FORBIDDEN TO CATHOLICS.
A Book by Pope Leo on the Index
ENpurgatorius.

That Pope's book should be found on
the list of books which Catholics are for
hidden by their church to have hold or
read, otherwise on the Index Expurgato-
RUS, would seem to the layman to be
extraordinary enough. and the fact that
the present Pontif should have been the
condemned author only serves to empha-
size the mystery.
In 1874, when Leo XIII was Joachim
Pecci, Cardinal Archbishop of Perugia, he
wrote book, the translated title OF
which reads: "On the Most Sacred Blood
of Mary. Essay Showing Why We Should
Have Festival for the Same" The Con-
gregation OF the Index took exception to
one Of the arguments put forward by the
erudite author, and accordingly condemn
ed HIS book, the author and title OF his
work being put upon the Index Expurga-
torius in 1875. They thus continued in
successive editions until 1873. but always
with he affix "Laudabilitcr sc subject ct
opus reprobavit,' which means He lauda-
bly, submitted and retracted his work.
This is the phrase used by the Congrega-
tion TO tell that a disciplined author has
bowed 10 the superior authority of the
church
In 1878 Cardinal Pecci was elected Pope
in succession to Pho Mono, and since then
the authors name, but not the title of his
concession was made to avoid giving scan
dal to non-Catholics rather than to shield
the learned and iliGstrious author. As a
matter OF fact. Pope Leo XIII might, had
he wished. have dropped all record from
the Index. and so re-established the work
In theological favor, but he had volun-
tarily recanted, and he chose TO hold by
his recantation. In this connection it is
as well to bear in mind that the decisions
Of the Congregation of the Index are not
held TO be infallible.-London Express.

CORONER VIEWS THE REMAINS
Bodies Removed to Morguc, Where One
Is Recognized by Friends, While the
Other is Still Unknown-Not Known
How Deaths Were Caused.

Tho muddy waters of the James Greek
Canal yesterday gave up two victims. one
the body of an unidentified man, who,
from his general appearance, had sought
rest in the dirty waters of that stream
but few days ago. The other was identi-
fed as that of Michael Deenahan, thirty
eight years OF age, living at II Myrtle
Street northeast. The unidentified body
was found at the intersection of N Street
and the canal. while the remains Of Deem
ahan were found block away. lying in
the mud near the n Street bridge, only
two hours later.
Deenahan's remains were in a horrible
condition. The body had evidently been
In the water for some time. His friends
identified the body upon its arrival at
the omrgue. Deenahan had been employed
at the Pennsylvania roundhouse, located
but q short distance away from the canal

of the remains this morning after Coro-

DkZZlED MERCHANTS.
Imaginary Millionaire Set vineland in a
Flutter.

VINELAND, N J., April 23.-During the
past few days vineland tradesmen have
been doing a rushing business with a
young stranger, who said he was Prof"
Ralph Chester. teacher of music, and
that he was about TO be married, and
wanted to furnish home for the most
beautiful girl in all the world He or
dered merchandise and jewelry by the
thousand dollars worth and kept clerks
on the jump at a number of stores. He
intended, too, TO give a great concert, at
which the people would be treated to free
beer. He was a millionaire, was he, and
he did not stop at any price when he gave
his orders.
The peculiar actions OF the young man
led to his arrest, for he had endeavored
TO obtain some OF his great wealth from
one of the banks. Then II was found that
Chester is the son of a farmer living near
the town, and he will be examined as TO
his mental responsibility. II is said that
he was unfortunate in love recently, and
that he has been acting strangely ever
since.

CONNIE MACK HAPPY
IN SPlTE0F DECISION
Says Ruling in Lajoie Case Applies Only
to 1901 Season.

to 1901 Season.
PHILADELPHIA. April %. - Connie
Mack. manager of the Philadelphia Ameri-
can League Baseball Club. was in excel
lent humor this morning just before TAX
ing the 1926 train for Baltimore. where
his team opens the American League sea-
son with the Orioles.
Things do not look so bad" he said,
"as they did at first, and you can say that
we will play Lajoie in Baltimore today,
also in every other city where we are
scheduled. and in this city when we open
here on May -
Mack then added that the decision as
handed down from the supreme court of
Pennsylvania applied only to Lajoie and
that there is no possible chance of it af-
fccting any of the other players. and that
to affect the great second baseman pro-
ceedings would have to be begun all over
again by the National League magnates.
The American League, according to Con-
ME Mack. bases its apparent defiance of
the supreme courts mandate upon the
alleged fact that the Lajoie ruling applies
only to the year 1901. Colonel Rogers,
however, contends that The reserve clause
covers not only 1901. but the following
year as we'll.
Further litigation as to this vital point
is apparently inevitable.

THE DEATH OF DOODICA.
Pathetic Scene by the Bedside of the
Hindoo Twins.

In the Record of Tuesday, February
25, appeared an illustrated article describ-
ing the manner in which the Hindoo twin
sisters. Radica and Doodica, were separ-
ated h. the celebrated DR.. Doyen, OF
Paris. This was the first detailed de-
scription OF the operation TO appear in our
American newspapers, and, though IL was
known at the time that one of the two lit
tie creatures had died, the pathetic de-
tails of her death had not yet reached this
country. II appears that DR.. Doyen.
though he ostensibly performed the opera
ton to save the life of Doodica, in reality
used the knife 20 save the life of Radica.
Doodica was so far gone in consumption
that he had no hope of her recovery, or
of her being able to withstand the shock
of the separation tor more than few
days.

ing Policemen LestCrn and Johnson, OF
the Fourth precinct, while patrolling
their beat in the vicinity of the canal, dis
covered the body Of the unidentified man
sunk in the mud. only the head being wish
bic. They threw a rope around the mans
neck and dragged the body to the shore.
Coroner hewitt was notified and at
o'clock Morguemaster Schonenberger went

100 pounds. and almost six feet in height.
His face was square. with a gray nous

finest material were in excellent con-
dillon. and from general appearances he
was a man of the ordinary walk OF life.
Police Photographer johnson went 10
the morrue and made a number of pic-
lures of the remains.
The remains we're in excellent condition
when recovered and showed that the body
could rot have been in the water any
great length CT time. The mans head was
gashed, but the wound. it Is thought, was
inflicted By the body coming into contact
with floating driftwood.
Captain Boardman has detailed a nums
Der OF detectives to try to Identify the
remains.
The finding OF the two bodies in the no.
torious canal caused considerable COM
ment among police officials yesterday

"OLD GLORY"
A MASSACHUSETTS Skipper Credited With
Bestowal of the Name.

The flag, the Stars and Stripes, was
named "0ld Glory" in 1851 by a Salem
| tMass) skippe- named William Driver.
He was at that time captain Of the brig
Charles Doggett. -
Captain Driver was a successful deep
sea sailor, and at TIE time of bestowlng
the name "Old Glory on the Stars and
Stripes he was preparing to shape the
briggs course to the Southern Pacific. The
story is told by the compiler of the
genealogical memoir of the Driver family,
Harriet Ruth (Waters) Cooke.
Just before the brig left Salem a young
man at the head of n party Of friends
saluted Captain Driver on the deck of
the Doggett. and presented him with a
large and beautifully-Dade American flag.
1t was done up in stops, and when sent
aloft and broke out to the air Captain
Driver christened it "Old Glory"
He took it to the South Pacific. and
years after, when old age forced him to
relinquish the sea, he treasured the flag
as an old friend.
Capt. William Driver removed to Nash
Vile. Tenn. in 1887. and he died there in
1856 Previous to the outbreak of hos
tilities between the North and the South

day from the window of Captain Drivers
Nashville house. but when the bullets be-
gan 10 zip and the odor OF sunpowder to

creted
1t was kept out of sight inside great
bed comfortably until February a. 1862.
when Brigadier General Nelson's wing of
the Union army appeared in Nashville,
when Captain Driver presented it to the
general TO be hoisted on the Capitol. 1t
was run up. and Captain Driver himself
did the hosting. He watched IL through
the night, and heavy wind coming up.
he took it down and sent new flag up
in its place.
The original "old Glory" was begin
ming to ribbon. The second flag owned by
Captain Driver was given to the Ohio
Sixth when that regiment left Nashville
for home. 1t was placed in the rear of
a baggage wagon. where a mule nosed it
out and devoured 1t.
The original "Old Glory was pre-
served, and after the death of Captain
Driver. in 1856, it was presented by the
compiler of the Driver memoir to the Es
sex Institute. at Salem, Mass. where it
may now be seen.-Boston Globe.

A VANDERBILT STUNNED
BY FALL FROM A COACH
Pitched Heavily to the Pavement as the
Horses Swerve to One Side.


NEW YORK. April 2S.-Thrown rom the
whips seat of the coach Pioneer by the
unexpected swerving of the horses. Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt yesterday fell heavily
TO the pavement striking upon his back
in such manner as to render him for
time unconscious. His companions. though
AT first much alarmed. were speedily re-
assured when the young man recovered,
and, refusing the aid of a surgeon. de-
clared ne was absolutely without injury.
He pluckily took up the ribbons and com
pleted the trip to Ardsley and return on
schedule time.
II was not long after the start that the
accident occurred. The trip up through
Harlem had been without incident until
just before the coach reached l3Sth Street.
Seventh Avenue was crowded with pleas
urc vehicles. and the horses driven by Mr..
Vanderbilt seemed to be so filed with
mettle that they were held under full
check with some difficulty. Suddenly the
wheeleTs SHE'D at just the moment TO
catch Mr.. Vanderbilt off his guard, and
he was thrown off the box.
As the Pioneer drew away at the start
there were on the coach as guests MIR. and
Mrs. George Gould, Mrs. Orme Wilson,
Mrs. Livingston, Miss Alice Babcock.
James Henry Smith. Sydney Smith. and
Charles Mum. Mr.. Vanderbilt fooled, as
he has done on most of the recent trips
of the Pioneer.
Just above 125th Street the horses were
slowed down for the customary change at
10th Street. Mr.. Vanderbilt had turned
half around in his seat TO address re
mark to Mrs. Gould. when a large auto
mobile dashed by at high rate of speed.
The horses snorted and SHE'D SO suddenly
turning the coach at quick angle, that
Mr.. Vanderbilt was unable TO recover
himself
Realizing that he was falling he threw
the reins aside and made a desperate at
tempt to hold his seat. He failed and fell,
striking on the back of his head and
shoulders. The horses came to a halt ana
the men on the coach sprang to the as
sistance of Mr.. Vanderbilt. He was
stunned for a moment. A policeman who
had seen the accident sent in call for an
ambulance. one responding from the J.
Hood Wright Hospital.
Chairs and restoratives were obtained
from a ncar-by house. and before the ar
recovered. He refused all offers Of assist
ancc. and rejected the idea that the coach
should turn back. or that he should re-
linqtish the whip to another. Little more
time was lost than is the case when
change of horses is made. Mr.. Vanderbilt
assured his friends that he felt as well
as ever, and that the fall had not shaken
him up enough event TO give him head
ache. He was anxious to get away and to
avoid the crowd that quickly gathered. AS
the surgeon. after a quick examination,
gave the assurance that the young man
was right in asserting that he had not
been injured, Mr.. Nicoll gave the word
and the trip was resumed.
Scheduled to arrive at 6 o'clock on tho
return trip, the Pioneer was on time last
night to a minute. Mr.. Vanderbilt APP
peared to be in perfect health. He bore
not trace of the accident, which was
left unreported.
