Takes a Husband
900 Years Old.

DETROIT. Mich, Jan. Z. Mrs.
Sarah Williams, a hotel housekeeper,
was married last night to the spirit
of Theodore Comstock. The wedding
took place at the home OF Mrs. Mollie
Ladell. a medium who keeps spirits
and borders at No. 119 East Congress
street, in the presence of score of
spectators. all but two of whom were
avowed spiritualists.
Mrs Williams Is good looking,
widow, and has known Theodore only
a few weeks. He was a persistent
wooer and persuaded her that what
she needed was a spirit husband,
Mrs. Ladel conducted the ceremony
announced the presence Of the BRIDE
groom and then proceeded to as
SEN BILE" the contracting parties.
Mr.. Maginness. mr.. Wilson. Mr..
Cronk and the mother of the bride
we're among the other spirits to con-
gratulate Mrs. Williams through the
medium of Mrs. Ladell. who went
from one trance into another with a
rapidity that was astonishing.
Theodore came near being frozen
out in the flow of ora,ory that fol-
lowed the ceremony. but finally rem
iered neat little speech in which he
made promises with all the facility of
a flesh and blood benedict. AS Theo
dore finished Mrs. Ladell introduced
the bride. who said:
This is the happiest as well as
he most impressive moment of my
ife. consider it the greatest priv
.lege ever bestowed upon me since
nave been in mortal flesh. and
mean to do my duty as the spirits di
'ect me, Mr.. Comstock. / salute you,
And to you. my friends who have as
sembled here. | thank you for your
kind attention."
A wedding supper followed. The
bride herself cut the cake, her emo
ton falling In tears on the frosting.
II am SO happy and prouder of
having married my spirit control than
would DE had married the grand
est and nobiest man at ever stepped
in shoe leather" said the bride this
morning. Theodore Is a nice spirit.
He's been in the spirit world for
about 500 years now. He was chem
ist and an Englishman. 1t was In
England that he passed on"

brose against the Caesars, the mon
asteries against the bishops. the free
cities against the feudal lords. and
so on. There has been much confu-
sion. but the general Issue has been
plain. The empire conceives Of the
great common law as external to the
soul--a sheer inexplicable necessity.
The church conceives of the law as In
ternal and congenial to humanity--a
rule of reasonableness. There Is no
way of compounding the difference.
The church idea has very ancient
lineage, 1t has been implied for many
ages; it found articulate speech in
the person of Jesus, but 1t did not
rise, in clear consciousness, to the
the fourth century of this era.
1t was in the fourth century that
the issue was fairly drawn between
catholicism and Imperialism. Then it
was that, for the first time, men
clearly conceived the idea OF world
order-a common law-which should
depend for its enforcement. not upon
the obedience of the people to an alb
solute and unreasoning authority, but
upon their general agreement in tree
dom and equality. This was the date
of the birth of modern democracy as
distinguished from the ancient thing
which bears the same name, but which
never gained a footing on solid
ground. For modern democracy is, In
its philosophy, precisely the same
thing as catholicism. It's essential
idea is the essential church-idea. The
principle of government of the people.
by the people and for the people can
never be realized otherwise than by
the establishment of democratic
catholic church.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
BY CHARLES FERGUSON.

The church is the antagonist of the
empire. The opposite of imperialism
is catholicism. The history of The
world is the struggle between these
two irreconcilablc ideals.
The world must be put in order, The
whole world-thc land and the sea.
from pole to pole, so far as men are
concerned with it-~must be compass
ed by some principle of unity.
The nature of the human mind de-
mands that all mankind shall ac-
knowledge common law. THIS axiom
lies in the background of every man s
thinking. 1t is unescapable The
sanity of the intellect requires The
unity of the world.
Every social movement in history
has been actuated either by the ilea
of the empire or by that of the church
OF course it is necessary to look below
the surface of things we must not be
deceived Dy names. OFTEN the thing
called the empire has been more
/ catholic than the church. and what
was called the church more imperial
istic than the empire History is full
of curious confusions of masks and
names.

THE OVERLOOKING TREASURY.

When Mr.. Shaw succeeds Mr.. Gage
as Secretary of the Treasury he VIII
have no immediate anXieties concern
ing the condition of Government
finances. We learn from the Los
Angeles Times that on the first day
of ais year the available cash
balance wasSl74 900 900. which figures
are exclusive of the $l50,OO0,0OO gold
reserve Nor do they take into account
S7l 600 900 in gold coin and bullion and
S43 OOO, 900 in gold certificates, these
last two items being available as cash.
Therefore. altogether the Treasury
books on Thursday showed a store or
gold aggregating $264, 100000, which,
added to the $317 900. 900 in gold coin
pledged to the redemption of out
standing certificates. makes a grand
total of gold in tAe Treasury of s5Sl.-
O00. 900.
Yet with the Federal Golfers figura-
lively bursting with wealth there ale
men in Congress who regard the con-
tinuance of the war revenue tax as
measure of prudence. If not an actual
necessity 1t is true the burden upon
the peoples shoulders is not as great
as it was year ago, but such an argu-
ment is utter nonsense unless it be
coupled with the promise that within
another year the entire tax Will nave
been wiped out. The war tax long age
passed from a stage of benefit into one
of absolute danger. An overfiowing
national Treasury is very like an over
fed individual. and an unhealthy con
dition is sure to be developed by 1t.
By more than half a billion in gold
in the Government hoard those mem
bers OF Congress who c.lng to the high
protection idea are presented with
lesson which they should heed. Exorbi-
tant tariff rates, which have taken
from the people of this country rights
which are legitimately theirs, have
been largely instrumental in creating
the present condition. and II is now
time that the great blessings of
"benovelence" which nave been be-
slowed upon inhabitants of foreign
climes, civilized and semi-civilized be
extended to the people to whom the
Government looks when patriotism
is the watcnwor6. If American manu-
facturers can sell their goods abroad
for less than they demand at home
and still make profit. the time is ripe
for such benevolent legislation as
will crush such discrimination.
Judging from present Indications
the present Congress intends to dip
deeply into the sea of stagnant gold
for such projects as the Isthmian
Canal, the Pacific cable and the ship
subsidy will be on gigantic scale AMI
involve a heavy outlay; but in tho
case of the canal and the cable thu
expense is to be so distributed through
a number of years that the tax on any
single year will be comparatively
light. the ship subsidy, however. will
be a pig perpetually at the cri3
with capacity for deVouring increa'-
ing with each successive year.
1t has been suggested that the sur
plus he devoted to reducing the
public debt but it is quite likely that
if Secretary Shaw should decide on
more bond purchases he would tnd
few holders eager to sell at lne current
market prices, Therefore, the solution
is more clearly in the hands of Con-
gress than in Mr.. Shaw s. and the key
lies entirely in scaling down Of the
high protective tariff

d'Affaires all protested with the ut
most emphasis. and with no little In
dignatlon, against the misrepresenta-
tions involved in that attempt to pose
England as our sole friend, and'
simultaneously, as the great over
shadowing power before which the
continental conspirators retired IN
baffled fury. There could be no doubt
in view Of their positive and specific
statements, that the English story was
an impudent fabrication from begin
ming to end.
Quite recently, however, an authori-
ative announcement has been made In
the premises, and by no less person
than NJ. Hanotaux, who was minister
Of foreign affairs for France at the
time of the alleged continental COM
binatlon against us. NJ. Hanotaux says
that the overture came from the
Vienna governmental government al
WAYS unfriendly to and lgnorantiy
eontemptuous of the United States. 1t
must he admitted though, that THIS
enterprise was natural enough. The
Queen Regent of Spain, Cnristina' Is
an Austrian archduchess, and EH-
peror Francis Joseph would have oeeh
less than the gracious gentleman he IS
had he hestiated to interpose III her
behalf According to NJ. HanotanX.
France replied to Austria's Suggestion
by saying that, If all the other grell
European powers agreed to intervene
she would not isolate herself from the
concert When it came to Russia how
ever. Count Mouraveff the Car
minister of foreign affairs. tiatly tod
the Spanish Ambassador that under
no circumstances would Russia take
anv part in the quarrel, save one OF
absolute neutrality. That settled 1t. oi
course. But M. Hanotaux goes further
and declares that Englands reply to
Austria's proposal was ideptical with
that of France. l. G., lAat II all the
other powers decided upon inter-
ference she would not isolate herself,
etc. NJ. Hanotaux. therefore, plainly
invites us to infer that but for Rus
sia's prompt and emphatic declaration
the intervention sought by Austria
would have been realized.
Here is a plain. deliberate. and ok
plicit assertion, emanating from one
of the most eminent public men In
Europe-a gentleman who was french
minister of foreign affairs in 1898, amt.
therefore, SPEAKS with authority Op-
posed to it we have only the anony-
nous and irresponsible testimony OF

sary for their positions.

Pritchard and Watkins will most like
Iy hold the half back positions. They
are good line buckers. and have plenty
of speed for end runs. The Varsity
loses a crack end in st. John. who has
recently left college. Rrant and Wall will
attend to the ends. They are hard tack
lers, and are fast In getting down the
field on punts. Harris, last years full
back, is in his old position. He is log
and low punter. His chief difficulty is
his lack of speed. and his tendency to fall
behind in the interference. He has shown
himself to be good player, however.
and there is little doubt among the
coaches that he will measure up to the
requirements in the approa ching game
with Carolina, when every man on the
team will have to do his full duty.
Every effort has been made by Coach
De Saulles TO put the team through sys-
tenatic training and field practice. The
grounds are equipped WIN the improved
dummy" tackling apparatus, and all
modern facilities are at hand to supply
the needs of the team.

told substantially thus:
DR.. Hutchinson was summoned to Buck

and after short time warm friend
slip for him was manifested hy his royal
patient. SO great was the insrrrs! she
evinced in the young man and mis- wife
