We must have all Catholics in Office

hideous; and especially so when it
brings slavery to alcohol. l beg the
clergy to enlist in the grand cause, to
organize for it and demand legislation
against selling to minors. Those in the
saloon traffic should seek more worthy
calling. The church holds UP high

do, the church has done Its duty. Will
Catholics rise to this high ideal? The

LEMONS AND THE LAW.
THE EXTRACT USED AS A BEV-
ERAGE.
People OF Eldora, Iowa, Get Into q
Legal Snarl-Judge Weaver
Untangles 1t.

ELDoRA, To-, Aug. 1.-Eldora enjoys
the distinction or being the first town in
the country where lemon extract has
been extensively used as beverage.
When prohibition went into effect
number of old buns had trouble to oh.
tain their poison. Finally it was dis
covered that lemon extract, such as is
sold by grocers for flavoring purposes,
contained 80 per cent of alcohol and 10
per cent of Oil of lemon, and that by re-
ducing 1t with cider. pop or water, it
afforded means for intOxication, and for
injuring the lining Of the stomach. But
little attention was paid to the sale of
lemon extract for some time. Some
aggravated cases of extract intoxica-
tion occurring last spring inaugurated
a crusade upon all the grocerS in Ell
dora. and they were driven out of the
business, but are still allowed to sell
other f1avOring extracts which contain
alcohol.
The Winchester pharmacy, however,
continued to sell extract, claiming the
right under their pharmacy permit. An
injunction restraining the drug store
from selling was asked. and the case
came up before Judge Weaver yester-
day. The testimony of several physi-
clans was taken tending to show that
lemon extract is recognized as a medic
cine or remedy in certain cases, but is
not often used for such purposes by the
profession. Upon this showing the
judge refused to grant an injunction,
giving as his reasons for such holding
that it being admitted that the sales
were made upon requests in the form
prescribed by law, and for alleged
medical purposes, it cannot be assumed
in the absence of other evidence that
the defendant did not act IN good faith,
and within the authority of his permit
The judge also explained that this
ruling is not to be construed as holding
tnat the sale of lemon extract can be
lawfully made in any manner except as
an intoxicating liquor, as it was held
that the article is composed largely of
alcohol, and Is capable of being used,
and is used, as a beverage. 1t was his
opinion the sale comes within the pro-
hibltion of the statutes which outlaws
all intoxicating liquors. The legislature
doubtless did not think its mandate was
quite so sweeping or far-reaching as this
construction carries 1t, yet there seems
to be no way to avoid it. 1t is worthy
of notice In this connection that the
prohibitory law as it now stands has
dropped the word "culinary" from the
list of lawful purposes for which per-
NIT holder may sell intoxicating liquors.
Formerly the law provided for the law
full sale of liquors for medical, culinary,
mechanical and sacramental purposes.
but the words culinary and mechanical
have been eliminated by late amend
msnts.
If this ruling is sustained 1t will have
the effect of prohibiting the sale by
grocers aud others. except registered
pharmacists. for"scientitic and medicinal
purposes" of all flavoring extracts; also
the sale of many of the essences and
perfumes.

CLOSE TREATY PORTS,
China Threatens to Do Sov
Japan Offers Apologies
to England.
THE RUSSIAN BEAB
Vigilantly Guarding His
Rights in the East--Spain
Is Uneasy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA brief cable
gram announcing the arrival of the Unit
ed States steamship Monocacy at Nagas-
aki, ki,Japan.recelvedby by Secretary Herbert
today, is the only official news from tine
seat of war that has come to the govern
ment here from its representatives in
China and Japan, and the surmtse that
Official dispatches are being obstructed
purpoSely now amounts to conviction.
The Monocacy was at CheZulDo with
the Baltimore, and it is supposed that
she ran over to Nagasaki for coal and
supplies. 1t is thought here that the
action of Japan in officially notifying the
British government of the existence ofa
state of war between Japan and China
W Is precpitated by the Kow Shuug acci-
dent. Had such notice preceded the
sinking of the ship, Japan would not
have incurred liability to Great Britain
an been obliged to apologize. In eff
feet, that notice Is equivalent to dec.
laratiOn Of war. or at least it imposes
the same obligation OIL neutral nations.
Tne United States. for instance, can
sell to either China or Japan arms or
munitions of war and supplies, but they
must be delivered at the risk of the pur-
chaser, and any vessel carrying them is
liable TO seizure. So by this stroke
Japan has seriously embarrassed China
in her efforts to supply herself with
warllke equipments in other countries.
The conditions are very similar to
those of the TonQuin campaign In 1881.
3. when, in the name of ''reprisals
actual war was waged on China by
France. Although there was no formal
declaration of war when France decreed
Zee to be contraband, the United States
and all other nations acquiesced, and
the only protest Came from the British
minister to China. who was reprimand-
ed for it by his own government. Just
what the effect will be, ON the Chinese
treaty ports cannot be. foretola row..
Japrn has taken the ground that
they are practically foreign set.
Elements, and therefore has diselaimed
any intention 10 interfere with
them, regarding them as outside the
scene of hostile operations. China, how.
ever. has persistently claimed the right
under the treaties opening the ports to
close them in time of war. The treaties
themselves present points of variance,
and the whole matter. though very i'm
portant 20 commercial interests, is
shrouded in doubt. There are no prec-
edents quite, fitting the present case.
and it will probable call for the making
of some international law on the subject
unless the war ends speedily. 1t is be-
lieved here that China will now proceed
Immediately to close the more important
treaty ports, beginning with Shanghd
perhaps by obstructing the entrance.

state vouchsafed to the delegates to the
convention. Mr.. Edgerton said that, as
a native of Minnesota. he could with all
propriety call attention to the develop
ment Of the state to which the delegates
had come. 1t had come within the span
of his life, and himself a young man,
that from not a mile of railroad in
the territory there had been laid
more than 6,000 miles, causing the
investment of more than a billion of
capital, giving employment to many
thousand laborers. From population
for the state less than that of the city of
st. Paul today it has grown to exceed a
million and half of souls; so that with
the increase in wealth and population,
keeping pace in future years with those
of the past. the delegates to this con-
vention might anticipate being called to
come aggin to witness the realization of
the prophecy of William FL. Seward,
spoken from the steps of the capitol
that being within the center of the pop
ulation of vast country, the city of st.
Paul would become the capital OF the
UNISON of states. lllustrious also was
the state in the names of It's pioneers,
statesmen, leaders and clergy, living
and dead, among the latter,
Window. Swift and Sibley; among
the former, Ramsey, Pillsbury
Marshall. Hubbard, Merriam and others.
with not the least among the illustrious
sons of the North Star state, such men
as Whipple and Ireland, whose names
had become household words upon two
continents; names to be cherished and
venerated; men who in their labors for
humanity had builded better than they
knew. In the course of his professional
work, the speaker said, he had come to
know that liquor was the cause of very
much if not most crime; by it home cir
cles were broken, the hope of families
destroyed. The aim Of the organization
wassone of noble origin. 1t sought to
make men better citizens, to make the
home more secure; to lessen the cost Of
government.and in this undertaking the
state as one man rejoiced, as 1t wished
it supreme success in behalf of human
ity. In the name of the state, there
fore, the state of noble leaders. of splen-
did history, more brilliant in its young
vigor than New England, the Empire
state or the Old Dominion, he babe the
delegates welcome to Minnesota, it's
hospitality, to take note of Its zeal for
good works, and to mark, as opportunity
afforded, its development.
ST. PAUL's WELCOME.
Hon. M. j. Costello, In behalf of
Mayor Smith, spoke st. Paul's welcome
to the delegates. He said:
sowing to the inability of the chief
executive of the city to attend here in

behalf, and, as his representative,
speaking for the entire public of st.

belief, bid you welcome to our city.

LAST DAY OF INSURANCE.

LAST DAY OF INSURANCE.
The loss of Z. K. Martin & Co., is es-
timated by Mr.. Martin to be $3.50. 200. He
said at midnight:
II had in my yards 35.OOO,OO0 feet of
lumber, easily worth SS00,000. A Pc
culiar phase of the thing is that at mid
night tonight all my insurance amount
Ing to over 100000 would have
lapsed. l had made arrangements to
have it renewed tomorrow, but between
midnight tonight and noon tomorrow l
would have had no insurance. The fire
caught ME just five hours before my in.
Surance was out, and inside of an hour
all had was gone"
Mr.. Martin declared that before the
tre his lumber yard was the largest in
the world, "but il don't matter" he
continued, "Pll have another Just as
large within short time"
The loss of Srmens & Halske
was estimated by one of the foremen to
be S900,000; but this is generally be-
lieved to be great exaggeration. The
principal loss was on machinery, as the
building of the concern was not worth
much. The loss of the Chicago Stove
works is chiefly in patterns. all of which
were made of white metal and very val
liable. Their plant proper was not eX-
tensively damaged.
Late in the night, when Fire Marshal
Sweeny began to take an account of
stock, he found that he was short sew
eral thousand feet of piping and two
fire engines. which the firemen were
forced 10 abandon to the flames. Both
of them were partly rescued, but the
heat was so great and the rush Of the
fire so swift that it was necessary to
abandon them.
When 1t seemed that the flames would
even cross Paulina street and reach the
West side water works on Ashland
avenue, the currents of air shifted
ana turned the fire back upon itself.
This gave the fire department the
opportunity it needed, and the
flames were practically checked
at Paulina street. The fire broke
above this street near the river and
destroyed the mill of the Conway CON-
pany, but found poor food in the blocks
and cedar posts piled up over acres of
ground north of the mill. At midnight
1t seemed likely that the fire would get
no further east, aud at O'clock it was
slowly decreasing. but 1t will not be
burned out before tomorrow night.
