BODY HAD DECOMPOSED

St Petersburg. Aug. 1.-Sorne OF the
religious proceedings in Russia make
rather curious reading in this twentieth
century. There has been considerable ex-
element lately, over the canonization
OF the new saint, 81. Se-aphiu, whose
body has been exhumed and transferred
TO special receptacle. 1t appears that
the minds Of the faithful have been much
troubled by an inquitous pamphlet pub
hshed by 2 society hostile 10 the Ortho-
doX church denying that the body is
sacred AT all, inasmuch as II has not been
preserved from decay. According TO Rus
sian tradition body, TO be holy. must
be in perfect state of preservation The
Metropolitan now writes a letter to the
Novoge Nremya, III which he boldly ac-
knowledges that only the bones and the
hair OF the saint were found in the
grave, but that the sanctity Of the de-
parted is fully established. by the many
miracles performed, not only in connec-
ton with his remains. but with the soil
in which ne lies buried. the stone on
which he prayed. and the water from
the well which he bored-by all Of which
many believers have been restored TO
health. Few saints. II seems. have ex-
hibited such radioactive powers.

NEW HEALTH SCIENCE.
Average Length of Life in EngIan
Has Been Increased.

London, Aug. 1.-The current meetings
of the British Sanitary Institute. com
posed of scientists, mayors. councillors
and officials from all parts of the coun-
try, have called public attention to the
fact that since public health became a
science at the beginning of the late
Queens reign the average life of a man
has been Increased by three years and
that of a woman by three years.
Today there are more than 100000 per-
sons living in this country who. had they
been born before the science of public
health was known. would have died be-
fore they were year old.
Thirty years ago typhoid killed ga peo-
pie out of every million. Today. with an
enormously increased population, it kills
a bare 100 per million. Typhus. which
sixt wears ago struck down another 500
per million has been literally stamped
out by sanitation. Statisticians compute
that the London county council has
saved 200oO lives, mostly infants. since
its creation.
In the days of Good Queen Bess' the
death rate was 50 per 1.cOo per annum;
today il is IS per 1000 per annum.
Where sixty years ago 100 persons died
from smallpox. but about five die now.
Deaths from fever have fallen by IS per
cent, typhoid by 90. scarlet fever by 81.
and consumption by IS per cent From
ISIS scarlet fever killed $50 persons per
million: IT now barely accounts for l0'
Consumption has now fallen within the
purview of sanitary authorities. During
1s6l-65 death by consumption claimed 2,526
persons yearly out of every million living.
Today a better acquaintance with the
laws Of health has cheated death OF half
the harvest Of 1875 from this disease.

MADHoUsE SCANDAL THERE.
Wealthy Merchant of Paris Nearly
Drived Mad From Confinement.

Paris, Aug Eight months spent in
an insane asylum without being insane
has almost driven a wealthy merchant Of
Paris mad. His case was taken up by
Jaque Dhur. a reporter, who went to
Charenton. where the man had been con-
fined by a relative who wanted him out
of the way and found in the same asylum
a man who had been confined there since
lS49.
The case has created such a sensation
that the deputy, Dr. Dubief, has drawn
up bill to be presented to the Chamber
of Deputies for the imn ediate revision of
the French law concerning the sequestra
ton of insane persons. The law has ex-
listed since 1885, According to this law
the certificate of only one physician is
sufficient to permit the confinement of
persons suspected of insanity in a state
or private asylum DR.. Weiss, professor
of law in the Paris law school, says:
1.-The French laws concerning the Sc
clusion OF insane persons are entirely out
of date Gambetta himself proposed cor
rections in 1870, but the political events
of the time prevented any action on the
matter 1t is time that the laws OF 1898
are repealed to assure the liberty of in

power and it is in her that the Papacy
has sought support for centuries. But the
Pope has been not onl va friend or
France. he has also been friend Of the
Republic.
First of all, he advised Catholics TO
rally TO the republican form of govern
ment. He was not followed. There he
failed. Neither the faithful nor even the
bishops obeyed him, and this disobedience
had for its excuse first. the convenience
which il afforded the opponents of the
Republic to combat it on the religious
field, where they could perpetuate the
misunderstanding which are necessary 10
them; and. second, that the government
did not respond to the benevolent inclina-
tons of the Pope because the Republic
has had to suffer too much from clerical
ism TO forgive il. 1t is a thankless task
Nevertheless, all the French liberals con-
sidered Leo XIII. as their ally. They
depIore his death, at which the reaction
aries scarcely conceal their joy.

-DUcAL TABLES SPREAD.
Automobiles Didn't Show Up as Had
Been Arranged.

London, Aug. 1.-The following note ap-
pears in this weeks Automobile Club
journal:
Many were the kind invitations ex-
tended to the members of the club in Ire
land. Unfortunately there were few which
they were able TO accept. In one in
stance, however, some misunderstanding
led to elaborate preparations being made
20 entertain club members. The Duke
and Duchess of Manchester invited mem
bers on their way from Dublin to New
castle to lunch with them at Tanderagee
Castle. Owing to the difficulty of com
municating with the members in Ireland
the invitations were not properly con-
veyed. The feast was spread, but the
guests failed TO appear.
The club is none the less grateful to
the Duke and Duchess of Manchester for
their kindly invitation. and greatly re-
Rrets that by combination Of circum-
stances its members were prevented from
enjoying their hospitality and express
ing individually their appreciation of it,"

Lurent-sur-Se Serves led to some very seri-
Gus disturbances the other day. In order
to prevent the officials from reaching
the monastery, the inhabitants raised a
formidable barricade of wagons and carts.
The demonstrators gathered behind it,
and greeted the gendarmes accompany
ing the public prosecutor with shouts of
'Vive la Liberte!'' and ''Vivant les
Freres,'' The barricade having been
broken down. the demonstrators withdrew
slowly through the streets of the village
towards the house of the Brothers At
various points on the road they made rail-
lies, but the large force of foot and
mounted gendarmes steadily drove them
back though they numbered about 1900
men. most of whom were armed with
cudgels. The doors of the building being
strongly barricaded, and the gandarmes
being fully occupied with the mob, the
magistrate was obliged to send dis
patch to Roche-sur- Yon for troops. Be-
fore these arrived, however the Brothers
consented TO admit the public prosecutor
and the examining magistrate and three
gendarmes on the condition that no one
