Debate on Church Measure.
PARIS. December 1.-The senate has
concluded the general debate on the new
church measure. and the principal of the
bill was voted yesterday by 1871 to 81. There
only remains the discussion of the details
of the various sections and 1t is expected
that this will be completed today.
In the course of the debate Minister of
Education BRAND called forth repeated SAL
of applause by assurances of the gov
ernments determination not to enter upon
superfiuouS negotiations with Rome, not
to sacrifice its dignity by abandoning the
proposed reforms and not to accede to the
Vaticans evident desire for persecution, to
which the government had replied with an
offer of legislation more liberal than apper-
tains in any other country. The Vatican,
however. declared NJ. BRAND. had refused
liberty as its worst enemy.
The bill did not violate the spiritual IN
f1uence of the hierarchy. continued the min
lister of education. and proof of this state
ment was to be found in the fact that many
bishops. clereymen and influential laymen
considered the law of 1905 acceptable, but
were compelled to refrain from submission
thereto because of their obedience to Rome.
which the speaker described resembling
slavery
No Special Rights Accorded.
The government had offered the church
the full benefits of the common law. hither-
to demanded by the pope. but it would not
accord special rights to the Catholic HER
archy, which implied foreign control in the
internal affairs of the French republic.
The church's loss of property was her
own fault continued the minister The
present bill would place the church within
the law in spite of herself and oblige the
pope if he desired to continue resistance
to resort to private worship. and this meas
ure never would be accepted by the Catho-
lies of France. The cessation of public
worship. if it came about. would emanate
from Rome NJ BRAND averred, and this
would be clearly understood by the country
at large
The senate has ordered that NJ Brands
speech be placarded throughout France.

CUT ENDS IN DEATH
George Van Lone, who Scratched
his Hand While Splitting Wood
Dies from Blood Poisoning
he SUFFERED INTENSE PAIN

George d. Van Lone, formerly en-
ployed by the city as dog catcher,
died at his home on Grand avenue
late Thursday afternoon as result of
blood poisoning. The death of Van
Lone is one of the most remarkable
ever reported in the city. Five weeks
ago Van Lone was splitting wood at
his home when a splinter flew up and
struck him in the hand. The wound
was mere scratch and he continued
at work, paying little attention to it.
On the following day the wound be-
came infamed and Van Lone was
forced to seek the care of a physician.
From that time the hand began to
swell and in short time blood poison
ing set in. In short time the poison
was carried to every part of the mans
system and for the past ten days he
had been suffering great pain.
The physicians who attended Van
Lone seem to be of the opinion that
the wood which he was splitting con-
tanned some poison which was carried
to his system by the splinter.
The deceased was well known to
many people in the city and county.
He was 68 years of age and was ma
tive of New York state. He was born
at Ontario, Wayne county, New
York, and came to Kenosha more
than thirty years ago. He had been
employed in several of the industries
of the city but his last employment
was in the capacity of special offic-
er to enforce the collection of dog
licenses. He was forced to resign this
position on account of the injury
which resulted in his death. One
son, Claude Van Lone of Kenosha,
survives him.

No matter what it cos proper &C
commodations will have to be provided
for all the children who wish to at
attend school in Kenosha. The rapid
growth of the city has put heavy
burden on the taxpayers by forcing
the erection of new buildings and ex-
pensive additions, but since the school
board has decided that these improve
ments are absolutely necessary, there
is nothing for the city to do but pro-
vide the money for them. The $40, 600
that the addition to the Central build
ing will cost will add heavy burden
to the next tax levy but these is no
help for it. There is some slight con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the contract
for the work went to Kenosha men so
the profits on the deal will stay at
home

THE managers of the local ice
companies are evidently trying to get
the public on the side of the trust in
the present trouble with the drivers
and helpers, by carrying the idea that
any increase given the men will have
to come out of the consumers. They
keep talking about ''the present price
of ice'' as if a raise might be expected
any time, when everybody knows that
the consumer is paying more right
now for his ice than ever before IN
the history Of the business. The
trust is charging Kenosha consumers
Chicago prices, although this city is
fifty miles nearer the source Of sup
ply than Chicago and should have the
benefit of the difference in freight
rates at least. The people have
submitted mors or less quietly to this
imposition, but any attempt to gouge
consumers farther will result in a
first class row with possible test
case in the courts.
