MERRY DEL VAL BLAMED
For the Rupture Between the Vati-
can and the Spanish Govern
ment-A-Bit of History.

Rome, Aug. 26-The rupture be-
tween the, Vatican and the Spanish
government has served to bring Car
dinal Merry del Val, the papal secre-
tary of state, once more into the lime
light Americans will recall the fact
that it was Merry del Val who con-
Quoted the negotiations for Colonel
: Roosevelt's proposed audience with
the pope, and who was afterward
blamed, by reason of his Spanish
blood, for the Vatican's faux pas. And
now it is the same Merry del Val who
is charged with maneuvering to over
throw the existing government in
Spain because of the latter's alleged
hostility to the church Of Rome.
Ever since he became papal secre-
tary of state seven years ago, the
cardinals regime has been tempestu-
GUS. Over and over aoain it has been
reported that he was about to resign,
and once indeed his resignation was
at least offered His position is natu-
rally a very difficult and laborious
one. It demands the greatest amount
of tact, common sense and executive
ability. The secretary of state has
nothing whatever to do with spiritual
matter, but stands between the pope
and the rest of the world to see that
his will is carried out, and all the de-
partments and subordinate organiza
lions of which the church is composed
are directly responsible to him.
Merry del Val is the son of Span
lard, who for many years filled the
post of Spanish ambassador to the
Vatican He was born in England and
educated there, which has led many
to suppose that his mother was an
English woman and that he is partly |
English in his sympathies. This is a
mistake, as both his parents were
Spanish, and he was educated in Eng
land because his father was at that |
time an iron merchant in that coun-
try.
Both the cardinal and his father
played an important part in the late
war between Spain and the United
States. AS is well known, the sympa-
thies at the Vatican were entirely pro-
Spanish at the outset of the war,
which was only natural in view of
the close relations then existing be-
tween Spain and the Vatican. Merry
del Val and his father, the Spanish
made every effort to
have the influences of the Vatican eX-
erueu rns-farvr Or=s5paTn. But
war proceeded it was realized in
Rome that the American Catholics
would resent any interference so
strongly as to make it dangerous to
he welfare of the Catholic church in
he United States and the Vatican re-
NAMED neutral, outwardly, at least.
Several years later Merry del Val
was selected to succeed Cardinal Mar
inelli as papal delegate to the United
States, but the appointment was never
made, probably because of an intima

educational Campaign EfFectIve.


In the states of the United States In
which the most preventive anti-tuber-
culosis work has been done the per-
centage of public funds spent Is the
highest, while in states where little or
no effort has been made to prevent tu-
berculosis, and the treatment of the
disease alone has been considered. the
percentage of public expenditures Is
very low. For instance. of the 81 .600.-
600 spent in New York In 1909, near
ly so per cent. was from state and city
funds. In Massachusetts nearly two
thirds was from public money; In
Maryland about cne-half, and in Penn
sylvania three-fourths. In Colorado,
on the other hand, less than one per
cent. was from public money: In Cal
ifornia about Is per cent, and in Ari-
iona none at all. These facts indi-
cate. the national association declares.
that wherever an aggressive educa-
tional campaign has been carried on
by private organizations, states and
cities have been induced to make lib
eral appropriations for the prevention
of tuberculosis.

SPECIAL CAR SERVICE
ON PEOPLES LINES

In Difference to numerous requests.
General Manager Crook. of the Peo-
ple's Railway Co., today announced
the extension of the special opera
trolley service in the evenings, which
now exists only on jefferson street.
The service Will be extended to the
Rising SaR and Rockford Park lines.
Beginning next Monday car viii
leave thBa western terminus of the
Rockford Park line at 7.30 o'clock
each evening, and will run direct to
Brandywine Springs. returning TO the
Rockford Park line terminus as SOON
after the opera as is practicable; and
at 715 o'clock each evening a car
Will leave the terminus of the Rising
Sun line. which is at Hunters store.
and it viii run direct to the Springs
without change. returning to the ter
minus of the Rising Sun line after the
opera.
The patronage of the Jefferson
street line has been such as to re-
quire the service to be doubled, and
theer is reason to believe that per-
sons living along the Rising Sun and
Rockford Park lines will show the
same appreciation.
