expression OF BLING allegiance to the Pontin

The Pope Is represented as being greatly
shocked by France ousting Cardinal Richard
from his archiepiscopal palace In view OF his
great age, i'll health and decrepitude. HIS
Holiness has telegraphed Offering him the
use OF the nunciature In Paris, which Is
the actual property OF the Vatican, blessing
him and warmly sympathizing with him.
The anti-Clerical societies here continue
their triumphant manifestations. Several
have telegraphed congratulations to M.
Clemenoeau. The Freemasons join in con-
graduating their French brethren. The
Grand Orient Of Italy has telegraphed the
Grand Orient OF France, saying:
France to-day is taking a fresh and Ia
nous step in the direction Of the mancipa-
ton Of mankind by inscribing a memorable
date in the golden book Of civil conquests.
We send fraternsl greeting to you who

TRYPSTN AS A CANCER CURE.
Tests In London Hospital ail-ExDeri-
ments on Animals.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, Dec. l2.-The report 81 Prof.
W. j. Morton's successful experiments in
the treatment of cancer by means Of tryp-
sin, c5mbinei with DR.. c.. W. S~aleeby's
writings on the same subject her have
aroused interest in all sections of the COM
munity. Inquiries at the chief cancer
hospital of London, in Fulham road, show
that the use Of trypsin there has not been
accompanied by the success reported from
America.
For the last six months half a dozen
patients have been under the trypsin treat
ment, but not one result has been favorable.
OF the patients selected non was going
down hill or in such condition that nothing
would lave done any good. The trypsin
used was active. 1t would digest egg
albumen.
The hospital authorities, asked to account
for its success in America and failure in
London, said they could not account for
anything Of which they did not know the
full circumstances. II must always be
borne in mind that many reported cures of
cancer were found not to be cancer at all.
They first wanted to know beyond all doubt
IL the disease was cancer clinically and
miscroscopically.
When DR.. Beard OF Edinburgh was quoted
as having cured anc in mice with trypsin
the reply was to the effect that the value OF
the experiment was handicapped by the
fact that the growths induced in mice by
incubation also disappear spontaneously
without the use of trypsin.
Cases are reported Of tumors disappear
ing from the human body, but they are
very rare. Cases had been found where
small, isolated nodules had disappeared
without treatment. The hospital has tried
everything, but hitherto the expected results
had not appeared. The representative of
the hospital added:
In the meantime we are clearing ground,
We are now working on the disease in ami
mails. and we think we will probably learn
a great deal more about il. We cannot say
we have made any direct cures under special
treatment. Fair results have been obtained
with radium in certain rodent ulcers, but
we know Of no successful treatment beyond
the knife, and that early. ! see that Prof.
Morton speaks Of results with amylopsin.
We have not tried that yet. We have simply
used trypsin.'

Special Cable Despatch to THE SuN.
HAVANA, Dec. 12.-The Ayuntamiento is
investigating the sale by the Catholic Church
of the Espada Cemetery to Judge Reilly.
A report on the subject states that the
Church sold 2s,OOO metres Of land Of the old
cemetery TO Judge Reilly for $1,000 while
il was valued at si4 per metre.
The old Ayuntamiento in 1904 attempted
to purchase the same property for $4,000
despite the fact, according to the report,
that it belongs to the city. The report
complains Of the destruction Of tombs,
the stones thereof being used for floors
in a private house, referring to the resi-
dence of Senior Frias in C~ienfuegos.
The report states that as the property
belonged to Havana the Church had no
right to sell il. A map Of the city, show
ing that it belonged to Havana. has disap-
peared, but those responsible for the
transaction did not count on the reap
pesrance Of the original map, which is
in the possession Of the San Lazaro Hos
pital. which adjoins the cemetery.
This map shows that the LAM was des-
| tined by the city to be used az a park.
Councilman Mendoza said that prominent
civilians appeared to be compromised as
well as high dignitaries of the Church, the
civilians having received money for labor
against the interests of the city.
Senior Azcarate said that when the Ayunta-
miento decided to transfer the remains
OF some prominent Cubans from the Espada
10 the Colon cemetery an attempt was
made to discover the grave Of Escobedo,
a prominent Cuban. The engineer In
charge Of the work stated that his vault
and the remains had disappeared.
1t was finally decided to refer the matter
TO a special committee TO determine how
best to bring the question before the courts
and establish the claim of the city.

married to James +. A.. Clark. a Boston
banker. The bride was given away by
Capt. Jaffray. Count Ward was best man.
The wedding was tohave been the smart

invitations were issued. At the last mo-
ment, however, the brides health broke
down and il was announced hat in conse-
quence the ceremony would be private.
The main reason, however. for the change
in plans was the difficulty Of finding a West
End church TO perform the ceremony,
owing to the fact that the bridegroom ia a
divorced man. Both st. Georges, Hanover
Square, and st. Marks, North Audley
street, refus ed to marry the couple.
Mrs. Bigelow, Count Ward, Capt. Jahray
and Lord Edward Pelham Clinton signed

HALDEMAN,S SIDE BEGUN.
British and Mercantile Manager Tells OF
pie to Mutual Policyholders.
Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, Dec. 12.-When the trial OF the
suit OF the Mutual Life Insurance Company
OF New York against D. @. Haldeman and
the North British and Mercantile Insurance
Company was resumed to-day PLAINTIFFS
counsel, addressing the Court, said thai May
10. the day on which Haldeman left the ser
vice Of the Mutual and on which the circular
was sent to the po~licyholders of the Mutual
urging them to transfer to the North British,
marked the point at which Haldeman
stepped from that which was disloyal and
d~ishonorable TO that which was illegal.
He declared that Notwithstanding the
fact that Haldeman had been instructed
from New York not to enlarge the policy
holders committee or to influence policy
holders with a view to their joining the
COMMITTEES, he had continued anvassing for
further support for his committee and dis
tributing information Of a more or less conf
7 Dental character. hus when the circular
OF NAV 10 was issued it fell upon soil that
was ready TO receive IL.
Cornelius NJ. Warrington, K. c., in open
! ing for the defendants, said that the plain
tiffs complained that the circular issued on
May 10 by the pol~icyholders' committee
had almost entirely suppressed the fact
that the plaintiffs approved the constitution
of such committee and it's course OF action.
II half that the plaintiffs had suggested were
true the proper defendants should have
been the committee. As 20 the damages
alleged to have beer suffered by the
plaintiffs. counsel declared the plaintiffs
had been unable to produce a single policy
holder who had surrendered his policy
who could say he had surrendered 1t by
reason of wrongful acts on the part OF
Haldeman.
Mr.. Cockburn; manage OF the North
British and Mercantile, was the first OF
the defendants witnesses to take the stand.
He testified 10 seeing a suggestion in the
Times that British policyholders In the
Mutual would do we'll TO sever themselves
from the parent company. He wrote to
Haldeman, with the approval of his di-
rectors, contemplating a transference, en
bloc, of the Mutual's business in the United
Kingdom to the North British. He received
no reply.
He saw that his suggestion was i'm
possible Of realization; but later, be-
lieving that something might be done to
increase the business Of the North British,
he approached Haldeman by letter, sug-
costing the idea OF his taking up an ap-
pointment with the North British. Halde-
man replied that before deciding he would
like to know what the North British would
propose regarding the Mutual pohcyholders
The witness said he wrote to Halde-
man on May 3 proposing that each policy
holder pay to the North British the sur
render value received by him from the
Mutual.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Odd as it seems, the
rapid increase of automobiling in Great
Britain is held to be answerable for the
spread Of CHAMBERS among horses in the
country. The accusation was brought at

CHAMBERS was formerly almost entirely con-

Since horse ira ffc in the metropolis has
been largely and increasingly replaced by

the country by the sale there OF London's
abandoned horses.
Meanwhile the disease is correspondingly
decreasing in London.

GRAPE-NUTs.
AFTER TYPHOID
The Unsuitable Appetite Must BE Carefully
Watched.

An attack OF typhoid fever usually leaves
one with an enor nous appetite. The
wasted body cries out for food material
to repair the loss OF body tissues.
II care is not used the weakened digestive
organs may be overwhelmed before they
ave become strong.
There is nofood that has the tissue-build-
ing and energy-producing qualities equal
to Grape-Nuts.
This food is predigested-the organs are
relieved Of the necessity Of digesting il; It
is concentrated-afording much nourish-
ment with little bulk; contains all the essen
tial food elements for repair and energy.
II is therefore valuable under conditions Of
health as we'll as convalesence.
