The Pope's
It Is no wonder thst at his age and with
his weakness Pope Leo should believe that
this his Easter encyclical Is his last anl
thst he should mske It his testsment to the
Catholic church.
Nor Is It strange thst he should feel the
burden of the misfortunes that oppress hla
church. He regsrds them as peraecutlons.
It will take more than one or two papal
reigns to teach the leeaon that the tem
poral rule of Rome must belong to the
Italian nation and not to the Roman
church. After another pope or two there
will be peace between the qulrinal and the
Vatican and that by the submission of the
Vatican to the loss of Its temporal power,
but It Is too soon now. France is not yet
reconciled to the loss ot Alsace and Lor
raine, but It Is getting reconciled; and the
Vatican will. In time, get reconciled; and
will feel the better and work the better
and be In a more logical position, not to
say more Christian.
The pope may well lament the evils that
afflict the church. It would seem as If
every Catholic government on the earth
was hostile and every Protestant govern
ment was friendly. That Is because In
Protestant countries the Catholic church'
la not established; It Is free. But In Cath
olic countries there Is constant friction be
tween church and stste. It Is so In Italy,
In Prance, In Spain, In Portugal and In the
Latin American states. Socialism Is grow
ing and socialism is opposed to establish
ments and so to the Catholic church as a
part of the machinery of the state. So the
pope finds socialism a great danger, lead
ing to anirchlsm.
In view of this great evil which he sees
and doubtless exaggerates, the growth of
socialism, developing, he thinks. Into an
archy and atheism, the pope utters the
most remarkable portion of his testament.
It Is an utterance to which we would give
full attention and all possible respect.
He Invokes the union of Christian bodies
aa the leading remedy to save society
from the violent attacks of anarchism and
atheism. We regret that we have not
yet the full text of this portion of his
encyclical, but If the cable dispatches fslrly
express Its language, holds out a help
ing hand, and asks a helping hand from
those Christian bodies which are not In
communion with the Roman church, with
those who are often called courteoualy,
"our separated brethren."
For brethren. In a sense, the Roman
church holds the rest of us Christians to
be. We have been baptized, and there
fore Christians. Yet It Is a remarkable
thing that there should be this recognition
of Protesant and Greek Christians for we
suppose this is what his language allows
as allies, not foes. It Is no bad service that
the general enemy, the atheists, have done.
If they force the mutual kindly recognition
of Christian bodies so widely separated, and
which have refused, and still refuse too
often, to acknowledge each other aa
churches, however, they may admit that
those outside their pale are, or may be
perhaps, Christians.

Asphalt Trust Waterlogged
The report of the Audit company ot New
York on the condition and earnings ot the
Anhit company of America, which col
lapsed a few weeks sgo, was presented to
ths investigating committee appointed by
iUv holders at tne gold certificates of the
company in Philadelphia last week. It
was decidedly unfavorable, and came as
a bombshell to tne certincate noiaers.
Some features of the report, culled from the
Philadelphia Ledger, will interest people
la the west.
With authorized capitalization aggregat
ing $58,000,000, with fixed charges of $2,-
150,000 a year, the actual net earnings of
the compsnles for the last two years have
been less than $700,000, or an average of
$350,000 a year. The condition Is In part
explained by the statement that extraordi
nary expenses have been met in Venezuela
and that one ot the underlying companies.
the National Contracting company, has
maed heavy losses, but even with the ex
planation the report shows a condition of
affairs that was unexpected except by very
few persons.
In a statement accompanying the audit
report the investigating committee says:
"The committee has this day received
a report from the Audit company of New
York of the reault of aa examination of
the account of the American Asphalt com
pany and of the National Asphalt company
for the years 1900 and 1901.
"This report Is very voluminous, cover
ing ths operations of some sixty out
standing companies, which constitutes the
basis for the consolidation of the entire
asphalt business, under which all the
present securities and stocks were Issued.
"Some of these companies made large
profits, others made large losses.
"During this period the asphalt com
pany was obliged to spend an unusual sum
of money in defending its property in
Venezuela, aad it also suffered extraordi
nary losses In the operation of certain
subsidiary companies engaged in engineer
ing, contracting and other work not con
nected In any essential way with the busi
ness of selling asphalt or of laying asphalt

George Eliot always dressed with great

home or on shipboard, unless surrounded
by an atmosphere of refined luxury. A story
Is told that Mr. Edmund Russell, ot Del
sarte memory, was once consulted by the
author of "That Lass o' Lowrles" regarding
a certain gown. The material chosen was
of large figured brocade, which on her short
person did not promise results that were
alluring. "Which is the right side of this
fabric V asked Mr. Russell. "This." said
the novelist. Indicating it to him. "You
are mistaken madam," rejoined Mr. Rus

poetry." His hint or suggestion, however,
was not heeded and the dress was made up
with its right side turned outward to the
world.

Testament
the Anglican church are not valid, and
that It Is therefore no true church. It
was a decision shsrply resented by those
whom it unchurched and consigned to
schism. We do not suppose there Is the
slightest' hope that this decision will be
reversed, or that any action or utterance
will offer to rehabilitate Anglican Prot
estants, Greeks or Armenians, on the ec
clesiastical side; that Is not the way that
hsrmonlouB relations begin. It Is aa
Christians, not aa organised churches; that
recognition must Drat be asked: and we
may assume that In bis encyclical the
pope has summoned Christians and Chris
tian organizations to united defense, with
out committing himself to the recognition
of any churches, as such, outside of the
Roman communion.
But of more Importance to us Is our
right attitude toward such an outstretched
hsnd. How far can we make the Roman
Catholic church our ally In the warfare
against evil and unbelief?
The general Protestant attitude has, un
til late years, been one of positive hos
tility. The bloody persecutions by one
side or the other, in the days ot Queen
Mary and Queen Elizabeth, have not been
allowed to pass Into oblivion. It Is only
fifty years since a great political party
whose platform was antl-Romanlsm swept
half our states. The American Protective
association has only within ten years ceased
to be a power. But now there is hardly
a remnant of this bitterness In Protestant
circles in the country; nothing like the bit
terness that exists, for example, in Franca
or Italy.
The explanation Is most creditable to
the Catholic church. Apart from the very
favorable conditions we mean the utter
separation of church and state the chfet
force which has led to the ' kindlier at
titude of Protestants toward Catholics has
been the close views of their good Chris
tian character. The Catholics have been
right in our families, maids and men. They
have been faithful to their church while
faithful to their work. It was easy to see
that the Influence of their church upon
them was wholly good. Their priests have
been faithful and useful In their place,
using more authority than we had been used
to, but using It generally for good ends,
for morality and religion. Their priests
have had the respect ot their neighbors,
ministers of Protestant churches. They
have been loyal citizens, and friends of
temperance and all good order. And the
second generation have made good Ameri
can citizens.
And we have seen very little of the su
perstitions, the utter fetishism, which we
know has elsewhere been allowed in the
Ignorant classes, and none of Immorality
we have beard of. On the other hand,
we have seemed to see a rivalry with
our churches to surpass them In churchly
service, and apparent desire to empha
size those things that belong to the es
sentials ot Christianity, so that we have
seen our best and most active Catholics,
those of greatest influence and highest
pavements. The results of the earnings
of the combined companies for the two
years, as will be shown by the figures given,
are so entirely unsatisfactory and are so
meager in comparison with the basis of
capitalization of the American and Na
tional companies, thst the committee will
continue to press its Investigations, which
is meant to be thorough in all respects, as
to the causes and reasons for such appar
ent overcapitalisation."
The figures for the two years, as given in
the committee's statement, are:
"Net earnings for the year ending De
cember 81, 1900, from sales of asphalt and
asphalt paving, only $486,340.35.
"Net earnings for the year 1901, $908,
626.92. "From which should be deducted $400,000,
representing the extraordinary expenses in
Venezuela and also certain further large
losses In the operation of the contracting
companies in engineering work above re
ferred to, leaving the actual net results for
the year 1900 $326,748.82, and for 1901 $371,
427.26." The statement continues:
"It should be noted that In arriving at
this result a very ample allowance has been
made for a maintenance fund, and also for
depreciation charges, which the Audit com
pany reports were not duly considered In
the public statements by the company for
the year 1900."
In conclusion the atatement says:
"The committee will continue, and as
promptly as possible complete its Investiga
tion into the promotion, organization and
operation of these companies, and will re
port fully to the certificate holders the re
sult of this work, as also its recommenda
tion concerning a plan of reorganization,
which the committee is advised is now in
process of formulation."
"The discrepancy between the figures now
made public and those first given out as the
earnings tor 1900." says the Ledger, "Is so
wide as to occasion much surprise that the
first figures should ever have been made
public, and alao conjecture as to how they
could be arrived at. It waa stated yester
gowns, which were La Tosca in design or
directolr or empire by turns. She could
write most at her ease when clothed In a
certain pale rose-colored gown with a
Persian sash. India silk peignoirs and
Worth gowns galore were seen In her ward
robe. Her Instructions were usually wound
up with the admonition "make me lcok as
slim as possible." Her gowns were stun
ning, they amazed Newport and wrought
confusion to the fashion writers, when
Amelle Rives was the sensation of the hour.
Her clothes are also affairs of prime Im
portance to "Oulda." She alwaya dresses
with elaborate care and usually in rather
fantastic fashion, being able to compose In
more glowing style if attired In draperies
like unto those with which she clothes her
heroines. Three Spitz dogs are her con
stant companions, even when she is writing.

becoming seml-Protestantlzed. Indeed,
while ws have been growing kindlier to
ward Catholics, and have been making
more of the festivals ot the Catholic
church, it seems as If Catholics were be
coming more like us In preaching and
practice. Of course, then, the Presbyterian
church Is compelled to repeal the article
ot its confession ot faith which declares
that the pope of Rome Is anti-Christ.
And Protestants have no right to deny
that the Church of Rome Is a true church.
It worships the same one God as the rest
of us and It holds to the same Savior. It
declares that its worship of the virgin and
the saints Is of a different kind from its
worship ot the Triune God. We see the
danger of such worship, but we see that
they make less of saints than they used
to and that they make more ot the dis
tinction. To our view It Is very foolish to ask
a saint to Intercede with God when we can
go directly to Him, and there is danger of
Idolatry, but it Is not unchristian any more
than It is for a Protestant Inquirer to ask
his living friends to pray for him. The doc
trine of purgatory seems to us unscrlp
tural, but it Is certainly not unchristian.
Even we are beginning to think that we
have taught more about the future world
than we know. The practice of confession
seems to us to be required when It should
be only permitted, but It cannot be un
christian, and It baa its good side. The
supremacy of the pope seems to us a dan
gerous doctrine, but one can certainly be
a good Christian and be a pope or a be
liever In popes. Our chief complaint of
the Catholic church is that it makes so
much of rites and machinery that It Is lia
ble to forget that God Is a spirit and that
spiritual worship is what He wants. But
somehow there Is enough essential religion
taught to bear up all the froth ot form,
and It is our duty to expect that what we
call the excrescences of faith will be less
and less emphasized, that the useless or
hurtful accretions will gradually fall oft
by the process of desuetude. We must look
always for the good and not what we think
the bad, and be more ready to praise than
to blame.
So we are grateful to the pope If he has
asked our aid in the warfare against all
vice and wrong. His purpose to bring
peace to the world, to reduce armaments
and war, is ours also. We would have
Catholics and Protestants brought Into
closer relations. It is a delight to us to
see their crowded churches which are doing
God's work. If not quite In our way. The
only influence we can see that Is opposed
to the invitation of the pope for fellowship
of kindly service Is that which seeks to
have the church meddle with the state In
the public schools. He Is a foe to the Cath
olic church, a foe to Its peaceful and mighty
growth, who. seeks to have the church
teach Its religion In the public schools.
The Catholic church Is now doing well un
der a system which it approves and to
attempt to change It would be like kicking
a hornet's nest.
What the In.
vestiratM Re
vealed. day that in making up the figures for the
first of the two years, the asphalt officials
failed to allow for a guarantee fund and tor
the extraordinary expenses named,
"It was stated that the Audit company is
of the opinion that while the extraordinary
expenditures in Venezuela, from the point
of view of the earning capacity of the com
panies, were not properly chargeable to the
year 1901, in which they were incurred, still
a certain proportion of these expenses
should be deducted from the profits of that
year and of each year.
"The Audit company held that for this
unusual expense $50,000 should be allowed
out of the profits for each year.
"It is thought probable that the affairs
of the National Contracting company,
whose losses In three years on sewer and
other work in New Orleans and elsewhere
amounted to about $500,000, will be wound
up. Some of the members of the com
mittee hold the opinion that the companies,
when organized, should confine themselves
to asphalt and not carry on a business so
widely different as that of the National
Contracting company.
"It Is stated on excellent authority that
an investigation into the overcaDltallza
tlon la already being made by the receiv
ers. The fact that the committee feels it
Incumbent upon itself to go to the bottom
of the matter and that the receivers also
will doubtless make a thorough investiga
tion, renders It almost a certainty that the
facts regarding the Inception and formation
of the companies will be laid bare. The
members of the committee feel that the
report as to the reault of the operations
ot the companies must be very disappoint
ing to the security holders.
"A plan of reorganization is now pretty
well determined upon. The matter has
beeen under discussion for some time, and
while, In a general way, it baa been out
lined, the members have lteld that noth
ing definite could be done until the earn
ing power ot the properties 'should be
known. Now that that knowledge Is In tha
hands of the committee, the question of
reorganization will be discussed In a defi
nite way."

SHE world is full of active men. who
direct the affairs of state, carry on
commerce and pursue the professions
of science and art, but the perfectly healthy
woman is far too scarce. There is a crying
need for sturdy mothers and active women
who make themselves felt in the home and
out of it. Women should really prepare
themselves to undertake life's responsibili
ties. It is not strange that sickness is so
common among women. The laborious
duties of the housewife, coupled with the
care of young children, are too much for the
average woman whose delicately poised
organs are easily upset. And women's
natural modesty keeps them from com
plaining about matters connected with the
organs of generation. They will not tell
ths story of their suffering to a doctor and
they abhor local examinations and surgical
operations. In this way thousands and
thousands of women become invalids and
the woman who is healthy and fit for every
duty is hard to find. If every woman
knew that Wine .of Cardui invariably re
lieves female weakness when taken as di
rected there would be fewer sufferers. But
all women do not yet realize that suffering
female weakness is totally unnecessary
when Wine of Cardui can be secured. The

Miss Cathryn Lawler, of Appleton, Wis.,
the Secretary of the Ladies' Shakes perian
Club, is a lady of high intellectual attain
ments and she knows what she is talking
about. She writes the following about her
experience with Wine of Cardui:
" I have fouai Vine of Cardui aa excel
lent remedy and am always pleased to call
the attention of my friends to it. Vhtn that
tired, languid feeling cemrt on you and you
lose your appetite and sleep, your head aches
and everything goes wrong, I have found that
a bottle of your medicine has always restored
me. The battle of health is fought in the
blood and when Vine of Cardui enters the
system it drives disease out, leaving the body
free from all impurities. I have given it
several trials and as it has never failed me I
feel that I am competent to Judge of itsJ
merits and unhesitatingly recommend it."

fered female ills and has been cured by

Every woman who suffers the terrible)
bearing-down aches, sharp, cutting, burn
ing pains, which always result from men
