MRS. PAUL KRUGER.
Description of the Wife of the Fa-
nous Dom Paul.

Mrs. Kruger, wife of the president OF
the Transvaal Republic is unhand-

She is also economical, though her
famous husband has a capital of $685.

She is so rich that it would take the
greatest effort to spend their income in

ing interests. To do this she would
! have TO live in almost barbaric splen-
dor, but. bless you, she even does her
own. cooking
1t is probable that her acute. subtle
husband approves of her style of living.
II he objects, no one returning from
that fair land has ever heard Of it 1t
is more than probable that by just such
thrifty methods Mr. Kruger himself
rose into his present eminence
But think OF il,
The income of 100000 and to do

To fuss and fume and fret and stew
over boiling stove in a hot. hot land,
rather than spend the money on a
maid, And not only to cook. for il is
whispered-and loudly in tourist and
English circles in Africa-that she
very often takes a hand in the wash
ing and that she scrubs and rolls the
the best of them
She also insists upon making her own
beds. This may be because the Kru-
ger, needs an untroubled pillow, a
sheet without a wrinkle TO ease him
from the arduous duties of scheming
to make empires and millions but if
she does the rest of he hard work it is
probable she. makes the bed also to
save the perny-or whatever the money
is in that land
When her husband has state guests
to dinner. that is. indeed the time the
good lady shines; here she shows the
stuff Of which she is made, and does
honor TO her millions and her position

Not at the foot or the head of the

THE POPE TO FRENCH BISHOPS
PRoCLAIMs HIS LOVE FOR
FRANCE IN ENcYCLIcAL.
Speaks Of Her mission and Greatness
at Time When the Republic Had
Dark Days.

! The encyclical to the French bishops
is written in French, and makes thirty
! seven pages. 1t was prepared by Car
dinals Ferrata, Satolli and Mgr. Ia
| barelli. But it was Leo XIII who. after
having made the sketch of it, put the
finishing touches to it.
That encyclical, as is well known.
was to appear early this winter; but
| the perf1dious exploitation which the
reactionists of all shades and of all
countries gave to the letter of the Pope
to Cardinal Gibbons, and to the decree
OF the Congregation Of Bishops any
regulars caused the adjournment of it's
publication. Tine enemies of the Pa
pacy even announced that this doctri-
nal document amounted to a condem-
nation of the socialistic Catholics. the
democratic priests and laymen.
To put stop to this lying campaign,
Leo XIII was obliged to send to the
Archbishop of Bourges a precise and
severe letter, in which he sti~matized
the intrigue and reiterated his reUub-
lican and. democratic instructions. Com
menting upon the Pontificial letter,
Mgr. Servonnet declared that it was
aimed directly at all the reactionists,
and that it condemned their policy.
The present encyclical shows clearly
that the enemy shouted victory too
soon. 1t forms the logical development
and the authentic confirmation, solemn
and irrevocable, of the doctrines of
Leo XIII.
Everybody knows that the reaction
lists and enemies Of the French reDub-
lie have of late exercised considerable
pressure on the Vatican, with a view
to the burial of union on the one hand,
and the separation of the Holy Father
and the Papacy from France. The
Dreyfus episode presented a splendid
opportunity to compel the Pope to keep
silent and remain inactive. What was
to be expected from a country given
over to discord and anarchy? What
madness it was to fancy that the re-
public could ever be wise. well ball
anced and efficacious for the we'll being
and advancement of the people! With
out turning back directly, would 1t not
be better to remain silent and re-
served? But Leo XIII did not think
that he should listen to such advice. He
proclaimed his love for France. He
confirmed her mission and her great
ness at the moment when all her jeal-
Gus rivals and her enemies were pre-
pairing to welcome her hopeless down

The silk waists are much more eiab-

There are to be this fall many cloth

have the waists of the same material,

of whether separate waists and skirts
are going to be fashionable this winter

| fall in a most wretched adventure. 1t
| would be fastidious to point to the
value of that conduct.
From social and democratic point
CT view, the encyclical to the French
bishops is not alone the browning of the
Roman doctrines; it is the approval
and the blessing of the democratic and
social priests. That is a long distance
from condemnation. For this the Pope
names his conditions: on the one hand
rectitude, discretion and purity, and
on the other, submission to the author
ity of the bishops and hierarchic devO-
ton. That is elementary.
One would have to be beTeft of all
common sense before contenCing that
democratic conduct on the part of the
clergy would imply a diminutiOn of
hierarchic discipline and authority.
The democratic abbes in France are
priests who have taken their doctrines
and their energy from the love of God
and of their fellow men. They are the
Jealous. servants of eternal causes, and
that is the reason why they have en-
braced democracy which is bound to
become the lever of immense religious
influences Here and there there may
be differences that may lead to deser-
tions, arising out Of personal questions.
but they will be exceptions. The priests
have constantly declared that they
were the most devoted servants Of
episcopal authority. They are Romans.
and that is saying enough. We have
witnessed the refractory during the
past three years insulting the Ameri-
can bishops in connection with the
Life of Father Hecker" We never
called down the thunders Of Rome upon
those Jacobite Catholicss- but the
slightest difference between a demo-
cratic priest and his bishop is sufficient
for all the adversaries of the POnti1cial
directions to call for ecclesiastical cen
sure of the poor priest. And generally
all such disagreements are the result
either of misunderstanding or of per-
secution of those Catholics who are
strictly and absolutely faithful to
Rome.
The third among the leading themes
of the encyclical has a general, perma-
nent and historical reach. ] mean the
education of the clergy. Tradition and
progress. classical culture the renewal
of methods. the development of perma-
nent elements, and adaptation to mod
ern necessities-in all these matters
Leo XIII has marked the exact move
ment of ideas and things. There is also
complete sanction of the efforts of the
clerical elite in France in favor of the
Remuneration of our methods Of eGuca-
ton. In many seminaries in France
the SyHteIH vi lI6 seventeenth CSHtuiS
introduced by Cardinal BerulIe. Pere
Ones and Saint Vincent de Paul, is
pio1sly preserved with jealous care.
Perfect at that period. it is now insult
ficient Leo XIII recommends progress
and adaptation to modern conditions.
That is something which is bound to
last, and which will have most salu-
tary effect upon the church of France

CHURCH AS BARRACKS.

/ regarding the military use of church
/ property IN the Philippines;
Referring TO your cablegram of Sept.
! is sixteen churches in different locali-
! ties have been occupied by United
! States troops. -Four were only par

were formerly occupied b. insurgents.
Church property respected and pro-

to one sent to him at the direction of
the president after the protest Of the
Metropolitan Truth society.
Photographs and soldiers letters

ton that church property is respected
and protected by our troops General
Otis dispatches from Manila are dis
credited. The assertion that the SOL
dlerS can have respect for ANYTHING
pertaining to people they despise is
ridiculous in itself. and needs 10 elab-
crate reputation. We all know that the

a man have for Filipino church who
regards the Filipino as a savage = nd a
Niger" The fact that the church is
a Catholic church never impresses the
nOn-Catholic soldier; he thinks of it
as a Filipino church, and acts accord
ingly. General Otis very ~ eral and
curt disclaimer won't do.
Rev. Joseph Stephan, the venerable
head of the Catholic Indian bureau,
said
Il cannot understand why there is a
seeming disposition to narrow the
inquiry to the mere occupation of
churches. No one objects to this We
object to the outrages established
rhty are specific, and the occupation nj
churches in proper military way has
nothing TO do with this. What has
been demanded is the investigation Of
certain lax disciplinary methodist
