Springfield Ill, Dec. IA letter to
Governor Yates IIom Governor Stone
Of Pennsylvania regarding the loot
and mouth disease proclamation
reached the executive office yester-
DAY. 1t was given out to the press
by Governor Stone when it was mailed
to Governor Yates two days ago. he
garding the letter and the effect it
would have on the proclamation
issued by Governor Yates, Secretary
John Oglesby said:
Governor Stones letter does not
alter the conditions Of Governor
Yates proclamation. 1t is no doubt
true, as Governor Stone says, that
very few cattle are shipped into Hi
nois from Pennsylvania or from east

nation was to protect Illinois cattle
even against these few. If the SOW
errors reasoning is correct no such
harm cen result to his state as to
other states in the west where the
cattle industry is greatest.

why any proclamation should have
been issued it must not be forgotten
that he is the governor Of Pennsyl-

FRUSTRATED BY SERMON.
Several Women Suffer from Vivid
Portrayal.

Several Women Suffer from Vivio
Portrayal.
Naples, Dec. 13.-As a result Of the
realistic sermon of the torments OF
hell which the vicar of one of the poor
parishes of this city preached last
Sunday several women who were in
the congregation are still suffering
from acute attacks of nervous pros
tTatiOn.
Americans here say that the preach
er's discourse savored more of the re-
viyal methods of the middle states
half century ago than Of the most
radical teachings of old-fashioned
clergymen in the large cities of TODAY.
In order that his fiery language would
produce the most sensational effect.
the vicar instructed the sacristan and
several Of his friends how to add real
ism to the most effective periods.
The effect on the CONGREGATION ex-
ceeded all expectations. There was a
panic and in the stampede to get out
of the building several women we're
thrown down and severely injured
The incident has created considerable
indignation, and the vicar IS said to
have received curt adm0nitions from
his bishop to be less realistic in the
future.
