The Bishops Letter.
Mobile, Ala, Dec. 18th. 1914.
Dear Reverend Father: The annual
collection for the Orphans of the do
cese will oe taken up at Christmas.
This collection appeals very strong
ly to every charitable heart, for our
Asylums give a happy home and pro-
vide a Christmas education for a large
number of helpless little ones who
might otherwise be left without
home or proper training.
During the present year the Boys
Industrial school, Mobile, sheltered and
provided for 178 boys and there are
now 121 in the Asylum. The Asylum
on Cont street took care of 125 girls,
50 of whom are still in the Asylum.
The Maternity and Infant Home, Mo-
bile, received 107 infants and small
children, Al of whom are still in the
Home. The East Lake Asylum shelf
cred $50 children, lis of whom are still
in the Asylum. There is debt of S.
900 for improvements on the Girls
Asylum and S65O.00 on the Boys and a
deficit in the current expenses of the
year amounting to nearly $1,000. We
are grateful for a legacy of $250.00
from the estate of the late Felix Nc
Cam and $4,000 from the late Jacob
Pollock.
Although times are hard. we feel
that our faithful people will not neg
ject the orphans this year Aims
giving to the poor is a duty that de-
wolves on every Cchristian. Those who
have much should give generously
from their abundance. Those who
have but little should give cheerfully
a portion Of that which they have, for
the LORD loveth the cheerful giver''
II CorK7. Remember that in con-
tributing to the support of the orphans
you are lending to the Lord" who will
Himself be your reward exceedingly
great.
This letter is to be read on the Sun
day before the collection and on the
day itself Praying God to bless you
and your flock and grant you an aVHn-
dance Of His graces during the Holy
Christmas season, I am,
Faithfully yours in Christ

and strong as the typical
American child. Huerta has from
time to time sent little money to his
interned soldiers, and while the great
er part of it has been used to pur-
chase clothing they always manage to
have a little spending money. Know
ing this and the MeXican's love of
sweet things" Chaplain Axton set up
post exchange in camp and pressed
several of the refugees into service as
clerks. Pies, fruit. tobacco, candy,
eggs, cakes, canned goods, blankets
and clothing are on sale and the ex-
change has done a thriving business
sometimes selling as many as one
thousand pies a day. The profits are
used by the Chaplain to fix the wom-
ems quarters, especially the maternity
hospital. and recently he has opened
milk station for the children. In
deed, an entire story might be written
on the splendid work of the camp

U. S. Feeds Well.
1t must not be understood, however,
that the refugees lacked food, for
such Is not the case. as every morn
ing a plentiful supply Is given out by
Captain B. 2. Nicklin, the good-na-
tured commissary officer of the camp.

the chief surgeon, established a ma
ternity hospital. Only two of the ba-
bies died. Both of these had come
into the world while their mothers
were on the way from the border to
Fort Bliss.
A Good Chaplain.
For a time the condition of the
women and children was pitiable for
they were almost entirely without I'M
derwear and their dresses were in
rags. owing to the high altitude Of
Fort Bliss the nights and early morn
ings were very cold, and coming as
they did from a much warmer ell
mate their suffering from cold was
pathetic. Chaplain John T. Axton,
of the Twentieth Infantry, soon dis
covered their plight and set about to
make them comfortable. He enlisted
the sympathy Of several good women
In the South and East and inside Of
week donations Of wearing apparel
for women and children began to ar
rive by the wagon load. Chaplain
Axton Is an indefatigable worker, and
he did not rest until he saw that every
woman and child in camp had warm
clothing. Whenever money was sent
he used 1t to buy milk and eggs for
the children, with the result that the
poor little emaciated creatures who
came over from Mexico are now as

can beans, pepper and salt. Many Of
the refugees prefer to do their own
cooking as the tortillas (shortcake
minus the shortening) are more to
their taste than American bread. The
Mexican woman is resourceful as to
her household affairs, as she builds
or rather digs her stove. 1t consists
of two holes in the ground-one for
fire and the other to act as a sort of
chimney. The wood Is put Into one of
these holes, and as soon as 1t begins
to burn she covers it with piece Of
tin or sheet iron which serves as
the cake pan for the tortillas or a
stove plate for the few cooking uten-
sils that 90 to make up her kitchen.
She does her laundry work in the
most primitive fashion, making an old
board or box top take the place Of
the modern washboard. Nor does she
require a tub as she merely pours the
water on the clothing. The tent ropes
serve as clotheslines and the warm
sun Of Texas does the drying. Very
little ironing Is done as the clothing
Is pulled into shape while 1t Is dry

of soap has been given out by the
Commssary Department. Cleanliness
Of body Is insisted upon by the sur

Large Tax Payers.
Ireland contributes an annual aver

the Imperial treasury. About two
thirds of this Is spent in maintaining
the home government and in con-

third goes to the support of the Brit

1t was finally discovered that they had

then decided to charge the fence with
electricity, which at once put a stop

Brought Smallpox.
The refugees brought smallpox
with them, and almost before the camp
hospital was In working order one
man died Of the disease. The sur
geons at once saw the danger of an
epidemic and set about to avert it by
vacctnating everybody in camp and
putting on quarantine which has
only recently been lifted. During this
quarantine the writer was one Of the
few persons allowed to visit the refu-
gees. While the vaccination scars
were still fresh the refugees were COM
PEELED to submit to the typhoid inoc-
ulation as well. The result has been
only six deaths from smallpox and
no other contagious diseases were re-
ported. Naturally in a crowd so large
sickness and death are sure to occur.

Hundreds Of people gather every
day outside the fence, some out OF
curiosity and others who have friends
in camp and are anxious to get word
with them. FL Paso has thousands
of voluntary refugees who have com q

Many of the women did not know
what had become of their husbands

leo Is appalling, and relatives Of SOL
diers killed in battle never seem TO
learn anything about even the dispo-
sition of the bodies of their loved
ones. The women have como to take
these things as the fortune of war
and bear their sorrow with a stoicism
which the American woman cannot
understand. One refugee had lost
