Mr.. William Skinner, of Concord,
Commits Suicide.

Concord, n. c., June 19.-Cold in
death, his breast pierced by a pistol
bullet, the body of Mr.. William Skin
ner was found in Oakwood Cemetery
yesterday evening at $50 O'Clock.
The weapon of destruction was lying
near the body, bearing mute witness
to the tragic ending of a good man.
The deed had been committed some
two hours before the body was dis
covered. Mr.. Skinner was going to-
ward the cemetery about 4 O'Clock,
but was not seen afterwards until
three ladies strolling through the
cemetery came upon his lifeless body.
Mr.. SINNERS mind had evidently
become unbalanced. Since the death
OF his wife he had not been in his
usual spirits, and at times was very
respondent and gave evidences of in
sanity. He moved to Charlotte about
six months ago and only returned to
Concord last Thursday He called at
the post-office Friday and inquired
about his mail, saying he was pen
niless and was looking for a letter
from his landlady in Charlotte.

CATHOLICS IN AN UPSTIR.
Cardinal Del Val Soundly Criticised
for Trouble i'm Germany-Pope
Deeply Grieved Over the Situation
Church Has Lost Much in Ger
many.

Rome, June 20-The Catholic
church is facing a crisis that is with
out precedent in its cardinal history
and rumors current here today that
Merry Del Val. the Cardinal secre-
tary of state will resign his position
and be succeeded by a cardinal who
will be able to deal more diplomati-
cally with the situation that con-
fronts the vatican.
1t is known that Pope Plus X is
deeply grieved over the storm raised
in Germany by the Boromeo ency-
clical and the threat that Spain will
break off all negotiations en- the con-
cordat revision, If the vatican pro-
tests against the royal recognition of
other denominations.
The result is likely to be startling
change and the recent episode has
lost him many supporters in the col
lege OF cardinals and as result he
will gain no great sympathy in his
papal circles.
The secretary's critics say that at
the best he is maladroit. The Roose
welt incident was bad, they point
out, but it was nothing compared to
his latest mistake which has caused
the supreme pontiff to bow humbly
under a message from the Prussian
minister which has been declared
the haughtiest address sent to a
pope since Hildebrand." Declaring
that the pontiff has insulted them,
kings, princes and people of Pro-
testant Germany, the minister said:
we hold you responsible for the
consequence and you must order your
bishops to forbid the reading of the
encyclical in German pulpits."
Just how far Del Val is responsible
for the necyclical is problematical
but it is felt that even if the author
ship was not his, as secretary of
state, he should have prevented the
PRONUNCIATION of so fatal a document.
