A Good Move Started.

In accordance with the suggestion
from the Shakespeare Club and re-
solutio of the city council there was
a gene. al cleaning up in town Wednes-
day, not only in the business section
but generally. The saloons we're
about the only places to close up
tight from 8 to IL a. NJ as all business
houses were requested to do, and the
Bodega was about the first to thorough
ly clean up the street.
Drays were busy all day hauling
away the piles of rubbish and bon
fires we're in evidence on every hand {.
Mesdames Connor and Bradley, as
Il committee from the club, took per-
sonal charge along River Avenue and
good work was done, roses and gold en-
glow being set out near the foot bridge
leading to the NJ. b. church and
Russian thistles being entirely re-
moved.
This is good start in the right di-
recticn and every citizen should take
an active interest every day in clean
ing l.p until the town is really clean
and attractive, as nature intended it.

We all enjoyed the musical Wan

as good musicians as Hudson people
ever listened to, their playing being
perfect in every way. The young la.

genius with the slide trombone, and
she, as we'll as the boys. and the whole
orchestra, were encored time and again
by the audience, and had to respond
to an encore every time they played.

liz the declamatory contest. Professor

the crowd.
Hot Springs was represented by Miss
Bertha Eastman, Rhea Smith, Marcel
la Goodwin and Hazel Mcgowan, and
both in team work and singly, Edge
mont took second place as Miss Bertha

the full amount of her insurance, $4,000

LIVES LOST IN EARTHQUAKE.
Fissures Opened Up at Tore Ia
Ribera, Spain.

A violent earthquake has occurred at
Tore la Ribera, in the province of HueS-
ca, Spain. The earth opened leaving
great assures, the disturbance being ac-
companied by subterranean rumbllngS,
which caused a panic among the pOpu-
lation. Many houses We're shaken down.
An unknown number of lives have been
lost.
The province of Huesca lies in the
northern portion of Aragon and is bound
ed on the north by France and on the
east by the province of Lerida. 1t has
an area of 1912 square miles, with a
population of approximately 2I5,OOO. The
capital city of the province is Huesca,
with a population of over 10000 people.
The city is we'll built and of a pic
turesque nature. but is in decayed state.
The principal building of the town is Its
cathedral, which has numerous statues
and a magnificent altar piece. The city
has fifteen converts and founding asy-
lum and the ancient palace OF the kings
Of Aragon.

WILL ASK AUTO MAIL CAR.
Postal League to Press Its Plan
Before Congress.

The next Congress will be asked to pro-
vide for an experiment in automobile post
Offices for rural delivery service. This sUg-
gestion was made at meeting Of the
Postal Progress League recently by James
l.. Cowles the secretary and treasurer of
the league.
Mr.. Cowles estimated that the present
loss to the government on rural delivery
service amounted to SIP for each route.
With the adoption of automobiles and a
change in the postal regulations to permit
a local rural parcels delivery with
weight limit of eleven pounds, Mr.. Cowles
declared rural delivery would become a
profit instead of loss to the government.
Following out this suggestion, the
league will ask Congress for an appropria-
ton of 100000 to test the plan. Mr..
COWleS' calculations were made for a
route of twelve miles covered twice a day.
He estimated that the cost of these trips,
including the carriers salary, would
amount to only So a day, which would be
more than provided for if each of some
175 families along the route paid only 3
cents a day for parcels from the town.
Frederick c. Beach, the president of the
league, said that the National Grange,
the association which obtained the passage
of the free-alcohol bill, would back the
Postal Progress League in this and its
other postal reforms. President Beach
was empowered by the meeting to appoint
a committee to draw up petitions to be
presented to Congress this coming win

Dr. \. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department. in al interview,
defends the national pure-food law from
the attacks of those who charge the in
creased cost of living to its operation. DIR.
Wiley admits that pure foods are worth
more. and should bring higher prices in
the markets than debased foods, and says
that any legitimate rise in the price on
this account is a benefit to the consumer
rather than to the producer, and should
be regarded as a blessing and not as a
curse. He calls attention to the fact that
while pure foods have advanced in price
the adulterated articles have declined.
Nevertheless he points out that the great
staple articles which form 80 per cent
of the food supply, are not, and cannot be,
affected by this law. He warns the pub
lie that in no case does the government
guarantee the purity of any article manu-
featured and sold. but merely aims to
have the goods sold for what they are.

pope Pins Rams Modernism.

A new encyclical issued by Pope Plus
y. at Rome makes a sweeping condemna-
ton Of all the so-called heresies of the
present time, which he has grouped under
the term modernism" In taking this
attitude the Pope asserts that he is but
following in the footsteps of his prede-
cessor. Leo XIII. The document exam
ines the different aspects of modernism
in philosophy, religion, history, criticism,
and the various social reforms known as
radicalism, contending that in all these
respects the effect would be toward the
destruction of dogmas and of the church
hierarchy. Modernism is further charac-
terized as unlimited curiosity, presump-
ton, individualism, ignorance and disre-
spect of real Catholic science and disci-
pine" All bishops are enjoined to see
that the clergy and the laity be turned
from this line of thought, and are ordered
to establish a college Of censors in every
diocese to revise Catholic publications and
rigdly to prescribe all Objectionable
books, newspapers or pamphlets.
Notwithstanding this general prohbi-
ton, the POpe's letter endeavors to dis
tinguish between modernstic thought and
the modern studies which are not in oppo-
sition to the church. He foresees that
the adverSarieS of the church will repre-
sent it as the enemy of science and pro-
gress. ITO this" says the Pope, I'VE
will reply by our actions" and he goes on
to say that the most illustrious represen-
tatives of Catholic science will be group
ed together with the object of favoring
and helping 1.-The progress of everything
that can be called true science or erudi-
ton The encyclical also orders the dis
missal from seminaries and Catholic uni
versities of all teachers who profess mod
ernistic theories. In the European press
there is some discussion as to whether
this encyclical is aimed at one country
more than another. Some say it is di-
rected against France, and others against
the United States but it is by no means
certain that the Pope had any particular
nation in mind.

EUROPMANIA is COSTLY.
5000, 100000 Goes Abroad in ALI
ances with Nobility.

More than 400 American girls have
married foreigners of noble families and
many of them have taken big fortunes to
their European husbands.
A French journal. LIE Petit Parisien.
declared the other day that Americana
girls who had married abroad. mostly for
foreign titles, had carried with them to
Europe the astonishing sum Of $9O0,000,-
600. The Paris writer did not associate
this statement with the reports of tight
money in America, yet the fact that
hundreds of millions have gone out of
the country with the title hunters may
well occasion a little financial as well as
social speculation.
Henry Clews, the veteran 6nancier,
when asked for an opinion on this esti-
mate, said:
Il think the statement that S900,000-
600 of wealth has been taken out of this
country, or at least that the ownership
of this vast amount of assets has been
transferred to aliens by the marriage of
American girls with foreigners is conserv-
ative. Undoubtedly the withdrawal of
such an enormous sum has an appreciate
effect upon the money market.
-The folly of Americans who have Eu-
ropamania is extremely costly to this
country. Our tourists spend at least
$15O,0O0.0OO abroad every year, most Of
it foolishly.'

there has been some dislocation of the

also been sensible quieting down of

also upon retail trade. which. however.
aided by fine fall weather, has given n
good account of itself this week In

Report Puts England First and
America Second in Tonnage.

An interesting statement showing the
relative order of warship tonnage of the
principal powers has been compiled at
the Office Of naval intelligence, which
is intended as an answer to frequent in
quiries of societies and persons through
out the country, who have manifested an
interest in the maintenance Of the navy
and its relative strength and Importance.
The statement shows that according to
the tonnage of to-day Great Britain leads
the world with a tonnage of 1853, 116,
the United States following with a ton
mage Of 81 ,616. France third with a ton
mage of 609019, Germany fourth with
tonnage of J29.032, Japan next with
tonnage of 374,101, and Russia, Italy
and Austria following in the order named.
However, were the war vessels building
by the various nations now completed,
the United States would be third in the
list with a tonnage of I71,75S, following
closely France. which would be second
with a tonnage of $50. 112 and Great
Britain. the leader. with a tonnage of
1921 ,610. The other naval powers would
stand in the same relative position as
they do with their tonnage of to-day,
although each would show a very sub
stantial increase.
