Abraham Lincoln of the Mexican repub-
lie. The fiestas and romerias, such as
the annual pilgrimage to Guadalupe, the
Passion Play at Tabuca, and the vener-
alton Of the sacrosanct at Amecameca,
entailed such drain on the energies of
the people that things were almost at
a standstill. There were some 5000 nuns,
monks and priests in the republic. and
they held property valued at $4,000, COO
one-third of the entire wealth of the
nation. High. salaries were paid. the
Archbishop of Mexico drawing $4,000,
the Bishop of Puebla $4,000 and others
in proportion.
When Juarez came into the cabinet of
President Alvarez he secured the passage
of law ending the jurisdiction of spe-
cial courts which had been created for
the purpose of exercising jurisdiction over
all cases In which the church or the
army or any of their members were
interested. The church boldly denounced
this act as an interference with its rights
and attempted to carry through a mill
tary revolt against it,. The revolution
was put down, and enough Of the prop
erty of the church was sold to pay the
cost of subduing the revolutionists Later.

the church was sold and the proceeds

reform war was fought and the church
was defeated, with the result that the
reform laws were proclaimed in 1850, and
Mexico was declared a country free from
the domination of the church, the power
Of the clergy was broken, a civil mar

TO BUILD BIG DAM.
And Flood Acres of Land Mt Far From
 City of Meriden.

That the city of Meriden did not purchase all the water rights to Bald wins pond when the big deal fas con- summated, whereby $500 was paid for Baldmere has been brought out in the new development plans for 8 pond three times as large as Baldmere to be owned by private individuals who will claim rights previously denied tEem. The new pond, says the Mer- iden Record, will be flooded over a strip of land just below the Baldwin dam on property which is owned by Mary Baldwin. The city for years has been diverting water from the land of Mary Baldwin and it is claim ed has refused to pay any compensa- tiOn for water so taken. Those in con- trol of affairs said repeatedly that Mrs. Baldwin had no water rights of value on the stream.
 The land which might have been obtained for comparatively small sum Of money at any time during the long period of years is now apparently placed beyond the reach of the city authorities. Piles of crushed stone, rumor that Ransom l.. Baldwin and Wesley E. Ives who it is now said own the land, are about to build thereon a cement ram with foot core and 200 feet long thoroughly equipped with water wheels providing excellent power in quantities and which will hold back valurne of wa ter of an average depth of g feet and covering more than acres making a pend more than three times as large as the present Baldwin pond.

 Hurry up, please. There is aasick woman at No. 132."
 The man inside said "All right and in a few seconds both men were rae ing down the street>to No. 132. In the top floor front room lay a very sick woman. The newcomer pulled a small table to- the bedside and took from his pocket sheet of paper and fountain pen.
 What on earth are you doing with that?" said the man who had summon ed him. You're a nice doctor, you are.'
 Doctor echoed the man. s'I'm not a doctor; I'm a lawyer. Didn't you read the sign, Lawyers night beHy'
 But what does a lawyer need of a night bell?' the other man asked.
 1'To enable the people who want to make wills in the dead of night to find him readily" was the reply.
 "Once in a while Pm called up to straighten out more serious entangle- ments, but most of the legal papers I write after 10 D. m. are wills. A lot of people who take sick suddenly recol- lect that they have never made a will and they want to repair the omission while there is time.

Washington July 7.-1n briquettes of lig- nite, the government bureau of mines be- lieves it has developed a fuel supply that will be of immense value to the west, where high-grade coal can be obtained only at excessive cost A powerful ma chine brought from Germany has solved the difficulty which hitherfore has linn tied the manufacturers of briquettes.
 Lignite in form of brown colored coal found in great abundance in North and South Dakota, Montana, Texas and other western states. It's tendency to slack soon after being mined makes it trouble some to transport, and it does not burn readily on account of the presence of be- tween 30 and 10 per cent of moisture. The bureau of mines conducted the eXperi ments at Wiliston, N. D., and developed d furnace that will burn Ignite satisfac- tory. Now that the experiments have gone far enough to indicate that briquet- tes can be made successful, the bar to transportation of Ignite seems to have been removed.
 Charles E. Wright of the board esti- mates the cost of briquettes loaded at the mines at $2 .51 ton in Texas, 3.5S in North Dakota and &.24 in California.
