OBEYING
TALLYRAND.

1t is said that religious enthusiast
once sought Tallyrard and announc-
ed that he was about to inaugurate a
new system of faith in France. The
great diplomatic told him he must
first allow himself to be crucifed.
The man left disappointed. 1t seems,
however, that a man in California,
suffering under the strain of too
much spiritual steam, determined to
adopt Tallyrand's suggestion.
Attempting self-crucinxion, q
stranger, who gave his name as
Thomas D. Thornton, caused great
confusion among thu worshipers at
St. Mary's Cathedral in San Fran
cisco last Sunday, when, with a
length Of gas pipe, he drove fotr-
inch spike through each instep ard
nailed one Of his feet to the floor. He
uttered no cry of pain, and was re-
strained by ushers who were suu-
moned by those Near him. The ac-
ton took place while the most sacred
portion of the Roman Catholic mass
was in progress. The fact that the
congregation was kneeline gave the
man the opportunity to remove his
SHOES unnotlced and drive the nails
before being interfered with. 1t was
necessary 70 use a hammer to pry
the spikes loose.

ture were preparing to test the con-

Gazette. while doubling the prach-
cability of prohibition, but acting up
on true democratic principle, accepted
the verdict of the people and sug-
pested that as prohibition was an ac-
complished fact that the law should
be enforced. We read few days
later that those opposed to the mea-
sure in the General Assembly had no
intention of testing the validity o.
che law. The Norfolk Virginian-P'-
lot in this connection says:
The report that the liquor interests
Of Virginia were planning resort to
the courts in attack on the validity
of the vote by which the enabling
net passed the Senate is followed by
a nositiye staten ent that no such
movement will be made. We think
that in every aspect OF the case the
latter is a wise decision. 1t may DC
true we incline to the opinion that
Lieut. Governor E!lyson exceeded his
constitutional prerogatives when as

exercised a function only attaching to
