Spain Is the pope's pet coun try and the pope has many pets who are under the shadow of the stars and stripes. Investigation will probably settle this question. In priest Phelan's answer to Dr. Iee's qaestion, he thin us all the Pro testants , are. heretics and that he priest"' "Pheiatf is not a heretic, Is enough to make a dog not a dog-collared; man, but a real dog laugh. Phelan Is a heretic and he is dyed in the wool, and If Christ, or Peter, or Paul, were here today, they would tell Mr. Phelan that he Is a heretic. And, unless Pheian changes, he will find my statement Is true before the fire goes out. And he will also find" there Is no half-way house, called purgatory. If things go with him as they have gone, he will hare a straight ticket and will not be troubled about any stop-overs. The way Vice President Hobart treated Miss Gonne he would make a first-class president next time we place a man in the presidential chair. I will vote for him now, so as to be sure my vote is in. Hobart is the man we want. He has brains, backbone and business qualifications, and will not be easily soft-soaped by the flannel mouthed gentry of monkey fame. .Put Hobart up now and start the ball rolling. Rev.' C." C Phelan lectured in the People's Temple, Portland, Me., on "Ideal American , Patriotism." ... This is not the heretic Phelan of St Louis. Evangelist HenryiVarley, of England is now on the war pa 'against Ro manism. Let the fight go on until Romanism is shown to be a heresy of which Priest Phelan, the noted watch man is one. -The St. Louis heretic, Phelan, says, the United States never had any re ligion I expect he thinks Rome is full of it, where the Koman Catnollcs claim, the pope cannot go out because of belne afraid of being killed. Our state prisons, and jails are full of re ligion, because it is the Roman Catho lics who are there in abundance, and of course this heretic Phelan is- full of religion. Some times they say he is so full of it, when he comes out of a Roman gin shop, he bows to the lamp posts. This Phelan should turn over a new leaf and try to be a gentlemaa and a scholar once. A. Wanted a Change or Venue. Last Saturday a motion was argued before Judge Buna asking for a change of venue to some other coun ty of the House of the Good Shep herd case. Attorneys O'Brien and Clapp op posed it very strenuously. Mr. Butts showed that, while the population of St Paul was about 26 per cent. Cath olics, the Judges, who have the se lection of the names of the jurors, had drawn about 55 to 60 per cent Catho lics, and that it would be impossible to secure a fair and impartial trial of Bald case. Mr. Butts also referred to the testimonial benefit given at the People's church, for which thousands of' tickets were given away, in order to get a crowd, at which John Ireland 4nd others delivered speeches, making statements that were untrue and mis leading, to prejudice the public, all of which has a tendency to prevent the plaintiff from securing a fair and im partial jury, and thereby, a fair trial, Jftid that a just verdict Xxrald never fete! obtained in Ramsey coanty. " The attorneys objected very atrenu' busly to the change, claiming addi tional expense wonld be Incurred, which would result in a great hard ship, etc. Mr. Butta replied by stating that the institution was located be tween the two cities, as near to Min neapolis aa St. Paul, and that to try the case in Minneapolis would not be more expensive than at St Paul. . The judge continued the hearing until Saturday, March 19. The manner in which the names of Jurors are selected is as follows: , Last October the six Judges selected 400 names, from whlch4number Jur or are drawn for each term of court Two of the Judges are Roman Cath lies, and the lists show that they have selected a large preponderance of Catholics. The other Judges show no dlscrimi nation, but select from all without dls crimination. Thus, it can be Been, with one-third of the Judge Catholic, and discrimination being shown, It is easy to get from 60 to 60 per cent of Catholic on a jury; hence, bo impar tial trtaL Wa will giv oar reader fall particulars of tola scheme la ta near future. The Brew. Jew I'sder Catfeebc Ba. thing out of the way to attain that P?r- They nave great aspiration. One of the stumbling blocks In the way Is the wealth of the Jews. If they are unable to manage this wealth they want to destroy it. If -iey wish to hlr drlUed nd quipped soldiers from the tour corners or me eann 10 'down" a certain nation, the purse strings of the wealthy Jew might he loosened for that nation and the Ro man Catholics might "get it In the neck, and that Is something they wish to avoid. If they possibly can. A Ro man Catholic has no use for a Jew or any one else whom they cannot use. As you study the question in France, take particular notice of the opposi tlon to the Jews, the person and the source from which trouble comes, al though the Roman Catholic will never work "above board" when he can work secretly. - A. 8HARPEXEI SWORDS. BV H. W. BOWMAN. Popes are Policy men. Priests grow rich by fraud. i Opposing Rome Is a proof of princi ple. . ' There can be no real love for Amer ica when the pope is the ruler. ; . All papists are bigoted no matter how liberal they may make out to be. Rome makes it a religious duty to oppose the public 'chools. Rome finds slander a better weapon than a bowle knife. . Those who would lead men to oppose Rome must look up her record. It takes patriotism to stand out against papal tyranny. One of Rome's best hiding places is behind a pile of money. Take up any of your great world problems today and you will find the pope has his finger in the pie. There Isn't much patriotism in the heart of the man who aids Rome in gaining power in this country. The best remedy for national apathy is to let Rome introduce some of her old methods of persecution. The papal praising college professor is one of the pope's best workers in this country. It is much easier to be contented with party pandering to Romanism than to steadfastly oppose it. A narrow headed bigot is the popes' idea of a first class man. Thinkers al ways give the popes trouble. Where the public school sows one grain of patriotism the parochial sows ten tare seeds of treason. Mr. S. M. White, father of Charles P.

There i not a state or territory in the Union In which there is not a trial for murder pending, la the mate of Kentucky there are forty-seven cases concerning ninety-one prisoners for murder awaiting trial. In Virginia there are at least twenty-three charge of murder. In the first state only seven of the men in Jail to be tried for the capital offense of murder are negroes, in Virginia there are eight. North Carolina has twenty cases or more, Georgia twenty-seven, Louisiana score, Texas thirty-two or thirty- three. Missouri twenty-four, Illinois sixteen, Indiana seven, Michigan three, Ohio eight, Pennsylvania twenty-six. New York forty-two, Connecticut. Rhode Island and Vermont one each. New Hampshire has Just settled one of her three by a sentence of thirty years Imposed upon a erased assassin. California has twenty-seven cases on her docket, and, altogether, with a dozen, more or less, there are 280 charges of murder on the criminal docket of the various states sad ter ritories. Some of these have only passed as yet from the hands Of,, the coroner or ' committing magistrates, others are on trial, some are on ap peal, and a few have gone through all the judicial procedure and the con victed men are only awaiting the exec utive action of the law to complete their record. There is no dominating cause of these crimes, unless It be that In the large cities they are more frequently connected with robbery. Love, revenge, madness, pure thirst of shedding blood gain, jealoiiBy, polit ical wrangles, family feuds and drunk en brawls are a few of the sources from which the homicidal acts have origin. Some seem not to have even the plea of madness, to which so many of the causeless crimes are referred. It is a mooted point whether legal pun ishment has any deterrent effect upon crime, but no ooe can note the terribly suggestive figures given above with out an earnest wish that punishment have a real test Philadelphia Times HERMIT IN A BIG CITY. . a Why an Old Lady Has Shut Heraelf Off ' from tha World. Various, Indeed, are the ways In which eccentric people indulge their little peculiarities, but a decidedly original manner has been adopted by an old lady living here, says a Paris letter to the London Telegraph. On one of the grand boulevards stands a house with closed shutters and fasten ed door. Scarcely a sign of life is there about the place and the house has re mained in a simillar state over a quar ter of a century. The owner Is an old lady, who, on Sept 4. 1870, the day on which the re public was proclaimed, resolutely deter mined that no one affected by republic an ideas should ever cross the threshold of her dwelling. To avoid any such contingency Bhe simply declined to allow any one inside and has refused all offers to hire either apartments or the shop below. The only time she breaks through her hard and fast rule is when workmen are permitted to en ter in order to carry out repairs. Painters, carpenters, locksmiths and masons once a year In turn invade her privacy and make good any damage To relatives whose political tendencies are the same as her own she is partlc ularly gracious, but at the death of each one an apartment in the building is sealed up end now all are closed barring the very small one at the back of the house, which the anti-republic an hermit reserves for her own use and that of her three servants. This strange behavior on the part of an old lady has repeatedly excited comment and numerous have been the attempts of people to gain an entrance by some ruse or other. All their efforts are foiled by an aged servant who guards the front door with dragon-like vigil ance, and the would-be intruder soon flftds the portals slammed In his face and himself none the wiser for his curiosity. NO CORRECT MAP OF CUBA Spanish Government Baa Been Woefully NegMaent In Thle Respect. From the New York Sun: Any landsman who tries to buy a good map of Cuba will learn the surprising fact that no such map has ever been made and that eyeo its coasts are for the most part either uncharted at" all 'or charted ao carelessly and incorrectly that the captains of vessels in ' ap proaching any except a few of the Is land's most Important harbors - are forced to rely almost exclusively on such information as their own eyes and sounding lines will supply. This may not seem like a very important mat ter, especially to those who are accus tomed to think of Cuba as an out-of-the-way part of the world, in which many characteristics of a new and un explored region are pardonable. In reality, however, this lack of maps and charts showa the quality of Spanish rule as clearly as do the murders of nonnombatants or the wholsale mis appropriation of public funds about which every correspondent baa. so much to say. As countries In the new world go, Cuba is very old. The Spaniards began to explore it in 1492, and since 1511, except for a single year, they have had uninterrupted possession of it And In 400 years they have not had time enough to spare from the task of draining the Island's resources even to survey its coast. The Idea of adding Cuba to the civilized world never oc curred to them. The only thought was to establish at Havana and in a few other places great fortresses, by which the Island could be not governed but controlled, and anything that would help general commerce wii carefully left sndon. PRESIDENT MAY ENTERTAIN. at fade Way for Revival of , I tally MedleM'e rantee- Sounds of music, dancing and revel ry may soon be beard again in the fa mous east room of the white nous. There Is a promise that the fine old customs of the days of pretty Dolly Madison, "when the hours went round the dial to tha sound of flute and viol," are to be revived. The pre ence In the official household of sev eral pretty nieces, tbe many al tractive daughters of meintwr of the cabinet and news of a long list of girls to be entertained by Vice President and Mrs. Hobart have set the ball of public opinion on this subject rolling with tremendous impetus. Probable con servative objections of President -r- Klnley bid fair to be bowled aside by sheer force of youth and tbe ever In creasing prosperity that baa put warm. new blood Into the social arteries of the capital. Not a week passes when evenings are not given over to some one who wishes to play, sing or recite In the white house. The cabinet fam ilies assemble with that of the pres ident, there Is a little alienee, a good deal of operatic trilling, with a ballad to finish; or much: prose, some blank verse, a triolet or two, or Instrumental interpretations of masters, old and new. Applause follows, then "aood nights." All very well for the elder folk, but deadly dull for the younger ones. - "Put linen on the east room floor and call up the Marine band. Hard times are over. Let the young people laugh and he glad that the shadows have drifted." said a aortal leader. "If everybody is pleased," she added, "build a ballroom, where not only American girls and their caval iers, but little children, beloved - by Mra. McKlnley, can now and then rule tbe hour." The society leader recalled the famous birthday party of Andrew Johnson, when 300 little folk were hla guests, crowding the state dining room for a lordly feast, dancing and laughing through tbe big house, while tbe band played a jolly accompaniment to their pattering feet and bappy Voices. The last dance aiven in tbe white bouse was for Mrs. McKee dur ing General Harrison's administration. A hundred or more ladlee and gentle men took part In the gay affair. There were merriest music, supper and a general good time. PEACHES 75 YEARS OLD. Laborer Discover a Caa - of Preserved Fruit la aa Old Cellar. From tbe Philadelphia Record: Can ned peaches at least seventy-five year old, which, like wine, seem to have improved witn long standing, were a feast a few days ago for the family of Charles Zellman of Haddington. It was while digging with fellow work men tor the cellars of a row of new houses on ground that was once part of the old Dal ton farm that Zellman struck his pick Into a cavity. Inves tigation revealed a sort of stone-lined well not more than six feet deep, which had been covered over and con cealed. There was a foot of clean cold water at the bottom, In which stood an old-fashioned glazed earthenware Jar, with the lid scaled tightly on with wax. It was not without some difficul ty that the Jar was opened, but it. was finally done by forcing it with the edge of a spade. The men had ex pected to see treasure of some kind and were surprised, not to say dis appointed, when only bright yellow peaches met their gaze. The fruit was perfectly preserved. Zellman claim ed the prize by right of discovery, and his family devoured the contents of the Jar. about two quarts, without re gard to historic value. Close by the covered well is the now leveled side of the old Dalton farm house, abandoned early in the present century. How the good wife who put up the peaches hap pened to forget them in the spring la more than can be told, nor does Zell man greatly care. Weddlns Fee ranee Scandal. Wedding fees have caused some thing of a scandal at Cumberland, Md., or, if not the fees, the division of them. It seems that certain clergymen there have been In the habit of paying hack men for every couple from across the state line that may be brought to them, and the result has been the es tablishment of a regular system of what amounted to , little less than blackmail, The . local ministerial as aoclaMon has taken the matter up, and every .parson, in. the, place will aoon he asked to sign a promise to pay no tips to drivers for bringing custom of thl kind. New Tork Times. A Trala Checker. A Belgian baa invented an automat ic train-checker, which has Just been successfully tested in France. The ap- nsratus was placed in position at a distance of 250 yards from the station It consists of an Immense iron catch, fastened to the rails and regulated by wire and lever from the station. When lying flat traina pass it without dlffl culty. When raised it catches a lever suspended from a passing locomotive The lever automatically opens an air valve on the engine, and the brakes act immediately. During the trial the train stopped before reaching the sta tion. He Succeeded. A Jefferson county man who owned a small county newspaper made up his mind that he was entitled to a vaca tlon and, having fixed upon tbe place to "put in the time," wrote the presl dent of a railroad for a pass.
