DESCRIBE ITALY'S
 WAR PREPARATIONS
Passengers Aboard Steamer Sant Anna Which Reached New York Today
 From Italian Ports.

New York, June 1.-Passengers of the steamship Sant Anna, which reached here today from Naples, Palmero and Marseilles, gave vivid description of Italy's preparations for war. Several of those aboard, includ- ing Oliver B. Hartman, private secre- tary to Henry P. Fletcher, American mbassador to Chile, said they had seen Italian troop ships heavily laden with troops sail out of Naples and Palmero five and six days before war was declared. -se..-
 Three of the transports sailed from Naples, two from Palermo said Mr. Hartman. They were crowded ap- parently to capacity with Italian troops. An immense crowd at each place came down to the water front to see. them steam away. Thousands of flags fluttered goodbye. the bands were playing, and the throngs cheered and sang patriotic songs.
 There were warships in the harbor at both places and I assume that some of them conveyed the transports.
 The three transports left Naples Bay May IS and the other two we saw left Palermo the next day. did not learn where they were going"
 The destination of these troops, ap- parently was the Island of Rhodes, off the coast of Asia Minor. Cable des- patches received here shortly before the war declared told of the sending of troops there Some of the Sant' Anna's passengers had heard reports. which they say they believed to be trustworthy. that the troops were headed for the Dardanelles.

It Is almost impossible to exag- gerate the necessity for fragrant and aromatic herbs. Fragrant spicy, or frankly medicinal odors are more healthful than we know. Such plants al rosemary, mint, thyme, tansy, law ender musk. clove, fennel, when ex- posed to the sun, have been proved to increase the ozone in the air. When dried, their penetrating and lasting fragrance keeps the air sweet in our wardrobes, our. sitting-roorns, and our bedrooms.

single coat, you aoou1d be bound TO take 1t
off and sell 1t, in order to obtain this grace"
To make his appeal for the money the more
irresistible Tetzel told the people why the
Pope was SO anxious to rebuild ST. Peters
He said that the old church had fallen into
dllapidatlon, and that the bodies of Saint
Peter and Saint Paul were exposed to the
rain and the hail, SO that these bodies were in
a state Of "rottenness."
Tetzel exclaimed, "Ah! are these sacred
ashes to remain longer in mud and disgrace?"
Addressed in passionate manner to a de-
vout, ignorant, Catholic audience, what nat
ural effect did such an appeal have?
The German peasants did not know that
Pope Leo X. was the most icentious and
profigate prince in Christendom They did
not know that the bodies Of Paul and Peter
were not at Rome, but had been lost and for
gotten dust for thousand years. They did
not know that the Bible gave no sanction
whatever to mans forgiveness of sin, much
less the forgiveness of soul that had died
in sin.
Compare Tetzels methods with the widows
mite?
Compare the wringing of millions of ducats
out of the terorized German Catholics, qoith
the modest, voluntary charity Of the Hebrew
aOoneun?
Upon my word, [ think the brassiness Of
Sharkey is even greater than that of Tetzel!
AS matter of fact, indulgences are on sale,
in quieter way, Ia every Romanist country
In the world.
The late Secretary of State, John Hay,
tells in his book "Castilian Days." how they
are regularly sold in Spain.
They are sold, not only in Mexico and
South America, but IN these United States,
RIGHT NOW
Every Purgatorial Society in America is
selling indulgences under the thin disguise
of admission fees to the society.
The New York branch sells these indul-
gences for $40. The Mount Angel Monks
(Oregon) sell them for $50
The Tetzels of the Mount Angel Monastery,
Oregon, go further than Tetzel went They
publish picture of the souls that are in the
flames of torment, and Of the souls which
the priests are praying out.
In this infamous picture. the Oregon Tet-
zels represent God seated in the Heavens, sur
rounded by angels, and looking down with
approval upon the Romanist priests qoho are
praying the soul out Of purgato1y
AND THE PRICE IS FIFTY DOL
LARS!
Tetzel used to do it for twelve pence; but,
you see, while the monks were as greedy and
the Roman Catholics just as idotic in Tet-
zels day, money was scarcer.
What could then be peddled for twelve
pence, now costs from $40 to $50.
If there are many souls still left in purga-
tory, after so many billions Of dollars have
been spent buying them out it must surely
have been badly crowded place, when Pope
Alexander VI. opened the buy-'em-out mar
ket.
Confound this fellow, Sharlzey!
Doesn't he read the Roman Catholic papers
and magazines? Doesn't he know that we
are watching those periodicals?
In almost the exact words which Tetzel
