White clothes are made of vegetable
hbres, cotton or flax. Boiling affects them
the same way it does other vegetable mat
ter, as potatoes or cabbage 1t softens
them and wcakcns the fibre. Boiling will
soften even hard wood.
By this you can easily see how. your
clothes will wear out quicker and tear
more easily if you boil and hard-rub them;
Wool, which is an animal fibre, is softencd
Just as the fibre of meat in boiling.
Fcls-Naptha will cleanse your clothes in
cold or lukewarm water without any boil
ing or hard rubbing, and there isn't a
single thing in it that will harm the goods
Your clothes will wear twice as long,
and they'll be whittier and cleaner all the
time Try cake of Fels-Naptha and see.
But use it the Fcls-Naptha way, according
to the simple directions on the red and

NOT PRIVILEGED.

For the first time In an American
court, probably, the secrecy that has
surrounded the Roman Catholic con
fessional for ages was violated at New
Bedford, Mas, on Friday.
Judge Mllliken ordered Mrs. Manuel
Amanico, witness, to repeat the words
that passed between her aud the Rev.
Father Manuel de Souza Navsssos when
she was q penitent in the confessional
box Of the priests church there.
Joseph ds Terra, counsel for Father
Nsvsssos, vigorously objected.
"Show me any law 10 this common
wealth making such conversation a
privileged one,' said Judge Millikeu.
So far sc | know, your honor, there
is no such law" answered Mr.. DIS Terra,
"but by custom long established in the
English law the conversation between
priest and penitent, even If 1t discloses
crime, has been regarded as privi-
legged; a witness is never called upon to
repeat it,"
"There is no law In this common.
wealth." retorted the judge, (which
makes any conversation privileged save
that between husband and wife, il either
wishes to disclose it. and that between a
client and counsel"
This in the civil session OF the Third
District Court Friday, where Manuel
Amaucio is suing Father NavsssOs, who
came there from the Azores islands three
years ago. Amancio asks 81, 900 DAM
ages from the priest, claiming that bis
young and pretty wife is living apart
from him because OF advice Father Nav
sssos gave her during her confession to
him.
Obeying the Judge, Mrs. Amsncio
testified:
"Father Manassas ssked me II was
single or married. told him | mar
ried my husband by civil ceremony. He
said was not married, but WAS living
10 concubinsge aud was sccursed. Since
then some people have told me that my
marriage was ell right, just as good ns
sny other, go l am willing to go back TO
my husband and live With him"
Judge Miliken reserved his decision.
Cardinal Gibbons said on Saturday
that Judge Milliken did right in de-
cidiug that the testimony OF the woman
vas not privileged 10 the case In which
she desired to 90 on the stand in the
suit of her husband against a priest and
show that the priest in confessional had
urged her to abjure Der marriage be-
cause it bad been civil ceremony and
not under church rites.
"If she wanted to relate conversation
in the confessional, it is evidence" said
the cardinal, "but the priest ia priv.
ileged from being forced to go on the
stand and tell what has been said to him
in the confessional. This matter wss
established in New York something
like one hundred years ago, in the Oole.
man case, where it WAS laid down that a
priest does not have to tell the converse
ton OF the confessional. "
