WAS AN ERROR.
Denial of Report That Recent PnpnI
Decree Affects Question of
Mixed Marriages.

St. Louis, Dec. 2s.-Archbishop Kahn
has received a communication from
Mgr. Martinelli, the apostolic delegate
at Washington, saying that the recent
decree issued from Rome regarding
indulgences and other favors from the
pope does not in any way abridge the
faculties heretofore held by bishops
and archbishops of issuing dispensa-
tions for mixed marriages. The mes
sage from Mgr. Martinelli was in reply
to a request from the archbishop for a
ruling on the matter. Archbishop Cor
rigan, of the New York diocese. last
week sent a circular to his clergymen,
which gave rise to the report that no
dispensations could be obtained during
the jubilee year, except directly from
the vatican. The statement of the apos-
tolic delegate effectually settles this
question.

In the light of the newly announced

In the light of the newly announced
sand cure it seems probable that if the
Digger Indians of the far west could be
persuaded to abandon their clay diet
and eat sand instead they would find it
much more wholesome. Clay is merely
filling. 1t cannot assist in the process
of digestion and assimilation. Sand, on
the contrary, would be of the greatest
service in assisting these misguided In
dams in digesting the owls, rattle
snakes and dry roots with which they
are compelled to vary their bills of fare,
and life in their humble caves would be-
come worth living.
