BURNING ITCH WAS CURED

II deem 1t my duty to tell about a
cure that the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment have made on myself. My trou-
BILE began in splotches breaking out
right in the edge of my hair on the
forehead, and spread over the front
part of the top Of my head from ear to
ear, and over my ears which caused a
most fearful burning itch, or eczema.
For three years had this terrible
breaking out on my forehead and
scalp. ! tried our family doctor and
he failed to cure 1t. Then / tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used
them for two months with the result
OF q complete cure. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment should have the credit
due, and ! have advised q lot Of peo-
pie to use them" (Signed) C. D.

the past few years. My hair fell out
In spots all over my head. My scalp

out and left me three bald spots the

Reverand Father Bax Goes
to His f1erVeniy
Reward.

Father Bax is dead!" These
four words were heard everywhere
throughout Louisville last Saturday
with expressions of deepest sorrow
and regret. This was the sad news
contained in a cablegram received at
an early hour by Lawrence ]. Veene-
man from his sister, Miss Dymphna
Veeneman, who left Louisville with
Father Bax, who was her uncle, four
years ago, and who has been his
housekeeper and constant attendant.
The Rev. Lawrence Bax was in his
eighty-fifth year and was the Oldest
and perhaps best known priest in the
Louisville diocese. For fifty-three
years he was pastor of St. Johns
church at Clay and Walnut, and
Jubilee, one of the most memorable
religious observances in the history
Of the city. Father Bax was zeal
Gus priest and tireless worker until
his retirement, when he returned to
his old home at Tilburg, Holland,
accompanied by his niece, Miss
Naeneman, and there he since lived
b his nephew, Rev. Peter Notten,
II Rev. Peter yroonans, a grand
Nephew, who came to louisville to
their venerable uncle's celebration
and are remembered by many of our
citizens. The story of Father Bax's
holy life and noble work is too well
known to need repetition. Father
Schuhmann and nearly all the clergy
alluded to his death last Sunday, and
at st. Johns on Thursday there was
A solemn mass of requiem for the re-
pose of his soul Father Bax is sur

TRINITY COUNCIL.
Initiation, Reception and
Feasting Marked This
Week.

After having an elaborate initia-
ton Sunday afternoon, when thirty
two new members were added, the
meeting of Trinity Council on Mon
day night was full of interest. With
no meeting on the preceding Monday
there was lots of business, which
President Hennessy disposed of rap
idly. The Membership Committee,
which was responsible for the ex-
cellent class initiated, was con-
graduated on the showing made for
only two months work. The Opera
Committee reported the opera a
gratifying success from a financial
standpoint, and every one knows it
was an artistic success. A final re-
port will be made as soon as the re-
turns are in, which the committee
hopes win not be long delayed. The
boys and girls of the opera company
were entertained In the upper hall of
the club house with a dance and light
refreshments, and are TO be rendered
a banquet and dance In the near
future.
The "gasthmal" given Thursday
night in conjunction with the initia-
tion of Sunday was a decided success
and much enjoyed by all present.
The clergy and State degree team
were guests OF honor, and several
short speeches by them and mem
bers of Trinity we're very highly ap-
preciated. There Is more life IN
Trinity now than for many years
past.

Gen. Nelson a. Miles Los
ing Respect of
People.

When it was announced that Gen.
Nelson A. Miles had become one OF
the officers OF the Guardians of
Liberty" a feeble Imitation of the
A. p. A. OF old. storm of indigna-
ton arose throughout the country.
Unable to withstand the assaults
made upon him by his friends every
where, Gen. Miles declared that he
had become a member of the new
bigoted society because he believed
1t to be a patriotic organization and
nothing else. Since then Gen. Miles
presided over meeting of the anti
Catholic society in Boston, when the
mask was torn from his evasion and
weak excuses. His action has called
forth many letters bristling with in
dignation, among them one from Ed
ward j. Cooney, President of the
concludes as follows:
at is of no consequences whatever,
one way or the other, to the Catholic
citizens of this glorious republic that
you, sir, or any other individual OF
body of individuals would bar them
from public office. They know that
the day has gone by when bigotry' &
snake-like hiss could put their Eel
low-citizens in a panic of distrust and
hate. But they deem it a great pity
that a soldier who can not be una
ware of the patriotism of Catholics
who must know the splendid part
they took in the preservation of the
Union, and who ought to realize
their great contribution to American
citizenship should now in his old
age join the ranks of men who Will

OF the recall he said: "Of all the

the recall, especially the recall of the

institutions of democracy, to the per-
manency of social order, could well
be imagined than the legalizing of
the recall of the judiciary. IF ever
expert knowledge and deep, pro-
longed reflection were in requisition,
II surely is when the eternal princi-
pies of right and justice as between
man and man, between man or men
