The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-03-25

In an opinion handed down yestnr-
day Judge II. w Archibald refused to
grant a charter to the Church of the
Mother of God of Czenstochowa, which
was organized by Polish residents pf
Taylor. The petition for the inCor-
poration Of this church was filed On
Nov. so. 1898, and the purposes Of 1t
was stated to be the support of public
worship according to the faith, doe
trine, discipline and usagcs Of the TO-
man Catholic church.
On December %, 1898. Attorney r. /.
Ioban, acting then for ut. Rev. Bishop
OHara, in whose place Rt. Rev. Bis
hop Hoban's name was substituted af-
ter Bishop O'Hara's death, filed excep-
tions to the charter on the ground that
under the laws of the Roman Catholic
church a parish may be formed only
by the will or act of the bishop Of the
diocese; that any parish, church or
association formed without his consent
would be schismatical, n-Catholic and
seCtaIan; and that the bishop had not
given his consent in this case: and that
the object of the petitioners was 20
deceive unvary persons of Polish birth
to join the church under the Guise that
it was to be a Roman Catholic church.
In his opinion Judge Archibald says:
JUDGE ARCHBALD'S OPINION.
This application by a number of per-
sons of Polish birth and the purpose
for which a charter is asked. as stated
therein. is the support Of public wor-
ship according to The faith, doctrine,
discipline and usages of the Roman
Catholic church.
The exceptions taken on behalf of tho
bishop of this diocese allCge that the
object is not as so stated, but is really
to secure the incorporation of a sChlS-
matte body which has received the cen
sure and condemnation of the duly con-
stituted authorities of the church men
toned that under the canon law of
that church no such organization as
that proposed can be formed except
with the consent Of the ordinary or
bishop, and that he has not given his
consent and will not do 50: that public
worship according to the usages of the
Roman Catholic church cannot be con-
Quoted without a regularly ordained
priest in good standing whose attend
anCe could not be obtained in the pres
ent instance; and finally that the pos
session of charter would only make
it possible for q group of factious, tur-
bulent and designing persons to delude
Catholics of Polish birth into the idea
that this was a regularly organized
Roman Catholic congregation.
The counsel who represents the appli-
cation has admitted in writing that
what is so stated is true, and has
agreed that proof of the facts by depo-
sitions may be dispensed with This
admission having been made there is
but one thing for us to do. With the
general polity Of the Roman Catholic
church we have as a court no concern;
and of it's schisms and differences on
points of doctrine and discipline we
can take little notice.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-03-25
MUST BE DONE OPENLY.

If a schismatical body within it de-
sires Incorporation there is no good
reason why it should not be permitted
to have the aid of the law to do SO, the
same as an orthodox organization. But
this must be done openly and with due
announcement of the schismatiCal char
aCter Of the body and not under the
Gulse Of being an OffshOot of the true
one.
] may assert itself if you please in
its own order of doctrine to he the re-
pository Of the true faith if that be its
contentious against this we would have
no right to array ourselves; but it can
not be permitted to appropriate the
name and with it the appearance of
regularity which belongs to the duly
established organization, under the ad-
mitted facts the very object here is to
do this and thereby deceive the I'M
wary.
This we are not prepared to sanction.
The name attaches To and covers the
doctrine, discipline and usaGes Of the
general church with which it is asso-
Ciated. In the use of that name the
body which has an unqualified rieht
to ii Is entitled to protection against
its usurpation by others who have no
such right and who only seek to en-
plOy it for purposes of deception. That
in short is the aspect which the appli-
cation before us presents and it must
therefore be refused.

million, subsiss On Riee.

Without question, the grain most
extensively used as an article OF food
all the world over is rice. Hundreds
of million of people chiefly subsist on
it, and its consumption is constantly
increasing. 1t is the principal diet OF
at least one-third of the human race,
formingthe chief food of the native popu.
lations of India, China, Japan, NADIA
gascar; many parts of Africa, and In
fact of almost all eastern nations. The
Burmese and Siamese are the greatest
consumers of it. A Malay laborer gets
through Sc pounds monthly; Bumese
or Siamese 46 pounds in the same
period. The eastern nations also chiefly
obtain their beverages from rice, which
is the principal grain distilled in Siam,
Japan, and China. Saki, or rice beer,
is produced in Japan to the extent oil
$50, 900, 900 gallons annually. Although
rice is such a universal article OF food.
it is not SO nourishing rs wheat or soc,e

its substance consists Of starch or
water; consequently it forms moro fat
than muscle. The yield OF rice III five
times as heavy as that OF wheat. the

eRApsrREer's REVIEW.


Strength Of Prices the Leading Features
Of tho Trade Situation.
Bradstreet's says:
Strength of prices, natural outcome
of the past and present active demand,
is still the leading feature of the trade
situation, Notwithstanding unseasonably
warm weather in some sections OF the
country tends to restrict retail trade
and necessarily exercise some effect ON
recorders and collections by jobbers.
The strength of textile, both raw and
manufactured, has been further accen.
tuated during the week, increases being
noted in raw cotton, wool and hemp.
Wool has been equally strong, al.
though transactions are smaller and .
material gain in prices is to be noted,
while from the manufactured goods
branch it was reported Of confident
strength and of future advances in
mems wear, goods and carpets.
Cereals appear to have reached q
dead level, with prices showing little
or no change. The dullness of wheat
at domestic markets finds explanation
in Bradstreet's statistics of worlds
stocks, which indicate q gain for the
month of over II, O0O,O 900 bushels, con-
tributed entirely from American
sources, however, as foreign supplies
showed slight shrinkage.
Anxiety in lumber is feature at
many markets, and strength of prices
is no less marked. Signs accumulate
that shoe manufacturers and jobbers
are meeting with success in securing
recently advanced prices. Hides and
leather are alphabetically strong, and
shoe manufacturers are actively en-.
ployed.
In iron and steel there is rather more
irregularity noted. Active demand on
railroad account has induced an ad-
vance in iron and steel bars Of IS per
ton, but steel billets are lower. There
is heavy volume of business reported
in pig iron for late 1900 delivery, and
that product is slightly higher ut the

Eutbusiasm Received a Check.

An enterprising washing machine
agent, who has been meeting with good
success in Whitneyville, had his ardol
sadly dampened the other day. He
called at house in town, and, the mis-
tress being absent, he persuaded hel
son to let him show up the merits o.
his machine in practical way. There
were no dirty clothes in the house, con-
sequently the agent persuaded the
young man to change his shirt and give
him the garment on which to exercise
the cleansing power of his new inven.
ton. He inserted the shirt in the
washer and placed it on the stove made
glowing hot with dry edgings. AS he
alternated his labors in filling the stove
and revolving his machine, the lady Of
the house made her appearance. She
marched straight to the oven door and
flung 1t wide open. The smoke from 9
ruined pot of beans filled the room tc
suffocation. The agent was forced te
make an ignominious retreat. Wher
he seeks permission to test the machine
now he looks sort of scared as he re-
marks in casual way: II presume
there are no beans in the oven.

A New Road to Dawson.

J. j. Macarthur, who has been in
charge of the construction of the Cana
dian governments new winter trail be-
tween Bennett and Dawson, has arrived
in Skagway, having completed the
trail. The new route is $50 miles
shorter than the old all-river route.
The first so miles of it by land beyond
Bennett is along the grade of the ex-
tension of the White Pass railroad to
White Horse rapids. Beyond that
the government force of 80 men cut the
trail through 100 miles of timbered
country. The road in no place is more
hilly than in ordinary Western regions,
and it leads around the rapids that are
a vexation to those travelling the old
river route.
The first mail to Dawson over the
new route was sent out several days
ago in charge of the Canadian Devel.
bpment Company, which has the con-
tract to carry American as we'll as the
British mails this winter to and from
the Klondike. Roadhouses are being
opened every rs to 80 miles along the
road. and the terrors of long journeys
in the Arctic region without place of
shelter will not have to be endure in
making the trip to Dawson hereafter.

engage in shedding and general freight
ing over the new route this winter ex-
pect heavy travel, especially toward

put on $50 teams.
