such licenses have been issued
annually in London for the last
few years.
Matters now stand at a dead
lock, the registrar, under the
bishop of London's new rule, re-
ferring applicants to the bishop,
and it is well known the latter is
implacably opposed to such mar
rlages and will refuse to sanction
them.
In discussing the matter. q
Well-known official concerned in
church administration said today:
1t is obvious that the decision
must be arrived at very soon that
church law cannot defy the law
OF the land, which says a divorced
person has the right to marry
again, and to marry in church.
Il the chancellor, in obedience to
the bishop, refrains from issuing
q license, and if the bishop re-
fuses one, it is open to the appli-
cant to appeal to the high court
for a mandamus compelling one
church dignitary or the other to
issue the license to which the ap-
plicant is legally entitled. Either
licenses will be issued, or an ap-
plication to the lay judges will
come very soon."

to droRa shovel & dirt on the

sigh, he isn't dead"
Everybody crowded arOund
to listen, and indeed a muff1ed
sigh came from the closed coffin.
The I'D was demolished with
shoveis and axes and the suppos-
eddy dead man was raised.
AlOtti was breathing faintlyand
opened his eyes when one Of the
women talked to him. Meantime
several physicians had arrived.
They investigated and found that
life was not extinct, though there
might only be a spark left left.
An ambulance brought Attioli
to the nearest hospital and he
was brought back to life.

ENTERED F 0 R
STOCK in Stewart
OIL WELL.

New Orleans, Jan. 20. Hap
pie Avery, Of East Baton Rouge
parish, Thursday in, the civil
court of New Orleans, asked an
injunction directed to Charles D.
Stewart of the same parish, and
the Stewart oil company, re-
straining them from disposing of
Il52 shares of the defendant COM
He asked to be recognized
as the owner of an undivided
Ione-half interest in the stock,
which has been issued in the
name of Charles D. Stewart.
MIR. Avery AYERS that he enter
ed into a verbal contract with
Stewart to obtain contracts of
lease on lands in the Vinton oil
field in Calcasieu parish, and to
exploit them. They did acquire
numerous valuable leases Of lands
supposed to carry oil and other
minerals, plaintiff being partic-
ularly active in this direction and
having the leases written in the
name of his verbal partner.
It was agreed that all such
leases should be transferred to a
corporation to be organized of
which Avery and Stewart were
to have 81 per cent of the stock.
Stewart did organize the Stewart
Oil company on Dec. 9, 1910, the
capital stock being fixed at $780,
600, divided into 300 shares, and
it is alleged 152 shares were is
in his name. Claiming that
he, Avery, owns a half interest
in the stock, and that he fears
that Stewart will dispose of it in
some way, judgment and injunc-
ton are prayed for as already re-
lated.

What matters it that still the

Lies unattained? The strife is

Noble, enduring and omnipotent;
Each days a race untried, a

And we, the striyers, are with

Far happier those who see the

Than those whose eager, way

The Shute's Drug Store says to
every person, be it man, woman or
child, who has an irritated, tender or

entirely satisfied with results, come
back and get your money. So conf
dent are we to the efficacy of this
clean. simple treatment, that we

IEMO is a clear liquid for external

eczema, pimples. dandruf and other
forms of skin eruption. zEM0 and
soap are the most economical
as well as the cleanest and most efec-
tive treatment for affections of the

Rupture With the Vatican.


Madrid, Jan. 21.-The rela-
tons of Spain with the Vatican
have undergone no change since
the recall of Senior Ojeda, and
the attitude on either side is one
of expectancy.
Interest is now concentrated
on the question of the modifica-
ton of the concordat, and the
bill regulating the position of the
religious congregations which
will be presented to the Cortes
in March. There seems to be
no prospect of an agreement and
a definite rupture appears prob
able.

MUST REGISTER BIRTHS
OR PAY FINE, SAYS
BOWLING.

A rigid enforcement of thu
state law which makes it com
pulsory for physicians or parents
to register the birth of children
will be the program from now
on, according to DIR. Oscar Dow.
ling, president of the state board
of health, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat
Although there is a law in
existence which makes the regis
tFation Of births compulsory y
said DR.. Bowling. the law is
practically ignored and the peo-
pie register the births If they
please and neglect ii If they so
desire The law fixes q penalty
of $50 for failnre to register,
however, and we are now going
to see that it Is enforced. We
win appoint a registrar in every
ward of the state and have that
person report to the parish Of
ficefs. In this manner the work
win be simplifed and there will
be no excuse for the parents not
registering.
This registration of births is
a duty which the parents owe to
the children as well as to the
compiler of vital statistics. A
true list of statistics can never
be computed until all births are
registered with as great an ae-
curacy as deaths. An ~illustra-
ton of the Importance of regis
tering births is seen in the fol-
lowing true story: A Swiss
couple came to Louisianarecenty
and lived out neara lumber camp.
A child was born. Shortly after
the birth the father was killed,
and for several years the widow
underwent great hardship and
privation in order to support her
self and the child. Then word
came from Switzerland that an
uncle of the child had died and
left a fortune of $12, 900. She
Immediately communicated with
the officials in her native country.
They demanded a certificate of
birth. The physician who was
present at the birth of the child
could not be located, and there
was only the word of the mother
that the child was hers. AS a
consequence the fortune was lost
to the child, and all on account
of a non-registration of its birth
Thus the Importance of this mat
ter cannot be overestimated, and
| consider that it would be an
excellent plan for parents who
have not yetregistered the births
of their children, no matter how
long ago the event occurred, to
do it at once"
DR.. Bowling is very enthusias-
tic over the work which is being
done by the health exhibit train.
and says that education is the
only proper method Of enforcing
the sanitary code.

PAPAL DECREE OF SPE.
CIAL interest TO
CATHOLICS ALI over
The WORLD

Whatever objection ultra fas.
tidious Catholics may have hac
to the wearing of the little brown
piece of cloth that has been en-.
deared to thousands of Catholics
as the scapular or livery of the
Blessed Virgin, and which has
been worn for ages in honor of
the Mother of God, has been re
moved through a decree Of the
sacred congregations, w hi c h
allows those already enrolled Or
who may be enrolled in one or
more of the scapulars the same
privileges and mdulgences for
the singular metal medal.
The following is a translation
of the decree:
Since it is we'll known that the
holy scapulars, asthey are called,

faithful and excm them to reso-
luti0ns for a more holy life in

It is licit for all the faithful
who have been enrolled by the
regular ceremonial, as it is said,
or shall afterwards be enrolled
in one or several of the scapulars
of the genuine kind approved by
the Holy See, to henceforth wear
on their persons, instead of one

observing the laws proper to each,
they may gain and participate in

Mount Carmel not excepted and
all the indulgences attached to
each.
That one side of this medal
must bear the representation OF
Lord Jesus Christ, showing
His most sacred heart, and the
reverse one of the Blessed Virgin
Mary.
That the medal must be blessed
by as many benedictions as num-
Der the scapulars, to be imposed

There is no hope for an increased

a raise in salaries of bandboys among

an increase from SIPS to $23S5 a

The band salary list was consider

"city hall" last night.
The Republican members of the
board are certain to stand for no
higher amount than is now paid. In
order to improve the efficiency Of the
organization, it is recommended that
four members from the twenty-eight
now connected with the band, be
dropped from the rolls.

less be one Of the matters that will
provoke much acrimonious comment

1t is rumored that the Republican
members have several trump cards
up their respective sleeves, and one
or more is expected to turn the trick.
One method now cited which might
persuade Wilson to part company
with city and county position pay
ing two hundred and fifty dollars a
month, would be to cut the salary
to very small figure. 1t is doubt
full whether the board members will
attempt to abolish the office of road
supervisor for this district. This,
it is claimed, might entail extended
litigation in the Territorial courts
Wilson's friends are backing him

wood and saying nothing in regard
to what may turn up when the name
of Wilson is uttered for the first
