ST. LOUIS. June 25.-It is stated on
good authority that on the day that
y. Il. Sellers, p, resident of the A. P.
A. national council, sent a COPY of
what he wanted embodied in the Re-
publican national platform. to Mr..
Foraker, chairman Of the committee
on resolutions, the following telegram
was received by Senator Thomas r..
carter, chairman of the Republican
national committee, from Archbishop
Ireland:
ST PAUL, MINI, June II, 1soG.-To
the Ion Thomas e. Carter, National
committeeman, st. Louis, Mo.:-The
clause in the proposed platform oppos-
ing the use Of public money for cec-
tartan purposes, and union of church
and state, is unnecessary and uncalled
Tor. 1t is urged by the A. p. A. It's
adoption will be taken as a concession
TO them, will awaken religious ami
mostly in the country, and do much
harm. The Republican party should
not owe itself to recognize, directly
or Indirectly, the A. P. A. I hope this
clause, or anything like it, will not
be adopted. JOHN IRELAND.
The telegram from the archbishop
At ST Paul was referred by Chairman
Carter to Edward Lauberbach OF New
York, one of the big four from that
State, and he, with National Com
mitteeman r. c. Kerens Of this city,
went before the committee and sue
ceeded in knocking out all reference
to the church.

John Clark is now sleeping in the
Sioux City Jail for a very sing ]ar mis-
conduct-that Of swearing at mis- wife
in his sleep. He says it is a habit
which he has been unable 10 break
himself of. The judge thought that a
few weeks in Jail might break it, and
that's why John is sleeping in a cell.
And besides, Mrs. Clark is getting a
much needed rest. John is said to be
doing the most Of his swearing in the
day time.

This being the strawberry short-cake
season, it may be we'll to explain that
the 500 dreams, more or less frightful,
that come to the consumer in a single
night, are not the result of the berries,
but of the preponderance Of the cake.
Strawberry short-cakes for restaurants
or hotels should contain twice or
thrice the amount of fruit they nov
hold. This reform, however, we shall
probably not see in our day.

The weather prophets insist that
there is a vast difference between a
cyclone and a tornado and that all of
EN- that we had this season are tor
nados. So everybody has been calling
them by the wrong name, but they
came just the same. AS we under
stand it, a cyclone is a small tornado,
while a tornado is a big cyclone. It's
easy enough to distinguish the differ
ence if you see it soon enough.

GRAFTON, W. VA, March 9--About
thirty-two years ago there lived I'm this
city Marion Hess and hts wife Sarah
At that time il was not very healthy for
a man to live here unless he would join
one or the other of the armies. and Mr.
Hess decided 10 fight for the Union. From
that time until a few days ago Sarah had
never heard OF her beloved husband. Dur

Later she filed an application for a pen

had succeeded i'm proving his services in
the army, and also his death. and was
expecting to receive her second pension
when Marion turned up. alive. well and
nearly as gay as when he left, a Youth
OF twenty.
He requested his long-lost love to re-
turn and live with him. but she con-
cluded that pension on husband No. .
was better than TO take chances with
husband No. |, and refused TO rejoin him.
He. however. was persistent in his de-
mands and threatened TO Kill her If she

SOCIETIES EARNED.
Pope Leo Defines Attitude of Church To-
ward Catholic Members of Secret Orders.

Pope Leo XIII. has just issued decree
defining in precise terms the liberation
which may be extended TO Catholic mem
bers Of the orders of Odd-Feiiows. knights
of Pythias and Sons Of Temperance, al
ready condemned by the Holy Office.
The decree IS the most important cir
cular which has emanated from the Holy
See for several years, affecting, az IL
does. the interests OF all the Catholic
members Of the orders mentioned, who
are said TO number 10000
The following is fairly literal trans
lation OF the Latin decree:
1T was asked, whether or not all assoc
citation whatever with the sects being
removed. would this at least be lawful
viz. To allow ones name TO be retained
on the list OF membership and TO pay his
respective dues AT the appointed time?
This most important question was sub
n.itted by His Holiness to this Supreme
congregation tor an answer. The con-
gregation, after mature elaboration,
Judged IL proper to answer as follows.
AS general rule 1t cannot be permitted.
II may be tolerated. however, provided the
following four conditions are verified in
each case:
First. n the member joined any OF
these societies in good faith and before
their condemnation was Indue KNOWN 10
him.
o." Second Provided no scandal will oc-
cur and all danger Of such be removed by
timely declaration to the effect. that
the member pays his dues so that he may
not be deprived Of the benefits accruins
therefrom. Inc member must however.
I'm the mean time abstain from all associa-
ton or commingling Of any character with
these sects.
" Third. The remuneration must entail
upon himself or his family a notable and
serious loss.
" Fourth. There must not be any dan
ger of loss Of faith, either for the man
himself or for his family, arising from
the sects. especially with regard TO the
circumstances OF sickness or death. and
every possibility of funeral rites foreign
TO the Catholic ritual must be removed
These conditions. when they We're made
known TO His Holiness, We're fully APP
proved and confirmed Since. however
the question is a most grave one and
reDlete with difficulties and dangers
and one which affects not only many do
Gees. but also ecclesiastical provinces. the
Holy Father, 10 the end that uniform
rule should be observed. orders that IN
particular cases Your EmInence and your
successors in the Apostolic delegation
shall nave jurisdiction. New York

Bodies OF Murdered Old Man and Z
Babc.

CHICAGO. March S.-Carefully conceal-
ell In a barrel snd covered with mass
OF old rags and cotton. the dead bodies
OF a gray-haired man and newborn
babe were found In an alley In Hyde
Park to-day. In consequence. the police
are working on what they consider a
double murder. Only one clew Is In their
possession, and on the discovery OF the
identity OF woman. as yet unknown to
the police, depends the possible solution
OF the mystery.
Early this forenoon. the ONCE III kai-
ston's Hyde Park morgue was rung up
on the telephone and a woman. who de-
clined to give either her name OF adj
dress, asked II the body OF man had
been found I'm Hyde Park. The Office at
tendant replied In the negative ana then
questioned the woman. but his best ef-
forts failed TO get any information OF
decided character. although she told the
clerk she was looking for a man who was
missing. She was finally prevailed upon
to give his description. which she did In
minute detail. She astonished the NOR
que attendant, by saying In conclusion.
that he would certainly learn more about
the case later on.
Four hours later the barrel with Its
CHASTITY contents was discovered In the
rear OF the house at 1923 Indiana avenue.
The body OF the man tailed In almost
every respect with the description Turn
ished by the mysterious woman over the
telephone wire. and the police unhesttat-
ingly connected her with the case. In
the barrel also was the body OF a boy
not over ten days old.
j. A. Nurse. residing I'm Prairie avenue.
while emptying a pan of ashes I'm the
alley at the rear OF his home. discovered
a barrel which aroused his curiosity.
Breaking open the head OF the receptacle,
he was Mortified upon seeing the hacked
body OF an old man inside. II was en-
tirely nude. and was frightfully mutt
lated Covering the corpse was a thick
layer OF cotton. The police were at once
notified, and the barrel was removed to
the morgue The head and trunk gave
every evidence of foul play, the skull
showing several deep wounds. ON the
left forearm were tatooed five spots close
together. There was nothing else TO give
any clue to the mans identity. After
the severed pieces OF the body had been
lifted from the barrel. the body OF the
baby was found. 1t was nude. save for
a thin hanncl shirt. and there were two
marks on the side OF the head. apparcnt-
~ made with a blunt instrument
The body OF the elder male was that OF
a man between sixty-iive and seventy
years Of age.
The police laugh AT the theory that N
was the work Of medical students. and
are positive I'm their statements that the
man and child were murdered.

Some of the Spanish Atrocities lie Has

While acting as war correspondent for
| ms paper al Quyicsn, province OF Ha-
vana, he imprudently INDUCED in a parody
| on God Save The Queen" II was pub-
| lshed under the title of God Save the
Sweet Potatoes" and was by the Spanish
officials pronounced "A libel upon Spanish
integrity and dignity. This, with the
charge OF giving utterance TO expressions
Of sympathy for prisoners who were
! butchered in his presence By Government
! troops. resulted in an order for his ar
rest. Mr.. Nillaverde, warned by wire
from Havana of MS danger set out on foot
from Quivican at night. Four miles from
the city he secured horse and rode TO
Bejucal. TSiere he took the stage 10
Havana and managed 10 secrete himself
In the house OF a friend. whre he remain
ed FOR ten days. Two Spanish witnesses
were eventually secured. who. for So
each, went before an alcalde and swore
10 his identity as another mil whom ne
happened TO resemble. This enabled him
TO procure the necessary passport and 10
reach the United States.
The cold-blooded butcheries witnessed
by Mr. Nillaverde since the withdrawal
Of Gen. Martinez Campos on January
25th seem almost incredible in the nine
teenth centpry hut they confirm the re-
ports OF Weylers plan Of exterminating

because the troops. when disappointed at

caught in an EFFORT to escape from these
merciiess cutthroats. True. they are com

but the majority OF both officers and men
to whose acts OF unwarranted brutal
ity / was an eyewitness do not deserve the

formed murderers.
