The WORK of expelling nuns from
France is still causing trouble. Eight
provincial mayors have been suspended
for refusing to execute the DEGREES
against religious societies. Gendarmes
in some cases find doors and gates bar
ricaded and force has to be used to gain
entrance to converts. Cries of 'DOwn
with the ministry" greet their ears
while they are engaged in such work.
At Godszec yesterday the gendarmes
were stoned by several thousand persons
who are opposed to the closing of the
converts 1t is thought that more seri-
Gus troubles will be the outcome of the
movement. France already has a
stormy history. Its annals are the most
sanguinary of modern times. The
country is always ready for excitement,
and another chapter may be added at
the beginning of the twentieth century

THE LATE JOHN L. MARYE.-The
death of Hon. John l.. Marye recalls
two interesting facts. First, his name
had been connected with Fredericksburg
longer than had any other name in the
towns history. James Marye, his great
ancestor, Episcopal, clergyman, preached
for Lodge No. 4, of Masons, of this place,
on st. John the Eyangelist's Day, De
eember p, 1856, at the Episcopal Church.
That has been nigh $50 years ago, and
the name has been preserved continuously
to this day. Second, Mr.. Marye was
more intimately connected with the
University of Virginia than any other
student of that institution, living or dead.
Mr.. Marye was astudentat the university
in 1910 and 1871. He was president OF
the Grand Society of Alumni of that
institution 1871 and 1872. He was
a visitor of the university from 1876 to
1882, and from 1886 to 1898 he was
rector. Thus he was connected with our
great university for II years of his and
its life, viz, two years as a student, two
years as president of the Society of
Alumni and 10 years as visitor and
rector. - Fredericksburg Star

Col. MosBY.-A special dispatch
from this city to the Lincoln Journal
states that the presence here of Col.
John S. Mosby has occasioned con-
siderable uneasiness among the stock
men of this section. There is no oc-
casion for uneasiness. Those who have
fences around government land were
long since appraised of the fact that those
fences must come down, and Col. Mosby
is here in accordance with the wishes OF
the interior department to see that the
law is complied with. His mode OF
procedure will be, as the Herald under
stands it, to notify parties who have
fenced in any part of the public domain
to remove said fencing within sixty days
after notification. The immediate cause
of Col. Mosby's presence in Alliance is
speech delivered at the cattlemen's
convention held in this city last Feb
ruary, by President S. ?. Delatour, in
which the statement was made that in
the Alliance and Sidney districts there
were over 1000, 900 acres of government
land under fence. But be that as it may,
there's nothing to be made by protest
ing against the inevitable and growing
about the hardships and Inconvenience
that will accrue. Uncle Sam says these
fences must come down, that settles it.

THE RACE for maritime supremacy
between the English and German-speak-

in his hand. He paid for his soap and
hired an eXpresSman to drive him

quantities. He paid the eXpressman

later years that Ycrkes acquired fame

Almost Immediately upon his entry into
the speculative arena there in 1872 Mr..
1erkes was remarkably successful, and.
like Midas, everything he touched
turned TO gold.
Mr.. lerkes is now fifty-five years of
age and is many times over a million
aire. He became financial power in
the interocean metropolis, but the sec
ond largest city on this continent did
not appear to be large enough for the
scope of his activities. Some years ago
he went to New York, where he built
on Fifth avenue one of the most mag
nificent residences in that row of mod
ern palaces of multmillionaires and
erected in Greenwood cemetery the
most massive tomb in America, where
will rest his ashes when his meteoric
career is ended.
In late years Mr.. Yerkes, with his
wife. has spent greater part of his
time in England and has from time to
time kept London guessing as to his
movements in the financial world until
now he becomes master of London's

The man who has beaten the great
No an at his own game-that of con

This man is Charles Tyson Ycrkes.
For some months there has been
waged in the Bi.usA metropolis gi

The contestants were two Americans
J. L. Morgan, the most famous. and G..

the world, each lcaains an army Of
lawyers, engineers and railroad and

The story of the contest is Il long
one, involving many shrcwd and far
reaching financial and political maneu
verS and iutrigueS, but the end came
at last. and the pow rlul ana hitherto
supposed unconquer;.ble king of Wall

his daring and resOurceful rival.
In all the world of finance there has
been no career more spectacular than
that of Yerkes He was born with Il tai
ent for speculation, and his ability was
only exceeded by his desire. 1t is said
that when he was only ten years old
lc wandered away from his fathers
middle class home in Philadelphia one
day and strolled down among the
docks. In an obscure cross street
sherin's sale was in progress. a little
soapmaker had failed in business and
was paying the penalty of his bad
