Glllett has made on the whole a

REALLY REPRESENTATIVE

the initiative or the referendum.
Like other forms of political ma
ehinery they are liable to abuse
and perversion OF purpose. But
the direct primary is intended to
give us really representative
government. If it fails, as the con

failed, | might be inclined TO
doubt our capacity for any form
of representative government.

THE PRIEST WHO ELOPED.

Rev. Alphonse N. Oonsolazio,
Catholic priest, Of the Trert,n diocese,
told yesterday 10 Atlantic City The story
of his elopement With 16-year-old Kath-
crime Johann, OF Trenton.
s'It Is trus that I am married." he
said. "Miss johann and l came here
last Monday, and the ceremony WAS
performed by a magistrate. There are
many reasons why took the law into
my own hands. The principal one Is
that l felt I was treated unfairly BY
Bishop McFsul, Of Trenton.
81 came to this country about two
years ago to investigate the conditions
among Italian Catholics. I was sent
here f'om Rome and reported to Bishop
McFsul. heard rumors recently that
Bishop McFaul was making Inquiry
regarding my actIonp. The bishop told
me that he bad proof that stories about
me we're true, but he refused to produce
his evidence, and I went to sea the
delegate.
"Bishop McFaul was evidently furious
that bad gone over bis head. l decidsd
to 60 back to Italy. l went to him and
asked for my credentials. He said l could
have them II would sign paper which
he showed me, Aftsr I had read the doc
ument refused. felt that the contents
would place me In wrong light with
my superiors. The signing of 1t was the
only conditions, he told me, nuder which
he would give me reference. I then
decided to lesvs the diocese, and at
once left Trenton"
The romance had its inception two
years ago, while Miss Johann WAS
travelling with her parents In Naples,
Italy. The young priest, who by his
marriage has accommodated himself,
had not been ordained at that time, but
was q student in the University of
Naples. 1t was case of love at trst
sight.

beauty and lent his rubles and his

prince perhaps Lima never would have
risen higher than the Folies Bergere.
for. after ALL she was n better dancer
than singer at that time. and n more
successful beauty than either sing
er or dancer. But upon the advice
OF the prince she quit the bright lights
Of the theaters and cafes and settled
down to n few years OF hard study.
and when she again made her appear
ance before the public-in Lisbon this
time-it was on the operate stage
and as dangerous rival OF all the
then accepted song birds OF Europe.
Voice culture was not all Cavalieri
had learned In her retirement. The
Russian prince had been teaching her
lessons in love as well Whether
Lima really had learned them or
whether she acted from an impulse
OF gratitude is not certain. but any
way she married the prince and they
lived happily-almost a year.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat. but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said 1t was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face. head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all Of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see If it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason

is unfortunate that the dispatches

1t appears to us up in Massachusetts
as II the city man was just the sort of
man for the farm. The farmer hasn't
