This is good news. He should belong to the American public rather than to a single parish or diocese. He is a man of rare intellectual power, of catholic spirit and broad sympathies. It has been my good fortune to hear many of the most gifted men in the American church. In profounditiy and originality of thought, lucidity of style and eloquence of delivery, Dr. Cathell ranks with the first of them. He is mature in his power and his treatment of subjects reveals research and reflection brought to happy fruition. I hope Texas and the South may have the good fortune to hear him.

" 'Let him sit on mah left side,' said the Lawd. "Den Ah heard a terrible knockln' at de gate, and de angels all trembled. "St Peter opened the gate carefully an' den he turned roun an said to de Lawd: 'You'll have to get down an give him your seat, Lawd. It's Mistah Roosevelt."

POSTAL DEFICIT LARGEST III HISTORY

Annual Report for Fiscal Year Shows Arrears More Than $16,000,000. NEED BUSINESS SYSTEM. GOOD ROADS BECOME NECESSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL FREE DELIVERY SERVICE THROUGHOUT COUNTRY. Washington, November CO. In his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, Postmaster-General Meyer gives the total receipts for the year as $191,478,663.41 and the total expenditures as $206,301,886.15, there by showing a deficit of $16,873,222.74, the largest in the history of the department, with an additional loss from fire, burglary, &c, of $37,056.25. The deficit of 1900 It is estimated again will exceed $16,000,000. Attention is particularly called to a number of improvements in business methods of the department as tending to its advantage and the saving of con siderable amounts. Recommendation is again made for the creation of the position of director of posts, at a high salary, and who shall hold office dur ing good behavior, the object being to have a continuity of policies for the benefit of the postal service and the people of the United States. The necessity for good roads lis pointed out in connection with the de velopment of the rural free delivery service. It Is suggested that should congress grant the department author ity to utilize rural routes still further by the establishment of a limited par eel post confined entirely to rural de livery routes, it would then be possi ble to earn additional revenue amount ing to millions of dollars and at the same time benefit the farmer by enabling him to have merchandise deliv ered when ordered by telephone or postal card, which, otherwise would not be purchased.

Editor Palladium: I have had several traces of my hus band, Eugene Dilley, who is missing since you printed my last letter. have found that he has been at sever al places in both Indiana and Illinois, but some way those who saw him did not know where he belonged until he was gone. Those who see him know that he is not just right, but do not realize his true condition. As near as we 'can learn, he always gives the name of some place he is trying to get to, for His home. He has at times traveled nearly in a circle; goes in one direction one day and nearly op posite the next. It seems that people and officers ' assist him with money and transportation, and in this way he is always on the move. We have miss ed him twice by just two days. Can not some one who sees this and sees him in the future hold him, or have an officer to, until they can communi cate with me. Look for the horse shoe shaped scar on the left side of head.

IN THE WOMAN'S WORLD

What They Are DoingLittle Things of Interest.

ST. CATHERINE PARTY. A Jolly Evening With the Patron 8aint of Old Maids. Every dog has his day, and the old maid, not the up to date bachelor girl who scorns such a useless piece of furniture in her cozy little apartment as a husband, but the genuinely sentimental old maid, can have a day on the 25th of November if she so desires, for this is St Catherine's day, the patron saint of "old maids." In France even the twentieth century maiden takes her love affairs seriously, and she goes to church bright and early on the 25th of November armed with a bouquet, which she lays upon the altar, offering at the same time a prayer to St Catherine to send her a husband and "soon, please, dear St Catherine." The American girl cuts out the religious ceremony on this auspicious occasion,' and, though her heart be aching, she makes merry with a party, and if she prsys it is not like the Pharisee on the street corner, but in secret beside her couch bed. A Jolly old maid a namesake, by the way, of the martyred St. Catherine of Alexandria Is sending out invitations for a "rally," as she flippantly calls her St. Catherine's party. These Invitations are in the guise of postcards with little Sally Water of nursery fame weeping and walling for a young man as the decorative feature, and they read: A 8T. CATHERINE'S RALLY. Come and help me elect husband. I-t meetlns before the campaign closes. November twenty-fifth, nine p. m. The guests will not be bidden apparently to the house of mirth, for in the reception room all is uncertainty and gloom. Funeral looking gray moss, caught up with pierced silver hearts, drapes the room, and the only light Is that from numberless candles held In sconces and candlesticks hung with black. Suspended from the central chandelier is a ballot box, the bottom of which is covered with thin paper. Through a central opening depend streamers of red ribbon. The .box is black and lettered in red matrimonial ballot. After greeting their hostess each guest will be asked to vote, which means to pull an end of the ribbon hanging from the ballot box. On the box end is attached a piece of paper with a number on it. About the room are men's coats of various sizes with corresponding numbers on them. The girls match their numbers to the coats, and the man whose numeral corresponds to that of a girl's must try to All the garment and become the fiance of the owner for the evening. Lots of fun ensues during this casting and recasting of votes. ' A game to be played later on is accomplished by having prepared beforehand as many peanut shells as there are people, each one filled with a paper ou which are several letters of a word, and the complement of letters is placed in another shell. The shells are tied together with narrow ribbon. The object of the game is to find the person who has the letters completing the word. The letters of the words are divided evenly between the men and the girls that is, a man has one part of the word and a girl the other half. After talking with his partner for ten minutes the girls go out of the room and tjje men are handed cards on which are the following questions: "What is the color of her eyes?" 'The shade of her hair?" "How Is her hair arranged?" "The style of her frock 7' "What color is it?" The man who answers the greatest number of questions satisfactorily is presented with a prize. When supper is announced St Catherine is supposed to have taken pity on the old maids, and, having provided each with a prospective husband, all is Joy. The supper room is brightly lighted, in marked contrast with the gloom that has previously prevail. As this company is to be a email one. a large round table seats BENEFITS MILLIONS BY COURT'S INJUNCTION HAZEN HYDE. New York, Nov. SO.

them anl adovs tne center or xne table is hung a small sised child's jumping hoop, bound with gold colored crape paper, symbolical of the wedding ring. Holding the hoop in position are converging strings of white satin ribbon that meet in the center and are tied to the bottom of the gas fixture. Graduated ends of this half inch ribbon are bung at intervals downward from the hoop, and on the ends of each ribbon is a Cupid, the shorter loops holding a small god of love and the longer ones a larger figure. In the center of the table and under the chandelier decoration is a huge white frosted cake ornamented with an upstanding figure of St Catherine. The ices are in the form of a saint with a halo about her head, and all the decorations are carried out in the same "good" fashion.

A 8upper 8alsd. A toothsome salad may be arranged of fruit and lettuce for a little supper after the theater or for any informal evening occasion. Cups are made out of the heart of lettuce, and in each is put sliced pears, apples, bananas and walnuts covered with mayonnaise or French dressing. It can be prepared beforehand and pnt into the refrigerator to chill. It 6hould be served cold on dainty little plates. With it have sandwiches made of thin slices of graham bread covered with French dressing and boiled red Spanish peppers with celery chopped up and put under the peppers. Cocoanut Drops. Take one pound of grated cocoanut, half a pound of pulverized sugar and the whites of four eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Have enough white of egg to wet the sugar and cocoanut. Beat together thoroughly, drop on buttered tins in drops tbe size of a coin and bake. CRET0NNETTE WORK. MAglcal Effects Arrived at In a Short Time. Votaries of the lighter forms of fancy work, who are ever anxious to obtain wonderful results in a short space of time with very little tronble to themselves, will find in cretonnette work the ideal of their dreams, so magical are the achievements quickly arrived at, while it offers at the same time ample scope for the exercise of individuality, originality and skill, the effective grouping of designs and arrangements of color schemes calling into play the ingenuity of the worker. The materials for cretonnette work are simple and readily obtained. All that is necessary are a few odd remPOTIiT IN CBXTONNE. nants of cretonne possessing bold, artistic designs, some white curtain net, a pair of sharp embroidery scissors and a little strong gum arable. Silk or satin for lining purposes is also frequently called into requisition, as well as some of the numerous edgings used by fancy workers, whether chiffon, ruchngs, fringe, ribbon or lace. ' Suppose a set of three transparent mats for a polished wood dressing table is desired. Many modern toilet tables are covered with a sheet of plate glass, on which mats ornamented in tbe manner about to be described are particularly pleasing. A duchess cloth usually measures about 12 by 45 Inches. This Is first cut out In tbe net, a tiny portion Is turned In all around and tbe lace or chiffon edging added before any decoration is attempted. A length of cretonne is next selected, on which are depicted bold, realistic roses in shades of pink and crimson. The worker will carefully cut out the flowers, buds and foliage and glue them beneath the net. taking care that all delicate stems and sharp corners are well secured. Bit by bit, adding a few leaves here, a cluster of buds there, a most realistic looking spray can be evolved. If tbe mat is a very large one several sprays of Tarylng lengths should be arranged with studied carelessness. For small mats, be tbey round, square or heart shaped, large single roses look welL Seen through the softening veil of net the bright colors of tbe cretonne are pleasingly subdued, while the blurred effect adds an elusive charm. A toilet set. Including sachets of various shapes and sizes, all harmonizing with the tints of the room, is remarkably chic and dainty. Sachets must, of course, be lined with silk or satin. In these cases it is naturally far easier to apply the cut out flowers, etc., on to the foundation and then cover with the net.
