ICE JAM CONTINUES. Water Rises Forty Feet Above Normal In Niagara Gorge.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, April 1o.-The ice Jam in the Niagara gorge continues and between this city and Lewiston the water has risen forty feet above nor mai.
 The plant of the Ontario Power Com pany, that of the Hydraulic Power Company Is also seriously interferel with by the ice. The steamer Maid of Mists landing here has been swept away and the upper steel arch bridge and the suspension bridge near Lew iston are both threatened. The ice in the gorge Is packed so heavily that 1t Is impossible to cross on It at Devils Hole. Engineers who examined 1t this morning are of the opinion that It would be futile to attempt to dyna- mite.
 The Great Gorge Railroad is entirely out of commission, its tracks being covered with ice in places to the height of fifteen feet and washed out in others.

in each thousand failures.
 These classiflcations, 1t will be noted, are. in some instances. purely arbitra- ry, and overlap one another. but not of the showing as a whole.
 The failures said to have been due to lack of capital-342 out of every l. 000--form the most significant feature oe the entire exhibit. They mean that more than a third of those who failed in business last year lowed their mis- fortune to lack of working capital, and that they tried to do more trade than their resources warranted. The enter prises represented in this compilation included business concerns of all de- scriptions, individual and corporate, together with stock exchange houses, and the figures graphically Illustrated the dangerous habit of American bus- mess men to undertake operations be- yond the supporting power of their available means.
 That only eighteen out of every r. 900 of the failures in 1908 are attrib- uted to competition, indicates that con- ditions in that respect are far less dis tressing than a certain class of aigita- tors would have the public believe. A far more disauieting showing is that relating to failures due to fraud. That i1S out of every 1000 features should have heen due to lawless practices de- notes a condition of business morals in which the need of improvement is both large and urgent.
 How little the clements of gambling, the buRbear of reformers of certain classes, operates as wrecker of busi- ness enterprise. appears in the state mant that only ten out of every 1000 failures in 1908 were due to that cause. In the light of these figures. "stoclx gambling" must be acquitted of many grave charges so frequently made against it. and the last item in the list, loosely called speculation" has reference to this.

Meantime, Judging from results. Trinity College is the only place in Ireland where a Catholic can get a good education without danger to his religion. There is nothing whatever which the au- thorities of Trinity are more careful about then the freedom and security of the religion of the Catholics who go there, but every effort is made out side to keep the Catholics ignor- ant of this fact. Only once in living memory has professor or lecturer In Trinity been known to interfere with the religion of a Catholic there. and the promptness of his suppression by the board is on record as guide to all successors. There Is no educated man of any creed In Ireland who be = lieves that the Bishops can be really religion of Catholics in Trinity.
