CARDINAL ISSUES STATEMENT
Denies Any Parallel Between Franco
and the United states.

Baltimore. Nd, Dec l9-Cardiual Glib
bons tonight, through his secretary. is
sued d statement denying that there is
any parallel between the Catholic Church
in France and the United States. and
charging France with unfaithfulness to
its obligations and confscating property
without due process of law. The cardinal
states.
Honest men do not hold that they
have acquitted themselves of their OBJ
legations by letting their due bills run
till they are dusty and grimy with age.
Neither do they question that the legiti-
mate heirs Of their creditors succeed to
their lawful rights of their testators.
and, as right-minded moralists. do not set
up one code of conduct for private in
dividuals, another for public functionar-
les. they hold that the law Thou shalt
not steal applies 10 States as well as citi-
zens
This higher view Is just the one which
the French government took OF their OBJ
legation as embodied in that solemn form
of bilateral contract known as the con
cordat. Varied as have been the fortunes
of France in the matter of government
during the century and more since she
entered into this compact with the
church. whose existence she has not been
able to ignOre-no, not even in this hour
when she would gladly do so-she has
never till quite recently. dreamed Of re-
pudiating the obligations she then con-
tracted
And in this she has simply been TAX
ing the view which all Christiandom has
taken OF such cOmpdcts. Is rot this
the way our own country regarded the
question lately raised regarding the
friars' lands in the Philippines, and of
our church property IN Porto Rico? See
ing that we had succeeded to the rights
of Spain in these islands, We did not balk
at assuming her responsibilities along
with them.

A GREAT EARTHQUAKE
San Francisco Almost Destroyed by
Earthquake and Fire

Last Wednesday morning, about
five O'Clock San Francisco and near
nv towns were visited by the most
destructive volcano that ever visited
this country, Block after block OF
the best buildings in the city OF San
Francisco were utterly destroyed.
Lofty and magnificent buildings
were crushed like egg shells.
Many of the finest hotels AND
theatres we're ruined as well as
churches and public buildings of all
kinds. To increase the destruction,
fire broke out at once in various
portions of the city and swept every
thing before it, unmolested tor
hours. The water mains were brok
en- and the fire companies could not
operate. Finally dynamite was used
and buildings blown up in front OF
the flames to check their progress.
The Leland Stanford university
building; are said to be IN ruins.
Reports now claim that half the
city is destroyed and 200 people
are killed and some 1000 injured.
The property loss is estimated at
over $Ioo, 900, 900.
Everything is chaotic and uncer-
tain at this writing and it is hoped
that the damage will not be so great
as now reported. However, it is
very bad and every badly has lost
interest in the eruptionS of Vesu-
VluS.

THE FIRST BACHELOR

When Adam "batched' in Paradise
before the cook had come,
He found his homework lrksome anu
it was neglected some.
Ad wasn't lazy, eiUGer-he was up al
early dawn
But he wouldn't air the bedding and
he wouldn't sweep the lawn;
And the serpent heard him mutterlng'
II wou'u wear any clo'es
Until | find a good fig leaf on which
the button grows"
Beneath the couch Edenic was col
lected such store
OF miscellaneous rubbish as was never
seen before;
While in the primal kitchen was a
mess which, | declare,
Was quite enough itself to make a
Christian woman swear.
Then the Lord looked IN upon him
and He gave an awful groan.
ut is not good, l see, he said, that
man should be alone"
And all terrestrial troubles from that
very date began,
For Adam soon thereafter had become
family man"
He had planted hogs IN Eden, sown
his garden sass" and ihrived,
But he left the dishes standing Till
the day that Eve arrived.
