NO years ago,
! while spending

a couple of months in the mountains, i
spent two weeks at the home of Jim
wilkins, Il hCspitable young married
man, who had come TO Colorado fifteen
years before with his parents.
One evening, as We sat before the
huge fireplace, after supper, Jim's wife
said something to her husband about
the time he was buried, and she smiled
in such 4 queer way that my curiosity
was aroused at once.
What is that?" / asked. "Have you
ever been buried, Jim? Tell me about

YES. tell him." urged his wife, and,
thus adiured, Jim consented.

NAMING A MOUNTAIN,
a Suitable and Suggestive Name for q
Princely Peak.

fiiScig TEAK
An English tourist in British Column
bia says that his unsophisticated and
conventional mind was captivated by
the freedom and heartiness of the
dwellers in that country The first
friend he made was a little girl about
five years old, who seemed to be living
Independently of her relatives" She
announced her name as Miss Jenny
Lorena Wells, and gave the stranger
many interesting details as to the life
and habits of her doll.
Our landlord, too, was exceedingly
hospitable and agreeable. BY way of
conversation we asked the name of the
mountain opposite the door, a peak SO
striking in its rugged magnifcence
that in Switzerland there would have
been two railways and a dozen hotels
planted on it. With p~rincely generos-
,ty he replied:
You can cal IL what you like.
Every outfit that comes along gives it
a new name, and I'll be shot if | can
remember what the last one was"
1t was gratifying to reflect that we
were now an outfit" but at that mo-
ment we could not think of an appro
pirate title for the mountain.
"A name occurred to us not long after.

quainted with one Of the peculiarities
OF British Columbian speech, namely,

What's the matter with skipping out
OF this first thing in the morning.
These and sundry other similar express
ions suggested to one of the company
a name for the nameless mountain,
and the world will be good enough to-
take notice that it is to be known
henceforth as the "What's-the-Matter

BLAINE REALLYDANCED
The Secretary Feels So Frisky That
he May Decide to
CONTEST WITH HARRISON At THE
Minneapolis Convention for the Republican NOmina-
hOn-It Is Said in Washington That Blaine Is
Party to All This Ant-HarriSOn BuSi-
ness and Ben VIII Call for Denial.
Special telegram to tie Register.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-The
next move in the Presidential game on
the Republican side is expected TO be an
open rupture between Harrison and
Blaine.
The talk Of an amicable arrangement
between the two is generally set down
as the veriest rot. No one doubts that
Harrison is eager for denomination,
thinks he has richly earned it and has
long expected to get it, His friends
have been very uneasy for the last ten
days about the revival Of the Blaine
boom and now that there seems
no longer room for doubt that
Blaine himself is party TO it, they are
very angry. There is good reason to
believe Harrison shows this feeling, and
ID is generally expected he will shortly
take means of letting Blaine know it in
unmistakable fashion. 1t is expected
that II Blaine does not speedily dis
avow the efforts making to put him in
the race again, he will have TO retire
from the Cabinet. Every day brings
fresh evidence that Blaine has been
persuaded 10 yield to the determined on
slaught of the anti-Harrison men, and
now tacitly allows it to be understood
he will accept if nominated at Mime
apolis.
The latest story is that Representa-
tive Abner Taylor, Of Chicago, called on
Mr.. Blaine for the purpose Of discover
ing for himself just how the Secretary
of State stood on the Presidential ques-
tion. Mr.. Taylor told Blaine the usual
story of the overwhelming demand for
him and the belief among Republicans
that he was the only man who could be
elected Mr.. Blaine is said to have re-
piled not at all as to the talk of his can
didacy, but branched off into discus
sion Of his wonderfully improved health.
He told how he attended dinner and
dancing party a few nights ago, and
that at 10 o'clock Mrs. Blaine came to
insist on his going home, but the Secre-
tary said he felt too frisky to go so early
and actually stayed and took part in the
dance.

tween here and the point of the wreck

ter Of the sleeper. The missing man is
a fireman of one Of the engines. 1t is

as they have all been removed to neigh
boring houses to have their wounds at
tended 10.
LArER-11 P. M.-Reports OF the Cot
ton Belt wreck are still meagre, as all
communication is cut off.
The list Of the dead and injured is

'BIG BILLIARD MATCH.
A Beautiful Game at the Central Mu-
sic Hail, Chicago.
IVES DEFEATS SLOSSON EASILY
Making 800 in Thirteen Innings, While His 0ppo-
nent Scored 4S8-SOms Very Fine Plays Made
BY Both Men-Ths Hall Packed With
People Interested in the Game.

CHICAGO, May 21.-The billiard match
between Slosson and Ives, 500 points, IA
lnchs balk line, tonight, attracted TO
the Central Music Hall, where the
match was played, an audience which
packed the spacious building from roof
To basement.
The game began at $50. Slosson won
the lead and in his first inning made l..
Then Ives ran up small score and in a
short time Slosson put together a score
OF 100 by really good play. Ives fol-
lowed with A., while Slosson kept on
with ?, 10, 6, and an occasional 0. Up
to 9:45 he had made no good score. Ives
by fair scores, the largest OF which was
63, made his total 240 against Slosson's s
I'll.
Later the play became more exciting
and interesting. Ives began TO lead,
and gradually his confidence returned.
In the ninth round he made some bril-
liant strokes, essaying a shot three
times across the table by which he
brought the balls to an anchor nurse,
rolling up fifty. Then he broke down
on an easy three-cushion shot.
The greatest stroke Of the evening up
to the time when the game was half
finished was one made by Ives in the
thirteenth inning. The balls lined up
straight across the cushion with the cue
ball at one end. Ives jumped the
nearer object ball, his opponents hit the
red and brought the two together,
making score OF l22.
Sosson played one remarkable kiss
shot which evoked rounds of applause.
In the eighth round he brought the
balls twice around the table and missed a
stroke for lack OF speed after score
of 81.
At 1880 the score was: Ives, 557;
Slosson, 46S. Ives won in the thir-
teenth inning 500 points. SlossOn had
but ASS.
Towards the close Ives made a spurt,
altogether outstripping his opponent.
With run of 76 and another Of l24,
he brought his total up to 757.
Slosson followed with spiritless ruH
of Z. Then Ives went in and finished
With an unfinished 43, making the 500.
The champion received soul stirring
ovation. He has broken the record for
averages, his being 2615.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Interviewed Upon the Attitude of Arch
blshop CorrIgan and the Jesuit Editors.


bishop COrrlgan aud the Jesuit Editors.
RoME, May 21.-Archbishop Ireland,
Of st. Paul, Mimi, in an interview to-
day declared that the Interpretation
which Archbishop Corrigan, the Jesuits
and the CiUiltG Cdttolica had placed
upon the papal decision on his plan for
the secularization OF paroehial schools,
as put In operation at Faribault and
saltwater, were utterly wrong and had
given umbrage TO the Vatican and the
propaganda.
He said: II regret that Archbishop
Corrigau fell into such a mistake. The
CjUiltd CGttOlicQ is in no way the organ
OF the Vatican. 1t only represents the
sentiments OF its Jesuit editors. The
statement that its articles are read at the
Vatican before being printed is silly
fiction. This is not the first time the
CiriltG CdttOlicd has misunderstood
official will and action, thus harming
itself and others"
Cardinal Ledochowski to-day for
mally, both verbally and in writing, re-
pudiateS these interpretations. He said
that no person or organ speaks for him
or the Propaganda but himfelf; that
the Faribault plan us allowed aud ap-
proved so far as the bishops arrange
mentS can be approved, and is per-
mitted in all cases where Independent
parish schools are maintained with diff
Guilty. No condemnation or censure
was uttered or intimated.
