The committee appointed to wait upon the president and invite him to the congress reported that the president received them most cordially and hand somely and assured them that if it was not for the duties of preparing his an nual message he would be too happy to be with them, but wobld be with them at the university dedication.

But we cannot shut our eyes to the many things that threaten those institu tions. Although wealth has greatly increased, we find incipient pauperism and men, women and children without the advantages of edu cation and religion. Remembering tho dis tinction between paganism and Christianity and those things that advance Christianity We favor measures by which these are to be secured. We recognize education as one of the chief factors and recommend popular ed ucation with moral training for our youth. Hut as in the state schools no provision is made for religions training we must continue our system so that the benefits of Christian education may be given to all the Catholic children in the United States. Tho Evils of Divorce. The resolutions then inveigh against divorce as bringing ruin and disgrace upon the peo ple and threatening the morality of the whole country. On societies the report holds that it is not sufficient for Catholics tc shun had societies, they ought to take part in good ones. Con cert of action is necessary to accomplish much and societies must not form on race or nationality basis. The plan and form of St. Vincent de Paul society is recommended as a typical society. Extension of societies is recommended to relieve widows and orphans. Another danger menacing the republic is constant conflict between capital and labor and it is with feelings of regret that the an tagonism between labor and capital Is wit nessed, for it imperils society. We condemn nihilism, socialism and communism, and we equally condemn the heartless greed of capi talists. The remedy for trouble between labor and capital must be sought in the mediation of tho church by its action on the individual conscience and in such civil en actments os are necessary. Tho paramount right of labor to organize societies for its protection and benefit is recognized. Toe employment of very young minors is disap proved. , Aid of the Laity Invoked. The laity Is invoked to aid the clergy in all educational, economical and social questions, protest against change in the policy of the government fn the manner of educating the Indians by which they will be deprived of Christian teachings, deep interest in the negro race and pledge to assist tho vlergy in the reformation of their condition. Ad ministration of the rites of tlie Catholic •church is demanded for inmates of penal and other public institutions. Alliance should be sought with non-Cath- oiics in bringing about better observance of tho Sabbath. Sunday liquor selling is exco riated and the passage of a law forbidding the sale'of intoxicated persons is urged. They extol the Catholic press, and hope for the establishment of Catholic dailies in the large cities and a Catholic united press; ex press a desire for proper devotional church music. The Holy See. The section on the holy sec Is as follows: We are convinced that tho absolute inde pendence of the holy see is equally indispensa ble to.the peace of the church and welfare of mankind (great applause), and demand in the name of nature,humanity and justice that this freedom be scrupulously respected by all secu lar governments. We protest against the as sumption by any sueh government of the right to control the action of the holy father the pope by any form or public act without having first obtained his free and full consent and a probation. Wo pledge to Leo XIII the loyal sympathy and aid of all his spiritual children in vindicating his right to inde pendence. Chicago Cet- : llie International Congress. Tlie <:cmmittce on future congresses, it was explained by Mr. Onahan, of Chicago, had held ua meeting, there fore would not report at this congress. Mr. Oral an moved that an international congress be held in 1892 in Chicago. Mr. Campbell, oi.' New York, said the internationa congress should be held in the city where the world’s fair is held. Onahan accepted the amendment, for he said the world’s fair was to be held rains in the season of blossoming. Ten nessee reports injury to the crop by wot weather, lack of cultivation and early frosts during the past month. In these states the crop is much worse than that of last year. Elsewhere the crop is comparatively late, especially from South Carolina to Alabama, with large growth of .weed. Manhattan, Kan., has a missing county treasurer, James Fortmer, and a safe which can’t be opened, from which $30,009 is sup posed to be missing. The keeper of the morgue in New York city states that four-fifths of the 5,000 bodies that reach the city dead house every year are sent there by drunkenness. The Fan-American excursion wound up at Philadelphia Monday. The delegates are of one mind that this is a great country and that they would like to trade with us. Emil Lochning, a butcher of Baltimore, was so badly beaten by three brothers named Kessling, who keep a saloon, and an other named William Wiegroff, that he will die. Hon. Samuel E.

The weather for picking has been re markably, assuring the gathering with out waste of all that is opened in excel lent condition. The fiber is grading comparatively high. _ Notwithstanding the rough condi tions arising from abnormal distribu tion of moisture, affecting cultivation, growth and fruitage, the indications of yield per acre by county correspondents are 3 per cent, higher'than last year. So niuoh sail depends on future killing frosts and sunny ueather for opening and gathering, that the result cannot be known very closely until after Christmas.

Horan, who was well known in the in ner circle of District Assembly 49, Knights of Labor, as “Billy Brown, of Baltimore,” died Monday night.

He went everywhere wh^ve workingmen were engaged in local contests or trouble with their employers. Vienna. by the Women’s Temperance Union. Chicago, Nov. 14.—The feature of the day in the Women’s Christian Temper ance Union convention was the discus sion of the non-partisan amendment to the constitution presented by Mrs. Fos ter, of Iowa. It was rejected amid great excitement and some bitter feel ing was aroused. A number of interesting addresses and reports were read. Mrs. S. A. Mo* Clees, of New Jersey, who read the re port on “soldiers and sailors” announced that President Harrison had just sent out an order forbidding the sale of liquor by settlers in military camps. Tlie convention adopted a vote of thanks to Gen. Schofield and Gen. Howard for the example of total abstinence set by them for their inferiors. The majority report from the com mittee on resolutions was presented to the convention. Touching the non- pai-tisan question it reads as follows: “We believe it is vital to the temper ance reform that the principle of pro hibition be made the dominant issue in American politics. We therefore give our approval to that party only which declares in its platform for prohibition in state and nation and stands in action for its application to law. ” A minority report was brought in by B NIGHTS OF LABOR.

T. V. Powderly and John W. Hayes. An invitation was formally tendered to President Livingstone, of the Georgia alliance, to address the convention. This seems to indicate that tho knights want an expression of opinion from the Farmers’ alliance as to the proposed federation with the Knights of Labor. The remainder of the session was de voted to routine business. A minority report was Drought in by Mrs. Mattie Bailey, of Iowa, which' de clared it unjust and unwise for the .or- only gates. The majority report was adopted by an almost unanimous vote. The ~Towa delegation bolted the con vention. REYISED PLAYING EULES.

At Michigan City, Ind., Monday night, John Barrett died in the penitentiary after serving One month of a twenty-year sentence for murdering* his aged wife. At St. Louis Engineer Robinson suicided because’to£ incurable grief for his wife, who died five years ago. Secretary Rusk is the most eccentric mem ber of the cabinet. He is thoroughly demo cratic in his tastes and there is an under current of hostility between him and the aristocratic secretary of state. Blaine and Rusk are about as different in tastes and habits as two men could be, and, it is rumored, they are very sarcastic toward each other at cabinet meetings. Mr. Harri son’s sympathy seems to bo with Rusk. The claim of one Beauliew, at Quebec, to a share in the $1,000,000 estate left by his great grandfather, CoL Alex. Frazer, de pends upon the question whether the forced marriage of CoL Frazer to ah Indian girl, Angeliqne Meadows, in the northwest, in 1188, to save his life according to tho Indian customs was legal or not. Col. Ffazer lived with the Indian woman for years and- ac knowledged her as his wife. A former court decision was that the marriage fiad not been proven. ' : ' ■■ ■ 1 . so that the moment the umpire de livers the new, or alternate ball, it should immediately come into play; that is, the pitcher must not throw it to a baseman or discolor, as has been the custom, by rubbing it in the dirt. It is a change to prevent unnecessary delay in the game. Rule 25,-section 8, as amended, pro vides that a game shall be forfeited If a side fails to resume playing within one minute after play has been called by the umpire when a game has been sus pended. Substitute Players. Rule 28, section 2 (substitutes) is changed so as to allow the names of two extra players to be placed on the score card instead of one as heretofore. It also allows a club to substitute an extra 1 player at any stage of the game. Rule 47, section 4 (returning to bases) as changed provides that a base runner shall return to his base and shall be en titled to so return without being out if the person or clothing of the umpire in terfere with the catcher or is struck by a ball thrown by the catcher to inter cept a base runner. Rule 48, section 12 (when base runners are out) is altered so as to prevent double: play when a base runner is struck by a fair hit ball before it touches fielder. Rule 52, section 1 (power and juris diction of the umpire) is amended by tlie addition of the following phrase The umpire must invariably be ad dressed by the jjlayers as Mr. Umpire.
