More clearly every day the world
understands that in the life and at.

poisonous serpents of Africa do not
kill as many human beings in ten
years as the tsetse fly Stays in one.
The tigers and cobras of India kill
their thousands every year, but the

IKE was still standing with the

Ethel. when he awose to the
realization OF what her words

anything In the world should make

TWO NOBLE MARTYRS.

How beautiful it Is to read of the
glorious loyalty to Christ's mandate
to render to Caesar the things that
are Caesars and to God the things
that are Gods, manifested by the
great Englishman who refused to
take the oath acknowledging the
British Caesars as TIE rulers of Gods
church in England, demanded by the
of Bishop Fisher that when he was In
prison for refusing to take the oath Of
supremacy some OF his friends used to
visit him, urging all sorts of reasons
why he should comply with the de-
mands Of the king. Wishing to rid
himself of such tempters, he told them
that if they would come to him on a
certain day he would follow their advice
on condition that they answered. one
agreed upon, and his friends came back
at the appointed hour. The question
was: What shall it profit man If
hi, gain the whole world and suffer the
loss of his own soul" His friends re-
tired and Bishop Fisher won his mar
tyr's crown.
A similar story is told of Blessed
Thomas More whiic locked in his
prison cell says the Catholic Messenger
of Davenport, Ia His wife used to come
to him often, pleading that he might
obey the king for the sake of his
family. In reply lie asked her one
day how long she thought him likely
to live, supposing he obeyed the
kings command. She answered that
he would likely live tor twenty years
at least IF you tad said twenty
thousand years. there might have been
some show of reaso J." he answered,
but what are even twenty thousand
years Of life on earth in comparison
with eternity?" He, too, won his
crown of martyrdom.
Both were thus able to say before
the judgment of Christ: 20 Lord,
Caesar demanded that l accept him,
instead of Thee, as the ruler of Thy
church. but I laid down my life on
earth for Thy commandment

4 MEMORABLE DAY in UTAH.

A great Catholic event, worthy OF
mention, occurred last Sunday-the
Feast of the Assumption-in Salt Lake
City when the new Cathedral Of St
Mary Magdalen was dedicated to the
service of God. In me- gnitude and style
of architecture this grand edifice is the
finest temple OF worship west Of the
Missouri River 1t has seating capac-
ity Of 1900.
When we reflect that the Diocese OF
Salt Lake is but 10 years old and has
a Catholic population Of only 10000
scattered over an area Of 153,76s square
miles (for it includes all Utah and six
counties of Nevada) we are surprised
that Rt. Rev. Bishop Seaman and his
faithful clergy, numbering "a, have
been able to accomplish such an under
taking as the erection Of this costly
building. The following description OF
it is given in the Chi.ago Record Her
aid: ..... ..
"The cathedral of Salt Lake is, with
out exception, INTELLECTUALLY the finest
ecclesiastical structure west of the
Missouri. Resting on an imperishable
foundation of massive blocks Of gran
lite, the great building occupies COM

tiers of the city and ir. parts to the sur

NEW AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND.

Last week the news came from Lon
don that Ambassador Whitelaw Reid
desires to represent or misrepresent
the United States at the Court Of ST.
James for another year. 1t is said that
his wife, who Is charmed with English
aristocratic society, wants to stay a
little longer in merry england, and that
King Edward, who has enjoyed Reid's
sion, desires him to continue in office.
Why not let Reid rer,ain? He is per-
soma grata to his majesty and the
nobility of Great Britain and has all
the money he wants tn entertain them.
He wants to make lavish display OF
his wealth and does not care for a
salary. His lordly residence costs him
$4,000 year and lis annual stipend
from the United States is mere baga-
telle in comparison. = here are Ameri-
cans who think that Whitelaw Reid is
not fit representative Of the Ameri-
can republic, but VINO cares for what
they think? He represents the Ameri-
can plutocracy, and they are ruling the
United States at the rresent time.
Reid is just as good as some of his
predecessors. Bayard. Lowell, Phelps
and Choate were no better than Reid
They had not his wealth, but they made
To i.I,
aristocracy and were proud Of their
Anglo Saxon descent The Democrats
were as bad as the Republicans in that
respect. When James Russell Lowell
was ambassador he was reported to
have said that there is nothing but
English Blood in my veins, and have
often remarked that was Just as much
of an Englishman as they were"
Lowell was a literary man who was
proud of his Englisl, origin and be-
lieved that blood Is thicker than
water Who can blame him? An
1rishman feels the same way about his
origin and blood, II he is the right kind
Of an 1rishman.
While Reid has teen representing
this country in England he has per-
formed no duty of any consequence to
the United States. The London cor
respondent of the New York Sun says
of him:
1.-THE fact IL there has never been an
ambassador to the Court of ST. James,
who has shown himself more thor
oughly amenable to all British inter.
ests, and 1t Is by no means surprising
that the English authorities would be
pleased to see his term prolonged
Whether this attitude on Mr.. <Reids
part fulfills all the American govern,
ment's ideas of ambassadorial require
,ments is of course matter which
must be decided at Washington"
It appears thEt at Washington, the

structures of the middle ageS-the ages
of faith-when architects and builders
adhered scrupulously 20 structural pro-
portions and laid great stress on ar
chitectural unit:es. The view from the
highest platform Of the beautiful Nor
man towers is a revelation. The eye
sweeps the magnificent valley, the
Great Salt Lake, the Jordan River, the
towering peaks, canyons, ranges and
the goodly city itself rising from the
plain, protected and battlemented by
the rockrbbed mountains. The cathe-
dral is a firm mass Of masonry, built
Of an imperishable material, forming,
with the travertine, an indestructible
whole. This great Christian fame, it's
mural decorations, With the episcopal
residence and land cost 100000 The
finish of the interior is in accord with
the grandeur of the exterior. Under
the groined canopy, whose figured WIN
dows flood it with wealth and variety
of chromatic coloring, reposes the
altar of Carrarl marble, deliberately
carved by Italian masters. The beauti-
full side affairs, the sanctuary ratings OF
dows of Munich design and finish, its
groined and lofty ceilings resting on
twelve pillars OF Ionic design and it's
splendid organ give to this consecrated
place an immortality Of quiet gran
deur."
When the Mormons under Brigham
Young selected Utah for their abiding
place some sixty years ago, little did
they think that the Catholics would
ever erect in Salt Lake City cathe-
dral of such magnificense-one that
rivals their own fine temple. Though
two-thirds of the inhabitants of Salt
Lake City today ar. Mormons, they
seem to welcome the catholics and pre-
fer them to citizens Of other denomin
atoms. Bishop Seaman is highly es-

The leading newspaper of the terri

probably be a surpris" to many hard

that so many thousands every year
abandon the Protestant ranks for the
Mother Churcll--meaning the Catho-

trip declares that he was the recipient
Of Mormon hospitality and that on
Sunday he got the use of a Mormon

people who nocked to hear him explain
the doctrines OF the Catholic Church.
He says that the Mormons have little
religion and that they are losing hold
of the young folks. It is only ques-
ton Of time when Mormonism In
Utah will be supplarted by Catholis-
ism.
