as exceptional, possibly accounted for by TEN
porary circumstances, or, that the Government
might secure itself against supposed adverse
ries, among which, unfortunately, the Catholic
church in Guatemala in those times was
believed to be, because otherwise it
would be impossible to understand how such
DEGREES and laws accord with the separation of
the church from the state, honestly and ration
ally considered. And therefore with a consti-
tuition so established as to be immutable itself
in the republic of Guatemala, it will not be
difficult to become convinced that the laws
and DEGREES referred to above should be at
least modified, or that in the matter OF these
laws and DEGREES there should be some AMIGA
BILE adjustment with the Holy See. The cOnsti-
tuition and the Government would thus receive
most desired seal and guarantee Tor the
future through the desired agreement between
the Government and the Holy See, an agree
ment that harmonizes excellently with the de-
clared separation between church and state
and that would bring peace to the souls OF the
population of Guatemala.

DOCKERY,S BIG SAYING.

The Joint Committees Report Shows
Government Economic Reductions.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-A review OF the
work done by the Dockery Joint Commits
sion of Congress, created for the purpose
of inquiring into and examining the status
of the law organizing the executive de-
partments, has been printed. The greater
number of the recommendations of the
commission so far have been put into prac-
teal operation and have been from time to
time made public. The review shows that
the entire cost of the commission aggre-
gated S41 ,264, while the actual annual re-
auctions in the Government expenditures
made as a result of its work amount to
$607, 591.
The reduction the review continues,
sis not for the time being only but will
continue through each of the coming years
The commission, however, feels that the
expedition of public business and added
security to the Government in its methods
OF accounting under the new systems in
augurated would have fully justified its
existence, even if there had been no dimi-
mutton in expenses"
y census of the departments held here at
the direction of the commission discloses
the fact that in the executive departments
and other Government establishments at
the national capital there are employed
1899. There are 1927 in the class subject
to competitive examination preliminary to
appointment, and 1865 of that number en-
tered the service after such examination,
and that of the whole number employed
500 have from one to nine relatives each
in the Government service at Washington.
The commission also reported concur
rent resolution which provided for the en-
grossment and enrolling of Congressional
acts by printing, which received the ap-
proval of both houses, and the commission
says its value, from the standpoint of both
accuracy and economy, is illustrated by
the fact that not a single error has &C.
Cured under the system up to this time.
Much space is given to recital of the
benefits which, the review asserts. have
been accomplished as result by the COM
mission and subsequently incorporated in
bill approved by the President July 81,
1894. The estimated annual saving result
ing from this reform is put at $239, 43O
Recommendations made by the commits
sion and not acted on relate, among others,
to the reorganization of the office of super
vising architect, contested land cases, re-
peal of the land contest act, transfer of
duties Of receivers Of land offices, public
surveys, abolition of the Office of solicitor
of internal revenue, bonds of Government
officials, checking of money orders, aboli-
ton of naval officers at all ports and the
establishment of a substitute therefor in
New York, and writing and recording Off
cial letters. These reforms, the commits
sion estimates. would effect the annual
saving of $40, 500.

THE MATRON THE CAUSE
Thirty-Four Juveniles Hold
Full Possession of the
Place.
THE POLICE CALLED UPON
The Ringleaders Battle and De-
moliSh the Furniture in the
Room.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Riot broke loose in
the Illinois State Home for Juvenile Fe-
male Offenders on Indiana avenue to-
night.
Thirty-four girls ranging in age from 10
to is years rose in rebellion against the
matron, Mrs. Dayton. Mrs. Dayton and
her assistants were powerless to con-
troll their charges, and were COM
PEELED to shut themselves in rooms
TO escape their almost frenzied assailants
The girls went through the house breaking
furniture and windows, and smashing
crockery and everything they could lay
their hands on.
The police were summoned and restored
order, but had no easy time, as the ring
leaders fought desperately. Four of the
most prominent of the girls were arrested.
The troubles arose over the punishment
given by Matron Dayton to Mamie Davis,
10 years of age. According TO the girls,
however, the uprising was due to great
dissatisfaction among the girls over their
treatment in general.
1t arose particularly because of system
of punishment which included imprison-
ment in a dark room 10 by u feet in size,
the cuIprit being secured to the floor by a
heavy chain and also system of dieting
in which the offender was not allowed
meat and was half starved.

PLEA FOR CONCESSIONS.
Desires Changes in the Laws
That initiate Against
the Church.
SEEKS DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
mercedes for the Pope In the Mat
ter Of Having a Minister at
the Vatican.

New YORK, March 10.-An interesting
and important communication from Mgr.
Satoli to the officials of Guatemala con-
corning that country's following the course
of Nicaragua in sending to Rome an envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary, has been made public. In the course
of the document reference is made to the
propriety, under the United States con-
stitution, of official relations between
Washington and Rome, and an interpreta-
ton given to that feature of the constitu-
ton relative to the separation of church
and state.
Mgr. Satolli's letter was written while
negotiations were pending about four
months ago. 1t refers at length to the
difficulties in church administration in
Guatemala, and suggests that certain
changes desired by the Government should
be accompanied by concessions to render
less burdensome the condition of the
church in Guatemala. The document
says:
In the first place allow me to reflect that to
re-establish diplomatic relations between the
Holy See and your Government concordat
would not be necessary but that they could be
re-established and mafntai without it. Be-
sides, it is well to reflect that the holy father
enjoys always, in fact and by international
right, the prerogatives of sovereignty.
In the second place, the separation between
the church and the state sanctioned by the
constitution) excluded the action of one power

lion, hero, god, or merely flowing lines
of artistic beauty falling away from the
upper tip of the stem, as in the fiddle
head" often seen on ships.
The majestic place of the figure on the
forefront of the vessels hull, as it is,
further clothes it in the attributes of the
heroic and endows it apparently with
something apart from the base material of
its construction. Always looking ahead
with gaze memorable over the inscrutable
mysteries of the sea one would feign ask
this voiceless, lifeless sphinx of the ocean
what il sees beyond the round rim of the
watery world, but no answer ever comes
from the immovable lips, and the noble
face forever is turned toward the point of
its seeming longings.
The figurehead arose to its commanding
position on the vessels PROV far back in
the dim dawn of marine architecture,
thirty centuries before Christ. The pre-
historic galley, feeling It's way across the
unknown seas, was guided and guarded by
the tutelar divinity of the early sailor, and
the gods head or figure adorned the head
or beak of the rude craft. The capture of
this sacred ornament was one of the OBJ
jects of the foe, and on the return of con-
quering feet the beaks of hostile craft
were carried as trophies in triumphal pro-
cessions.
On modern shipboard the figurehead is
still an object of significance and venera-
ton, for the old, old traditions are never so
strong in the human soul as they are in
that of the sailor. The deep and dreadful
mysticism of the sea wraps him around as
with a garment, and he lives always in the
Environments of the supernatural.
The tigurehead of the ship Spartan, now
in this port, is a noble form of the old
Grecian warrior that filled. the phalanxes
of Sparta with that valor which is still the
theme OF heroic song and story. Even in
the rudely carved face are the lines of the
ing squadrons of Athens barbarian foe
men from the seas.

INHABITANTS IN TERROR
The Alarm Is General in the
Cities of Cordoba, Orizaba
and Kalapa.
THE BEST LANDS AFFECTED.
An Epidemic of Earthquakes Exc
pected by the People, Who
Are Praying.

CORDOBA, State of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
March 10.-The peak of Orizaba, an ancient
volcano, is in a state of eruption. The
signs of disturbance began to manifest
themselves last Sunday night and have
increased in force constantly since that
time. 1t is now vomiting poisonous ashes,
and thick volumes of smoke are emitted
| from hundred apertures in its great nav.
The earth for 100 miles around is shaken
perceptibly with subterranean vibrations.
| A great alarm exists among the jewellers
in the cities of Cordoba, Orizaba, Kalapa,
and the dozens of small villages scattered
within the scope of the strange and inter-
esting phenomenon.
The shocks as yet have not been of 4
serious nature and no damage from them
has been reported.
| The rim of the crater CLOVIS like fire and
the thick ashes rolling down the mountain
sides have set afame the grass and vegeta-
ton clothing the sides of the summit,
which adds to the density of the smoke
and the grandeur of the spectacle
For the public safety the Governor of
the State of Vera Cruz will shortly name
commission of scientists to make all the
investigation into the eruption possible
and to make recommendations looking to
the protection of the inhabitants of the
neighboring villages.
The present eruption is in the heart of
the best improved land in Mexico. The
coffee plantations are not as yet thought to
be in danger, nor will they be unless fall
OF thick ashes occur, which is not consid-
cred probable.
| Masses are being said in all the churches
of the locality to ward off the impending
| danger. Coming soon after the late de-
structive volcanic activities in many parts
of the republic the eruption of Orizaba has
many terrors not only to the people in its
vicinity, but to all living in the great vol
canic belt of Mexico, stretching from the
active volcano of Colima on the west coast
ian unusual eruption), clear to the Gulf of
Mexico on the east. Within this belt are
numbered dozens of old craters, either in
repose or smoking constantly. 1t is natural
! to suppose that should the eruptions con-
tinue the other volcanoes will be affected
and a general earthquake period set in.
The consequence of such catastrophe are
hard to tell, but could hardly be anything
less than very disastrous to Puebla, Mexico
City and the hundreds of other towns in
the heart of Mexico.

DEBT OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
The FINANCIAL SALVATION LIES
IN UNION WITH THE
DOMINION.
ENGLAND Is WATCHING THE NEGo.
TIATIONs WITH MUCH
INTEREST.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Times, in an ar
ticle on Newfoundland says that the ne
gotiations looking to union with Canada
will be followed here with sympathetic
interest. Canada can assume the respon-
sibihty for Newfoundland's debt without
creating the awkward precedent that Great
Britain would create by similar action. To
enter the Dominion is step forward both
in power and in importance which New
foundland would have been well advised to
have known in the days of her greatest
prosperity. Now she is to be congratulated
if such way should be opened out of her
misfortunes.
The details of the French question can
be discussed when Canada's readiness to
federate shall be assured. In view of the
probability of the elections changing the
Government of Canada the Newfoundland
authorities would be unquestionably wise
not to lose time in ompleting the negotia-
tons.
No other permanent remedy for their
troubles is likely to be as good as federation.

Countess Forced to Steal.

The case of ruined noble family was
made public this week. Count Stozzi
hazarded the whole of his fortune in big
land building speculations in Rome few
weeks ago, and for two or three short
weeks was seemingly an assured winner of
millions. But a crash came while his
operations were still open, and he went
under, with scores of families as noble, as
ancient and as reckless.
The Counts young daughter was en-
gagged to be married at the time, but her
lover proved as tickle as fortune, and the
ruined family retired to Bologna.
The young Countess, in order to support
her parents, took a place as chamber
maid, and recently, under stress of pow
erty, stole some of her mistress iewelry,
and, being tried and convicted was merci.
fully sentenced to only twelve days i'm
prisonment, the Judge admitting as e1-
tenuating circumstances the sad change in
her family fortunes.

sWEDENBoRGIAN PHILOSOPHY.
Lecture by Rev. Higgins on That Subject
Last Night.

At the First New Jerusalem Church,
corner of O'Farreu and Webster streets,
Rev. F. L. Higgins delivered last evening
the fourth of a series of lectures on
"Swedenborg," and what he has done for
the world, presenting particularly the
philosophic aspect of his subject.
THE province of philosophy" said the
speaker, sis to expound the whence, what
and why OF creation, and to show the har-
monious relation of the chief essentials of
Its complex organization. We have had
the theistic, idealistic and materalistic
schools of philosophy, but Swedenborg
presents to the world a new and entirely
distinct school. He shows that theistic
philosophy is true in so much as it recog-
nizes causes back of creation, but false in
declaring that something came from moth
ing, and that materialism errs in regarding
nature and its laws as being the embodi-
ment and sole continent of the ultimate
first cause of creation. Swedenborgian
philosophy recognizes that divine love
alone had power of creating beings capable
of consciously receiving and reciprocating
that love, and hence the human race
began.p

Medium of the POstOGtce.
WASHINGTON, March 10 The United
States Consul at Luxembourg outlines the
scheme of an international labor exchange,
which has proven very beneficial in that
grand duchy in facilitating the employ
ment of labor. 1t was instituted in 1892
and every postoffice co-operates in the
transmission of offers made and applica-
tons for employment between wage-payers
and wage-earners.
Offers and applications are addressed to
the nearest Postmaster on special postal
cards and the applications are registered.
The lists are publicly posted in all post
offices, in railway stations, hotels and pub
lie houses. The postotfice assumes no re-
sponsibility in the business beyond the
transmission and posting of applications
and offers. The Postmasters inform an
applicant by postal card when an offer of
employment is received. A statement at
tached shows that during two years there
were received through this system 1904
applications for employment and 1701 of
these secured places. During the same
time 3514 employers applied for help and
engaged 1872 persons.

veyed by them in their Journey across the
plains to its present resting-place.

the original possessors of the bell found
out where it had gone. Upon the COM
pletion of the Pacific Railway some parties
from Iowa City, in their Journey, across
the continent, stopped off at Salt Lake
City. There they discovered an old bell
surrounding a private schoolhouse, and
upon its margin the familiar words, First
Presbyterian Church of Iowa City, 1876
Notice of the fact was promptly commune
Gated to the officers of the Iowa City
Church. Correspondence was opened with
the Mormon authorities, but SO high was
the value placed upon it as spoil taken

it was decided to let the old bell remain a
voiceless trophy in the far-off land of its
captivity. "-Providenc Journal.

The German Chamberlain Retnstated
after an Investigation.
BERLIN, March 10.-The Boersen Courier
states that the ministry tribunal had &C
quilted Count Won Kobe of the charges
against him in connection with the recent
court scandal.
Won Kobe was the Royal Chamberlain
at the time the unsavory scandal, in which
he was a principal figure, was causing
widespread comment. His arrest in June
last was the result of four years of police
injunction. During that period members
of the highest German aristocracy were in
the receipt of anonymous letters and postal
cards making the most indecent personal
accusations against the persons addressed
or against their friends. The accused s in
nocence was finally established and he
was set free and restored to his position at
court.
The real authorship of the letters, etc.,
is still mystery, though Won Kobe's wife
claims to have knowledge of the writer.

OBJECTED TO KISSING.
Actress Dismissed in Consequence, and
Europe Is Disturbed.


A strange tumult is raging on the Cont
nent. 1t has been agitating Vienna and
setting Berlin by the ears, and now it has
spread to England.
And it all arose from mere trife-the
kissing OF an actress on the stage. In the
course of play it became necessary for a
certain actor to repeatedly embrace GER
tain actress. The act ~ess had a husband.
The husband objected.
So the actress refused to be kissed, and
was, in consequence, dismissed from the
theater. Hence tears, recriminations and
tremendous controversies on kissing.
Those who have acted much will proba-
bly, agree in thinking that to object to
stage kiss is absurd. 1t means nothing
and therefore is nothing, for things are
greatly what we create them by the
thoughts which we connect with them.
To one person kiss is an epoch; to
the lover is an episode never to be forgot
ten by girl. Thousands of chapters have
been written upon it by lady novelists.
When Faust kisses Marguerite we feel that
the first word of great tragedy has been
written.
a refined girl thinks a kiss an intense
intimacy, intolerably insulting, unless
ing that prompts it.
But when we come to the lower classes
we find kissing sort of universal habit,
almost like eating, or getting up in the
morning.
The coster girl, beneath her waving os-
trich plumes, is kissed by all and sundry
in full publicity instead of being shaken by
the hand. She is not necessarily at all i'm
moral, though doubtless Mrs. Grundy
regards her with pious horror.
That kissing was INDUCED in freely in
former times by very respectable young
people we learn from many sources; for
instance, from the charming old song that
our Young girls are SO fond of singing,
Come, lasses and lads"
The fancy positively reels at the thought
OF the amount of OSCILLATION that must have
taken place. And yet which of us sitting
at concert and listening 10 the account OF
it all is shocked?
Old ladies nod their heads and think
pleasantly of their youth, when, by the
way, they never sat in arbors and did such
things. Decidedly there is something in
gratiating about the kiss
sBut the stage kiss? What of that? In
one opinion it is merely fulfillment of
stage direction, and the husband who OBJ
iects to it should at once remove his wife
from the stage. To treat it as anything i'm
portant is at once to make it objection
able.-Gentlewoman.
