Some Interesting Information Given
in a Recent Decree Issued by
the Pope.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 6.-The Her.
aid says this morning: Pope Leo XIII has
just issued decree defining in precise
terms the toleration which may be ex-
tended to Catholic members of the orders
of Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and
Sons of Temperance, already condemned
by the Pontiff.
The decree is the most important circu-
lar which has emanated from the Holy
See for several years, affecting as it does
the interests of all the Catholic members
OF the orders mentioned, who are said to
number $50, 900. 1t is conveyed in letter
addressed to the various Bishops by Cardi.
nal Satolli. The letter states that as q
general rule it cannot DE permitted to
allow ones name to be retained on the
membership list and to pay dues. II may
be tolerated however, providing the
following four conditions are verified in
each case:
"First-If the member joined any ol
these societies in good faith and before
their condemnation was made known to
him.
"Second-Provided no scandal will oc.
cur and all danger of such shall be re-
moved by timely declaration to the effect
that the member pay his dues so that he
may not be deprived of the benefits &C.
cruing therefrom. The member must
however, in the meantime abstain from
all association or commingling with these
sects.
"Third-The -enunciation must entail
upon himself or his family notable anG
serious loss.
'Fourth-There must not be any dan
ger of loss of faith, either for the mar
himself or for his family, especially with
regard to the circumstances of sickness OF
death. and every possibility of funera
rites foreign to the Catholic ritual must b
removed"
''These conditions" the letter says
"when they were made known to hi
Holiness were fully approved and con
firmed. Since, however, the question is {
most grave one and replete with Difficult
ties and dangers, and one which affect.
not only many dioceses but also ecclesi-
astical provinces, the Holy Father, to the
end that a uniform rule should be
observed, orders that in particular case:

Apostolic delegation shall have jurisdic

Over 100 Prostrations from the Heat and
 the Death List Numbers Over a Score.
 ST. LorIs, Aug. 10.-Not before ln the history of St. Louis has its inhabit. ants suffered so much from the heat as during the week just ended. The highest point reached by the ther' mometer was 100 in the shade, and on no day was the maximum below 90. On the streets the heat was more in' tense and the record higher. City Phy' sician Sutter declared last night that the record of heat prostrations and deaths at the hospital for the past week is unprecedented in it's history. He re- ports that no cases, all serious, were cared for, and that 19 of these died, while more are still in critical condi- ton. This is not the complete record for the city, for at least that many more cases were taken to the dispen- saries, where many died and others were sent from there to various hospi' tals or their homes for treatment. Yesterday the highest point reached by the thermometer was 99 in the shade. Twenty victims of the heat were brought to the city hospital be. tween five p. m. and midnight, and but two of these died. Others will die.

Beeler, a gold standard advocate of that town, 1000 bushels of corn at F cents bush el and accepted payment in Mexican silver dollars. The transaction was proposed in a bantering way by Allen during silver discussion. He said he had confidence in silver money, and if anybody had any Mexican dollars he would take them at par in exchange for corn. He had no expectation that anybody would accept the proposition, but there happened to be man in town who had 960 Mexican dollars stored away. Beeler knew it, and made bargain for 1.O of them at 55 cents on the dol. lar, or S93. 50 for the lot. Thus armed he went back to Allen and rendered the TO Mexican dollars, and Allen. being a man of his word, sold the corn and took the dollars. He says he will keep the silver until the country gets to free silver basis, when he is sure it will be worth 100 cents

THE CRIME OF LEzs MAJESTY

Was Once Punishable with Torturc .,,s
 Death.
 The frequent appeals of the German emperor to the law of leze majesty which commonly appears in the foreign dispatches as 'leze majestatis," and in full should be ''crimen laesae mai. estatis." have brought prominently to the attention of the modern reading public this once dreaded legal means which an absolute monarch was form. erly able to use in order to accomplish almost any wrong that occurred to him as desirable.
 Of all severe laws in an age when all laws were severe this was the most feared, for it was capable of so manv different applications and explanat tiops that it could be made to fit almost anv case that arose and was used as form. idable means of oppression when the monarch desired to gain the propertv or take the life of a subject who had grown too rich or become toe powerful to suit the ideas of royalty. Trans. lated, the words mean simply ''iniured hoJSS0ys ouc "hCu were HOSO- lute majesty was so easily injured and there were so many ways by which the injury could be effected that no one could be sure that in an entirely innocent action he might not violate the majesty of the king and thus incur the severest punishment known to the law.
 Arson, robbery, murder assassina. tion were trifes in the eyes of a soy. ereign who regarded his majesty as his most sacred possession, and while these were punished by death, simple hang ing, beheading or other form of speedy execution was altogether too good for the man guilty.of violation of majesty, and the ingenuity of executioners was taxed to provide lengthy and exquisite. ly painful tortures for the criminal who was adjudged guilty of this ofrense.
