Priest RenIien 20 pone.

In his reply to Pope Plus X, for which
he has been virtually communicated
by the head of the church, Father Tyr
rel1, the English Jesuit, refuses to accept
the implications Of the Pope's document
that he, as Modernist, places himself
outside the pale of the church. In Sc
we're terms he arraigns the document for
identifying true Catholicism with a sci
enee theory and psychology that are as
strange as astrology TO the modern mind,
and are practically unknown outside sem
mary walls, save to the historian of phi
losophy." He says the encyclical as an
argument falls dead for every one who
regards its science theory as obsolete !;
for all who believe that truth has not
been stagnating for centuries in theolog-
ical Summaries, but has been steadily
streaming on with ever-increasing force
and volume in the channels which liberty
has opened to its progress, lie charac-
terizes the document as "a clear and
final demonstration of the futility of pour
ing new wine into old bottles; of the at
tempt TO gather the experiences of the
twentieth century under the categories Of
the thirteenth; of coming to terms
with an age that is dead and buried
in word, Of coquetting with the impos-
sibie."

EMERGENCY CHECKS ARE
AUTHORIZED BY BANKS.
Clearing House Decides Issuance
of Scrip Will Help Local
Financial Situation.

At meeting of the Chicago Clearing
House Association, which was attended
by representatives of the ninsseen
member banks, it was decided, upon
recommendation of the Clearing House
committee, to issue checks Of small de-
nominations, to be used as medium of
exchange in lieu of currency until such
sumo specie payments. The new checks
will be IN denominations of 81, 81, So
and $40, and will be issued by the
Chicago Clearing House Association in
payment of clearing house certificates
of large denominations, which have
been previously issued to the banks.
1t was decided, for the convenience
of handling them, that the checks will
be drawn on only four member banks
of the association. These banks are
the First National, the Corn Exchange
National, the Continental National and
the Commercial National. When any
bank in the Clearing House Associa-
tion desires a supply of the checks
it must present to the manager of that
organization clearing house certificates
of the larger denominations for the
amount of small checks it applies for
The checks of small denominations,
which are guaranteed by the clearing
house, will then be drawn, based on
one Of the banks designated, in pay
ment of the clearing house certificates
to the association, and the checks will
be made payable to the bank which APP
piled for them, or bearer, and will,
therefore, be transferable from one hold
er to another without Endorsement.
Banks receiving the checks will pay
them out to customers for pay roll pur-
poses and they will pass into the hands
of employees, from them into the hands
of merchants and others, and from the
latter back into the banks, which will
accept them as deposits

CHICAGO.

Steady Improvement appears in
financial conditions. further gold inn
portations, Increasing note circulation
and larger use OF checks in place OF
specie making 1t easier to view the out
look with confidence. The pressure for
currency is gradually finding relief. and
with the liquidation and establishments
in process return to normal condi.
tions is closer at hand. Pay roll needs
are now more easily provided for. and
the new medium of exchange conserves
moneys at the banks and is readily ac-
cepted in ordinary transactions.
Savings banks depositors have yirtu-
ally ceased giving withdrawal notices.
and there is more activity In New York
exchange Foreign buying of products
is vet in excess of year ago, and
continuation of this favorable factor
seems likely and viii provide the means
for additional purchases of gold abroad
to strengthen local bank resources.
Mercantile collections are no worse
than expected, and. while there are
failures makes better exhibit than
for both last week and year ago.
Dlstrbutive trade is favored by sen
sonable weather, and advices as to both
local and interior activity In the neces-
saries remain satisfactory. 1t is for
tunate that stocks of fall and winter
goods are not excessive. Most buyers
bought consevatively in advance, and
those now in the market limit selec-
| lions TO aseertained needs. Dealings
in the principal lobbing branches thus
| far this year make new high records
and the present curtaled buying is NOT
regardedsas more than temporary. The
movement of holiday goods shows salts
factory proportions.
Receipts of raw materials for fac
tory consumption fall below those at
this time last year. an indication that
there is no unhealthy pressure upon
forwarders, and the prices for finished
products have undergone no especial
change. More closing down of plants
for repairs and reduction in hands and
working hours appear TO be mainly for
the purpose of bridging over the diff
Guilty in obtaining funds.
The lack of currency throughout the
agricultural sections accounts for de-
creased marketings of crops, but 1t is
also evident that there are large with
holdings for higher prices.

Thanksgiving is heritage from our
Puritan forefathers, and those Ameri-

always do their best, of course. But
this year the American father will find
himself against proposition which diff
fers little from that of his progeni-
tors who provided the feast of thank
fulness for the hungry youngsters of a
century or two ago. Then the head Of
the household would shoulder his rifle
and go out to knock over j couple of
wild turkeys while his good wife was
busy getting out from the cellar the
vegetables ana fruits to complete the
feast. Nowadays father VIII have TO
hand out an unusual sum if the good
wife is to feed everybody turkey with
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and 9th

come to be necessary to the celebration

to feed family than it did at Thanks

Thsspfan Army Faces Winter with
No Work because Plays Fail.
1t Is estimated that there are nearly
1900 actors without work this season, a
much larger number, according TO the
managers, than were left idle during the
period of depression following the fnan-
cial panic of 1893 Managers for tie
last few weeks have been chary Of launch
ing new productions, it is said Their
loss of confidence is no more due to fnan-
cial conditions than to the growing dis
trust of established playwrights. Daniel
Frohnsan said that he considered the out
look extremely serious, the lack of salts
factory plays, the sterility Of playwrights,
and the construction Of too many theaters
having brought about a dangerous condi-
ton OF affairs in the theatrical world. The
record for failures was established in
September and October, and so per cent
of the new serious plays were pathetic
fiascos, he said. The authors OF these
plays comprise the most successful writ
ers of their class. As the actors have
suffered so have the electricians, stage
carpenters, scene shutters, wardrobe won-
en-, business managers, advance agents,
press agents and other persons connected
with the theatrical world.
