A MISSIONARIES CONSULTATIONS.

Daily, thank God, the light of the
true religion penetrates a little farther
into the interior of this isolated coun-
try, and Eliminates the souls and con-
science of the Koreans" writes mis-
sionary from that country. Prejudices
are being gradually overcome, erron-
eous ideas of Christianity are being
corrected, the pagans begin to see in
the belief and, above all, in the i'm
proved conduct of their Catholic neigh
bors, the solution of many of the prob
lens and doubts that have perplexed
themselves. Many, who have not yet
received the light, are not cropping
wholly in the dark? They are losing
their fear of the deities of the pagan
imagination, idols that formerly held
them bound in the chains of ignorance
and superstition.
A number of these pagans, it is true,
lack the courage to embrace Catholi-
city. The rich learn that if these
should become Catholics they could no
longer lend money at usurious inter
est; therefore they hesitate. In their
hearts, however, they sincerely re-
spect the Catholic Church
Accordingly, they frequently bring
dying children to us and ask to have
the poor little creatures baptized.
Others among the pagans, delay their
conversions simply through the habit
Of procrastination or because they are
too indolent to apply themselves to
obtaining a knowledge of the cate
chism. Doubtless many pagans die in
error and blindness through their own
Indifference or prejudice, but others,
perhaps for some especial act of char
ity or natural virtue, gre blessed by
God with an opportunity of receiving
baptism in their last hour. Recently
a certain sick man, feeling that his
end was approaching, sent for my
catechist and earnestly begged to be
baptized.
'Tf, Notwithstanding the gravity of
my illness, I happen to recover" he
said, IT will do all that can to prove
myself a good Christian"
The catechist baptized him. A few
moments afterwards, he said to his
family:
"By persisting in my pagan errors I
nearly missed heaven. When I have
passed away, see to it that no heather
sacrifices are offered at my tomb; de-
stroy all your objects of superstition;
study the catechism, that you may
have the happiness which l now en-
JOY"
After his death, his last wishes
we're strictly observed. The elder son
is taken up with work in the fields,
but the younger, who knows how to
read, is not only studying the Catho-
lie religion himself, but is teaching
its truths to his mother and sister-in-
law.
In a few years, I hope to have an
encouraging number of converts. At
present, when, here or there, a cate
chumen falls away, for time only
trust, I console myself by the thought
Of the others who are persevering with
edifying steadfastness.

CHlVALRY.

In nobility of spirit, high courage,
magnanimity, and gallantry there
dwells chivalry. Exercise it. Where
ever child can be helped, wherever
stranger can be guided or a friend
who is shy set at ease, wherever a
weak brother can be saved from fall
ing and shame, wherever an old mans
steps can be made easy, wherever a
servants position can be dignified in
his eyes, is the chance for chivalry
to show itself.

Rates Are Lowest Here.

An inspection OF the PROCEEDINGS of
the American Water Works Association
Tor 1908. covering water rates in MANY
municipalities, will show that, for the
quality OF filtered water furnished orr
current rates are the lowest in the co,ln-
try and that the increases suggested here
In cannot be fairly regarded as in any
wise burdensome. The average charge

these charges become $20S3 and SI6 "a
respectively.
THE average of the highest and loves,

OF private plants is given as 31s cents
and los cents and in the case of public
plants 21.S cents and 80 cents The

SQUADRON Protected Rear.

The destroyers cruised rapidly about
between the warships and the city. while
another squadron was spread fanlike In
the rear behind the men-of-war. with the
evident object OF avoiding a surprise by
the enemy.
Other warships were dispatched to the
villages of Sensuo, Saoa and Suava on
the one side, and Java, Sebda and Slften
as far as Mesurata on the other, while
others patrolled the Gulf of Sldra De-
tween Mesurta and Bengal.
On the other side of BengaA and In
the Gulf of Bomba as far as the port
of Dubru other men-of-war were drawn
up In line of battle, that the whole

Chamber of Commerce in this respect
Mr.. Brown declared that he believed .ne
Commissioners had acted without au-
thority of law when they increased the
water tax without giving the citizens due
notice He admitted the right OF Con
gress to levy taxes without notice, but
said that when Congress had delegated
powers to a commission the courts had
held that due notice, by advertised pub
LEGATION in the newspapers or other
means. must be given of the proposed
taxation before it was put into effect.
II believe the matter of increasing the
water tax is a dead issue at present,
declared Mr.. Brown. IF the courts de-
cided that the Commissioners had acted
Illegally the Commissioners would still be
at liberty to give the proper notice and
then increase the taxes. perhaps making
the increase greater the next time.
But i do believe that the Chamber OF
Commerce should go on record as OPP

missioners, without granting hearing

Would Correct Irregularities.

Under the current rate scale of water
rents manifest inequalities exist whose
correction is desirable. A recent co-1l-
pilation giving the consumption on the
present 1900 metered services shows
that less than IL per cent utilize their
minimum allowance, namely 1900 cnbic
feet. and that more than IS per cent
use less than half that amount, yet
the charge, for whatever amount up to
the minimum is the same, namely $3.50
In premises served under the schedule
rates similar inequalities exist, the ulti-
mate correction of which must be by
metering.
1T is estimated conservatively that to
accomplish the purposes outlined, addi-
uonal revenue in the amount of about
Sloo,OOO per annum is required. and NAV
be secured by such a reimbursement of
water allowances and rates as is suggest
ed in the accompanying report.
rms readJustment contemplates re-
auction OF the minimum allowance to
100 cubic feet, or 5000 gallons. for
which Will be charged the present mini
mum rate of $3.50. For consumption
beyond 800 cubic feet il is proposed TO
charge cents per hundred cubic feet
instead of the present charge of 2 cents
The rates for premises under the schedule
will be increased from $50 to So. with
corresponding increase for additionai
frontage and story height
nder this proposed readjustment a
large percentage of hOuseholders will not
be affected; another considerable per-
centage will merely be Influenced TO
greater care in consumption without en-
barrassment to domestic needs. Addi-
ttopal cost will be involved ONLY where
consumption is in excess of 800 cubic
feet and where presumably il NAV best

Signals by Admiral.

A general movement. vague noise, uni
versal hustle, runs among all the war
ships
What is happening? The admirals ship
is making signals. Has the order been
given to open fire? On board the ships
everybody is silent. The moment is sol
emn, Then an order Is transmitted from
ship to ship, from mouth to mouth, ike
the echo of a single word, and suddenly
all the vesseis-battleships, cruisers, tor
pedo boats. destroyers and transports
hoist their ColorS.
1t looks like some celebration. some
festival After the long anxiety of wait
ing it is not death. 1t is the life Of civili-
cation.
But here is another signal. The YES
sells begin TO move They defile with
singular. marvellous majesty 1t is like
an invitation to the Turkish army, hidden
in forests. to strike its coiOrs.
The feet in its entirety steams past
Tripoli. The spectacle is imposing. VIII
the Turks surrender and the war be fin
ished without a gun being fired, without
the sacrifice of single mans life?
Final Appeal to Turks.
But there is another order. The fleet
arranges Itself once more before Tripoli
surrender is repeated. The procession
render, a last appeal to the Turks by
the admiral commanding to give way
and avoid useless bloOdShed but the
appeal was not crowned with success.
The Turks resist. and Immediately the
development of the action begins. The
warships hurl their first projectiles
against the batteries of Tripol. shot
after shot, with regularity and pre-
cision-
The Turks attempt to reply with the
toy guns of their fortresses, but their
shells do not even reach the Italian
vessels. They fall short and drop in the
sea.
Evidently the attacking squadron did
not wish to damage the city too much.
1t wanted only to destroy the forts and
the Wallis palace.
