From Deaths Door.

Hillsdale, Ill. April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
In dying condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless one,
and others from Port Byron, Geneseo,
and Davenport, Ia, had attended him,
and in q consultation decided that he
could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. l.. +. Giles, a local druggist, rs
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results We're marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to be
up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neighbor-
hood, and is considered nothing short
of a miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that this
new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will
cure any case of Kidney Disease, for
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Dropsy
yield readily to its remarkable influ-
ence. These forms of Chronic Kidney
Disease have hitherto been considered
incurablc, and have baffled all medical
skill, and yet, this new remedy has
cured every single case in which 1t has
been used, in this neighborhood. The
doctors themselves are amazed at the
wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills
are accomplishing in Rock Island
County.

apostolic Delegation at Washington Do.
MES Report About Leo.
Washington May 9.-Prominent
churchmen here are astonished that
any credence has been given the Lon
don cablegram declaring that the pope
has nominated his own successor. 1t Is
stated by the officials Of the apostolic
delegation that such thing is prepos-
ferrous Enthusiastically 1t Is held that
divine law makes 1t Impossible for a
pope to name who shall succeed him.
The election Is in the hands of the
cardinals.
If such a catastrophe were possible
that all the cardinals should be dead
when pope dies, the canons Of ST.
John Lateran, known as the mistress
and mother of all the churches Of the
world" would have a right to call an
election, inviting patriarchs and other
high prelates to take part. but under
no circumstances is there a provision
for pope to nominate his successor.
No surprise Is expressed at the state
ment that Cardinal Rampolla is the
leading candidate for the papacy. II
is believed here that he is Leo's choice,
and that all that can be done to assist
his aspirations is now being accom-
plished by the aged pontif. All the
twelve new cardinals are admittedly
supporters of Rampolla's policy. and
will vote for him when the conclave is
called, but 1t is denied most emphati-
laws of the church and openly name
his present secretary Of state.
No definite news of Rampolla's resig-
nation of the portfolio of state hae
reached the delegation. The story
however. Is not credited

VIGOROUS PROTEST MADE.
Philippine School Plan Objected to /
Many Protestants.

Many Protestants.
Washington. May 9.-The school law
adopted by the Philippine commission
has revived some of the spirit Of the
A. p. A.. in the northwest, and the de-
partment Is receiving hundreds of let
tiers protesting against the adoption Of
the Faribault plan in the Philippines
by official act OF the government. The
part of the law complained against is
that providing that no teacher in the
public schools Of the Philippines shall
teach or criticise the doctrines of any
church. sect, or denomination, but that
1t shall be lawful for the priest of min
lister of any church In the pueblo where
where a public school is situated to
teach religion for half an hour three
times a week in the school building tc
those pupils whose parents or guard
fans desire 1t.
This provision is denounced as an at
tempt to have the United States gov
eminent officially indorce the Faribault
plan suggested by Archbishop ireland
and adopted by the local school board
of Faribault, Mimi, about ten years
ago. That was plan i. have religious
allow the parents of the pupils to de-
eide what should be the denomination
of the teachers. 1t was vigorously de-
nounced by the Protestants as an eff
fort to place Catholic priests in the
public schools and step toward grant
ing public funds to Catholic parochia.
schools.
The same objections are urged
against the school law adopted by the
Philippines commission. Presbyterians,
Baptists and Methodist associations
have filed formal protests against the
law with the war department, ard
hundreds of letters have been received
from Protestant ministers and others
who have been watching with suspic-
ion every act of the government recog-
nizing the rights of the Roman Cath
olic church in the Philippines.
Some of these letters are vigorous in
denunciation of the plan and SO num-
erous have become these protests that
the subject will be taken up for careful
consideration by the cabinet before the
educational system in the Philippines
is generally established.
