results. Its success depends on faith

amounts remember the penny in the slos

WON HIS DIVORCE SUIT.
John A. Stirling Freed from His Ameri-

Edinburgh, Scotland. March ll.--,John
Alexander Stirling, laird Of Kippendaire
Perthshire, yesterday won his divorce
suit against his wife, Clara Elizabeth
Stirling. who was formerly Miss Tay.
Tor OF New Jersey.
Lord Guthrie in the court Of sessions
granted Strings petition, awarding him
the custody Of the child, and denied the
cross petition Of Mrs. Stirling
Mrs. Stirling alleged her husbands mis-.
conduct with Mrs. Anterior, the divorced
wife OF Col. Atherton, late OF the 18th

with misconduct with Lord Northlant.

respondent, and it was expected that

the divorce. But Yarde Butler. as soon
as the divorce was granted, hastily mar

for breach Of promise TO marry and lost
Fer suit, being, therefore, left on the
mat as Mrs. Stirling called it in her
testimony.
Lord Guthrie, in delivering judgment,
made some scathing remarks on the CON
duet Of the parties concerned. The evil
dence, he said showed that they had led
selfish and idle lives. The only useful
occupation that Mrs. Stirling and Mrs.
Atherton could find on one Sunday seem
ed to consist in nanicuring each others
nails. In dealing with Mrs. Strings
trip to America, Lord Guthrie remarked
that she had spent her time on the voy-
age TO New York in playing bridge whist

The March number OF The North Am
orican Review opens with an article Of
striking interest and authority by
Cardinal Gibbons entitled "The Church
and the Republic" The Cardinal refers
to the idea that used to be common
among multitude Of people in this
country, that IL was impossible for a
man to be at once Roman Catholic
and truly patriotic citizen of the
United States, inasmuch as the Roman
Catholic was supposed to owe his first
and most sacred allegiance to "a for.
eign potentate," the Pope. The Cardinal
citing historical announcements points
out that the teaching Of the church has
always been that the civil government,
no less than the ecclesiastical govern.
ment, has divine authority; consequent
", that the church cannot intermeddle
iu affairs purely civil, nor the state in
affairs purely ecclesiastical; and that
Roman Catholics are bound to obey the
state within its own domain in all
things that do not eontrovene the moral
law The Cardinal concludes:
"Thsre is a union that is inimical to
the interests OF religion, and consequent
" to the state; and there is a separa-
ton that is inimical to the interests
Of religion, and consequently to the
state; and there Is separation that is
for the best interests Of both In our
country separation Is a necessity; and
1T is a separation that works best for
the interests of religion, as Mr. Taft re-

Gently exclaimed In America separa-
ton means the reign of liberty; in

Of church and state; and can conceive

sirabla to church or state. We know
