took to tank certain Catholic or
ganization that had assumed to ques

.oward their coreligionists. The arch
bisbon said:
"Yes, tlio Mown from Koine is quite
natittfuctory and. I am sure, quite cor
rect, l'rivnte ndvlces coming to me
from the most reliable sources confirm
In all respects the dispatches given in

ARcnmsnor Ireland.
ports sent out by the correspondents of
certain London papers to the effect that
the pontiff was displeused with the
manner of acting of the commission of
cardinals appointed to treat with Gov
ernor Taft were absolutely unfounded.
As stated in this morning's Roman dis
patches, the pontiff assured Governor
Taft that he was most satisfied and
happy at the results so far obtained
and that he was confident the negotia
tions begun In Home would be the
starting point of n complete and satis
factory solution of the question under
discussion. This statement sums up In
the most exact manner the situation as
the Vatican views it and as it really Is.
"And now it is to be hoped there will
be among certain classes of Cuthollcs
In America a cessation of movements
and declarations such as we have had
recent occasion to hear of regarding
religious matters in the Philippines.
The pope toadies those Catholics to
trust the American government ns
they seemingly have been heretofore
uuwilliug to do. 1
"In his conversation with Governor
Taft he expressed the highest esteem
for American methods of treating
church mutters and remarked that he
had more than once pointed toward
the United States as setting an exam
ple well worth copying. His words
ought to signify something to those
who profess to tuke him as their leader
and guide.
"The agitation, such as it wns, in
certain Catholic quarters did no honor
to those who participated in it. As is
now proven, they spoke and acted
without due knowledge and certainly
without proper regard for the govern
ment of their country. They should
first have been absolutely certain that
Injustices had been done to their co
religionists. "There should have been no haste to
lay blame upon the government, which
was doing its best to bring order out
Of chaos, and above all no charges
should have been made against the in
teutlons of the government. It wns
rankest rashness and rankest injustice
to intimate that the government In
tended to proselytize in the Philippines
or to do aught to detach the inhab
itants from the Catholic faith. To
know in the slightest degree Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr. Root or Mr. Taft Is to
be certain that nothing of the kind
could have been thought of or could
have been tolerated. Never did there
reside In the While House a man more
fair minded nnd impartial in religious
matters, more resolute to give nil
classes of citizens the religious rights
granted them by the constitution nnd
to protect them In those rights than
Theodore Roosevelt. During his ad
ministration it is unqualifiedly absurd
to imagine that governmental nets
nould be such ns to deny or Impair tho
religious rights.- of nny people or tribe
pver whom lloat.i the American tlag."

Minority.
PARIS, July 23. Riots occurred yes
terday after the distribution of prizes
nt a school belonging to an unauthor
ized congregation In the Avenue Par
meutler here us the result of violent
speeches denouncing the government's
action in closing the establishments of
unauthorized congregations. Crowds
broke through the police cordon and
shouted "Vive la libertd" Francois
Coppee, tho author add poet, who wns
the chief speaker; Deputy Lerolle, Gas
ton Merry and the Abbe Pnrtural were
arrested.
The determined firmness with which
the government Is carrying out the
law ugulnst unauthorized congrega
tions is lushing the clericals to fury,
which culminated In yesterday's dis
orderly demonstrations In Paris. Sim
ilar, though less violent, scenes ac
companied the closing of the schools
and the departure of the teachers to
other places.
As a matter of fact, however, the
clericals are manifestly in 0 hopeless
minority throughout the country.
Many municipal councils in all sec
tions of France, Including those of
such Important cities ns Lyons, Tours,
Epernny and Beauvais, are voting reso
lutions approving the government's ac
tion, congratulating the ministry upon
its firmness nnd urging It to continue
Its defense of civil society against the
encroachments of the congregations.
The government Is certainly apply
ing tho lnw with all possible modera
tion and, with the country behind It,
will, It Is believed, accomplish the task
undertaken before parliament reas
sembles. The clericals will doubtless
continue their agitation, but the move
ment is not likely to lend to any prac
tical result or cause serious disturb
ance of public order.
DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS.

KEOKUK, la., July 21. Exploration
of the flooded districts of the Missis
sippi river from Keokuk south shows
conditions beyond the appreciation or
realization of nny but those of long ex
perience with the Father of Wuters in
its most destructive mood.
The situation is growing worse hour
ly, und a great conflagration in a great
city would not be more rapidly destruc
tice of values. There is absolutely not
the slightest chance of stopping this
most costly flood in the history of tho
great river above St. Louis.
Everywhere the greatest crops ever
known are under water deep enough to
Bout a steamboat. People ut the river
cities give accounts of losses aggregat
ing many millions of dojlars. Hundreds
of farmers rich ten days ago are penni
less nnd homeless.
Careful estimates gnthcred from the
statements of best informed people In
dicate the loss up to the present nt
about $0,000,000, with every prospect
of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 additional by
the rise above not yet reaching the low
er stretches of the river. .
Most of this loss is on the Missouri
side of the river between Keokuk and
Hannibal.

EUR 4b MAIL B0XE3.
Postmaster General Decreet Thai People
Along Route Must Buy Their Own.
Official notification fiom- Washing
ton has been received throughout the
state that Postmaster General H. C
Payne has decided upon new styles of
mail boxes for rural fiee delivery and
that after October 1 those persons
not complying with the conditions of
the order will nor receive the service,
but be compelled to go after their
mail. The inferior boxes now in
general use are frequently pilfered,
principally by children, and postofike
inspectors are put to much trouble
tracing lost mail. F.ach person ;n
titled to tree rural delivery must erect i
the boxes at his own cost, by tne
roadside, so that the carrier can easily
obtain access to them without dis
mounting from his vehicle, and the
same box cannot be used by more
than one family, except in case of
near relatives or those residing in the
same house.
This order will necessitate the re
moval ol thousands ot mail boxes in
the rural districts ot the United States
and will prove a temporary boom to
the business of mail box manufactur
ers. The order provides that firms or
individual who propose to manufact
ure the boxes should submit them to
the examination of the special agents
of the district in which the factory is
located. All boxes found to comply
with the requirements and tpecifica
tions of this order will be marked
"Approved by the Postmaster Gene
ral," and will then come under the
protection of the act providing for
punishment of those canght tamper
ing with mail boxes. The rural
carriers are given explicit orders not
to serve peisons who do not erect the
boxes. Postmaster General Payne
points out that experience has shown
that boxes opening at the side or top
are more convenient than those open
ing at the end.
STATE MUST BUILD 21" B2IDGES.
Over $400,000 to be Spent in Replacing
Structures.
Pennsylvania will within the coming
year pay out between $400,000 and
$500,000 for bridges destroyed by
floods and fires in the past six months,
as the law compelling the state to re
place bridges across navigable streams
when they have been destroyed by
flood, fire, etc. is being invoked in
many counties.
When the bridge is destroyed the
county commissioners, through their
attorney, present a request to the at
torney general asking for viewers, and
the matter is taken into the Dauphin
county court, which appoints the
viewers. If the report is favorable it
is approved by the court and the mat
ter then goes to the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds, which sends
out engineers to estimate the cost,
and then the contract is set.
Engineers are now out examining
locations for twenty-one bridges that
the state will build in various counties
of the state. The engineers now en
gaged in preparing plans and specifi
cations for the twenty-one budges
are M. D. Bowers, Mahanoy City;
Herman Loeb, Pittsburg; Oscar
Thompson, Phcenixville; Emil Swenn
son, Pittsburg, and A. J. Whitney,
Rome.
The cost of the bridges is from
$5,000 to $115,000 each, and there
is apprehension that when the law be
comes better known there will be a
raid on the treasury. It is said an
effort will be made to repeal the law
at the next session of the legislature.

Opinions vs. Convictions.
The difference between opinions
and convictions is the same as that
between a steamship without a .fire
under her boilers, and a steamship
with a full head of steam on. The
first may float tor a time toward the
haven, but it is because the wind or
tide chances to be in her favor; the
other drives her prow with conquering
force against wind and wave and tide
toward the home port because there
is mighty energy within.
A man tnlk nbout owning his business.
Put, ns A mitter of fact his business owns
him. His whole life is regulated by the de
mand of the business. The time at which
he rises, his breakfast hour, the time given
to meals, are all determined by business ob
ligations. He rushes through lunch because
he "can't spare the time from business" to
eat leisurely, lie won't take a rest because
he is needed at the store or office, lie is in
fact an absolute slave to business. The,
results which follow this slavery are to be
seen on every hnnd. Men dyspeptic, irrita
ble, nervous, wiih drawn faces, and hollow
evc, sit nt the desk or stand behind the
counter until they collapse in a fit of sickness,
or are taken away by heart failure. Those
who cannot escape the exactions of business
will find a friend in L)r. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It strengthens the sto
mach, increases the action of the blood
making glands, increasing the vitality and
physical vigor. It makes men strong and
prevents those business break downs which
so often terminate fatally.
