NEW YORK, Oct News has

papal authorities at Rome, Archblsh-

mead Of the Chicago arch-diocese.
auxiliary bishop of Brooklyn, has
given out an order prohibiting tho
priests under his jurisdiction from
attending the theater. Inquiry at the
cathedral last night. says the World.
disclosed the fact that this rule is
only diocesan regulation. which, If
enforced. would only apply to the
New York archdiocese. In fact, 1t IL
only the enforcement in Chicago of
the general law laid down by the
council of Baltimore in 1886 for the
United States forbIddlng priests to
attend theaters.
Cardinal Farley at the last synod
held two years ago IN New York
called the attention OF the clergy to
this law on the cburch's statute
books.
1T IL deoreed that our priests
must never be present at horse rue
Ing or public theaters and likewise
at spectaclss known as operas"
This rule. however, in the arch
diocese Of New York has only taken
the form Of recommendation and
has not been enforced under pain of
ecclesiastical censurc. and It is not
expected by the clergy that the cardl-
nal will give any further attention to
the matter,
In stating his reason for the spe-
ciHl ban on theater-going. the Chit
cago archbishop said
THE tendency OF the theater Is
downward The priests have enough
to do in caring for their parishes.
and It is not much Of sacrifice Tor
them to give up all attendance on
the theater."
For instance, declared the bish-

RAILROAD MAGNATE LEFT ABOUT
SI0O. 900 900.

J. Pierpont Morgan. Sr., who died in
Rome. Italy. March 81, 1913, left an
estate appraised at S1S149,024.
This does not include the trnst fund
created in 1867 for the benefit of
Frances Louisa Tracy Morgan. widow
of the fnancier. by julius Spencer
Morgan. her father-in-law. which fund
is now appraised at S1.115,052. Nor
does il include property outside New
York state and not subject to its tax
law. In 1913 the sworn value OF Mr..
MOrgan's English property was $500,
%. Since that time much of the Eng
iish property has been brought into
this estate,
When Morgan died three years ago
his estate was estimated al from $780,
100000 TO $l50.000 600 The present
valuation by state appraisers is low
for two reasons. The stocks and
bonds are appraised as of the time
their owner died. Since that time
many of these securities have in
creased lit value enormously.
The appraisal is based largely on
valuation by experts who are naturally
and properly interested in serving
those who employ them in their eX-
pert capacity. For this reason they
made low estimates for purposes OF
taxation. Competent judges like Mr..
Duveen and Mr.. knOedler estimated
the value of Mr.. Morgan's art collec-
tion and library at the time OF his
death a from $50. 600. 900 10 $50 600 900.
Morgan's estate compares favorably
with some Of the large estates recently
appraised bur it is not much larger
than that accumulated by the late An
thony Brady of Brooklyn. a self-made
man His appraisal was fixed at S77.-

TIC OR HABIT SPASM.

In the presence Of ladies or a
clergyman the most profane man will
talk for an indefinite time and never
utter an oath. though in his ordinary
conversation he Swears like a troop
or and quite uncOnsciOusly.
A tic is little less than spasm,
a little more than habit The word
tic comes from the French We have
no good English synonym. The move
ments of chOrea est NitUs' danCel
differ from those of tic in this respect
namely, that they cannot be controlled
by the patient. whereas a tic can he
controlled by an effort, just q habit
Of swearing can. Take for example,
boy with habit of twitching or shrug
ging one shoulder: sit before him with
a pin and let him understand that eV-
cry twitch will be punctuated with one
pin prick, and he will control that
shoulder tic for long time though or
dinarily it comes several times A min
ute. If it wore chorea such punish
ment would only make the twitchine
worse
A tic. like St VitUs' dance. is usual
ly limited 10 a single muscle or group
of muscles. Here are some common
tics: Blinking one or both eyes. wink
ing or squirting: snUffIing: clearing
the throat, Clucking or making other
queer sounds with the lips or ton
~--a. tTi+rGiug one shoulder: whist
ling, nOdding the mead; uttering in
opportune swear words or Obscenitics
quite unintentionally. The movement
or muscle action occurs several times
a minute as a rule, and the subject is
unaware of it unless his attention is
called to it.
Most ties have their origin in
natural impulse ana become habitual
through undue nervousness. A boy
or girl may develop a shoulder twitch-
ing tic as result of a tight armhole.
tic of the face started by inflammation
Of the eyes or lids, tic Of the neck
started by a tight or irritating collar .
SpasmOdic wry neck is CLOSELY al
lied with tic in nature and origin.
Often it is started by a temporary
stiff neck or muscular rheuma-
tism," so-called. This local irritation
is the trigger which sets off the tic.

The foreign working man, under
stress of circumstances. has learned
to keep body and soul together on
pitiably small income. When he comes
TO this country the hardships he has
endured in his old home become a sort
OF asset to him. making il possible for
him to live much more cheaply than
his American neighbor and conse-
quentIv work for smaller wage Yet
The small wage he receives in this
country would have been big wages
IN Europe and he feels comparatively
well situated.
The Argus would not close the

foreigner, but il would open the eyes
OF American voters 20 the fact that
railroad companies. ccal mine own

the republicans, in their apparent
consuming anxiety 10 protect the
American laborer, really protect the
big manufacturers against honest
competition and permit them 10 roll

There is one factor " American life
that has done more to maintain the
standard OF wages in this country

ever were built. and that is organized
labor. Were il not for the latter We
would have high protection and the
