LAUGH ON THE BENEDICTS.
Ruling Regarding Substitutes in the
Rural Free Delivery Service.

"Some of the bachelor rurai free delivery
carriers are having the merry laugh upon
their associates who are married, said
postal official to Star reporter, though
the latter think it is anything but joke
AS for the wives of the benedict carriers,
well, what they think will go unsaid so far
as l am concerned, but man hasn't to be
married to form pretty close guess what
mamma would say under the c!rcum-
stances.
"Aa carriers who have been in the serv
ice for one year are now entitled to fifteen
days annual leave with pay. Many rural
free delivery carriers appoint their wives as
their substitutes, and the latter give bonds
in the usual manner the same as the regu-
lar carriers This is done in order to keep
the money which accrues from the service
in the family. Prior to the issuance of this
leave order, some carriers were in the serv-
ice for four or five years without taking a
days ieave, but now that they may have it
with pay they all want it. They refrained
from taking leave because they were obliged
to pay their substitutes during their alb
Sence.
But now when hubby wants to take an
nual leave, and the little wiley is the SUBJ
stitute, a family problem presents itself
which makes the mean bachelor rural car
rier grin with delight. OF course the wife
wants to go with the husband when he is
on his leave to look out for his welfare,
though the department will not declare that
all of these carriers necessarily wish this
loving guidance and companiOnship at this
particular time or ieave-taking.
But whether this solicitude is for the
purpose of protecting the husband from
the wiles of the world while away, or be-
cause.-the wife wants to have a good time,
too, the department cannot determine, but
it does say that If mamma goes with papa
one or the other or both have got to pay
some other bonded substitute to perform
the duties on the route while the regular
carrier and his substitute wife are absent
and so the money has TO go OUT OF the lam
iIy to some other chap after all.
THE department Is In receipt Oh nuiuA

How Many Whitehall Deer in. the
CountryP
nest THOMPSON Seton In Scribner's.

Ernest Thompson Seton In Scribner's.
In the season of 1895 the official returns
showed that 1890 deer We're killed in the
Adirondacks 1t is notorious that official
returns are far below the actual slaughter,
for we must add those killed illegally dur
ing or out of season, as well as those that
were killed and not found. There Is also
a proportion destroyed by natural enemies,
so that we need not hesitate to accept the
chief protectors estimate that 10000 deer
were killed in the Adirondacks during the
iseason of 1880
But this must have been far less than
half their numbers, otherwise they could
not stand the drain, as they evidently do
1 have heard hunters estimate that under
most favorable circumstances the deer do
not add more than a third each year by
actual increase. If, therefore, more than a
quarter are killed in a season, 1t means a
failing off. But the Adirondack deer are
holding their own, and I should therefore
estimate their numbers at 10000 or, rough
ly, three to a square mile.
The official report for Maine gives 1873
deer killed in 1899, which we are to believe
means destruction of at least 1900 deer.
But they have ample room and are steadily
increasing, so that l put those in
Maine at not less than 60 CO., or about two
to the square mile in 1900. Mr. w. T. Horn
aday gives the estimate of deer in Maine
at 100, CO., or three to the square mile in
1904.
The Adrondacks, northern New England,
northern Michigan. northeastern Texas and
the dry parts of Florida, aggregating 100,-
600 square miles, may yet show an aver
age of three deer to the square mile. But
We must consider the species absent from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
Kansas, kentucky, the northern half OF
Missouri and the southern halves OF Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York and
Ontario total area of about 900 900 square
miles of their best country. And the rest
| of the region marked for whitetVl in pres
| ent times is nearly without them that
one deer to FIVE square miles would be a
| liberal estimate. These figures would make
| the entire Whitehall population north of the
| Rio Grande somewhere about 800, The
state OF Maine, therefore, has now one
| fifth of the deer in the country, because
she has learned that they are worth keep
ing.

Action of the Bishops.

Indeed, this might easily have occurred at
any time before the 1st Of August A con-
vocation of the eighty-two bishops OF
France, held on the 31st of May last, decid
ed by a vote of 80 to IS to give the separa-
ton law fair trial and adopted plan
proposed by Mgr Fulbert-Petit, archbishop
Of Besancon, providing for the organization
of parishes similar to those which prevail
in the United States, thus carrying out the
provisions of the disestablishment law.
Ecclesiastical relations the doctrines of the
church, the canonical law, the ritual and
form of worship are not affected in any
way. The plan adopted simply provided
what we would call a corporation or church
society, which should take possession OF
the property and look after the financial
affairs of the parish, which has been hith-
erto the function Of the government This
is required by the law, and the proposition
involves the ownership of every house of
worship and all other church property In
France, valued at hundreds of millions of
dollars. Three months after this plan was
adopted and the clergy were in most cor
| dial relations with the civil authorities,
| Plus X published his Evangelical Gravis-
| simo." as it is called, forbidding the bishops
and Aargy of France to obey the law of
| their Iand, and denouncing it as an invasion
| of his Jurisdiction The encyclical says:
| Having therefore condemned this iniqui-
| tous law, examined it's articles with the
! greatest care to see If they permitted the
! organization of religious societies in France
! without jeopardiZing the sacred doctrines of
| the church. Concerning the religious asso-
| Citations such the law prescrbes, we de-
| cree absolutely that they cannot be formed
| without violation Of the sacred rites which
| are the very life of the church."

Cordial Relations Broken Of.

Until his time the relations between the
Vatican and the French government were
extremely cordial. Leo XIII, the late pope,
and Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secre-
tary of state, time and again gave their
cordial support to the republican admins
trations at Paris, Notwithstanding the 10y
atty and devotion of the monarchists to the
holy see. Merry del Val takes a position
directly opposite. He has reversed the ira
dtional policy of the Vatican toward the
French republic. Notwithstanding the fact
that it's revenues came principally from
France and that the monarehist party, to
which Cardinal Merry has given his adher-
ence and support, is penniless and rapidly
dying out. The policy he has induced the
pope to adopt might have been recommend
ed by Philip II. and would have been appro-
pirate to his period but it cannot be en-
forced in the present day without disastrous
results, as recent events in France have
shown. 1t has already caused the, expul-
sion of 90 600 monks and nuns from France
and the contiscation of all monastic prop
erty. 1t has closed every parochial school
and every school taught by priest or num-
and now it imperiis several hundred million

Encyclical Causes a Sensatie

This utterance, coming straight from the
lips of the holy father after the contrary
action of the bishops, which was practically
unanimous, caused a. profound sensation
and compelled the latter to reverse their
position. Yesterday eighty-two of them met
In Paris to consider the situation. Their
proceedings were secret, but, SO far as the
public can learn they did not recede from
their position. There was not the slightest
reference to the plan of Archbishop Fulbert-
Petit, which had been almost unanimously
adopted at the preceding meeting, and it
therefore stands as the judgment of the
French hierarchy; but, at the same time, it
Is officiallyy announced that telegram,
signed by the eighty-two bishops and arch
bishops was sent to Plus x, assuring him
of their profound gratitude" for the advice
and instructions they have received from
him. and promising "filial obedience in spite
of all the trials and perils that are to
come
This formal action accepting and indors-
ing the attitude Of the pope was not taken
without many misgivings and bitter re-
proaches privately uttered by wise men,
who attribute to Merry del VAL the young
papal secretary of state, the influence which
moved the holy father to issue what they
consider very unfortunate utterance. All
the blame Is not cast upon Merry del Val,
however, although he is supposed to be the
moving spirit. He is young man Of if
teenth century ideas and is an intense IA
matte. His brother, who Is private secre-
tary to the young King of Spain, once told
me that Cardinal Merry regretted that the
days of martyrdom were over, because it Is
now impossible for him to be burned at the
stake He is opposed to all progress. He
hates the United States and he hates
France because they are republics. He be-
lieves that all progress and all democracy
is in violation of the word of God and the
interests of humanity.

THE VATICAN INTERP0SED
Separation of Church and State IN
likely Without Tremendous
e.. Struggle. a..
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.


PARIS, September s, 1906.
The separation of church and state in
France will not be accomplished without
tremendous struggle, which has just be-
gun. The French are generally regarqed
as a nation of atheists and materlal1sts,
and while that is true to certain degree,
while it is undoubtedly a fact that there
is as little or less religion in France as In
any civilized country, it has been and still
is the most important of all countries TO
the holy see. The government is at pres
ent controlled by free thinkers as it was
in the French revolution, when the mob
set a ballet dancer on the altar Of the
great church of Notre Dame and worshiped
her as the Israelites in the wilderness Wor-
SHIPPED a golden calf. Atheism, however,
up to the present moment is almost en-
tirely confined to the educated and middle
classes. The old nobility, the monarchlsts
and the peasants have retained their rev.
erence for sacred things, their faith IN
their Maker and loyalty to the Church OF
Rome. Therefore, when an attempt Is
made to wrench the bonds and separate
the faithful from the mother church, 1t
will require more strength, l predict, than
the present administration possesses.
At the same time the Vatican will never
be able to recover the influence and author
ity it has gradually been using, not only
in France but in Spain also Sooner or
later the holy see will discover that Its
traditional methods and measures do not
apply to and cannot be enforced in re-
public. Therefore l am confident that a
compromise will be reached sooner or later,
and that both contestants will find COM
mon ground.

Burning Paupers' Bodies

Comptroller Metz of New York ad- vocates the cI>Snation of paupers He says he doesn't want to hurt anybody S feelings. but it is time to take tho scientific view of the matter, and ere nation is better than interment. But MT. Metz's proposition will run up against the strongest kind of antag- onistic sentiment Scientific minds may be able to reconcile their owners to incineration; but paupers, as a body. are not either scientific or aItruistic They have a hard time in life, and won't fancy a Gehenna disposition of their bodies when they die. Of course paupers are not very influential people. but they have a sympathetic public be- hind them. and the burning of paupers' remains would soon be followed by an outburst of popular wrath. There is no question as to the superiority from a sanitary point of view of cremation over burial; but sentiment and reli- gious doctrines and prejudices are in favor of the latter, and it is going to be long time before cremation will become the accepted method for the disposal of human remains.

What dost thou here, Elijah?" came 9 voice unto the first prophet of that name as he stood "at the entering in Of the cave" on Mount Horeb The prophet removing the mantle with which he had covered his face after the visitations of the wind, the earth quake. the fire and the still small voice replied that he had been over come by the disobedience of his people who had broken the covenants. thrown down the altars and slain the prophets. Thereupon he was directed to return and appoint kings and prophets, for there were yet seven thousand in Is- rael who had not bowed the knee to Baal
 When pr. John Alexander Dowie in his refuge at Ocatlan. Mexico, last Monday heard what had happened in Zion the night before. he no doubt re- peated to himself the ancient interro- gatory. What dost thou here. EIijah?" and he immediately began gathering himself together at his own direction to return to Zion and set things right to appoint a new Overseer. to restore broken covenants and again set up the altars to EIitah TIL
 He vii hardly find seven thousand there who have not gone off after other gods, but it is altogether prob able that when the magnetic founder Of Zion re-appears next Monday night some who have turned against him will turn to him.
 Dowie may be all that his enemi $ say he is and he may be crazy, but l man who has accomplished what ha has accomplished. who has held thou sands in mental and physical bondage and who has spread ridiculous religion over so much of the earth, will not likely be easily overcome by resolutions of revolt
 There is hardly an approaching event in the nation, hardly one in the world which is awaited with so much curi- osity. not to say interest. as the meet ing of this old man and his former followers.
