York in having public lectures for adults
lecture bureau was maintained for awhile
in connection with the Boston school COM
mittee, but was discontinued. The SUI
perintendent of schools in Philadelphia
has recommended the adoption of this lee
ture system and the matter has been
brought up in Toronto. Rochester Teach
ers' association is conducting a course Of
lectures, aided financially by the board of
education. The course this year includes
special lectures for teachers and lectures
on literature and music. Other cities have
free lecture courses in no way connect
ed with the schools or their educational
system, on the order of the Cooper Union
of New York with its free lecture system
open for the masses since 1889, and its
free classes in art, applied science and lit
erature. The Goodwin institute of Mem
phis is one of the latest additions to the
free lecture halls of the country.
Soon other municipal school systems
may realize as New York has done that
the words of Daniel Webster have pO-
tent meaning: ION the diffusion of edu-
cation among the people rests the preser-
walton and perpetuation of our free insti-
tutions Make them intelligent and they
will be vigilant." The adult mind hungers
for instruction just as keenly as the
young one, and through lectures the busy
people of the work-a-day world can best
be reached.-(Copyright 1909. by Frederic

IN DARKEST AFRICA.

speaker. Mr.. Bryan said little that was
new, for such a thing has long since be-
come next to impossible. But he present
ed his arguments i'm that captivating form
which characterized his great Chicago
speech two years later.
When one reads the debates of that
year he cannot help wondering at the
difference of opinion that can grow up
over a single phase of the vast tariff
question. The Democrats declared that
the Mckinley tariff had enhanced the
price of everything, and that its benefit
Charles were using the wall constructed
by that law to extort higher prices from
the people In support of this they pre-
sented long lists of articles that were
sold higher at home than abroad. The
Republicans answered by presenting
equally long lists of articles that were
sold in the United States for less than
the tariff on them. The tariff on wire
nails was two cents, yet they were SELL
ing for / 2-3 cents a pound. The tariff
on lead pencils was sixty cents a gross,
while the wholesale price was forty-five
cents and so it continued. The Demo-
Gratis reioined that it was the claim of
the tariff people that they wanted duties
which would make up the difference in
the cost of labor, and that the average
total cost of labor entering into the fin
ished products of the American manufac-
turers was only 10 per cent of their ag-
gregate value, while the duties levied
were three times as much. In other
words, they sought to show that the du-
ties levied were on an average three
times as great as the whole labor cost,
and probably ten times as much as the
difference of cost between European
and American labor. And so the fight
went on, leaving the people to pay their
money and take their choice-(COpyright

WILL HUMAN RACE
LIVE MORE YEARS!

NEW YORK, May 7.-When tubercu-
lous and other preventable causes of ex-
cessive mortality are mastered, when
those under 80 tell the truth about their
youth and those more than 50 do the
same about their age, it may be possible
for actuaries to figure on $50 years as the
span of human life.
The national death rate has largely de-
creased but the decrease is almost en-
tirely confined to the infantile period.
over 90, the decrease has been very
small, or an actual increase has been
shown by statistics. From 1880 to 1901
there was a decrease of seven in each
thousand of population in the total num-
Der of deaths, but the rate of deaths
from heart disease, cancer, certain func-
tional disease is so per cent higher in the
United States than the mortality from
the same causes 80 years ago.
These and many other Interesting facts
about the duration of human life were
presented by John X. Gore, OF Newark,
n. J., president of the. Aetharies Society
of America, at the 10Th annual meeting
of the association in the Metropolitan
building

of this society are earnest and Jealous
workers.
Among the number of Zionites who
came up to attend the football game last
Saturday was Miss Grace Sullivan, a
former graduate of st. Mary's academy.
The new opera house of this city is
now under construction. 1t will not be
completed before the early spring, but
promises to be one of the handsomest
and most up-to-date play houses in the
west. 1t is being erected by the eXecu-
tors of the Peery estate.
One of the social events of the season
was the delightful party given Thurs
day evening by Miss Loretto Malone, at
her cosy home on Twenty fifth street, in
honor of Miss Mae Lee Rowan of Dali
las, Tex, who has been visiting in the
city for some time. The rooms were
aglow with autumn leaves, and numer-
Gus ferns artistically arranged made a
very charming background for the jolly
crowd assembled. Cards were the chief
amusement, and during the course of the
evening dainty refreshments were
served. Much merriment was afforded
by the finding of a fortune at each ores
place. Miss Josephine Murray was also
a guest of honor

1t is a credit to him that Mr. Walsh
(who has changed in some things) has
not changed his racial identification.
Clonmel is more appropriate name for
an Irishman's American estate than
'Wolhurst.''

The Daughters of Our Lady.

AT meeting of prominent Catholic
women held in New York, the nucleus
of an organization of Catholic women
to be known as 1.-The Daughters of Our
Lady was formed. 1t is the aim of the
founders to make the organization ma
tional, and to enlist the cooperation of
representative Catholic women through
out the United States. The scope of the
organization is to extend the influence
of the Catholic press; to spread Catho-
lie literature and encourage Catholic
writer's; to exert an influence against
bad books and plays; to establish a bet
ter social relationship between Catho-
lies; to organize protection for Catholic
working girls and to better their condi-
ton; and to take a special interest in
the growing boys of our land, by study
ing their needs and providing them with
proper safeguards as regards their
moral, material and physical welfare
In brief, the sociological, industrial eco
nomic and educational problems of the
times, especially as they affect Catho-
lies, will be carefully considered. Pro-
fessor J. G. Monaghan has promised his
active assistance and cooperation. A
number of Catholic laymen have
pledged themselves to defray the ex-
pense entailed by the work of organ
ization Under such favorable auspices
THE Daughters of Our Lady bids fair
to become a mighty factor in the moral,
social and spiritual uplift of our. people.
Catholic women throughout the coun-
try who are interested are requested to

Sacred Heart Academy.

Miss josephine Murray of Rock
Springs, Wyo., spent several days of
last week in the city visiting her sister,
Louise, who is attending Sacred Heart
academy. She was warmly greeted by
old friends and acquaintance. who eX-
pressed their regret that her stay in
this institution must be so brief.
Mrs. Hilda Andersen Mudd. formerly
pupil of Sacred Heart academy, made
Ogden one Of the points of interest on
her honeymoon trip. She is 4 young
bride of few weeks. and many were
the congratuls tons by schoolmates who
wished her much happiness in her we'd
ded life.
That those possessed Of the Carnegie
spirit are not all dead, was realized last
week by the faculty OF Sacred Heart
academy, when seventy volumes were
added to the already well-filleI libra
~. The generous donor was Tom
heogh of this city, who has contributed
numerous standard books to this inst-
tuition during the past year, and PER
haps nowhere are these generous con-
tributions more appreciated than ut Sa-
cred Heart academy
That the pupils of Sacred Heart acad-
envy are thoroughly interested in their
work is evidenced by the spirited COM
petitions held during the week. The
fourth academies especially showed a
practical knowledge of first topics
treated in physiology. These competi-
tons and monthly tests are very bene-
fetal to the student, and while they are
not so rigorous as an examina ton, the
same principles are involved and 50 bet
ter results obtained.
A very welcome visitor to her Alma
Mater last week was Mrs M. Donaghy
Crowley, '04, who brought her little
niece to Sacred Heart. AS she revisited
the old haunts, Mrs. Crowley declared
that she felt really homesick sensa-
ton. an illness quite common when old
graduates view the happy scenes of for
mer days.

Oil Cures indigestion.

Mr. L. T. wilkins. well-knoWn cru
zen. Of College Park, has a cure for in
digestion that he wants to give to SUI
fering humanity through the columns OF
the Atlanta Journal. 1t is as follows
Take three teaspoonsful of olive oil
during each meal. If olive oil is too ex-
pensive, refined cotton seed oil will do
just as well. Drink no water Tor an
hour before or after meals.
Mr.. Wilkins declares that ten years
ago he was a physical wreck, caused py
dyspepsia. 1t developed into acute m
digestion. and he was given up TO ole
by several good doctors.
But l am well and healthy and
hearty now, and can eat anything l
like" he exclaims with enthusiasm.
How did l learn the cure? Well, no
body recommended it to me, so reckon
you might say it was to begin with an
experiment But the selection OF owe
oil was prompted by it's own etflcacy
as an aid to digestion, so it was not al
together a chance shot"
Abstinence from water for an hour
before and after meals is of the utmost
Importance says Mr.. Wilkins. II the
stomach is burdened with quantity OF
water while the process of digestion is
going on" says he, fermentation sets
in, and the whole process is deranged.
Though well past middle age, Mr..
Wilkins is healthy, hale and hearty,
fine example of what the simple, mex
pensive remedy has done for dyspep-
tic wreck

Sacred Heart Academy Notes.

Many surprises have been +sndered
the students of Sacred Heart academy
within the past few weeks but perhaps
not any was so much appreciated as the
arrival of the artistic new school pins
bearing the seal of the institution, inter
woven with glowing lnts of crimson
and gold.
The graduates and third academies of
Sacred Heart academy have finished
reading julius Caesar and reluctantly
laid it aside, having made many friends
in the characters of Brutus Cassius and
Antony, also grasping the historical
situation of Rome at that period.
Saturday, Oct. %. a merry crowd Of
youthful artists left Sacred Heart acad-
envy at 2:30 to spend an afternoon in
Ogden canyon. They took a car ride as
far as the Hermitage, and after de-
licious lunch, enthusiastic patrons Of
Paul de Longpie took walk to Idle
wild, gathering botanical specimens and
reveling in the beauties of nature.
