Two or three weeks ago three young
men. each having over $1,000 in cash.
left Pittsburg for Africa to explore.
About a dozen letters have been re-
ceived from boys referring to this Incl
dent and asking for advice or informa-
ton. Had the three young men set out
for an idiot asylum. calculating to ask
to be taken in and cared for during the
remainder Of their lives, they would
have exhibited more common sense.

than to set out on such an expedition
ought to have a guardian. and that
guardian ought to have legal permission

The Growth of London,

We are too frequently disposed to
think of the rapid growth of our Ameri-
can cities as merely incidental to the
settlement of Il new country, and to re-
gard the European cities as old and sta
tlonary. 1t is true that their nuclei are
ancient. but so far as the greater part of
their built up area is concerned they are
almost or quite as new as the American
cities. They, like our own population
centers, have grown unprecedentedly in
recent decades as the result of modern
transportation and industrial systems.
Thus London today is five times as large
as it was at the opening of the present
century. From 100000 at that time the
population of London grew to 1000. 900
III 1880, and by 1866 it had increased to
2,500,000 Since 1866 it has more than
doubled
The present sovereign has witnessed
gain of 200 per cent. or more since she
began to reign. There are three or four
dwelling houses now for every one that
was visible at the date of her corona
ton. In the past forty years from
1900 to $500 miles Of new streets have
been formed il London. Who, study
ing the growth Of foreign cities, can
doubt the continued growth of our own?
London is not an exception. All the
other great towns of England have
grown up as if by magic within this
century.
The same statement applies to those
of the continent. Paris is five times as
large as it was in the year 1900. Berlin
has grown much more rapidly than
Paris. Vienna has expanded marvel
ously since 1910. This is depression,
but | shall continue it enough further to
remark that an examination of the
causes which have built up these Euro
pean centers easily justiiies the judg-
ment that none Of our twenty leading
American cities has begun to approach
its maximum size.-Dr. Albert Shaw in

Who viii Se the Next Popeo

It is stated that the French and Span
ish cardinals are ccncerting for the NOM
ination Of Cardinal Zigliara as the sue
cessor to Leo XIII. The general feeling
is that ct the next conclave the election
of a foreign pope is inpracticable, the
only available non italian members of
the Sacred College being the Swiss Car
dinal Mermillod, and the American Car
dinGl Gibbons. It is not likely, how
ever. that either of these will emerge as
the successor of Leo XIII.

casbets. nearly all receptacles of sol

the removal is that the land whereon the
cemetery was located had been taken up
by settlers, who show a disposition t.
level the graves and plant their seed
over the remains. Uncle Sans guard
ians didn't relish this idea, and ience
the transfer. The Fourth cavalry, with

Boston Wants to Come Nearer.

1t is gratifying to observe that the
business men of Boston are disposed to
make an active effort to secure quicker
tiiac by rail between this city and New
lc"t The members Of the Executive
RG5iaess association have discussed the
question and have come to TIE very sen
sihlc conclusion that the public interests
of the city demand a better service. and
that sUch n service can be secured
''"ithout prejudice to the interests of
the railroads connecting the two cities. :"
No GIe who has studied the conditions
involved. and who knows of how much
the modern railway is capable, will doubt
this. A new line would probably not be
q profitable enterprise, but it is within
the power of the existing lines to reduce
the time of the journey by express trains
from six hours to five. and there is TO
sufficient reason for delaying to do so.-

Boston, February l0.-The story Of
Siberian horrors which appeared yes

Joseph NJ. Morris, who was captured In
Behring sea by the Russian govern
ment and imprisoned three years In a
mine, has made a stir in this city. Mr..
John Baker OF the adiutsut generals
office at the state house, himself Rus
sian, Baker being an assumed name,
says that Captain Morris story bears on
its face every evidence OF truth. The
only marvellous thing about il, in Mr.
Bakers opinion, is the fact that he was
permitted TO return from that country
to a land of civilization whence his
wrongs could be told TO the whole
world. Mr.. Baker is a fugitive from
Russian injustice and knows from expe-

president OF the confederate states, was
confined after his capture by the union
forces. In a recent published story Of

him with brutal force, keeping
him in vermin infested cell,
Withholding his clothes and

even OF his hair, when he had it cut.

Philadelphia. February l0.-Arch-
bishop Ryan, accompanied by Cardinal
Gibbons, Bishop Keane and other emi-
nent divines Of the Catholic church,
will leave the city to-day TO attend the
ceremony OF profession Of Miss Kate
Drexel who will take her final VOWS in
the Convent Of Mercy, Pittsburg, on
Thursday and devote her life and i'm
mense fortune OF over seven million
dollars to the moral and intellectual ele-
walton OF the colored race. Miss DreXel
is the daughter Of the late Francis A.
Drexel OF Drexel & Co., the well known
bankers Of this city. About two years
ago she entered the convent at Pitts
burg and after years preparation re-
ceived the white veil and the religious
name Of Sister Catherine. According
70 the rules OF the order she was placed
on probation for another year, leaving
her the privilege of returning TO the
world If she did not feel happy and
think herself able TO undergo the hard
ships and modification Of the religious
life During her trial Miss Drexel has
felt perfectly happy and has been most
exact in Observing all the rules OF the
order
About six months ago she conceived
the idea OF founding an order whose
sole work should be to teach the Indian
and negro. Recently she wrote the
rules OF the new order and forwarded a
copy OF the same TO Rome where they
met with the approval OF the pope and
the college of cardinals. The name OF
the new order is "The Sisters OF the
Blessed Sacrament and the mother
house will be a few miles outside OF
Philadelphia. Attached TO it will be
the novitiate, where the young sisters
will lie trained for their future duties IN
teaching and administering to negroes
and Indians. The property on which
the main institution is TO be built in
cludes six acres Of land. The main
building will have frontage Of 200 feet
with square tower on the eastern end,
surmounted by a large cross. Two
wings, each about 40 by l20 feet, will
extend north from the main building.
A wall will connect these two wings
and form a court, which will serve as a
cloister The institution will be called
the Elizabeth house and work will be
begun on IL next month.
Miss Drexel was IN Washington few
days ago consulting with the interior
with respect to the estab-
OF Indian schools at Pine

future will be its superior. Archbishop |

Decided Against the clubs,

st. Louis, February lO.-The court OF
appeals to-day rendered an important
decision with regard TO the rights OF
clubs to sell liquor without a license.
The case was that Of the state against
the Bacon club Of Neosho, Mo, the
judgment OF the lower court ousting the
club from its premises being sustained.
This will likely close up hundreds OF
similar institutions in the state, most
Of which were organized for the express
purpose Of evading the liquor law, it
being the general belief that a private
club could sell liquor to its own mem
bers without a license from the city
