CATHOLIC PERMITS TO MARRY.
An Explanation Made of the Recent
PapaI Decree.

NEW YORK, Dec 29.-Concerning the
| reports that Catholic who marries a
Protestant will have to go to Rome to get
| a dispensation required by the Catholic
Church before priest can perform the
! ceremony, Archbishop Corrisan said yes
terday that an entirely wrong conclusion
had been drawn by the public from the
Papal decree relating to the suspension of
dispensations in holy year.
"At the end OF every century" the Arch
bishop explained the Holy Father sus-
pends special faculties TO ordinaries OF dio-
ceses. This is a custom brought down for
centuries. AS was said in. the circular to
the clergy, at this season, particularly.
Rome should be the fountain of mercy and
spiritual favors for the Catholics Of the
entire world. and this is a time for all
Catholics to turn to Rome. But it would
be manifestly impossible for everyone who
desired dispensation from the church TO
possibly make a journey to Rome TO Sc
cure the dispensation. So far as mixed
marriages are concerned Catholics who de-
sire to marry non-Catholics in 1900 will
seek dispensations in the same manner as
heretofore
One of the Archbishopp's secretaries ex-
planned afterward that the Catholic Church
required no man to DO the Impossible. In
the early centuries df the church, he ex-
planned. II was an easy matter to gather at
Rome, where all dispensations could be
granted directly by the head Of the church
Now that was impossible. The decree re-
Gently promulgated, he said, was in accord
with the custom of the early church. 1t
emphasized to all Catholics that Rome was
the fountain head of the Church.
Another decree bearing on this matter of
the suspension of dispensation in the holy
year may be expected in few days.

is that in the neighborhood of Twentieth
and F streets northwest. In the latter sec
tion there are numerous Government build
ings. besides many costly business houses
and dwellings. The nearest engine COM
pany is SO far distant that property is en-
dangered during the lapse of time between
the turning in Of an alarm and the response
of a company.
Southeast Washington, already well
supplied with engines and hose carriages.
Is very much In need Of truck company.
AT present Truck A. located on North Cap
itol street, between and C streets north
east, has to cover this entire section, in
addition TO part Of the business centre,
and parts of the county between the Po-
tomac River and Benning. This section has
so much improved during recent years that
the property owners should be given the
benefit Of such company. Included in the
county east OF the Anacostia River is the
property of the Government Hospital for
the Insane, the German Orphan Asylum,
the abattoir, and many large dwellings. AS
the fire department is now organized, Sc
rious loss might be sustained because Of
the delay in reaching the scene Of the con-
fiagration.
"An engine company is also needed in
Georgetown. This company should be To-
Gated somewhere in the vicinity of Thir-
tyfourth and Q streets.
"A company established in this section
would respond to calls not only in George
town, but also in the county, going as far
as the Methodist University. the Episcopal
Cathedral (now in course OF erection). and
Tenleytown. Inside Of the city limits it
would afford better protection to George
town College and the many large buildings
adjacent thereto"

she thought of small window in the side
OF the icebox near the door. She immeii-
ately shattered the glass of this and, put

young to marry.
Over a month ago friend of the family
who is alsc one OF the board of managers
of the Brooklyn Training School, told the
father that IL would not be right to allow
his daughter TO marry and she so young.

water he cried to his brother, "Good-by
Frank. Tell mother I've drowned" and

Hi GEORGIA BAPTISTS ON LYN.
CHINGS AND CRIMES

The Baptist convention of Georgia met
a few days ago and took action against
l%ynchings. A distinguished judge
stated that crime was greatly on the
increase, and by reason of the slowness
of courts in convicting criminals. The
convention echoed this opinion in reso-
lutions. The methods of justice are in
deed slow and uncertain, and h scoun-
drels go on committing fearful crimes
for which the most of them go cum
whipped of justice" and the victims
are ~unavenged. The convention says
that the people have lost confidence in
the courts, and that "the criminals
alone appear to have any rights" And
while this is true to a great extent, the
criminal avs are defective, the jury
system a dead failure, the technicali-
ties and rights on the side of the viii
lains, h one-man power is permitted
to come in and to set aside the deci-
sions of courts, and to turn u e d
handed murderers and beastly rapists
free and ready to begin again their
hellish, iendish work.
Judge Hilyer, of Atlanta, told the
convention, as chairman of a commit
tee on crimes, and lynchings that as
the law was slow the legislature be
appealed to to note the facts and fig
ures, that action be urged upon that
body, and hat it be reminded of the
army Of voters presenting the appeal"
The figures given showed great increase
in homicides. In 1894 there were 5000; in
1896, there were $1,000. Judge Hilyer
spoke of 1.-The ease with which verdicts
are set aside in the court room, and the
facility with which notorious criminals
escape punishment" and said the peo-
pie lose confidence in the effective
ness OF the law to punish criminals.
Hence the increase in lynchings. Al.
though he had twice brought this mat
ter before the Bar Association, they had
taken no action. He appealed from the
Bar t o the Church to aid in correcting
this great evil"

BREVITIES

The Fcyt-BurrOughs idea of shooting
religion into a people trying to secure
independent nee is barbaric in the extreme.
The Atlanta Journal makes an historic
reference as follows:
'Mahomet did not pretend to preach
a gospeq of love and peace. He consid-
cred it as much his duty to STAY i'm
penitent unbelievers as to spare and
bless those who professed his faith, and
he worked on both lines with great
effect"
Heigho! Even a reaction against
the old corrupt republican party in
Rhode Island has begun. Democrats
gained 1000 votes or reduced the re-
publican vote that much. They in
creased their vote in every district in
the little state.
The court has had so much proof of
bad beef it shut off General Miles. The
people have made up the right verdict.
Too many soldiers and officers have
testified against bad beef for the court
to vindicate the rascals or to change
public opinion. DR.. Currie testified
that he had discovered, by analysis,
that Swift & Co.'S beef and Armour's
beef were treated with salycilic acid.
DR.. Petri, of Berlin, is experimenting
as to the disinfection of cars. He has
| found that the railway cars are vehicles
for carrying and spreading deadly dis
eases.
Carl Schurz made in Philadelphia
before the Academy of Political and
Social Sc ence a strong argument
against m~ilitarism and expansion.
Old Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, has
taken a decided stand against "imperi-
alism."
The Pope says that he will appoint
a dozen new cardinals a year from now.
Before May 1, $4,000 troops will re-
turn from Cuba. There is a big rush
to get them out before the dreadful
sickly season sets in.
The last combine or trust announced
is that of the paper mills. A corpor-
alton with S42, 500, 900 capital (much
watered) is in process Of formation at
Springfield, Mass.
President Harper wants $4,000, 900 for
his university at Chicago, and Yale
universal wants 81, 200, 900. It is sug-
gested that these are fine examples OF
