Vice EIaYed by Archbishop.

New Orleans.-Archbishop James
H. Blenk has issued a letter to the
Catholic people Of Louisiana in which
he deplores the immortality of these
times, the divorce evil and the latest
dances.
"The low stand of the pagan times
again prevails in our own times" says
the archbishop.
Immoral plays and immoral NOV
ing picture shows are the scourge of
the United States; our stage is not an
amusement, but crime against God.
The archbishop claims that immo-
rality will stalk forth as long as de.
cent people allow it, but that as soon
as they stop it, it will cease and SO
will the divorce evil.
I'm 1870 there were only 20 divorces
out of every 100000 marriages. In
1900 the percentage was 73 to every
100000"
The bishop deplores the modern
dances, claiming them but the forerun-
ners to hell.

From all corners
of The great State
Doctors Fight It Out.

New Orleans Lively times Mon
day featured the convention of the
doctors of the State Of Louisiana when
DR.. F. J. Mayer, president, and Dr.. L..
r. de Buys nearly had fist fight over
the right of one another to cast in
Elections on the others views.
After that argument quoted down,
DR.. Oscar Bowling, president OF the
Louisiana state board of health, and
head of the section on hygiene and
medicine, withdrew from the conyen-
ton, after doctors present had alleged
that he was trying to bring outsiders
in. DR.. Bowling held his meeting in
the Association Of Commerce rooms.
At midday another argument arose,
when members Of Tulane Medical So
ciety refused to serve the delegates
with lunch, because the meeting had
been changed from Tulane Medical
College to the Grunewald hotel.

SENATE PASSED BILL FOR VOLUNTEER ARMY
Prompt Organization Provided for by
Revising Laws of 18e8-MiIitary
Strength About 10000.

Washington. - Prompt organization
of volunteer army for service in
Mexico, or in any other crisis, would
be provided for in house bill passed
Monday by the senate with amend
ments.
The bill would revise the law under
which a volunteer force was formed
for the Spanish-American war in 1898.
It's authors claim that a volunteer
force could be raised more quickly
than under the existing law; that 1t
would prevent the payment of boun-
ties; would do away with short term
of enlistment by making the terms
of volunteers the same as those in
the regular army; would procure the
necessary number of men at thu be-
ginning of the war for long period,
thus making drafting unnecessary,
and would decrease the pension lists
after the war.
Unlike the present law, the bill
would provide for the recruiting of all
organizations of land forces. This
would include training service, to
which duty partly disabled officers
would be assigned when superseded
by able-bodied men at the front.
Another change in the existing law
would give the president, instead of
the governors of the states, authority
to appoint all officers for the volun-
teer forces, requiring him to give pref
erence in their selection to those who
have had military training and instruc'
ton in the regular army national
guard, volunteer forces or military
schools.
Instead of the volunteer forces wait
ing to be called into service until the
organized militia Of all arms has been
called, it would permit the organiza-
ton of volunteers of a particular arm
as soon as the militia of that particu-
lar arm had been put into service.
Another provision is that the num-
Der and grade of officers should be
the same in the volunteer forces as in
the regular army
The present strength of the organ
lied militia, including both officers
and men, is approximately 10000.
The civilian soldiers are divided in
part as follows: Texas, 1851; Arkan-
sas, 1859; Louisiana, 1,142; New Mex
leo, GAS; Oklahoma, esq.,

mad little effect. After the early de-
