AN AFRICAN MISSIONARY.

| Father CoyIe, a Josephite mission
airy, has returned from the African
missionary field to recruit and is at
present at Mercy hospital, Dubuque,
taking rest and treatment to recover
something of the lost strength he gave
during his long years in the wilds of
Africa
Father Coyle, who has spent ten
long years in the wilderness, knows
perhaps more about the natives of the
country than any white man in this
country today. He. has lived with
them, suffered with them, and has
been able, with brother missionaries.
to accomplish marvellous things among
them.
1t is the belief of many that the
saVages, because they are such, are a
coarse and brutal lot, with little of
the human instinct. According to
Father COyle there is little of the
kind amongst them. They are not
only lovable, they are even polite
and that in far-away Uganda
Father COyle speaks the language, d
wonderful soft, even liquid sort Of
speech, and states that when the ma
tives are at a loss for adjectives they
make up for the fact with special in
donation and with facial expressions
decidedly effective.
For twenty years the Josephite mis-
sionaries have worked in the heart of
Africa, teaching the natives to build
their own abodes, teaching them the
rudimentS of education, civilization
and Christianity. And they are hav-
ing wonderful response. On an
average of from four TO five thousand
natives are embracing Christianity
every month. And they are being won
by the Christ-like spirit of the mis-
sionaries who win them by loving
them, by being kind to them, by min
istering to their needs of body and
soul.
Let a native once say of you, He
is a man of Kindness" said Father
Coyle, and you can do anything In
the world with him. But let him say,
He is proud man and seeks glory
for himself, and you may as well leave
the tribe, for they will not be won
except by kindness. And it takes SO
little to win them. A smile, kind
word, a little gift-a needle if you
will for they delight in needles and
pins, strange as it may seem, and a
gift of that nature is welcomed"
The members of the Baganda tribe
Ire the people with whom the mission
aries have been able to accomplish
the most work. And from the ranks
of that tribe thousands of young men,
when Christianized, have gone forth to
teach the members of the other tribes
and to accomplish wonderful things
with them because they are of their
own people and understand absolutely
the tribal characteristics. And as
consequence of the work of these
young Christianized natives who have
been brought to a belief in Christ
through the endeavors of the mission
aries, members of other tribes besides
the Baganda have been converted.
Now where a wilderness there was
twenty years ago, converts and
churches and dwelling houses have
been reared and civilization is forcing
itself into the heart of the hitherto
unknown wild.

POWER OF THE PRESS.

The power of the press in this age
is almost invinCible. America leads
the world in the number of its news
papers, journals. monthly publications
and quarterly reviews, and its readers
are CORRESPONDENCE as numerous. If
publications and reading the .;lme
measures the progress of a country,
then American stands at the head Of
progresSiveness, for this is a reading
country. 1t is the reading furnished
that tends to form the character,
tastes and morals of the people ard
directs, to a certain extent, the gov
eminent itself. by creating public sen
timent. ElOquence charms the soul,
oratory sways the masses, but the
press, which repeats and perpctuates
the eloquent and sublime sentiments
of the orator, has a more powerful and
extensive influence. In America the
liberty of the press, and liberty OF
speech, are firmly established and
whatever effects be they good or evil,
that flow from these God-given privi-
leges. must be accepted in all their
logical consequences. It's evil effects
in spreading discomfort, no-g JYeTn-
ment theories, hatred and discortent,
is more than cOunterbalanced by the
good 1t accomplished when directed by
patriotic and honest, capable persons.
In this reading age a free press is
needed to propagate what is true. de-
fend what is right, expose the disor-
derby elements of society, and help as
a powerful auxiliary for the preserva-
ton of order, intelligence and moral
ity.-Catholic Citizen.

WERE MILLIONS
ARE FNTONIRED

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
lian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
IN the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter
esting. Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels whose
paintings are to be found All are
Bible illustrations. so that the cata-
cambs may be said to be a pictorial
Bible in effect-The Christian Herald.

il we did not make allowance for the
eXaggeratiOns of Unchastened oratory
We do much in this respect, but with
out undue exertion we can do much
more to show that Christionity has not
lost its vitality. and that the love
which our Lord brought upon earth
flows from our hearts into those of
our brethren. But ii is true that many
of us shut our eyes to disease and pow
erty, to the overburdened mother and
the father out of work. Is it not true
that the young professional men, if not
impeded by us, receives scant recog-
milton at the time when he is strug-
CLING for a living? And yet the apostle
admonishes US Ito work good towards
all men, but most of all towards those
who are of the household of the faith"
Is it not true that many Catholics
of wealth and education fail to exer-
else according to their opportunities
the charity upon which our lives
should be Uilt?-Catholic Record

CARLYLE AND THE MASS.

Writing Of Carlyle, DR.. Barry saws
that it was frequent saying of his
that the saints were the best men he
knew; that a peasant saint would be
of more consequence in Europe today
than all its fleets and armies. and that
the divinest symbol was still the peas
ant of Galilee. by whom had been be-
queathed to US the Religion of SOr-
row. Carlyle dwelt far from the
Catholic church. When its accents
smote upon his ear in the cathedral
at Bruges, he could but mutter that it
was grand idolatrous music" Yet he
confessed to Mr.. Froude that the mass
was the only genuine relic of religious
worship left among US" A suggestive
word, deserving of our deepest medi-
tation

The Burke-Vessey meeting held in
this city Saturday was a great success
from every point of view, and the
attendance from distant parts of the
county was larger than was expected
by the most optimistic. BY two O'Clock
the opera house was crowded, and when
Congressman Burke and Governor YES
sey stepped upon the stage they were
greeted by an enthusiastic audience.
The speeches delivered by both Con-
gresham Burke and Governor Vessey
were excellent and to the point, and
the audience gave the closest attention
to their utterances. They showed
clearly the great benefits the state has
derived from republican rule and pointed
out the folly of making a change.
After the meeting a reception was
rendered the gentlemen at the Com
mercial club rooms, and after the recep-
ton a dinner was served at the Com
mercial hotel. The dining room and
table were beautifully decorated and
Landlord Hocum deserves special praise
for the elegant repast served and the
manner in which he Accommodated the
numerous guests.
That Messrs. Burke and Vessey made
a good impression upon the voters of
this county was shown by the substan-
tial vote given them Tuesday.

A Wall From OrtIey

A second paper is being established
in Ortley and the editor of the Ortley
Optic chronicles his displeasure in the
following unique and original manner:
"We understand that C. E. Anderson
has closed a deal where by he become
owner of the publishing out fit that was
used to publish the Corona paper some
time ago, which he expects to be doing
a big business with in Ortley in a few
days. Having employed a Mr.. Hood of
Sisseton to do the tipe sitting. We
don't just know what the name of the
paper will be butitis rumored that it will
be the Ortley Out Look or Out Law we
don't know which however we wish Mr..
Anderson much prosperity. AS it is a
great boost to Ortley to afford two
Newspapers when Corona couldent
support one."
If c. Z. Anderson can stand such a
bombarbment as the above, he certainly
has a constitution which will carry him
safely through the trying ordeal of
establishing a second newspaper in
Ortley.

but the formula of which is secret.
Last year we tried this preparation in
Conde,' said Charles d. Brown, chief
detective of the Inter State Protective
association. We placed it where an
explosion would break the bottle and
the fumes that came out were so terri
fc that no man could remain in the
room. There is no doubt that George
Clark, cashier of the bank at Corona,
had placed a strong dose in his safe and
it was that preparation or something
like it that sent the burglars running
for their lives.
''Mr. Brown says it is not the odor
that the formaldehyde gives off that is
so bad, although it is bad enough, but
the preparation contains some ingredi.
ent, the fumes of which attack the lungs
and make it necessary to beat a quick
retreat. The practice of putting a bot
tie of the compound in a safe will be
more common, now that its practical
bility has been tested, Mr.. Brown
believes.
