SOCIAL REFORM.
The Vatican VIII Not Allow the
Subject to Drop.
The Catholic Missions to Be
ReorganiZed.

A Commission of Cardinals Appointed to
Do the Work--The Reform to Embrace
the Entire Apostolic Field-Ancient
Families Almost Ruined by the Recent
Economic Crisis.
ROME, Aug 1.-The holy see has ap-
pointed an extraordinary commission of
cardinals to reorganize the Catholic
missions. Two years ago Cardinal ST.
meoni prepared and communicated to
the pope plan of reforms in order to
better regulate the action of the propa-
ganda. But the coming of General
Simmons from England on a special
mission to Pope Leo in reference to col
onial questions had the effect of post
ponlng the execution of the projected
reforms as the propaganda wish to dis
credit the idea that the reforms were
made i'll consequence of an arrangement
with England. Any suspicion of such
an arrangement would have aroused the
greatest jealousy in France. Leo, who
has always been in favor of the missions
taking a leading part i'll the work of col
onlzation, had revived these projects of
reform The inquiry of the commission
of cardinals will, it is said, extend over
the whole of the apostolic works The
Vatican does net intend TO let the dues-
tion of social reform drop, now that the
pope's encyclical letter has been pub
lished. Ii is stated that inquiries are
still being made, and instructions sent
to the prelates of all countries to encour-
age Catholics to do their utmost towards
ameliorating the conditioRof the poor
and etfecting the social reforms urged
i'll the enCyciiCaf.
Herr SchltPsser, the Prussian minis
ter to the Vatican, will soon leave Rome
for his ordinary vacation. His recent
negotiations with the holy see have had
little success. The Vatican is greatly
dissatisfied with the hardness with
which Prussia is inclined to treat the
most urgent ecclesiastical affairs.
The recent economic crisis at Rome
has almost ruined many of the great
ancient families, such as the Borghese,
Sciarra and Barberani. The Borghese
family appears to have been the greatest
sufferers. Paul Borghese, its present
head, is said to have ordered the most
rigorous economy in the management of
his properties, in order to get over the
great losses recently sustained. He has
distributed the works of art which COM
posed the celebrated Borghese gallery
among his nine brothers, so as to enable
him to lease the apartments given up to
the art collection to a bank. One hears
expressions of regret on all sides at this
action. 1t is feared that the example
may find imitation on the part of the
other great families and that there may
thus be a general breaking up of the fine
private art gallery collections at Rome.

BIG BANK FORGERY.
swindled Out of 1885, 900 by a Dishonest
Clerk and a Stock Broker.

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-The sensation caused
by the fact that forgeries to large
amount on the Deutsche bank had been
discovered is gradually disappearing as
the facts i'll the case are made public. A
clerk named Franck in the employ of the
bank and q stock broker named Schwie-
ger are now being hunted for by the po-
lice. Warrants for their arrest were
issued at the request of the directors
of the Deutsche bank ON charges of
forgery.
The Deutsche bank will make good
the loss incurred through the criminal
ity of its clerk. Franck, it appears,
who was allowed to draw bills Of ex-
change, forged some bills and with
them purchased Russian roubles
through Schwieger. Owing to the skill
with which the forgeries were carried
on the bank officials did not detect
them until the hank was called upon to
meet its liabilities. The total loss in
Cured by the bank is estimated at
$3.50 600

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
Two CLOUDS MEL,
Causing a Deluge at Wnliamsport. Pa
Great Damage Done.


WlLLIAMsPoRT, Aug. IA violent
wind and rainstorm occurred here. Two
clouds met, and the result was one of
the heaviest falls of rain this city has
known. Portions of the town were
flooded two or three feet deep. The
storm did much damage, the greatest
being the blowing down of the Maynard
street bridge, new iron structure,
erected after the disastrous flood of 1899.
On the south side of the river, where
thirty-tive houses were wholly or partial
ly blown off their foundations, at least
one house collapsed before the inmates,
named Frederacy, were able to get out.
Mrs. Frederacy was rendered insensible
from the injuries sustained, and is still
in that condition. A boy, who was on
the river in a small boat, was carried
through the chute and narrowly escaped
drowning. Fortunately the storm was
confined to limited area.

Incendiary.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. Fifty
kegs of powder in the Alabama Great
Southern depot exploded about mid
night Thursday night, completely
wrecking the building and demolishing
a number of cars ON adjacent side-tracks.
A fire was noticed in the building be-
fore the powder exploded, but there
was scarcely time to give the alarm be-
fore the explosion followed.
The depot was almost entirely con-
sumed, with all its contents. The latter
are valued at about IS, 900, and the other
losses will foot up about the same
amount. Only one man was in the
building, and he was thrown out of bed
by the explosion. A few minutes before
the explosion the watchman had been
over the building and found it ali right.
The glass was shattered in all the win
dows around the neighborhood for four
or five blocks, and houses trembled for
a mile around. 1t is believed that two
men seen loafing around the building

DIVORCES IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
A Decision Which Is DiscOuraging to
Many.

SIOUX FALLS, Aug. 1.-Seekers for
the severance of the nuptial knot who
have come to this city for relief will be
minus realization of their desires.
Judge Aiken, who holds the sword that
sewers unloving hearts, has concluded to
interpret the law according to its spirit
instead of its letter, and it is very prob
able that many of the ninety-six appli-
cants for divorce now here will be dis
appointed. Friends of Judge Aiken say
he holds that the expression ''in good
faith will have to be substantiated by
something stronger than the affidavit of
the applicant. The intent of the law
(which document is fifteen years Old
was to provide release for Dakotans, but
its loose construction has opened up
great possibilities for outsiders which
do not now appear to be probabilities.

French Cities Decidedly In Favor of
sentation-Comments of n Lon
don journal on the Importance of the
Fair.
PARIS, Aug. IN. Favette, chief of
the ministry of commerce and industries,
granted the Chicago fair commissioners
most cordial interview of over two
hours duration Thursday. He asked
the commissioners numerous questions
in regard to the fair, and received salts
factory replies. He assured the COM
misioners that the position Of France to-
ward the worlds fair had never been
doubted, aRl that she was now more
ardent than ever, and her interests
would be well represented. He said he
had sounded the chambers of commerce
of various cities, and had found them de-
cidedly favorable to French representa-
ticn. France expects 70 make the finest
art exhibit at Chicago that she mas ever
have promised the most important ex-
amples of their works. They VIII need
about ~, 600 square feet of wall space,
and as French interest in that exhibit
would be so great they would like to Sc
cure separate building for the French
art display. In addition to the art space
France desires that 100000 feet be re-

necessities shall be determined. NJ
FaVett said he had already secured most
favorable terms from the steamship
companies, and that freights would be
paid only one way. Exhibits would thus
be returned free.
A False Report.
M. Favette questioned the commits
sioners IN regard to report that the
American railroads had combined to
charge excessive rates from New York
to Chicago. Mr.. Butterworth assured
M. Favette that the report was untrue,
and showed him telegram from the
president of the exhibition officially
stating that exhibits would be returned
free Of freight charges. Having salts
fled M. Fayette that effective protection
for patents and copyrights, fire risks on
exhibits, the effect of the American con-
tract labor law on attendants and cafe
and restaurant privileges, the deputa-
ton emphakcally denied that any desire
existed to favor German exhibitors at
the expense of the French exhibitors, or
any other nations. Space had not
yet been allotted. and France could
choose both the position and extent of
hers. In conclusion M. Favette ex-
pressed great pleasure at the interview
and appointed a meeting for Saturday
to discuss details.
The deputation then visited Mr.. Reid.
the American minister, who conducted
them to the foreign office. Minister
Ribot gave them most cordial recep-
tion. M. Ribot said that he was pleased
that France was the first nation to ac-
cept officially the invitation to take part
in the fair, and he was confident that
she would be splendidly represented.
The chambers, he added, would be
asked to vote an adequate appropriation
for Frances exhibit.
