New York. Jan. 6.-Seversi hundred
persons were overcome with smoke,
cut by flying glass or bruised and in
jured in a fire in subway train at
the height Of the rush hour today.
In the ensuing panic the police 10
| sued the statement that there were
twelve known dead, but this proved
to be unfounded, there being only
one known dead at noon today. Some
reports had the dead ranging from
twenty to two hundred.
The fire started from an electrical
explosion In stalled train between
50th and 59th streets. The passengers
jammed in this and the other stalled
trains of eight cars, each began fight
ing their way out of the narrow doors
at each end of the train where exit
was safest.
Up and down the tracks in the semi
darkness they ran miraculously avoid

sucking through the tube like flue
overtaking them and many of them
dropping unconscious and in panic.
Many were trampled at both the
50th and 59th street stations.
As the smoke began choking per
sons at the stations a mile away, the
city awoke to the fact that something
horrible was occurring under the
streets The entire fire department
and all ambulances and pulmotors
were called ont Man holes were rip
ped up, and choking. senseless vic.
tins were lifted from below through
these smoking holes.

MISSIONARY WORK ABROAD.

Distance lends enchantment to the
view even in spiritual exercises and
religious work. We lift our heads
from our burdensome tasks and cast
our eyes upon others who are engaged
in similar activities, and we imagine
them to be sowing seed that is reap
+ ing fruit a thousand fold while ours
4 is confined to thirty, or to none at all.
N Protestants are disposed to look at
Catholic missionary enterprises with
4 envious eyes, and Catholics praise
aProtestants for their zeal and 5fber-
@ality. The Intermountain Catholic re
minds us of this when it discusses in
late issue the difference between the
methods of the two systems of relig-
asion, and wishes that our people might
be more enthusiastic and generous in
the support they give to laborers con
the foreign field:
"The growth and influence and en-
s9thusiasm of Protestant missionary ef-
fort bid fair to dwarf our Catholic mis-
sions. Protestant missionary effort is
backed by the enthusiastic support of
the people who stay at home. Ample
means are afforded those in the field
to push their work farther and farther
s;each year. Our Catholic missions are
hgnored by the people at home. No
means are supplied the missionaries in
the field even to hold the ground they
have won. The one only hope for
Catholic missionary success in the
east is to arouse those who are keep
ing aloof from the work to knowl-
edge of the conditions that obtain in
~the missionary fields today.
81 Unless a worldwide awakening
takes place soon, Professionalism will
have won the day in the distant east.

8fact among Catholics that missionary
jeffort under Protestant auspices did

not effect much-that it nowise threat

f1uence of Catholic missions, but that
view is no longer. tenable. AS time
goes on the battle between Catholi-
cism and Professionalism along the
whole line of mission activity becomes
more acute struggle. II
A study of the means and mode of
work of Protestants will show whether
our forces are equal to the struggle
that is before them. Protestant mis-
sions are well organized and are sup
ported generously by the offerings Of
the peopIes at home !; their matt We mis-

win all paganism to- Professionalism.
Asia has 972 100000 inhabitants, Africa
170O0O,000, the South Seas 1000, 900.
1t is believed that some day all these
will be Christian. Therefore the high
est interests of the Church demand
that these great portions OF the human
family should not be affeeted BY the
Ieaven of Professionalism and come uIl-
der an overwhelming Protestant in
fluence.
While we would not belittle the ef-
forts of non Catholics to evangelize
the pagan world, a personal knowledge
of missionary labors in India and Bur
nah leads us to say that Catholic mis-
sionaries abroad are just as successful
in their work, subject to greater sac
srifices, winners sof more souls, than
are the workers of the different forms
of Protestant faith. They make a dol

GRATITUDE FROM A BISHOP.

& s
We are accustomed to record the
demands Of our priests and bishops
in the difficult districts in the mission
world. Sometimes. however, a letter
comes which registers only the heart
felt gratitude of one who has been the
recipient of generous aims from
America.
Such is. Bishop ]. G. Combaz of Ma
gasaki, who writes:
81 have no words to express my
thanks for the assistance given me.
During this time of distress | had re-
course to Our Lady of Japan. She
deigned to intercede for me with her
Divine Son, and aid came most unex-
pectedly. I am asking her now to
bless my benefactors and send them
the graces Of which they stand most
in need. l also intend to offer up a
Mass for their Intentions.
Surely the friends who helped
Bishop Combaz will be glad to know
that he has not forgotten them nor
the intentions they may have had in
offering him their prayers and their
money.

"How WOULD YOU LIKE lTr

Suppose you believed that your
church was the only true church, and
that in it alone you could find saliva
tion. Suppose you believed it to be
the official representative of God on
earth.
And Suppose that some person
should publish a paper, the sole OBJ
ject of which was to, disparage your
church, and that week after week the
said paper should be filled with all
sorts of accusations against your
church, calculated to give its readers
the impression that your church was
the concrete embodiment of evil, and
that all its teachings were false, and
all its influence was evil, how would
you like that?
Jesus said, Whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even
so to them" Are you trying to obey
that command, or do you think there
are exceptions to it?
The paper which is excoriating the
Church of Rome, week by week, is
/ doing three very harmful things:
1. 1t is playing into the hands OF
the Roman hierarchy by embittering
Romanists against Professionalism
Any person who knows anything of
human nature, will see at. once that
this must be SO. And anyone who
will read the Roman Catholic papers,
will see that it is so Every intel
ligent Christian should wish to see
Roman Catholics converted to the
( true religion of Christ and every man
4 who knows his own heart, must know

that If he was Romanist, the per-
sistent publication of what he be-
Heved to be slander against his
church, would turn him against the
church from which these attacks
emanated
2. The paper in question is injuring
greatly its Protestant readers by
teaching them to think unjustly and
uncharitably, and to look upon their
Roman Catholic fellow-citizens as enc
mics; or as foes of the free institu-
tions of this country, and therefore to
be looked upon with distrust and sus-
picion. A
8. The tendency of this fierce cru
.sade against the Roman Church is to
stir up religious strife, and that is the
bitterest kind, of strife, and the most
un-Christian. The, development of a
spirit of enmity between Protestants
and Romanists generally would be one
of the very worst evils that could be
introduced into the country.
We. have received number of let.
ters criticising our attitude in, this
matter, and we are not surprised at
receiving them, for persons who have
been feeding on such teaching as
that ofgthe5 Menace, could scarcely be
expected to listen with patience at
first to warning of the evil effects
of such a publication, They have re-
ceived a distorted impression with re-
gard to the Church of Rome by read.

studied this matter face to face for

Roller Here Last Night-Assured
Bailey Of His Good Condition

John Perrilli, well-known boxer, is to
be the man DR. B. f. Roller win face in
the ring in Festival hall Friday evening
In 10-round bout. Perrilli is an old-time
boxer and wrestler and weighs 30
pounds, shade lighter than Dr. Roller
These two men have something Of
little grudge Not many months ago
while wrestling in Springfield they tried
to turn the wrestling bout into boxing
carnival with the result that their meeting
for the time being was called off by Jim
Barnes, who promoted that match and
was refereeing it. Mr.. Barnes will referee
the bout here Friday evening.
George w. Bailey, who is promoting
this match, tried to get Jim Essen, the
giant Scotchman, who recently knocked
Roller out in the first few seconds of their
match at Montreal, to come here, but Jim
held his services at prohibitive price.
| Perrilli is in the pink of condition and
has been engaged in fstic matches all
winter and this spring. He will arrive
from New York early Friday morning for
rest before meeting the physician.
| DR.. Roller went through Brattleboro
from Springfield last night on his way to
Montreal to keep an engagement and as
sured Bailey at the train that he would
! be here TO meet Perrilli He said that
while the match with Zbyszko in Spring

again in good condition,
There will be a preliminary match.
