The law of separation of Church and
State has now been in operation in
France for two years. There has been
disappointment mingled with gratifica-
cation on all sides. Nothing has had
the result as predicted. The Roman
Catholics have not seen anything like
the storm of denunciation they expect
ed over the spoliation of the Church's
vast property. The Church, on the
other hand has gained a very desir-
able independence, and the priests
freed from many secular connections
and membranes, have more time and
| energy to bestow upon spiritual work
and bringing into the fold the luke
warm. The Bishops generally declare
that from a purely religious point oil

STORMS IN WEST VIRGINIA
BRING DEATH TO RESIDENTS
Bridges and Buildings Washed Away,

and Four Meet Death.

Plttsburg. -Conservative reports
from interior points of West Virginia
indicate that the floods caused by
storms and cloudbursts are receding
and that the damage will reach at
least half a million dollars. Four
deaths have thus far been reported.
The damage to the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad will reach 5000 900,
principally in tracks washed away.
The most damage to private prop
erty was at Newburg, where several
buildings were washed away and
nearly every house was flooded. A
church at Evansville Vas overturned
and washed away.
Near Elkins a cloudburst occurred
and the streets of the town were
flooded
At Washington, Pa, Thursday after
noon, the Hazel-Atlas Glass companys
plants were put out of business by
floods from overlooking streams, caus-
ing a loss of 100000 to this firm
alone. Street car traffic was crippled,
houses were washed away and the
CHARTERS valley for many miles is
strewn with debris
Bridges and buildings continue to
float down the river and the situa-
ton on the Baltimore & Ohio and
Western Maryland railroads is cha
otto. Train schedules have been an
nulled and the damage to highways
will reach several hundred thousand
dollars

POLITICIANS COME TO BLOWS.
Oklahoma Convention Turns Into
HoWIing, Fighting Mob.

Muskogee, l. Tan attempt by
Henry Asp, railroad attorney of
Guthrie, to address the Republican
county convention here on Thursday
converted the meeting into bowling
fighting mob.
Pistols were brandished, knives
flashed and chairs were welded right
and left, resulting in bruises and
minor injuries to several persons. Of
ficers with drawn pistols who threat
ened to shoot into the crowd if the
fighting did not stop failed to quell
the disturbance. United States Dep
uty Marshal Bud Ledbetter appeared
on the scene and practically took
charge of the meeting. Ledbetter,
who is a Democrat, saved Asp from
being mobbed and prevented blood
shed. Asp, pale and trembling, was
taken away from the meeting. The
trouble started when the anti-Frantz
and anti-statehood forces. Of which
Asp is a member. attempted to adj
dress the. meeting before the organi-
zation was perfected. The Frantz
forces were victorious in the test vote
for temporary chairman and the other
element then subsidized and quiet was
restored.

cAucMT TIE FAIR cULPRlr.
s,x the Naval Officer Recovered His
Lost Buttons.

II happened on one of the United
atatec cruisers now at Hampton roads,
laws the Washington. Herald. A lieu
tsnant having met two very charming
ladies while ashore, invited them on
hoard for luncheon. They came and
we're SHOWN over the ship. They lin
eered long in the lieutenant's room,
which was daintily furnished, and
they admired his photographs Of home.
When he was summoned on deck he
left them there. Returning, he took
them to luncheon and, having to go ON
duty In the afternoon, he excused him
self so as to get into uniform. Alas
he found that every button on his best
coat had been cut off and then he re-
membered that one of his fair guests
has been rather importunate on the
souvenir question. He got her alone
after luncheon and accused her of the
theft and after some prevarication she
confessed that the buttons were in her
ccrsage. With some firmness the lieu
tenant LED the culprit to his cabin,
pointed silently to the denuded coat
Oh the bunk, produced needle and
thread and, going out, locked the door
on the outside. In half an hour he
returned, unlocked the door, found
that his coat was once more in excel
lent order and then, with great gal
lantry, bowed the lady over the side.
She has not been invited to luncheon
On the same ship since.

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American indians.

The North American Indians of the
western coast have tradition that
roses were created without thorns.
So tall and fair they grew that. all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness Of
the roses abundant foliage. and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given its glory of roses. but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them,
and and tribes of roses were in dan
ger Of becoming extinct. In their eX-
tremity they held a council, for in
that PARKWAY morning of the world
plants as we'll as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had tale to tell
of suffering and disaster. At length
1t was decided to send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
of the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were manned
and torn and had suffered most 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
Gil discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes, beauty might pre-
vail in their cause
The conference was long and grave.
At its close an armory OF thorns was
given to every rose, and thus were the
tribes Of roses delivered from the en-
emies.-Circle Magazine.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Lies Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that it's new paid
business during the half year Just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21 ,660,761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were 11,180,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$1O,480,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
cOnting encieS 1t is money saved for
the aged, as we'll as money provided
for the families Of those who die pre-
maturely.

FRUSTRATED BY HEAT.
Hundreds of People Drop While
Watching EIks Parade.

Philadelphia.-Th parade of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks on Thursday was marked during
it's progress by the prOstratiOn from
heat of an army of persons estimated
by the police and hospital authori-
ties at $500. The number would
have been greater had it not been for
the eventual downpour of heavy
rain. Never has there been such
wholesale prostrating of people in the
city. For six hours the police, ambu-
lances, surgeons and the Red Cross
nurses were kept on the run looking
after persons who collapsed under the
scorching rays of the sun and largely
because of their excellent service but
one case resulted fatally. James
Rowley, aged "A years, of this city,
died in a hospital after being strick-
en- in the street. The other stricken
persons are said to be in good condi-
ton. with no prospect of fatal results.
