THE POPE'S SUPREMACY.
Cardinal Gibbons speaks to an Immense
Audience at Baltimore.

Audience at Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 2O.-Cardinal Gibbons.
all the priests attached to the cathedral,
Rev. DR.. Magnien and all the Sulpician
Fathers and seminarians in the seminary
OF st. Mary OF st. Sulpice, with an inn
mense congregation, united yesterday in
the cathedral in the service OF solemn
high mass, In celebration of the Pope's ell
ovation to the episcopate fifty years ago.
Cardinal Gibbons preached the sermon.
His theme was the supremacy of the Pope
Among other things he said:
"The name OF the Pope Is indelibly
marked on every page of ecclesiastical his
tory. The sovereign pontiff ever stands be-
fore us as commander in chief in the grand
army of the church. You might as well
shut out the light of day and the air OF
heaven from your daily walk as to exclude
the Pope from his legitimate sphere in the
hierarchy of the church.
"The supremacy Of the Pope has been
denied by men who chafed under the sa-
lutary discipline of the church. But David
did not cease to be king after Absalom
sought to dethrone him. A yearning has
gone forth from many noble and earnest
hearts for the union of Christendom.
81 would make any sacrifice, even OF life
Itself, Tor the contamination of such
blessing. The American people, with
their practical good sense and energetic
dispositions, aided by the grace OF God,
IL all united in a common bond of faith
and charity, would convert the world.
"But there can be only one secure basis
for this union-the recognition of Peter
and his successors as the centre OF spirit
ual authority. May the day be hastened
when we shall all worship at the same
altar.
"Let US pray for the illustrious pontiff.
Leo XIII, who has left the impress of
character upon almost every nation OF the
civilized world; who sympathizes with
the peoples legitimate aspirations, who
loves America, and cherishes her civil and
political institutions"

A Boom for Brunettes.

The brunette type is becoming more
numerous in England and on the Cont.
nent generally. Mr.. Gladstone, who OBJ
serves most things, said some years ago
that light-haired people were far less
numerous than in his youth. This state.
ment was borne out by the results of the
statistical inquiry undertaken by DR..
Beddoe, who examined 726 women and
found that 1853 were brunettes and 357
blondes. Carrying the inquiry step
further DR.. Beddoe learned that 1876 per
cent. of the brunettes had husbands,
while only SO per cent Of the blondes
were married. From this it appears that
In England brunette has ten chances Of
being welded to the nine changes of the
blonde; and DIR. Beddoe went on to argue
that "the English are becoming darker
because the men persist in selecting the
dark-haired women as wives" The
same thing is happening in Germany, in
France, in Switzerland and elsewhere on
The Continent.

President Mcleod Refuses to Furnish
Any Facts on the Matter.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-A conference
was held yesterday between the Reading
railroad people and some one represent
ing the Drexels. Where the conference
was held, who was present and what was
done, could not be learned.
A Reading director admitted the fact
OF the meeting, but his reply to all other
questions was: 'I can't tell you"
President Mcleod has declined to see
newspaper men since Friday. A reporter
met him last evening as he was leaving
his carriage to enter his hotel. Being
asked IL he had any statement to make in
regard to Reading affairs, Mr.. Mcleod
replied: 81 have nothing to say" His
reply was the same in response to the
question as to whether a conference was
held with the Drexels. Without waiting
for any more questions to be asked him,
Mr.. Mcleod said: ~ thank you for COM
ing" and bidding the reporter good
night he went into the hotel.
The battle being waged over the Read
ing was the absorbing topic here among
men interested in financial affairs. The diff
ferent theories advanced since Friday for
the drive at the road were discussed, but no
one could be found who risked advanc-
ing any positive opinion upon the truth
fulness OF any OF them. BY some the
opinion was expressed that the difficulties
OF the Reading might have been adjusted
at the conference and the true story Of
the great attack upon the railroad might
never be known. The general belief,
however, Is that today will be the critical
day and then the secret of the attack upon
the road will become known.

The Latest Gossip In Dancing, Fashions.
and Other Matters.
Among the pretty and original figures
danced at recent "dinner german " was
that Of the spinning wheel. A pretty girl
sat spinning at the wheel decorated with
two bows, one of pink and one of green.
Two rivals come to her, one with pink
favor on his coat and one with favor of
green. The wheel is set i'm motion and as
it finally stops its revolutions the color on
top decides which man is to dance with
the spinner. In another figure the
maidens all sit In row with aprons, hats
and parasols of tissue paper at their feet.
At signal by the leader as many men rs
there are maidens, and one more, rush
forward, array themselves in the hats and
aprons and open the parasols The man
who finishes his toilet last is left without
a partner. Another figure at the same
cotillon was set of hurdle races. The
ladies in this figure wore jockey caps of
gay-colored silks, and each drove three
men with bright colored ribbons for reins.
Each man carried in his hand a wooden
ball that he was expected TO keep in its
place when he jumped the hurdle. At
the dinner that preceded the dance the
dining room was lighted by large elec.
trio star, and on the table beneath was a
second great star of holly and mistletoe.
Ropes of laurel, frightened by clusters Of
scarlet berries, were festooned on the
walls and from the center of the ceiling
to the corners of the room. The favors
for this revel were silver stars, wands OF
silver, Santa Claus spoons and the New
Columbian souvenir coins.

Fiftieth Anniversary of the Conservation

Fiftieth Anniversary of the Conservation
of the Pope Celebrated.
NEW YORK, Feb 20.-The fiftieth ami
versary OF the conservation OF Leo XIII as
Q bishop of the Roman Church was cele-
brated by the Catholic Club last night.
The restoration OF his holiness to the
temporal power was made the keynote OF
the addresses.
Archbishop Corrigan, the principal
speaker, insisted upon that point in his
remarks on the characteristics and career
of the present head OF the Roman Church.
The archbishop said that the Pope's whole
life presents TO the historian n singularly
beautiful unity.
After touching on Leos cares for the
clergy, the archbishop said: But Leo
Kill in his encyclicals, has had much to
eay TO ( he laity. Domestic life has called
for his thoughtful attention. He has
touched on the sacredness OF Christian
marriages. He has remembered the la
boring man. He has considered the rights
of property, and shown that labor and
capital should never be enemies.
He has tried TO make men fond OF learn
ing. He has said to the leaders OF the
world, II YOU ever overcome socialism, an
archism, nihilism, you must come TO the
religion OF Christ. He has acted as
mediator among men, for instance with
France, with Germany, with Alexander OF
Russia.
Is II not right that he who wields all
this power should not be the subject OF
any earthly sovereign May he live to see
the triumphs OF the church.
Archbishop Corrigan's remarks were
loudly applauded.

tions Offering heartfelt congratu lations TO

HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

Use Earlhenware for Cooking-A Pretty
Napkin Ring.
The flavor of food baked or boiled in
earthenware is far superior to that of
vegetable or animal food cooked in the
same way in iron vessels, for the reason
that iron is conductor OF heat, while
earthenware is non conductor; conse-
uuently, food cooked in the latter is
rarely ever burned, the degree of heat not
varying perceptibly during the process
of cooking, thus preserving the flavor OF
what is cooked, as well as uniformity
throughout the substance of the meat,
vegetables or grain, until the process Of
cooking is completed.

w ARLINGTON, Feb. 20.-"The secretary
OF the navy is afoat." That is the state
ment which was made last night by one
OF the nearest friends of M. Cleveland
who had Just returned from Lakewood.
The gentleman meant by this that the
next secretary OF the navy Is to be John
e. Russell of Worcester, Mass. BY refer
ring to him as "afioat" he meant, un-
loubtedly, to be understood that Mr..
Russell has already taken passage from
Europe TO return TO this country to as
rendered to him before he sailed for
Europe.
There is, OF course, a possibility that
even the most intimate friends of Mr..
Cleveland may be mistaken. There is lit
tie doubt, however, that one of the first
tenders which Mr.. Cleveland made was
that of Cabinet position to Mr.. Russell.

he was not to be in the new Cabinet.

may have been sincere and he may have

and he has since that time been one of the
most earnest advocates of Clevelands
cause.
The understanding among the more
intimate friends OF Mr.. Cleveland here Is
also that the other vacancy is to be filled
by the appointment of George w.
jerks of Pennsylvania TO be attorney
general. Mr.. jerks, under Mr.. Cleve-
In nH ad mi, ,iatr halA
the office of solicitor general.
He was one OF the brainiest men who
ever held that position. He was subse-
quently transferred to the position of as
sistant secretary of the interior. While
in that position he rendered many of the
most important land decisions which
were made under Secretary Lamar's ad-
ministration, and he set on foot the tele-
phone litigation, which has not yet
ended. He voluntarily surrendered his
position i'm the interior department, to
resume his law practice, under peculiar
circumstances.
An Eccentric Character
in Pennsylvania, an old lumberman many
times a millionaire, died, leaving as his
only heir a son, who was a minor, and
leaving a will in which Mr.. jerks was ap-
pointed sole executor without bonds. The
duty was very responsible and profita
bic one, and it required the attention OF
Mr.. jerks for considerable period. The
estate has now been settled, and Mr..
jerks is able to return to Washington as
a member OF Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet. He
will be one OF the ablest men in it. He is
a lawyer Of eminent ability.
He attracted attention when a member
OF the House of Representatives in 1876
for his distinguished ability, his legal
learning and remarkable power of concise,
logical and forcible statement. Mr..
jerks, as attorney-general, will command
the respect of the court and bar.

The impression has gained some
prominence throughout the East that
the passage of the repeal bill by Con-
gress would be a death blow to Colorado
and her industries. In order to ascer-
tain the opinion of the leading business
men of Denver upon this subject and
whether or not they shared IN this be
lief. the Associated Press representa-
tive called on Ex-Governor Evans, the
presidents of the various banks and
other prominent business men.
Without an exception each one eX-
pressed the belief that injury to Colo
RADIO by the repeal Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act had been an
ticipated some weeks ago and that
financial matters and business was
slowly improving and the condition now
was better than at any time since the
depreciation Of silver began.
The crazy talk about stay laws, reyo-
luton and reputation of our indebted
ness has done us more harm than all the
silver legislation said one of these
in time and while the silver industry
nav be ignored to a certain extent, our
old gold fields will be reopened and new
ones discovered Coal and iron mining
will be pushed with greater activity and
our agricultural and fruit resources
will be developed into one Of the great
est in the Union.
ALREADY the merchants are doing a
better business than they anticipated in
August. Cattle and sheep are bringing
a higher price than year ago and the
industry promises to again reach the
standard it held in the West seven years
ago. Our people were discouraged dur
ing August and September, but that has
been removed to a great extent by the
prospects Of the future. Colorado has
been dealt a severe blow, but she vii
recover and soon be one of the greates
states in the Union if she is not now"
