TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND. NOVEMBER, 11, 1906. 3 FRANCE OFFERS PEAGE TO CHURCH Leaves Way Open for Pope to Retreat From Extreme Attitude. PIUS PREPARES TO YIELD Given Another Year to Save Church Properly ' by Forming Associa tions Bishops Voted to Comply With Law. PARIS, Nov. 10. Unless the Vatican authorities cause some radical changes In the situation, the fears of a religious crisis resulting from the enforcement on December 11 of the law providing for the separation of church and state are re garded as dissipated In consequence of the middle course steered by the Clemen ceau cabinet. The extreme radicals under Mr. Combes and M. Pellctan, who Insisted that a policy of spoliation and persecution be inaugurated December 11, have been ap peased by the announcement that all church property not claimed by cultural associations on that date will pass under the control of the state for attribution to the communes at the end of the ensu ing year. On the other hand, the churches In the interim will remain at llir disposal of the clergy and a road for retreat Is left open to the Vatican by the admission of the possibility that church property can by state decree be granted to associations formed before December 11, 1907. The speech of Minister of Public Wor ship Brian yesterday explaining the gov ernment's Intentions, was extremely con ciliatory in tone and especially designed to make it plain that the government is not antl-rellgious. but only neutral. He inferred deferentially to the Pope's "moral authority," and completely dis armed the Clericals .by his intimate knowledge of what happened during the locent meeting of the French Bishops, when a rmajorlty of ten voted in favor of complying with the law. The Cham ber of Deputies by 376 to 98 votes ordered the speech to be placarded at the cross toads and throughout France. In view of the tremendous majority in suring Parliament's support, the cabinet has already received intimations that the Pope is preparing to accept the Inevitable, or that at any rate there will be another meeting of the episcopate shortly and tSiat its report, which will be concilia tory, will be confirmed. PICTUKE OP SOCIALIST STATE Trench Minister's Speech Causes Conservatives to Curse Him. PARIS. Nov. 10. Minister of Labor Vivianl's speech in the Chamber of Depu ties, in which he painted a picture of the new Socialistic regime at which France is aiming, continues to attract the ap plause of the Socialist press and the exe crations of the Conservatives. M. Viviani declared that stars In the heavens which are extinguished were never relighted, and that, as compensation for the de struction of the hope of a future life, for which men's minds had finally been emancipated, their happiness on earth must be Increased. Dike M. Jaures, he declared that this could only be accom plished by the ultimate suppression of private property, which would put an end to the exploitation of one class by another and permit all to share in the riches of production. Pope Will Xot Change Position. ROME. Nov. 10. The speech of the Fronch Minister of Public Instruction and Worship, M. Brland, outlining his government's policy toward the Cato olic church In France, has not created much of an impression at the Vatican, as just such an attitude as outlined by M. Brland has been anticipated. It Is stated that the church will not re cede from the ground it has taken, but will leave the vindication of its rights to the. wisdom of Frenchmen.

MATTEUCCI STILL THERE Famous Scientist Who Keeps Watch on Mountain Explains to Fright ened Villagers That Lip of Volcano Has Fallen In. NAPLES. Nov. 10. At noon tday Mount Vesuvius and the surrounding villages were shaken up by a kind of earthquake, which was accompanied by detonations and followed by a considerable fall of ashes, especially over Ottajano. which was destroyed (Turing the eruption of last April and is now in course of reconstruc tion.

Thus far Naples lias not been affected by the eruption, al though a dark column of smoke can be seen from this city hovering over the crater. Professor Matteucci, director of the royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius, in an interview with the Associated Press, said : "I do not believe this is a new erup tion, as all the phenomena preceding such an event are lacking. I think the rain of ashes was caused by the slipping down of the superior lip of the crater and that the earth tremblings were due to water from the recent heavy rains having reached the fire zone inside the volcano, producing an internal explosion.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 10. (Special.) A book written by a Swedish officer of tho general staff has created quite a sensation here, expressing as it does the general feeling In the Swedish army. The author pronounces the opinion that the dissolution of the union be tween Sweden and Norway was only the prologue of a g.-eat historic drama which will be played when the present crown prince of Sweden shall have be come king. Sweden will, he says, build naval stations on the western coast of the kingdom against the protest of Norway, which at last declares war after having prepared for it for. years. Sweden has, however, also been active and Is ready to fight. The war opens with a naval battlo of Gothenburg, in which Swedish sub marines destroy Norway's vessels and the remnant of the Norwegian squad ron is driven back to Christiana and makes a sortie but is bottled up in the Fjord of Christiana, On land the Norwegians are victori ous at first, invade Sweden and are driven back across the frontier after hard fighting. Then Sweden calls out all her reserves and the Norwegians are defeated time and again, and at last Christiana is invested on all sides. Swedish bluejackets in submarines sacrifice their lives and clear the fjord of mines, the larger vessels steam up and destroy the entire Norwegian navy in sight of the capital. Christiana ca pitulates and the Swedish colors are hoisted over Akershus. The book, has created much bitter feeling in Norway and it has helped only little that the author is said to have been esverely reprimanded by King Oscar. The official organ of the Swedish Government says of the book: "Wo had our reckoning with Norway In 1905. Whether we like it or not. It is more than bad taste, it is criminal of a. Swedish officer to give the world the Rl impression that Sweden Is thirsting for revenge." BONES TESTIFY IN WILL CASE Skeletons of John Sullivan's Rela tives Exhumed at Cork. DUBLIN, Nov. 10.

ORDER COUNTESS TO PROVE Specific Evidence of Her Charges Means Social Ostracism In Paris and Count Hopes to Make Her Pay Debts. PARIS. Now 10. (Special.) Unless signs fail. Count Boni de Castellane has succeeded in swinging the French courts his way and, when the verdict Is an nounced on the suit of his wife, formerly Anna Gould, of New York, on Thursday, it will not be a decree of divorce, but rather will be an order for the appoint ment of a commission to inquire into the allegation made on behalf of her. When M. Bonnet, attorney for the Count, raised the point that the allega tions made against the Count could not be considered unless specific cases were proven, he threw a bomb into the camp of the applicant for divorce that is likely to be 'far-reaching. He Is now being backed by his creditors, who claim that he, by insisting that the Countess prove her charges, will compel her to withdraw her application for divorce, ' pay his debts and consent to a separation on terms that will be most advantageous to her noble spouse. They argue that neither the Countess nor her attorneys can take chances of complete ostracism by telling all they assume to know and will settle rather than make good on the proof that they have now at hand. The Countess and her attorneys have felt very confident that she would get hei- divorce, and the rumor that an in quiry had been decided upon, which is only a rumor, but is well authenticated. Is a decided disappointment. On the other hand, the Count's lawyers are jubi lant, feeling that they have won their case already; Pope Pleased With Americans. ROME. Nov. 10.

' COSTS NOTHING TO TRY. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our dally dose of sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall. It was the universal Spring and Fall "blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quan tity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and experi ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul phur acts directly on the liver and ex cretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every Spring and Fall, but the crudity and Impurity of ordinary flowers of sul phur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is un doubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. Wilkins. while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria. I have been surprised at the results ob tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disap pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal cium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for con stipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin diseases as this remedy. At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood "puri fiers'" will find in Stuart's Calcium Waf ers, a far safer, more palatablo and effective preparation.
