MIXED MARRIAGES.
Cause Of Large Loss to Catholic
Church in Germany.

From the Rosary Magazine.
A short time ago Father Bonaventme
the great Dominican preacher, stated that
within fifty years in the city of Berlin
alone a quarter of a million souls have
been lost to the Catholic Church, princi-
pally through mixed marriages.
In Germany it is almost certain that the
greater part Of the children of mixed
marriages are lost to the church In
Prussia about 60 per cent of these chill
dren are Protestants. The number OF
these marriages greatly exceeds the num-
Der of Catholic marriages.
In the four years from 1901 to 1905 there
were 1.oo1 Catholic marriages, as opposed
TO 4,S14 mixed marriages in Berlin and
Brandenburg alone. The proportion for
the whole empire for 1906 was $50 mixed
to 100 Catholic unions. The question has
become very grave and Is giving much
worry to the Catholic leaders.
One Of the explanations of this strange
condition of affairs is the discrimination
practiced throughout the German empire
against Catholics Prussia is still the
great center of the spirit of the reforma-
ton, and the strict Lutherans there can
not compromise with Catholic. All the
government positions are held by Protes-
tants. The army. the universities tho
railroad administration-all are closed 10

with his art galleries here in New York.
He was undoubtedly the greatest art
dealer of his time.
mo one could gauge the popular taste
Duveen could. He made thousands
by buying at a low price the work OF
unknown men who later on became, AS he
had calculated. great successes.
''Duveen once told me that lie always

of new works. To get the public view
he would say. go direct to the public.
Thus you learn surprising and valuable
things. You find your hit-or-m miss guesses
all wrong
And to show that first-hand facts are
better than the most ingenious guessing,
Duveen used to point to an ancient Ro-
man historian.
This historian was studying the theft
of the Sabine women. While the Sabine
warriors were feasting with their wives
you know. the Romans stole and married
those ladies.
THE historian wanted to study the
grief OF the Sabine men. He visited
them, expecting TO find them in sackcloth
and ashes. But some were playing games,
others sang and others again caroused.
THE historian. however. found one Sa-
bine weeping a rock. The man
CRASHED his teeth, and now he tore out
handfuls of hair and beard, and anon
he knelt and butted his head quite hard
against his rocky seat.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Next Day.

The last threads of Lord Broadstone' S
endurance snapped at the contact with
the chill fingers of death. and with a low
moan of terror he turned and lied from
the room.
The success of the trick which Sadie
had played upon him was thus complete,
but the after results were very different
from any she had anticipated.
At the moment he was possessed by
fright, and in his panic he rushed, back
10 his room below. locked the door, turn
ed up all the available lights and guped
down some whisky to warm his blood
and stimulate his half-craZed brain
But when the horror subsidized sufficient
~ for him to begin to think over the in
cdent with some degree of calmness fear
gave way to a feeling of intense and pro-
found relief.
He believed that he had been stayed
from the attempt upon Eva's life by su
pernatural agency. He had always been
a believer In ghosts: he was superStl-
tious to a degree. and he thus quite
ready to accept what appeared to him as
the obvious explanation.
He wished to believe it, moreover If il
was Sadie's spirit that had appeared to
warn him. II was at least certain that
she was dead. In that thought there was
abundant comfort. If she was dead. then
Eva was really his wife: and, whether
she llteU OF uLeu, lie was SAFE.
His one doubt was. lest in the moment
of overwrousht excitement. his own i'm
agination had conjured up the vision.
But the touch of the dead hand was too
real too substantial to leave room for
doubt. The remembrance of that touch
still Mortified him till he shuddered but
he was convinced of its reality. and the
gesture was one which he remembered
wildly as one of Sadie's.
lie could face the next day without
fear, therefore. and he went TO bed witt
greater freedom from care than for
months past
Sadie on her side, kept her watch sleep
lessly She was confident that Broadstone
would make no further attempt TO do mis-
chief that night, but she would not run
the risk Of going to sleep. And the next
day she would take steps TO prevent his
passing another night at the Towers.
The problem of Evas future weighed
heavily upon her. and she spent the re-
naming hours of her watch in anxious
thought.
The result was to make one thing clear
The only hope of saving Eva lay in Don
Stuart and their mutual love. Eva was
not Yet out of danger, of course, but she
had been conscious for a few minutes
once or twice, and the doctor was con-
tident that if no relapse came she would
get we'll
But Sadie did not share that confidence
unless a strong desire TO live could be
J created. After Jacks death Eva had

capped him.
Bert, Bert, what would you do?" said
a voice, the tones of which thrilled him,
and out of the darkness loomed the form
Of the wife he had murdered by the same
means years before.
Form, dress. hair. features, eyes-he rec
ogniZed all instantly, although. the face
was as the face of the dead.

accused him, he stood transfixed, staring

name of the dead!''
He trembled as one in a palsy. His hot
dry tongue chung TO his mouth and the
power to speak or even call out failed
him.
Then the figure moved. 1t began to
approach him. He tried again to cry
aloud, but nothing save an inarticulate
gasp escaped his fever-dried lips. Slowly
it glided nearer and nearer. and a hand.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Henry Clews takes a most optimis.
tic view of the situation in his New
York letter this week He says in
part:
THE tendency OF affairs in Wall
Street is distinctly towards improve
ment. Confidence is reviving and a
much greater degree of recovery has
already been established than could
possibly have been foretold a month
or six weeks ago. This improvement
is almost entirely due to favorable
Developments in the monetary situa-
ton. The premium on currency has
finally disappeared and rates for time
money are steadily declining. Along
with this movement there has been
a corresponding drop in rates for com
mercial paper, the demand for which
has much improved. The derange-
ment in credit is gradually passing
away; liquidation has been severe
and has had the effect OF releasing
large sums previously locked up in
high-priced securities. The return
movement of funds from the interior
has fairly begun and will now con
tinue for some time to come. There
Is an abundance OF currency in the
interior and a relative scarcity in
New York This is demonstrated by
the last national bank statement,
which showed that the banks in the
central reserve cities in order to help
during the crisis allowed their re-
serves to decline to s32.O0O.000 below
legal requirements. while the country
banks carried surplus reserves OF over
sl03. 900, 600 With the return Of con
fidence and the resumption of specie
payments, there should be very
large influx OF these funds back to
New York and other reserve cities.
For this reason the deficit in New
York reserves must be nearly wiped
out and for some time to come rising
averages will probably be the rule.
When 1t Is recalled that the increase
in circulation during the last twelve
months has been SI95. 900 .000.of which
nearly $70,0O0,000 was added In De-
cember, II win be apparent that a
very material increase in the supply
OF loanable funds is imminent at this
center. 1t is also TO be considered
that hoardings in all parts of the
country. estimated at over $780, 00,-
600. are being released and will soon

NOT FoR A CENTRAL BANK.

Upon request of the editor of the
Western Banker, of Omaha, Major
Lacey prepared the following letter
which appears in the December is
sue of that paper:
Oskaloosa, Ia, Nov. %.
Editor Western Banker:
Other countries with great central
banks, such as Germany and France
have found it practicable to issue an
elastic, asset currency. Hon. George
E. Roberts recognizes this distinction
and meets the question fairly by ad
yocating great central bank. II the
currency of this Country, or a large
part of it, is put upon the asset basis,
such bank will become necessary.
We are under tie free banking
system, and some of our national
banks are weak and small. me
weaker and smaller banks would need
currency the most and the bank that
was in falling circumstances would
be the first to abuse its privileges in
the issue of asset currency to the
limit.
Elasticity would ensue, but II
would be at the expense of confidence
and safety. If the asset currency
should not be distinguishable from
the bond-secured notes, the whole
currency would fall under suspicion.
II the temporary. or asset currency,
could be distinguished from the ordi-
nary currency, the issue of such
notes in any considerable quantity
would be danger signal, and invite
panic instead of prevent it.
We now have over 1913 per car'i
OF circulation, but, at present, it does
not circulate. The people believe Il
is all good and they are holding onto
it, The banks set the example by
tenaciously boarding 1t.
II there were loss of confidence in
the solyency OF this currency then we
would have panic indeed.
1t might be possible to devise a
purely emergency currency that
would relieve the banks in special
emergencies. but not available for or
binary circulation. Such paper might
be issued by clearing house associa.
tons, with guaranty OF the associat-
ed banks; legalizing the methods

evolved out Of former Industrial dis.
Iturbances. But. under our present
system, to grant power to all the ma.
tional banks, big or little, to issue
emergency currency would be to In
wife reckless initiation and increase our
present difficulties. Our present trou.
BILE is not due to our currency; it is
attributable to want of confidence in
corporate integrity and management,
and the shrinkage in value of corpor-
ate stocks and securities has produced
a contraction of credit and demand
for liquidation.
Enlarged issues OF paper money
have always been the cure-all of the
speculator. great central bank,
properly administered by sound and
conservative officials, may safely is
sue temporary asset currency on its
resources. This has been demon
strated in Europe.
do not believe we can do this
without remodeling our national bank
ing system.
There are too many advantages in
our present method to justify the
abandonment of the free banking
system and the adoption of great
central bank OF issue instead
Yours truly,
John F. Lacey
