wnl Not Divide Archdiocese.

Dubuque. Jan. 10.--The story told in
the Associated Press emanating from
Rome regarding new division of the
archdiocese of Dubuque is positively
denied here. Chancellor Father BarrNs
who represents the archbishop. said:
THE dispatch no doubt grew out of the
communication to the holy father by
the bishops of the archdiocese of Du-
buque when In session here few
weeks ago. They did not recommend
that there be three archdioceses Great
ed. But that the province as now
standing be divided SO that the state of
Iowa would be one archdiocese and Ne
braska and Wyoming another. The dis
patch contradicts itself. There is no
intention or discussion of dividing the
diocese of Dubuque and think the cor
respondent that sent the item con-
founded it with the division of the
archdiocese"
AS Father Barry states, the report is
incorrect and is based on the communi-
cation from the bishops conference.

and future of the Philippine Islands.
The address was the most complete re-
garding the subject ever listenedi 10 by
a university audience.
President Schurman spoke in part as
follows:
"rhe present condition of the people
of the islands is worse than at any
time within the memory of man. War
devastated the country, pestilence has
carried away great numbers. the chol-
era is raging and now disease has de-
stroyed nine-tenths of the stock. The
|fluctuating currency has caused loss to
the business men and dissa tisfact1on
among everybody who is paid in the de-
preciated currency. This, congress can
remedy and should remedy this session.
We might have given the islands free
trade or nearly free trade with our
|country and thus have greatly advanced
their interests. We can not hold the
Filipinos by sentiment, as England
holds Canada and Australia, but we
can hold them by self interest we
see three possibilities for the future OF
the islands:
First. treat them as other acquired
territory and hold them as posslple
future state and admit them to run
statehood when they are ready for ad-
mission, but this is the United States
of America, not of Asia, and statehood
is repugnant to our people.
Second, we can go on ruling the ISL
ands without the consent of the Filip1-
nos. but that is not desirable nor is 1t
in accordance with the traditions OF our
country.
Third we can make them an inde-
pendent republic as we have in the case
of Cuba. That would be generous
treatment and it is the ideal to which
we should strive.
Or. Schurman said he would not give
the Filipinos Independence till they are
ready for it, but they should have such
independence when the right times

a SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
Woman Takes Poison and Then Plays
Cards. Awaiting Death.

ST. Louis. Jan. 10.-Mrs. Ellen john
son died at the city hospital this morn
ing from the effects Of a quantity OF
morphine taken at card party last
evening with suicidal intent. Mrs.
johnson took the poison at the home OF
Cornelius Duggan. Before the gSse
began Mrs. Johnson remarked to Mr.
and Mrs Duggan: Il am going to die
tOnIgnt;; LA 4iao-s-..t~ chance
you will have to play cards with me-
While the game was progressing Mrs.
johnson took the morphine unnoticed
and continued to play until she fell un-
conscious from her chair. The woman,
it is said, had attempted suicide six
times within the last two years. Do
mestic troubles are assigned as the rea-
son. Just before the fearful discovery
was made that she had taken poison
Mrs. Duggan remarked that her friend
was playing listless game and must
be sleepy.
ooh, 1t is nothing" the then almost
dying woman replied. II am just little
drowsy. 1t will pass off in a minute" !"
AS she uttered the statement she knew
that the drowsiness gradually clouding
her faculties was the forerunner of the
death that she coveted. Still she did not
utter a word that would indicte to her
friends that her well-laid plans for
death were rapidly reaching success
full elimination. She fought off the
drowsy feeling and until she fell to the
floor with the cards in her hands. AT
the city hospital the physicians tried
hard to save the woman's life. She was
limp and unconscious upon arriving
there and it was found utterly impossi-
BILE to walk the sleep off, because of her
great size. Every means was used to
wake her up, but she remained in a
comatose condition until she died.

Valuable Suggestion for Legislators.
Portland Oregonion.l

In deciding a suit upon franchise
tas Justice Brewer. of the United States
supreme court, said: Whatever prop
erty is worth for the purpose of income
and sale. 1t is also worth for the pur-
nose of taxation To deny the existence
of intangible property is to insult the
common intelligence of every man.. IN
another case Chief Justice Fuller, OF the
same court, held that the value of
franchise is found by adding the mar
ket value of the stock and bonds and
deducting the assessed value of the
tangible property Herein is a valuable
suggestion for Oregon legislators.
