What "GnlIu.e. Mean.

The "gallus" marks the freeman and

girdle OF sharks teeth; In Senegam-

years back. the dudes used to wear
sashes. But find man who. when he
throws or his coat to begin his daily
toll, lays bare pair Of heavy, sky
blue galluses. and you'll find a man
who pays his way In the world, loves
his wife, rears his children In the fear
OF the Lord and votes the straight

Protest Against Course of French Gov
eminent.
The note of the Vatican to all the
papal representatives abroad, protest
ing against the course of France, aft
er asserting that the rights of religion
have been outraged by the French gov
ernment's action in preventing the
head of the church from communicate
ing with the French hierarchy and by
the expulsion of Mgr. Montagnini, sec
rotary of the Papal Nunciature at
Paris, says:
"The representatives of the Holy
See abroad have also received a cir
cular in which are set forth the mo-
tives for the action of the Vatican
regarding the application of the
church and state law of 1905. These
motives are so grave that it is evil
IDENTIFY impossible to accuse the Holy
See of intransigence or of unjust hos
tility to the French government in con-
demning the cultural association
which disregards the essential rights
the church derived from her constitu-
| ton, such as maintaining an eccle-
siastical hierarchy established by her
divine founder as the basis of the or
ganization of the church.
I'm fact, the law conferred on the
cultural associations rights which not
only belong exclusively to the ecclesi-
astical authorities in the place of wor-
ship and in possessing and admin
lstering ecclesiastical property, but the
same associations were rendered indie
pendent of the hierarchy and instead
we're placed under the jurisdiction of
the lay authorities. The pontiff could
not approve of such associations with
out being lax in his duty as head Of
the church and without trampling
upon the Fundamental domestic prin-
ciples of the church.
"The same can be said of M. Brands
circular. The Holy See could not adj
nit the unjust and intolerable condi-
tons which the circular imposed upon
the clergy in the exercise of their
duties.
"All this evidently shows that the
Holy See merely did its duty strictly
in giving instructions on the subject
to the French clergy. II the French
government was animated by calmer
sentiment it could create for the
church in France a situation which at
least would not injure the essential
rights of the Holy See which might
even without admitting the principle
of separation of church and state.
tolerate such a situation in order to
avoid worse evils. as it did in the case
Of other countries"

BROWN DENIES CHILDREN.
Cuts OFF, In His VIII, Offspring Of
Mrs. Bradley.

EANe OAAI ~ ANio WIN OHeHN NY ~
Mrs. Bradley.
Salt Lake City-Had the late Sena-
or Arthur Brown foreseen his death at
he hands of Mrs. Anna Bradley, he
could not have devised no more ingen-
lous retaliation than the post morten
revenge contained in his will. The
document, which was written August
"A. 1906 four months beore Mr.. Brown
was shot down at the Raleigh hotel in
Washington, has been filed for pro
bate.
81 do not devise, or give or bequeath
anything to any of the children of Mrs.
Anna Bradley" is the language Of the
will Il do not think either or any
child born to Mrs. Anna NJ Bradley
Is or are mine, but whether such child
0r children is or not l expressly pro-
vide that neither nor any of them shall
receive anything of my estate.
81 have never married Anna NJ.
Bradley and never intend to. If she
should pretend that any such relation
ever existed between us to justify
such inference. / direct my executors
TO contest any claims of any kind she
may present and l direct that she re-
ceive nothing from my estate"
The testator bequeaths all his prop
arty, valued at about $4,000, to his
wo children by his first and second
wives, Alice Brown and Max Brown.
Contest Is Probable.
The children so specifically disin-
herlted are Arthur, aged Z, and Mark,
aged years. The attorney engaged
by Mrs. Bradley's relatives in Salt
Lake decline to discuss the will at
his time, but there is scarcely a ques-
ton that a contest will be instituted
as much for the purpose o establishing
heir paternity as to secure a none
tary consideration. This is the more
likely as Mrs. Bradley is, or was a
few months ago, in possession of let
ters signed with Browns name in
which the relationship to one or both
Of the children is acknowledged. In
one Of these letters. written after the
birth Of the first child, appears the fol-
lowing quotation:
Your blood and mine commingled,
yet shall mount the throne of kings"
The contents Of the will have caused
a sensation in Salt Lake.

Lengthen Hours of Pupils in the New
York Schools.
The December grand jury of Kings
county New York state. after the ex-
animation of several members of the
board of education and the principals
of the Brooklyn high schools, handed in
a presentment to County Judge Aspin-
wall condemning certain school meth
DDS. The presentment demands that
home study by the pupils cease and
that instead the daily hours at school
be increased by one hour each day and
the curriculum be changed so that a
large part Of this additional hour be
devoted to supervised study. The
grand jury finds that the curriculm
for 16 year old pupils is much harder
than it was a few years ago and that
students are being forced far beyond
their capacity to assimilate knowledge
Such a system, it declares, can result
only in weakened memories and physi-
cal debility.

The STRATHCONA, OFF COAST
NEAR HALIFAX, N. S.
Despite Efforts Of Crew, the Flames
Spead Rapidly-Enalneer and Fire
Steamer Was Beached, Thereby Saw
ing All the Passengers.

Halifax, N. s., Dec. 24-Word was
received here Sunday from Port Duff
FERN, a small coast town some 60 miles
east of this city, of the destruction by
fire of the passenger steamer Strath-
coma, owned by the Halifax & Canso
Steamship company, and bound from
this port for Canso and Guysboro.
That no lives we're lost is due princi-
pally to the heroism of the engineer
and fremen, who stuck to their posts
until the steamer was beached and
every one of the $50 passengers land
ed. In less than an hour after the
Bleaching Of the steamer she was burn
ed to the waters edge.
The Strathcona left here Saturday
evening under the command of Cap
tain Reid. Most of the passengers
we're returning to their homes along
the east coast, after a few days of
Christmas shopping in Halifax. A few
hours after leaving port fire was dis
covered in the after hold. Despite
the efforts of the officers and crew,
the flames spread rapidly.
Passengers Scantily Gowned.
When the cry OF fire was raised the
widest confusion reigned. The pas
sengers, most of them clad only in
| their night clothes, rushed on deck
and made dash for the lifeboats, but
the crew prevented a panic. The boats
were not launched, but were made
ready for use in case the flames COM
pletely enveloped the steamer before
land could be reached. The terror
stricken passengers we're huddled to-
| gether in the bow OF the ship, which
was headed for Port Dufferin, the
nearest place on the treacherous
coast, where the steamer could find a
harbor.
Runs at Top Speed for Land.
While the Strathcona was driven to-
ward land at top speed. the sailors
tried to fight back the flames with
| streams of water. The drat. caused
by the steamers rapid progress how
ever, famed the flames into greater
fury, and in a short time the entire
interior portion of the vessel was on
fire. Down in the engine rooms the
engineers and firemen stuck bravely to
their posts, although the flames had
begun to surround them.
To Shore in Small Boats.
Not until the keel of the steamer
| grated on a reef a mile from the en-
trance to the harbor, did they abandon
their dangerous position and rush to
the deck. Then boats were lowered
and all tn, passengers foun safet,
on shore.
The Strathcona was only two years
old and was valued at $4,000.
Not long ago the Strathcona ran
into and sank the sailing steamer Ha-
vana in Halifax harbor and was con-
demned to pay $4,000 damages.
