ROME, Sept. 23.-The presence in
Rome OF Monsignor Ferratta and the
happy augeries of the republican poll
cy of the Pope in France have raised
anew the question of a republican gov
erument in Italy, from the point of
view of Catholic interests and the po-
sition of the Pope.
The idea of republic grows among
the masses. Several prominent con-
sentative journals have pronounced
clearly for this change. In Rome it
self several well-known journals make
no secret of their marked preference
for the American system. In ecclesi-
tic spheres, as among the elite, people
look without fear upon the possible
advent of democratic republic.

THE SWEATING SYSTEM.
A Wretched Condition of Work People
in New Jersey.

NEWARK, N. j. Sept. 2S.-The Dep
uty Labor Inspector, Cullom, of the
State Bureau, has made report to
the Essex Trades Council regarding
his work among the factories of New
ark. He says one important matter is
the sweating system adopted by the
tenement house tailors which was the
subject of an important paper at the
Hartford convention. 1t was shown
that they work, eat and sleep in the
same room, working from 5 a. m. un-
til IL p. m. The Governor of a neigh
boring State sent two of his inspectors
to examine into the system and to
drive them out of the state.
They found that most of the houses
were owned by New Workers aud near
ly the whole output wac shipped to
John Wanamaker at Philadelphia.
They were driven out of New York and
number of them have located here.
There will be an effort made to induce
the next legislature to enact law pro-
hibiting the sweating house system.

UPSET THE PAPER TRADE.

A slight rise has already taken place
in the price of paper. The cholera
scare has upset the paper trade entire
ly. One of the articles, for which a
large sum of money is yearly expended
by paper manufacturers is bleach, and
this has come into such demand as a
disinfectant, that the price has been
about quadrupled. The Antietam
Paper Company of Hagerstowp, had
some seized for disinfectant before 1t
was put aboard vessel to be brought

Dr. H. II. Mudd, with two other ply

Mrs. Gilmore and her daughter, Min

His band has been one Of the chiei

Of his death.
The Knights of st. Patrick met anc
passed sesolutions of sorrow, commen-
datory of the great Irishman. The re-
mains were taken to New York for in
terment Sunday.
Gilmore's band was admitted to be
the leading musical organization of the
kind in the country. It's music was
anticipated at all celebrative gather
ings of importance. Under his lead
ership it went to Richmond, Va, in
1859, with the De Molay Encampment
Of Knights Tempar, to the demo.
cratic convention at Charleston, s.
c., in 1860, and afterward to the other
national conventions.

the service. He went to New Orleans,
where General Banks made him direc-
tor of the various musical organIza-
tions in that department. He institut-
ed series of brilliant free concerts for
the people Of New Orleans, and at the
Inauguration of the Governor of Louis
lana planned another monster concert.
For his services the people of New Or

cent goblet filed with gold coins.
In the work Of his whole life Patrick
Sarsfeld Gilmore showed himself the
musician of the people. He always
aimed to please and inspire the popu-

instructor. His concerts had an un-
doubted effect for the better on the
musical tastes of the country. With
his music he conferred happiness upon
thousands. He worked hard, studied
hard, fought his way to success by his
own efforts, and made himself memora-
bic in the musical history of the coun-
try.

The American Protective League Flops
Over Again.

The American Ir9IecClVe League lOpS
Over Again.
The American Fraternal Circle was
incorporated in 1886 and was run on
the same principal as the Iron Hall,
Shield of Honor and others, as a life
order. Subsequently the bond and ae-
cident features were added and the
present assignment is for the purpose
of abolishing these latter. The organi-
cation is intact, claimed to be perfect
lv solvent and will be continued as far
as the original obiect-life insurance
is concerned.
The recent failures of bond associ-
ations to make both ends meet have
decided the lodge officers in their pur-
pose to do away with that branch of
the order. This was voted upon at a
meeting of the supreme lodge Thurs
day night, and the step taken regard
ed as to their best interests. They
claim the accident department was not
paying and that the bond association
while it was solid might be affected by
the failure of so many others. There
we're AGO certificate holders and it's
claimed they will come out all right.

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Citizens on the Fortress Monroe Reser-
walton Ordered 10 Tear Down Their
Buildings.

FORTRESS MONROE, VA, Sept. %
The citizens residing on the Govern
ment reservation here have been
thrown into a state of great excitement
owing to the receipt of a general order
signed by the Secretary Of War per-
emptorily ordering that every house,
including the Hygeia and Chamber
lain's new hotel, be vacated within fif-
teen days from the time of the issuing
of the order, which is dated September
IA and further ordering the removal
and tearing down Of all buildings at
the owners expense.
The order is issued because of the
failure of citizens having residences
and hotels on the reservation to com
ply with the request from the Engi-
neer's Department that plansand speci-
fcations for a proper sewerage in the
citizens quarters at the fort behanded
in to the department.
There is from four to five million
dollars worth of property on the spot,
with great interests held by railroads
and other transportation companies.
Strong pressure will be brought upon
the Secretary to have him modify his
his order which, if carried out, would
be very disastrous to the whole vicini-
ty, including Norfolk, Hampton, New
port News, and other places.

THE DROUGHT.

The dry weather in some sections of
Western Maryland and West Virginia
is becoming alarming. In many
places the springs and small mountain
streams are dry and it is with great
difficulty that water can be obtained
for man or beast. The railroads
through the mountains are seriously
affected by the continuous drought.
At numerous points along their lines
the water tanks are empty and it is
impossible to get water for the engines
A great many lumber manufacturing
establishments have been compelled to
shut down for lack OF water. Mr.. d.
E. Offut, of Oakland, Md, who has
been running lumber mill on Yough
iogheny river for 26 years, reports
that this is the most serious droughti in
that time, and that in all those years
his mill was never closed for lack Of
water SO long as at the present time.

A BRIDE SUICIDES.
A Young Woman Takes Morphine
and Celebrates Her Birthday
Anniversary in Heaven.

A very sad suicidal death occurred this
morning at 100 o'clock at the boarding
house of Mrs. A. Spencer, 243 LATTE
street. The victim of her own TashneSs
was Mrs. Joseph Bennett, nee Miss Julia
Lane. At the supper table last night she
was seemingly happy and talKative.
About nine O'Clock however, she retired
saving she was tired and sleepy, when
she had lain down she called her husband
to her side for him to tell her good night.
As he kissed hes he made an awful dis
cOvery; she had taken morphine. He
accused her of the act but for sometime
she denied it. and told him not TO send for
a doctor as she had only taken a small
dose and it would not hurt her. She
grew worse, rapidly, however, and he be-
coming alarmed, reused Mrs. Spencer,
told her all. and then hurriet for phySi-
clan. DR.. Trollinger was at last found
and he Immediately repaired to the sick
room and did everything in his power to
restore the lady, who had lapSed into
unconSciousneSs, but without reward,
and at 80 o'clock she breathed her last.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett were married
about four months ago. Her father, Rev.
Mr.. Lane is minister of Liberty Hill
The young lady'S parents it seems were
unwilling for her to marry Bennett and
she ran away, met him in Austin, where
the wedding took place.
No cause is assigned for her rash ::ac'.
Her friends maintain that she never
took it with suicidal intent, but to scare
her husband. with whom it is said, she
has had several little quarrels of late.
Another reason given is that she took it
to relieve pain, as it is understood that
she has been under the treatment of ply
sicianS for some time.
She was young woman of many &C
cOmplshments, and a lovely disposition
Today is the twenty first anniversary oil
her birth. Her husband dearly loved hel
and today is unCOnSolabe. The body
will be laid in its final resting place this
