mm The Pope and Spain m'-: |DOUBLE 8AID TO BE BREWING J* * Blrf#HEN THE TWO. ^ V"7 V<? • - OS tV ' .4ftpe'ts Reduction In Clerical Bildgtf it Obtained from Vatican Rupture Is Likely to Take Place, * JThe struggle which the Vatican has fcfen carrying on with France has re­ sulted in many of the exiled orders talking refuge in Spain and this has created a condition of affairs there that has brought the question of the relations of the Vatican to the church In Spain to a climax, so that there seems to be no doubt that, unless the present government of Spain can suc­ ceed in inducing the Vatican to accept • reduction of some $200,000 in the Clerical budget and acknowledge the regularity of the civil marriage, a rup­ ture will take place between Madrid and Rome which may even lead to the ^denunciation of the Concordat of 1851. In the meantime, the cardinal primate J- Monsignor Sancha, Cardinal i of Spain. {mate tof Spain, Mgr. Sancha, archbishop of Toledo, is doing his best to effect an understanding by reminding the gov­ ernment of the obligations for moral support both monarchy and dynasty are under, and seeking to impress Upon the Roman curia the necessity of making certain concessions toward the liberal movement in Spain. The problem to be solved is really tnore of a financial and a social than a religious one. The financial side is aggravated from three sources. The money which the government pays Outright to the clergy, the* expense to the country at large of the thousands of ihonks and friars who have estab- lished themselves after being driven oat of Prance, and founded schools and colleges for both sexes; and the immense amount of treasure which the Vatican annually takes out of the country--however high may be the ex­ change from paper money into gold, in gold the Vatican is paid, and the tithes which it gathers from all sources In Spain are said to represent annually some $9,000,000. The state spends annually for the church some 41,000,000 pesetas, or $8,200,000. According to the latest sta­ tistics, the total number of religious communities /throughout the country is 3,115, containing 50,933 members. Of these, 2,586 communities are for women, with 40,188 members, and 529 for men, with 10,745 members. The number of those which sought and ob­ tained registration by the gov­ ernment was 2,611, the registra­ tion being of a permanent and definite character in the case of 1,201, and of a provisional kind for 1,410. Registration was temporar­ ily withheld in the case of 150, pend­ ing further examination of thfeir titles and description. Of the 354 which re­ main, the greater part are orders of the Concordat and exempt from regis­ tration. • Of the 41,000,000 pesetas paid by the state to the church, about $6,000,000 is devoted to the payment of income; $750,000 to building, maintenance, and repair of churches; $225,000 is de­ stined for religious seminaries; and some $25,000 is allotted to religious congregations, cloistered nuns, , and others^ The sum of a little ov^r $1,- 000,000 is divided amongf the higher clergy, leaving less than $1,000,000 for the ordinary priesthood. As the latter must number considerably over 20,000, the average income of the, secular priest>cannot be more than* $50. Nor does there seem to be much more margin for economy in the sal­ aries paid to the superior clergy. There are nine archbishops, whose in­ comes range from $8,000 to $5,500; there are 51 bishops who receive from $5,500 to $2,000; there are 50 deans and 500 canons, whose average yearly income is less than $1,500.But even out of this poverty the Spanish church contrived to donate to the govern­ ment last year $750,000. Meanwhile, the native orders and their French guests barely make a living; the vil­ lage curate starves; the towers of Cuenta Cathedral crumble and fall for the want of timely repairs; and the country, which has so long regarded such matters with indifference, is be­ ginning, especially the liberal, progres­ sive part of it, to be disgusted #lth the whole question of religious domi­ nance. Our Springfield Letter Special Correspondent Writes of Thlnjrs of Interest at A DOUBLE 8ERVICE UNI. i A Wonderful Tunnel *- >HE UNDER: RIVER AT NEW YORK MARVEL OF SKILL. fetcoessful Completion of Gigantic j f Task Thjrt Hat Taxed the Inge- . Miit^ of the Best En­ gineers. ,;„T rfc- -S m: 1 "The railroad tunnel which has just heen completed under the North river from New York city to Weehawken, *N. J., is a marvel of ingenuity and skill, for it was found when the two bores made from opposite ends 'ap­ proached within 125 feet of each other that they were only one-eighth of an inch out of alignment and only three- barters of an inch out of grade, which, considering the size and the length of the tunnel, is something Jjjtever before heard of. The completion of this seventy-five million-dollar tunnel now makes it pos­ sible for one to walk from New York city into New Jersey, and it will not / he long before trains will be speeding through them. It is now five years since the first announcement was made of the project of building the tunnels, and it was only after a stren­ uous campaign of criticism and oppo­ sition that work was begun. The route of the tunnel is from the Jersey Meadows, beyond Bergen Hill '(Weehawken), to Thompson avenue, Long Island City. A special safety feature will be the Concrete walkways, or sidewalks, built inside the tubes on a level with the catr windows. If there is an accident Or a long delay, the passengers will t>e able to reach these Walkways from the car windows or doors. The cables for power, water pipes for protection against fire, and part of the signal Wires will be bedded in the concrete lteneath these sidewalks. The construction of the tubes has been designed with a view to safety, lustead of resting upon the river soil, they are supported by iron founda­ tions known as screw piles, such as are used for lighthouse props. In the case of the trolley tunnels built further south, the tubes rest in the soil, tor they will not have to bear trains of great weight The Pennsylvania tun­ nels, on the other hand, must support 100-ton electric locomotives, and hence it was necessary to provide iron foundations extending all the way down to bedrock. tMuch has been told of the Manhat­ tan terminal. It has been decided that this is to be a railroad station from top to bottom, with only such sub­ sidiary departments as are necessary Springfield.--Determined efforts to stop continual violations of state laws regulating the employment of con­ victs iu the penitentiaries will be made this fall at the opening of the legislative session. Nearly every Manufacturers' association in Illinois, backed by the power of the National Manufacturers' association, will aid in the programme. The statement Is made by leading Chicago manufactur­ ers, following the adoption of resolu­ tions by the Chicago Federation of Labor demanding that convict labor be restrained from competition with free labor. Present Conditions, it 1b declared, are worse than before 1903, when the state, farmed outs its labor to contractors. The statutes which Warden Murphy is said to be guilty of violating are those restricting the number of convicts employed in pro­ ducing goods for the open market, and the section of the convict labor law which provides that "it shall be the policy of the state to use, in such lu dustries, no more machinery or mo­ tive power, other Ithan hand or foot power, than shall be required success­ fully to carry this act into effect." Want National Apple Day. If the efforts of national, state and district horticultural societies prove successful, the third Tuesday of Octo­ ber soon will be numbered in the al­ manacs and calendars as one of the red-letter days in each year. Assist­ ing in the work of establishing the annual observance of the day are the apple packers, shippers and buy­ ers of the state. The plan is to mark this particular date as National Apple day and its purpose is to announce the annual opening of the apple-eat­ ing Reason. On this date all kinds of apples will have sufficiently ripened to be ready for food purposes. On October 16 the day was two years old, its birth having been. announced by horticultural societies in many states. Last year Oklahoma celebrated the day by giving all of the school chfl- dren in the state apples to eat and by dismissing the schools in order that the pupils might visit some of the state educational institutions and be instructed in planting and caring for apple trees. Because of the recog­ nized qualities of the fruit as a brain food, educators are hopeful that the plans of the horticultural societies will be taken up and a cooperative effort made to establish the day as originally mapped out. So enthusias­ tic are some of the workers that they Relieve the apple blossom can be made the national flower, and they say that when the fruit is appreciated as it deserves to be, it will be found upon every table in some manner or form and that America will be glad to proclaim the blossom its national flower. The apple crop is so abund­ ant in Illinois this year that none need be without the fruit, and the promoters are firm in their belief that the anniversary will be commemorat­ ed with much enthusiasm. Interior of Tunnel, Showing Safety Walkways of Concrete. to the comforts of railroad passengers. There will be restaurants and arcades of small shops near the waiting room, 300 feet long, but there will be no theater or hotel or beer garden despite frequently published rumors. To the various train platforms, below ground, the passengers will descend in elevators, and at the top of each elevator shaft will be electric signs showing what trains are due or wait­ ing. In short, there is-to be no con­ venience lacking, and the plans seem to provide for roominess and comfort enough to supply the demands of the future New York, however fast the population increases. | 10} BUGS OF UNTOLD AGE8 AGO j f|^:posille from Colorado Exactly the insect of To-Day. Like % T , k > i fJEf all the world the greatest de­ pository of fossil insects is at Floris­ sant, Colo. Dr. W. ll. Wheeler qj the 'American Museum of Natural History fpent*. his vacation there and has just brought hack some 2,000 specimens. The layman commonly thinks that fossil insects are found only in amber, * Which affords a protecting medium for the preservation of their delicate bodies. There are two or three places the world, however, where peculiar Conditions have preserved fossil in- iects in stone, ' One of them is Radapoj, In Bohemia, Imother Oeningen, in Bavaria. But f y far the richest depository is at lorissant, 30 miles west of Colorado Springs. Samuel Scuddef partially explored the region in 1890, since jsrhen no one touched it till Dr. Wheel- In* went there this summer. He was mpanied by Prof, and Mrs. Cocke- 11 of the University of Colorado. 5 The place they explored was an old ife.--- - • ' ; lake bottom ten miles long. Some hundreds of thousands' of years ago a tranquil, shallow lake lay there, steaming in a bed of dense vegetation, for the climate was then like that of Louisiana: All roumj. great volcanoes smoked and spit, and their ashes sift­ ed down into this lake. The ashes caught and held the in­ sects, and later discharges bedded the fossils in rock. This rock now pro­ trudes all over the old lake bed, masses of shale which can be split into sheets with ease© In between the leaves of shale are found the fossil insects, and they show that the insect tribe has been the most changeless of all types. Bees, beetles, spiders, flies, and ants which lived before man appeared on earth can all be instantly recognized and even their family told. Many ants are found* all of wh(ch must have fallen into the lake in the marriage flight, since the ant is a land Insect and the workers are wingless. Many specimens are so well pre­ served that they show even the hairs on the insect's body. The lake is full of fossilized sequoia also and fosril leaves and cones. Electoral Point 8ettled. In an opinion furnished to Secre­ tary of State Rose, Attorney General Stead holds that where a senatorial district lies partly within a city that has adopted the election commission­ ers act, there is no authority in law for the county board of review to pass upon an objection to senatorial nominations. The request for an opin­ ion followed the filing with Secretary of State Rose of objections to nomi­ nations made by the Republican par­ ty in the Thirteenth senatorial dis­ trict, in Cook county, and partly within the city of Chicago. The elce- tion commissioners instructed the voter to vote for three candidates and the primary convention ignored the election returns. According to the primary returns Benton F. Kleeman, a former legislator, and William T. Monroe, each received 68 instructed delegates and Edward C. Fitch re­ ceived 41 instructed delegates. The convention nominated. Fitch and Cor­ nelius J. Ton. Kle^rnkn filed the ob­ jection, but according to the opinion Of the attorney general his only re­ course lies in the supreme court. Talks for Improved Highways. A. N. Johnstm, chief engineer of the Illinois highway commission, spoke to the Tazewell County Farmers' Insti­ tute at Washington, 111., on the work of the commission and the improve­ ment of roadB. Auti-Horaethief Association. The annual meeting of the Illinois Antl-Horsethief association was held here. Reports showed an increase in membership and the arrest and con­ viction of a number of criminals dur­ ing the past year. Senator Culiom Improved. Some alarm was caused by reports regarding the condition of Senator Culiom, but there is little reason to believe that there has been any seri­ ous impairment of the senator's health. The senator, like many ano­ ther, caught cold while attending the state fair, owing to the miserable weather which prevailed. The prompt use of the old-fashioned remedies had the required effect, however, and the greatest inconvjepience he has suffer­ ed has arisen ffom the quinine. He Is able to be about town. « Begin Work on State House Roof. The work of re-roofing the state house has begun. The job in expected to occupy nearly two months to com plete and the feats of the workers will be extremely hazardous. The first work will be to erect a scaffold­ ing around the lantern of the dome. The large timbers, which are carried up with a block and tackle, appear when put in place not larger than toothpicks from the ground below. On windy days the work will be none too pleasant for the wen. »" •"»$; -*k y~... "" " ' ' Prison Board Makes Reply. The state board of prison industries made a vigorous reply to the attacks registered by the Chicago Federation of Labor, in* which charges were made that the present convict labor law was not being enforced. The board an­ nounced It had secured a statement of approval from Edwin R. Wright, one of the critics of the state officials. It is held by the prison board that "organized labor has not just grounds to complaint at A law which was passed it its behest, nor at the manner of Its enforcement." It is asserted, moreover, that the law is being car­ ried out to the letter. The charge made in the Federation of Labor that 40 per cent of the con­ victs were permitted to manufacture goods for sale in the open market is branded as untrue. Regarding the use of machinery, which was another criticism regis­ tered by the federation committee, it is said no more machinery or motive power than is permitted under the law is used in any of the penal insti­ tution ot, tile state. Amendment to Court Rules. The following amendment to its rules in regard to rehearings was adopted by the Illinois supreme court. "Where an opinion is filed and a pe­ tition for reeharing shall afterward be presented to any judge of the court, if such justice shall certify that, in his opinion the case should be fur­ ther considered by the court on such petition, all further proceedings in the cause shall be stayed until the next term of the court. If it is prac­ ticable to do so, such application shall be presented to the justice "who wrote the opinion in the case. Chief Justice Scott said that the rule sim­ ply embodies in written form, a prac­ tice that has been followed in the past. A large number of attorneys throughout the state were unfamiliar with this unwritten rule, and it was deeqied best to have it adopted as one of the regular rules of the court. No Relief -for Gas Thief, Final action was taken by the su- Pfeme court in the case of Isaac Woods, of Chicago, convicted of steal­ ing gas from the People's Gas Light and Coke company. He was sen­ tenced to an indefinite term in the penitentiary at Joliet. The case was appealed, it being alleged that Woods' crime was not a penitentiary offense, as the amount of the gas stolen was proved to be but $15. The supreme court sustained the decision that It was the continuous stealing of the gas which caused the offense t6 be a penitentiary crime. Pardon Denied Willie Kent. Willie Kent, sent to the Chester penitentiary from Macoupin county several years ago. for the murder of his brother, Noble Kent, will be com­ pelled to remain in prison for a longer period. His case was before the state board of pardons and was continued. Noble Kent was shot and killed by Willie Kent while he was in charge of an officer aboard a Chicago & Al­ ton train at Girard. Differences had existed between the brothers for sev­ eral years,- and Willie Kent asserted that his brother had attempted to kill him. Good Increase in Taxes. The final report of the Sangamon county board of review will show an increase of more than a million and a half dollars in the taxes of the county over that of last year. This is due to the vast amount of improvements that have been made. The board of review will complete its work within a few days, when a report of the taxes will be made to the state board of equalization. The time for filing com­ plaints has expired and the board is now engaged in making a summery. Says Company Owes Taxes. Special City Tax Counsel Edgar, of Chicago, asserts in a report to Corpor­ ation Counsel Lewis that the Pullman Car company has evaded paying $4,- 623,688 in taxes upon its surplus to the county and advises that steps be taken to begin mandamus proceedings to compel the taxing bodies to assess the surplus of $29,000,Q00 of the com­ pany for the present year and recover the back taxes upon the surplus for all previous years. Cold Weather Record Broken. October 9 was the coldest October day for this city since the weather bureau station was established here, 28 years ago. The maximum /Was 49 degrees and the minimum 39 degrees. Leaves Miners' Board. At a meetitng of the executive board of the Springfield sub-district of coal miners the resignation of James Burns, Jr., as president was accepted. Mr. Burns has succeeded his brother, Daniel Burns, as member of the state executive board, the latter having re­ signed. To fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of James Burns, Jr., the executive board advanced Vice President Daniel Clark of Springfield to the president's chair and A. J. Smith of Springfield was elected vice president. Question Legality of Contract. Members of the school board doubt the validity of the contract entered Into recently with the Springfield Coal association to furnish fuel to the public schools. The association has been declared dead by Attorney Gen­ eral Stead and the corporation coun­ sel will sbe asked to give an opinion as to whether or not the board has a right to transfer the contract to per­ sons in the former corporation. The question came up at the meeting of the board, when the bond was pre- dPged JUL The Making of a Combination Tele­ graph and Telephone Line. The accompanying diagram shows a system which I recently installed in Kansas for simultaneous telegraphy and telephony and which is giving as good results as could be had were they Home l/** /so jprmafy induction Batfc# button t Ground Wiring for Combination Telegraph aifd Telephone Line. entirely separate, says a Kansas cor­ respondent of Popular Mechanics. On account of its simplicity it can be mp.de by anyone formless than the cost of any standard telephone made. A word explaining its operation may prove useful. When receiver Is on the hook in Its normal position, the pushing of the button completes the circuit of six cells through an ordin­ ary buzzer, primary of induction coil back to the battery, thus giving an In­ terrupted direct current through this circuit and generating an induced alternating current in the secondary of the induction coll which passes out over the Hoe, actuates© the <!!*> phragms of all receivers and vibrating them in unison with the buzzer of the ringing telephone. Receivers la this way act as "howlers" in addition to their usual function. The condenser of course prevents the Morse current from reaching or working through the telephone to ground. The impedenee, or retarding coll, may be made by using one of the coils out of an ordinary Morse re­ lay (150 ohms), as its resistance is 75 ohms. Where Morae sets come between telephones on the line, both key and relay of the set should be completely bridged across with a con­ denser of small capacity. Where it is possible to use two telegraph wires and "make a metallic circuit, a one microfarad condenser on each side of telephone will serve the purpose of the two micro-farad condenser in diagram. , REAR LIGHT TELL-tAL#^' New Device Used In England by Mo» torlsts Proves Successful.

For loading such heavy articles as guns, boilers, machines, etc., the Dub­ lin port and docks board bas installed a powerful rotating tower crane, oper­ ated by electricity and dealing with normal working loads of 100 tons. The part that rotates consists of a ver­ tical crane post resting on a cylin­ drical bearing and supporting a hori­ zontal braced truss. The upper hori­ zontal thrust is borne by means of rollers on a ring bearing fixed to the trestle, surrounding the krane post. On the short arm of the horizontal truss are located the counterweight and the machine room, the latter housing the machinery for hoisting and for traversing the hoisting crab, which which runs on the long arm of the truss between the two side girders and is provided with auxiliary hoisting gear of 20 tons working capacity and 30 tons maximum carrying capacity. The motors for operating the hoists are of 60 and 40 british horsepower and the one for traveling the crab is of 30 british horsepower. The slew­ ing meqhanism is located on a plat­ form at the junction of the crane post and the truss, says the Electrical Re- vleSlr, London, and Is operated by a 15 bTltish horsepower motor. On an upper platform above the slewing gear is placed the driver's house, con­ taining the controllers and having a good view of the working field of the crane. The greatest height of the load hook of the crane above the quay wall is 70 feet; hoisting height, 100 feet; radius for 20 tons, 80 feet; for 160 tons, 75 feet. When fisting 150 tons the working speed is three feet per min­ ute, and when hoisting 20 tons, 20 feet per minute; speed of traveler, 28 feet; eight minutes are required for a com­ plete rotation. New Use for Electricity. The latest, and, It will be thought by many, one of the best uses to which electricity has been put is the destruc­ tion <of the mosquito. Maurice Chau- lln, of Paris, is the man who has thought of electrocuting this most ob- noxolus disturber of summer peace, says The Reader. He has devised and patented an apparatus with a cylin­ drical lantern with two rings, sus­ pended one above the other, and joined by parallel and vertical chains. These are connected with the source of electricity, which may be provided by a small accumulator in such a fash­ ion that each of these little chains Is always alive. In the center is some sort of a lamp that attracts those ardent lovers of luminosity, the mos­ quitoes and gnats. They touch the chains, and that instant is fatal to them. They are neatly "short-cir- cuited," and they buzz no more. They even forget what they meant by all their buzzing, or what occult reason they had for seeking the luminary. They are dead and done for.

"You feel it, too, do you?" -- Chicago "Riding the Goat" Electrically. The published report of the use of electric appliances in certain college initiations moves the Western Elec­ trician to condemn such proceedings unreservedly. It says editorially: "Ap­ plied electricity-has many uses, and they are important, but when it comes to using the electric current as a means of hazing or as an initiatory performance at a secret society meet­ ing, a foolish step has been taken, and it Is not improbable that serious re­ sults may ensue. Among some of the more unrestrained students belong­ ing to the upper class of one of our technical institutions recently It was felt that the old and tried methods of hazing were hardly adequate to the occasion, so several under-classmen were subjected to strong electric cur­ rents until they became exhausted. Such hazardous tomfoolery;; 4MI ' this should be suppressed." Dieting of Athletes. "The English press," says Shipping Illustrated, "have been commenting upon alleged improvement of the Cam­ bridge crew through a diet consisting largely of eggs. This would not do for every one. In notable contrast is the efficiency of the New Zealand football team, every man an athlete, but who exercised no training nor any special diet. ...
