Nervousness on tho increase.

It is asserted by the best medical au-
tborities in the country that the general
nervousness Of our people is due to great
business pressure combined Sith the
dryuess Of our climate, under which
the constitution Of Americans has so
changed that it is not possible now for
us to withstand what our progenItors
could endure or undergo with IMMUNITY
I We are far more sensitive to cold and
heat than we were half century IN
the past, when sunstrokes were never
heard of and our dwellings generally
more lacking in comfort than at present
The free uses of the flesh of warm
blooled animals is another prolific cause
Of nervous excitement, its highly stimu-
lating properties being greatly in adj
,ance of.its nourishing qualities.

siOneF the BeIigerents.
NORFOLK, VA, March 26.-The town
was thrown into a state of intense excite
ment this morning by personal difficulty
between Mayor William Lamb and Police
Commissioner Zachary. A meeting of the
Police Commissioners was called this
morning to consider the suspension on
Monday by the Mayor Of eleven policemen
on the alleged ground of having
illegally raided a cOIOred gambling den
and made large number of arrests. Yes
terday the Mayor and the two Commits
sioners composing the board had heated
conversation on the subject of the sus-
pension which was reported in the morn
ing papers, and in which the Mayor SAID
that the Commissioners had put thieves
and cutthrOats on the force, to which
Zachary replied that the Mayor had
shielded gambling dens as no Mayor
should do. This morning at the Mayors
office, in the presence of the Commission
ers, the Mayor said to Zachary that the
published statement which he had given
was liar and puppy. Zach
airy slapped him in the face and
they clinched. They were separated
and subsequently, were bound over to keep
the peace in $2,500 for twelve months.

The 'fCatholic Mirror Calls 1t COnfis-
cation Not Conversion.
BALTIMORE, March 26. The Catholic
Mirror will, tomorrow, publish a long
pastoral letter from Archbishop Gibbons
upon the confiscation of the American
College and Propaganda property at Rome.
In it he says that the proposed measure is
called conversion" but 1t is none the
less confiscation. SIT cannot be called an
intermetldling in the proper jurisdiction
of foreign government he says, ''If we
use our endeavOrs to prevent them from
appropriating our property. We had no
intention OF enriching the Italian exche-
quer when we asked you to contribute
your offerings. The title Of the building
known as the American College may have
been placed in the name of the Propaganda
for convenience and security, but, never
theless, the fact remains that it
was purchased and fitted up by eOntri-
buttons which you and your fellow Catho-
lies made, and it is in reality the property
Of Americans. We ought to make every
legitimate appeal to public sentiment,
and not to suffer our property and our
interests to be wrested from us without
a struggle. 1t can't be that our govern
ment, jealous of the rights of the least of
its citizens, could allow ours to be viO-
lated without protest, and we look for pro-
lection from it, and who knows but that
in the providence Of God the glory of saw
ing the Propaganda may rest the second
time on the banner of our country?
