The financial position of the papacy
after the loss, in 1870, of the temporal
dominions of the church, is a question
with which many outsiders have Crap
pied, but which no one can'answer with
any degree of accuracy. There are no
estimates discussed and no financial
statements made in the vatican; the
pope is his own chancellor of the eX-
chequer; he furnishes the necessary
funds for the administration of the
Holy See, and money matters are set
tied by him with his accountants under
a triple seal of secrecy.
Still, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune, during the last 30 years of
papal seclusion in the apostolic palace
many data have leaked out on which
an approximate estimate can be
formed, if not of the income, certainly
of the expenditure of the Holy See.
When Rome became the capital of
Italy the new government did not in
terfere with the benefces of the see
ular clergy and though friaries and
nunneries have been suppressed, their
inmates have been provided for from
a special government fund. Since then
other congregations have cropped up
under foreign auspices to such an ex-
tent that the religious orders in Rome,
including the wealthy Jesuits, are said
to own property to the amount of
912,OOO,0OO sterling. Consequently
the lower clergy, far from proving a
drain on the papal treasury, help ma
terially to its replenishment.
The cardinals are mostly archbish-
ops, and draw their revenue from their
sees. Only some 25 eminences are

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
John L. Adams, n Montana Miner, De-
scribes How 1t Feels to Be
"Blown Up"

"How 1t Feels to Be Blown Up" in
a steamboat explosion made a repu-
tation for an American humorist
many years ago, but how it feels to
be blown up by a charge of dynamite
is something almost always guessed
at by the coroner rather than related
by the victim.
But John L. Adams, a Montana
miner, knows all the sensations that
follow the upheaval of that giant ex-
plosive, and according to his testi-
mony it doesn't feel nearly so bad
as jumping toothache.
Several months ago Mr.. Adams was
a drill man in the New Year mine in
Fergus county, Mont, - miles from
Lewiston. Joe Macy was working
with him, but while Adams was sink
ing the drill in the rock Macy went
up to the slope about six feet above
the drill hole. Below him, Adams
was keeping up the measured "chank,
chank," of the drill, when, without a
moments warning, the solid ore I'M
der his feet lifted and a conclusion
which seemed to shake the founda-
tons of the world beloved through
the mine, echoing and dying away in
the drifts, shafts and tunnels.
Il knew what had happened" said
Mr.. Adams, telling the story. Even
before the conclusion came, I real
lied that somebody in putting down
explosives for previous blast had
neglected to see if all had exploded.
My drill had cut through the rock
into this pocket of dynamite and set
it off.
Right there is problem in men

each of which was attended with loss
of life, it was ascertained that the re-
sponsible persons had been using
spirits just before the accident. In
two instances the responsible persons
lost their lives. This was not men
toned by the press, but was known
to the officers of the roads, and the
necessity of total abstainers was en-
phasized more clearly than ever. In
these cases it was the paralyzing ac-

confused the trainmen, and ended in
an accident.-Journal of Inebrietv.

non was put to the test. On the
night of May the little vessel lay
in quiet cove of one of the most
unsavory islands in the group, but
from the time of anchoring, all
through the night and into the next
forenoon, not a native had been seen.
The prospects were for fair weather,
and the captain having a small cargo
of goods for another island, Is miles
away, decided to take a ships boat,
with the mate and three sailors, and
deliver the goods in that way.
Mann, having experience of the ma
tives, advised against it, but the cap
tain went at three o'clock in the aft
ernoon, leaving Mann with two sail
ors in charge of the vessel. Sum
down was approaching before the
men on the vessel saw anything to
alarm them. Then scurrying forms
were seen in the tropical fringe of
the island, and soon afterward a
dozen canoes, filled with naked,
tie ship.
Entrenched behind bales and boxes,
with a companionway behind leading
below to the traderoom, the three
men waited, looking vainly for the
captains boat. At sunrise the saw
ages charged again from all sides of
the vessel. When the guns of the
crew were emptied the defenders
took refuge in the traderoom, reload
ing weapons as they could. but all
most instantly the ship was boarded
and a dozen savages were tearing
away at the bulwark at the head of
the companionway.
Suddenly two spears pierced each
of Mann's companions, and as they
fell they dragged him down with
them. Two boards in the forward
bulkhead were loose, and Mann, Slip
ping these aside, retreated to the
hold, replacing the boards and climb
ing through manhole into a tank
of fresh water, in which, far back,
he stood in water chin deep.
Until night he stood there, while
the savages Toasted upon the bodies
of his companions and burst barrels
and bales of plumber. When they
had retired to the shore that night
he got food from locker, returning
again to his tank of water at day.
light.
With the ship stripped of almost
everything, British man-of-war,
summoned by the captains party,
cleared the decks of savages on the
morning of the third day, and Mann.

An Absurd Critic

The temperance cause has received a
strengthening through the absurd
charges of a DR.. Reid in the London
Lancet. The doctor declares that mat
ural law should solve the question of
alcoholism" that wherever prohibi-
ton prevails inebriety grows, and ad-
duces statistics which were evidently
framed to suit his assertions. He
cies London as an example of sobriety.
declaring that there are only seven
drunkards to the 1000, while in Maine
there are AZ! These figures are too
preposterous for repetition, did they
not show the utter and willful igno-
rance that abounds concerning the
evils of drink. While we doubt if any,
one ever counted the number of drunk
ards in any city, London's notorious
drink habits and Names abstemious-
ness are both too well known and too
generally accepted for controversy.
We have nothing to fear from such
critics as DR.. Reid.-Union Signal.

with the explosion l seemed to
hear only a portion of it's volume of

thing rose around me. l felt, with a
strange sense of calmness that l had

blown off and was lying some dis
lance from my body. l had no SEN
sation of pain. There was a feeling
of lightness, as if [ were in the spir-

headless trunk lying still and dead.
'The explosion had put out Joe
Macy's light in the slope above, but
as soon as he could scratch a match

face, with my right arm cramped I'M

to give the alarm. Macy had scarce

waking from a sound sleep. Not
till l was on my feet did | fully re-
call what had happened, and when

toward the mouth of the main shaft,
splitting out teeth at every step.
Then the pain, sharp and terrible
began to come over me. But l kept
on running, soaring Macy and half
a dozen rescuers out of their wits.
"My right hand and arm were bad
ly mutilated and the little finger was
curled up in the palm, cut half off.

my dreams, and l would cry out in my
sleep. AS often as he fell l rescued him
from horrid drink dens. At last | met
him when his eyes showed that he was
3hen in one of his sprees. He grasped
my hand and assured me he had just
pledged himself, under oath, before a
magistrate, never to drink again. I
held his proffered hand and, lovingly
looking him in the face, said to him:
'John, it's of no use for you to sign
pledges, or join societies. You will
come to Christ, or drunkard's grave
will be the door of hell to your poor
soul" He had a wild revel that night,
but those words kept ringing in his
ears, and he accepted refuge on the
Rock from which no temptation can
move him.
Another case was sea captain, whom
I found at meeting for sailors in Bos-
ton. He rose with others for prayer.
and at the close of the hour I singled
him out for converse ton, but he was
so drunk it seemed of no use to speak to
him. I therefore wrote the warning
on a card, verbally made in the other
case, and put it in his pocket where
he found it when he was sober That
arrow, too, went home and he became
noted for efficiency in Christian work
among seamen.

Prince Was

A story is being told in London
clubs about King Edward. A discus
sion once arose among a circle of his
intimate friends as to how they
would each meet a sudden reverse of
fortune. One of them turned to the
prince-it was before his accession
and said IF the monarchy was over
thrown here, sir, what would you
do?" The prince of Wales thought
for a moment, and then replied:

A DOubIe IniHrY

when considerable quantities of
beer and wine are taken frequently,
it is not merely the alcohol in these
beverages that is injurious, but also
the temporary overfilling of the
blood vessels, because that entire
stream of fluids is obliged to pass
through the blood. All of that SUI
perfiuity has to be equalized by
means of increased action of the
heart. Now, it is true that sound
heart is furnished with considerable
reserve force that enables it to re-
spond to great demands on excep-
tional occasions; but there is no
doubt that those who persist in MAX
ing demands of that sort diminish
considerably their capital in heart
power. The consequences of such
real overburdening of the blood ves-
sells become especially manifest at
middle age in the form of a weak
heart, a condition we might term
strike on the part of the exploited
heart. IF. Won -Hirschfield, M.

The Arab and His Horse

When an Arabian horse finds itself
wounded, and perceives that i. will not
be able to bear its rider much longer.
it quickly retires from the conflict,
carrying its mGster to place of safety
while it has sufficient strength. But
if the rider is wounded and falls to
the ground, the faithful animal re-
mains beside him, unmindful of dam
ger, neighing until assistance is
brought.

HELD in BAIL
FOR SERIOUS CRIME.
Frank Ballinger is Alleged to
Have Attacked Young Girl
and Was Most Objectionable.

If the allegation made against young
Frank Ballenger is true, that young
man is in serious trouble. 1t is
charged against him that last Friday
night he attacked a young girl, some
where about fifteen years old, named
Marks. He embraced her as she was
walking along the street, and used
very offensive language to her. That
is her story, and when the complaint
was sworn to the Mayor issued war
rant and Ballenger was arrested.
Monday he was given a hearing
and in consequece of the evidence es-
tablished the Mayor held Ballenger
for the next term of Court. The
young man was able to furnish bail
and is now at liberty.
