to tho honest, efficient and courteous
performance of duty. Some are addicted
to habits of intempcrsnce to euch an ex-

discourteous and oppressive in their con-
duct towards citizens who arc so unfort-

them, while others are accustomed to shirk
duty, arrive late at their stations when
they pretend to work, and frequently ab-
sent themselves altogether under the false
pretext of sickness; and again, others are
habitual borrowers of money from their
associates and persons transacting public

MINOR MATTERS.

Bill to Forbid street-Car Companies Taking
More Passengers Than C6n BE Seated.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. GA proposition has
been made in Congress relating to the con-
duct of street-cars in this city, which may
prove wholesome example 10 the organ
lied government In many cities. 1t Is pro-
posed to pass law fOrbidding the drivers
or conductors of street-cars to take on
more passengers than can be seated. If
more passengers are permitted to enter cars
than can be seated, the passengers may
either refuse to pay fare or institute dam
age proceedings The object is to compel
tho sreet-car companies to supply enough
cars to accommodate the public.
Should this proposition become q
law it would be sno real
hardship for the companies. for they have
an enormous fortune III their franchises,
which enable them to pay dividends two OF
three times as large as other judicious in
vestments yield. 1t is simply a question
now whether the street-car companies can
SO influence Congress as TO defeat tho
measure introduced In the interest of the
public. The corporations have not, how
ever. been successful In defeating legisla-
tion. for during the last session bill was
passed providing that the horse-car lines
should be converted into cable within
twenty y-lOuT mOutues anu many ulfll1OOS

out of what was the slow and poor trans
portation by horses.

ter jamb has an interest of its own, as
IL was taken from one of the original
mantel-pieces at Blenheim Palace; the
pure, severe lines of the bold half-relief
sculptured figures are neither con-
cealed nor half-hidden by draperies, an
innovation too often adopted with
out satisfactory results. Above

antique mirror framed in

Etinnette of scnrf Pins.

There is an etiquette in scarf pins
that must be learned. In the big, ir-
regular scarfs pin is absolutely neces-
sary. The big, made-up scarf must
also have the pin. In the settled De
Joinville the scarf pin should pierce the
cross folds at the intersection. No
matter how irregular the fold, the head
of the pin must appear in the center of
the scarfing. For the scarf pin must
appear to be doing some service to be
correct. With the regulation Teck,
which is palpably made up, no pin can
be worn, as it would appear useless,
and therefore in bad taste. The four
in-hand tied in this form needs the pin
right in the middle of the tie at the
lower end of the cross fold-and there
it should be placed. A Windsor tie or
cravat must never have any iewelry.

THE LATE CARDINAL.
HE WAS A FRIEND TO THE
WHOLE HUMAN RACE.
Why He Forsook Professionalism and
Joined the Church of Rome-His Early
Devotion to ReIigion-Looked at Re
Iiglon From Broad Standpoint.

If one were asked at any time within
the last half century to name the most
widely known man next to Mr.. Glad
stone and the most striking figure in all
England, that man would have been
the great prelate who has just died,
Cardinal Manning. And if it were
asked who stood highest in the hearts
of all the people, irrespective of relig-
ious belief, the reply within recent
years would have coupled his with that
of the other English convert to cathol-
icism, Cardinal Newman. An Amer
lean who heard him preach in 1890 thus
describes the scene:
ut is Sunday at London. We are in
the pro-cathedral at Kensington and
Cardinal Manning is to preach. The
church is crowded to its utmost capac-
ity. The cardinal, attended by two
young priests, stands in the pulpit clad
in full canonicals. The thick, heavy
vestments, embroidered from top to

elared that the time was near at hand
when Rome once more would hold Eng
land under her power. In 1865 DR..
Manning was consecrated archbishop
of Westminster in succession of DIR.
Wiseman, deceased, and in 1875 he re-
ceived the cardinals hat
1t was when the spiritual grace Of
baptism was denied and this view pro-
nounced to be tenable within the
church Of England that Manning, with
many others, felt the very ground on
which he stood cut from under him. If
the church of England denied sacra-
mental grace this was his position,
there was no where to turn but to the
church of Rome, however impossible
this seemed to him when little while
before he had uttered that fiery denun-
citation of the pope and .popery'' at the
University of Oxford. Immediately
after the Gorham Judgment was pro-
nounced Archdeacon Manning shook
from his feet the dust of an heretical
church to join that towards which he
had been olong unconsciously advance
ing.
His marriage to Miss Sergeant took
place in 1894, while he was archdeacon
of Chichester. Mrs. Manning was
most lovable woman and he was most
deyotedly attached to her. Her death
shortly after their marriage was a
heavy blow to him and he'd perma-
nent effect upon his mind and methods
of thought.
Notwithstanding his devout catholi-
| cism the cardinal looked at religion from
broad and liberal standpoint As
result of nearly sixty years Of active re-
| ligious life he expressed the belief that
faith and religion have enormously
risen and expanded, dating from the
time of John Wesley in the last century,
! which was the lowest and basest relig-
ious condition Of England. Religion
! had steadily declined since the time of
Elizabeth until about 1850. The reac-
ton of Wesley and those following him,
both within and without the established
/ church. has restored the fragmentary
| Christianity which remained. There
is certain development of rationalism
among small number of educated,
! and he very smilingly added. .sfor
the most part idle people. There is
also much free thought which appears
to me to be irrational rationalism, or"
and here his eminence fairly laughed,
'or reason run to seed. There is also
an immence amount of apathetic non
belief in the material mind of the
middle classes, good deal of acute
skepticism among the educa I'd artisan,
and sad amount of of spiritual igno-
rance in the mass of the overworked
population. But do not account this
to be unbelief When the truth is put
before them they receive it with joy ]

oAMBETTA's HEART.
It Was Preserved and Rests In q Vault
Under His Monument.

Under His Monument.
Gambetta's heart now rests in vault
constructed under the monument which
has been erected to the memory of the
patriot at the entrance of the Jardies.
After Gambetta's tragic death, the
courts demanded post mortem exam
ination of the body. When it was done
Paul Bert, one of Gambetta's most in
innate friends, took possession of the
heart and put it for preservation in a
glass vase filed with alcohol. Bert
soon after left France for Tonquin, but
the precious keepsake remained
behind in the care of a trusty
friend. When Bert died, the heart was
turned over to his wife, who guarded it
scrupulously until it was placed in its
final rest. Before being bricked in the
monument of the Jardies, the vase was
put in a metal case enclosed in Golfer
made out of Alsatian wood. With il was
packed parchment attesting that the
heart contained in the vase is that of
Gambetta, preserved by his friend, NJ.
Paul Bert, and after his death kept by
Mime. Bert till the completion of the
monument raised to the memory Of the
great patriot by the Alsatians and
Lorralners.
