Show Our Catholic exchanges complain that few Catholic millionaires are endowed with the philanthropic spirit of Car- negie. Rockefeller and other wealthy members of Protestant sects. Utai has no cause for grumbling on that score, especially the diocese of Salt Lake. The Kearns orphanage and the home ; for aged miners are monuments to the Catholic liberality and charity of ; wealthy members of the church. Neither is this philanthropy confined to persons counting their wealth in the ; seventh column of figures. It takes in ' the lucky miner with a soft spot'in his heart for God's poor and the orphan. For example, the last gift to Bishop Scanlan for the orphans copies through a bequest made by John Hendricks, bachelor, who died last week at Holy-Cross Holy-Cross hospital." Decedent's estate i.-J valued at $11,000, and half of it is directed di-rected to be handed over to the executors execu-tors of Kearns' orphanage. Just like a miner, Hendricks directed the other half to be given to the wife of a former for-mer partner, who shared in '.'fe the hardships of the prospector. |
