A DEVOTED CATHOLIC.

Last Tuesday all that was NOR
tai of the late Mrs. Benjamin
Thompson Of this city was con-
signed to it's resting-place in Cal
vary Cemetery. Her death brought.
to a close a truly devoted Catho-
lie life. Mrs. Thompson was born
in Baltimore, of prominent Cath
Ollie family. She lived in st. Paul
from the time of her early girl
hood and took an active and prom
inent part in the social and relig-
ious life of the city. She was
dignified of bearing, kind and I'M
assuming in manner and made
many friends by her charm of
character and lovable disposition.
She took a great interest In every
thing that appertained to Catholic
charitable work and was the foun-
dress of the st. Paul Tabernacle
Society, an association of Catholic
women of the Twin Cities who
devote themselves to the task Of
making vestments, altar linens
and other supplies for poor
Echurches and missions. While the
society was organized primarily
for the purpose of aiding the
poorer parishes Of the Diocese of
st. Paul, it extended its benefac-
-tions far beyond these limits. In
deed, of late years, most of its
work has been done for the bene-
fit of needy parishes in localities
remote from ST. Paul. For many
years Mrs. Thompson was the
president of this society and never
relaxed her efforts to make it
worthy of the purpose for which
| it was founded. She was, at all
times, a stanch defender Of the
faith and never failed to take adj
vantage of an opportunity to
make the teachings of the Church
better understood and appreciated
by those outside the fold. Scores
of parishes throughout the great

PUBLIC SCHOOLS MUST BE-
WARE OF BEING ANTI
CATHOLIC.

In an article in the July issue
of the Metropolitan Magazine,
former President Roosevelt, speak
ing of the necessity of public
school boards steering clear of
anything that might SAVIOR of anti
Catholicism, says:
"The very fact that we believe,
as one of the cardinal principles
of our American public policy, in
the non-sectarian public school
system, supported by the money
of the State. should make us in
sist that Catholic and Protestant,
Jew and Gentle are in every re-
speet treated alike as regards
these schools. The Catholic must
be given exactly the same rights
as the Protestant in the manage
ment of the schools and in teach
ing them. The Protestant who
tries to keep school board ex-
clusively Protestant is an enemy
Of the public schools; and so is
he if he tries to do the same thing
with the teaching force.

BROKEN-DOWN.

The vice of intemperance, with it's
and unchastity, is the cause of more
sin and misery than any other form
of revolt against the law of God. The
concupiscence of the flesh is the pre-
dominant failing of the vast majority
of the human family, and is the source
of at least one-third of all the pauper,
ism and crime in civilized nations.
There is good reason for the opinion
that this vice is also the main source
of insanity and other diseases, directly
or indirectly. Gluttony alone, or
overeating, to use the more polite
term, fills a thousand graves, whilst
war and pestilence together fill only
ten. An amazing number of martyrs
to pain" that pass through life in an
incense cloud of sympathy, are in
reality martyrs to their bellies; and
most of those eminent citizens who
have "broken down from overwork,"
and are constrained to take long vaca-
tions and distant voyages, are simply
broken down from over-exertion with
cent of Bright's disease, rheumatism
whatever that is-neurasthenia, un.
fitness for duty, brought to the medi-
cal men for cure by merchants, law
yers, and physicians, is caused by
overlooking the stomach with pala-
table food or by taking alcoholic bev-
erages for the stomach's sake. The
theories on whiskey as panacea for
all the ills of middle life, inflicted
upon kind doctors by otherwise intel
ligent gentlemen, are positively in
Vulnerable. But it is stern fact
that no person has ever yet taken
habitually two or three drinks of
whiskey daily, or pint of claret, or
a quart of ale, and escaped chronic
alcoholism; and when such patient
comes to physician and prates about
"a breakdown from overwork" or
'the will of Cod" and the like, he is
either a hypocrite or a fool

WHAT OF OTHER MEMS SONS?

1t is quite the common thing for
brewers and liquor dealers to build
their homes not near saloons, but in
sections Of cities and towns where the
sale of liquor is prohibited. They
know SO much about the business that
they are anxious to keep their fami-
lies away from it's hurtful influence.
But what selfish, heaftless man the
brewer or liquor dealer must be who
will take SO much pains to protect
his sons and daughters and at the
same time do everything in his power
to entrap and ruin the sons and
daughters of others! 1t would seem
that If he had conscience it must
rebuke him. The habit that imperils

1 CELEBRATED CASE
HEIRS OF LATE JAMES CAMP
BELL FAIL TO BREAK WILL
WHICH MAKES ST. LOUIS
UNIVERSITY THE ULTIMATE
BENEFICIARY.

The st. Louis University is to be
congratulated on the developments of
the contest against the validity of the
will of the the late James Campbell,
who left sixteen million dollars to
be eventually used for the endow-
ment of medical department at the
great Jesuit educational institution in
the Mound City, writes DR.. Thomas
P. Hart in the Catholic Telegraph.
On May 6, the Circuit Court at
St. Louis, on the unanimous verdict
of the jury, decided that Lois Camp
bell Burkham is the daughter of the
testator; and, as it has been decided
in the trial of the case to make the
parentage of Mrs. Burkham the sole
issue, the judge, upon application of
attorneys for the defense, dismissed
the entire case, thereby denying the
contestants the right to trial upon
their allegations that Campbell was
of unsound mind and that he was I'M
duly Influenced in making the will.
The application for a new trial came
before the Circuit Court recently and
was refused.
1t is fortunate for the university
that the avarice of the contestants
led them into a premature attempt
to break the will. Had they been
able to restrain their greed for time
some of the most important witnesses
for the defense might have died,
while their own testimony would be
available at any time.
Although many years must elapse
before the university will come into
possession of the bequest, all persons,
interested in a high moral standard
for the medical profession, may well
rejoice at the outcome of the recent
suit. If there is any profession where
in there is a special need for the
knowledge and practice of true Chris.
tian ethics, it is that OF the healing
art.
There is a glorious future before
the Campbell Medical College Of the

The following rules concerning IN

To conductors and motormen of sur

or not in uniform, and the visiting or
frequenting of places where liquor is

Moreover, when employees are hired,
they sign and make oath to an appli-
cation in which the following question
is asked: DO you or have you ever
used intoxicating liquor?" And If the
answer is in the Affirmative, the ap-
plicant is not hired.
Further, before they are employed,
all applicants for employment before
being accepted, are interviewed by the

any form. At this time each appli-
cant is made to understand that the
acceptance of his application is on the
express understanding and condition
that he abstain entirely from the use
of all intoxicating liquors, whether on
or off duty, and from the visiting of
places where liquor is sold.
If our employees are found violat-
ing any of the above provisions, they
are severely dealt with, and are usual
ly discharged provided, of course,
that the company is satisfied of the
