The Connecting Links.

During the half century of its ex-
istence Bethlehem Academy has been
presided over by nine Superiors,
namely, Mothers Josephine, Gertrude,
Vincentia, Constantia, Veronica, Vii
lana, Antoninus, Aquinata and Ansel-
mo who is now in charge of the Com
munity. OF these all are living except
Mothers Josephine, Gertrude and
Aquinata, and will be present at the
Jubilee celebration. Sister Benvenu-
Ia and Sister Veronica who are the
only surviving members of the orig
inal band who came to Faribault in
1865, are the connecting links between
the present and the past. Through
them the voice of the past is heard
They can speak with authority on the
privations and self-sacTifice of the in
FAINT community; they know the story
of the intervening decades and with
those who succeeded them they can
bear witness to the progress made by
Bethlehem Academy down to the
present day.
The most distinguished graduate of
the institution is Mother M. Samuel,
the present Mother General Of the
Order. who was elected to that posi-
ton on the death Of the late Mother
Emily who for nearly half century
presided over its destinies. Mother
Samuel is native of Faribault and
one of the forty members of the Com
munity who claim that city as the
place Of their birth.

CA 7ROLICS AID DRYs

The Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of Illinois at its forty-seyenth
annual convention in Paulist hall, Chi
cago, ON Sunday, June Is, officially
joined forces with the Dry Chicago
federation, and adopted resolutions de-
claring for the abolition of the liquor
traffic. A committee of five members
was selected by the officers of the
union to cooperate with the Fedora
ton in it's campaign to drive the
legalized saloon from Chicago.
The resolutions adopted by the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union were
in part as follows:

and religious motives, we cannot but

much to supply any legitimate want of
society as to create and extend

The Real Achievement.

But all this is the lesser achieve
ment. It's real success and highest
value to the community, the state and
the Church, lie in the work it has
done, the Christian education i'm

parochial school and convent during
all those years. The graduates now
occupy places of prominence in the
business and professional world, in

Wore Room Needed.

Betnlehem, which seemed SO spacious
a few years before, was filled to it's
utmost capacity, and it was found
necessary to enlarge the institution.
Accordingly, in the year 1900, the
north wing was erected, Mr.. Hanson
being the architect The Academy was
now we'll equipped, commodious, and
under the direction of an excellent
corps of teachers. A fair and promis-
ing future was in store for it. Young
girls came from far and near to avail
themselves of the advantages it Of
fered, nor were they disappointed in
their expectations.
In 1908 the Dominican Sisters found
it necessary to enlarge the Academy
again. By the addition of the south
wing, splendid structure, forty-eight
by sixty-four feet, and three stories
high, Bethlehem Academy assumed
its present proportions
Only seven years have passed since
then, but the progress of the school
has been remarkable. Better equip
ment has been added each year to
keep pace with the marvellous growth
and development along educational
lines. Within the last two years the
increase in attendance makes it
evident that in the near future
other buildings must be added
to accommodate the students. The
Academy is now modern in all it's
equipments; heated by steam; lighted
by electricity and thoroughly ven
tilated. It's healthful surroundings
and beautiful location make it espe-
cially attractive, and each year marks
some Improvement in its surroundings.

for defraying the cost of material and
labor, Providence came to her as
sistance in the persons of many kind
citizens who voluntarily offered to
advance the necessary funds.
The building was completed June
Il, 1876. 1t was splendid brick struc-
ture, sixty feet by sixty-four feet, and
three stories high. Its architectural
features We're attractive; and it had
no superior in those days. Thus was
the first permanent convent Beth
lehem Academy established in Fart
bault. With glad and grateful hearts,
the Sisters took possession of their
new Convent where religious observ-
ances could be maintained, where
everything was in keeping with the
religious life.
The Academy opened in September
with a marked increase in the number
of pupils. The location on an emf
hence from which an excellent view
could be obtained of the beautiful
scenery surrounding the city, the
healthful environment and pure at
mosphere were attractions which,
year after year, drew many pupils to
Bethlehem. The reputation of the
Academy became widespread, and to
give permanency to its work, the in
stitution was legally incorporated in
1885.

HIGHWAY EFFICIENCY

TTIGHwAY COMMISSIONER CUM
IL NINGHAM, speaking at Hunt
ingdon Friday night, told the
Chamber of Commerce of that place
something apparent to observers ever
since he assumed offlce-that 'effi-
cheney will be the first requisite of
those now in me State Highway De-
pertinent"
Mr. Cunningham very properly has
shown neither fear nor favor in re-
the affairs of the Highway
Department to meet the needs of the
as he sees them. Heads have
fallen right and left, but always to the
end that the service might be inn
proved. Cold-blooded business sense
has been displayed in every move he
has made. The dismissal of road
foremen, many of them not up to the
mark. has been made possible by the
purchase of cheap automobiles for
county superintendents. who are thus
enabled to do the work of superintend-
ing large stretches of highway. 1t is
not always that efficiency can be in
creased and expenses reduced at the
same time, but in this instance Mr..
seems to have accom-
plished that difficult task.
Those holding positions and for
whom there is work will be retained
and given an opportunity to demon
strate their fitness and ability to hold
the places they now occupy; political
pressure or the pressure of a political
boss will not hold anyone in his po-
sition if he lacks efficiency" says the
Nobody can object to that. It is
simply following a course in public
office such as every sane business man
adopts for his guidance in private
affairs.

state or by some historical society. A
few years ago there was reason to be-
lieve that the stones might be sold
and taken to the United States. At
that time the British Footpaths
Preservation Society tried to purchase
the acreage which includes all the
important ruins. but the owners price
of $3.50, 900 was considered excessive
and nothing came of the movement.
Immediately afterward, the owner,
the late Sir Edmund Antrobus, had
the monuments and the grounds sur
rounding them fenced in with barbed
wire, and collected twenty-five cents
each from all visitors. The Footpaths
Preservation Society contested the
legality of the erection of the fence,
but after a long fight the courts de-
eided in Sir Edmund's favor.

of life was very rare.
American property interests in
Cuba were small compared with Am
erican property interests in Mexico
under Diaz. The number of in
dividuals was also small compared
with the number who were in Mexico.
The Monroe Doctrine was not en-
dangered in Cuba any more than it
has been endangered in Mexico. The
real situation was properly described
by former President Benjamin Har-
rison as the necessity OF abating a
nuisance at our doors. The Mexican
situation is precisely the same.
President McKinley's relief pro-
clamation was generally accepted as a
veiled warning to Spain that if the
condition of the Cuban population
were not improved and If order was
not brought out of chaos, the United
States would intervene to end an in
tolerable situation.

coalition of the best elements failed

The course of events had shown that
it was inevitable.
More Americans have been murder
ed by the Mexican factions than lost

A national policy which is based on
a course that may require intervention
in order to make it effective is pretty
apt to end with Intervention. The
Mexican parallel to Cuba is sugges-
tive.

Whenever an employe quits a service

is best for the public to turn a deaf

quarrel is trivial matter and not

CANNOT KEEP HEALTHY WITHOUT

One way to keep healthy and live
long is to play golf, says a bulletin is
sued by the United States Public Health
Service. If you cannot be on the golf
links two hours a day, then you must
wheel a baby carriage or make garden
to keep your physique from degenerat-
ing. The bulletin says:
THE death rate after the age of 40
is increasing in spite of the more sani-
tary modes of living and greater pro-
lection against communicable disease.
The expectation of life after 40 is less
that ii was thirty years ago. This is
due largely to increased prevalence OF
the diseases of degeneration. The
muscles, arteries and other organs of
those who as a result of sedentary oc-
cupation or Incidence take too little

kidney disease and other ills follow.

TIME important work the lily L IdA-
ming Commission is doing for the
future of Harrisburg came to the
attention of the public again this week
with the consultation of noted engi-
neers in this city on matters now
under the consideration of the COM
mission. Just at present the public
spirited men who make UP the board
are giving much attention to the i'm
provement of the river basin produced
as a result of the building of the dam
at the lower end of the city, now in
the final stages of completion. But
the Planning Commission is doing very
much concerning which the people at
large never hear. for the reason that
II is not spectacular in its nature and
therefore very often escapes the public
prints. Nevertheless the problems that
are being solved, the precautions that
are being taken to prevent the en-
croachment of private interests on the
public domain and the marring of pub
lie thoroughfares and public property
by private selfshness or carelessness
and which are all work-a-day tasks be-
fore the Planning Commission, entitle
that body to the hearty thanks of
every resident of the city.
We live in delightful city of parks.

up a modern city, because the people
at the head of affairs some fifteen
years ago planned the things which
men with a broad vision of the future
and they were willing to undergo the
task of construction that We of this
day might reap the fruits of their
labors. Not all of us will see the
Harrisburg that these planners of to-
day have in their minds. and it is not
a matter of great regret that this
should be so. Possibly a third of the
improvements contemplated will be
completed in the near future. An
other third will be a matter of some
ten or fifteen years, but a future gem
Grafton will be called upon to carry to
elimination the comprehensive plans
now being outlined. The Harrisburg
of the next fifty years will be the better
for the work now being done and the
men who constitute the present City
Planning Commission will leave the
mark of their thoughtfulness and pub
lie spirit on the city for all time to
come. Theirs is a duty that necessi-
tates patience as we'll as ability, for
the most difficult task in the world for
men of enterprise and energy is that
which requires that they await the
slow developments of time for the ac-
complishment of those things which
they know to be desirable and which
lie nearest their hearts.
