A Beautiful Response.

During the convention of the Worlds
and National Temperance Union held in
Boston, a meeting of great power and en-
thusiasm, when it was announced that
Miss Frances Willard was reelected pres
ident of the National society, and also of
the Worlds Christian Temperance Union,
telegram announcing the fact was sent
to Miss Wizards aged mother at Evans
ton, ILL.,. At subsequent session the fol-
lowing beautiful response was received by
telegram: Your message gratefully re-
ceived. As one who stands upon the
shore, and sees the lifeboat speed to save.
and all too weak to take an oar, send a
cheer across the wave :"

PARIS, Dec. 26.---News from Rome Ii
Of the most startling character, and
may lead to an open rupture with the
vatican. The Diritto, of that city, says
1t is the intention of the Pope to confer
the Grand Order of the Cross of Christ
upon the Archbishop of AK as token
of the sympathy of his holiness with
the Archbishop in the latter's recent
trial, conviction and fine for writing a
letter classed as insulting to M.
Failiers, the French minister of Public
Worship.
1t is almost needless to add that in
the present state of public feeling,
when movement is on foot to separ-
ate church and state as one of the re-
suits of the archbishop of Axis con-
duct, supported by letters of other dis
tinguished prelates, such a step upon
the part of the vatican is most signiA-
cant. It will be looked upon here,
should the news prove correct, as de-
fance on the part of the Pope of tho
reply of the French government may
not be slow in forthcoming.
The Archbishop of Bordeaux has
made common cause with Mgr. Gouthe-
Soulard, in a diocesan letter which he
addresses to all Catholics in France.
The main points of this letter are that
the Archbishop of Bordeaux defends
the right of members Of the episcopate
to join in pilgri1nages to Rome. Ac-
cording to this prelate, when the Arch
bishop of AK wrote as he did he was
not prompted by a wish to fight, but
was simply overcome with disgust. The
Pope, says the Archbishop, has no
longer hope in earthly defenders out
side the ranks of the devout French
Catholics.
1t was made evident by the letter OF
the Archbishop of Bordeaux that tho
ultramontane bishops were acting upon
suggestions received from the vatican,
and that they were encouraged in set
ting the government at defiance. If
there was ever any doubt of this it is
furnished by the announcement made
by the Diritti to-day. The senate, con-
trary to precedents, has recently shown
itself to be strongly anti-clerical, as IL
has just supported the government by
21l to "a votes in q resolution accus-
ing the clergy of jeopardlzing the social
peace and of vic aling the rights of the
state

Sheriff Gavin commanded silence, fear,
ing that should any word be said the men
might become angry and kill the prism
ers. A correspondent describes the road
to Butler as very rough ana billy and bof
dered on either side by thick underground
from Whlca it would be easy Tor land CT
determined men to surprise and overpower
the posse. As showing the temper OF the
people of Choctaw it is said that
John Savage, who was arrested the day
before Christmas on charge of being a
member OF Sims gang, was hanged to a
tree at 10 clock the same night. While
the posse was en- route to Butler a mob Of
Choctaw county men overpowered the
guard and hanged the three men, Boo
Sims, Tom Savage and young Savage.
This is IN addition to John Savage, VINO
was hanged Christmas eve.

The Notorious Outlaw Finally Gives
Himself and His Gang Over to the Law.

MOBILE. Ala, Dec. ga telegram
received this morning gives the news
of the surrender Of Bob Sims Christ
mas afternoon to the sheriff's posse,
the sheriff having obtained cannon
and trained it upon Sims house.
The outlaw sought to ''parley" with
the sheriff, offering to surrender if
the sheriff would guarantee him
protection from the members of the
posse. There was long debate on
this point, but finally it was agreed
that the Simsites should be
carefully guarded to the coun-
ty Jail. At 4:3O the Simites
laid down their arms, and Bob Sims,
Thomas Savage and young Savage,
Bob SIMS wife and three daugh-
tiers came out of the house, when the
men were put in arms and the women
under guard, and all of them started to
Butler, the county seat.
There is an impression that some out
siders who have made no promises to
keep their hands off the outlaws will
overpower the posse en- route and lynch
the prisoners. The road is hilly and
the underbrush thick, so that if a few
armed men should decide to have the
Simses they can do it.
