BAN REMOVED.

ROME. Oct. 1.-THE following is
the full text of the official instructions
from Cardinal Ledochowski TO the
Bishop of Belleville. ILL.,. bearing on the
recent controversy in the Catholic
Church of East S.. Louis:
Remove Immediately the eNcommu-
nication from the parish, as they do
not deserve IL. Get Father CruZe %

The MEETING CT Ctt6KESS.

In about a month from this time
Congress will meet, and begin a ses-
sion which promises TO be one of ex-
traordinary interest. 1t will consider
the financial question, that is, of
settling the standard of coin, though
it may not take final action on it.
1t Will take up the relation of the
Federal Government to the new ter
ritories, after the people have reflected
on it for some months, and the blood
has cooled off. The perplexing prob
lens will be the government OF Porto
Rico, acquired by conquest, the tenn
porary government of Cuba, the despo-
sition of the Philippines and the meas
ures for governing Hawaii. Each of
these questions is quite enough to cause
prolonged debate and create much diff
ference of opinions. Each of them
should be separated from the others.
and be treated upon its own merits.
excepting only as all are involved in
a common policy. But any clear cut
separation is improbable The ques-
tons are novel. and call for new depar-
lures. The fight between the strict and
the liberal constructionists of the Con
stitution will be bitter. Behind the
opinions which members of Congress
have. and will express on general poll
teal principles, there are those other
opinions which are more active in the
minds of congressman regarding the
effect of legislation upon the coming
presidential campaign. These opinions
are now the unknown factors and will
operate as undercurrents.
Hawaii owing to its limited area, and
small white population, presents to
Congress the least important of all
these questions. To us, residing here
it is the most important. AS annex
alton has taken place, Congress may
treat Hawaii as it treats Alaska or any
other territory. 1t is not under pres

because she is no longer independent
The bills already introduced into
both Houses for the government of
Hawaii express the views Of the Re
publican leaders. but at the same time,
contain novel provisions regarding the
disposition of lands, and of the pro-
perty qualifications III the local politi-
cal system, which will cause debate and
opposition. Whether the majority in
Congress will accept these provisions
cannot be safely predicted. There is
some ground for believing that the Ha-
| waiian case may be disposed of before
the first of March.
But if the labor Questions. and the
tariff questions are forced into the dis
| cussion. there will probably be much
delay in acting upon the matter.

MR.. HERBERf'S REPORT.

Mr. Allan Herbert, as one Of the
Commissioners OF Agriculture, should
be encouraged to preach the gospel of
reform in our land system, and the
care OF our forests. Like all apostles,
he cannot expect much support from
a community that is PROSTATE before
the sugar god, and does not smile
upon any industry that may interfere
with it's worship. The pastor of a
church on the dangerous coast of New
Jersey fervently implored his congre-
CATION, which was composed entirely
of people engaged in the "wrecking'
business, to establish a theological
seminary in the town. \ committee

that the wrecking business was good

lead the people astray and make them
dissatisfied Mr.. Herbert must under
stand that while individual sentiments
are in many cases in favor of small
farms and improvements, the prevail
ing public sentiment is against intro
ducing any industries which may lead
people astray. To sacrifice all other
interests to one large profitable indus
try is natural and in accordance with
all experience. The agricultural wri-
ters of the South have urged the cot
ton planters for thirty years to en-

public sentiment has been in favor OF
cotton-raising, and the agricultural
writer's have been regarded as false
Apostles who have tried to lead the
people astray.
The local government has been, for
years, exceedingly weak in the Interior
Department, in which laid the hope OF
adjusting our industries so as to par
TALLY equalize them. We have needed
something more than natural evolu-
tion here. The sugar industry created
abnormal conditions, and these should
have been met constantly by an ener-
g,etie. almost irrepreSsible officer of the
Interior, who had seen to it that sugar
did not have it's own way in all things
and in the name of American civiliza
ton at least, had irresistibly and IL
spite of any and all opposition. hat
established the small farms, and small
industries.
Mr.. Herbert will, unfortunately, fine
that the improvements which he de
sires. will hereafter be more or les
subject to partisan and political con
troll. That sort of superintendent,
does not generally work for much good
but Mr.. Herbert must not be dis
nonraged. Providence has assigned t.

THE DAILY REST.
II Women Would Lie Down Every After

Every woman should make it mat

the afternoon for physical and mental
rest. Young women commonly disre-

anything to do or any place to go to,
carry on their affairs with light heart,
but older women know the value of it.

One exceptionally brave gown among
those introduced into England is made
from white serge in tunic form, the
ruffles outlining the skirt being edged
by black braid. There are knicker-

A thing to be said in behalf of these

WORCESTER WOMEN SLOW.
A Rainy-day Dress Has Been Adopted in
Other Cities.

Worcester women are notably slow in
adopting new fashions in dress'or con-
duct, so that the rainy day costume is
not so common on our streets as in
other cities. A good many women
simply will not go out if it rains;
others never go out in bad weather I'M
less they have cab to go in. Once in
great while you see one of the funny
old "gossamers" that looked like a
hearse and set of horse hair furni-
ture thrown into one floating down the
pavement, but these denominations have
been practically called in. Haven't
you noticed how almost completely
they have disappeared? And a good
thing, too, for they made woman ug-
ly in face and deformed in figure to a
cruel degree.
But the rainy day costume as it is
known in other towns has not cap
tured Worcester, and it is a dreadful
pity that it has not, for it is quite the
prettiest, most sensible, modest and
comfortable rig woman can get into
for outdoor wear on a musSy day. Of
course you know it when you see it
the short skirt, tiny Jacket snug hat,
stout boots?
In Such a suit the ra1ny-day girl can
go out free from the hindrance of UNI
brella and macintosh except in really
severe weather. And her clothes should
be made of such tough goods that can
stand even that and not be the worse
for it. To hear some people talk, you
would think it the height of unpleasant
ness to go out when it rains. In reality
it is good. fun, provided you do not
have to worry over your clothes. The
sensation of spelling your things is de-
cidedly uncomfortable. 1t is one of the
beauties of the rainy-day suit that it
lifts you above such tantalizing
thoughts and leaves you free for bust
ness or pleasure. When will Worcester
women see the wisdom of it and equip
themselves with this most useful ap-
purtenance to a wardrobe?
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-09

same is true; our lace stockings with
heavy shoes.
You should say that it depended
much upon the woman wearing it,
whether the new, very short skirts
would be becoming.
One costume of the French style as
approved by English dealers is made
from poppy-red serge, with narrowest
white soutache braid. Knickerbockers
of the serge fit quite closely. Tie
blouse comes in box-plait style into a
belt at the back. The tiny skirt is cut
to hang in box plait effect. An anirla-
ted figure in scarlet should make a
pretty sight in the green water.
Red is favored greatly in these "adap-
ted costumes. Another, from French
bunting, is in claret-colored cashmere
trimmed with fanciful white wool
braid an inch wide. The narrow sleeves
are hardly more than a width of The
braid. An effort is made to introduce
to English favor with this claret cos
