a verdict of 81 go. The railroad CON-
pany appealed the case to the superior
court of Pennsylvania.
After carefully examining into the
merits Of the case, the superior court
handed down a decision confirming the
verdict of the lower court granting the
said Mr. Banks the sum Of 81 $50, with
interest from the time Of the lower
courts decision.
1t was brought out in this trial that
when entering the employ Of the Pull
man company each employee is re-
quired to sign a release Of all claims
for damages which may subsequently
accrue for injuries sustained, whether
or not such injuries were caused by
negligence Of the Pullman company or
Of the railroad company hauling its
cars.
By its terms this contract is made to
inure to the benefit Of the carrying rail
road The real question in this case
was whether or not such contracts
are valid The superior court held
that neither the Pullman company nor
the railroad company can relieve itself
from liability for negligence by such a
contract 1t is the policy Of the law OF
the state Of Pennsylvania that a COM
mon carrier cannot by contract relieve
itself from liability for fits own negh-
gence.
In having the courage to press this
matter and test the laws Of Pennsyl-
vania Mr.. Banks has found a way that
will force this and other great corpo-
ratiOns to have a more just regard for
the life and safety Of their employees
and has also placed many hundreds OF
his hard working fellow laborers under
lasting obligations to him for this VIC
tory that means so much in their be-
half.

The Holy League
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TINE Holy League" was
signed by the various con-

The organizer Of the league was
julius Second, the Fighting
Bishop" of Rome. Jealous of the
French rule in Italy, which Sc
riously threatened his temporal
dominion in the peninsula, Ju-
Illus induced Macmillan, Ferdi-
nand. Henry the Eighth of Eng

him in expelling the French from
their Italian possessions. It was
in the war following the forma-
ton of the league that the young
French knight CASTOR de Folk,

winner; and it was largely ow-

four years contest, got the bet

1t is not, however, with the
final result of the war, or even
with the brilliant career of Gas
ton de Folk, that we are especial
ly concerned here, but with the
very important fact that It was
out OF the Holy League that
there grew the famous theory
known as the Balance of Power,
a theory that dominated Euro
pean diplomacy from the days OF
the league right down to the Ber-
lin Congress Of 1878.
The Balance Of Power the
DRY, in times quite recent, gave
way to the Non Intervention
idea, by which the States imme-

From before Menes, the first
king of the first dynasty recorded
by Manetho, B. c. $500, to the
overthrow of ancient worship by
the Romans. Osiris, his goddess,
Isis, and son, Horus, were the
central national deities of Egypt.
And see this, the long inclined
stone-lined entrance to the sub
terranean chambers OF Osiris Is
now being cleared Of thousands
OF years of accumulated detrttus
and debris. Corridors are ex-
tending onward, and these lead,
beyond doubt, to chambers Allied
with the choicest works of sa-
cred art, gems and precious
things dedicated to beloved Isis
and adored Osiris. The very an
cient tradition that the Veil of
Isis may be removed at some
period may now be on the eve of
coming true.
If war could only end and the
wealth worse than wasted be
