NEUTRAL TO ALL CHURCHES
FRENCH MINISTER OF PUBLIC
WORSHIP DISCUSSES SEP.
ARATION LAW.

Paris, Nov 5.-The minister of pub
lie instruction and worship, NJ BRAND
has announced In an authorized inter
view that the government did not
regard the Catholic church as being in
revolt against the law providing for
the separation of the church and state
or against the state.
The Catholic church having simply
declined to take advantage OF its priv
ilege, under the law, as the other re-
ligions did, on Dec. IL, would forfeit
its $SO,000.00O Of property and there
after would live under the common
law There would be neither martyr
dom nor prosecutions Of the faithful.
The churches, as state and communal
property, would remain open for Cath
Ollie worship. The object for which
the Republican party in France had
struggled for thirty years, the min
lister said, had been achieved.
The concordat was at an end, the
state would no longer contribute to
the support of any religion and priests
would no longer enjoy privileges. In
both their duties and obligations they
would be on an equality with other
citizens. In other words, the state
was at least neutral towards all re-
ligious and would permit the exercise
of all of them, with special favors to
none.

most wonderful feat of arctic explor-

the explorer by Herbert l.. Bridgman
of Brooklyn, secretary Of the Peary

in 145 words.
Commander Peary reached 81 de-
grees minutes. He thus got 32 min
utes nearer to the North pole than
the Duke d'Abruzzi expedition did in
1900. The latters record of sc de-
grees "a minutes has stood for num-
ber of years. Peary also went further
west than Sedrich did in 1876.
Peary probably reached within 2O3
miles of the North pole. He surpassed
the d'Abruzzi party by about thirty
miles.
This was Pearys fifth attempt to
reach the pole. The other sledge

Twelve Years for One Cent.

If any ambitious thug contemplates holding up mail cairier he would better change lis mind and hold up a national bank. It is safer. Twelve years ago Edward De France, an eighteen-year-oldN Nebraskan, got drunk and held up mail carrier near Cor don. Neb. He only got one cent, but was arrested, tried, convicted, and, under the federal statutes, sentenced to life term in the penitentiary,
 De France was friendless and was soon forgotten. The judge who sent enced him intended to recommend a pardon after two years, but died sud- denly, and the other court.Officials were succeeded by others who did not know De France. The prison chaplain at Sioux Falls became interested in De- France, learned his story and appealed to President Mckinley, who committed the sentence to fifteen years. Three years were taken off for good behavior.
