CHURCH CHAINED IN
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Cardinal Gibbons Says Absolute
Separation In America Con-
duCeS to Religious Advance
ment.

The recent visit of Cardinal
Gibbons has made an extraordi-
nary impression upon Rome, and
the common topic of conversation
among Cardinals, prealates and
churchmen of all degrees is one no.
table utterance, in which he COM
pared American with European
conditions of Catholicity greatly
to the detriment of the latter.
Cardinal Gibbons ascribes most
of the human drawbacks of Catho-
licity in Europe to the uLion of
the church and State, and most of
the blessings of the church in
America to the separation of the
two powers.
He declared he would not touch
on the theory of the union, but as
serts that the union which now
exists between the church and
State in most European countries
is like chain on the feet of the
church, while in America the
Government although formally
separated from the church and the
churches, is always willing to rec
ognize the interests of religion
and show it's respect yor religious
principles.
1.-The American people," the
Cardinal said, consider religion
as the basis of social morality and
prosperity, hence it respects every
organization that tends to keep
these alive in public and private
life -

TOBACCO Men SUED.
Petition Asking $4,000 is Filed
In u. S. Circuit Court at Gov
lngton.

A sensational suit for damages
was filed in .the United States
Court at Covington last week
against some of the most promi-
nent men in Bracken county, the
sec1e of violent night rider
rtfov les. The suit is brought by
w. S. Henderson, former resi-
dent of Augusta, Bracken county,
but now in Cincinnati. There are
Is defendants.
Henderson's petition asks for
$4,000 damages and sets forth
that on December 30, 1907, he
bought of Lewis Kinney and Dan
lei Shepard 1000 pounds of to-
bacco. He alleges that the de-
PENDANTS, on the day that the
tobacco was to be delivered at his
place of business in Augusta, came
to him armed and with threats of
aOdily harm and even death,
forced him to cancel the contract
he had made with Kinney and
Shepard.
He further alleges that they
conspired to break up his business
and that the defendants came to
him armed and forced him to sign
a contract to cease buying tobacco
in Kentucky or anywhere else.
These actions on the part of the
defendants, he alleges, forced him
to abandon his business and resi-
dence in Kentucky, which he
claims damaged him to the extent
of 1000. BY forching him to
quit buying tobacco in Kentucky
he claims he was damaged to the
extent of $40, 900, and that he lost
$500 when he was forced to cancel
the contract with Kinney and
Shepard.

YOUNG WAR VETERAN
Has Developed leprOSy--A Week
in Washington Before He
Knew What Allied Him.

There is leprosy in the District
of Columbia. The plague victim
is young veteran of the Spanish
war.
His name is John r. Early, 35
years old, whose home is in Lynn,
N. g., where he has wife and
child. He came to Washington a
few days ago, hoping to get pen
sion as an ex-soldier. He is now
confined in a tent heavily guarded.
When Early arrived in Washing
ton he was taken sick on Friday
afternoon. A physician was sent
for.
One look at the unhappy man
and the doctor cried, You are
leper." The lumpy forehead,
knotted in places under the skin;
the blotches of whitening flesh, a
stiffness of the joints. The physi-
clan at once notified the Health
Department and the man was i'm
mediately removed.
When seen Sunday afternoon
the leper sat in front of his tent;
head bowed, eyes bent on small
book he held in his swollen hands,
"Yea, though l walk through the
valley of the shadow of death.''
His lips moved to the words. He
was reading the twenty-third
Psalm.
Coatless he sat, with crossed
knees. Upon the approach of the
physician the leper folded his New
Testament.
In his face, lean, Drowned by
the bronze tarnish of the tropics,
there was nothing to revolt, moth
ing repulsive-until the eyes rested
on his forehead.
There the unclean shield of the
Oldest plague in the world spread
itself from temple to temple un-
hauntingly. The leper touched it
with his big fingers. Il know.
The seat of death is there. l am
obliged to you for coming to see
me. know now that l am con-
demned man-that the only ques-
ton between me an eternity is
How far are we apart from each

did not have God with me to sus-
tain and comfort me, l would go
insane, but l will not go insane. |
can even be cheerful. l have a
cetain length of life left to me,
and those who see me will not find
me weeping.
MY unhappiness," he said, rs
not for myself. l have a dear
wife and little boy. He is only 7
months DID,"
During the progress of the
Spanish-American War, Early was
a private and saw duty in both
Cuba and the Philippine. He is
supposed to have contracted his
dread disease in the Philippines,
although he does not remember
having come in contact with any
leper. He served nine years in
the regular army.
The district officials are endeav-
oring to make arrangements to
have North Carolina care for him.
