( CHARLESTON. W. Va, Feb. s.-The
much mooted question as to whether the
reading OF The bible In the public
schools by che teachers Is a violation Of.
the law in West ylrsinia, Is at last to
be decided by the highest tribunal In
the state. Atest case has been submit
ted to the supreme court. and On early
decision Is expected. The case comes
from Grant district, Marion county. and
the petitioner, John Kennedy. seeks to
compel the board OF education OF Grant
district, and the trustees OF BoothsylIle
free school, TO discontinue the reading
OF the bible to. and in the hearing OF
the pupils, this reading. without note or
comment. being the regular opening ex-
erelses Of that school.
Upon the petition OF Kennedy the su-
preme court issued an alternative writ
OF mandamus against the defendants,
commanding them to cause the teach
ers to discontinue the practice OF read
ing the bible in the schools. The de-
PENDANTS, by their counsel. moved to
quash the writ OF mandamus and the
case has Just been argued before the
court.
". s. Raymond and B. L. Butcher,
OF Falrnont. appeared as attorneys for
the petitioner, and Charles T.. Caldwell,
OF 5Parkersburg. and Perry Shanor, OF
Sistersville, represented the defendants
II was argued by counsel for the
plaintiff that the reading OF the bible
should not be allowed In the public
schools; because. first. such reading Is
religious worship; and. second. the
reading Is religious instruction. It was
further insisted that the constitution OF
West Virginia does not permit the
reading OF selections from any par.icu-
lar version Of the bible. because such
stated reading tends directly to pro-
mote the interest OF one sect or denom-
ination or division OF religtonists to the
exclusion OF ot.-ers: because, to that ex-
tent, It would require the people OF the
district 60 tax themselves for the sup
port OF a church or ministry: and be-
cause to tax man to put down his own
religion is the very essence OF tyran-5

that the laws OF West Virginia ex-
pressly provided for the moral training
Of her youth. 1t was urged that neither
the constitution Eor the statutes OF the
state prohibit the use OF the bible as the
highest standard and authority OF NOR

mere reading OF the bible Is not sectar-
ian instruction, and that such use OF
the bible does not make It a textbook

1 WASHINGTON. teb. IA bfiet en-
hlegram from Ambassador White. at !
Berlin, that came to the department OF
state last evening conveyed the only
otheial information SO far received as 70 !
the decree OF exclusion OF American
fruit from Prussia This cablesranY
was SO meagre that a request has been
sent to Mr.. White tor further details.
While it, is not positively known, It liz I
supposed that the decree applies only
to Prussia and not to all Germany. a
considerable limitation. Whether or
not Il also applies to Canadian fruit -
q matter OF speculation and In view OF
the large trade In Canadian apples this
will be Important for the Dominion aus
thoritics to consider. VII. ~
The German ambassador was visitor
at the state department early to-day
and spent most OF his time with the ofii-9
.clals. After talking with Secretary
Sherman and Assistant Secretary Day,
the ambassador was for half an hour In Z
close consultations with Mr.. Kasson, the
special commissioner for the United
States In the negotiation Of reciprocity
agreements. The ambassador had no !
news from Berlin directly as TO the last
decree which threatens to kill hope of
the negotiation OF any kind Of a reci-
proclty treaty or agreement within the
terms OF the present tarln act SO far. as I
Germany Is concerned.
It Is gathered that the basis OF the
decree. or rather the reason officially to
be cent out by the Prussian government
for the exclusion. Is that some ship
merits OF American apples. coming from
California, have been discovered to be
affected with the disease known as San
Jose scale. but just how German apples
are endangered, even II this fact Should
be established, is not made plain.

During the afternoon. further aavices
were received from Ambassador White
as to the nature of the decree. It would
seem that the full details are not yet
obtainable in Berlin. but II Is expected
that the ambassador will cable the en-
tire decree as soon as he can obtain
possession OF It. The important facts
that were established by the last ad-i
vices, were: First. that. the decree of,
exclusion uses lthezword American as
descriptive OF the place OF origin of the.
fruit. which would seem to include Ca
madam fruit without question:; second,
taat the decree instead OF applying only.
70 fresh fruit. as was at first supposed.
includes In the prohibition all dried.
fruits OF America. y Y Z
State department officials have not
yet recovered from their surprise at
the method adopted by the German
government OF accomplishing its OBJ
ject In this matter, and undoubtedly!
the correspondence to follow will set
this out very clearly. The objection to
the course pursued Is three fold. In
the first place. 1t Is said TO be entirely
without precedent and discourteous to-
wards the American ambassador at
Berlin to make the decree. and put it
Into effect without the slightest warn
Ing to him. In the second place, by.
making the decree take effect at once
and stopping all fruit In transit, great
Injustice Is done to shippers. who thus.
without warning. are made 4 to lose !
heavily on their capital invested in the
f.uit Third. the decree Is condemned
In that It makes no provision for the
1i ir,,Tr ~ ~ hra 1t,tn
permits no demonstration OF origin or.
healthful condition, and In fact +con-
demns all fruit, good and bad alike.
S. These considerations are to be strong
i1y urged upon the German government
as reasons why Il should either revoke
or modify the decree on the lines iadi-s
Gated before any more radical action Is z
taken. X w w

Daniel Sully's New PLAY.

"Uncle Bob" Daniel Sully's new play
presents a strong story of home life in
New York city. The play abounds with
heart interest and clear bright comedy,
there is a strong plot underlying the
piece and the sacrifices made by Uncle
Bob in shielding the son of his old friend
from disgrace in the eyes of his father,
for the sake Of old friendship. is a theme
which is worked up in excellent shape.
One of the most touching scenes ever pro.
duced, is where "Uncle Bob comes
home bringing a sealskin sacque for his
mother, only to find that she is dead.
Mr.. Sully as Robert Byrnes, superinten-
dent Of the Manhattan St. Ry. better
known as "Uncle Bob" has a role parti-
cularly suited to his versatile talents.
The third act shows the Byrnes family
moving into their new home and is one
of the most amusing and novel scenes
produced in years. MI. Sulley's sup.
porting cast is said to be an exceptional
ly strong one. The play affords special
opportunity for musical selections and
several will be introduced during the ac-

Catarrh caa Dc Cured

By eradicating from the blood the scro.
fulous taints which cause it. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly and
permanently, because it strikes at the
root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate passages
of the mucous membrain, sooths and
rebuilds the tissues, giving them a ten.
dency to health instead of disease, and
ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debili.
tated victim of catarrh feel that new life
has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants OF
other local applications, butthake Hoods
Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh absolutely
and surely by removing the causes
which produce it.
