ALARM Is SUBSIDING
Earthquakes Cease in Mining District
i and Confidence Returns.

HANCOCK, MICH.-No seismic disturbances,
the seat of which appears to be in the Quincy
copper mine, have been felt for some days
now, and while there has never been any dam
age done on the surface, the feeling Of alarm
has subsidized and more security is felt. The
occurrence of the shocks continues to cause much
specula ton e among the people. In some quarters
they are. being tremors of the earth, and in
other circles it is declared that the fault rests
solely within the mine. One theory is that the
ground containing the big copper producer Is
slipping against sandstone formation adjoin-
ing 1t. Another is that the old workings Of the
Quincy are breaking down, the resulting rush of
rock and earth causing the shocks. In any event
the shocks are self evident and they will con-
tinue to cause alarm as long as they exist, no
matter what their origin.

AS an argument in favor of abolishins

not know one earthly thing about the
schools in the remote country districts.
We confess that The Times-Dispatch
does not know as much as 1t would like
10 know about such schools and that Is
one reason why we favor the inspection
system. Nor can the Board of Education
possibly know what is going on unless
1T has field agents to go forth ana MAKE

Church Troubles in France.

When M. Syvetot slapped the face oil
General Andre last year on the floor Oh
the Chamber of Deputies at Paris, II
spark was kindled that has since grown
into an illuminating flame. M. Syvetot
had charged that the general staff Of
the French army was spying upon the
private lives Of the officers for tho pur-
pose of deliberately holding back all pro-
Tossing Christians and advancing all
atheists. Such a charge seemed hardy
credible and tho world contented itself
for the while with the belief that 1t was
only another outburst Of Gallo excita-
bility. Later Developments, however,
showed that the charge was founded on
facts. 1t was demonstrated that the
French army was honey-combed with
an organization of so-called Free Ma
sons, whose sole object was to detect
and record all officers who had any
leanings to the Catholic Church. When
such tendencies were discovered the off,
Ger was marked man. No ailigence
or capacity could secure for him pro-
motion. obscure posts and unnottced and
unrcwarded work were his inevitable
portion.
Long before this dramatic rebuff,
France had suspected that the army
was controlled by a ring, and the whole
country was in n state Of upheaval. Roy
alst and radical. Christian and infidel,
church and State were inextrlcably mixed
and COMPOUNDED.
From this chaos there finally emerged
the measure of Premier Con,bes. which
decree the absolute estrnngement of all
relations between religion and the gov
eminent.
The expulsion of the religious bodies
is ancient history now. But Cathedrals
can not be expelled, and II used at all,
such edifices can only be employed for
religious purposes. Under the new
law, though. these purposes are allowed
and readily sanctioned, all church prop
erty set apart for religious worship must
be inventoried. On this rock the law has
been like to splitter the taking Of

to use the .ignonimous fire hose to quiet
