prepared TO accept as fiual and con-
elusive Of its rights the decision Of the
United States Supreme Court holding
invalid the claim of the company to title
TO the submerged lands along a large
part of the water front of the
city Of Chicago aud accordingly this

McKenney petition praying the court TO
grant a rehearing Of the celebrated Lake

case by one vote, aud perhaps thinks it

According to information from Rome
the congregation Of the Holy lnquisiti0n
has decided that the Order Of Good
Tenplars must be counted among the
societies which Catholics are not permit
ted to join under pais Of mortal sip.
The question was first raised by
Grand Caief Templar Frazier, of Wis
cOnsin. vho submitted a request to
Archbishop Katzsr to allow Catholics
under his jurisdiction to join the Good
Temelars. stating that at the last con-
vention held in London it was decided
that Catholics could reveal the secrets Of
the order to their confessors. 81
Archbishop Katzer at that time in
formed Mr.. Frazier that he decided a.
gainst allowing Catholics in his jurisdic-
ton to join the order. The decision has
been sustained and confirmed by the
supreme body of the Church.
The decisions is of no little import
ance to the Catholics, because the posi-
ton of the Baltimore PIsnary Council
in the matter of secret sosieties is up
held by the Holy See even in the face OIL
concessions made by the representative
orders, 20 that the condemnation doe,
refer merely to the order, but to the
prisciple that secret societies are mimi
cable to the welfare Of the people.

Charles Elsie, nineteen years old.
committed suicide in a boarding house
in New York, few days ago, and as he
lay cold and still on the cot, black
snake crwaled up and wound itself above
the stiffened fingers closed tightly over
a revolver. Elsie was tIxidermist.
Here and there about the room where
be lived were birds of gay plumsge,
mounted With considerable skill There
we're sore on the walls. and under the
narrew cot were several hundred Of
them. The suicide was reported to the
police, and Officer McDermstt went to
Eisls's room, He opened the door and
then drew back with sAudder The
black snake, coilea abost the dead boys
arm flashed up its head and turned its
vicious eyes towards the intruder, while
1t slowly uncoiled itself The snake
had been a pet which Elsie had owned
fer some time; and of which he had been
very fond. Il was allowed to crawl a.
bout the rsom at will Until resently an
owl shared Eisls's affections With the
snake. The mounted bride and animals
in Eisle's meager quarters were worth
at least 81 900. Eisle's father lives at
6SS Tenth avenue, but the young man
had not lived at homo for nearly two
years. In the suicides room we're found
two letters addressed to his father, bu'
neither gave reason for bis act.

The tramp problem has, by ne means
been settled in this country. aud the
number OF these ragged and hungry
wanderers is probably greater now, says
the American, than ever before. The
closing down of many mills and factories
has undoubtedly added to the great army
that is now on the move southwark fer
the winter. Maryland, by the establish

to solve the problem, and a number of
