ton of Mrs. Grover.


New York, Dec. 22-As a sequel to
the extraordinary story of the hallu-
cinations of Mrs Lulu B. Grover, who
committed suicide in this city on Dec

FRANCE STANDS FIRM.
Bill Amending Church and State Sep
aration Law Passed.


Paris, Dec. o. The governments
new religious measure was received
with enthusiasm in the chamber of
deputies, and the bill was carried by
the overwhelming majority of 413
against 1866. The bill amends the
church and state separation law.
The supporters of the cabinet con-
slider that the enactment Of this legis-
lation will greatly strengthen the posi-
ton Of the present ministry for the
continuance of the struggle with the
Vatican.
The discussion of the bill was very
short. Premier Clemenceau did not
participate in the debate.
The attitude taken by Minister Of
Education BRAND made a great i'm
preston, especially his statement that
the government never intended to
close the churches or interfere with the
individual conscience, as this would
permit the clergy to assume the atti-
tude of being prosecuted.
The cabinet, the minister explained,
had decided to retain the formality Of
requiring a declaration to hold meet
ings because it was resolved not to
capitulate to the Vatican, which was
acting contrary to French law
A report from Rome says that, ac-
cording to information in the posses
sion of Vatican officials, the members
Of the French cabinet declined with
emphasis a proposal made to them to
send an authorized person to Rome to
negotiate with the Vatican
The pope, speaking to some of the
cardinals, is reported to have said:
'The French government seems not
to understand that certain conditions
are not acceptable to us because they
are inadmissible with the organization
of the church. We are ready to sub
NIT to separation from the state, but it
must be fair separation, not subjec-
ton, such as pertains in the United
States, Brazil, Great Britain and
Holland

There Will Be More Cheer
Than Has Been Known at
at Any Christmas in Years

For the past week and more, the shop
ping districts of Jersey City have been
crowded with Christmas shoppers, and
the Indications are that next Tuesday
will be the merriest Christmas that this
city has known in years. Never have
there been greater evidences of prosper
lty. Almost everybody on the streets, on
the ferryboats and trolley cars, has been
seen carrying at least one bundle evident
" containing a Christmas present. Some
carried armfuls. So great has been the
crowds of shoppers with their bundle
that the streets have a MANILA colored
appearance. Some of the presents get
rough handling in the street cars during
the rush hours and things like a bonnet
or hat in a bag had rough voyage from
store to the owners home. But the
crowds all seemed to be in the very best
of humor. While thousands of local res
idents who work in New York made their
Christmas purchases in that city, the To-
cal merchants have little or ne complaint
as the capacity of their stores have been
taxed to their utmost capacity and their
forces of clerks. reinforced by extra hol-
iday clerks kept constantly on the go.
Old santa's stocks that over ran the
stores have in many instances been al
most depicted. The greatest rush Of pur-
chases will come this afternoon and to-
aight and by Monday night there will be
n many cases but LITTLE left of Chrits-
mas stocks to store away for next Christ
mas trade.

day in all the pubic schools, those OF

be on an elaborate scale, will conver the
