New Ideas for Cities.

The city management plan which has
been In operation in Dayton, Ohio. a
little more than a year has developed
a number Of innovations in public well
fare service. For example, a weekly
school meeting is held, at which the
policemen of the city receive definite
instruction as to the best methods of
performing their numerous duties.
A f1re-prevention survey of every
dwelling and business house In the city
Is credited with having reduced the
number of fire runs 20 per cent during
the last three months. A free legal
advice bureau has been established, to
give legal service to those unable to
pay for 1t. Over a hundred cases re-
ceived attention during the first month.
The cultivation OF vacant lots has
been made an important feature. Over
$4,000 garden plots have been culti-
waited by school children during the
past summer under the direction of
paid instructors.

Well that night a crowd of people

The Panaman idea of drinking is not
to gulp, but to sip. One of his drinks,
for example, consists Of a dash of West

a great stroke. Box and gallery went
wild with applause, and the young
Hoods showered the successful matador
with their headgear. There was some

his life out.
such is the Panama bullfght, and
it is a pleasure to note that it is
rapidly falling from it's high estate;
for as the Yankee has more than
once gone to the bullfight. so the COM

So two conceptions of amusement have
met and modified each, other on the

to some extent the primitive thrill of

THE POOR OF CHILL ENDURE
GREAT HARpsHIPs.

There are five or six thousand
homeless Indians camped in a race
course near Iquique, Chilli, who are
literally without roof to cover them.
The Government and the religious
communities feed them, and one of
the priests says Mass for them on
Sundays and feast days in the open
air.
Rev. Robert MacNeely, who gives
this information, says he recently had
an experience that never happened to
him before. He went to say Mass for
the Redemptorist Fathers who have
charge of number of small villages
near the foot of the Andes mountains.
There he gave their first communion
to a number of hare-footed little boys
and girls. Other years the Redemp-
florists had found means to give the
first communicates, who are Indians
and always very poor, a new suit and
shoes, but this year they found it i'm
possible, as they needed all the money
they could collect to buy food.
While the nitrate mines remain
closed great misery will exist. The
Government intends to, start a new
railway soon, and will employ about
fifteen hundred men, but thousands of
the employed must depend on the
charity of the missionaries and the
aid of the Government. There is
great need for assistance in this part
of the world, remote as it seems from
the scenes of war.

1t may be interesting to you and

quantities of tea are swallowed in an
endeavor to fix prices for material.
Then the material is weighed pound

what that must be. Buyer and seller

scales never agree, that is the reason
for their existence.
Let me explain what the plant is.
The church is to be the largest in these
parts, one of the most beautiful in
Central China. Dimensions are 99x40
feet, with tower 80 feet high, the larg-
est and highest point in the city, and
the cross will dominate the country
side. Around the church are. to be
grouped an orphan asylum for the re-
covery, reception and education of the

has achieved her greatest victories in
the face of the greatest powers of the
world. First she subdued the Roman
Empire; after it's fall she met the
Teutonic Emperors as a rival; and
now, after the Holy Roman Empire
has passed away, she still treats with
the governments as an equal. She
is the only organization which has
succeeded in adapting herself to the
varying needs of men for nineteen
hundred years. Again and again she
has fallen into servitude of German
Emperors, of Roman Mobiles, of the
kings of France; again and again she
has risen with undiminished vitality.
1t is not strange that many who think
that some divine power stood behind
the early Christian Church should be-
lieve that the same power guides and
preserves the Church of Rome.
There have been great crises in
her history. She might have been
destroyed when the barbarians over
ran Italy; she might have been wreck
ed by the Reformation of the six
teenth century; she might have been
ruined in the nineteenth century if
the Pope had been made the head OF
confederated Italy; and she may be
vanquished in the twentieth by the
spirit of American democracy, but

THE ONLY IDEAL CHURCH FOR
HUMANITY.

1.-THE great opposition to the Roman
Church in the sixteenth century was
the opposition of race and nationality.
The Reformation was the awakening
of the Teutonic races to the differ
ences that separated them from the
Latin races; northern nations felt the
swelling of national instincts, and the
bonds of the universal Church were
broken. From then until today the
sentiment of nationality has been pre-
dominant; that sentiment reached it's
zenith in the end of the century and
is already beginning to wane. Cos
mopolitanism is establishing; here
after other bonds than those of COM
mon country will group men together.
signs appear that the breaking up
of nationality will begin in the Unit
ed States. There will be in that
country three principal parties: those
of English, German and Irish descent;
but there will be other stocks. The
motto e pluribus unum' will be more
true than ever. But the whole so
formed will not have that unity of
inheritance, of habits, of pleasures,
of tradition, or organization which
makes a nation. The United States
will be the one great cosmopolitan
country. In such a country with no
purely national feeling to, be stirred
to opposition, PROSECUTING church
prudent and bold will have great op-
portunities. Most of the German ele-
ment will be Protestant, but it will
hardly strengthen the Protestant
cause, it will not unite with the Eng
lish Protestant section. The Irish
will be Catholics, almost to a man;
and they have an ardent loyalty OF
nature which will naturally turn them
to the support of their church. In
the midst of cosmopolitan indiffer-
ences and disagreement the Church OF
Rome will be then as she has always
been, the one Church which draws
to herself men of all European races
There is but one Church whose priests
visit every people and hear confes
sions in every language. There is but
one cosmopolitan Church. BY the
time the United States shall be &C
knowledged to be the richest and most
powerful nation in the world, the at
titude of the Papacy will already have
been determined The Church reads
the signs of the times, and will have
girded herself for the great task OF
controlling the religious life of the
majority of the American people.
In the past the Roman Church
