WAR ON OPPRESSORS.
Frenchwomen Implore Mme.
 Loubet to Aid.
WANT SCHOOL PERSECUTION STOPPED
Delegation Demands ''IlI Treatment of the Sisters" Cease = Stormy Scenes Outside Parfs-SchooA
 Turned Into a Fortress.

PARIS, July 26.--A strange scene, reminiscent of stormier, sadder days in France, occurred yesterday at the EIysee palace. A large delegation of women, including the wives of several members of the chamber of deputies, assembled at the palace to endeayor personally to implore Mime. Loubet to appeal to her husband the president, to stop the school prosecutions
 Mme Loubet sent out word to them by General Dubois, head of the pres fdent's military household, that it was impossible for her to receive depu- tation upon subject which was sole ly within the scope of the executive.
 The wife of Deputy Reille made a violent protest. ."rell Mime. Loubet," she said, sthat the blood of women will flow if measures are not taken to stop this ill treatment of the sisters. We will address letter to the wife of the president in which we will de- clare war upon the oppressors. The Christian women of France have de- cided not to suffer in silence"
 A serious situation is prevailing in the fanatically Catholic country around Brest on account of the closing of the unauthorized schools. The coun- tryside has taken up arms and is deter mined to resist any attempt at the forci- ble execution of the orders of the pre- mier.
 An incident at St. Meen, eighteen miles from Brest, shows the spirit of the peasantry. Two newspaper men of Brest drove there in an automobile to investigate the situation at the sisters school. Immediately after they had entered the commune boy sounded bugle and crowds of peasants swarmed from the fields, armed with pitchforks and ironbound sticks, shout ing: Long live the sisters!" .sLong live HbertyY'
 One of the reporters was dragged from the automobile, and the fanatics beat him with their pitchforks and sticks. The newspaper man explained in the Breton dialect that he had only come in search of information, but the crowd refused to listen to him, and the reporter had to keep them at bay with a revolver.
 A school at Ploudaniel, in the same neighborhood, has been converted into a fortress, barrieades have been erect ed, and the inhabitants have formed a cordon about the surrounding area.
 The Journal Omciel has published a decree. signed by President Loubet, designating twelve congregationalist schools in Paris and fourteen in the department of the Seine which it or ders to be closed immediately, as they have been opened since the passage of the law of associations without au- 5thorization. Asa matter of fact most closed aIready, and the sisters in charge ofsthem have returned to con- vents.

Contract Not Let.

For two or three weeks the report
has been circulating that the contract
for the building of the b., II. & p. from
Punxsutawney through this place To
Indiana had been let to Patton & Kerr,
of Clearfield county. We discredited
the rumor when we we gave II and our
surmises turn out to be correct. In an
interview with Chief Engineer Jones
Monday he denied the rumor; that
there was no truth in it whatever; that
the road is not yet in shape for placing
under contract.
Things, however, are moving along
very satisfactorily, and the indications
are for the early letting of the line. A
corps of engineers were put to work on
the line again on Friday, commencing
at the point above Punxsutawney where
the line leaves the present road, and
are working in this direction. Just
what they are doing, we could not
learn, but some affirm they are put
ting the finishing touches on the line

John B. DeMotte.

A large audience greeted Prof. De-
Motto at Wesleyan chapel last night.
Those who heard him we'll understood
why his praise as great lecturer has
gone abroad over the land. He made
a forceful plea for the formation OF good
habits, as the basis for character, and
his premises were all based upon per-
sonal scientific research. Prof. DeMott
is profound student OF the brain, and
some OF his deductions are startling to
the ordinary thinker. His lecture was
aptly illustrated by stereopticon views,
mostly the production OF his own inves-
tigation, and it is not too strong to say
that his audience was held entranced

1.-THE New Citizen"

The Constitution OF the United States
OF America has put new meaning into
the word citizenship. The high ideals
OF the fathers OF our country have laid
the foundations OF good citizenship in
such way that the Industrious, high
minded, ambitious men and women Of
all nations have flocked to our shores.
The present prominence OF our nation
among the nations OF the world and its
new fields of usefulness and power have
given to American citizenship a fresh
inspiration toward true living and great
accomplishments.
The high sentiments OF our Chief Ex-
ecutive in his address. "The New Citi-
zen," printed in The Youths Companion,
are fttingly published In the Washing
tons Birthday Number. George WASH
ington, by his pure and wise conserva-
tism and ambition for the new country,
fairly won his title of Father OF his
Country. Theodore Roosevelt, the best
exponent OF our twentieth century acti-
vity, has equally high ideals for the ma
tion; and In this address and in his life
he lays particular stress on the individ-
ual, his stewardship, his usefulness in
home and public life.
