CATHOLIC AFFAIRS
In LATIN AMERICA
An Important Conference of
Prelates at Rome.
Churchmen in This Country Inter-
ested in the Discussions.
The Pope May Appoint Cardinal
for South Amcrica-Brazn
Expects the Honor.

New York, May 2S.-on its own account
and for the indirect bearing its results will
| have on the problem of the Catholic
| Church in our new possessions, prelates
here are intently watching the outcome of
| the Plenary Council of the Bishops of the
Latin Republics which opens today in
Rome.
1t was summoned to meet by a rescript
| from the Pope issued last Christmas and
! addressed to the Archbishops and Bishops
of South America and Mexico. The ses-
sions will be held in the South American
College in Rome and will be presided over
by a~Cardinal specially designated by the
Pope. Ten Archbishops and ffty-nine
Bishops arc expected to participate in the
proceedings.
Many of these prelates passed through
this city on their way across the ocean,
and to some of them experience among
American institutions was OF a very broad
ening character.
The Bishop of Monterey, Mexico, is one
Of the few North American prelates who
witnessed the coronation of Pope Leo XIII.
He travelled over the ocean with the Bishop
of Saltillo. Archbishop Alarcon and Bish-
op Plancarte, of Mexico, and Bishop Thiel,
of Costa Rica, also came through the city.
Peru sends Archbishop Toose and Bish-
ops Basilon, Puirre, Don Falcon, and Ris-
co. Argentina is represented by Arch
bishop Castelanos and six Bishops, Brazil
by two Archbishops and fourteen Bishops,
Bolivia an Archbishop and three Bishops,
Chile an Archbishop and three Bishops,
Colombia an Archbishop and eleven Bish-
ops, Uruguay an Archbishop and two Bish-
ops, and Venezuela an Archbishop and six
Bishops.
No stated programme has been laid
down for the business of the council other
than the general welfare of the Church in
these countries. 1t is understood however,
that one of the chief topics will be the diff
ficulties that are continually cropping up
in all these Republics between the Masonic
bodies and the Church authorities.
Notifications of the existing laws in
their relation to non-Catholic marriages
and burials, and their general liberation
are also likely to come up. The whole
bearing of the teaching of the Spanish
American clergy in contradistinction to
the policy of the Church in the United
States will be present factor in the dis
cussions. This will be all the more impor-
tant and prominent because of the new re-
lationships that the Church must take on
in our new possessions.
1t is anticipated that at the end of the
council, which may last for a week or
more, the Pope will announce that he in
tends to create one of the attending pre-
lRtes Cardinal at the coming consistory
South America has never had Cardinal
1t is believed the honor will go to Brazil.
This council is the first of its kind ever
held in the history of the Church in Amer
lea.

An Old Maids Peculiar Funeral.

Sparkhill, N. Y, May 2S.-Miss Mary Ba-
terman, seventy years old, who died here
last Thursday, had a unique funeral yes
terday. In compliance with her last di-
rections TO her brother-in-law, John Had
den, the old woman was attired in white
gown which she had made especially to be
buried in. Her body was placed in white
casket and a white hearse carried her to
her last resting place. Everything was
carried out as she directed, and white crepe
instead of black was hung on the door.
In keeping with her last wishes, the pail
bearers were all young, unmarried men.
Miss Baterman, when taken dangerously ill
on Thursday, locked herself in room of
her house. Nobody lived with her. No
body shall see me die" she had often said.
She barricaded her door against any ply
sicians invasion. Neighbors found her
dead early in the morning. She left sew
eral thousand dollars, all she was worth, 10

tion, however, that all her wishes in re-

PALMA's REPORT CRITICISED.
More Information About the Cuban
Junta Funds Is Desired.

New York, May 2s.-Estrada Palma's re-
port on the receipts of the Cuban Junta
appears to many members of the Cuban
American League as unsatisfactory. Pres
ident Mcdowell will make formal reply
to it.
1t was said that in Mr. Palma's report
TO the United States Government he stated
that there were 10000 sympathizers with
the cause of Cuban freedom, who had
agreed to devote days labor every month
to its benefit. and reckoning each days
work at FIVE dollars, the total amount
would reach s10O,0 600 month, or 81, 200 900
year, making a sum of S4,S00, 600 for the
period of four years.
I'm an interview" said Cuban Satur-
day, given by Mr.. Palma to one of the
papers some time ago, he placed the amount
received at $1,000, 600; later, in another in
terview, at $1,25O,OOO, and Saturday at
81, ,513, 0OO."
Mr. Palma hereafter will probably not
be found at the Junta Office, Sc New Street.
He is going to close it and go to his home
in the country.

Dangerous Symptoms.

Many men become sexually weak early in life.
or at least prior 10 old age. Some beca':se OF
dissipation high living; some because Of
worry over bad crops business reverses or finan-
cial failures; some because OF marital eXcesses;
but by far the larger portion of those who are
prenaturely weak, debilitated, or impotent in
their sexual organs, have become so through
carly habits of youth.
This weakness quickly cured by the of The
Old DR.. Hallock Wonderful Electric Pills. Age
no barrier. These Pills restore the wgOr Of
youth.
LOST MANHOOD may be conveniently divided
into three stages, follows:
First Stage-The main trouble Is involuntary
night drains, which are usually accompanied
by dreams. They terrible drain upan tine
system. They rob the blood OF its richness,
and often produce pimples, efuptions, dark rings
under the eyes, and like symptoms. o.
BY using these Eleertic Pills at this stage the
patient is quickly curcd-the drains stop and all
the symptoms disappear 7S
Second Stsge-The victim has drains. often
without dreams. lie may have premature dis
charges and shrunken organs. He II shuns his
friends and avoids society. He is often subject
to nervousness, headaches, weak back, dyspepsia,
low spirits, loss Of memory, confusion OF ideas,
and ',ck OF energy, ambition. and selfconfdence.
SIX boxes oi Pills should be used FOR this stage.
Gradually by their use the MAN Is develooed and
strength once more is returned IL

Third stage-The drains are less frequent. The
sexual strength begins to fail. In time all power
is wholly lost. The transmission Of life to pos
terity is only empty dream. The poor victim
has lost his grip on life. Every cherished ambi-
tion is dead. The world grows dark TO him.
