VATICAN lS MUCH
 EXCITED
The Religious Situation in France Has Greatly Stirred Up the Entire Entourage of the Pope.

ROME. Dec. 11.-Great excitement prevails at the Vatican because of the situation in France, and news from France is eagerry awaited.
 The pope today received Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli, and in the course of conversation said the Vatican de clined responsibility for what might happen in France. It is believed here the coming conflicts may prove more serious than those which occurred at the time of taking tlse inventories, and it is suggested that if worship is held privately the faithful may have to be supplied with tickets to attend mass and other religious ceremonies. Contrary to his usual habit, the pope remained up until a late hour to. night for the purpose of personally reading the telegrams and going over certain documents concerning the sit uation in France.
 The pope is described as camer than any member of his entourage. He is reported to have said: Man can not fathom all the designs of Provi-
 
 dence. Perhaps the present tribula- tions are intended only to quicken and emphasize the ultimate and inevitable triumph of the church"
 According to reports received at the Vatican, the Catholics of France are divided into two classes. those who identify the interests of the church with their own political interests, us- ing the church to further anti-republi- can agitation, and those who think only of the interest of the church. The former are delighted at everything un- conditionally papal and intransigeant, and the latter are grieved at the situ- ation, which makes it impossible to be good patriots and good Catholics at the same time.
 Many cipher telegrams are being exchanged between the Vatican and Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, who has been entrusted to ascertain If the expulsion today of N. Montagni' nj, papal nuncio, and the searching os his house. is in violation of French laws. L.-s

NEW YORK. Dec. 1i.-Afthough the trading fn the stock of the Nipissing Mines Co. was considerably less active today than on yesterday. 1t neverthe- less furnished the overshadowing feat ure of the curb market. both as re gards activity and price movements. The statement given out last night by Attorney Fov of the Province Of On tario to the effect that the titles of the company were good was not sufff- cient to check the declining movement in the stock.
 It Is said In wellinformed cirGIs that insiders are firm believers in the company and that its prospects are very bright. They have not sold any of their stock on the way down and do not intend to. It Is generally accepted that the Guggenheim interests were perfectly honest in their desire to fur ther examine the titles of the con- pany before exercising their option on a large block of the stock, and that the failure of the vendor to grant an extension of time for that purpose was the only reason for the action of the Guggenheim people in turning down the option.
 Considerable interest attaches to the forthcoming meeting of the board of directors of the company, which is sceduled to be held within the next week or ten days. It is expected by many that the dividend will be sub. stantially increased. in view of the large earnings of the company. which are said to amount to about s500. COG net per month.

TAXES WILL BE DELINQUENT
 DEG. I7TH
After Monday Next interest As Well As Taxes Will Be Col lected-Should Notify Tax Collector of Sales.

Although the city taxes have been coming in rather fast. there are still a large number of people who have not paid their share towards the expenses of supporting the city government, and unless they do so within the next few days they will find that they are pay. ing interest on the amount which has been assessed to them.
 When seen yesterday and asked ,on cerning the mattr, City Marshal Snod grass, who is ex-officio tax collector said: Although a large amount of the city taxes has been paid in al ready, still the amount remaining ,s rather large, and great many people seem to forget that their taxes will be delinquent after December 11th. After that date the taxes as well as the inter est on the same will be collected. expect that some of the balance stil remaining will be paid tomorrow, as il will be pay day.
 Another matter which Is overlook ed by many of the property owners 1T the city, Is one which causes a greai deal Of trouble to the tax collector, ant could be easily remedied if the own CTS of property would use a little goot judgment. The matter which l refel to is, when a property owner dispose. of his or her interest in certain piec. of property after the tax roll has beer made up, and never notifies the tal collector of the change. As consc quenee, the taxes become delinquen: and notice is mailed to the persoi to whom the property Is credited on tn tax roll, but in many cases this is th, fast heard of the matter until the prol erty is placed up for sale, and then 1 is found that there has been a chang in ownership. This has occurre, many times In the past, and has cause

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Dec i1.-A telephone message to the Associated Press from Salina says that as re suit of terrific rains in that section within the past thirty-six hours, a heavy landslide has occurred along the Southern Pacific line near Chittenden, twenty-eight miles from Salinas. along the Pajaro river

Nominations of Moody and Bonaparte Held Up In Sen ate Pending Inquiry Into Moody's Record In House.
Southern Senators Do Not
 Want a Man on Supreme Bench Committed to Reduc- ton of Their 7eore sentaticn.

WASHINGTON. Dec. I.-rhe nomi- nation of William H. Moody to be as- sociate justice of tne supreme court of the uni;e1 States, was again taken up in the senate today, but because of renewed inquiries by democratic sena. tors. this time relating to actions by him as member of t;re house of rep resentatives, it went over until to- morrow. An understanding was reach. cd. however, to vote on the nomination in executive session tomorrow.
 Senators Carmack and Culberson commented on the story that Mir Moody .as a member of the house. had been active in trying to have passed Ia bill that would reduce the represen eatjon of the southern states. The lat ter said there were several matters which might affect the present attor ney generals fitness for a place upon the supreme bench that the demo cratic senators desired to inquire about.
 No attempt was made today to con. firm the nomination of Charles j. Bonaparte to be attorney general as that nomination depends upon the con. flrmation of Moody in order to provide a vacant attorney generalship.
 In reference to the criticisms made yesterday in the senate upon his at dtude toward trusts, Secretary Bona. parte today said:
 T did not attend the conference held in Chicago in 1899, to which ref erence has been made in some press dispatches. and consequently made nc address there. The quotations pub lished as excerpts from this supposed address are probably an answer to certain printed questions sent to me and to great many other persons by those who organized the conference and to which l remember sending re plies. This is all care to say upon the subject, to which. I must own, have given but little thought"

CATHOLIC FAIR WILL OPEN
 TONIGHT
Bazaar, Which Is Being Held For Purpose of Raising Funds For Construction of School, Promises Success.

The bazaar which is to be held un- der the auspices of St. Patrick's Cath ohc Church will be opened at the Op- era House this evening. and win be held each night for the remainder Of the week.
 Several months ago the members of the local parish held a meeting with Rev. Father Muerer, and the plan of erecting a convent in the city, and plac- ing it under the direction of the sis te1s was taken up. The plan met with the hearty approval of all present. and the next matter taken up was that of obtaining funds for the construc- ton of the necessary building. It was finally decided to hold a bazaar, and different. committees started to work on the details connected with the af. fair. All of the merchants of the city gave their assistance, and from the beginning the committees have met with encouragement on all sides. Val uable presents have been donated, and all have joined in the movment to make the affair great success, as its object Is one which is deserving oi the support of everyone in the city, re gardless of religious creed.
 The ladies of the parish have benn very active in preparing for the ba, zaar. and the many pretty booths which will meet the eye of the specta tor are evidence of the time and trou ble which they have expended to make the affair one that will be remember ed.
 The committee on entertainments has arranged a varied musical and yo cal program for each evening. at the conclusion of which dancing will De induiged in.
 Up to the present time 1t Is almost impossible to state which of the young ladies is ahead In the contest for the diamond ring, as many of the adher ents. of each have not turned in theii

lists of votes. Great interest has been aroused in this contest, and 1t will probably prove to be the most evenly contested of all.
 In the other contests all are working hard. and the results are still in doubt. Among the children most of the inter- est has centered in the contest for a beautiful large doll. There are so many entries in this contest that 1t is impossible to arrive at any kind of a conclusion as to how they stand.
 There is no doubt but what the af- fair will prove a great success, and will add another high class education al institution to the already well equipped schools of the district.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed, you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, IN
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intlamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh1
