pronounced against him the death

about his COMPLETE physical collapse

VERDICT AGAINST PRIEST

New Bedford. Mass, Oct. 13-The suit of Manuel Amancio against the Rev Father Manuel De Sousa Travas- sos, a Portuguese priest of the Catho- lie church, which involved the question whether the secrets of the confessional should be revealed as evidence in court has been decided in favor of the plain tiff by Judge Frank c. Milliken. Judgment in the sum of $50 was or dered.
 The disputed evidence concerned ad- vice alleged to have been given to Mrs. Amancio by Father Travassos. which, it is alleged, resulted in the separation of the plaintiff and his wife, The judge ruled that while the common law eX- empted a priest from testifying as to disclosures made to him by a penitent the penitent was not exempt from tes- tiyfing regarding a conversation with the priest.
 Mrs Amancio testifyed that Father Travassos had. told her that inasmuch as she had been married by civil ceremony she was not married in the eyes of the church and should leave her husband until a church ceremony had been performed.
 Father Travassos entered an appeal from Judge Williken's decision.

in that position and the excellent man
ner in which he had carried out his
duties.
During the voyage to Manila the
vessels of the squadron were cleared
for action. Aboard the Olympia they
did less clearing than the other vessels
and were afterwards glad of this as
they had chairs to sit on and tables to
eat from. Before the feet entered the
bay Dewey held a conference with the
captains of the other vessels and told
them that the bay was said to be hon
eycombed with torpedoes, but that the
Olympia would precede them and that,
If there were any such mines to be
encountered, she would clear the way
for them.
The tense excitement Of that silent,
stealthy passage of the entrance and

The Call, January 14.-There may be
some things that an army officer can
not do, but playing nursegirl is not one

yesterday, viii tell you that. Among
the passengers was Mrs. Charles ID.
Palmer, who, before she was married
to the manager of the International
banking corporation at Manila, was
Katrina Wright, daughter of Luke E.
Wright, secretary of war. Mrs. Palmer
left Manila with her baby daughter
and nurse, girl said to have been i'm
ported from the United Kingdom
specially to administer to the needs of
little Miss Palmer.
At Nagasaki the nurse went ashore
and returned to the ship in state of
inebriation that excited the admiration
of every warrior on board the Sheridan.
That nurse in that condition
should associate with the grand
daughter of the secretary of war was
out of the question. Mrs. Palmer is
loving mother and would have been
delighted to take nurse 8 place, but the

blue would not allow it, Majors, cap.

toting the secretary s diminutive grand
