ED GATHERING.

The barren nature of the recent
Pan-Protestant Congress held at
Panama has evoked the following
clever satire from our able contem-
porary, America"
Alice was behaving like a little
angel. She was sitting perfectly
quiet without saying word, as her
mother had told her. She had been
dutifully listening, too, while the
ladies discoursed; but it was all SO
boresome; she had much rather be
upstairs playing with Dinah. She be-
gan to feel drowsy in the big chair
in which she had been sitting now
for nearly an hour. But gracious!
it would never do to fall asleep! So
she began going over in her mind
what the ladies we're talking about.
First, there was the Pan-Protestant
Congress at Panama, which meant,
Alice told herself, that some of all
the different kinds of Protestants were
going to Panama, where the Panama
hats come from. Next the principal
object of this Congress, as the stout
old lady near the window had
declared, was to settle on some way
of bringing Christianity to the natives
of South America, who must be,
Alice concluded, a wild sort of peo-
pie that ran about with rings in their
noses
The convention hall was filled to
overfowing. Alice, seated with the
Duchess in the gallery, thought she
had never before seen so many differ
ent creatures. And all were talking at
once. The hubbub was deafening.
"Do tell me, what it's all about,
begged Alice.
Its joke, Imy DEAR" replied the
Duchess. "Tfere goes the March
Hare now. He'll explain"
AS she spoke, the March Hare in
evening clothes ascended the plat
form, and raped for order. Ladies
and Gentlemen said he, striking a
dignified posture, with one hand under
his coattaiIs, 1--WE are assembled, as
you know, to bring light and peace
consolation and joy to that wretched

What absurdity!" exclaimed Alice
"Glorious," said the Duchess tense

REVEREND HENRY JAJESKI, PAS
TOR OF ST. CASlMIR's POLISH
CHURCH, SHOT DOWN WHILE IN
CONFESSIONAL ON SATURDAY
EVENING, MARCH d.

The City of ST. Paul was stirred to
the depths of horror by the report
that a Catholic priest had been shot
down in cold blood while attending to
his priestly duties in the Confessional.
Reverend Henry Jajeski, pastor of st.
Casimir'S Polish Catholic Church in
st. Paul, had gone into the Confes-
sional as usual and had been hearing
confessions for more than an hour.
AS he sat and held small crucifiX in
one hand Il woman from Minneapolis,
Mrs. Nellie Dudek by name, ap-
preached the Confessional. She had
been kneeling before the altar. AS a
left the box this woman arose, walked
deliberately towards the Confessional
which was an open one, drew a re-
vOlver from her muff and pointing the
weapon at the priest, fired five shots.
Two of these shots took immediate
effect, one striking the priest over the
eye and piercing the brain while
another lodged in the stomach.
After a struggle the woman was
oVerpOwered and only the prompt
arrival of the police saved her from
serious violence at the hands of the
enraged crowd which quickly gath
cred. She was brought at once to po-
lice headquarters, where she was
questioned closely by County Attorney
r. D. OBrien and the police officials.
She is married and has seven children.
An inquiry is being conducted at pres

her sanity, as she is reported to be

ANTI=CATHOLIC MOVEMENT

Lesson To the Catholic Bodv

their own candidates.
Lesson to the Catholic Body.
'"The anti-C Catholic movements in
the United States have been for the
most part complex movements, made
up Of many factors, and therefore often
hard to analyZe. But there is a les
son to the corporate Catholic body of
the United States in their history.
There is special lesson to the Cath
olic body of the city of Philadelphia,
where so many unpleasant scenes have
occurred to stain the national honor
in this matter Of religious liberty, and
that lesson is the necessity Of unity
in our ranks. In speaking of this
necessity l want to hint at one of our
Weaknesses today-it is the lack of
unity of very special kind, and for
which no one can be held responsible.
"It is the fact that the Catholics of
Irish, Polish, German, Lithuanian and
Italian blood, who make up the Church
here, are as much apart as if they
were of different faith. We have all
our own organizations, but what we
need is municipal organization which
will bind us all into one brotherhood,
not for any sordid political end, but
for the defense of the fundamental law
of the land-religious liberty. We
ought all to learn what our German,
Polish, French and Italian brothers are
doing to preserve the faith in their
own ranks. There will be several
amazing surprises for many of us.
Their organizations are about as per-
feet as one could wish, and this alone
would show how much we are losing,
spiritually at least, by the present sys-

ANOTHER ELECTION
AROUSES OMAHA
Five Year Street Lighting Con.
tract Tosses About in Vor-
tex of Votes.
HOWELL PLANS CAMPAIGN

Omaha will have the pleasure of an
other election, which is scheduled for
Tuesday, December 5, three weeks
from next Tuesday The campaign
is now on. The issues are not whether
General George Harries OF the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company
kept Omaha out of war, or whether
r. B. Howell, general manager OF the
municipal water plant, is too proud
to fight. The issue is, will the voters
of Omaha approve or reject the five
year street lighting contract allowed
the light company by the city coun-
Gil?
The fight against the contract is
being made by R. B. Howell from his
office in the city hall. His purpose
is to defeat the contract and thus
make the way easier for him to put
through his plan of maintaining a
municipal light plant in connection
with the municipal water plant.
Legal Opinion.
~ Mr.. Howell announces he received
from Attorney Webster of the Met
ropolitan Water district an opinion,
stating that the city has no power at
this time to acquire the plant of the
Omaha Electric Light and Power
company by condemnation proceed
ings, but the city has power to con-
denim land for use in constructing a
new plant. Mr.. Howell wants the
city council to appropriate the light
ing fund for his proposed municipal
lighting system, instead of spending
the money as proposed in the five
year contract, which will be contested
at the forthcoming special election.
Claims of Defense.
Those who are defending the five
year street lighting contract claim the
following:
There will be total of 2,488 lamps
as against l,4l7 now in use, without
increase of cost to the city. The in
crease of lamps will be LII. A COM
plete, efficient and>decorative orna-
mental street lighting system for the
business section of the city without
any investment on the part of the city
or merchants. The entire cost OF
additional installation is borne by the
company. Reduces the cost Of lighting
street intersection about $24, which
means that almost two intersections
can be lighted for the present cost Of
one intersection. About rs per cent
of dark street intersections can be
lighted without additional cost to city,
thereby giving better police protection
Throughout the entire city. The de-
mands for more street lighting con-
stantly made by the people can be met
without immediate increase in our
lighting fund. The contract does away
with the present old-style arc lamps,
which are obsolete, and secures for
the city the most improved arc lamp
known to the electrical industry for
street lighting purposes.

China Has Nation
Away From Home

Correspondence OF The Associated Prsss.)
Picking, Sept. 1o.-Nine million Chi.
nese subjects are living outside OF
Chinese territory, according to a
census just compiled by the ministry
of commerce and agriculture. India
has attracted more Chinese than any
single country. The census shows
that there are 100000 Chinese in In
dia, while Cochin China ranks second
with 100000 Chinese. About the
same number have settled in Siam,
where they practically control impor-
tant business and have become i'm
mensely wealthy. Five hundred thou
sand Chinese are living in Siberia and
the same number are In the Malacca
Peninsula. Hongkong, an English
colony, shelters 100000 Chinese and
100000 are living in Canada and
Mexico.
The census estimates that 100000
Chinese are residing in the United
States and Europe, but no estimate is
given as to the exact number in the
United States.

Correspondence of The Associated pres..)

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Washington, Nov. Advancing of
highway improvements has been
thoroughly Investigated by experts
of the Department of Agrieulture's d.
vision of road economics who recom-
mend to people Of counties and NUM-
cipalities intending to rise funds for
the advantages of the deferred serial
plan over the ordinary sinking fund
plan. Under the serial plan, certain
amount of bonds is retired each year
and the bonds SO retired cease to be
an interest charge on the community.
Under the sinking-fund plan none of
the bonds is retirable until the end of
definite period, and the entire sum
raised bears interest for the entire
life of the bond.
The departments experts say I'M
der the ordinary sinking-fund plan
communities pay interest on the
money borrowed and in addition set
aside each year as a sinking fund an
amount sufficient to retire all the
bonds when they become due. The
sinking-fund is deposited with banks
and earns some interest. That in
terest ordinarily is only 3 per cent,
whereas the communities pay 5 or
per cent to its bondholders. The
serial plan is much cheaper, even
though the sinking fund earns inter-
est as high as per cent, and in the
opinion of the road specialists should
be utilized whenever it is possible to
market serial bonds.
A report ,on the subject has just
been published by the Department Of
Agriculture, which is distributing it to
interested persons upon application.
