Genera-Ihe Bishop Of Lausdnne.-The
conflict at Geneva has entered on
distinctly new phase. Although the thea
tire of the struggle is small aud compare
lively Insignificant, the struggle itself is
calculated to fix the attention of the whole
Catholic world not only because OF the
interest and sympathy which Mgr. Mermll
lod,s name excites wherever it is Known,
but because of the magnitude of tbeissues
involved. In order to put the present state
of the affair as clearly as possible, it will
he better to deal with it under two aspects

ment with the Bishops of Lausanne aud
of Hebron, and it's relations with the paro-
chial clergy of the Canton. Taking these
in order, we must premise that the English
press have not yet succeeded In gettlnG
complete grasp of the facts. Even the
| Spsctator, which is never intentionally un-
fair. ia not quite accurate in this instance:
It saws, "facts prove that Mgr. Mermlliod
ia recognized as Bishop of Geneva, and that
his appointment has been made oy tne
HOLY See without communication with Tue
/ Go1erpment." This is calculated to mis-
lead. Nor is it correct to say, az the spec
tdtor does, that till now or lately, Mgr
M.rmiIlod was by no means the spir'tua
4 overseer of the Genevese clergy, since n
ONLY exercised his functions under cover
the personal responsibility of the bishoI
of Lausanne" THE will presently appea

Dividing the Spells.

a question is raised by Mr.. John A. Par
:ker, OF New York, as to whether the gov
erRment will be entitled to the balance lett
above all legal claims filed on account OF the
difference between gold and legal tender.
The aggregate of claims filed is about ST.
765. Os5. -Four millions are purely consequent
tial damages, with a large amount of double
claims, reducing the bona fde claims, as al
lowed, a little bslow eleven millions of dollars,
but say. $lE. coo, 600. The interest on this sum
for nine years at six per cent. Is s5,94O, 600;
together these sums equal SIG, 94O. 900, the
amount Of claims allowed and Interest. At
the present rate of gold, or say l29 per cent,
fifteen and a halt millions would yield a pre-
MUM of 81, 1916, Os0; together these sums equal
SIT, 375, 600; in ca lrrency to pay $l6,s 600
claims ard interest.
The Joints raise, against the government
are that the govern ment made the treaty ior
Its own vindication, and that each govern
msnt agreed to pay is expenses; and lastly,
that the allegiance of IL e citizen carries With
1t a right of protection at the expense OF the
government.

CameI's-Hair Dresses.

When John the Baptist began to preach
in the wilderness it was noticed as an unu!
sual fact that he arrayed himself in cancels
hair apparel. 1t wa not for the lack Of
better material that he chose this singular
suit, because even In the days OF Solomon
the markets OF India could boast OF silks and
fine trimmed linen equal to anything pro-
duced in the looms Of the present day. No
mention is made OF the style of st. Johns
camel.hair raiment; though it Is fair to pre-
sumo that it was not fashionable. Nor is 1t
likely that he wore unmentionables.
Did his prophetic ken ioresee the day
when the cloth Of his preference would be
all the rage In Paris and in New York.
| Hardly. Yet such Is the fact. Ladies' jour.
| nails tell US that 10 addition to the very
costly varieties Of camels-hair goods hereto
fore received, there have been added within
the last week several less expensive
kinds. For example:
In the ecru, gray, smoke and slate. colored
tints there Is a striped material which Is novel
and very beautiful.
Another variety has satin strIpes-in some
Instances plain, and In others In brocade
figures.
brocaded satin figures.
The instructed reader OF the sacred nara
tive will naturally inquire into the proba'
bility OF the locusts and wild honey with
which St. Johns raiment is inseparably as
