very high and had to catch horse to

not been an expert swimmer she would

down the river to Joe. Taylor's place,

A cablegram from Rome says: In an
encyciicai letter Of the Pope to be pub
llshed next week, Leo XIII. lays especial
stress upon Free Masony, and the means
to be employed to defend the "City OF
God" against the "City OF Satan" The
following is resume OF the letter: The
plan of secret societies is no longer n
mystery. 1t is a struggle against the
church, and the various Popes have very
properly communicated Free Masons.
Since 100 years secfet societies have in
creased irightfully. A grave peril thus
threatens society. The Socialist has
n source Of strength in Masonry. The pa
pacy is placed in an intoIerable situation.
The Pope thus prescribes to Bishops
their duties: First, by pastoral laws,
Unmask secret societies and make the
people abhor them; second, extend
Christian education; third, urge agricul-
turIsts and workmen to organize Catholic
associations and conferences OF st. Vim
cent dc Paul; fourth, watch schools and
eNhort the youth never TO become men,
bers OF any society without first consult
ing their priests. The Pope ends his
encyclical letter by imploring the aid Of
the blessed Virgin.
