Archbishon Ireland.

Minneapolis, Dec. 30.-Archbishop Ireland in speaking on the church sep aration law now being enforced in France reviewed eXhaustiyely the re- lations of the church and state in that country during the past quarter cen tury. The archbishop denied that the church is opposed to the law of sep aration, but declared that it must be a fair separation, carrying with it the liberty and justice that separation means in this country or in England or Germany. He told of the primary causes of the trouble in France, blam- ing a few agitators who have a hold on the republic. The archbishop said that this class had forced the issue and that the people have not submit, ted, that they have unfortunately not had the training in understanding and governing to defend their church against it's opponents. Tbe archbish- op declared the trouble would contin- ue and that the church in the end would defeat the efforts of the state and come into the full exercise of it's rights and liberties.

Street Car Accident.

Cincinnati, Dec. 31.-At least 90 peo- pie were injured, one of whom has since died, in the wrecking of a run away electric car on the Warsaw av- enue hill in this city Sunday after noon.

The car stfuck telebraph pole and turned turtle, the passengers be- ing thrown in a heap ill the mud be side the track or buried in the wreck of the car Hiram Leister, a passen- ger, by operating the brake on the rear platform, probably prevented a much worse accident, as his action, made at great personal risk, reduced the speed of the car materially be- fore it left the track.

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
 One Knew What Is Was.

It must have been a very funny story! The type looked funny from across the aisle of the car, the pic lures looked funny and the young lady who was reading it doubled up in fits of stihed laughter every few minutes. The young man in the seat with her could not help stealing a glance at the pages of the book which was evidently so funny, but whose cover was carefully doubled back out of sight, and soon he began to laugh as he unblushingly followed the story page after page, shaking with sup pressed merriment.
 The woman in the seat at right an gIes became interested and looked over the girls shoulder. Presently her face broadened into a grin and soon she was convulsively shaking. The man ir the seat across smiled at the scene. A boy a few seats down the aisle grinned sympathetically. A darky still further down showed all his white teeth. The contagion spread until the car was nearly on the verge
 mysteries, when the far reader got up to leave the train, yet no one but the girl herself had any idea as to what the book was.

 Supreme.

To it's coal supply more than twice as great as the combined coal area of Great Britain, Germany and Penn sylvinia; to it's vast stores of oil and natural gas as supplementary sources power of water powers for utilization of power and heat and light the South adds at least 3,O0O,000 available horse power of water powers for utilization for electrical transmission, also for power. heat and light. The develop ment of this vast water power poten- tiality will eventually employ $250,- 900 900 to $300,000,000 and be equal in working capacity to 6,000,000 men. It will make possible construction of thousands of miles of interurban cleo tric roads. it will furnish cheap power and light for mines and factories, and create. as in Switzerland, the highest forms of skilled mechanical work in the mountains of the South, where climatic conditions are unsurpassed by any other section of the world In counting up the riches of the South all ways bear in mind it's wealth of ever running streams, where nature fur nishes the power without price except for the cost of development.-Manu- lecturers Record.

FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE. Professor of the Occult Has Added a
 New Wrinkle.

Mathematlcians have juggled with the mystic figures 3, and for ages, and now comes foreign professor" of the occult science to tell fortune Dy the force in simple numeral"- the g.. He reminds his victims that if they multiply any number short of decimal, by 9 the two figures of tho product added together will make g. Thus: Nine times are Is, and and 1 are 9; times 3 are 27, and and 2 are 9; times 5 are 45, and and I are g; 9 times 6 are 54, and and 5 are g; times ' are 63, and and are 9; 9 times s are 72, and and ' are g; time 9 are S1, and 1 and 8 are 9. He might have added that any number in the hundreds of thousands multiplied by will give a product the sum of whose digits is a multiple of g. Take at random-9 times 545 are 4,9O5, the sum of which is IS, and g into IS goes Z times. Take 7,352 multiplied by 9 equals 66,168; the sum of the digits is 27; g into 27 goes 3 times. Oh, there is an immense amount of fun in g.

ARKANSAS 4 ASTATE NEWS
Opposition to Flat Rate on Cotton.


 A matter which is considered by cot ton men to be of great importance to the growers of cotton, is before the Arkansas Railroad Commission in the nature of request from Pine Bluff to have flat rate established in Ar kansas for the handling of cotton. It is asserted that a fiat rate would mean the abolishment of the concen- tration rates in existence in the state, inasmuch as it is declared that the flat rate as a rule would be in excess of the concentration rate 1t is be. Heyed that the roads would refuse to maintain low rate in the face of the higher rate.
 concentration rate is a rate where by cotton comes from the field in the bales and is shipped to a point to be compressed. After compression it is reloaded and forwarded to final points of destination, such as the New Eng land mills and ports for export This permits buyer in Little Rock to se- feet staple in the field bring it to Lit tie Rock for compression and for ward it to destination on certain basic points.
 A fiat rate is local rate. In oper- ation it means that a bale of cotton loaded at any point in the state goes to it's destination on the local rate and if reshipped from Little Rock must proceed on another local basis In effect local rate into Little Rock and out would be a combination of two local rates, which it is declared would as rule be higher than the concentra- tion rates in effect.

Eooled Anain.

Those Republicans who have been
simple enough to believe the tariff
will be revised by it's friends, the Re
publican leaders, must nov see that
there is no such intention. We have
all along said that the coming CON
gress would do nothing to relieve the
people from the high price of the
products of the tariff protected trusts.
Now comes Congressman Payne, who
will again be the chairman Of the
ways and means committee, from
whom all tariff bills must proceed,
and declares that he has not been
shouting tariff revision from the
house tops" No one expected from
his former ustprotecting p%roclivities
that Mr.. Payne has a particle of re-
form in his makeup. He tells compla-
Gently that he seer no need of re-
vision lust now" He hears Of talk
in favor of it lin spots" but is unable
to designate the localities. 1t will be
time enough to think about the matter
when the national convention meets
next summer, but says he, Il do not
know that a plank in favor of revision
will be placed in the platform, but it
may" AS Mr.. Payne is virtually
Speaker Cannon, as far as these
oracular tariff utterances are con
cerned, it is evident that the standpat
Republican statesmen, who control
congress, are intent on fooling Repub-
lican voters who desire revision and
are tired Of paying trust high prices
for about all they consume. Demo
Gratis should ask their Republican
friends how they like this constant
attempt to fool them on the one
political matter that affects their
pockets more than anything else does.
