The disastrous wreck on the North
western Pacific near Santa Rosa, CAL,
a few days ago resulted in the death
Of twelve persons and serious injury
Of a score or more injured. Father
Lawrence Jago, o. p, proved himself
a hero on the occasion. The Santa
Rosa Press Democrat says of him:
1.-THE Rev. Father Lawrence Jago,
o. p, of Benicia on his way to his old
home in Heraldsburg was hero, in
deed. Armed with an axe he cut his
way into the wreckage and pulled out
eleven of the dead bodies. He also cut
hole in one side of the car and got
out four injured men. One mans shoul-
der bone protruded 80 that he had to
bend his head back and hold the bone
while Father Jago cut a place to get
him released.
When Father Jago arrived here on
Monday night his clothing was still
saturated with human, blood and he
shuddered as the terrible scenes were
called to mind. Men and women who
saw the courageous priest at work
speak in the highest terms of praise of
his splendid work. And the while he
welded the axe from his lips came
commiseration for the wounded and
the dying. This was never-to-be-
forgotten time. Father Jago was a
hero. But while men grasped his hands
both at the scene Of the wreck and in
the Press Democrat ONCE upon his ar
rival here. he showed the true spirit
that DO unto others as you would
they should do unto YOU when he said,
Everybody was helping. They, like
me, did what they. could"

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
No Cause for Anxiety in the Financial
Situation.


A feeling of greater confidence is
developing in financial circles, says a
well known writer on this subject.
There is a growing appreciation Of the
part which bounteous harvests must
always play as fundamental elements
in the country's activities and pros
perity, even though some unfavorable
influences may exist outside of the ag-
ricultural world and may for the time
being serve to retard full development,
or temporarily act as check upon
enterprise.
Barring government hostility to rail-
road interests, there appears to be no
ground for apprehension in any direc-
ton. During the last six months there
has been a persistent attempt to Gre
unsoundness exist in the financial and
mercantile world which call for the ex-
ercise of the utmost caution. We have
been told that the country has been
going too fast in it's Industrial growth
that there has been too much specu-
lation. too much extravaganza every
where. So persistentIy has this doc
trine been preached that many of our
financial institutions have been pre-
pairing for the supposed inevitable COL
lapse. The decline in the stock mar
ket experienced all through the year
up to the 2sth of July has by many
been construed as an indication of
something inherently wrong in the sit
uation, whereas it was due to nothing
else than loss of confidence in the
value and stability Of railroad invest
ments engendercd by the government
policy adverse to railroad interests.
One by one the causes which have
been assigned as furnishing warrant
for anxiety are being found to be
without basis. Emphasis has been laid
upon the expansion in bank loans
throughout the country as evidence of
an unsound condition. The truth is,
this expansion simply reflected the re-
vival of business activity after the re-
covery from the panic, and no one has
been able to point to any serious or
general over extension of credit.
Then we have been told that there
has been excessive speculation in lands
in the West. Some speculation there
has undoubtedly been, but If it has
been carried too far nothing has de-
veloped as yet to establish the fact
Then, also the newspapers have pub
lished stories saying there had been
reckless buying Of automobiles and
that farmers particularly had become
victims of this species Of extravaganza
but here comes the annual summary
Of crop and trade conditions Of the
First National Bank of Minneapolis
and makes the following assuring
statement: "Our information is that
the farmer who buys an automobile
generally pays cash for it and is bet
ter able to own 1t than most Of the
| town purchasers. 1t is probably OF
more real utility to him than to any
other class Of purchasers"

America-and to say that we believed
we would be able to secure the patron
age of the Lord Lieutenant.
Tho British Aristoeraey Eager to be
Present.
The program seemed so attractive to
Sir Arthur, and so anxious was he to
get upon good terms with this strictly
non-political and nom sectarian ele-
ment, with it's broad extensions, that
he promptly agreed to let us have the
palace and grounds for the day with
out charge. Then our delegation ap-
preached Earl Spencer, the viceroy, and
with the gift of the use of the Ex-
position Palace from Sir Arthur GUM
ness, he was only too happy to extend
his viceregal patronage to this grand
popular celebration under the auspices
of this strictly non-political and nom
sectarian organization extending over
England, Ireland and America" Our
delegates then applied for and secured
from the officers Of the garrison the
service of the military band to dis
course music for the occasion and also
permission for the soldiers Of her mai
esty's garrison to compete in military
drills, sword and bayonet exercises and
general athletics for prizes offered by
our committee. With the patronage of
the Lord Lieutenant, how could the Of
ficers of the garrison do otherwise than
accede to our request?
st. Patrick secured for us ideal
weather for the fete, while our organ
ization supplied the people in such
numbers as to pack the extensive
grounds. Precisely at 3 o'clock the
Earl and Countess Spencer and vice.
regal suite arrived, accompanied by the
usual cavalry escort and were received
at the entrance by fifty members of our
committee, every man a Fenian, escort
ed through the grounds, and upon de-
parting after witnessing many Of the
military and other feats. they ex-
pressed most cordial appreciation Of
the courtesies extended, being all the
time entirely ignorant of the fact. that
they had practically been attending a
Fenian camp meeting. and had actual
" committed dftreason-felony by mate
rally aiding and abetting the revolu-
tionary organization and its exchequer.
In the evening we had truly a peoples
ball, the attendance having reached
about $4,000, and the vast floor area
of the. exposition, being so crowded that
there was no space left for dancing.
Three Years Before the Secret Leaked
Out.
Notwithstanding the myriad channels
Of information possessed by Dublin
Castle, ranging from the common in
formers upward to persons that would
seem to be above suspicion, it took
quite long time before 'the English
garrison in Ireland" as the loyalist
elements are called, and their friends
In England learned the inside of that
grand popular fete and ball, held "un-
der the auspices Of Court Shamrock of
Foresters-a strictly non-political and
nom -sectarian organization, extending
over England, Ireland and America"
and when the joke got out, some two
or three years after the fact, the late
Sir William Harcourt promptly nick
named Earl Spencer "the Fenian Earl,'
title by which he was long bantered
among his friends.

1t is we'll known that the REQ
Automobiles are standard ma
chimes of established reputation,
but before selecting the machine
he would deal in Mr.. Shannon had
Mr.. E. E. Jacoway to go to Mem
phis and investigate several makes
of automobiles. Mr.. JacOway is a
machineSt and mechanician of
wide repute and extra ordinary
talent, and he examined the REQ
and other machines Thoroughly. In
fact the machines were taken
apart and every part and portion
carefully examined and the whole
mechanism thoroughly i1vestigat-
ed. AS result, Mr.. Jacoway re-
ported that the REQ machine, in
his judgment was the best and
most reliable and safe automobile
of the kind and price suitable for
this country. Mr. Shannon has
therefore taken pains and incurred
expense to obtain the machine
most suitable to his prospective
customers. Both he and Mr..
Jacoway vouch for the REQ Auto
mobiles, as being strong, simple
in construction, easy to operate
and put in order and little liable
to break downs or stoppage.

drivin them 1000 miles without q
single repair or expense except

He introduced his bill in the senate,

how it would do for him to go up and
see the speaker and said first rate, so
up he went, and told the speaker he

On Ironing Day

Irons must be much hotter for
starched pieces than for fiannels For
these they must barely hiss under the
touch Of moistened finger.
To get the right finish on any piece
of ironing 1t must be ironed until dry.
Attack the starched pieces and those
that require most work early in the
action
A few OF the essentials, after the
ironing table itself and the irons, are
an iron stand. an iron holder with an
asbestos lining. a bit of beeswax tied
up in piece of cheeseeloth. a bowl of
warm water with a sponge or a piece
Of soft linen. which may be used 10
dampen scallops and edgings which
have become too dry to iron we'll: a
piece of paper folded in several thick

soon as possible after they are dry.

Models Queer Looking
Off the Head. but
Undeniably Charm
ing When Worn.
BY CATHERINE TALBOT.

IF you would be a success in your
hats this season you've got to dress
up TO them. for If you don't the new
hats Will make you look queer. Hats
are picturesque-that is. those that are
not strictly tailored affairs are-and
they absolutely demand to be worn
with an unreasonable dress-the frock,
in short. that has no shape and is all
long lines.
Last winter millinery was eccentric,
but this year We are being taught to
consider the styles quaint no matter
what our real opinion Of them may be-
The quaint modes are very becoming
10 young girls or even those In the
late twenties. but after that period the
effect IS absurd unless one dresses up
10 the hat.
They are queer looking off the head,
reminding one OF caps, Quaker bon
nets. etc. But worn with a certain
cachet there is an undeniable charm
about them. They make some young
girls look like babies. especially when
empire and directoire gowns accom-
pany them. With the baby neck, the
baby sleeve and the baby at we shall
all arrive at & stage where every wo-
man. IL she is dressed 10 look like any
thing more than two-year-old. will
