SAINT JOAN OF ARC.
Maid Of Orleans to Be Canonized by
Catholic Church.


After nearly i've centuries OF mlsrep-

ton OF rites of the Roman Catnoiic
church has taAen the first steps toward
the canonization of Joan Of Arc. After
having suffered in her lifetime from the
greed of her own countrymen, represent
ed BY her sale to the English by the duke
of Burgundy. by royal ingratitude repre-
scented by the indifference to her Iate
of the worthless Charles VII. for whom
she saved his throne. by the church itself
as represented by Cauchon, the bishop
OF Rouen, who, after declaring her guilty
upon improved charges Of heresy. WITCH
craft and communication with evil spir-
it,. turned her over to the secular au-
thoritIes for burning at the stake. which
neither the French nor the English
prevented. she Is now declared fit for
beatidcation.
1t is probable that from the historical
point OF view the rea. story of the peas
ant girl of Domremy. who left her
fathers sheep at the command Of the

Saints Catherine and Margaret by re-
vealing her mission to the worthless
dauphin, by raising the siege Of Orleans,
driving the English from most Of their
French possessions. and finally by con-
Quoting the dauphin to his coronation At
Rheims, may never be told in all its
details. Even contemporary historians
diner according to the extent OF their In
dividual beliefs in supernaturalism.
Those who were guilty Of her betrayal
and surrender invented all sorts OF
charges to excuse their action. and later
historians, unable to account in . ma
terial way for her marvellous career,
found themselves either forced to con-
cede that that career was full OF miracles
or to doubt her very existence. which

Smithson was q natural son OF the

embittered by the fact that he could not
take the position In the British aristoc-
racy which his ancestry deserved. He
inherited his mothers fortune. and did
much work of value along scientific lines.
but, up to the time Of his death, he
seemed to have done nothing to make
good his prophecy. Then he drew up

make Mr. Vanderbilt the candidate Is
his acceptance when the nomination II
rendered. The leaders say their only fear
on that point is that the young million

representative Of the district. They
roomed together at Yale and are the
closest friends. The district is normally

Mary Anderson, as Mrs. de Navarro Is

On being asked by New York World

She was dressed in pink silk costume

All the eyes Of the immense audience

talented woman. who had stepped out
from the most attractive Of all the pro-
fessions into matrimony when at the
zenith of her fame.

lishment for the increase and diffusion
OF knowledge among men,"
A nephew had the use Of the money
until 1885. when he died childless. and
the United States, came into possession
Of it after an extremely short contest.
The amount was $515. 700. which was
brought from England in los bags, each
containing 1000 gold sovereigns, and
was deposited in the United States
treasury at six per cent. interest. The
fund now amounts to more than $780,
900. and certainly no fund Of that size
has done more for the world.
The actual beginning Of work with
the fund was in 1886. and took the shape
Of printing and distributing free Of
cost personal memoirs containing actual
contributions to knowledge, lectures de-
livered In Washington. and giving ~
sistance to scientific investigators. Ger
tain studies were Instituted which have
resulted in much government work,
among others the weather bureau. In
fact, most of the present scientific activ-
tiles Of the government have grown out
of 1t or been stimulated by 1t. The instis
tuition has 5000 correspondents In the
United States. and $4,000 in other parts
of the world.

mena Over 1900. 900 persons have Wis

MEETING OF CREDITORS

Statement Made of Condition of Institution.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 3--The members
of the committee chosen to represent
the creditors of the Aultman company,
of Canton. now in the hands of re-
ceiver, had their first meeting at the
directors rooms of the Cleveland Trust
Co. this afternoon, and spent several
hours discussing the situation and de-
Gliding what steps had best be taken.
All the members were of the opinion
that the interests of the creditors de-
manded that the committee go ahead
with it's work. The responses that
had come from the various creditors
who. could not be reached, were that
the formation of the committee was a
proper step. 1t was decided to make
the committee active to secure the
opinion of the creditors, as far as they

can be reached. and a letter was
drafted in which there is given a
statement of the facts, as far as they
are known, suggestion OF what the
committee hopes to do in protecting
and advancing the interests of the
creditors, and request that the cred
itors at once indicate approval or dis
approval of the plan and notify the
committee.
This letter was put in the mails last
evening and will be distributed among
al the creditors whose addresses are
known. Within one week the vote
of the creditors ought to be known,
and as quickly as that fact is known
the committee will then perfect its
permanent organization and go to
work.

this unholy legalized liquor traffic in
our state. Every tax or license vote
consents to this waste and ruin.
Every prohibition ballot is a protest
against this great evil. Fellow citi.
zens of all classes stop long enough
to think along this line, and then
vote to protect our homes and sup.
press the greatest evil now abroad in
our state and nation. 1t is not a
question of party, but of principle that
should appeal to the conscience of
every loyal voter, of every name and
party.
