as We have in this country, thus de-
priving the church services of much
of their charm. The Catholic mis-
si0naries have been very successful,
| making an average of 100000 con-
verts a year. There are now 1,S00,-
600 Catholic converts in China. The
coolies, who form the working class,
are a Woodworking and honest class
Of people, and honesty means some
thing to man making only about 5
cents day with board or 10 cents
without board. Father Doolin had
many thrilling adventures, especially
during the Boxer movement, when,
on one occasion, good American
weapons, handled with skill and cour-
age, saved his own life and that of
his mission. The people of Algiers
will have another chance to hear the
eloquent young missionary, for he
has promised to stop over on his way
back to San Francisco.
Rev. NJ. Byrne, chaplain of the
Federal prison in Atlanta, returned
to his work last Friday, after very
enjoyable trip. He made a very IA
vorable impression at the convention
by the earnestness of his purpose in
the welfare of the prisoners under
his care
