THE POPE AS WELL AS USUAL,
Reports that ne Had Been Assassinated
to the Contrary notwithstanding.

fBy Angio-Amerlcan cable TO The Dispatch.]
RoME. January 1.--Some surprise has
been occasioned here by the receipt OF ca
bile dispatches from Montreal and other
places in Canada and the United States in
auiring as to the truth of Tumor In cir
culation in that part OF the world that the
Pope had been assassinated. II is sunknown
here how the rumor originated, for 1t GER
tainly had no basis in truth. The Pope IS
enioying his usual health, and no attempt
whatever has been made to assassinate
him or 10 inflict any injury upon him;
The whole story IS a canard. and IS laughed
al by the Vatican officials as the work OF
some sensationalist on the other side OF
the ocean.

or inaugurating any other sci enc help
us out. The fact is. we're oil here all by
ourselves and have got to do the best We
can for ourselves. And so We are going
to do it. Let the Union Pacific build to
Deep Creek, and on to japan if they
want to. While they are getting square
meal, the R. G. w. people will get a
hand.out, anyhow, as they did at Tintic,
and build branch from Tintic to Deep
Creek. Then, while the r. G. w. is
opening up a new traffic coal, iron, sui
pher, silver and lead ores. let the U. 2.
people lay the st ,el on their unfinished
grade, aud come in for the crumbs, if
there are any. But they needn't expect
to follow the R. G. W. through to the
coast.
What We need is not SC much a com
peting line uf railroad as another seaport
city to compete with San Francisco and
another line of railroad like the X. G.
w. to comIe.e with the r.. p, whose
capital binds San Francisco and whose
fangs are fastened on our people.
Such road and such a con-
nection would do Salt Lake and
consequently the inter mountain region
more good than the Deep Creek road as
the ultimate object Of starting and build
in such a road is not only to open up the
Deep Geek country (which by the way
will be long time in causing as many
dollars to flow into Salt Lake as Phoebe
has) but to extend ths road to the Coast
and secure competing line A line can
be secured via. Phoebe and southern
sea port that will be of vastly more i'm.
portance to them than any connection
that could be made with San Francisco.

No Illitarates In Bavaria.

According to the late military statis-
tics there are no illiterate persons in
Bavaria. Among AREA recruits enlisted
in the army in the Palatinate there
were only three individuals who could
not read or write. But that district
forms no exception to the rule. The
general number of recruits from the en-
tire population was 20,5s4, and among
them were only six illiterate persons.
OF the three illiteratesof the Palatinate
one came from Lower Bavaria,and two
from Upper Franconia. Oberpfolz,
Central Franconia, Lower Franconia
and Swaben did not get q single litter
ate into the army.

Tie past week has been the occasion
of forever settling championship honors
with two men, Cardiff and Bowen both
of whom met defeat at the hands of
good men, the first named being defeated
by Joe McAul,ffe in fifteen rounds, and
Bowen by Gibbons after hard and stub
born fight of forty eight rounds. Cardiff
and McAulliffe met at the California
Athletic Club on the Goth. Of December
for purse of $500 dollars. The Cal.
ifornian out classcd Cardiff all through
the fight. B tn men were in good con.
dition Mac weing 2l0 pounds and Cardiff
100.
McAullif!e should now be given o
chance to redeem his laurels which he
lost at the hands Of Jackson and Slavin
and efforts should be made to dring q
match about between Nc Aulliffe and
Goddard. This would be a rattling good
contest and think the California would
be the winner.
