relatives. He gets up at 8 o'clock in the
morning, takes a bath and uses soap with.

he eats two ioaves of bread, with frank

all'of which he moistens with a glass OF
lager beer. At p. IN. he takes bowl OF

MISNEAPoLIs, Dec. 2S. The Journal
prints an interview with high tignitary
of the Catholic church who Is close to
Archbishop ireland, Indicating that the
papal utterances as to the secret societies
is by no means mandatory. Hepoints out
that In the cardinals letter the words are
psed, this decree is, therefore, commended
to the archbishops and bishops of the
United States, and may be by these ordi-
naries carried into effect" A similar
phrase Is used in Satolli's letter. He points
out that 1t is the archbishops who really
rule the church in America, and that un-
less they choose to promulgate the decree
it will be practically dead letter.

In the most open part Of the Delaware
river. When off Thompson point sue
cession of heavy seas battered the sides OF
the tug, and shortly afterwards the water
reached tho boilers and quenched the fires,
and the vessel began to founder. The men
strapped life preservers around their bod
les and at the last moment leaped into the
Icy waters. They eventually clambered
on to the top Of the pilot house. which was
all that remained above water. There
they were compelled to remain through
out the fiercest part of the storm, until
nearly dawn. when they were picked up
by the tug Confidence. The men are in a
serious condition, but hope is entertained
for their recovery. The Durham is total
