAirfax's estate in Prince Georges
county, Nd, was burned to the ground
W ednesday night. Dstails Of the FIRE
are lacking. For the last eight years,
since the death of Right Hon. John
Conlee Fairfax, the family has lived at
the colonial home only during the sum-
mer months, aud It was left in winter in
care of the servants. Il was expected by
members Of the family to open the home
next summer IS usual.
The old home was an historical land
mark. Within it slept many celebrities.
1t is said by the family that President
James Madison spent the night there
during thu battle of Bladensburg. Presi-
dent Madison occupied the room which
was used by tbs late Baron John Contee
Fairfax as a bedctamber. A number Of
gardens and terraces, designed by l. En-
FAINT, the famous architect, who is re-
.ponsible for many OF the parks and
BEAUTIFUL streets OF Washington, add ed
to the general beauty OF the HOMESTEAD.
The plantation was purchased BY the
late Lord Fairfax 10 civil war times, aud
is the birthplace of bis seven children,
six of whom are living, including Lord
Albert Kirby Fairfax.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN.
Not Blood Disease-cured by Oil of
Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
enormously treated as such, but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only skin disease and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist, DR.. D. ID. Dennis,
first discovered the eczema germ ana
his discovery was quickly taken up in
both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at the
same time heal the skin, DR.. Dennis
compounded oil of wintergreen, thy
MOL glycerine, etc. The remedy is a
liquid not mere salve, hence it sinks
right into the pores of the skin.
Washing with this oil of wintergreen
compound seems to take the itch away
at once; soon the scales drop away
and the disease disappears. McGrath

A LECTURE
ON CONFESSION
Given Last Evening at St. Marys Cath
ole Church by Rev. George
GisIinser Was Largely
Attended.
FIRST DURING LENT
Priest Can Under No Consideration
Reveal Slightest Sin Heard in
confesson-WhatF Father
GisInger Said.

Last evening Rev. Geo Giglinger,
pastor of st. Marys Catholic church,
gave the first of a series of lectures
which will be given every Wednes-
day during Lent.
The subject of last evenings talk
was Confession. He said in part:
Confession was instituted by Christ.
MS statement was m de clear by
quotations from the Bible. 1t is lust
as important, he said, as the Mass
and other essentials. The soul like
the body needs physician in time Of
sickness. To cure the ills of the hui
man body we are forced to take med
icine which is often distasteful; and
just SO it is with the soul. Confess
sion is not matter of choice either
for priest or for layman. 1t may be
true that some people are not much
better after confession, but this is
not the fault of the Sacrament but it
is the fault of the people The Non
Catholic says, II confess to God.' a
Catholic says, Il confess to a priest
who takes Gods place There would
be great rejoicing among the clergy
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-02-25
if confession could be done away with.

If confession could be done away with,
II someone could bring out text
from the bible to prove that it is SUI
fcient to confess to God. But the
question is, is there power given to
men to forgive sin" In proof of this,
a passage from the scriptures was
quoted, Whose sins We shall forgive
they are forgiven, whose sins We shall
re-ain they are retained" 1t would
seem impossible to some that priests
can forgive sins, since they themselves
are sometimes as bad as others. but
that has nothing to do with the case.
Whatever he does in his official ca
pacity is valid, no matter how bad
he may be. A priest can under no
consideration reveal the slightest sin
heard in confession; If necessary he
must even lay down his life before
breaking the seal of confession. If it
be true that come people are worse
after going to confession, they should
not be allowed to do SO any more but
should be even driven away from it.
In conclusion FIR. Ciglinger said that
the lecture on next Wednesday even
ing would be on Miracles, viewed from
religious and scientific standpoints.

BAKERS BELIEVE
WILEY ALL RIGHT
Pass Resolution to the President Of

The bakers of the United States be-
l1eve that DR.. Wiley is all right in his
stand for pure food and his objec-

Mr.. President: The executive com
mittee of the NationaI Association of
Master Bakers, at regular meeting
held in Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 9th,
1909, adopted the folliwng resolu,
tions:
whereas, it appears in the public
press and through other sources that
series OF bitter personal attacks are
being made on DR.. Harvey w. Wiley
chief of the bureau of chemistry, de
partment of agriculture, and chief of
the food inspection board, and
Whereas, This abuse, presumably
fostered by certain selfish food pro.
ducing interests, are unwarranted at
tacks on a faithful public officer,
striving to do his full duty, There
fore be it
Resolved. That the executive com
mittee of the nationa. association, rec
ognizing the honesty and integrity OF
DR.. Wiley, do most heartily endorse
his efforts to keep pure and unadul

WANT REINSTATEMENT
Commercial Club is Making Strenuous
Efforts to Have keokuk Rein
stated in Daily Weather
Reports.

Through the cooperation of Post
master Moorhead and Secretary Ken
drick of the Commercial Club every
effort is being made to bring about
an Improvement in the mail service
on the southbound Burlington train
No. II. This mail which is due in
heokuk at $40 a. M. is vitality inn
portant to the business interests of
Ke2kuk, especially the jobbing inter-
ests, inasmuch as this mail brings a
large number of orders to our job
bers, watch can be filled and the
goods started on their way the same
day when the mail is on time; where
as, when the mail is late the filling
of these orders is delayed from one
to two days, causing not only an an
noyance but also great injury to our
Jobblng interests. A thorough invest
1gation of the cause of this delay and
correction of the same have been
promised both Postmaster Morhead
and Secretary Kendrick by the Chief
of the Mail Service Department at
Washington d. C. and the rail roads
involved.
The Commercial Club is also max
ing strenuous effort to have keokuk
reinstated in the daily weather re-
ports published in the leading metro
politan newspapers. For many years
the reports from Keokuk appeared in
these daily publications, but few
years ago this city was unceremoni-
ously dropped. 1t is not only of vast
Importance to keokuk to have these
reports appear daily in the Chicago,
st. Louis and other metropolitan pa
pers, but it is also important to the
farmers living in this vicinity, mas
much as thousands of dollars worth
of property have been saved by the
farmers in the years past by being
advised of approaching storms, cold
weather and floods. Mr.. Kendrick
reports favorably in his effort to have
Keokuk thus reinstated.
