FRENCH CHURCH CONTROVERSY.
Senator eeveridge Of Indiana Ex-
REESE His Opinion.

presses IT'S OplnIOns
Washington, Feb. 13.-In discussing
the controversy between the French
government and the Vatican Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, in a speech at
Carroll institute, in part said:
with the purely governmental con-
troversy between any nation and its
citizens OF subjects we Americans. as
a nation, have nothing to do. In such
questions we Americans as individ.
uals may have u personal opinion.
but not an official opinion. But when
any government on earth grounds its
policy in an attack on religion itself
then 1t Is time for all men who be-
lieve In the gospel to speak. out in
protest. For such ar attack Is the
beginning of a movement against all
religion and it's end is to dethrone the
Saviour of the world as the sovereign
of the spiritual and moral empire Of
mankind. It affects all churches
equally.
II wonder If men who talk so boldly
of exterminating our faith understand
what would happen If that faith were
dethroned. How long do you suppose
the republic would last If all the
churches were turned into factories
and all the preachers and priests
ministers of the same gospel-ceased
forever their holy vocation? How long
would society itself endure? Men
have rebelled against the intolerance
of dogma; men should no less rebel
against the intolerance Of politics.
Men have resisted intolerance of the
church, both Protestant and Catholic;
men should no less resist the intoler-
ance of the state whether republican
or m~onarchial."

sEssIoN'pF HOUSE OF COMMONS
JUST OPENED PROMISES TO
BE MOST IMPORTANT.
ATTACK on HOUSE OF LORDS PLANNED
INCREASED HOME RULE FOR IRE.
LAND AND ARMY REFORMS
ALSO ON PROGRAMME.

London, Feb. 13.-The second ses-
sion of the second parliament Of the
present reign, which promises to be
:ull Of interest and Importance as a
consequence Of the projected Liberal
attack on the house of lords and the
Introduction of an installment Of home
rule for Ireland, was opened by King
Edward with all the imposing cere-
monies which has attended these
functions since his accession.
The speech from the throne fore.
Swallowed a full and busy session de-
voted to Ireland, army reforms and
temperance, apart from the over
shadowlng question of the house of
lords. The rest Of the speech was
devoted to the proposed licensing bill,
the object of which is to diminish the
drink evil; proposals for the improve
ment Of the army organization and
Irish local government and education
questions and a number of minor
measures, including the establishment
of a court of criminal appeal. On the
Irish question the king said:
your attention will be called to
measures for further associating the
people of Ireland with the manage
ment of their domestic affairs and
otherwise improving their system Of
government in its administrative and
financial aspects. Proposals will also
be submitted to you for effecting a
reform of university education in Ire
land, by which, I trust, that the diff
culties which have so long retarded
higher education in that country may
be removed"
Sop to Woman S%uffragists.
Among the domestic legislation fore
Swallowed in the speech from the
throne was "a bill enabling women to
serve IN local bodies," evidently in
tended as a sop to the woman suf.
fragists.
Serious questions" said the king,
affecting the working of our parlia.
mentary system have arisen from the
unfortunate differences between the
two houses. My ministers have this
important subject under consideration
with the view of a solution of the
difficulty"
After the usual reference to the
good relations prevailing between
Great Britain and other powers the
speech deplored the loss of business
and destruction of property resulting
from the earthquake at Kingston.
Il have seer with satisfaction" said
the king, that the emergency has
been met by the governor and his off,
GERS with courage and devotion and
by the people with s%elf-control. The
occasion mas called forth many proofs
of practical good will from all parts
of my country and I recognize with
sincere gratitude the sympathy shown
by che people of the United States and
the assistance promptly offered by
their authorities"
The points in the kings speech
which attracted the most attention
we're the references to the Kingston
disaster and the house of lords. When
his majesty spoke gratefully of the
assistance rendered by the American
navy to the earthquake sufferers he
turned in the direction of the diplo-
matte body and bowed to Ambassador
Reid.

REMAINDER OF THE PASSENGERS
AND CREW DROWN OR PER-
90
isH OF EXPOSURE.
DESPERATE BATTLE WITH HIGH SEAS
REFUGEES IN SMALL BOATS UN.
ABLE TO REACH SAFETY
ON FRAlL CRAFT.

Block Island, R. l., Feb. 13.-Only
nineteen out of an estimated total OF
from $50 to 200 persons survived the
sinking Of the Joy line steamer Larch-
mont in Block Island sound during the
night. Of the saved eight were pas
six men and two women, and
the rest were members of the crew,
including Captain McVey. The Larch-
mont, which was bound from Provi-
dence, r. l., to New York, went down
.1ter colliding with the schooner
Harry Knowlton. The survivors
reached this island in small boats. In
the boats which carried the survivors
were the bodies Of several passengers
who had frozen to death during the
trip from the wreck to the land.
1t is impossible to accurately fix the
number Of those lost. Captain McVey
estimated the number of passengers
as $50 and the crew as fifty. On the
basis of these figures the number OF
those who persisted was placed at ISL.
The bodies of the victims OF the
disaster were being washed ashore
constantly. By noon eighteen a
been taken from the water.
The collision between the Larch-
mont and the schooner occurred about
three miles eff Watch Fill, r. l. The
Harry knowltCn, which was bound
from South Amboy for Boston with
coal, foundered a few hours after the
accident, but Captain Frank I. Haley
and crew of six men escaped in the
ships boats and reached shore at
Watch Hill.
Boats Swamped by High Seas.
According to Captain McVey of the
Larchmont the steamer remained
afoat barely ten minutes afte- the
collision. Boats and RATS were
launched hastily and in them passen-
gers and crew waged a desperate bat
tie with high seas and strong gales.
The night vas extremely cold and
many died from exposure. Five boats
and four RATS, carrying nineteen sur
vivors and the bodies of eleven dead,
managed to reach Block Island. Sur
viyors expressed the opinion that all
ON board the Larchmont had secured
places In boats or RATS, but that many
of the boats were swamped and many
persons were swept away by the seas
or had fallen overheard overcome by
the cold.
Captain McVey said he could not
estimate the exact loss Of life at this
time. His steamer left Providence
late in the evening and at the time of
the collision Captain McVey had not
had an opportunity to examine the
passenger list, which had been hand
ed to him just before his steamer left
Providence. The captains estimate
Of the number of those on board
agrees, however, with the estimate
made by the Joy line officials at
Providence, who said that the Larch-
mont carried about $50 passengers
and a crew of fifty.
The inhabitants of all parts of the
island turned out to assist in rescue
work, although many of them live
several miles from the point off which
the steamer sank. The northwest
gale continued, with zero tempera-
ture, throughout the forenoon.

chosen president of the Meadville Saw
ings bank and owner of the fastest
trotter on the Meadville county fair
race track. He looked at her helpless
" and cleared his throat.
"But we could keep a hired girl, FL
len," he said, and, Frightening, you
could drive Fanny G. wherever you
liked. You wouldn't be tied down.
We'd run up to Chicago often to the
theater. You would have a much
easier time than any of the girls" he
finished proudly.
Ellen looked at him a moment pity
ingly. How apparent were the limita-
tons Of his mind! Then she fired a
death dealing bomb into the enemy's
camp.
"1'm going to study art" she said
triumphantly.
"Ellen, mol" The horror in his voice
was genuine.
Years ago another rebellious maiden
Of Meadville had expressed the same
resolve. and it was like ''Jane, Jane.
she never was the same" There were
dark hints Of unseemly behavior. and
the girl never became IN artist and
never returned home. To young Max
wells mind his sweetheart was as
good as lost already, though lie broach-
ed the possibility of marrying him and
then seeking the higher plane. which
the dullness Of Meadvifle seemed to
render imperative, but she quickly
snatched the heart out of him.
NO." she said; II shall be welded
to my art instead. 1t isn't that l want
to do it exactly" she added, in a quick
pity. Maybe some time I'll find that
you are the best, Elton, but not now
I must try. Pm 20 deathly sick of
matrimony by the job lott"
The amateurish daubs on the four
sides Of the little parlor appeared
frightfully fat and unpromising as she
turned from watching Elton walk
down the street, the spring gone from
his step, his face paler than she had
ever seen 1t. But she must try! A year
ago she would have given her two eyes
for the love she had so lightly refused
today, but that was before she had
climbed the hill Of knowledge and re-
allied that her only habitation thence
forth must be in the realm of art. not
stale old Meadville. She was packed,
ready to 60 the moment the director Of
the big art school shouSd say the word.
Her father stepped gingerly into the
best room.
"a letter, Ellen. Must be from that
art school. Have you got your things
all packed ready to go?. I reckon you'll
come back bout the biggest picter
painter in the country. Won't scarcely
know us then, will you?'
The unwonted tenderness In her IA
theirs voice and the real misgiving In
the last sentence, Ill disguised by the
short laugh, made her heart suddenly
contract. How good every one was to
her! Even her father and mother were
ready to sacrifc painfully, even to the
point Of placing her on a plane where
she would be ashamed to recognize
them as her humble Meadville parents
if thereby she would be- rendered
happy.
She scluny TO her father In IN unac-
customed, wholly demonstratve fash

II BAD SHAPE ii Ausus1 LAST
MANNER HAS SINCE CHANGED
FROM "sToRM AND STRESS"
TO "cALM AND QUIET"

New York, Feb. 13.-The defense in
the Thaw a continued during the
day with the Introduction of expert
testimony as to the condition Of the
iefendant's mind during the several
months following the tragedy Of the
Madison Square Roof Garden.
"We do this" explained Mr.. Del
mas, Thaw's leading counsel, Gin or.
der that the jury, by means of the
wreckage OH the beach, may infer that
there has been a storm upon the wa
ters." -s
The witness, who occupied the en-
tire morning session, was DR.. Britton
D. Evans, superintendent Of the state
hospital for the insane at Morris
Plains, N. J. DR.. Evans declared that
when he first visited Thaw in the
Tombs on Aug. 4 there were many in
dications of the brain storm or ok
plosive or Illuminating condition Of
mental unsoundness through which he
had recently passed."
It now became evident for the first
time in court that the defense is en-.
%deavoring to show to the jury that
while Thaw was insane prior to the
killing of Stanford White and at the
time and Immediately subsequent to
the homicide the alienists who visited
him in the Tombs found that as their
visits progressed his manner changed
from ''storm and stress to calm
and quiet" DR.. Evans testimony bore
out this contention.
Questions GuardedIy Drawn.
The expert at great length de-
scribed the various forms of insanity
whose symptoms he discovered at the
time of his first visit to Thaw, but
District Attorney Jerome could not in
duce Mr.. Delmas to put a direct ques-
ton to DIR. Evans as to his opinion as
to the sanity or insanity of the de-
PENDANT on later visits md examina-
tions.''
DR.. Evans described Thaw's manner
in the Tombs in August last as n of
exaltation-"of exaggerated ego and
self-importance." He declared the
defendant at no time betrayed the
slightest apprehension as to any great
impending personal danger.
Replying to questions of. Mr.. Del
mas DR.. Evans said that as the result
of his first three visits he reached the
opinion that Thaw was of unsound
mind. AS a result of his last five
visits DR.. Evans said he reached the
opinion that Thaw's mental condition,
while still impaired, was improved
over his first visit. i

TUMORS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. PinIhaHss
 Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable Com pound Is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor,
 The growth of . tumor is so in- sidious that frequently it's presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced.
 So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh.
 If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, made from native roots and herbs, right away and begin it's use.
 The following letters should con vince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors.
 Mrs. May Fry, of sSe W. COlfax Ave. South Bend, Ind, writes; Dear Mrs. Pinkham :--
 ''I take great pleasure in writ ing to thank you for what Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst tumor of four years growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. am very thankful that followed friends advice and took your medicine. It has made fie strong and we'll woman and shall recommend it as long as live ."
 Mrs. E. F. Hayes. of 9s Ruggles St. , Boston, Mass. writes:

The young King had been badly wounded in an engagement and now lay seriously i'll ~A kg,.e
 As Wallace sat In his tent on the evening of the day when the last Southron had been driven across the border there came to him the Knight of the Green Plume. -"I have fought by your side, Sir William Wallace" said the knight. q would gladly have died to shield you in the hour of battle. You have my life in your hands; look upon me and say whether I am to live or die, for without your regard I can not liveP The knight raised his visor and disclosed the features of the wid- owed Countess of Mar.
 "Be my husband. Wallace" she cried, "aud all right shall perish before my love and your aggrandizement. In these arms you shall bless the day you first saw Johanna of Strathearn."

 Lady Mar looked steadfastIy at him. "Then receive my last determination" cried she. and plunged a dagger into his breast. He caught the arm as 1t struck. but the blow reached suffi- ciently to cause a torrent of blood to gush out, and hissing, 'I have killed thee, insolent man." AAe turned to go.
