THE POPE WON'T LEAVE ROME.

Cardinal Gibbons Says His Holiness Isn't
Coming to America.
BALTIMORE, March 22-In reference to the
remark Of Cardinal Parocehi, at a banquet In
Rome Tuesday, that if the Pope should find it
necessary to leave Europe at some future day,
he would receive an honorable hospitality from
the American Bishops, Cardinal Gibbons said
to-day that Cardinal Parocchi's expression was
no doubt meant as a tribute to the hospitable
spirit of the American bishops, clergy and
people.
"For," said Cardinal Gibbons, "there was
scarcely any foundation for the statement SO
often made, that the Pope would leave Rome.
The papacy is too intimately connected by past
associations and memorable events to make the
Popesremoval from Rome at all probable.4
The same reports were circulated as long ago
as the time of Archbishop Eccleston."

morning. One was the Wisconsin, of the
Guion Line, which arrived on Sandy Hook at

Ice Must be Kent Up.

Notwithstanding the considerable cold
weather which toward the close interrupted
the mildness of the winter, and which, at the
time, was reported to have made ice of average
thickness in the upper Hudson. the ice dealers
are already announcing that the shor tness of
the crop will compel them to increase the price
to so cents hundred pounds. A meeting of
ice dealers will shortly be held to determine
what the price will be this summer The short
age at Hudson and Newburgh is estimated at
65 per cent as compared with last years crop,
and the ice is also said to be of poor qualify.
From other gathering points come similar re-
ports. and there is not an ice dealer but pre-
diets dear summer for ice, If not famine.

Only 5000 for a Big Toe.

While David Czaeske, a barber, was passing
along Broadway, Brooklyn, in November, a keg
of beer fell from one of brewer William u
mer's wagons and crushed his big toe. At his
suit for 5000 damages. he claims that the aeei-
dent was due to the carelessness of the brewers
employees. and experts were called to show how
beer wagons should be loaded. They decided
that they should be so loaded that the kegs
wouldn't fall off. The jury gave the plaintiff
500, which seemed so little for big toe that
his attorneys offered to set the verdict aside
and take new trial. The offer was not ac-
cepted.

worrying themselves over the word to be

down to the use of plain English and call it

The negative recommendation on bill
in the Legislature to fix the weight of

indorsed by the Philadelphia Ledger be-
cause the act of 1871 fixed itat 2, 24O pounds.
But there is q harassing doubt in the
minds of coal consumers whether the act of
1871 fixed it so as to stay. The acts of the
coal dealers are sometimes alleged to have
taken about $40 pounds off the legal
standard.

The strength of the American Build
ing and Loan Association lies in the
fact that large proportion of its non-
borrowing members live in localities
where interest is low and money
abundant, and borrowing members
where wages and rents are high and
money scarce. This enables thesociety
The possibilities of this state of affairs,
taken in connection with the usual
sources of profit and advantage in CO.
operation, are almost too obvious to
note, and they conclusively demonstrate
the possible future for the society. The
American is doing the leading business
of it's kind in the United States, and is
fully equipped to maintain Its position
in the future.

If the New Buildings

Which are going up in st. Paul and
Minneapolis do not overdo the matter
of furnishing Offices for rent, there cer-
tainly will be such an abundance that
only the best will secure the most de-
sirable tenants. Formerly man when
renting all office was satisfied if he got
good clean walls and a sound floor.
Later it must be sufficiently heated, but
now no tenant will willingly occupy an
Office in which the heat is not properly
regulated, knowing that it is more es-
sential to the comfort and health than
any other appliance which can be intro
duced. A word to the wise is sufficient.

is fitted throughout by the johnson heat
regulating apparatus, which give, an

any attention from the occupants of the
