How Some People Go Crazy.

DIDN'T [ tell you that The Christian Her.
- aid, Of New York City, was the great
American church-paper which made a spe-
clalty of hunting up orphans in China
Japan, India, Africa and BeIoochistan?
Ii didn't, [ meant to. Before long, I will
show you the pictures Of some of those little
yellow, little brown, little black orphans that
you are clothing, feeding, housing and edu-
eating in China, Africa, &c.
In it's issue for this week, the Herald saws:
Good is raising up friends for the orphans
Of China"
Maybe that's the reason nobody seems to
be raising up friends for the orphans Of
America.
During this terrible winter in New York
City, scores of white children, some of whom
were orphans, and some of whom were the
plteous offspring of pauper parents have fro
zen, starved Or died Of negIented sickness.
These orphans did not worry The Cb1is-
Hago Herald at all. These orphans might all
have been saved, reared and educated on the
money which the Herald was sending to those
orphans in China.
But these American orphans have no high
priced missionaries to act as brokers and
solicitors for them.
These American orphans do not furnish
employment to a missionary man and wife,
at 81 500 year.
These American orphans do not furnish an
excuse and a seeming reason for the elaborate,
luxurious and self-perpetuating system of
Foreign Missions.
Therefore, these American orphans are left
to perish in utter neglect, while the Herald
prints week after week, the photographs of
the fat boys and girls Of China, beautifully
dressed and having every appearance of the
tenderest missionary care.
While the missionary draws tace1ty dollars
a year for each of these Chinese children, he
draws one hundred dollars year for each Of
his own children, besides drawing salary of
from 81, 200 to $1,000 year FOR himself and
wife
No wonder he prefers the Chinese orphan
to the American orphan!
It is the orphan in China that ral1es the
chestnuts for the missionary See?

Men and Women?
FOR many years, a negro named Rucker,
held the office of Collector of Internal
Revenue for Georgia. Under him, were many
white men, and the insolence of this coon-in-
office came very near to plunging North Geor-
gia into a scene of riot and bloodshed.
Ii Judge Fite had stood his ground at that
time, and not allowed this negro to tramplo
on the State Courts, the usurpation Of Federal
officials would have been given a Wholesome
setback
It afterwards turned out that the reason
why this negro Rucker held on SO long was
that Congressman William II. Howard was
Fuckers bacller-Howard's father-in-law
having fat job under the negro.
When the truth leaked out, Congressman
Howard and his negro had to get out, also.
But, at present, we seem to have another
case precisely similar
II. L. Johnson, an Atlanta negro was
appointed Recorder of Deeds in Washington
by President Taft
Of course, the Georgia Democrats h0wIed
long and loud over this appointment. The
office pays $4,000 a year and it is mostly white
people who have business in the office
The employees under the negro johnson,
include white gentlemen and white ladies'
These white ladies have to obey this negro,
and to submit to the petty huniliations
naturally incident to that state of affairs.

Who is it that is keeping Johnson in his

Why is it that Senator Michael Hoke
Smith-the Goliath-does not put forth his
mighty arm and thrust this Atlanta negro
Republican out?
Is there no white Democrat in Georgia fit
to hold the place that Johnson holds?
Is there no white Democrat, devoted to
Michael Hoke, who would love to draw that
$4,000 per?
Senator Smith is now, about to face the
people!
He has lodged behind his Executive Com
His next fight must be in the open, before
the people.
And the white voters will want to know

negro to hold that big Office.
IF Senator Smith is the mental mastodon,

that his molass2s- brigade proclaim, let us see

In recent number of the very dull NeoO
World, I CHANGED upon the following dolorous
bit of information:
AT THE ELEVATION OF THE HOST
Pope Plus, has granted an indulgence of seven
years and seven guarantees for looking at the
Sacred Host when it is elevated during Mass or
exposed on the altar, and saying ''Ny Lord and
My God The Abbot of Ampleforth, in his beau
tiful meditations on the Mass recently published,
speaks of this upward look as "the conservation
OF our eyes, to preserve them from danger
throughout the day. Yet, even now a glance
round the Church at Elevation will show that of
fifty people, scarcely two will give the Sacred
Host the prescribed form of veneration or reap
for themselves the rich reward of it.
That is what you might call bad news for
Papa.
Let me explain that ''the host" is piece
of wafer, about as large as poker chip. or a
Mexican silver dollar, or the bic red real
which the Notary Public stamps upon deeds.
This wafer is sometimes cooked dough- and
sometimes it is rice flake. It remains wafer
for weeks, months or years, as the case may
be, until some priest, like Hans Schmidt, or
Father SchadeWell, or Francis Doyle. mutters
a Latin prayer over it. Then the bread or
the rice, Immediately become the actual body
of Christ.
This bit of bread is then |<the Host" and
all good foot-kissers must kneel devoutly
when Schmidt, or Schadewell, or Doyle lift
it up.
This taking the bread in the hands and
lifting it up, is called "the elevation of the
Host"
Now, in the goodness of his heart, Papa
Sarto- Plus X.-proclaimed to the
whole foot-kissing world that qChoever qc0nzd
look at this piece of bread which Schmidt &
Co. were holding up would be granted 'an
indulgence for seven years and seven quaran-
tines"
An indulgence granted by Papa, is more
or less "a remission Of sins"
For looking at the bread, and saying to the
bread, the words, Only Lord and my God"
Papa would remit sins for seven years and
$50 days!
Think Of that! Wicked people can cut up
many dido in $50 days, to say nothing of
what they can do in seven years.
The Pope tells his children to look at the
bread, and to call it "God; :" and then he the
Pope, will take a spiritual sponge, and wipe
sins off the safe, to the extent Of Z years and
$50 days.
Nevertheless, the Noao World bewails the
fact that "a glance round the church will
show that out of 50 people, scarcely taqo" will
look at the bread and call it "My Lord and
my God"
WHAT Is the congregation so small as
so? Out of a whole city-f can only so
foot-kissers be gathered together to see James
Edward Quigley make God out of a pan
cake?
And can it be that "scarcely two" of this
so will gain a slate-wiping Of years and

CHILD DEVELOPS
 CATTLE DISEASE First Case Shows Up In Akron, Ohio -one Thousand Children Are
 Quarantined.

AKRON, O., Nov. 11-In spite of the efforts of the federal and state authorities to prevent the spreading of the foot and mouth disease now prevalent among the cattle of many states to human beings, a school girl of this city has developed the dis. ease and is being quarantined to pre- vent its spread to others.
 The health officers have immediate ly ordered the closing of all the schools and the quarantining of one thousand pupils of the schools and ex- .tra doctors have been appointed to make inspections and locate any oth- CT children suffering with the cattle disease.
 Health officers all over the state are inspecting the schools and watch ing for the first symptoms of the scourge and all teachers have been directed how to recognize it and must report immediately.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-The Federation of Labor now in session in this city will request President Wilson to operate the Colorado coal mines under government rules and regulations. The operators have re- fused to grant a three-year truce asked by President Wilson and it is urged now by the laborites that the government should take charge of the mines and operate them, paying a fair price for labor and marketing the coal at a reasonable profit.
 It is known that Secretary of La bor Wilson is anxious to try the gov ernment operation of the mines and believes that the trouble between op- orator and miner can then be avoided.

VIENNA, Nov. 1.-The Russians have resumed the siege of Przemysl, which they had abandoned that the force of troops surrounding the city might be used against the Austrian force along the aSn river. With the retirement of the German line the Austrian force has also fallen back and the Russian advance again sur rounds Przemysl.
 Garrison Strengthened.
 During the time the Russians left the city one new army corps were sent into the forts and large amount of supplies for the city and the army was also gathered and rush. ed to Przemysl besides all non-com- batants who desired were given an opportunity to leave, thus relieving the authorities of heavy burden. New Krupp siege guns with long range were installed in the forts and it is expected that the Russians will be unable to take the forts and that their advance upon Austria will be blocked, as they dare not leave the Austrian forts in their rear.

CARRANzA GRANTS
 J. 5. REQUEST Will Give Immunity To All Mexicans In Vera Cruz-Wants Mexican
 City Evacuated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Provis- ional President Carranza has notified the State department that his gov ernment will agree to the American request for immunity for all Mexi. cans in Vera Cruz provided the Unit ed States government will fix a date for the evacuation of the city by Gen. eral Funston and his troops.
 It is not believed here that the re- quest of the provisional government in Mexico will be granted, as the oc- cupation at Vera Cruz will continue until a stable government is establish ed in Mexico. Until the fight between Carranza and Villa is decided and the many questions regarding losses of life and property of foreigners in Mexico is cleaned up and a satisfactory set clement made the troops are to re- main at Vera Cruz so that city may be used as a base for military oper- ations in case of need.
 The foreign governments interested in Mexico have urged the United states to protect their citizens in the republic and to continue the oc- cupation as a means to that end.

 Session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-Secretary Daniels of the Navy department will ask congress to appropriate enough money for the building of two more battleships, four fast battle cruisers, 20 submarines and a number of tor pedo boat destroyers.
 The secretary insists that now is the time to prepare for war and that the better we are prepared to meet a foe the less chance there is that we will have to fight. The ability to protect ourselves is necessary to maintain our international relations as a world power and to receive con- sideration from other powers. The ability to enforce respect Is the only manner of securing it, is the way the secretary puts 1t, and a navy big and strong and efficient will make all pow CTS considerate of our desires.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Turkish commander of Beirut has not flied the American consul at that place that for every Mohammedan killed by the bombardment of unfor tified towns from the battleships of the allies he would execute three British and French subjects.
 The communication was made to the American consul, as that official represents both the British and French interests in Turkey and Asia now that war has been declared.
 The threat is made only when un' fortified towns are bombarded, but as few Turkish towns are fortified they would be immune from attack by the warships under the construction of international law as taken by the Turkish commander. The foreign residents in Turkish cities have been arrested and are held as hostages by the authorities.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The war depart. ment has announced that the French and British armies would soon have a large number of powerful mobile siege guns which have just been manufactured. The new guns are pat termed after the famous Krupp guns and are improved.
 Following the capture of the first German siege gun, when General won Kluck retired from Paris, military ord nance experts from the French and British governments were set to work to copy the new gun and the factories in England, where great steel works are maintained, and those of the French government and of private concerns were started at work on the new guns as planned by the ex' perts.
 The new gun is larger than that first used by the Germans at Namur and tests made to date show it to be the most powerful gun yet devils. ed. The French gun. like that of the Germans, must be used at an eleva- tion and is on the plan of the howitz. CTS.
