The Pope's Successor.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Her
AIDS Rome cable says: A rumOr to
the effect that Cardinal Gibbons is
likely to be Pope Leo NIITs sue
cessOr has caused considerable
aInazement, and doubtless Cardinal
Gibbons himself will have been
as much surprised by the report as
his Roman friends. Never has there
been any talk of Cardinal Glib
bons for the task of conducting
the church. The next Pope will in
all likelihood, be an Italian, the
only nOn-Italian who would have
serious hopes of succeeding the
present Pope, was the late Cardi-
nal Lavigerie. Cardinal Galimber-
ii and Cardinal Kopp have been
mentioned as Papabili, but neither
has much chance, although
the former may, in certain
eventualities, become the pa
pal secretary of the state.

The blessed rain has come at last,
first since the first of March, and
the farmers confidently expect
more, as they say the drouth is
broken. The corn, which is over

all round and the farmers are jolly.
The productiveness of this south

HER LIFE SAVED.
A Mexican About to Kill the Girl
he Loves

ne Loves.
Manuel GalVan is the name of a
Mexican, who at one time, cOurted
Miss Florea Gonzales, a pleasant
young lady, residing on Laredo
street. Both are highly respected
and leaders in Mexican society.
1t seems that Miss Florea heard
that Galvan was not properly con-
Quoting himself, and informed him
that their courtship must not con-
tinue. Galvan's wrath became
aroused, and he made several
threats, but was not successful in
carrying any of them to an end, as
the young lady's brother appeared
on the scene and soon made away
with the man in love.
The matter for time seemed to
have dropped and the girl was no
longer afraid of her former lover.
Yesterday, however, Galvan went
out and became under the int1u-
ence of liquor. He called at the
home of Miss Gonzales and asked
to see her. She appeared, and the
two held a lengthy conversation.
The girls brother was close by and
listened attentively to the words
spoken. "Will you marry me-"
Numbered Galvan, with the
anger of lion. off you
say no, | will kill you on this
spot" said he in a manner some
what different. 81 really don't
care to, knowing what l do of
you," replied the young girl. Just
then the brother appeared and
gave Galvan sound thrashing and
kicked him out of the house. A
police officer was summoned, and
the young man was locked up on
the charge of disorderly conduct.
1t is generally thought that if
the brother had not been near by
Miss Gonzales would today be a
corpse, as the man was desperate
and had no control over his tenn
per.
Judge McAllister fined him $40,
| and the brother will have Galvan
| placed under peace bond before
he is released from the city prison.
Up to the time the LIGHT went

INsrRANcE FOR WOMEN.

lisa little singular that while sgl-
tAting the question of equality with
men in other things, women have not
invsighed against the discrimination
that shuts them out Of insurance bene-
fits As now organized none of the old
standard life companies schedule wo-
men as insurabls risks. Indeed few of
the mutual and fraternsl societies
recognize them as desirable members.
The reason for this has never been
fully explained. but II IS probable that
IL had It's origin in the nme-honored
theory that woman is the weaker ves-
col. The risks on men being great,
the risk would be so much greater on
women that the increased premiums
would forbid general insurance by
women. THIS theory, strengthened IN
large degree by the natural danger to
which all women are exposed because
OF sex, helps TO fix the discrimination
