DIVORCE EVILS Bishop Likens It to Po-
 lygamy. DEFENCE OF HOME
Modern Ideas Profanes Sanctity of Marriage State Says Bishop Stang and Destroys
 Christianity.

Fall River, Mass, March 5.-The evils of divorce are dealt with strong, ly in a lengthy pastoral letter by Bishop William l.. Stang of the Roman Catholic diocese of Fall River, sent yes terday to the elergymen of the diocese. The letter says in part:
 The modern state has llsurped the functions of spiritual authority and profained the sanctity of the marriage state.
 Professionalism permitted polygamy, first openly, then covertly, by cloaking 1t with the mockery of the civil law.
 All good citizens are mortified at the immoral doctrine and practice of the Mormons, but what is the difference between Mormons who believe in sim. nltaneous polygamy and those legisla- tors who authorize husband or Wife to separate and marry again dur ing the lifetime of the other party? Is not the latter a successive polygamy? An attempted marriage of legally di- vorced persons (whose lawful partners are still aline) involves the hideous crime of adultery which no cause un- der heaven can justify and no gold or pearls can beautify. No legislature can grant divorce so that parties once really welded can marry again with out skipping God, the supreme law giver, in the face, without undermining the foundations of Christian society. without imperilling the life of the na- ton.
 'I call upon the Christian journalists for the defense of the Christian home, which is destroyed by every divorce, and entreat them instead of regaling a sensational crowd with the unsavory details of divorce scandal, and tempt ing the sorely tried with evil sugges- tions to manfully denounce all who cooperate in sundering what God has united and to spare neither high nor low when the foundations of society are attacked through the violation of a sacred plight"

STRIKE IS ON Wheels Unturned In
 Moosup Mills. FOUR HUNDRED OUT Aldrich Manufacturing Company and the Strikers Are Both
 Firm and Refuse a
 Compromise.

Moosup, March 5.-Not d wheel turned ill the Aldrich Manufacturing Cos mills today, although the mills were wide open, the company announc- ing last week that any or all of the 400 weavers and spoolers would be al lowed to resume their places ill the mills on the opening of the factory to- day. Itis said that two men, not mem bres of the organization which was formed recently among the strikers, ap- piled for jobs at the mills, but for some reason they didn't go to work.
 Several men and women came here today from Willimantic and Webster, Mass, for the purpose of applying for work, but they returned on the next train. It is said that the situation was explained to them by so-called pickets and they were all induced to return without going to the mills.
 Last night d business mems meeting was held in Odd Fellows hall for the purpose of getting nearer to the real situation and the principal speaker was Rev F. NJ. Beal of the Methodist church. He told the strikers that if they would return to work the business men of the town would see to it that a satisfactory settlement with the company would be made later. A large number of strikers attended the meeting and some favored the proposi- ton advanced by Rev Mir Bea1, but tho majority opposed it, a few of them ex- pressing the opinion that the reverend gentleman was induced to make his speech by the company. The strikers are firm and so is the company.

MANAGER HITS HEAVY MAN.
Trouble in More to Be Pitieds than
 Scorned" Company.


 New Haven. March 5.-Cries of wretch! Stand back, villain! Rolled again! Bring on the hot irons Perci- val. etc. rent the air at the conclusion of the performance of More to Be Pitied than Scorned,' at the New Ha- ven theater Saturday evening, which cries were brought to sudden conclu- sion by Charles Bennett. heavy man of the troupe, being handed Jeff Jim fries punch i'll the left optic by John T. Lockering, the stage manager of the company.
 Bennett had made sarcastic re mark about Lockering's wife, the heroine of the play. Lockering de manded an apology. Bennett refused to bend the knee and Lockering .giye it to him blue eye"
 One of the nervous blondes of the troupe shouted for an officer, who speedily took Lockering in for breach of the peace. and then the entire com pany, from leading lady to "supe,' a throng of about twenty actors and actresses. followed mournfully in the trail of the policeman and manager. Sergeant Cook sat peacefully in his cosy corner in the central station. A squad of bluecoats sat in the ante room playing little casino.
 Suddenly the front door opened with a bang and q jargon of feminine voices penetrated the halls, causing sudden dismay among the casino playing blue coats, and a moment later the throng stood before the sergeants desk.
 "what's upi" asked the sergeant. "Pm one of the more to be pitied than scorned people" said the prison CT. and assisted by the officer he told the sad story.
 I.ockering was put in the locker and in two shakes of lambs tail a bond of ST5 for his release was furnished by Manager Levy and the fistic strong Lockering went out surrounded by his fellow actors.

WASTE AFFORDS FORTUNES
Filtration Plants Produce Material of Great Value in In-
 dustriea.

Waste not, want not" tells only half the story in the twentieth century, which finds fortunes in waste products. Sulphate of iron as a water purifying agent. with an admixturs of small percentage of copper sulphate. Is of comparatively recent use in mechani- cal filtration, and It's merit as coagu- lant. together with its low cost has led to it's employment as substitute for aluminium sulphate. A new outlet, therefore. has been provided for a waste product the uses of which hith- erto have been much circumscribed, and the disposition of which at all large finishing mills has been q prob lem. The possibilities of the trade are suggested by the requirements of one of the largest filtration plants. where $500 tons are used annually. More at- tention also is being paid to the use of the blast furnace fine dust. despite the many unsuccessful attempts at briquet- ing Recent developments indicate that the latter has been given up as impracticable. and attention is being turned toward the agslomsrssion of the dust into rotary kilns. Some of the largest producers of steel have already made plants for the rotary kiln typs.

FATHER ,GAPON
Member of Hi. Organization Sui. cides in a Sensational
 Manner.

St Petersburg, March 5-Ihe accus- ed member of the Father Gapon h. Dor organization who. committed sui eide yesterday while the scandal in Yolving the charges of accepting mon ey from the government was being investigated was named Sechoff. He enjoyed high standing among his fellow workmen who are terribly de pressed as result of the scandal in the organization. It now develops that Father Gapon was himself pres ent at yesterdays session when Sechoff dramatically killed himself. Father GregOri PetrOff had charged him with obtaining $2,5O0 from Fath- CT Gapon and with having accompan- jed q member of the secret police ill the search for NJ. Matushensky. press agent and counsellor of the Father Gapon movement, who fled with the organizations funds.
 During the progress of the meeting Sechof made an impassioned speech in which he declared that he could not support the infamy involved in the charge that the organization had been in league with the government. nor the obloquy heaped upon himself. as both he and the organization were innocent
 Sechoff then called upon Father Gapon to declare in the presence of his fellows whether he, Sechoff, had received cent from the government. Father Gapon arose and exonerated Sechoff whereupon the latter said: T will now give you supreme proof ot my honesty" and drawing revolver he blew out his brains.

HE WILL RETURN. McCurdy Gives Promise ! to Jerome PROBE STILL DEEPER Former President of Mutual Life Sailed for Paris But Must
 Come Back Whenever
 Wanted.

New. York, March 5.-It appears from the Herald that Richard A. Me
 Curdy, former president of the Mutual Life Insurance Go, before sailing for Paris on Wednesday last, entered into "a written undertaking with District
 Attorney Jerome to return to this coultl, 1t any time his presence might be deslred and to return by September 1 in any event.
 This is taken to confirm the report that the district attorney is preparing certain life insurance matters for the grand jury. It also appears that Mir Jerome was shown certificate from Mir McCurdy's physicians representing that the former president of the Mu- tual was in physical condition de-
 manding absolute rest and removal from the scene of his many business cares.
 De Lancey Nicoll, personal counsel
 to Mir McCurdy, says that his client en- tered into written undertaking to re. turn to New York, and says further confirmation is given by other counsel to Mir McCurdy.
 MT McCurdy Is in no danger of prosecution upon any crlmlnal charge, said Mir Nicoll last night. But h.s condition, as all the world knows, was desperate. I do not believe that Mir Jerome intended to present him before the grand jury, but at the same time Mir McCurdy did agree to return to this country at any time he might be required. At no time had Mir McCurdy intended to desert his native land Here are all of his interests and here is all of his property
 MT McCurdy did sign an undertak- ing with Mir Jerome to return to this country at any time he might be sum- moned," said another of Mir McCurdy's attorneys. 'He did not have to dc this, but did it because he had noth- ing to fear and nothing to cover up. He also specifically agreed to return by September 1. He did have cer- tlficate from his physician drawn up and MT Jerome did see it. But the whole affair is of no importance, for there was no charge existing against Mir McCurdy and he could not have been interfered with.'

INNER CIRCLE
Strange Conditions Are Said to Exist in the Miners
 Federation.

Portland, Ore, March 5.--The Oregonian prints today dispatch from it's Boise, Idaho, correspondent, which states in substance that the inner circle' of the Western Federation of Miners did not confine itself to the murder of non union miners and state officials, but that the tools who com mitted the crimes were themselves the victims of the inner circle" Orchard was one of the tools marked for de- structiOn, and the correspondent says that the confession of Steve Adams Is said to show that Orchard had been shadowed for a long time. It is not believed that Orchard knew that he was under suspicion but there is every reason to believe he stood in fear of death at the hands of those by whom he was employed.
 The correspondent states that through resident of Boise, still another victim of disturbances connect ed with the Colorado mining trouble is added to the list. This is Wesley Smith, boss miner. who disappeared from Telluride in 1902.

ERlN's POPULATION LESS.
Total Number of Inha bitants at tho Middle of Last Year Was Put
 at Only 4,4O3, ,1e2.

Consul Gunsaulus. of Cork, writes that some valuable and interesting figures are given in the annual report of the registrar general of Ireland, just issued, covering the fiscal year 1904. According to this report the estimated population of Ireland has fallen. in the middle of the year 1905, to 4,403.192. .
 It appears that during 1904 the mar riages registered in Ireland numbered 22,9S1, the births 10s,s11 and the deaths 7S,613. The marriage rate, which is 5.22 in 1000 of the estimated population, shows an increase of 0.01. as compared with that for the year 1903. and is 21 per cent. above the av- craze rate for the ten years from 1894 to 1903. and the highest rate for any of these years. As to the birth rate (23.5 in 1.000) it shows an increase of 0.5 as compared with that for the preceding year. and is also o.5 above the average rate for the ten years 1S94-1903. The death rate (1s.1 In 1.0o0) is 0.6 above the rate for the preceding year and 0.1 above the av. craze rate for the ten years from 1894 to 1903.
 The natural increase of population recorded. or excess of births over deaths. was 24.29S; the loss by emi- grafton amounted to 33.902; a decrease of 12.6o4 in the population would thus appear to have taken place during the year; but against this decrease there Is a setoff In immigration of which no official record has been ob- tained.

 Kind.
