New York, July 2S.-The battieship

to dtsmember large part OF the bat

The North Dakota went 10 the
Brooklyn Navy Yard two months ago
for the semi-annual examination of her
engines. From all but one OF the tur-
bines the rotars Were removed success

the pert side engines got TANNED. and
1t was found impossible to lift il out.

1t is said, too, that the Delaware,

II would not trust any denomina ton,

The Catholic Church is said to be

Catholic Church. Moreover the Pro-
testants are against the secular public
schools
1T is atrocious. abominable and ex-
orable The Protestant hierarchy go
as far as they dare to prostitute the
public schools to their sectarian pur-
poses. The reason the Protestant au-
tho-itles have fought the Catholics on
the public school question is because
they wished to get control of the
schools themselves. Their feeling is:
