LAST OF THE
GHOST LECTURES
Father Yorke Spoke Of Our
Own Spook" to a Large
Audience Last Night.
When Protestants and tholios
Fought Side by Side Bigotry
Vanished.
The War Of the Revolution Prao-
tioally Made an End of Religious
Intolerance

The weather las. night, although some
what inclement. was not severe enough to
keep the people away from Metropolitan
Temple, for that spaciou. edifice was filled
with an audience eager to hear Father
Yoke deliver the last of the series of lee
lures on 'Ghosts."
John Barrett of the Catholic Truth So
ciety, under whose auspices the lectures
were given. made short though forcible
address, in which be defined the position
of the Catholic church. He said its mis-
sion was to teach the living truth, before
which bigotry must vanish. The Arcadian
Quarter, which is composed OF four young
ladies, sang Annie Laurie" and were
obliged to respond, so hearty was the
encore.
Father Yorke was then introduced. His
appearance was the signal for an outburst
minutes. The reverend gentleman be-
gan his lecture by referring to the
preiudices OF non-Catholics towards the
church, which were not to be feared
were il not for deep-rooted aversion
which they had to hear and examine the
claims of the Catholic church. He then
American colonies and how the ghosts of
the old world found their way into the
new. The old laws which were in force
against the Catholics in England obtained
in Virginia, and it was not until William
Penn esta ablished the colony of PennsyIva-
MIA that Catholics and Protestants found
q place where they could be at peace, for
Penn built his new State on the founda-
tions of religious liberty.
The speaker dwelt on the prosecutions
of Catholics which took place in Virginia
and other colonies following the acces-
sion of William of Orange, and which
continued up to the time when the rup.
ture took place between the colonists and
England. Speaking of those events
Father Yorke SAID:
Events rapidly drove the colonists to COM
pletc break with England "If we 10 not hang
together" said one of the signers of the Dec
larstion of Independence, eve shall all hang
separately" The common cause, the common
enthusiasm, broke down the barriers of re.
ligious intolerance. Catholics and Protes stants
stood shoulder 10 shoulder against English
tyranny, and between men who stand shoulder
to shoulder for freedom no ghosts can come.
The TOPIC of rellg ious liberty soon became a
common subject OF discussion. Many of the
States caught the new spirit, and in the consti-
tuition adopted after the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence, removed former restrictions on
Catholics and admitted them to citizenship.
The speaker then related the history OF

WASHINGTON. Nov. %.
Elizabeth L. Smiley commenced pro-
ceedings here to-day for limited divorce
from Charles w. Smiley. They were mar
ried in this city in 1890. Mrs. Smiley al
leges that they are first cousins; declares
that some lime previous to their marriage
her husband chad inoculated her with
ideas not in accordance with modern CIV
iliZation and such was the influence the
defendant gained over her mind that she
saw things only in the light in which he
presented them to ner, rarely exercising
her own Judgment so much so that she
would put in writing requests TO hlm TO
do many things utterly at variance with
common-sense and admissions as to her
conduct" and that he even made her be-
lieve it was a favor to take sums OF her
money and invest it in his name.
Continuing the petition recltes that me
has made her married life one OF contln u
Gus self-effacement, abnegation and bend
ing to his will, and she has been made to
telieve IL her duty 10 yield to the slightesi
wish of an arbitrary and exactlng SELF
appointed judge and master"
She alleges that he thought she de-
served such treatment in order to become
worthy to move in the same high plane IN
which he has led her TO believe he moved.
The petitioner asserts that he made out
list of petty offenses against her which
she still has, for which she should pay
fines varying from cents 10 81, requiring
her to agree 10 pay the same cheerfully
and without appeal or argument as to the
right or wrong thereof"
The defendant is New Englander.
Both lived in Washington for the last
eight or ten years. He compiled the
fisheries statistics for the last census, and
was subsequently sent by the fish COM
mission to collect statistics ON the Pacific
Coast.

CONGRESS SPRINGS, Nov. % The
Stanford football squad spent Sunday as
a day of rest. The players went in body
to schurch in Saratoga. The good ole
minister prayed for the success of the car
dinal and expressed his Joy at being able
to address the young men.
This morning work began again in
earnest. The squad was taken for long
walk up the canon. At 1920 the men
lined up for the last time before the
eyentful game of Thursday, and for thirty
minutes the two elevens fought like
Nsmons. driven on by the entreaties of
Billy" HARRISON and "Phat' Downing
Of 50 fame.
The second team was on the offensive
during the entire practice TO build up the
defense of the first. On downs Brooke re-
turned the ball to the second eleven and
had them hammer the Varsity tackles.
Leavitt and Parker were the Varsity end.
They played the half with Fisher. Hill
was in as fullback, Cotton having
vrenched his ankle in single practice.
Jeffs was in Murphy's place at quarter.
Murphy has an attack of poison oak that
is giving him considerable trouble. The
doctor says that he will be all right to-
morrow.
In the meantime Murphy is unable 10
do any work. Rice and Rea Smith lined
up for signal pracUice this morning, but
did not play in the game. Rice's knee is
improving rapidly, although he Is not al
lowed to do any hard work withit.
With the exception of the above men
the teams are in prime ply sical condition.
Fisher and Parker have recovered from
the sym ptoms of staleness which gave the
coaches some cause for alarm when leav-
ing the campus. This afternoon the Sec
ono team was sent back to the university.
Brooke has kept nine of the second cam
for subs. Later in the afternoon Brooke
lined up the varsity for an hours drill in
signals. Cotton, Murphy ana Hill viewed
the practice from the side lines. All the
substitutes were given chance in their
aces.
Jeffs and Parker are practically sure of
being the ends. Daily has secured his
position at half. His work in the morning
practice was good. To-day the practice

A Geographical Misflt.

As q state Turkey Is a heterogeneous
assemblage Of peoples under the absolute
sway of the sultan. 1t is a government
lacking altogether sense for the right Of
a community to choose concerning its own
government. It thoroughly represents the
oriental idoa whereby government is trans
oendent, power above and outside the
people, and not immanent, power with
In the people. And herein lies the appli-
cation of the occidental oriental antithesis
to political institutions. The occidental
conception of life as active and creative,
inhering In active and self moving, arton-
omous personalities begets the political
idea Of what we call self government. The
idea which represents personality as self
directed in the fulfillment Of It's own pur-
poses becomes when applied to politics the
idea that communities shall be self gov
erncd In things belonging to themselves.
This is the political upshot Of occidental
Ism. The opposite thereto is the upshot
OF orientalisIn. A potentate seated on a
very high throne under q very broad can-
opy and loaded with very costly jewels
with prostrate subjects bowling in obci-
sance before him-that Is the tableau Of
oriental government
Tureky Is thoroughly oriental, repre-
sentatively oriental in It's political spirit.
Its location upon occidental soil Is a geo.
graphical misft, historical anachro-
nism. 1t Is stranded wreck, left high and
dry beyond the sea walls by receding
tidal wave, but no one undertakes to clear
1t away because the land on which 1t rests
is in litigation. j. Wheeler In
