OVERHAUL POPE's TRAIN.

The Pope's special train, consisting
of three cars, is being averhauled, but
not because the Holy Father intends
to travel. The train is to be exhibited
at the Rome exposition of 1911 This
train was the gift Of Napoleon III to
the Pope, but arrived in Italy at the
time when the papal states were men
aced by Garibaldi. 1t was therefore
decided to store it in Florence, where
it has remained ever since. OF course.
only the body Of the cars would be
of any use now. the mechanical APP
paratus having become obsolete in
forty years or more. The main car
riage intended for the Pope is very
richly decorated and furnished. The
two other carriages are intended for

CURE FOR LEPROsY PROBABLE

Leprosy, the unconquered scourge
Of the ages, is making what is be-
lieved to be its last stand against
From Molokai. the coral island pris-
on for the plague-stricken in the Ha-
waiian groupe. few words have been
flashed to Washington telling of an
achievement accounted second only TO
the discovery of the lepra bacillus by
Hansen in 1879.
Thre surgeons of the United States
service, after months of unremitting
toll, have grown lepra bacilli in pure
culture outside the human body. and
in thin glass tubes in the laboratory
the loathsome. germs are now growing
in their third generation.
Four times the scientists have taken
the infection from the body of lep-
er and artificially propagated the bac
illus in beef broth egg or the amoeba
of the intestines of a guinea pig. The
work of Dr. Moses I. CIegg. who de-
clared less than a year ago at Manila
that he had found that the bacillus
could be cultivated outside the human
body, is verified and extended.
DR.. Clegg has been rushed from the
Manila scientific station to Molokai to
assist in the experiments.
This achievement is the first step
in the production of a vaccine or a
serum for the cure or prevention of
leprOsy. Precisely the same ground
has been covered by the men who
evolved the diphtheria antit0Xin and
the serum for tetanus. In each of
those cases the growing Of the germ
in pure culture has been the stepping
stone to the cure.
DR.. Clegg has found that by feed
ing the bacillus of cholera to the am
oeba the lepra bacillus did better.
That was supplemented by gelatine.
beef extract and eggs. and within
three weeks the searchers were re-
warded again with living germ.
DR. Currie obtained pure culture,
which means he has eliminated the
amoeba and the cholera bacillus and
now has the lepra bacillus propagating
of itself The others have been grown
through the ten generations.
Aside from the hopes of evoly ing a
serum or vaccine for a prevention
or the cure, the investigators NAV find
leprosine which. like tubercuIin.
would detect the disease in its first
stages.
Brinkerholff, who made some Of the
cultures at Molokai. has just left the
public health and marine hospital ser

THE MILLENARY OF CLUNY.

A thousand years have passed since,
at the invitation of William the Pious.
Duke of Aquitaine, the BenedictineS
settled at Cluny, a little town situated
in narrow valley between twelve
and fifteen miles northwest of Ma
con- in the department of the Saone--
et-Loire, France. Celebrations have
been taking place to commemorate the
thousandth anniversary of the founda-
ton of the abbey, which, as Abbot
Gasquet points out, became so power
full as an institution that it held a
unique place in the history of the
Church. The abbey was at one time
only second to Rome at a center of
Christian influence, and the abbot was
the head of a vast army of subjects
Three POpeS were monks in the man

power? Ii was the general conviction,
due to experience, that they We're true
pioneers of Christian civilization. 1T

that in an age of ignorance and
violence there should be quiet cloisters
and gardens in which the arts of peace
could be safely cultivated; in which
geatle and contemplative natures
could find an asylum; in which one
brother could employ himself in tram

other in meditating the Analytics of
Aristotle; in which he who had
genius for art might illuminate a

in which he who had a turn for

MINISTER'S oUT OF PROPORTION.

We have no fault to find with other
religious bodies for their compare
lively large number of ministers. AS
the world is going al present we would
prefer to see their number on the in
crease rather than otherwise. But, we
submit that they should be more care
full. not to say more charitable when
ever they feel inclined to describe the
Catholic Church as grooming under a
monstrous incubus of ecclesasticism.
1t is a favorite metaphor of goddess
demagogues which, repeated by them
will react to their own discredit and
confusion We venture in conclusion
to assert that neither Spain nor Italy
exceeds. IL il at all equals. the pro-
portion OF priests to the Catholic pop
ulation which we witness in the case
of Protestant bodies and their minis
tiers in the United States.-America.

That there has been in Sussex
county large venal vote there is no
doubt. Part OF this vote so consider
ed has been the colored vo' amount
ing to about two thousand in the
county, In this connection it must be
borne in mind that this is Rcpubli-
can vote. When Republican money IS
plentiful they are remembered; when
not they vote the Republican ticket
just the same. The rest of the vellal
vote really has no politics, but for
years no doubt voted the Republican
ticket. 1t is all accepted fact that i'll
years gone by the influence used was
that o, money by the Republicans in
the last two campaigns, however there
has been change i'll this vote and i'll
the last election there is no doubt that
a large majority of these white venal
voters voted the Democratic ticket. In
Georgetown hundred it is TACT that
at least two-thirds OF what is known as
the purchasable vote voted the Demo
cratic ticket i'll the last election
1T is well to keep this in mind in
anaiyzing the arguments Of the Demo
Gratis. Ii this vcual vote, as has been
proclaimed by the Democratic party
tor the last ten years, has been voting
the Republican ticket and voting 1t
for money, why, especially in this
| campaign, has it voted the Democratic
ticket? There was no campaign Of pub
llcity carried on to any extent by the
Democratic party in the political con-
tests this fan. There was no argu-
I1mlt that the Democrats advanced
that would appeal TO this venal class
OF voters. Remembering that the col
| ored venal vote will and does vote the
Republican ticket without money; re-
inembering also that the venal white
vote. because of the association in
years past, could be considered natu-
| rally Republican vote, the only logi-
| ca! explanation of the change OF the
latter vote to the Democratic party il
! the last campaign is that the same in
iluence which has always controlled

ter oil fact, men who have never beer

voted the Democratic ticket in this
district the last two campaigns.
The Anti-Brbery League was or.

idea that the respective parties should
be induced, of their own volition, to
refrain from the use OF money for the
purchase of votes. This the Demo

UNLIMITED Guests.

W. P. Willaby, who has farm
between Weston and Athena, but is
living at Athera this. winter, paid a
visit to his farm the other day to see
how things were going. He found,
says the Weston Leader, that un-
known guests had extended cordial
invitation to themselves to call at bis
place during his absence. T,ney had
broken into the house and made them
selves fully at home. Empty whisky
bottles were scattered here and there,
the beds were in disorder, and the
contents of the rooms turned topsy
turvy. From appearances the visitors
had built fire, and feasted on jelly
and coffee. these being the only pro-
visions left in the kitchen larder. The
refreshments they brought with them
were contained in the whisky bottles.
Indications are that there were two
men and two women in the party but
beyond this much there is nothing to
disclose their identity. Mr.. Willaby
does not object so much to their visit.
but he thinks they might have been
little less careless with the house
