BISHOP OF SODO'S
 BODY STILL INTACT

Rome, A pril S.-(Special) )-What Is con- sidered a miracle is the fact that the body of the Bishop of Sodo. which was buried + years ago at Ceretto-Sannita, and recently disinterred, was found to be as well preserved and free from signs of decomposition as when it was placed in the coffin. The public has been flock ing to the spot from miles round, and e filing past the body as it lies in the coffin, and many of the more emotional are giving way to religious fervor. The tomb is guarded by police to prevent the devotees carrying away relics.

 Since the debate in the English houses of commons and lords the congregation of the sacraments is examining the situ- ation caused by tho marriage legislation of three years ago, by which the mar riage of Catholic with a non-Catholc is invalid unless contracted before a Cath ollie priest and two witnesses. An English prelate has been delegated to put the facts before the papal authorities to en- able them to decide whether or not it may be advisable to introduce modifica- tions in the law. As the question is as important for America as for England owing to the frequent mixed marriages which take place and which are at pres ent invalid in the eyes of the Catholic church, 1t is likely that American prela1es will be consulted.

FRANCE GROUPING ITSELF IN LEAGUES Outcome of a Profound Ma
 ti0nal Division MONIS' PURPOSE SEEN New Government Has Let Slide Most Important Matter of Railroad
 Troubles and Disappoint-
 ment Ensues
By GEORGE DUFREsNE

Paris, April s.-(Special)-A far as can see. all France Is grouping itself into leagues. If the objects were social and moral betterment. nothing could be said against them, but they are the outcome of profound national division in matters connected with the essential interests of the country Gradually France is being covered with multitude of hostile camps, every part of the community feeling obliged to organize itself against assault.
 The army, it has been said, is the last rampant of France. But the officer and the sub-officer are growing restive. There is discomfort in every garrison, and the military syndicate Is approaching ac- complishment. There Is an officers jour nal with 4O00 subscribers. The tone of its articles contains menace that is be- ginning to fill ministerial minds with ap- prehension. The way promotions have been made in the last few years has cre- ated profound discontent. Political in- fiuence rather than soldierly service is the touchstone of successful military careers. There are hundreds of officers who have been forced to retire from the army because the position was intoler- able and they have formed themselves into a league. Sixty-three generals be- long to it. In recent debate in the chamber one could not help being struck with the development of tendencies to an association of military malcontents with the labor.
 The real purposes of the Monis admin istraton are being seen It does not do to trust too much to ministerial declara ticns. It was thought that the most i'm portant matter in connection with railroad troubles was to put an end to sabotage and to punish the evildoers The new government, however, has let the matter slide giving the preference to restorative pensions for railroad employees. The bill when applied will cost the railroad com panies 240.Oo0,000 francs. The stockhold CTS, in fact, will be punished for the great strike. N. Berteaux, minister of war. is bent on the discharged employees being taken back. On the western state line only 50 men are now in disgrace, but it appears that they are receiving their pay all the same. It is a world upside down. and workmen would be fools not to play the game for all it is worth. Meanwhile, Citizen Pataud, now that M. Briand has disappeared. is becoming au- thoritative. He went to the ministry of the interior a few days ago to demand reinstatement of the electricians dis missed from their employment for strike reasons. He was received by the princi- pal secretary. but his majesty, King" Pataud peremptorily declined to have dealings with anyone exceput the min ister himself. Depend upon it, he will have his way. May Is approaching and the labor confederation is quietly prepar- ing the ground. There Is pleasant time in store. 4s

For many months an effort has been made to unravel the tangle caused oy M. Duez, the liqudator of the property which was originally owned by the monks and nuns. Something like order has been reduced from the chaos, for the case will come before jury on Wednesday, April 12.
 It is said that about 4000 questions will have to be submitted to the jury. To read out these questions to the jury will occupy five hours, and 1t is computed that, even if the jury reeled off their an swers at rapid rate they would be oc- cupied IA hours.
 Independent of these 4000 questions the jury will have numerous other mat ters to consider There is Duez himself. He has played a great role, and 1t is fully expected that when he appears in the Assixe court the questions put to him and his replies thereto will not lack interest

FROGS IN SUPREME COURT

An uncommon case was lately
fought before the German tribunals
right up to the supreme court in
Leipsic.
Two neighbors lived for a siong
time in close friendship until one
of them had an artificial pond con-
structed in his garden. Af'er
time a number of frogs appeared in
the pond, and their croaking was so
loud and continuous as TO deprive
the ncighboring family of its night
ly rest.
The disturbed family OBJ; ected
and relying on law which for5 is
anyone from diminishing the value
Of another's property, requested the
pond owner TO make arrangements
for keeping the frogs within bounds.
The pond owner replied that he
was not to blame for the musical
activity of the frors. which he had
not placed in the pond.
The first tribunal un'eld the
pond owner on tie ground that the
frogs were dispcnsation Of nature
which must be put up with like the
sun and rain. The Judgment was
upset by the next higher tribunal
and the decision of the latter was
affirmed by the supreme court
The supreme court reasoned that

OLD FISH TRAP DESTROYED
sdlssourl Continuance That Dates
Away Back From Time o.
the indians.

Emmett c. Higgins and Otto
Witt, game wardens, destroyed with
dynamite the fish trap on the Chari-
ton river. It had been in use for
many years and was netting its own
er from $4,000 to $500 a year.
Ben Clark. the owner Of the place,
protested that he had purchased the
trap along with the farm and that
the fishing rights had been handed
down for years to the owners Of the
farm.
He declared that he could not be
deprived Of them by law. There
were many farmers waiting around
the trap for supply of fish, for
which they paid four cents a pound.
The fish usually caught in the trap
were buffalo, cat, carp and croppy,
weighing from one to fifty pounds.
Catfish weighing 100 pounds have
frequently been caught in the old
trap.
The trap was a curious invention.
consisting of heavy timbers placed
midway Of the stone dam. Fish
coming down stream would float
into it. The catch for a day would
frequently fill an ordinary farm
wagon. It is said that the dam and
trap were originally built by the In
dams. The owners have cleared
more money from the sale Of fish
than from the produce of the farms.
Frequent complaints have been made
made of this method of catching
fish, but until few days ago no
action was taken.-Kansas City

Kew TYFE OF WAR BALLOON
Zorn Vessel Is Maze in Three Parts,
Separated and United a:
Pleasure.

Count Frederick Won Moltke.
nephew of the great field marshal.
has formed a company to construct
fleet of airsl,ins especially de-
signed for military purposes. The
government has promised to assist
the enterprise as soon as trial diri-
gible has been finished and tested.
The vessels will be capable Of
carrying light guns and a quantity
of explosives. The type chosen is q
peculiar triple Zorn balloon. which
within a single framework OF Cana
dian fir contains really three motor
balloons, each with its own motor,
and each detachable in two minutes,
together with its own share of the
framework.
Thus, on arrival over the enemy,
the front balloon can be quickly de-
tached to take back to headquarters
any dispatches, photographs, etc. !;
the rear balloon can follow with
later news, while the middle part re-
mains to take part in the fight and
drop bombs over the enemy. All
three parts can be put together
again rapidly.
The whole construction is $50
feet long. The effective lifting DOW
or after deduction of the airship's
own weight and the weight of the
cars and machinery is 1000
pounds. The entire framework can
be quickly dismounted in sections
Each part of TIE triple balloon can
also be anchored separately.
