ONE. LANGUAGE FOR MEDICINE.
An italian Suggests that Latin BE
Used In All Countries.

Used In All Countries.
Decidedly the question Of a universal
language Of medicine is In the air.
During the last few months, says the
British Medical Journal, we have had
Of the kind. Now comes another, this
time from Italy. DR.. Il. Vital, of Bari
has addressed a long letter to the Itnl-
ian Minister. of Public Instruction, DIR.
Baccelli, inviting him as President Of
the International Medical Congress to
propose to the organizing committee
that Latin be recognized as one of the
official languages at the next (Afoscow)
congress, and as the sole official Ian
guage at all future congresses, begin
ming with the fourth from the one held
this year in Rome. DR.. Vitali's argu-
ment Is briefly that, while all medical
men have SOME smattering Of Latin,
comparatively few know any modern
language but their own. Very few un-
derstand allathe languages used at con-
crosses. which hence serve to give an
idea Of the tower or Babel, as far as
confusion Of tongues Is concerned.
However bad may be the Latin spoken
1t will always, DR.. Vitali maintains,
be more intellfgfbla4 than any modern
language to the largest number, and
that, after all, Is the main point. For
there need be no difficulty in acquiring
sufficient fluency in Latin for the pur-
pose In view.
DR.. Baccelli has sent diplomatic re-
ply to DR.. Vitali's communication, in
which he promises to give the subject
proper consideration, etc. There, so
far as we know. the matter rests; and
there, we imagine, 1t Is likely to rest.
There would unquestlonably be many
advantages in the revival Of Latin as
the linsua franca of science, nor does
tho scheme involve any insuperable
difficulties. In IN interesting article
In Temple Bar for August 1t Is stated
that the celebrated DR.. Bozzi Granville,
when he wished to enter the English
navy, had soma difficulty about his ex-
animation at Hasler, as none of the
medical staff spoke any European Ian
guage but his own. At the suggestion
Of the surgeon of the Raven, whose
communications with his assistant had
been carried on irLatin, that language
was employed; the Italian doctor
passed triumphantly.
DR.. vitali does not refer to one prac-
teal difficulty, namely, the diversity Of
pronunciation used in different coup.
tries. There is q story which may well
be true Of British ecclesiastic who
made speech in Latin to the Pope, to
which the Holy Father excused him.

did not understand English. A Span

Is There a Fifth Napoleon !?

A London letter In the New York
Press tells sensational story about
the late Prince Imperial Of France,
and his alleged marriage to an English
goyerness before he lost bis life in
In a French country village, confined
in an institution which is half aims
house and half school, there is to-day a
youth who is known as Louis N. Moore.
Some unknown person pays $75 year
for his board, clothes, and schooling.
The boy wears garments SO coarse and
hideous that they resemble prison
clothes, but his features are those of
the first Napoleon and the Prince I'm
perial combined. A few people in En-
gland and France do not hesitate to
say that this half-starved, half-clad
young man Is the son Of the Prince I'M
perial by Miss Charlotte Watkins. Aft
er his birth the Empress Eugenie
treated her son so badly that he went
the Zulus. Nj. Rouher, confidential
agent Of the Empress, then convinced
Miss Watkins that her marriage was
not legal, and induced her to marry q
man named Moore, who was doubtless
paid for the part he played in the mat
ter.
The young Louis is now old enough
to go out into the world and earn his
own living. He is kept in ignorance Of
his supposed illusrious parentage, and
his education has been confined to the
commonest branches, MS the unknown
persons who caused him to be locked
up in his prison school propose to have
him trained up in some mechanical
calling. His.detention, however, gives
rise to the belief that his custodians
have found out that he is the fifth Ma
pOleon, and 1t is thought that they in
tend to hold him and secretly give him
instruction that will fit him for the
highest station, and then bring him to
the front when the next Bonapartist
movement Is started.
1t is very interesting story, but Eu.
genie has recently declared that there
is not word Of truth in it.
Another startling theory Is advanced

Not Even a Chance.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Dec. lex
Secretary of the Navy R. w. Thomp-
son, in commenting on the president S
message to Congress, said that he did
not think there is a. remote chance Of
war with England. There is no proba-
bility of the two English speaking peo-
pie of the world going to war about
a little strip of territory alongside Of
Venezuela.
1T would be war of diplomacy
he said. Both countries will make
an exhibition Of power. and purpose
but the controversy will be settled by
peaceful methods. Neither nation is
prepared to go to war, and neither
wants a war as result of this quar-
rel over the boundary line 1t is not
necessary for either to fight to show
that it is not cowardly. Each knows
the other will fight, but each is too far
advanced in civilization to be the ag-
gressor in bringing ON war on such
provocation.'
One Phase of 1t.
Colonel Thompson said one phase of
the question presented itself to his mind
which would probably open up g, pro-
longed discussion. The country had
never affirmed the Monroe doctrine and
given notice to other nations. So far
the doctrine is merely the doctrine Of
President Monroe. While it is accepted
everywhere as expressing our position
in regard to encroachment of foreign
powers on the American continent it
has not been given the force of congress
sional affirmation. England may say
it had never been notified of the inten-
ton of the people of the United States

sATOLLI'S RED CAP.
The Ceremony on His Elevation to
Cardinaiate.

The Ceremony on His Elevation to
q Cardinaiate.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-The de-
livery to Monseignor Satolh of the
zuchette "a small red cap) and the
consistoral letter informing MIN OF
his elevation to the cardinalate, which
was preliminary to the conferr1ng
upon him of the beretta, took place
at the Catholic legation here this
evening. The duty was performed by
the Marquis Sacrapanti, the pope
messenger. Among those invited to
witness the ceremony were Ambassa-
dor Patenotre. Minister de LONE and
the minister from Switzerland.
Marquis Sacrapanti, in full uni
form, explained his mission in few
words ard handed the consistoral let
ter to Monseignor Satolli, who opened
it. read THE brief official announcement
that on the 18th of November at a
consistory the pope had created the
delegate a cardinal
Monseignor Satolli, in reply, deliy-
cred some extemporaneous remarks,
addressing them to the noble guard
All the proceedings were in Latin.
In his reply the new cardinal
thanked the marquis for the office he
had performed. He was filed, he said,
with a sense of the unmerited good
ness of the pope in selecting zone so
unworthy as myself for dignity SO
exalted
Monseignor SaItolli spoke of the diff
ficulties which confronted him when
he came to this country. He had at
times almost lost his courage, but he
was strengthened. by the same Kindly
voice and the same helping hand. The
qualification he felt was increased by
the manv commendatory congratulate
tons he had received from persons
all over the United States, irrespective
of religious belief.
''You will find continued the dele
gate-cardinal. addressing his remarks
particularly to- the cardinal. that the
American people are second to none
in their generous hospitality. You
Will be received with the same touch
ing kindness that 1 was when [ came
here a stranger. You will find much
to admire and wonder at in this coun-
try. I am certain. however, that you
will admire nothing more than the
wonderful spirit of union and brother
1y love which prevails in this great
republic. You will see a people scat
tered over an enormous extent of ter
ritory with an infinite variety of
tastes and desires. and of material
! interests. but all united in the great
purpose of the maintenance of the
| national union and liberty. You have
arrived at a, particularly interesting
moment in this country-a moment
when a spark has been sent through
the length and breadth of the states,
which calls attention of all its citf-
zens to a danger which is thought to
| menace it. and whatever may have
been UP to today the dividing inter
ests of this great people. a new mani
festation of the patriotic spirit has
| responded at once to this impulse. and
in reply throughout the country but
one voice proclaiming that if real dan
ger does threaten. all are and will be
united for the common welfare of the
nation.
The new cardinal then took the new
zuchette and placed it on his head.
Later the cardinal and his guests
dined together.
