more than enough to support the en-

according to the annual report of At

to Congress today.

actually collected and paid into the
treasury of the United States an ag-
gregate sum OF $2,749,070.15. This
reveals the somewhat startling fact
that, despite the desperate efforts OF
the government crome, vice and

The Attorney General in submit

for increased appropriations, more
drastic laws and increasd authority
in the administration of the judiciary.
He reviewed the work of the depart

ed the exact status of the national
crime-quashing machinery.
Among the most important of the
recommendation submitted in the re-
port is that proposing the placing of
federal attorneys, assistant attorneys
and other officers under the civil SER
vice rules. If Congress will authorize
this, Mr. Wickersham said it will de-
velop the highest efficiency in the
ranks of the employees.
"The experience of the last year,
said Mr. Wickersham. lin endeavoring
to enforce criminal liability under the
Sherman law has not been encour-
aging" The Attorney General pre-
scented a long tabulated list of prose-
BUTTONS to bear out this assertion.
Considerable attention is given in
the report to the governments efforts
to safeguard water rights in the pro-
motion of reclamation works. He urg-

1t is now twenty-five years since the
Salesian missionaries determined to
carry the knowledge of Christianity
to the stolid, degraded natives of
what Fernando Magellan named the
Land of Fire. November 81, 1886, was
the date of their disembarking in
their new and unpromfsing field of
labor under the leadership of Bishop
Joseph Fagnano. Besides the archi-
pelago and the southern portion of the
mainland, the Falkland Islands were
placed under his jurisdiction.
The Tehuelches inhabited the main
ing. They were large, well-formed
men and had obtained some notions
of civilization from contact with the
whites. The AlacaMges lowered
around the strait. They were a
wretched lot, understood, sickly and
poverty-stricken, with all the outward
signs of their speedy disappearance
from the face of the earth.
Hidden in the unexplored fastness
of the principal island of the archi.
pelago, the Bishop found the remnants
of the Onas, a tribe of evil reputation
which seemed to be due rather to the
excuses of certain explorers and gold.
seekers than to any traits of the ma.
tives. The island, which is about hall
as large as the State of New York,
affords abundant pasturage for cattle
and can produce fine crops of oats
and barley.
The city of Punta Arenas was Sc
lected as the most promising site, and
there the Salesians erected a parish
church, the first brick building to be
built in town. A day school, board
ing school, a class in music, both
vocal and instrumental, an observ
atory and museum soon followed, moi
must mention be omitted Of the
festive oratory," that feature insep
arabic from Don Bosco's work. Ever
among the natives instrumental music
was taught with such success thai
there was formed a band of some
thirty instruments.
At the time when Bishop Fagnant
was placed over the mission, in 1886
the best available data place the In
habitants at 1900 Catholics, 1,70t
Protestants and 5000 Pagans. Twenty
years later the Catholics numbered

Forbes Lindsay. Published by L. c.
Page and Company, Boston. Price,
$500.
This volume contains an account of
the history and progress of Cuba from
the time of it's discovery down to the
present; a description of it's physical
features; a study of it's people and an
examination of it's political conditions
and natural and industrial resources.
The first half dozen chapters are of
more interest to the general reader
than the others. In them the author
deals with the history and status of
the people of Cuba and speaks sym
pathetically of their religious. and So
cial conditions, giving due credit to
the Catholic Church and her mission
aries for the good they have accom-
plished among the inhabitants. The
book abounds in excellent illustra-
lions and reflects great credit on the
publishers.

"Lead Kindly Liqht."

The story Of the hymn, Lead Kind
ly Light" was given in one of our
daily papers this week. A great
amount of praise has been wasted on
this effort Of Cardinal Newman. It
is generally misunderstood. Its popu-
larity is largely due to the extrava-
CANT praise given by Gladstone and in
this country, owing to it's favor with
President Mckinley But no Chris
tian who is satisfied with his religion
could use it in the sense in which
Newman wrote it. At the time or it's
composition, says the Catholic Regis
ter of Kansas City, he was practically
convinced of the inconsistent position
of the Anglican Church and not vet
ready to make his obedience to Rome.
1t was this light for which he prayed
lead Kindly Light The "encircl-
ing gloom" was his own religious
doubts Newman's value of the poem
was expressed when in later years a
friend asked him what he meant by
"those angel faces" He answered,
that he could not well say. He cx-
cuscd himself on the ground that a
man is not to be held responsible for
everything he writes under a poetic
spell, and further that when he wrote
the poem he was young and a very
sick man. For one to use it as a
Church hymn is to confess they are in

sure of their own religious convic-
tions.
