OUT WITH THE
METHOD|STS
NOW ALSO
Cardinal Del Val Said
to Have Been Re-
sponsibIe for Pope's
Attitude.

ROME, April 6.-The chief develop
ment of the Vatican incident yesterday
was Colonel Roosevelt's reputation of
the stand taken by the Methodists here
in attacking the Vatican for its posi-
ton in regard to an audience for the
former President The Metbedists in
terpret the refusal Of the President to
accept the conditional invitation to
an audience with the Pope as an en-
dorsement of their work
Apparently reasoning along these
lines the Rev, Mr. Triple, minister in
charge of the Methodist here, yester-
day issued a statement attacking the
Vatican for STIMULATING that the audi
ence with the Pope should be condi-
toned on the former President refusing
to address the Methodists. Colonel
Roosevelt is greatly displeased at Tip
announced that he will not hold re-
ception arranged by the American
Methodist Mission of this city.
The announcement that Colonel
Roosevelt had repudiated Tipple's ac-
ton caused almost as great a sensat ion
as did the original Vatican incident
and -Romanists who applauded the
stand taken by Roosevelt are begin
ming to realize that they have not
achieved as great a victory as they
thought
The whole affair has caused more dis
cussjon than Rome has known in years.
That so broadminded and eminent a
man as the former President of the
United States should have been invited
to the Vatican only on condition that
he put a slight upon those Of his fell
low countrymen who do not acknow1-
edge the Catholic faith is considered
unfortunate to say the least
Many prominent Catholics including
members of the sacred college of ear
dinals, yesterday expressed their dis
approval of the action taken by the
Vatican authorities.
Cardinal Merry del Val, as adviser
of the Pope, is generally blamed for
the whole unfortunate occurrence. The
father of Cardinal del VAL former
Spanish ambassador to the Vatican,
stated Yesterday that il seemed provi-
Dental that his son should be the man
to humble the pride Of the Yankee
Elk President.
4 controversy of considerable bit
terness seems likely to develop out
Of the incident.

A Wise Investment.

The United States paid Russia
s7,000,o00 in 1867 for the territory now
known as Alaska During the last
thirty years, or since the time when
placer mining began, this territory has
enriched this country by its gold out
put alone to the extent of s161,000,0oo;
while the exploitation of its resources
in copper, coal and other minerals has
hardly begun. The interest in the
Alaskan mining situation is kept alive
by frequent discoveries Of new dis
tricts in which placer mining may be
carried on at a profit.
The latest bulletin of the geological
survey concerning this territory, gives
reliable information concerning the
Innoko gold placer district with &C
counts of the Central Kuskokwin val
ley and the Ruby Creek and Gold Hill
placers as we'll as the new Haiditarod
district. The Innoko river is a tribu-
tary of the lower Yukon and the
Haiditarod is a tributary of the lower
Innoko. The Kuskowin is the second
largest river in Alaska.
The recent discoveries indicate that
this whole tract is rich in gold and
that the gold bearing district extends
much further southwest than was
originally SuppGsnd Last wear gold
to the value Of S300,0 was taken
from the Innoko district. The bulle-
tin says of the newly found gold
placers in the Haiditarod district that
they may prove to be more important
than those on the headwaterS of the
Innoko. Placer-gold has also been
found on Otter Creek which flows into
the Haiditarod.
This continued increase in the gold
output from Alaska has some bearing
upon the prices of products if the
theory that gold regulates these prices
is correct, but in any event it is GER
tain that the S7,O0O.000 invested in
Alaska was an exceedingly wise stroke
of business.

LANDES SHEPHERDS.
French Peasants Who Are Experts In
Walking on Stills.

There is vast district in France
where the entire community goes about
and transacts its business on stills
This district IS called Lies Landes''
The inhabitants, who are among the
poorest peasants who are among the
subsistence by fishing, by such little
agriculture as is possible and by keep
ing cows and aheep. The shepherds
make use of their stills for two pur-
poses-first, because walking p quite
impossible on account of the sage and
underground of brush. and, second. be-
cause the height of their stills gives
them a greater range Of vision.
The stills generally are about six or
seven feet high Near the top there IS
support for the foot, which has u
strong stirrup and strap, and still near
er the top a band of leather fastens the
silt firmly to the leg just below the
knee. Safe stills, especially those mad"
for fancy walking and for tricks, arc
even higher than seven feet, and the
man who uses ttese-and he must be
an expert-can travel as fast as ten
miles an hour. The lower end OF this
kind of silt is capped with a sheep
bone to prevent it's splitting.
Some of these Landes shepherds are
wonderfully clever in the management
of their stiits. They run races. step
or jump over brooks. clear fences and
walls and are able to keep their ball
arce and equilibrium while STOPPING To
the ground to pick up pebbles or to
gather wild flowers. They fall prone
