ANOTHER AMERICAN CARDINAL.
Archbishop Kendrick of st. Louis Said
to be Urged for the Honor.

Well authenticated reports have been re-
ceived in st. Louis from Boston that the Cath
Ole archbishops now in session in that city
will, before they adjourn. join in request to
the pope to confer the title of cardinal upon
Archbishop Kendrick of st. Louis on the occa-
sion OF his semi-centennial jubilee, which is to
be celebrated there some time next summer
At this celebration Cardinal Gibbons of Balti-
more will probably act as celebrant and Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia preach the ser
mon. There seems to be a general opinion
among high church dignitaries that the pope
will comply with this request

Defending the Kemmler Execution.

Before the annual convention of the
American society of microscopy last night, at
Detroit, DIR. George E. Fell of Buffalo, who
was present at the execution of Kemmler, read
a paper largely dealing with that event He
defended the utilization of electricity as u
means OF inficting the death penalty, and
SAID that in his opinion the death of Kemmler
was instantaneous on the application OF the
current. With regard to the movements of
the chest after the current had first been taken
of he said that there is plenty OF evidence
to show that respiration following heart arrest
has been kept up in individuals subjected to
powerful electric strokes for some time when
resuscitation was impossible.

The Census of Chicago.

Owing to the discrepancy in the official count
Of the city of Chicago as compared with the
school census, taken afterward, Mr.. Joseph
Medill of the Chicago Tribune has written to
Mr.. Porter, complaining that the government
census was inaccurate and inclosing a list Of
names that he claims we're omitted by the
enumerators. Mr.. Porter yesterday, in reply
TO Mr. Nedllfs letter, states that even if all the
names given had been omitted il would amount
TO but 400 Of one per cent Of the entire pop
ulation. He does not admit, however that the
names were omitted, but says that if all the
errors could be brought to light it would be
found that there were more Of addition than of
omission

War-Painted Indians Seize Camp.

Rat Portage (OntarIo) special says: The
steamer Thistle belongs to the Reid Fish COM
pany, and has just arrived from Buffalo bay,
Lake Of the Woods, and reports that band Of
Indians thirty strong, under Chiefs Pawwawson
and Falmouth, came and cut the nets, stole
the contents and foreibly took the provisions
of the camp. There were only seven whites
there, unaEmed. and the Indians were fully
armed and covered with war paint. The In
dams gave the Baltimore Packing Company five
days to get out everything. or there would be
trouble. The company has been in the habit
of giving the Indians the fish offal, but
stopped, and this is the primary cause Of the
trouble.

''Private" Aliens War Stories.

From the Galveston News.
Congressman Allen Of Mississippi never tires
of telling funny tales about the war. Here are
two: confederate soldier in a certain regi-
ment had become noted for running away from
every fight. On one occasion his captain found
him in line as an unexpected attack opened.
Standing behind him, the captain drew his pis-
tol and said:
'Now, John, up to this time you have run
from every fight You have dsgraced yourself
on all occasions. Now. if you stir from the
line this time 1 intend to shoot you dead 1
shall stand here right behind you and if you
start to run shall certainly kill you"
John heard the captain through, and. draw
ing himself up to an unusual height, replied
Wall captain. you may shoot me if you like,
but I'll never give any low-lived. low-down
Yankee the privilege OF doing It."
At Murfreesborough confederate soldier
was rushing to the rear with all the speed he
could command. An officer hailed him and
sneeringy inquired why he was running 80
fast away from the Yankees. The soldier,
without stopping. yelled back:
because | can't fly"

1.-The detestable habit of carrying umbrellas
horizontally led to a sad accident in Berlin

his arm. Bertha w., dress maker, eighteen
years OF age, walking along the sidewalk was
just on the point of passing by him, when,

Chas. ]. Bresnin of Springfield, Ohio, died in
Cincinnati Tuesday from heart trouble. He
went there to receive medical attention for a
remarkable physical popularity. His heart
was on the right side of his body and its pulsa-
tons could be plainly felt. The change in his
vital organs was due to an accident in early
youth, a heavy wagon running over his chest
and displacing the heart He was about
twenty-four years of age and connected with
some OF the wealthiest families in Springfield.

A Bishop Favors Dancing.

From the New York sun.
Speaking of dancing the bishop of Chester
recently said that he himself not being dane
ing man he left it to the archdeacons and the
junior clergy of the diocese. At the same time
he did not think it paid in the long run to fight
against it. Dancing was natural and was most
pleasant. His lordship also took occasion to
condemn the finicky fashion of shaking han DIS
as il is done now, with an awkward sort OF
touch instead of a strong and manly grip.
