An Anti-C.tholie Decision.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. PA Winnipeg
special says Judge Killam has delivered a
decision against the appeal of the Roman
Catholics against the act passed by the last
legislature abolishing separate schools. The
case will be appealed to England.
One of the contentious of the
Catholics attorney was that they should
be free from the necessity of supper
ting schools other than parochical
institutions. The judge holds the law
does not abridge their right to have separ-
ate schools but as the peblic schools are
non-Sectarian there is no resson why the
legislature cannot compel every body to
subscribe to their supports.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
BERLIN, Nov. 24.-[By cable to the New
York SunI-An anonymous communication
has caused in Berlin alone during the past
week at least two deaths and as many
cases of insanity. The victims in every
case have been women or rather young
girls on the eve of marriage and the process
adopted was Identical in each case. Either
during the wedding festivities in church or
in the bridal chamber the bride or the in
tended bride, was the recipient of an
anonymous letter from some female &C
quaintance, or it may have been from
total stranger, charging the bridegroom
with being gay deceiVer, the deserter of
sweetheart which he had betrayed or
bigamist. The unsophisticated German
girl with her head full of romantic notions
and her heart devoted and unsullied, knew
no alternative but to succumb to the terri
bic suspicion aroused in her heart. TwOof
the victims, who were promising girls, had
held their heads high in society, and who
seemed to be destined for domestic bliss,
died suddenly from the shock, while two
Others lost their reason and are now under
treatment. In any other country than
Prussia such incidents as these would give
rise to suspicion that band of miscreants
had combined to execute some internal
scheme of blackmail. Not so in this
country, where anonymous letter writing
is national disgrace. Every year a num-
Der of persons in every grade of society
are convicted of this cowardly offense and
sentenced to undergo heavy terms of i'm
prisonment. But this seems to make little
or no impression. Only recently the wife
of judge in Westphalia was sentenced to
undergo three years. confinement in the
penitentiary for corrupting the minds of a
number of her townsfolks, some of them
her own relatives, by lying statements con-
veyed in anonymous letters.
