LAKES CLAIM 1875 sEAMEN.
Season of 1905 Proves Nearly as
Disastrous as 1905.

One hundred and twenty-six lives were
lost in navigating the great lakes during
the season just closing. Compared with
the loss of 90 lives in 1905, the seasons
death list appears small and yet with but
two exceptions it was the largest in the
last decade. In 1905 the lakes were
swept by three great storms. all of which
took a heavy toll of sailors lives, but in
1906 there was but one gale to have
place in the annals of the great lake
perils. That was the storm of Oct. "a,
when the passenger steamer j. H. Jones
went down in Georgian bay without a
single survivor of the thirty persons on
board. The steamer Resolute foundered
with loss of six lives on Lake Ontario.
Other smaller losses brought the total for
that storm to forty-four. or over third
of the entire seasons losses.

cd the priests to stand firm and not to

Value of French Churches.
Under the new French law, which is
the cause of the war between the state
and the Vatican. church property valued
at 5000, 10000 has been confiscated- For
any other but religious uses, however, it
has much less value. Recently an aban-
doned church which cost $4,000 was sold
for $3.50, or the value of the material
after the cost of demolition.
Many French Catholics feel that they
are simply being robbed of their prop
erty, but state and church have been
united for ages in that country and the
titles to the real estate and buildings
are by no means perfectly clear. Some
of the land was originally set aside by the
state and some of the churches were in
part built by money raised by taxes.
In different centuries the question OF
ownership has been disputed.
During the revolution of 1IS9 every
scrap of church property was taken by
the state and the entire priesthood driven
out of the country. In 1901 Napoleon
made new concordat, by which he did
not restore title to the property, but
gave an allowance of 100000 year to
the church and permitted it to use
churches, rectories and other buildings,
The republican motto. Liberty, equality
and fraternity" which the revolutionists
put over the churches in token of own
ership, was never taken down and to-
day still asserts the supremacy of the
state
When the new law for the separation
of church and state was passed it was
believed that title to all property should
lie within the state, but that the churches
could still be used for religious purposes

lied to manage the properties. This plan
had to be abandoned when the Pope or.
dered the French hierarchy not to agree

They have obeyed implicitly and so the
national church of France of to-day has
no organized body which the state recog-
nizes. The French ambassador to the
Vatican was withdrawn some time ago.
