the only difference being that now they

Prohibition has received its strongest
endorsement recently from the Catholic
church through a deliverance OF
Mgr. Satolli against liquor dealers.
The decree OF the papal delegate foro'ds
the reception into any Catholic society
or the church OF any person engaged as
principal or agent in the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors and also in-
structs the clergy to deny the rights and
privileges of the church to liquor dealers
who sell on Sunday. The Wine and
Shirt Gazette Of New York almost dares
the church to enforce the, decree by say
ing.
"Will it be enforced in the cities OF the
country?. Fully two,thirds OF the retail
LIQUOR dealers Of the country are Roman
Catholics. Some OF these are liberal con-
tributors TO the church funds. We ap-
preciate fully the delicate position in
which Archbishop Corrigan and the
other bishops Of the Catholic church in

the papal delegate. We voice the sentl-
ments OF large majority OF liquor deal
ers of this city and Brooklyn in saying
We Archbishop Corrigan to enforce j
| in letter and spirit the decree against the
liquor traffic just issued by Mgr. Satoili
| Let the arch bishop do it and watch tht
consequences.
The archbishop's letter is in his Owl
handwriting. In it he says:
"Iu reply to your expressed wish,
have the honor to say that ! Loyalty &C
cept the principles laid down by Mga
Satolli, both in their spirit and to th'
letter. More than this, no Catholic Cal
refuse to accept them.
AS to the fear Of consequences, i hav
Ityet, thank God, to learn what fear is ii
the discharge OF my duty. Please re
member, however, that acceptance O
principles is not to be confounded wit
the blind application OF the same on a
occasions and under all circumstances

at the Winchester House about $50 last
Friday morning, the bullet entering the

clothes over his head when he heard her
coming. She withdrew and went about
her work In a few minutes she smelled
smoke of burning clothing and began an
investigation. She soon discovered smoke
issuing from the ventiator of the room
which Mr.. Humphrey occupied. On
opening the door she saw the man still in
bed, but with the pillow smouldering. She
quickly put out the pillow and called for
help. An examination showed that he
was dead but still held a 32-cali0re revol-
yer in his left hand
Nj Humphrey came to Winchester on
the 80 train Thursday evening and took
room at the hotel He probably came

his life. MI Humphrey was a native of
Winchester, nu, had not lived there for
