The attendants at the Holy Child Jesue academy opened the new scholastic scho-lastic year with high mass and benediction bene-diction at the cathedral given by Father Delahunty. The marvelous success this academy has achieved as a teaching institution these late years has vastly increased the number of pupils and applicants are being made not only from Wyoming Wyom-ing ,but as well from the surrounding states. The sisters of the Holy Child Jesus hold pre-eminence amongst the teaching teach-ing orders of the west .greatest precaution pre-caution being used in the acceptance of applicants to their teaching staff. They are keenly alive to the fact that in a country such as America, .where the best may be had in education.! where our state governments zealously and handsomely foster educational interest, in-terest, where teaching bodies abound, elated with success, they-will maintain pre-eminence only by proficiency in the teachers and thorough up-to-dateness of method. They guard studiously against the fever of expansion, lest rapid propagation propa-gation might mar their efficiency. Not the most but the best schools so runs their motto. The work of the Cheyenne academy is now fully recognized. . The brightest, perhaps, of our western bishops said recently that beyond a doubt the Cheyenne Chey-enne academy is the best" in the Western West-ern country and an eminent ecclesiastic ecclesi-astic visited it lately, desirous to see this much-lauded institution. Its climate, its sunshine, its park, its lawns, flowers and Its lake,, all concur to make Cheyenne the gem of western cities and the queen of the plains. The academy is situate! close. to. the state capitol opposite the park in the prettiest part of the city. Its location and the fresh breezes from Lake Minnehaha Min-nehaha render it most healthy for the boarders. Their number, always increasing, is thi year exceptionally large. The-applicants have already returned .except a few who will come later. Work commenced with an appropriate appropri-ate address to the young ladies by Father Charles O'Connor. -The-elo-quent young priest spoke of aids and hindrances to fruitful study. Father O'Connor said: "Dear Young Ladies: 'It is now well nigh, three month's since it devolved upon me to address you on en occasion occa-sion similar in nature to the present, but dissimilar in its influences. "You then inhaled the balmy air, you bathed in the glorious, "smiling sun of a schoolboy's perfect day:- - "Your , minds that morning thought only of prizes, ribbons of good conduct, con-duct, medals and " crowns,' and your fancy wander to that dear old home, those flowers and shrubs, and especially especial-ly to mamma, to Bertha and to Mabel. "That morning my graceless speech' or even the music of eloquence would have failed to concentrate your attention atten-tion upon a subject from which the fascination of that magic art would fail as completely to divert your present thoughts and broodings. You then watched the schoolboy's morn loom up radiant in the east; now the shades of the schoolboy's night begin to encircle you for the schoolboy's day is his holiday, holi-day, his night the scholastic year. "As for all, so even for you, happy youths, life is not meant to be only roses, sunshine and vacation. "I expressed the' presumption that morning that at best some of you might take in the world's fair. I and maybe you. too, know a man who would qualify truths to him unsavory, as bold statements. I am not, I feel, inflicting in-flicting a bold statement upon you when I say that any one present who went to St. Louis, being now here, must have come back. "Yes, you are all back again to begin another scholastic year and I shall offer a few suggestions, which mas-aid mas-aid you reap therefrom those advantages advan-tages the best disposed amongst you and the parents of all expect. "God gives to each great opportunities, opportuni-ties, and nature and men's needs would have us utilize them to the full. Yet many accomplish but little. Men largely do not think, they dream' all the time. They run their course, but their purpose ia defeated. Our best moral sentiments are simply admirable. We love instinctively the good, the holy, the pure, the beautiful, the sublime. sub-lime. Personal happiness urges ue to meet our fellows in a spirit of kindness kind-ness and I should feel it to the very heart's core if any heedlessness and lack of foresight Inflicted pain. Inconveniences, Incon-veniences, any evil small or great, upon my brother man. These beautiful sentiments the soul feeds upon, but infirm flesh wearie3 and leaves today's work for tbe morrow. mor-row. All feel that to be helpful u good and desirable, but the selfish many unconsciously perhaps, but only too effectively, ef-fectively, restrict and minimize their pretense for good. The earnestness such people lack I would recommend to you in your preparation prep-aration for the great mission each one will be called upon to fulfill some future fu-ture day. Every branch of your curriculum you should enter into with a will to succeed. Persuade yourselves that you need to study, to know. The acquisition of knowledge is slow and "painful, for in- telligence is doled out sparingly to the multitude. At the end of even a well spent year you will have added but little to your stock of knowledge. Up the incline of life ignorance will hamper ham-per you; It hampers us all hourly. But knowledge is not found in books alone. Men may be divided-into three classes. Some possess general and varied va-ried information, although circumstances circum-stances deprived them of a liberal education. edu-cation. Others again combine with the study of books observation in nature's field; and then there is the book worm, least successful in the pursuit of useful learning. Observation, with adding to our stock of knowledge, fosters reflection, which in turn gives independence of thought. Grace and variety in conversation is a rare and valuable gift; and he best appreciates this who lacks it most. Time fails us to engage in many studies, stud-ies, but the thoughtful will bring to conversation upon any topic things good to know and pleasing to hear. Crave to know everything. Bestow-much Bestow-much solicitude upon your best faculty. facul-ty. Information is the death of small-ness, small-ness, sameness, prejudice, and renders life enjoyable; for it is pleasing to hear a well informed man, more even than it is irritating to listen to an untrained mind. It is not long since I met a man who in twenty-five minutes touched upon twelve different topics of conversation. I supposed him intoxicated. intoxi-cated. No, he was stupid. A certain form of light literature the novel endears itself quickly to the youthful. It forms the reading matter largely of those whose pursuits are not literary. Its good lies principally in the fact that all, even the slothful, feel its fascination and will read. The best novel portrays the real in life, the good especially; for it is more natural and easy to imitate what is good than to find out and resolve to be the opposite of a bad character. The good cheers and encourages: the bad-example bad-example often perverts, and even he whom it improves feels that his journey jour-ney to wisdom's sacred . temple was nerve shocking, even as Dante's journey jour-ney through hell. Impelled by a craving, when not a craze to read much, the novel devourer seldom gets the full and real benefit to be derived from such reading. But especiallyand es-peciallyand this concerns you directly direct-ly he becomes incapable, or at least averse to serious study. But while I would exhort you to moderation mod-eration in the selection and use of novels for the present. I implore you to guard against what young people, rather than control, are too often, alas! controlled by their passions. What student but knows 'that -colleges and academies are very hot-beds of foolish, unnatural affections!' Par ticular friendships obscure the intellect, intel-lect, enfeeble the will, torture the heart, weaken the physique, and make life a burden. Intense lovers are bad students. Natural as the feeling is, to yield indicates or engenders vulgarity and depravity. So, then, dear ladies, correct views, straighten intentions. Commencing with God's grace and a will to succeed, this new year will prove, under guidance guid-ance of these good Sisters, one of the happiest and most fruitful of, I hope, a long, happy life. CASPER, WYO. Slate Senator Pat Sullivan of Casper, VNyo., and H. L. Reed, both prominent sheepmen of that section, were in the city last week and had sheep on the South Omaha market, says the Omaha Bee. They report having found a satisfactory sat-isfactory market and that sheep on the range never were in better condition. The same is true of cattle. The principal interest at Casper centers cen-ters around the fight for the 'removal of the capital to that place from Chey-enee. Chey-enee. The people of Casper urge that the town is the center of the state and that the surrounding country is rapidly rapid-ly forging to the front. The assurance Is given that in case the capital is located lo-cated there the Northwestern road will build on to the west, where it will tap the rich coal fields, and it is this fact that is giving the town the support of the western section of the sta?.e, as well as that of the northern section of the northern portion. According to Mr. Sullivan's observations the chances of Casper winning out in the fight are first-class, in which event the people of that city propose to build a new state capitol building and donate it to the state. ROCK SPRINGS, T7Y0. Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Quinn of Evans-ton Evans-ton are spending several days in the city. 4 The friends of Miss Hayes, who has been for some time a. teacher in the city schools.- will regret to learn of the death of her mother, which occurred at Wood River, Neb., on Aug. 31. Misses Irene Noble, Ethel Biscom, Hilda Anderson, Maggie Griffiths and Edith Leadbeater left last week-for Ogden. where they will attend the Sacred Sa-cred Heart academy. f . - The farewell reception tendered to Hon. John S. Davis by the employes of the Central Coal & Coke company was a most successful affair and was attended at-tended by a large number of Mr. Davis' Da-vis' friends. A very neat and attractive band stand has been erected by the city councjl on the vacant block immediately immediate-ly north of the residence of W. C. C. Freeman. The Union Pacific, as had been agreed, upon, laid out a square around the stand and paved it with several inches of Sherman gravel which, when fenced, will make a very attractive plat of ground and will be quite a help toward beautifying that portion of the town. The credit of obtaining ob-taining this improvement is largely due to Mr. O. P. Thayer and Mr. Healy, who have been untiring in their efforts for several months to .obtain a place of out-door amusement. Miner. DIAMONDVILLE, WYO.
