Pope Pins Bans Modernism.

A new encyclical issued by Pope Plu
X. 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
hat 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
rigidly to prescribe all Objectionable
books, newspapers or pamphlets.
Notwithstanding this general prohibi-
ton, the Pope's letter endeavors to dis
tinguish between modernistic 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. 'To this" says the Pope, WI
will reply by our actions and he goes on
to say that the most illustrious represen-
tattives Of Catholic science will be group
ed together with the object Of favoring
and helping 'the progress of everything
that can be called true science or erudi-,
ton" The encyclical also orders the dis
missal from scm;naries 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.

WILL ASK AUTO MAIL CAR.
Postal League to Press It's Plan
Before Congress-.

Postal LcaEu to Press It's 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 a meeting o. 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 or 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 a
weight limit of eleven pounds, Mr.. Cowles
declared rural delivery would become a
profit instead of a loss to the, government.
Following out this suggestion, the
league will ask Congress for an a%ppropria-
ton of 100000 to test the plan. Mr..
Cowles' calculations We're made for a
route of twelve miles covered twice a day.
He estimated hat 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
IT'S families along the route paid only 8
cents a day for parcels from the town.
Frederick C. Beach, the president of the
league, said that the National Grange,

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

presented to Congress this coming win

SOLD SECRETS OF COURTS.

Discovery that Papers Were stolen
Opens Up F~ar-Renching Plot.
Secret syyice operatives are WORKING
in Chicago to determine to what extent
government secrets in recent. cases OF
national Importance have been sold by
Miss Eta Mclean and Alexander B.
Gordee, who were held In 5000 bonds
to the grand jury on charges of con.
spiracy and the theft Of papers in the
John r. Walsh case.
Discovery of papers relating to the
Standard Oil trial in the room Of Miss
Mclean has led to the suspicion that
she and her confederate may have dis.
closed government plans not only in the
Walsh case, but in the cases against
the Standard Oil, the Chicago and AL
ton railway, and the school book COM
bine. 3.a
Miss McLean's position as stenos-
rapher in District Attorney Sims Of
fee, which she held since April, gave
her ample opportunity to obtain copies
of the most valuable papers in all these
cases. The fact that Gordee, her sweet
heart, was able to live in %idleness, din
ing Mt expensive restaurants, for the
past six months has made it apparent
he had some secret source of income.
While the government officials feel
confident they have unearthed a far
reaching conspiracy, they have yet to
learn Its magnitude or to what extent
it's operations have injured government
prosecutions. In the prosecution of the
Standard Oil, the Alton, and the book
combine it was apparent at every turn
that the defendants knew In advance
the governments moves, no matter how
secretly planned. The arrest Of the
couple, 1t IL believed, has solved this
enigma.

~ nnces 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. y
A French journal, LIE PNit 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 $900,OO0,-
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
we'll occasion a little financial as we'll as
\ social speculation. i
Henry Clews, the veteran fnancier,
when asked for an opinion IN this esti-
mate, said:
II think the statement that $9OO,OOO,-
900 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 sun has ar appreciable
effect upon the money market.

ropamania is extremely costly to this
country. Our tourists spend at least
$150,OOO,O00 abroad every year, most of
1t foolishly."

An Electric Anaesthetic

The discovery of a method of CAUSING
sleep by electricity is credited to Prof
Leduc of France in current cable adj
vices, and experiments along the same
line have already been made by Prof.
Scripture of Yale. Prof. Leduc finds
that a current of 35 volts sent intermit-
tently through two electrodes applied to
the skull will induce a thoroughly healthy
sleep. While the patient sleeps under
this influence the most difficult and pain
full surgical operations may be perform
ed, and the mind seems to work more
clearly and rapidly as an after effect. The
particular advantage of this new anaes-
thetic is the doing away with all drugs,
and in being able to induce restful sleep
for patients suffering from nervous cx-
haustion where tho administering Of drugs
would be dangerous.

pure rood Law Defended.

DIR. ". w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department, in an interview,
defends the national pare-food law from
the attacks of those who charge the in
creased cost of living to it's operation. DIR.
Wiley admits that pure foods are worth
more, and should bring higher prices in
the markets than debascd 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 7esafale1: asa blessing and not az q
errse. He, calls attention to the fact that
while pure foods have advanced in price
the adulterated articles have declined.
Nevertheless he points ont that the great
STABLE articles which form so 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-
fact,rred and sold. but merely aims to
have the goods sold for what they are.

LIVES LOST IN EARTHQUAKE.
,Fis.ures Opened Up at Tore la
Ribera, SPAIN.

- HnDeru, Spahhs m8a
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 rumblings,
which caused a panic among the popu-
aation. Many houses were shaken down.
An unknown number of lives ave been
4ost.
The province of Huesca lies in the
northern portion of Aragon and is bound
ed on the north by France n on the
east by the province of Lerida. 1t has
an area of 5,S72 square miles, with a
population OF approximately 215,0oo. The
capital city of the province is Huesca,
with a population Of over 10000 people.
The city is. well built Il of a pic
turcsque nature, but is in a decayed state.
The principal building of the town is its
cathedral. which has numerous statues
and a magnificent altar piece. The city
has fifteen conFents and a founding asy-
dun and the ancient palace of the kings
of AraGon.

Tran.mutation NOW Fac,

Prof. Otto N. Witt of the Technical
high school at Charlottenburg, Germany,
an authority on radium experiments, now
asserts that the latest experiments Of
Prof. Ramsay show that under the inhn-
ence of the energy contained in radium
emanations ~well-known elements like cop
per can now be converted into others just
as well known. This proves that the an
cient alchemists were on the right track.
Four years ago Ramsay discovered that
radium carnations changed to helium and
later hat this is the source of all the
ina tive elements.
Latterly Prof. Boltwood of Yale has
shown that a new element exists in the
uranium minerals, where radium is found,
and which is the parent of radium. This
new element gives off both alpha and beta
radiations, produces no emanations and
resembles theorium. Ionium is the name
proposed for this substance.
