The Pope Not Very strong Now.

Father D. w. Carrigan, of ST. Paul,
Father Alfred Becker and Henry Lough-
man, of Window, Mimi. were on the linn
tied last evening, going home from Europe.
Mr.. Carrigan said they had an audience
with the Pope. He doesn't think the head
of the Church can live much longer He
says his hands are so thin that one can al
most look through them. The Pope is not
able to take the requisite nourishment.
Those in the lead for the succession are
Cardinals Monaco and Parocchi. The lat
ter is considered dangerous man, as he be-
lieves in force to recover the Church's prop
erty confscated by Victor Emanuel.

Mayor Gourley, when asked about the mat

To the patrons of the two roads is the
scarcity of cars. Complaints have come
from many that there is an insufficient num-
i,er of cars on both lines. so that even at
hours when there is lightest traffic passen-
gers are uncomfortable crowded. A good
deal of indignation has been expressed at
the lack of accommodations of this kind.
G. Aufrecht yesterday won his suit for
3 cents against the pittsburg Traction Com
pany The case was heard by Alderman
Reilly. Aufrecht got on a ear TO go to The
Fast End. After paving his fare he con-
rluded TO 90 into the front car for a smoke.
The conductor told him he would not be
charged another fare. So when the next
stop was made he got off and went TO the
front car The conductor then insisted on
having his fare. Aufrecht protested, but
finally had to pay the additional fare. He
sued to recover the amount in order to have
the question settled. The Alderman de-
cided for the plaintiff and put the costs on
ihe company.

RIFLING THE STORES.
The Holiday Season Opens the Field
for Shoplifters.
TWO WOMEN NABBED YESTERDAY,
Extra Precautions Taken by the Police to
Stop This.
GREAT CROWDS OF PURCHASERS OUT

The approach of Christmas and the conse-
quent crowds in stores have put the police on
the watch for shoplifters. Two were dis
covered yesterday afternoon at Joseph
Horne & Co.'S Penn avenue store,
and arrested bv Special Officer
Richardson. At Central station they
gave their names as Mrs. Margaret Cransher
and Miss Sarah Condor, sisters, living at
No. 80 Beaver avenue, Allegheny. The
stolen goods, pattern of seven yards, was
found in Mrs. Cransher's jacket. Neither
woman had a word to say in defense of the
act The husband appeared at Superin-
tendent Weir's office last night to inquire
into the matter. He is cripple and bears
a good reputation. and keeps a saloon on
Beaver avenue. He was very much s1r-
prised at his wife's action, and said there
was no necessity to take anything that did
not belong to her.
The women will be given a. hearing this
morning Assistant Superintendent O'Mara
does not think the women are shoplifters,
but only fell into the error of many other
women because of the easy chance. He
thinks it is case in which opportunity
makes the thief
Hugus & Hacke reported the loss of a
piece of silk by shoplifters yesterday morn
ing, the first report OF the kind coming to
the police department this fall. The thieves
were not apprehended.
Yesterday the crowds on streets and in
stores were as large as are usually seen on
Saturday afternoons. 1t was practically
the beginning of the holiday rush. During
the greater part of this and four days of
next week the rush will grow steadily.
Unusual precautions have been made by
the department this'year to guard against
holiday thieves. Ten special officers have
been placed in as many downtown dry
goods, jewelry, toy and other stores, and
will be kept on duty until after Christmas.
They are not in uniform, and walk about
the store like an employe, minus hat and
overcoat, and as far as possible take ON the
air of clerks.

his purchase, as may be determined, with
stout barb wire fence.
Yesterday some persons having occasion
to go to the island made short work of the
wire and the route is again open to the
world. The McCabes claim that they did not
sell the road to jolly and probably could
not if they wished, as it has been used as

Sad Experience of Striking BrickIayer

Sau experience OF d Str1ktny bflcREty
Joseph McCalley, one of the striking
bricklayers, is an inmate of the insane de-
partment of the West Penn Hospital, his
insanity being supposed to result from the
death of his wife and child and his long e1-
perience on the strike. McCalley's home is
in Allegheny. His wife died soon after the
strike began last May. A few weeks ago
his little daughter followed her mother.
McCalley has seemed to have lost interest
in everything since then. Though always
quiet and keeping his troubles to himself
he has been particularly uncommunicative
to his friends since the little girl died. At
the headquarters of the Bricklayers' Union
No. II Fifth avenue, the other day Mccall
ley suddenly fell to the floor writhing,
raving maniac. A dozen men were required
to hold him until the ambulance was called,
and he was conveyed to the hospital. The
physicians believe the attack is only TEN
porary.
