His first position was as stenographer for a railroad official in the south. He was born in 1853 at Pass Christian, Miss., and has had a wide experience in high official capacities with American railroads south, west and north. For a time he was second vice president of the Great Northern railroad. He has been promoted from a correspond inir pi-'tm on the Southern.

"I saw in the paper today that a reporter over in Indianapolis was given an assignment by his editor to put cn the gloves with John L. Sullivan, to that he could get a story on. how it feels to be knocked out by a prize lighter," remarked Policeman Harry Hobble, yesterday at police headquarters.

Just then the crowd gave me the laugh
but I didn't get wise in fact, I got

One of the most daring robberies in
several months, occurred shortly after
six o'clock Friday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Newlin,
1120 Main street.
The thief quietly opened the door
and took two overcoats belonging to
Master Paul Newlin and Genevive
Newlin, in addition to a wrap belonging to Miss Marguerite Downing. Mr. and Mrs. Finley Newlin were sitting in the room adjoining the vestibule, where the wraps were taken and heard some one come in, but they thought it was a roomer staying on the second floor. They again heard the door close and Mrs. Newlin went to the door and then saw a man walking out the gate. He had a bundle under his arm. Mrs. Newlin did not even at that time take the alarm. The loss was discovered later and a search made for the thief, but it was unsuc
cessful.
The Newlins are inclined to think that a shoestring peddler was the man who stole the wraps, as he appeared at
the home several days ago and while
trying to make a sale, seemed to be
greatly Interested in the arrangement of the interior of the home. The police are working on the case, but as yet
no one has been arrested.
A GIRL OPERATOR PREVENTED WRECK

A FARMER HELPED HER
HE FLAGGED TRAIN WITH RED LANTERN ROCK ISLAND CAME
NEAR HAVING ANOTHER SERI
OUS ACCIDENT.
Publishers' Press. Hutchinson, nan., Jan. 5. Nora Breckinridge, night telegraph operator at Arlington, near here, prevented a wreck of two Rock Island freight trains. Through a confusion of orders a westbound train cleared from Arlington just as an eastbound train left Turon, two stations west. A moment later Miss Breckinridge was ordered to hold the westbound train. Langdon station, which was between the two trains, is not a night telegraph office. After Miss Breckinridge tried In vain to reach Langdon she resorted to the telephone and located John Spencer, a farmer, near the railrpad. She told Spencer the situation, begged him to get a lantern, wrap it with a
red cloth and hurry to the track. He did so and arrived in time to flag the westbound train with the other train
only half a mile away.
Trumped-up Charge. St. Louis, Jan. 5. Aaron Lopez Manzano, formerly a member of the Mexican junta in St. Louis, was released from custody by Judge Finkelburg in the United States couft. A charge of rifling registered letters was brought against him recently as a subterfuge to have him extradited to Mexico, but nothing was found to substantiate the accusation and the federal grand jury ignored the charge. Negro's Fear Lost a Job. Hattiesburg, Miss., Jan. 5. The vacant clerkship in the Hattiesburg postoffice to which the negro. W. T. George, was appointed, was filled by a white clerk. George recently notified the postoffice department that he
feared personal injury if he accepted the position. The vacancy was filled after George was notified to appear and failed to respond. White residents claim George's fear of violence was not well founded.
Prisoner's Identity. Lamar, Colo, Jan. 5. Andrew Johnson, under arrest here on charge of murdering Marshal . Frisbie, was identified as the man wanted for the. hold-up of the Rio Grande station at Leadville, three weeks ago, shooting the station agent.

compel the pre;t?nt management of
the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
road to allow him or his representa

Congo Protest. -Washington, Jan. 5. Strong protests were received by the administration against interference by thi3 government - in the affairs of the Congo, as urged by religious and other bodies and individuals throughout the United States. These protests come from Individual Catholics and Catholic organizations throughout the country. They assert, that all the reports of alleged cruelties against natives are made by Protestants, and that they are biased and founded on inac-
iirate and misleading information. Cuban Claims. - Havana, Jan. 5. The commission appointed to settle claims for damages incurred during the recent insurrection reported to Governor Magoon that it substantiated the claims of otaers of S3 horses seized by insurgents. The governor ordered that these claims be paid, and he directed the appropriation of $50,000 to meet all claims arising from the late trouble. This sum will be increased if necessary.

A mammoth steel plant, employing 5,000 men. Is to be erected there. It Is expected that the ground will be broken for the new project early In the sunmer.
To the Editor of the Palladium:
The situation in France is difficult
to understand, all the more so because it is a question in which the Catholic
church and the French Republic are
interested. The major portion of the people in this country do not understand the "whys" and wherefores" of it all, soo an explanation will not come amiss at this time. France has always been regarded as the oldest daughter of the Catholic church and the Republic is everywhere dotted with handsome churches and ancient and modern shrines, including the famous Lourdes. The population of France is about 39,000,000, in round numbers, about 31,000,000 of whom are Catholics. Counting the colonies and dependencies, there are about 90,000,000 people. Republican government was established in 1870 and the President is elected every seven years. There is a chamber of Deputies numbering 584, elected every four years by universal suffrage, and in this body the legislative function is vested. There is also a Senate, composed of 300 members, elected every nine years. To be a member of this august body, a man must be forty years of age. All religions are equal before the law, and any sect numbering 100,000 adherants gets a grant from the government. Only Catholics, Protestants and Jews are at the present time entitled to these grants. Instruction is controlled by a Minis
ter of Education. There are about S3,
000 public and private elementary
schools, with about 5,600,000 pupils
Higher education is supplied by the State and by the Communes. There
are university faculties of five differ ent kinds 2 of theology, 13 of law. 7 of medicine, 15 of science, 15 of let
ters and 23 other schools.
The national debt of France is great
er than that of the United States and
Germany combinned, ad is the largest
in the world.
Here in the United States, the people at large are naturally disposed to
condemn clergymen who, by declin
ing-to comply with the request of the
covernment. expose themselves to
charge of rebellion against the author"
ties of the land. But in order to un
derstand the refusal of the Roman Catholic clergy of France to fulfill the
requirements of the new law of sep
aration, it must be explained that the
provisions or tne statute in question
demand the consent of t,he church and
of its ministers, that has been be-
oueathed and donated them, to be
held in trust for religious and philan
thropic purposes. It is property which they do not derive from the govern
ment, but from the generosity of the
pious, and of which they are merely
trustees.
Here is the story in a nutshell:
The situation created by the new
law of separation, which is the cause
of the present crisis In France, is as
if, for instance, the legislature of Indiana were to enact laws compelling the trustees of the new Catholic cathe
dral at Indianapolis, under the penalty of confiscation, to give their consent to the alienation of all its vast prop
erty to other uses than those for
which It was intended, and confer its administration and control to the people who might belong to rival denom
inations or even profess atheism. It is as if the legislature of Indiana were to enact a statute requiring the Catholic church, under the penalty of the confiscation of its property of one kind or other to consent to the transfer of the management and control of Its sacred edifices, seminaries, rectories, hospitals, protectories and other educational and charitable institutions to associations in which not merely avowed foes . of Catholicism among the protestant denominations, but also agnostics and scheming politicians,
indifferent to any sort of religious belief, were in the majority.
In a word, the French government
has enacted virtual laws, a thing which would not be tolerated for a
minute in any state in this free re
public.
The new law requires of the church
the alienation of all its property to boards of laymen, in the selection of
w hich it has virtually no voice this board to have full and perfect control, not only over the funds, but even over the religious edifices, and over the ex
ercise of divine worship itself, inde-
pending of pope, bishop and common
law.
ilie property concerned "consists of
about 30,000 churches (of which less than SOO have been built with the aid
of state or municipality) and the prop-
property of the church to these bodies, there could not only be no public exercises of divine worship, but there would also follow the confiscation of the sacred edifices, the rectories and other ecclesiastical property by the State. The Pope and the Roman Catholic church in France today are fighting with far better justification and much greater moderation the very war that Chalmers and the other founders of the Free Kirk waged in Scottland over sixty years ago for "The Crown Rights of Christ." There is no question of the differences between the various religious denominations. The Clergy of France are fighting the battle of Christendom, and every Christian
church should lend its sympathy, no matter what its denomination, which owns property and endovtments to be used for divine worship and for the dispensation of charity according to its own lights. J. S. Fitzgibbons.
