 The two largest indoor 'slxies' in ex- istence were completed here this week. One of them Is an acre i'm extent and will form the back drop of the New Theatre, being so arranged on series of rollers that 1t will be possible to produce any sky effect desired.

 PrOpably the nrst case on record m which line of railway fully equipped with tracks, trains and stations, and one that was being operated at profit. has ben abandoned deliberately by its owners, will take place as a result of permission, granted by the Public Serv. ice Corporation of New York this week. The, line In question Is about twenty miles long. It lies east of the Hud. son. River and belong to the Central New England Railroad which Is con trolled by the New York, New Haven and Hartford system.
 The reason for abandoning roaa which is in good condition and in prof itable operation. is that the company which owns 1t recently acquired par alel line which Is better adapted for the handling of through freight. Some time ago a request was made for per mission. to throw up the stretch or track thus duplicated, but the Public Service Commi .on held that such . course would tnflict unwarranted hard ships on some of the people living along the discarded line. Now, how ever, the railroad company has settled the claims of those who would be dam aged by the abandonment of its serv- ice and will be allowed to tear up it's tracks with the result probably that several small hamlets along It's route will soon become deserted villages

 London, Oct. s.-A paris dispatch to 'The Times" says: Active prepara- tions are being made, both overtly anu behind e/scenes, by the French Ro- man Catholics in view of next years general election. The movement Is part of the effort, in many respects admir- able, and at all events interesting, or the Roman Catholics in this country to readjust themselves to the new situ- ation created by the Separation Law. For the first time in century theiI leaders-the Priests, the Bishops, ana the Archbishops--find themselves free men in possession of the same liberties as are enjoyed by all other French ci- tizens. So long as they lived under the regime of the Concordat, combination was for them illegal It constituted exactly the same kind of breach or me law as was and Is the formation or trade union by any action of the large army of Civil servants.
 The Roman Catholic clergy Tn 2. word. are no longer "functionaries, and while by the rupture of their ties with the State they have. perhaps, be- come less independent than ever, in that they are thrust back Into the hands of the Vatican and are deprived of Having recQurse' to the French civH authority in Case of frkseme reeom- mendations from Rome. they, never theless, now enjoy freedom of move ment and a right of civic protest and intervention which many of them re- gard as ah inestimable Soon, largely pensating for all the disadvantage entailed by the rupture of the Concor- dat.
 An immediate consequence of this new situation has been a revival In the French Church of that form or practical Apostolate which throve Tor a time under Leo XIII. after his fa- nous Encyclical of 1891 on the condi- ton of the working classes. but which neither the eloquencS and loyalty of the great leader of the Roman Catholic social movement, the Comte de Nun. nor the devotion and political talent Of the Liberal Catholic" M. Piou succeed ed in maintaining pure and undecided and immune from all compromising po- I.tt al. passion. .a .--.-..... to divert into profitable channels this rescuBciated energy, and at present. under the Impulse given by recht Pom tif,cai orders, In which Plus K, has di- rected the Roman Catholics in this country to unite their forces for the defence of Roman Catholic interests that is to say. to sink all their diff erences, political and social, in order to conciliate the sympathy of the people close observers here are witnessing the first steps in the formation of a Roman Catholic party which only the utmost prudence can prevent from becoming an object of suspicion to the political world and to the great mass of public opinion in France.
 The more enlightened organs of Ro- man Catholic opinion here are well aware of the danger lurking in the formation of a Roman Catholic party which shall actively undertake to pro- mote political ends. All the ills that have befallen the Church in this coun- try are largely due to its intervention in politics. The Bishops, however. are divided as to the best way of realizing the ideas of the Pope.

AS to Mr.. Vaughan.

They were discussing the proper
pronunciation of the name of w
Somerset Vaughan, the new English
dramatist, who suddenly burst on
London a few months ago with -four
plays, and whose Jack Straw is now
being given on Broadway.
That name is pronounced 'Mawm,
declared one who had been in London
'No-it's surely 'Mawum, opined
somebody else.
"Mahm' is better" declared an
other.
why not 'MuggumT" said one
who inclined to the facetious.
And they grew quite heated about 1t
why, of course it's Mawm!'"
"Rats-it's 'Mawumi'"
"Nol-Mahm!'
'Muggum'-by ali means"
Until finally one who had done moth
ing so far but show signs of growing
impatience and ennui suddenly brought
his fist down on the table.
NUNS the world" he shouted.
That ended the discussion.

but have used it in myown family"
DR.. r. h. Kyle, Of st. Paul,

sure to add my name to the long
list of those who have used and
now endorse your Castoria. The
fact of the ingredients being known
through the printing Of the formula

sufficient reason for the recon-
mendation of any physician. /

commend it oheerfully."

DR.. B. Halstead Scott, Of Chica-
go, ILL.,, says az have prescribed
your Castoria often for infants
during my practice and find it
very satisfactory"
DIR. William Belmont, Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, says "Your Oastoris
stands first in its class. In my
thirty years of practice can say I
never have found anything that so
filed the place"
DR.. R. J. Hamlen, Of Detroit,
Mich, says I prescribe your Cas-
toria extensively as 1 have never
found anything to equal it for chill
dren's troubles. ! am aware that
there are limitations in the field, but
I always see that my patients get
Fletcher's."
DIR. Claiming Fl. Cook, of Saint
Louis, Mo-, says: 81 have used
your Cqstoria for several years past
in my own family and have always
found 1t thoroughly efficient and
never objected to by children,
which is q great consideration in
view of the fact that most medi-
cines of this character are obnox-
ious and therefore difficult Of ad-
ministration. As a laxative ]
consider it the peer of anything
that I ever prescribed"

DR.. W. F. Wallace, Of Bradford,
N. H., says /: 81 use your Castoria

practice, found Castoria q popular
and efficient remedy in almost
every home"
DIR. Howard James, of New York,
City, says: 1t is with great pleas
ure that l desire to testify to the
medicinal virtue of your Castoria.
I have used 1t with marked benefit
in the case Of my own daughter,
and have obtained excellent results
from its administration to other
children in my practice"
DR.. ]. R. Clausen, of Philadel-
phia, Pa, says "The name that
your Castoria has made for itself
in the tens of thousands of homes
blessed by the presence { f children,
scarcely needs to be supplemented
by the endorsement of the medical
profession, but l, for one, most
heartily endorse it and believe it

HIS Reason.

y The village postmaster and one OF
the leading politicians were holding
an earnest conversation near the en-,
trance of the post Office. Perched upon
the steps street urchin was drinking
in every word of the discussion, when
the pastor of one of the village
churches came out of the building.
Recognizing in the urchin one OF his
Sunday school boys, he called him
aside and began: John, it is wrong,
very wrong, of you to try to pry into
the affairs OF others. Don't you know
that 1t is impolite to listen to the
conversation of grown ups?"
Sure, l know it is impolite," re-
plied Johnnie, but it is all right this
time, cause Deacon Smith said he'd
give me a quarter if | found out what
them two men were talking about"

The Real Trouble.

William Clyde Fitch, who doesn't
use his first name, has about as little
of the traditional constituencies to fail
ures as 1t is possible for a generally
successful dramatist to get along with.
He talks THE Straight Road" with
all tie enthusiasm that he brings to a
"reminiscences OF Beau Brummell, -
and he has no objection to telling you
of mirth that has been made at his
own expense.
Il always had faith in my historical
play, Nathan Hale which, you may
remember. we put on during the Span
ish war" he said recently. Il believe
in that play, but nobody else seems al
together to agree with me.
Il recall with not a little pain how
sat in the almost empty theater during
one of its productions.
Beside me at the time was one of
the best-known, ablest and also frank
est dramatic critics in New York, and
to him was trying to ease my mind.
81 think, said, that we have put
this play on at the wrong time. No
body wants TO go to the theater in
war time
MY friend looked at me and shook
his head, sagely.
No, Fitch he answered, the
trouble is not the war, but the piece. "
