LIGHTNING
Strikes Denver Cathedral
and Spire Topples
235 Feet.

Shortly after 2 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon, August Z, the west tower
of the new Denver Cathedral was
struck by lightning, and with a
thunder equaling in intensity the
report from the heavens, twenty-five
feet of the top came crashing to
the ground, throwing huge hundred
pound blocks on all sides. The
beautiful flamboyant cap browning
the corner spire and set proudly in
place two years ago, slid down the
west slant of the tower, glanced
from the roof, and was imbedded in
the ground 235 feet below. With II
came huge segment from the north
side of the tower summit, leaving a
large gap through to the sky. All
the side pinnacles and balconies in
the path of the falling rock were
carried down with the avalanche.
The damage is estimated at SIS, 900,
partially covered by insurance. Re-
pair work will be begun as soon as
the necessary stone can be ordered
from Bedford, Ind. The huge
scaffolding will have to be recon
structed, and two or three months
will be required. The regular work
will not be impeded, and capped or
otherwise, the handsome structure
will probably be dedicated on the
original date, October rs, a lasting
tribute to the indomitable courage
and persistency of the Cathedral
parish and its rector even under ad-
verse conditions. 1t is considered
nothing short of wonder that no.
body was injured.

CHARACTER AND EFFICIENCY.

Previous to and since the recent gu
bernatorial primary held by the demo-
Gratis of South Carolina, most of the
democratic newspapers in Virginia
walled and wept over the election and
denomination of Blease by his party in
tie Palmetto Stare for governor. These
Virginia papers, with one accord, pro-
nounced Blease 2 disgrace to his state.
We thought at the time, and we think
SC still, that the democratic journals of
Virginia ought to have remembered
that the fellow who lives in a glass
house ought not to throw stones. They
Ought to have remembered that the
democrats of Virginia at the last state
election selected a man for governor
with a most unsavory record, and that
many of them have all the while been
ashamed of him.
In the campaign which preceded the
primary the democrats select

appointments?

The school year has again begun.
Refreshed by the long summer vacation
and with an eagerness for study teachers
and pupils meet together for the long
months of the school year. 1t is a some
what anxious and trying time, especially
for teachers who are new to their schools.
They are anxious to make a good i'm
preston upon the pupils and win their
confidence and esteem because thew
know full well that if this not secured
the year is going to be exceedingly try
ing. In producing this much desired end
parents can play a most important part.
They should instruct their children to
render obedience to their teacher and to
respond diligently and cheerfully to all
the efforts which teachers, almost with
out exception so ccDscientiously and ably
display in teaching the children. Then.
too, parents can and should help the
the teachers by refusing to listen to the
many foolish stories and complaints that
often bring nome concerning their teach
ers. There are no more faithful and
cansiderste public servants than the
teachers of our public schools. They
are experts in their line specially train
ed for the work of teaching, and ninty-
nine times out of hundred in all mat
tiers concerning education and school
they are more competent to
Judge than parents. If is this were
more fully borne in mind tie lot OF the
would be far more pleasant
and the school work more successful.
The man who will not change his
views for fear of being called a pervert
II a renegat is a coward. and the man
Who is SO set in his opinions that he re-
uses to listen to reason is fossil.
