RAWLINS, WYO.
Especial Correspondence

]
A model and edtfying, not to say
IDEAL community of Catholics is dom
! iciled here in Rawlins. Such at least
is the impression made upon the OBJ
servant visitor, mention of Father
Conrath on all hands by the most
lavish words of esteem, love and
praise for their cherished pastor.
Blessed, indeed, is the priest upon
whom is bestowed the devotion of his
people in measure so repiete, and
thrice blessed is the flock whose
hearts beat in gladsom unison under
the leadership of their devoted spir-
itual guide and director. Pondering
over this most felicltous state of af-
fairs the fond heart cannot resist the
pious and fervent wish-and prayer
that Catholics everywhere might be
similarly appreciative of their spirit
ual guides, thus garnering unto them
selves a fuller measure of the spir-
itual Christ that is SO devotedly ten
dered them than can possibly be the
case where they are disposed to re-
sentfully chafe at the restrictions that
are dutifully placed upon the way
ward inclinatfons Of the flesh by their
jealous pastors.
Most cordially is Father Conrath
to be congratulated on the docile dis
position manifested toward him by his
parishioners; it is doubtless in large
sence a merited tribute to worthy
character, but tribute also all too
uncommon.
Father Conrath was summoned
from the midst of his flock by the sad
tidlngs of the serious illness of his
aged father. who resides in Cincinnati,
Ohio. The telegram bearing the news
of the affliction came to the pastor in
the midst of his sacred duties on last
Sunday, and he took the train for the
east on the closing of that day The
incident seems doubly deplorable to
the members of his parish inasmuch
as 1t deprives them of his beloved
presence at this season and joyous
Chrlstmastide They fondly hope and
expect that a priest will come to them
from Cheyenne, or perhaps from Den
yer. Colo, but" say they, I'VE will
sorely miss Father Conrath."
Your correspondent was also i'm
pressed and very much gratified by
the sincerity with which these good
people declare their appreciation of
the Intermountain Catholic. A COM
munity where such loyalty prevails is
on the right road.

Gadsden, December 1.-(Special. .)-The announcement of Gadsden's census, show Ing the population to be over 10000, has been hailed with delight. While a few were hoping that the count would show 2,J)0, the official figures are very satis- factory. The growth here during the past few months since the count was made has been greater than at any time in history and while this does not enter into the statistical record the home folks know that thet have fully 12,Oo0 people if not more.

For women-and men, too, for that matter-who can never appear stylish with anything they wear because of abnormal thinness and angularity, this remarkable prescription is destined to solve the problem. As beauty maker for the figure it is simply wonderful while it adds brightness to the eyes, and color to the cheeks and lips. It requires no particular dieting, but acts as an aid to nature by its peculiar ac- tion on the nerves and blood supply The blood and nerves distribute over the body all the nourishment or flesh building elements obtained from the food. The trouble with thin people has always been that they do not ab- sorb or retain enough of the fieshy matter to make them gain in weight even to a normal extent; but this new discovery of blending certain harm less drugs is revelation to science, and hundreds have gained from ten to forty pounds in a few weeks.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Becky sharp"

Mrs Fiske appeared ta the Jefferson theatre last night as Becky Sharp in the play of that name, based on Thackeray's $ artist whose abilities need no indorse- ment Her place is secure and her DOT trayal of any part is always worth while, but dramatizing a masterpiece like Van ity Fair, or any part of 1t, is extremely 7 difficult, and numerous attempts which have been made resulted very unsatisfac- torily. The version used by Mrs. Fiske is by Langdon Mitchell, and while it Is conceded to be perhaps the best yet done. 1t falls far short of being what may be termed a good, workable play, one with plenty of verisimilitude and continuity of action, which yet successfully reproduces the atmosphere of the novel,
 There is such vast amount of ma terial in Vanity Fair" so many scenes and incidents, so many characters drawn by the hand of a master, and such wide canvas for the delineation of Becky, who IS pictured as never was woman pictured in fiction before or since, that any stage presentment is bound to be somewhat dis appointing. There is enough of the book in the play to make it interesting to peo- pie who nave read Thackeray's master piece, Lut on those who have not, as well as those who did read the book, but with out being deeply moved, it is apt to ex- ert slight appeal. Becky is shown with considerable distinctness in the play, as is Rawdon Crawly, with something of the skill with which he is forever etched in the novel, but the other characters, with the possible exception of Steyne, do little more than walk on and off a few times and then disappear. This, how ever, could not be helped. There is con siderably less room in play than there Is in book
 AS for the performance, there was little fault to1ind. Mrs. Fiske was wonderfully effective as the irrepressible and resource full Becky. The remarkable character of this truly remarkable woman was DOT trayed with the skill of finished artist. Henry Stephenson made Rawdon Craw- lev a figure who agreed with the general conception of that character as drawn from the book, and he played the part admirably throughout. Leonard Shep- herd was satisfactory as the Marquis of Steyne. The remaining characters were for the most part so colorless that it was hard to say whether they were in cap- able hands or not. That, however, was

BRAGG SAYS HE RESIGNED
 AFTER LONG CELEBRATION

Prof. Thomas Bragg, faculty athletic director for Auburn. whose resigna- ton as such has created widespread in terest in southern athletics, was ir Birmingham yesterday. He was here
 on personal business and will return to Auburn today.
 'r Professor Bragg said yesterday he appreciated more than he could express the general desire that he be retained as director of athletics but that his resignation had been sent in after ma : ture deliberation and thought and that he could not see any way to change his determination now
 Professor Bragg said the past season in athletics was the best and most man ly that has been had in many years and that he was glad to have been associated with such clean and manly enthusiasts during the last year of his active participation in the work.
 He said that his interest in clean honorable athletics would not diminish because of his retirement from active association with tn hem, but that he would always be ready and willing to assist southern colleges in every hon. est encouragement of the spirit so es- sential to successful sports in the south.

"The Sword of the IxIngy

'oThe Sword of the King was present. cd last night at the Bijou by Cecil Spoon CT and her company. The play is a TO- mantle drama and tells a story of the days when William of Orange was fight ing for the English throne.
 Phillippa Drayton, an English maid, Is saved from the insults of soldier by Edwin Royston and she falls in love with him. He kills the soldier and is forced to flee from England. Two years later he comes back under William of Orange. The prince Is a guest at the Royston manor, where a plot is laid to kill him.

 priest plotting for James. In order to allow him to escape Phillipa discoveri herself to Royston and the priest is al lowed to go free. Royston is dismissed from the service of William, but regains his place owing to the intercession ol | Phillippa.
 The company is well balanced and thu | play is of the same merit as the earlier mart of the week. The play is one o | thrills and heart interest. It gives man,
