WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Mgr Sa-
TOLL is much gratified by the general
expressions OF pleasure with which the
restoration OF DR.. McGlynn has been
received throughout the country. He
deplores the fact however that in
some quarters efforts to fan into blaze
the embers Of the old controversy and
hopes that these will cease. as the past
has been forgiven. and should be for

disrespect to authority.
Regarding the press dispatches to the
effect that thsre is dissatisfaction among
American bishops owing to Mgr. Sa-
TOLLS presence in America, and that
the feeling at Rome has been dampened
by the reports OF the New York con-

Than to Buy Costly Wedding and Other

Here Is little story which should

London correspondent of the Boston
Herald. An uncle promised his niece
wedding dress whenever she should
stand in need of that commodity. The
| suspicious day on which such an
article would be necessary hove in
sight and the uncle true to his
pledge. presented the young lady with
check for 800 with which to make
herself beautiful at the important
event. Tho young lady, wisely re-
solving to have competent advice ON
SO momentous Il sub ,ect conferred
with u friend who had some six
months previous herself become an
English wife. IAN expensive we'd

A long pause ensued. Tho maiden
was considering the offer. Presently
she said: "Pll tell you what I'll do,

the occasion, just us people hire their

she paid only f2. And already
from this small beginning there is
springing up an industry which con-
sists in the application OF the hire

OUR ST. LOUIS LET TER
once Building Improve ments-A Hun
dred Miles OF Electric Road to he
nufit-SeiItnp Frauchises.


Buiit-SeiIing Franchises.
Sr. Louis, Mo-. Dec. 24.-Eyery new
Office building that rises with its ten
and twelve stories in st. Louis has an
improvement on the ono built the
month before. that shows what inven-
ton is doing for the convenience of the
business man. Rapid and intelligent
elevator service is the one tn Ing needed
in these big edifices. At present, in
most OF them, this Is very irregular.
You may ring the bell. wanting to go
down, and along comes ar elevator
going up. You have to wait till 1t
comes back. The newest idea is a
double bell on each floor, one Of them
marked, "up" and the other 'down."
You ring the bell that shows what you
want, and the elevator going your way
comes to your floor and stops. The
elevators that run continuously up and
down without bells are be lng aban-
doned, as there is too much waste OF
power with them.
If the Assembly passes tho street
railway bills now before 1t, over hun
dred miles of electric roads will be
added before next fall to those now
running in the city. There are men in
the city who, taking advantage Of this
intention of the railway builders to
extend their lines into every nook and
corner of the city, are making fortunes
by keeping their eyes open and invest
ing small sums OF money judiciously.
There are some OF these men at every
meeting OF the Assembly. When an
application for new franchise Is
made, they take note OF the route.
The next day they drive along the pro-
jected line looking for vacant lots.
Then they see the owner and offer to
pay his taxes in exchange for years
option. In most cases he is glad to
get the Offer and closes with it at once.
The other man pays the taxes and
watches the railroad bill Ten to one
he closes the option before the year is
out, and makes a thousand per cent
on the investment, as tho property
jumps up at the approach Of the new
road. A business of this kind could
not be carried on at all in a city grow
ing less rapidly than st. Louis is.
There are thousands of people al
over the United States who have pleas
ant memories of visits to tho great
woodland resort of St. Louis, Forest
Park. They have walked through il
by the footpaths, or driven along IT.
beautiful drives, and have narveled a
its scenery, its geological collection
and it's botanical garden. All thes,
tourists will doubtless be interested il
knowing that in a year or less there
will be a belt line of electric railwa,
running around the park and connect
ing with the city lines so that visitor
may see the park from eve ry side ant
return to their hotels without leaving
their seats. At certain points on tn,
line it will be possible to leave tn
cars and, by walk of few hundred
yards reach the lakes with their boat
and music, the tennis courts and thu
haunt of the wheelmen at the SUNNI
of a lung-testing hill. The franchis,
for this road is to be sold at auction
and as it is certain to be largely pat
ronized the price will be Mig one.
