WAS next put on the stand anu from
him it was learned that neither this

trolled affairs In the Vatican have at

trolled affairs In the Vatican have at
last recognized a different condition in
the church in the western hemisphere
than obtains in the continent Of Eu-
rope.
To the Roman Catholic the new de-
cree is just as sweeping as the one
which it virtually wipes out OF exist
ence. The new decree allows priest
to oficiate at the burial and permits
the interment OF a Roman Catholic
Mason or knight Of Pythias in conse-
Grated ground. The only provision
made is that the deceased must not
have been openly hostile to the church,
and that he must have expressed at
some time, even if indirectly. a will
ingness to become reconciled to the
church. This concession means every
thing to the families of the men who
thought il was consistent with their
faith to belong to such orders. not
withstanding the original drastic de-
cree. 1t is said it will heal many pain
full wounds and will have a great eff
feet in preventing bitter feeling and
dissension. If a deceased Catholic
who belonged to a secret order may be
buried in consecrated ground. It is con-
tended that the church I'LL open its
/ doors to him before he dies and that
he will be no longer banned and re-
/ fused the rights of the church, even
/ though he does not give up his mem
| bership in the order to which lie be-
| longs.
It is said the continental clericE
| have at last recognized the difference
| between the Free Masons OF the con-
| finent and those Of the United States
! and England. ne Masonic oath in
| the two latter countries does not i'm
| ply antagonism to the Roman Catholic
faith. The order is beneficial and fra
| ternal. 1t is claimed that on the con-
tinent of Europe, however, that the
Masonic order is honeycombed with
| conspiracies against the church. When
| the original decree was promulgated
bitter feelings were engendered be-
| cause some pastors refused TO allow
burial in consecrated ground and de
! ceremonies at the funerals of those
who had belonged to the prescribed
orders. Other pastors, however, read
the decree differently and performed
the church burial services. The new
decree removes all difficulty in this di-
rection and overcomes the scrupIes OF
pastors who carried out the original
! decree vigorously

on blocked kick, the
bail being on the thirty-five yard line
at the time. Bemis Pierce
tore MS way through, and
the ball hitting him squarely on the
chest, bounded back to the fifteen
yard line, where Wheelock picked it
up and carried it behind the goal
posts. Illinois had chance to score
soon after, getting the ball on fun
bic on Carlisle's forty-yard line and
advancing it to the fifteen-yard line.
Here the Indians held, however, and
poor pass for kick resulted in the
redmen getting the ball. Carlisle
scored again in the second half. Varied
by occasional try at ends, the ball was
carried through the tackles straight
down the field for fifty yards, Cayou
finally being pushed over the goal
line. Pierce failed at goal. The
Indians worked desperately for an
other touchdown and carried the ball
from their own ifteen-yard line to
within six inches of the Illinois goal,
but the call of time prevented them

Harvard Defeats Yale.
New Haven, Nov. 20.-Harvard de-
feated Yale at football Saturday after
noon II to 0, winning a clean and fast
game, Astounding in brilliant plays.
The Harvard eleven excelled in every
department and the playing was mar
velous under the miserable weather
conditions. Every point vas made by
straightforward open tactics Har-
wards great speed, power and concen-
tration of attack, superior kicking and
splendid physical condition won. The
Yale players fought hard in sheer des-
peration and finished strong. The
gridiron was submerged and the rain
poured when the game was called.

tually favored treatment except for
silk goods, which will remain subject
to maximum tax. Negotiations that
eliminated in these arrangements
were on foot for two years and were
conducted with the utmost secrecy. It
Is believed mat the Fashoda affair was
instrumental in inducing France TO
grant the necessary concessions. The
exact effect of the concessions involved
are not known yet, but it is expected
that they will have an important po-
litical influence for a removal of the
long standing friction between the
two countries. The treaty, it will be
noticed, was concluded during the alb
sence of Emperor William from Ger
many and there is much specula ton
regarding its probable results upon
European alliances.
