Bill WILL ASS
CarIisIe's Currency Measure
to Have Clear Sailing In
the House. VI
LITTLE OPPOSITION {. FEARED Fl AZ / .
Result In the Senate, How
ever, Said to Be Much
in Doubt.

WAsHIxGToN, Dec 7.-Secretary Car
Isle is to be invited before the house
committee on banking and currency
next Monday to present his views con-
corning the financial plan briefly sum
married. in his annual report and in
dorsed in the presidents message. The
secretary was at the Capitol during the
day and saw Speaker Crisp and q num-
her of the leaders. It is said, however.
he is not as yet seeking to urge his
plan "A meeting of the banking and
currency committee has been called at
once to begin consideration Of the Car
Isle plan. It is expected that after the
hearing Of the secretary Monday 9 bill
WILDE drawn in accordance with his
views. It is thought probable that Mr..
Carlisle will himself draw the bill on
the lines of his report. Many OF the
house leaders declare that the financial
measure is
Likely to Pass the House,
notwithstanding the briefness Of the
session. Mr.. Springer, chairman of
the committee, takes this view. He
says the subject has been thoroughly
discussed l.: committee, SO that there
will be no delay there. He hardly
hopes that the measure will pass the
senate and become law, but he sees
no reason why the house cannot act.
Representative Cox of Tennessee,
who led the state bank forces at the
last session, is also hopeful Of action:
Representative Warner of New York,
who has taken leading part in the
state bank discussion, thinks it will be
possible to get a bill through the house
this session, but not through the senate.

Rule
Speech Favoring Its Adoption
in the Senate Made by
Senator Vest.
QUESTION NOT DISPOSED OF.
Special Order for Considera-
ton of the Pooling Bill
in the House.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6The senate
show ed its first signs of animation dur
ing the day and, although the session
lasted only until 2:45, there was time
enough for several brisk debates. Mr..
Vests efforts to secure change in the
rules in order to expedite senate bust
ness was the chief event Of the day.
The usual dullness of discussion Of
rules was Offset by the prevalent feel
ing that a cloture rule would have
much to do at this particular time
with pending tariff bills affecting
coal, iron and sugar. Mr.. Vest was
formerly opposed to cloture but he an
nounced his conversion and said clos
ture was imperative to maintain the
dignity and self respect of the senate
and the esteem Of the public. Mr..
Chambers sarcasm at Mr.. Vests con-
version enlivened the debate. The
question went over for a day, when
Mr.. Vest will try to secure vote in
structing the rules committee to report
a cloture rule by the 18th inst.
Another feature of the day was the
sharp debate on the China-Japan ques-
tions, brought out by Mr.. Lodges reso-
luton calling for information as to the
torturing Of two Japanese students
who were under American protection.
Mr.. PETER made the first formal speech
of the session, criticising from Popu-
listic point the recent issues of bonds
and giving his views on finance.

THE BAN Lifted
Archbishop Ireland Assumes
Liberal Position Towards
Secret Societies.
AT LEAST IT is so REPORTED.
Prominent Sanity City Catho-
lies Affiliating With Vari-
Gus Orders.

ST. PAUL, Dec. Sit will not be
long before secret society charms will
be seen upon the watch chains Of men
who would generally be looked upon as
opposed BY force. Of ecclesiastical cir
oumstance to secret orders outside Of
those having strictly Catholic basis.
The other night Judge Kelly Of the
district bench took his first degree in
local lodge Of Knights Of Pythias.
and is quoted as saying that thus far
he has met with nothing ritualistio
which might be deemed inconsistent
with his religious belief and training.
City Clerk Prendergast is also under
way, and, in fact, q large number Of
Catholics are getting into line. There
is really a boom in that direction, sug-
costing some recent action.
Ireland Has Lifted the Ban.
The situation is exciting considerable
gossip among secret society men, and
reporter interviewed several about it.
One of them, a member Of the Catholic
church, said:
Archbishop Ireland has decided that
Catholic may join any secret order
except the Masonic. SO that Catholics
are at liberty to do as they please in
that regard. No public announcement
of the fact has been made, but there
is the best of authority for the state
ment, and it is generally understood
among Catholics. Mgr. Ravoux gives
it as a fact.
There can be no doubt of it. as those
who are now joining the secret orders
are earnest Catholics Of dignity and
standing, who would not under any
circumstances apply for admission
were the old ban Of the church in
effect. 4.
Noted a. Liberal Cleric.
It is well known that Archbishop Ire
land is very liberal cleric In fact, it
is his very liberal spirit that has ex-.
cited the enmity and opposition Of the
more hidebound and narrow minded
ones. It is an open secret, too, that
Archbishop Ireland has not hesitated to
take the matter to Rome. The ban Of
the church has tended to bar Catholics
from the fellowship found in secret So
cieties, and for no cause whatever, as
there are innumerable social and benev-
olent orders in the United States, where
secret orders are immensely popular
and have greater vogue than in the
old country, which could not be justly
deemed in conflict with the policy Of
the holy see.
In the Hands or the Pope.
However, the secret society question
has come to point where it has been
submitted to the pope, and his decision
is expected to reach America before
long.
Archbishop Ireland, when questioned
upon the present status before the
Catholic church of certain so-called
secret societies, such as the Sons Of
Temperance, Odd Fellows and Knights
Of Pythias, said that the question of
whether Catholics could belong to them
or not is now under consideration by
the authorities at Rome, and that de-
cision may soon be given, but that
meanwhile Catholics would do well not
to seek membership in those societies.

Special Order For the Consideration Of tho
Pooling Bill Adopted.
WASHINGTON. Dec. g. The house has
adopted special order setting aside
each day after the morning hour for
the consideration of the railroad pool
ing bill, the order to be continued until
the bill should be disposed Of, but not
to interfere with conference reports
and appropriation bills. The railroad
and shipping interests are greatly in.
terested in this measure, and the mem.
bers gave close attention to the open
ing speech made by MIR. Patterson in
its behalf. Before the discussion of
this bill began the house passed three
bills, the printing bill, a bill to prevent
the free use of timber on public lands
and prevent granting Of permits in the
future, and another to authorize the
secretary of the interior to receive un-
satisfied military bounty land war
rants under the act of 1853 at the rate
Of $l.25 per acre in payment OF land

With a Satchel Contain

Fort WORTH, Tex, Dec. THE
eastbound Texas passenger train was
held up at trestle seven miles west Of
here. The train was stopped just q
the engine and express car had crossed.
the passenger coaches coming to 80,
standstill on the trestle, where the pas
sengers had no opportunity OF getting
out if they were SO inclined, which
they were not, but only busted them
selves in concealing their valuables.
Several shots were fired from the front
end of the train and the passengers
were warned to keep their heads in the
windows. The train was detained 10
or Is minutes, during which time those
who caught a glimpse of the proceed
ings on the other side of the trestle

with guns levelled. marching the en-
eineer and trainmen in and out of the
baggage car When they finished their
work the robbers made the engineer
back the train over the trestle, and
while it was crossing they disappeared
in a thick forest. The passengers
kept so close while the train was being
robbed that they did not know much
about what was going on and the rail-.
road men and express officials will not
make any statements. 1t is not known
how much booty was secured. The
robbers had possession of the express
car until they accomplished their OBJ
ject. One fat package is known TO-
have been obtained. A train was held
up and robbed at this spot several years
ago by gang under the leadership Of
the notorious Joe Bunt S9
Secured Over 500, 600.
In one respect the robbery was re-
markable and sets precedent. The
iron safe of the messenger was thrown
from the car and carried off. The rob-
berry is one Of the most daring on rec-S
ord. It is learned from authoritative
sources that upwards of 500, 1000 was
secured. The train stopped at the
water tank, and one man boarded il
and covered the engineer and fireman
while the other two looted the express
car. Division Superintendent j. b.
Paul was on the train. It arrived here
only 10 minutes late. s;l
Later developments show that the
robbers booty included $31, 900 in gold
certificates going from San francisco
to Washington to pay for bonds.

Many and many time when we

of changing the bed linen arises, and
unless one knows how to do this with
out removing the patient from the bed
serious consequences are apt to follow.
Suppose that the patient is quite help.
less, the one in attendance takes the
sheet or blanket which is to be placed
under her and spreads it out plainly
until it reaches the place where the
patient rests. The excess amount is
gathered into long, thick folds as com.
pactly rs possible, and then the pa
tient is gently moved on to the plair
space and the folds are spread out on
the other side to correspond with the
section already laid out. If the indi-
vidual is able to move only the least
bit this operation is comparatively
easy one, and even when she is entirely
helpless the change can be made much

turc OF q Simple Crnsher.
An important item in the making of
macadam road is the obtaining of
broken stone of suitable quality and
size. 1t should have careful considera-
ton, since it relates to the wearing
surface of the roadway, and upon the
quality of the stone used will largely
depend the life OF the macadam crust
ard its smootnness. a hard stone
should tie used; not hard in the sense
that it is brittle, for many brittle
stones are quite unfit for use us road
metal, but rather stone Of a tough
texture. such as will resist the abrasion
Of wheel tires and the crushing force Of
heavy loads.
Trap rock is generally regarded as
excellent. As commonly found it
breaks in the crusher with q loud,
swapping noise which suggests great
resistance. and il properly handled it
is easily broken by machinery to a
fairly uniform size.
Limestones IRE both good and bad.
The softer limestones wear rapidly,
form road on which mud quickly col

BY hand at different points along the
roadside where repairs are needed from
time to time, and by criminals confined
in penal institutions who could not be
otherwise profitably employed; but tho
extra cost Of production by this method
forbids its being carried on where ex-
tended work is undertaken. Hand
broken stone is generally more uniform
in size, more nearly cubical in shape
and has sharper angles than that
broken by machine and Is undoubtedly
superior to the machine made road
metal; but the latter. when properly
assorted or screened. has been found to
meet every requirement In breaking
by hand two steel-faced hammers Of
different weights are used. One.
weighing from five to six pounds, is
used for siedging the powders and
large pieces into smaller sizes, and the
other, a small steel-faced hammer
weighing about one pound and having
a strong flexible handle, is used for
breaking the stones into proper size for
use on the road. In breaking by hand
skilled laborer will break from one
half cubic yard to three or four cubic
yards per day, according to the skill Of
the workman and the toughness Of the
stone OF the toughest stone one-half
. cubic yard will sometimes supply =
full days work; but ordinarily stones
will be broken at the rate of one to one
and one-half cubic yards per day.
Limestones break somewhat more
readily. and may be turned out ut the
rate Of two cubic yards per day. while
field stone and river stone, when found
in convenient sizes, can be broken by
hand at the rate Of two and one-half to
four cubic yards per day.-Good Roads.
