THE VENEZUELAN MISS.

A New Yorker named Hamilton,
who married a niece of Venezuela's
great robber-dictator, Guzman Blanco,
got from the Venezuelan government
in 1888 a grant of the asphalt lakes in
a certain district. Hamilton knew
that he had a potential fortune, but
was unable to hold on until asphalt
should become recognized. He sold
out the Bermudez lakes to a company
which is now merged in the asphalt
trust. Today the lakes are valued at
$40, 900, 900, says the New York
World.
In 1897 certain Venezuelans got a
grant of an asphalt lake, La Felicidad
and sold it to what is known as the
Warner-Quinlan syndicate, of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. The asphalt trust claims
that La Felicidad is part of its con-
cession. The Warner uinlan syndi-
cate denies it. President Castro, Of
Venezuela. agrees with the Warner
Quinlan syndicate. Frank Loomis,
the United States minister to Venez-
uela, and close personal friend of
Garner, the asphalt trusts Venezue-

OPPosING RELIGIOUS ORDERS

The law of associations bill, which
recently passed the French chamber
of Deputies by a vote of 303 to 220, is
directed against those religious orders
in France which are composed mainly
of aliens or whose governing heads
reside in other countries. A cable
gram from Paris says that the meas
ure establishes an official boycott on
all church schools, including the
Jesuit college. by closing the civil
service, army, navy and all gov
eminent offices. from president TO
scru bwomen, to all except those
educated in national govern
ment supported schools. 1t confis-
Gates all the property of religious
orders, such as Jesuits, Franciscans
and Sisters of Charity. and makes
their existence impossible in future.
By an amendment adopted against
government protest the chamber pro-
vided that the courts shall decide
upon the right to the property taken
from these associations. The bill has
yet to pass the senate, but there is no
doubt it will become law. The
measure is an open defiance to the
Catholic church. and it is believed il
will result in the withdrawal of the
papal inhibition against priests taking
part in politics. especially as royalists
against the republic. But for the
amendment to which the government
objected the bill would be sweepingly
confscatory, since it would permit
the seizure and sale of property with
out due process of law. A full and
satisfactory statement of the reasons
which are held to Justify the bill
has yet to be made in the American
press. IL is to be assumed that un-
less the reasons were powerful and ur-
gent the measure would not have
passed the chamber by such decisive
majority. The proposed suppression
of the orders would indicate that they
have been active in opposing the re-
public and working for the restora-
ton of the monarchy or empire. Yet
this view would seem to be negatived
by the papal inhibition against priest
ly interference in politics. The occa-
sion and warrant for the bill need to be
explained.

Ian representative, agrees with the
asphalt trust. Both the trust and the
syndicate are controlled by consPicu-
Gus republican politicians. But the
trus, has as its president Gen. Fran
els V. Greene, whose standing with
the administration is indicated by the
fact that be was grand marshal OF the
inaugural parade on March last.
There are two bits of news from
Venezuela which must be coupled in
order that the fituation may be I'M
derstood. The first is the news that
Castro has just been elected to serve
the unexpired presidential term OF
Andrade-which means that the as
phalt trust will not get any faVors for
several years to come. The second is
the news that Minister Loomis is com
ing home to explain in person why
this government ought to make Cas-
tro sit up" which means that the as
phalt trust purposes at any cost, ever
at the cost of nasty row between the
United States and Venezuela. TO en-
force its claim to the $40, 900, 900 lake

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint IS seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes 50.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
