Catholic France Grows.

Instead Of the dire fate predicted by
the Pope for the Catholic Church when
separated from the government, il is
said that church in France has gone
forward since separation as II never did
when a part OF the state. Formerly, in
order to effect changes Of almost any
kind, permission OF the State had to be
first obtained. AS they could not al
ways be had, there were many abuses.
Freed from state alliance, a revival Of
religion and Of church building has
come, so that greater progress has been
made in Paris alone during the last two
years Of separation than during a hun
dred years previously OF dependence on
the State.
Exactly as in Protestant bodies, church
extension societies have been formed in
the Catholic Church in the principal
cities OF France. These have built
churches in new neighborhoods, have
divided old parishes and provided new
churches in SUFFICIENT numbers that all
who wish may attend public worship.
In Paris proper nine more parishes have
been formed. in the archdiocese fifteen
more, and in the district twenty-four
new chapels have been created. To
comply with the French separation law
per cent Of the amounts expended
in churches - paid TO the government,
but the latter returns the entire sum to
the church in the form Of gifts.
The Paris Church Building Society has
Just held its second annual meeting. The
new archbishop Of Paris Cardinal
Annette, presided and praised the work
accomplished. He rejoiced In the sepa-
ration 30 far as It secured liberty for
the Catholics such as they enjoy in
America, but added that in and around
Paris are still 100000 persons almost
completely deprived Of Christian privi-
leges owing to the distance OF their
homes from the churches. Cardinal
Annette says the immediate work before
the new society is to provide for these.

The Trend Of Things
Chinese Buy Bibles.

Chinese Buy Bibles.
In its eagsrness for Western inteHi-
Eenee, especially sincst the departure Of
the Manchv fulership. the people Of
China are demanding Bibles in excess Of
numbers which the American Bible So
ciety finds itself financially able to sup
ply. DR.. Hykek the societys agent IN
China, reports that prejudice has disap-
peared with the Manchus. and that China
really wishes at last TO md out what
Christianity really Is. The Chinese and
others buy Bibles. but they do not al
ways pay all Of the cost. The society,
appropriated 1890 this year for Bible
work for the Chinese, but It win not Il
is now STATED, meet the demands Of
these wide-awake revolutioniEed peoples.
Owing to the disturbed conditions OBJ
tanning last year the sales OF some col
porters fen on 5000 to 12,Ooo copies. Yet
in spite Of Drawbacks the sales last year
increased in the whole country 15,coO cop
les. As never be 'ore there are dialect
Bibles TO meet these new demands OF
this year. The question Is solely the
cost Of manufacture and distribution be-
yond the amounts paid by the purchas-
ers. The Bible society is now asking
whether the churches will see ito It that
no one In China who desires q Bible
shall be compelled TO go without one.

Detectives Give up Search

Creston, Aug. 21.-Special: Word
comes from Villisca that the Hayes
and Burns detective agencies have
given up the work on the Morris-Stil-
linger murder case and Detective
OLeary is reported as saying he had
given up all hope Of ever finding the
murderer. 1t is said the man Saw
yer, of whom so much has been said
connecting him with the crime, has
been located at Lark, N. D., but so
convinced are the Montgomery coun-
ty officials and Detective O'Leary that
he is not the murderer and had no
hand in the crime that Sawyer will
not even be brought back to Iowa for
q hearing. The agents Of both the
Burns and Hayes agencies say they
have followed every clue possible and
in no instance have they been able
to find the least tangible evidence and
they are no nearer the solution of
the mystery now than they were the
very first morning after the tragedy.
