seems intent on getting as much exer-
else as possible out of his walk. The
cardinal generally selects Il young man
TO accompany him.
1t Is said that the young priests OF the
city are not particularly glad when the
cardinal invites them for stroll. for
however enjoyable the walk may be to
the prelate it is fatiguing to his COM
panion. Though the cardinal is not a
large man his steps are aStoniShingly
long, and he seems never to get tired.
On the street the cardinal wears plain
black suit and a high hat, somewhat
antique i'll pattern and not oyerwhelm-
ingly brushed. He wears broad card
inal-colored scarf. and as that color is
somewhat out of fashion now il is pretty
easy for stranger to tell him on the
street. At the back of his head you can
also catch glimpse of the little red
Zucheite, a silk skull cap, which peeps
out from under his beaver. In these
walks he frequently makes calls on his
clergy and on his flock. He does not
stand on ceremony. Sometimes he
walks into house and finds the ladies
altogether unprepared for such dis
ttnguiShed visitor. Still he smiles be
nlgnly, unconscious of the havoc he has
played with the ladies' sense of pro-
priety.
Generally the cardinal so manages his
walks as to stop at st. Mary'S seminary,
on North Paca street. He has great
love for the old institution, at which he
was educated, and for the professors
who trained him for the priesthood.
During the summer months he gets a
rest 10y occasional visits to st. Charles
college, i'll Howard county, where he re-
celved his early education. The Sulpi-
tan Fathers control both these inStitu-
tons, and are very proud of the visits
of the prince of the church, whom they
once had under their charge. His
affection for them is shown in
many ways. They are among
his chief advisers. He gives them
the place of honor at all the grand GER
emonieS in the cathedral, and it is said
it was through his influence that they
were placed in charge of the theological
department of the new Catholic uniyer-
Sity that is to be built at Washington.
The cardinal likes to spend a week or
two at the sea shore, and when he does
go it is always to Cane May. He is said
to he quite an expert swimmer, but on
account of his delicate constitution he
cannot stay long in the water.
OF late he has spent more time than
usual in his study, and there is we'll
grounded report among his clergy that
he is going to make second venture in
the field of letters. His first work, 1.-THE
Faith of Our Fathers" had a larger sale
than any other Catholic work ever pub
lished in America. Its success could
not be due to his present eminent posi-
ton, for when it was published he was
only Bishop of Richmond. AS the car
dinal is master of vigorous English, a
learned man and one of the cleareSt and
most acute reaSonerS in the church,
there is little doubt that another work
from his pen will cause a sensation in
church circles, especially since he has
become the head of the Catholic hier-
archy. j. j. HOLLINS.

FORMING A POOL.
The Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk Roads Form a Pool


Trunk Roads Form a Pool.
New YORK, Feb. ga Montreal
special to the Post says: There are
rumors here that a pooling arrangement
is being made between the Canadian
Pacific and the Grand Trunk roads, and
a special cable dispatch from London
seems to bear this out, saying: "Sir
Henry Tyler's friendly references to
the Canadian Pacific at the Grand
Trunk meeting yesterday were the sub
Ject of comment IN city circles. A
sanguine hope is expressed that the
Canadian Pacific will be willing to enter
into a traffic agreement to obviate the
necessity of the Grand Trunks extern
sion west of the Sault. The Grand
Trunk share market was, however, de-
pressed, seemingly because of the all
sence of an expected sanguine state
ment of the Grand Trunks general
position" 1t is believed that the ne
gOtiatiOns have emanated from the
Grand Trunk, whose traffic receipts
have been falling Off at the rate of $50
GOO a week lately, while those of its
rivals are showing steady increase.

Ill fact more so than at any time in the

Metropolitan Bank Trouble.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25.-In the indict-
mentS against the president and vice
president of the Metropolitan bank,
there are but few counts under the
general charge of violating section 5,209
of the revised United States statutes at
large. The first count against William
Means. late president of the Metropol-
itan. alleges that OH Dec. Z, 1881, he made
false statement of the condition of the
bank to the comptroller of the treasury
The second count specifies false entry
in its exhibit of the assets of the bank.
The third count alleges that he caused
Assistant Cashier Frank r. Riegel to
make a false entry in the reserve ac-
count, showing it to be greater than it
really was. The fourth count charges
false entry in the cash book The fifth
and sixth counts charge perjury in
swearing that these exhibits and ac-
counts were true. All these and other
counts appear also against Vice Presi-
dent j. Il. De Camp.

Growing at the Cable.

To the Editor of the Globe. ~.
While riding on the grip-car lasteven-
ing was surprised to hear the con-
ductOr (when presented with quarter
from which to take one fare) domineef-
ingly request the passenger to bear in
mind that in the future he must carry
the festive nickel, so as to prevent any
delay or inconvenience OH the part Of
the conductor, as the poor, excited feI-:
low complained of his hands being cold.
What remark for fuIl-fedged con-
ductor!
l think, if the city railway company
were to adopt the bell punch system of
indicating the fares, instead of the an
cient full moon indicator, it would prove
beneficial both to conductor and COM
pany, as the present system is, in the
estimation of many, utterly absurd.
The indicator rope might easily be
yanked by a stranger as a means of
stopping the car, then what would be
the result? instant dismissal of the con-
ductor for knocking down." as it were.

Floods


Pox Epidemic The Great
Floods.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-Steamer
San Pablo arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama this MORNING. China papers
announce the death of Gideon Nye,
United States vice consul at Canton.
He was the oldest foreign resident in
China, having egone there in 1888. He
amasSed a fortune of about SS,000,000
and afterwards lost it all. At the time
OF his death he was writing history of
ChIna'S relations with foreign powers.
Smallpox continues to spread in Hong
Kong. About $50 deaths have occurred
during January. A few additional de-
tails are given of the second disaster at
Yellow river which occurred Dec. 4,
and resulted in the drowning of man
darinS and 1900 Chinese labOrers. The
men were at work at the time repairing
the damage caused by the previous
floods, and 1000 bamboo RATS had been
laden with stones in order to form
breakwater, but the RATS with all the
wOrkmen upon them were engulfed as
soon as they reached the middle of the
river. Great suffering is reported from
the flooded districts. Cold weather
came Oh and the whole country was
soon flooded over, making it impossible
for boats to reach the villages. In all
the large cities hutS have been erected
by the authorities for the accommoda-
ton of the sufferers. Between $4,000
and 10000 are being thus housed and
fed in the city of Chochiakin. The
whole country is a sad spectacle, and
stories of suffering and restitution
come from every direction. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000 stacks of millet stalks
will be needed to stop the great gap,
each stack requiring fifty large carts TO
bring it to the spot. SO far the utmost
eXertions have not succeeded in collect
ing more than thirty stacks day.
Eight million taelS have already been
expended on repairs.

BIOLOGISTS PUZZLED. :
Skeleton of a Huge and Unkn owl
Animal Found Near Alton, Hi.

ALTON, ILL.,. Feb. 4.-For some time
workmen in quarry near here have OBJ
served in the rocks at one point singu-
lar petrified bones. Biologists have
been greatly puzzled to know what sort
of a creature the animal had been, since
the age of the rocks in the quarry (St.
Louis iimestone) was generally sup
posed to be beyond the age of reptiles,
and as the fishes of that time had car
tilagenouS skeletons. Yesterday, after
a blast, more of the curious remains
were noticed. There was an enormous
jaw nearly two feet in length, filled
with sharp, pointed teeth. The jaw and
teeth are black and stand out in fine re-
lief from the white limestone. The
teeth are as thick as mans finger, five
OF six inches long, and fixed in a deep
socket in the jaw. Prof. McAdams, Of
this city, thinks the remains are the old
est yet known to biologists, believing
the creature was a monstrous batrach-
ian, or tailless amphibian, in shape not
very unlike huge frog.

prefers to pursue the even tenor of his
way and Ia devote his time, talent and

without attracting the attention of the

The cardinal practices what he
breaches. Though delicate and hard
worker. he observes Lent to the letter.
With the fathers OF his household he
sits down 10 his MONDAY meal, the only
full meal allowed; and so with all the
other regulations he sets the example of
a practical observance of the peuiten-
tial season.
While he i inclined TO be liberal in
views of life, he still holds that self
restraint and penanee, in proper pro-
portions. are good for both body and
soul. Quite number of Catholics, par
ticularly OF the upper classes, think the
Lenten regulations too severe. They
object TO fasting and to abstinence from
meat. Such regulations, they think, are
good enough for the mild climate of
Italy. where they originated, but they
are not suited to persons living in the
bracing atmosphere OH this side of the
Atlantic. You cannot fast and you
cannot do withOu meat here" say they,
but the cardinal says different.
