TRIPLE MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Ilrfore the Special Inqelrr Boar4
In the Hospital Twk mt tk
Women Inspectors- The
DetaJaed.
NEW TORK, Aug. 24. A ferryboat hu
reached Elll Island with the Immigrants
from a great steamship. With battered
boxes and plethoric bundles Its occupants
begin to straggle up the gang-way that
lead to the central detontlon room.
Inside there Is stir and bustle. The doe
tors, nurses, Inspectors spring to their
feet, ready and alert, as the Immigrants
file In. Eflch Immigrant has pinned to his
clothing a ticket corresponding to the
. number of the cage or pen In which ha la
to wait for examination. They sit there in
comparative silence, fearful of the ordeal
which confronts them, starting from time
to time when soma unfortunate, held by
the doctors for further examination, breaks
Into shrill walling.
The Cerberus that guards the gateways
of America, haa three heads, one at each
corner of tha triangle around which the
Immigrant passes on his way to the cus
toms Inspector. The doctor at the first
notes the apparent physical condition of
those who pans him. The doctor at the
second looks at the scalp and gives the
Immigrant a careful scrutiny before ad
mitting him to an extremely narrow gang
way, blocked by a third doctor standing
beside a dripping towel.
' While the Immigrant stands still tha doc
tor wipes his fingers, stretches them out
and deftly turns hack the eyelids In search
of that bar to admission trachoma. Any
evidence of this disease leaves no option
under the law but to ship tha Immigrant
back again.
Aa They Come Aloaar.
Behind the large central hall la a small
Apartment set aside for those who have
been detained for further examination.
They sit there, visible through the wire
caging, guarded by a stalwart janitor,
watching In misery and wonder the luckier
ones pans by.
Presently a woman comes along, of de
cent appearance, evldenly from some Eng
lish country town. She haa passed the
first two doctors and la In Una for the
third. He looks at ber, examines her eye
lids, wipes his fingers and Just aa she Is
about to pass along seises a pieces of chalk
and marks "vision" In great staring letters
down the front of her dress. An attendant
cornea up, catches her by the arm and
motions her toward tha detention room.
She resists, calling after the friend who
has preceded her to freedom.
Let me go," she orlea. "My slater Is
waiting for me."
There la no time for explanation; she la
holding up the line. She bursts Into tears
and Is half dragged, half carried away.
Just then a young man comes hurrying
back.
"Have you seen my fader?" he Inquires.
An old man Inside the pen halls him,
waves his arms and burets Into song. The
woman stopa weeping and stares at him
In terror.
"Is that him?" asks an attendant,
"Ja. Jo, dot's him."
"Well, he can't come. He's drunk, and
he'll be kept hero for a couple of days
until he's sober."
Back of the doctors are stationed a num
ber of women Inspectors women with the
yes of hawks. A girl passes tha doctors,
inoUfer. another. No algn Is made.
f Woman Inspector at Work.
A comely girl steps along tha alula. She
has passed the physicians. Her eyes have
been examined and found to. be free from
trachoma. Her general health appears
superb. She Is about to step on to freedom
when one of the women inspectors hurries
fter her and lays her fingers on her arm.
"One moment, my dear. Are you mar
led T" v
"No yes," says the girl tn confusion.
'Is your husband with you?"
The girl stammers a few words and stopa.
"Just sit down here for a little. You will
ave to go before the board."
The consulting rooms, where those who
"lave been detained are subsequently ex
amined by the doctors, are below. They
have been barred to the publlo ever since
.he day, a year or two ago, when a trach-
ma patient walked off undetected among
me visitors. Here a physician la examin
ing a boy of low lntelleav
"Of course," he whispers, "thl may be
Sue entirely to nervousness and timidity.
Hla intellect Is probably normal, but we
don't take chances. (To the boy). Now,
Tohnny, where do you oome from?"
"From home, sir."
m "Where is your homer
"Leicester,"
"What la your name?"
"Alfred." v
"Alfred what?"
"Alfred, sir.-
"What day of the week cornea after Sat
urday?" Boy gases at the physician blankly for
a moment, makea a sudden dash for lib
erty and Is stopped short, howling. Held
for further examination.
Most of Thent Get In.
"In tha end." says the doctor, "we paas
about W per cent of those whom we hold
for mental examination. Of course, we
have to make allowance according to the
, different nationalities. ,
"For instance, we should suspect an Ice
lander or Scandinavian who could not read
or write to be feebleminded, whereas In a
Sardinian the accomplishment would be
almost evidence of hypertrophy of the cere
brum. Again, we should almost certainly
reject a German who did not know the days
of the week or montlis of the year, whereas
among the Macedonian very few know
them. They are about the most Ignorant
of all who reach us."
The hospital Is a large, red, brick building
fronting the immigration offices across the
' dock. Most of the inmates are pneumonia
patients, and in these cool ward, through
which the air clrculutes "freely, the deaths
aro few.
In a oot in the children's ward 1ta a little
Scotch girl. She la about S and is propped
up on pillows.
'No need to tell you the nationality of
$ tills one," says the nurse In charge, point
ing to the flaming red hair, woken contrasts
airtkingly with the pale face. The child's
buck Is curved Into a half circle.
'putts' disease," aays the nurse. "Tea;
congenital and quite Incurable. She'll be
a hopeless cripple for life If aha survive.
She'll be sent back If ever she gels well
enough."
Another little girt is reading a picture
book.
"1 don't know wliat we'll do with Dor
othy," the nurse continues, stroking her
hair. "The mother was seised with mania
on the ship and tried to throw the child
througll the porthole. I rueaa the govern
ment will have to detail someone to re
turn with her, unless the mother recovers
her senses."
Hut only half Uie rejected are sent back
'for medical causes. There are four boards
of special inquiry which alt to adjudicate
on other caeea.
They delve Into the histories and char
acter of all who come before them, cross
examine and interrogate witnesses. The
difficult cases go before Commissioner
Watchorm. From him there Is the right of
appeal to Washington, where the com
missioner's rulings are frequently reversed.
The court Is sitting at noon. The mem
ber of the board ait around the table, with
the Interpreter; facing them, on chairs, are
detained Immigrants. Their friends and
witnesses are seated apart and may hold
no communication with them. Often a
husband and wife, a mother and son, sep
arated for many years, look longingly at
one another, unable to break the silence.
Today the detained Include a Rumanian
peasant woman, a little Hebrew girl, with
eyea reddened from weeping, and a very
old man, evidently nearlng the century
mark, who Inhales snuff constantly and
haa a continual desire to participate In the
proceeding.
Marrlnae Comee Easy.
The girl from Rumanian la held aa liable
to become a public charge. She has sent
for a witness, a stolid Rumanian from her
own village, who haa sent for her to marry
her.
"Do you know this woman?" aka the
assistant commissioner.
The man mumbles something.
"What does he say?"
"He says she Is the widow of hla brother
and he haa sent for her to marry her."
A light breaks over the woman's face.
"Do you know this man?" asks one of
the board. The Interpreter repeats the
question.
"Yes. I know him."
"Hoy lona; since you have seen htm?
"I have never seen him."
It appears finally that the man haa sent
for her without having known her, in order
to marry her.
"Are you willing to marry her now?"
ask the assistant commissioner.
"I marry her now."
"Take them down to the chaplain's office.
Next case."
Three witnesses appear In a comer. The
little Hebrew girl rises In her seat and
cries: "Mamma, mamma." The officer re
strains her. The parents Ignore her In their
anxiety.
The party consists of an elderly, patri
archal Hebrew, a voluble, stout Hebrew
woman and a thin, ascetic looking young
man with a sparse black beard and eye
glasses. He holds a silk hat In his hand.
He must be the local rabbi.
Rabbi Stricken Dnmb.
No doubt the services of the minister
were solicited for the purpose of making
an impression upon the court. In the dim
synagogue, wearing his white tallth and
Intoning the prayers, the rabbi waa prob
ably Impressive. But once within the court
room the great man Is suddenly stricken
dumb and sits, meeker than Moses, with
folded hands.
"Who Is this?" the gtrl la asked.
"Meln fader."
"And this?"
"Meln mutter."
"Is this girl your daughter?"
The old man arches his back and spreads
forth his hands.
"Your honor. I do a business in stock
ings" "Never mind that. Is this your daugh
ter?" The patriarch pulls out a roll of bills. "I
have jnoft
"Is this your daughter?" roars the inter
preter. The voluble woman opens the flood gates
and saves the situation. The rabbi rises.
"That's not my son," mumbles the cen
tenarian, attempting to rise. He Is re
strained, and after, some confusion takes a
prodigious pinch of snuff and subsides
sneeslng,
- In the end the girl is allowed to depart
clinging to her parents, who are profuse In
their thanks to the rabbi. The great man
Is visibly recovering his Importance a they
leave the court room.
Finally a son arrives from Minnesota to
claim the centenarian, who goes off nodding
affably to the commissioner and Interpreter
and clasping his snuffbox.
PARNELL BROUGHT TO LIFE
Statue of Irish Leader at Arts and
Crafts Exhibition Attracts
Wide Attention.
DUBLIN, Aug. 81. (Special.) The Par
nell statue la the great piece at the Oi
reachtas Exhibition of Arts and Crafts,
which Is now being held In the rooms of
the Royal Hibernian academy. The statue
Is placed at the top end of the principal, or
Inner roots, and from the door In Abbey
street can be fully seen away 'up In the
distance. It Is a work that produces a
great and Impressive effect instantly; so
great and so impressive that one is foroed
to examine it in Its details to find a reason
for Its fascination. It will have to stand
In the most excellent company In the world,
and to face comparison with some of the
finest of publlo mounments. It Is quite
safe In the ordeal; there need not be the
slightest dread of the comparison. Abso
lutely unlike the art of Foley's Grattan,
or Burke, or Goldsmith, or O'Connell, It
Introduoea to the city of Dublin a style
of statuary which Is strange but unique.
Its art Is broad, masstve and vigorous.
Style Is subordinated to the expression of
Idea and motive. It la Impressionist, vividly,
daringly realistic Parnell la facing a
crowd. He Is drawn to his full height, his
breast swells proudly out, the long legs
are loosely hung and Just In the act of
moving forward. The left foot Is at the
verge of the broad platform, on the point
of dropping over; the right Is slightly be
hind Its fellow. The right arm Is extended
gracefully at length with palm downwards
and fingers spread out, as though making
a period. The left arm drop easily down
on a small round table, carrying a sheaf
of papera In disarray, and the cloth of the
table, an Immense rich spreading drapery,
hides the neatly rounded table shaft and
the colled lega at the base, and sweeping
behind the figure falls at the right of the
platform in a finely arranged wisp. Par
nell la wearing two coat. The overcoat
la a rough material and comes down low
upon his legs. It Is pushed back from the
shoulders by the action of the arms. The
left lapel of the Inside coat a more tidy
garment pushes Itself out over the lapel
of the other. The trousers are deeply
creaaed and workmanlike, the waistcoat la
oollared and creaaed, the watohchaln runs
to tha left pocket. The shirt collar Is low
and th breast la hidden by a flat tie. All
these details are of Intense concern to the
spectator, for they are utterly uncon
ventional and compel scrutiny. But the
whole fascination of the conception finally
centers on the face a wonderful piece of
work. The Parnell represented la the Par
nell of the senlth. The face la healthy,
the eye piercing, the, forehead bold, the
hair scanty and trim, the beard well
polntde and becoming. The mere handaome
neea of the feature la not insisted upon.
The direct stare of two deep-set eyes, the
fixed firmness of the well formed nose, the
energy of the cheek bones, the lips scarcely
apart, the temple dilating all apeak earn
eatnesa. This la the Idea which was con
veyed at the very outaet, to the observer.
The whole action Indicates strong faith In
some doctrine which, with calm but In
tensey energy, la being enforced upon a
crowd that haa been fascinated by and
fascinate the orator.

BERLIN, Aug. 34.-(Special.)-Thousands
of persons In the Central Prussian prov
inces have been suddenly seized with an
acute form ,of religious mania. Telegrams
from Cassel state that the outburst, which
Is manifesting itself In all kinds of aston
ishing forms, waa started by two fanatics,
who proclaimed themselves divine emis
saries, specially sent by heaven to 'lead
the Inhabitants of the adjoining province
to salvation. Their principal lieutenants
ere two Swedish women, whose oratory
exercises a strange fascination over the
populace. Extraordinary scenes take place
at meetings held nightly In Cassel and
many suroundlng towns and villages. The
participant at these meetings emit lnar
tloulate shrieks, throw themselves In the
ground, roll on the floor, fling their arms
and legs wildly about, beat their heads
against the wooden benches, and amazing
confessions of sin then pour from their
Hps. After this they declare they have
een visions of heaven, hell, and other
worlds.
Sometimes all those present at a meet
ing prostrate themselves slmultaneonsly on
the floor and groan In unison, with wild
gestures. Suddenly a man springs up and
graphically describes some strange vision
which he sees before his eyea Loud shouts
of "Hallelujah I" greet the speaker, and
when the vision has been described men
and women arise from the ground, em
brace one another with ecstatic fervor, and
danoe, with many amastng grimaces and
erratic movements, all through the nbjht
till sunrise.
Intoxicated with Religion.
A spectator of one of these meetings
states that there were over 200 people
present. All of them seemed absolutely
Intoxicated with religious ecstasy. He
iays: "I heard wild cries, loud confessions
of sin, uncanny shrieks, groans and other
unearthly noises. I saw , distorted f acea,
men and women gesticulating like lunatles.
I saw them sink to the ground and kick
out In all directions. Suddenly a young
man sprang up and uttered sounds which
the chairman described as being the re
ault of a divine vlsknN No sooner had tha
ohalrman uttered these words than a great
shout of triumph rose from the assembly.
They all looked aa If hypnotised."
At another meeting, after a hymn had
been sung, a young man sprang to the
platform, threw himself about with ex
traordlnary vigor, made Indescribable
grimaces and then shouted Incoherently.
One of the founders of the movement In
formed the congregation that the youth
was divinely Inspired and that his antics
and noise were a divine revelation. The
worshippers clapped their hands, knelt
down, gesticulated, shrieked, groaned and
groveled in the dust. Several worshippers
shouted, "We see the blood of our Saviour."
Women embraced one another, saying,
"We have seen our Saviour Himself."
The preacher then offered up the follow
ing prayer: "O, Lord, let everyone here
kneel down. Whoever refuses to kneel,
let him be thrown from our midst." One
man remained standing, whereupon there
were wild cries of "Out with hlmr Out
with Bclzebub!" When the unbeliever left
the hall the worshipers shouted, "The
devil haa now gone. The evil one haa left
our midst."'
At a meeting at Gross Almerode a young
man divested himself of his collar and
cuffs, declaring he dealred to renounce
luxury. Young women tore off their hata,
veils, ribbons, laces and other finery for
the same reason. Night after night hun
dreds of deluded enthusiasts are attending
meetings of this kind, where eccentric
doctrines are systematically preached by
fanatical religious maniacs. The congre
gations are principally composed of peas
ants from the agricultural dlatrlcta, but
the Intelligent classes of the urban pop
ulation are alao strongly represented at
the meetings. Large numbers of peasant
are pouring In from the provinces of
Upper Hesse and Lower Hease In the hope
of seeing signs and wonders worked by
the leaders of this movement. v
Aid for World-Famed CrlmlnaL
The committee formed at the end' of
last year to promote the welfare of the
world-famed criminal, William Volgt, the
shoemaker .who perpetrated the wonder
ful raid at Koepenlck, under the very
nose of the kaiser and the Imperial Ger
man government, announces that full pro
vlaion haa been made for Volgt'a future
happiness when he la released from prison
in 110. This committee, which was
formed In consequence of Volgt'a Immense
popularity, haa collected enough aub
acrlptlona to start him in life again when
he la liberated. A cottage will be bought
for him, so that he may end bia days
on hla own freehold property. A work
ahop will be built for him In which he
can ply his former trade of ehoemaklng.
The house will be neatly furnished and
the workshop will be well equipped with
tool. A fund will be Invested In securi
ties to provide Volgt with a life-long
pension when he grows old and unfit for
work. The committee received subscrip
tions from all parta of the world.lnclu.l
lng England and America. No fewer than
1SS women wrote to the committee offer
ing to marry Volgt aa soon aa he is re
leased. The names of these female ad
mirers are withheld, but It Is announced
that, although the majority of them are
German women, several offers of mar
riage were received from women of other
countries. Two American girls and one
English widow wrote offering heart and
hand to Volgt.
Outbreak Near Lake Chad.
News haa been received of the outbreak
of dlsturbancea among the nativea in
the Adamawa district of the German
Cameroona. The German resident at
Oarua, Captain Zlmmermann, who haa a
company of protectorate troopa under hla
command, waa attacked In the realdency
by the Fullah Mahdl, but waa able, to
repel the Insurgents. Captain Zlmmer
mann has communicated with the German
resident In the northern district of the
colony, near Lake Chad, with a view to
taking concerted action against the na
tivea. The dlsturbancea are described aa
being of a local character, but the out
break haa, nevertheleaa, created consider
able anxiety. Thla concern la, appar
ently, not unwarranted In view of the
fact that the Inhabitants of this region
are fanatical Mohammedans and well or
ganised. The circumstance that, notwith
atandlng the presence of a strong force
of German colonial troopa, the mahdl
should have ventured to attack the real
dency at Oarua is regarded as a grave
symptom. It is hoped that the Joint
operation from Oarua and from Kusaurl
In the north will be rapid and effective.
The1 new governor of the Cameroona, Dr.
Belt, who has been appointed to succeed
Herr von Puttkamer, has not yet arrived
In the colony.

CHINESE FAMINE RELIEVED
Officials Who Had Work In Chare;
Are Now Coantlns; Cost of the
loon rare.
SHANGHAI, Aug. M. (Special.) The ter
rible famine which haa raged In Central
China for several months is now virtually
over; the crops planted with the seed dis
tributed by the relief committees are being
harvested; the mlssionariea who have la
bored so assiduously In the cause of hu
manity are gradually coming down to the
coast for a rest, and people are beginning
to count the cost In lives and money. The
exact number of Chinese who perished will
never be known, but the estimate recently
made by a prominent member of the relief
organisations, Judging from conversations
with many workers, was very much exag
gerated. He computed the loss In Uvea at
over 1,000,000, but on going carefully Into
facta It la found that the famine lasted
lees than eight months and at the worst
period the deatha were said to average
1,000 a day, so that even had this figure
been maintained for the full period of the
famine the total mortality would have
been lees than 750,000.
The smallest estimate Is three tlmea the
maximum death rate in the area affrtt
and this would givo nearly 800,000 deatha
m
lnt ngures are a fair estimate of the
toll exacted by the scourn. it m.
aid. In short, that the famine has not
claimed anything like so mani- viclma aa
was predicted would he the tm. i.
due In great measure to the prompt way
in wnicn runds were subscribed, especially
In America, and the manner In which for

the crude. Ineffective system of relief which
mo more nonesl officials adopted when left
to themselves. It was reserved for the
foreigner to point out the necessity of re
lief works, both for their Intrinsic worth
and to enable the authorities to distinguish
between the really destitute and the mere
loafer. Many districts In the famine area
can point to the benefits derived from re
lief works Inaugurated and supervised by
foreigners; but there are also some where
the Chlneee officials have followed to good
purpose the example set them. To qaote
but one example, many miles of the grand
canal north of Chlnkiang are now In good
repair, and this will help to prevent a
catastrophe In the future similar to that
which occurred last year when the heavy
rains fell. Much of the severity of the
famine could have been prevented by pub
lic works, of which the neglect can only
be regarded as criminal. The difficulty too
often was that officials wore reluctant to
apend money on works, as they feared they
might, soon after the Inauguration of the
work, be removed to another sphere of la
bor, and thus lose the large amount of
money which It would have been necessary
to disburse from the local exchequer, and
which would otherwise have gone Into their
pocket, if or,)el. to Introduced Into
Chinese finances and an end put to the sale
of positions, the business Instinct of the
nation would discover that It ts cheaper
to undertake such works In time rather
than wait until the misery their neglect
causes has to be relieved.
The two relief committees collected no
less a sum than $1,313,000 and all bit a
small balance has been expended In the
aavlng of life, combined in some cases
with preventive measures against future
famine. The small balance, unfortunates,
will probably be Insufficient for the de
mands made upon It this autumn. The de
vastation of whole provinces by floods will
not ceaae until the Imperial government so
rearranges Its financial system that It can
direct large sums to be spent on the ade
quate repair of canal and river embank
ments, and the . necessary clearing- and
deepening of the waterway of the em

Slcnlflennce of Visit of Its Small Fleet
Catherine; at
Cowea.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-(Speclal.)-A Swedish
squadron of men-of-war was recently or
dered to proceed to Cowes and greet King
Edward. The aquadron arrived In good
time and anchored near the British fleet.
The usual ceremonies followed and the
king entertained the officers on board the
royal yacht, Victoria and Albert. Sweden
Is not a first class naval power, but merely
maintains a small fleet for the purposes
of coaat defense. It has no need to pro
vide Itself with burdensome armaments,
as Its Integrity Is amply secured by the
good will of Its more powerful friends and
neighbors. The ships which have arrived
at Cowes" do not compare In slse or power
with the great armored vessels of the
Brtlsh fleet, but they are good, serviceable
men-of-war for the limited range of dutlea
assigned to them tn the scheme of defense
of the northern kingdom. The squadron
comprises three coast defense ships, the
Oscar II, Thor and Tapperheten. and the
torpedo cruiser Ornen. The flagship, Oscar
II, Is the largest. Its displacement being
4.270 tons. It was built at Gothenburg in
1908 and Is 813 feet In length and fifty
feet wide. Its engines give a speed of eight
een knots, steam being supplied by Yarrow
bollera The Oscar Is well protected for Its
slse, having an armor belt for two-thirds
of Its length six Inches thick amidships
and a protective deck two Inchea thick.
It carries two 8.Z-lnch guns In separate
turrets, protected by seven and one-half-Inch
armor and eight S.t-tnch guns mounted
In pair In turret, beside smaller guns,
and It haa two submerged torpedo tubes.
It Is easily distinguished by Its three fun
nels, two masts and six turrets. Its com
plement numbers S2S officers and men.
The Thor la a much smaller veseel of less
speed. Its displacement being 8,400 tons, with
a length of 278 feet and a beam of forty
nine feet. It Is protected by a partial
steel belt with a protective deck. Its
armament comprlBes two -e-tnch guna in
separate turrets, one forward and one aft,
and aix 4-7-Inch guns In caaements, besides
ten six-pounders and entailer weapona. It
has one submerged tube. The Thor haa
two funnela and two turrets, with a fight
ing top In Its foremast. The Tapperheten
Is a similar looking vessel, although more
modern. It also has two funnels and two
turret, but there la no fighting top on
Ita masts. Tor Its slse It Is powerfully
armed, having two 8-2-inch guns In sep
arate turrets, protected by eight-Inch ar
mor at the base, a Its main armament.
In addition there are six 88-Inch guns In
shields, the amldship pair beln sponsoned.
The torpedo cruiser Ornen is one of flvo
similar ships, all built between 18M0 and 1.
Each Is 787 tons displacement, and the
Ornens engtnee enable It to travel at nine
teen knots an hour. Yarrow boilers sup

rellea on an armored deck for protection
and carries two 4.7-lnch guns and four

POPE PROTESTS TO POWERS
Taken aa Notice of Indignities
to Vial tore.
ROME, Aug. 24. (Special.) There
seems no doubt that the action of the
pope in directing a suspension of the
pllgrtmnges to Rome In connection with
his Jubilee, on the ground that they might
be Ill-received by the people In view cf
the present antl-clerlcal agitation, haa a
political, or at least politic oblect. At
the Vatican there exlsta a strong current
having for Ita ending a definitive sua
pension of all pilgrimage, and a conse
quent protest to the powers respecting
the position of the church In Italy. M.
Glollttl, the prime minister. Interviewed
on the subject, has declared that order
will continue to be maintained through
out Italy and all beliefs respected. Never
theless, he says that the government
could not prevent the Vatican from per
sisting In representing ltaelf aa perse
cuted.
The antl-clerlcal campaign has spread
like an epidemic throughout Italy. It
reached Ita climax In the mob excesses
at Spezla and Sampierdarona, where two
churches were devaatated. It Is believed
that the pope fears that Italy Intends
following example of France with re
gard to the church, and the pontiff has
consulted several cardinals on the situa
tion. The Catholics In Rome have decided
on energetic counter action If thuy are
attacked and have placarded Rome with
posters vigorously denouncing the lnae-
curlty which surrounds priests, who are
constantly being insulted. Among others,
the composer, Perosi, was spat upon in
the street. All depends now on whether
the government shows energy In suppress
ing the violence of the rabble or secretly
supports the antl-clerlcal movement, aa
the Vatican openly accuse It of doing.
The latter courae would Indicate Italy's
Intention of imitating the French" con
flict. The government, however, has
shown great firmness at Spezla and de
clared a state of siege there.
Blgnor Glollttl, In the Interview above
referred to, absolutely denied that the
government had decided to suppress the
religious corporatlona and close their
schools, as has been done In France. In
struction had only been given to the
authorities to survey the educational in
stitutes, religious and secular alike, and
also to the military authorities to protect
churches, monasteries and religious prop
erty against all attacks. He trusted that
the tribunals would act efficiently agaiaat
any attempts against persona or proper
ties. Meanwhile the socialists are organ
izing for a general strike throughout
Italy to protest against religious instruc
tion. Announcements, wedding stationery and

est men's mistakes
Many a bright and promising; career has been blighted by neglected condi
tions and Injurious habits before the age of knowledge and understanding, and
many have been cut short by the unfortunate contracting of aome special dia
eaae, which through neglect or Improper treatment has completely undermined
and shattered the physical strength and mental faculties. No greater mistake
can be made than to consider lightly the first evidence of the Introduction
of any dlseasn Into your system or to neglect the first symptoms of weak
ened mind and Impaired health caused by neglect, Ignorance, dissipation, etc
Such Indifference and neglect of the firx! symptoms are reniwmttlble for
thousanda of human wrecks, failures In life, and business, domestic discord
and unhappy married life, divorce, Insanity, suicide, etc Men. why take
such desperate chances? The manifestations of the first symptoms of any
dlseaae should be a warning to you to take prompt steps to safeguard your
future life and happiness. You should carefully avoid all uncertain, experi
mental, dangerous or halfway treatment, for upon the success of the first
treatment depends whether you will be promptly restored to health again,
with all taint of poisonous disease removed from your system, or whether
It will be allowed to become chronic, and subject you to future recurrence of
the dlseaae, with the various resulting complications, etc
