Newspaper Paragraphists.

The New York Press has an interest
ing editorial on -paragraphists
in which it ascribes to George d. Prem.
tice, of the Louisville Courier Journal,
the pre- eminence in that rare art. Among
newspaper men it is well known that
the gift, or facility, of writing spicy and
taking paragraphs is higher art than
that of writing long editorials. In Vir-
ginia, John Hampden Peasants of the
Richmond Wing was the prince of para
graphists. Next to him came the elder
Snowden of the Alexandria Gazette, and
following him the late editor of the same
name. What a gift it is to be able to
express a pertinent thought in laconic
language, especially if spice and pi-
quancy be impaired to the expression Of
the thought. Il Charlottesville Progress.

THE various organs of the socialist
propaganda have broken out into more
or less violent attacks on Mr.. w. j.

an extended open letter in the socialist
Appeal to Reason showing what he re-

AIeasurinpthe Stars

San Francisco, Aug. 9l.-A Lick OBJ
servatory bulletin, just issued, states the
distance of Alpha Centauri has been de-
termined spectroscopically. So far as
known, this is the nearest star to the
earth. The result is in harmony with OBJ
servations by means of the ordinary tele-
scope, to the effect that light from this
star, travelling with a speed of 1856, 900
miles per second, requires four and one
fourth years to reach the earth. The
great SW edish physicist, Svante August
Arrbenius, professor of physics at the
University of Stockholm, who has spent
the last two months at the University Of
California, has written paper on the
physical nature of the suns corona. He

Obeved Pope's Summons

The Pope yesterday received in pri-
yate audience Monsignor Geay, bishop
of Laval, France, who explained that,
now that France has severed her diplo-
matte relations with the Vatican, he had
no more reason to abide by Premier
Combs instructions not to obey his sum-
mons TO Rome, and had hurried to the
Vatican, wishing to demonstrate that he
was a victim of calumnies, and that he
could prove his innocence of the charges
brought against him. The bishop was
deeply moved, tears flowing from his
ewes. The Pope kindly consoled add
encouraged him, saying that if the
charges were false he would have all the
assistance necessary to prove himself in
nocent. The Giornale Italia asserts
that Mousignor Geay, at yesterday morn
ing's audience presented to the Pope his
resignation as bishop OF Laval. Bishop
Geay is one Of the French bishops who
were summoned to Rome by the Vatican
for trial or punishment, against which
the French Cabinet strongly protested,
claiming that the disciplining of bishops
without first consulting the wishes
of the government was against the
terms of the concordat. The Vati-
cans perseverance in the stand 1t had
taken led to the severance of diPlo-
matte relations between France and
the Vatican. A dispatch from Paris
states that the action of Bishop Geay in
going to Rome in spite of the counter
orders of Premier Combs has resulted IN
the determination of the government to
suspend the pay of the bishop.
