WAR IN POPE'S LETTER.
Encyclical's Ultimatum May Create
Grave Crisis , Says M. Clemenceau.
Carlsbad , Aug. 22. M. Clomencenu
the French minister of the Interior , Is
now hero taking the cure. When
asked regarding the consequences of
the pope's enocllcnl he replied :
"It is n declaration of war nnd wll
create a new political situation that
will perhaps cause all other questions
to pass into the backKround for some
time to come , for If the Holy Set
thinks that certain extenuating formu
too in the encyclical will be Interpret
ed by the French government ns nn
Invitation to negotiate It Is making a
very great mistake.
"The pope declares that not only
does ho reject the cultuellcs , but re
fuses even to take advantage of the
existing laws regulating public associa
tions. This crentes nn entirely new
state of things and may have very
grave consequences for the exercise of
religion in France. If no measures
are taken and If the churches find
themselves without proprietors in De
cember next , they will have to be
closed.
"Hut my personal sentiment Is , nnd
I hnvo never concealed it , that there
Is no necessity for the churches to be
'cultuelle. " If there nro no association
cultuelles n way must be found to con
ciliate the law with the exercise of
religion. "

Frye of Chicago , who has just returned

bllngs.
In 1878 there appeared In Hurley , S.
D. , a man who gave his name ns G. II.
Goddnrd. Ho began the practice of
law nnd was fairly successful. Ho also
Invested heavily In real estate , which
was then very cheap and is now val
uable. Ho never mentioned his past
Ifo , but settlers agreed that Goddard
VIIH not his real name. He possessed
considerable ability and a line educa-
Ion.
Goddard was candidate for various
illlccs , hut shifted his political beliefs
so often that ho wns not successful In
lint line. When ho came hero he
losed ns an Episcopalian , but later be
came very active In the Catholic
church and finally was appointed pro-
essor In the Catholic college nt the
intlonnl capital , where ho remained
i year and was then sent to the Phil-
pplnes , whore ho remained two years

he Philippines and rejoined his fain-
ly here. Two of his daughters still
eslde near Hurley. Shortly nftor re-
.urning he quarreled with his wife ,
who left him and Is supposed to bo in

ed in the banks of the town , and when

drafts of any description , demanding
ready money. A large amount of it
was paid to him In $100 bills , and on
receiving the cash he left Hurley ns ho
had come to It nearly thirty years ago ,
without any announcement ns to his

old neighbors.
It wns only a few days after God
dard loft Hurley with his ready cash
when Fryo returned to his wife In Chicago
cage with a cash donation of $5,000 In
$100 bills and desired that no ques
tions be asked.
Residents of Hurley have secured a
description of Frye , nnd thny are nil
absolutely certain that Frye was God
dard , while In Dakota , and has become
Fryo again on joining his wife , whom
he deserted thirty years ago to Join
another \\oman.
Outside his trip to the Philippines ,
Goddard did no wandering further than
wns necessary In his business as an
attorney , but attended his work in n
growing country , which rapidly added
to the value of the property he se
em ed when ho went Into the country
nt the time of Its settlement , and ac
cumulated a competency In that man
ner.
