An English Authors Club.
QUEER CROWD SEEN DAILY IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM
READING-ROOM

QUEER CROWD SEEN DAILY IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM
READING-RooM.
London Letter to the Boston Transcript
If the recognized men who have made their
mark have no common place Of resort there is
still what might be fairly called an authors
club, which meets daily for hard work in the
reading-room Of the British museum. Here
you may see, any working day Of the year,
some three or four hundred scribes Of all types,
Of all sorts and conditions, from the fashion
able editor Of the PIccadilly Rerie,c to the last
unlucky genius who has come to set the Thames
on fire. It is the most democratic institution
of the kind In the world. Hospital for poor
poets and broken-down Underwriters; hunting
grounds for pedants and antiquarians and book
hunters Of whatever kind; refuge for Russian
nihilists and Indian reformers, for theosophists,
anarchists and incompatibles Of every order
no such collection OF men and women is to be
seen elsewhere; 1t is the epitome, in a word, of
literary London! Here are to be found no end
of obscure geniuses at work on those endless
magma opera which are some day. to cast
everything hitherto done into the shade. Here
also are gradually taking form and substance
those great regulations which in the next gem
Grafton will quite outshine the names popu-
larly received to-day.
Meanwhile some Of these potential leaders
of thought have rather hard time of it. Be-
hind the lines Of desks which, under the great
dome of the reading rooms, form the radii of
the immense circle whose circumference is
lined with books, many poor student sustains
his high ambitions in a half-starved body
Lucky for him that for ten hours every day the
museum reading room, with its warmth and
sufficient comfort, makes him a welcome
guest, whether he come in the garb of Philis-
tia or of Bohemia. And, indeed, some of the
costumes seen there are decidedly original, not
to say melancholy. II it were not cruel one
might sketch some strange fgures-some
comic, some very pathetic-from the motley,
silent crowd of workers, who, on these Decem-
Der days of fog, when the fog fills the great
dome with q dim cloud, out OF which CLEANS
mysteri0usly the five great electric globes, sit
there working SO devotsdly, hour after hour,
from morning till night.

Two West Virginia Syndicates.
RAILROAD TO BE OPENED AND EXTENSIVE CO..
LANDS TO BE DEVELOPED.

A RAILROAD TO BE OPENED AND EXTENSIVE COAL
LANDS TO BE DEVELOPED.
Ex-senator Camden, of West Virginia, an
nounced in Baltimore Sunday the completion
of negotiations for two big western syndicates.
He has been in Baltimore two weeks perfecting
the arrangements. The first is for building a
railroad in West Virginia, along the Mononga-
hela river, from Paramount to Clarksburg, a
distance of IS miles. Traffic arrangements
have been made with the Baltimore and Ohio.
The second syndicate will control and de-
velop $4,000 acres of coal lands, along which
runs the 9-foot vein of Pittsburg coke and gas
coal. The railroad runs along the Monongahela
river, and the coal property is near the railroad
route.

POPE LEO's PAINTING FIT.
Alarm at Rome Over His Depressed
Physical Condition.

Rome Special 10 the n Y Herald jan &C.
The popes health Is causing alarm. He hal
had serious at Of Inconsistencies, lastine
over half an hour. The college of cardinals il
prepared for eventualities. Pope Lee XII
will, if he lives, enter his sightieth year in 9
few weeks. His arduous labors during the
eleven years Of his occupation of the papa
chair have told severely upon his constitution
which was always frail. Throughout his life
he has been close student and during his res.
idence in the vatican he has taken no exercise
whatever beyond his daily walks in the gar
dens behind st. Peters. Last year he cele
brated the jubilee Of his elevation to the
priesthood. He received thousands Of visitors
from all parts Of the world, and was the re-
clpient OF many exceedingly valuable gifts
His health was poor throughout the year anc
during the past three.:months has been worse
At several times alarming rumors have beer
in circulation as to his health, but he ha,
always rallied from his attacks of indisposi
ton. Pope Leo is a very light eater and sleeps
very little. Most of his time, when not en-.
gagged in his pontifcal duties, is devoted to
meditation and prayer.
AFTER LEo-wHo?
The Philadelphia Times says: The news re.
ceived by cable of the serious illness of Pope
Leo XIII, is Of grave importance. In the
present disturbed state of European politics q
papal election just now would become Of more
than ordinary moment. Leo XIII was elected
to the papacy as a compromise. His predeces.
sor, Plus TX, especially during the later years
OF his reign, antagonized many Of the mos,
powerful elements Of the Roman Catholic
church, the great Society Of Jesus being among
their number. Leo, upon his election, changed
all this His policy has been vigorous yet con.
ciliatory; he has restored the papal authority
to an importance which, considering the diff.
culties to be overcome, has been little less
than marvellous. But he is an old man, and
the hand Of death is nearly upon him. Who
will be his successor2
OF the candidates prominently mentioned.
Cardinal Rampoli is at present the most for.
midable. He Ia friendly both with the Italian
people and the foreign powers. The English
Roman Catholics, since the lamentable mental
affiiction to their chief, Cardinal Howard, have
no candidate Of their race to offer. The cues.
ton of an American cardinal being pope is too
absurd to be considered. An Italian It mus,
be. and progressive Italian at that In the
case OF war between France and Italy, still
further complications would arise. The eldes,
daughter of the church for the time, would be
in the position of an enemy. and the French
cardinals, though at present powerful enough,
could no longer be considered in the question.
The Italians could never permit a stranger, "a
say nothing Of an enemy, to hold the keys OF
Peter. The same result would apply to the
other outside nations of Europe. However, in
the papacy, probably more than in any other
institution, the old rule that the unexpected
always happens has been long the fact.

Horsef1esh IA Food.

NO BEABONABLB FOUNDATION FOR THE PREJUDICE
EXISTING AGAINST EQUINE BEEF.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
There is undoubtedly widespread prejudice,
especially among English-speaking people,
against the use Of horseAesh for food; but this
prejudice has no reasonable foundation and il
by mo means universal. Nations of such widely
different degrees of civilization Is the French
and the Tartars have long attested its merits
and set the example Of eating it, A Tartar or
q Turcoman Of Central Asia will not look at any
other food il he can get horse, and the hearth
ness with which he consumes his favorite meat
is borne witness to by travellers In descriptions
which challenge credulity.
The methods Of cookery in vogue among the
Central Asian nomads would not, Of course,
commend themselves to western appetites, nor
- 1t claimed that Tartar taste lie q standard for
all nations to adopt. But the French have es.
tablished the laws Of cookery by which all civ
ilised people are governed, and their practical
endorsement Of horse6esh a food carries
weight. II the Philadelphia experiment es.
tablishes that twenty-year-old horse is better
eating than beef, 1t 10 q pity that old horses
that are past their work should not be eaten.
