French Church Troubles.

Paris-The clergy of Paris ISSUED
special appeals Wednesday to theirpar
ishioners to be present at the church
es Thursday at the first mass cele
brated outside the pale OF the law
The government, however, purposes
to proceed gently. These services
will not be broken up, but policemen
viii be In attendance to note infrac
tions of the law, and cite otticiatint
priests before the nearest justice o.
the peace.
The chief danger of disorders IL
raris lies in the possible invasion
of churches by rowdies and free think
ers. Reserves of gendarmes will be
stationed tomorrow at various points
throughout the city to guard against
trouble on this score.
The efforts made by certain mem
bers of the chamber of deputies and
other disinterested persons to insure
q continuation of services in churches

Catholic laymen in each parish to
make the forbidden declaration, have

much success. Up to the present the
church Of ST. John the Evangelist Is
the only church where such legal ap
plicatiOn had been made, although II
is impossible to foretell what the
next few days will bring forth.
The indications are against any
thing which might be dignified by the
name of religious war, and the prompt
expulsion from France of Mgr Mon
tagnini, secretary of the papal nuncia'
ture here since the recall of the nun
clio, coupled with the threats to eXpel
recalcitrant clergymen from France
has had a SOLDERING influence. The
militant Catholics are in hopeless
minority and the masses are either
Indifferent or inclined to side with the
government.
Seven curates at Ternes, depart
ment of Cantal, have sent letter to
the local commissary Of police, de
claring they will resist with theil
lives any proclamation of the church
by free thinkers, using to this end
every arm permissible for Legitimate
defence.
There was riotous demonstration

Hauled of by a Tue.

Gloucester Mass.-The three-masted
schooner Bessie NJ. Beach, which went
ashore early Saturday morning at
the loaf on the westerly edge of Win
gaersheek, was foated Sunday after
noon after her deckload of stone had
been transferred to a lighter. She
was hauled into deep water by the
towboat H. S. Nichols and was towed
to the pier of the Rockport granite
company at Bay View.
The craft is apparently none the
worse for her Bleaching and does not
leak. After her sails are repaired she
will proceed on her voyage to Phila-
delphia.
Steward Charles o. Norton of the
Beach has been engaged in coasting
20 years and has been in seven bad
shipwrecks

they were innocent of all completely

The men had no documentary evi-
dence to present establishing this
fact, but the applications were sub

ing the civil war, has just died at the
home of her brother in Bloomsbury.
She was aged SO years.
At the outbreak of the war she re-

times have | seen her at the front
with the shells bursting on all sides
of her, tenderly ministering to the
wounded and dying"
She was under fire times without

Disregarding all precedents and the
rules of the organization, Post $50, G.
A. r., elected her an honorary mem
ber of the post and the members will
attend her funeral in a body.
