A SMOOTH SWINDLER.
Says Any Man Who Eats Macaroni In
Italy Is = Ceppt,

Says Any Man Who Eats Macaroni In
-. Italy Is Cespt.
A man well known in Paris, who speaks
eight languages, was tried at Lyons the
other day for swindling. 1t seems that he
mad rass:d himself of as O Russian
prince, and In one theater, so impressed
was the proprietor by his magnifcence, the
Russian hymn was played In his honor as
he entered the house.
Having thus paved the way, he persuad-
ed several rich men to join him in pro-
posed purchase of Prince Paulo Borghese's 3
collection Of pictures and obtained &c, 900
from his victims, after which he decamped,
but was arrested at Madrid. In court he
was severely cross examined about his
career, and when charged with masquerad-
ing as nobleman in Italy he answered /:
bah! In that country man who eats
macaroni Is a count, and whoever orders
a fillet Of beef is prince" He was sem
fenced to three years imprisonment.-

NICARAGUA AND JAPAN.
II the United States One Of the Great
Powers Of the World?

Nicaragua Is little power; Japan Is a
greater, but not yet great, power. Brit
ain, Franco, Germany and Russia are
Great Powers, with a capital G and p.
When Britain has dispute with Nicara-
qua, she appoints herself arbitrator, makes
an award Of S75, 900 and sends three war
ships to get the money or take the coun-
try's custom houses.
When Russia, France and Germany look
over the Japanese Chinese peace treaty and
find Japan has got more land than they
think she ought to have, they send in a
formal protest and hint that there will be
trouble unless that treaty Is revised.
But when Germany took Alsace and
Lorraine from France nobody interfered
to revise the treaty of peace When Russia
partitioned Poland, nobody ventured to
supervise the process. When Prussia and
Austria sliced Sleswick- -Holstcin from lit
tie Denmark, nobody protested. France,
too, is gobbling up Madagascar without
any outside interference, just as Britain
has swallowed Egypt and dozen other
countries that were "weak on their pins"
1t was very cynical remark of Gibbon
that "God is on the side of the strongest
battalions," but the cold facts of history
seem to give it great deal more coun-
tenance than is agreeable to those who like
to think, with Lowell, that "ever the right
comes uppermost and ever is justice done"
Meanwhile Is the United States Great
Power, with capital G and P? The pop.
ular American belief is that she Is. But
Spains apology for the Alliance insult is
not yet In evidence, Britain is having her
own sweet way at Corinto, Franco has just
sent an American citizen to prison for 90
years without ceremony on her part or
protest on ours, and now little Japan is
actually believed to be meditating move
upon Eawaii.
The lesson Of 1t all Is that Great Powers
must be prepared to live up to their capital
G and p or go out Of busincss.-Ncw

Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1895-05-07

When Plus IN was approaching MS emu,
there was the usual speculation as to his
probable successor. Tho present pope was
then the Cardinal Pecci, chamberlain OF
the Vatican, nS in favor with the Romans
or tho pope and popularly supposed, from
his fragile appearance, TO have consunp-
ton.
At that time there lived In Rome an old
and sanity priest known as Padre Philip
DO. He worked miracles, led laborious
life among tho poor and was sought far
and near by the sick and the wretched Tor
help In all forms of human suffering.
His superior said to him one day be-
tween lest and earnest, "Padre Philippe,
who will be our next poper Padre Phi
lippo answered with promptness and sim
piicity, although he was the humblest and
least pretentious Of men, Cardinal Pecci
will be the next pope, and he will reign 70
years
OF course Leo XIII had been the first to
hear Of Padre Philippo's prophecy, and
as soon as he had the time sent for the old
priest, that he might hear with his own
ears a prophecy of which half had been
fulfilled. The sanity priest repeated his
prophecy with child's simplicity.
'fHow do you know that shall reign
20 yearsS" said tho pope.
"I know nothing but that you will
reign 90 years and accomplish much for
the world" said the old man. He never
said more on tho subject and lived only a
few years longer, held in the highest honor
by the pope.
Instances without number might be
cited to prove the confidence which the
pope has had In the prophecy. One must
suffice here 1t Is well known that he Is
bent on giving the red hat to Delegate Sa-
tolli before he dies. II would not do to
leave the delegate to the favor Of the next
administration. At any moment he could
raise Mgr. Satolli to the sacred college by
q special brief, and his friends have urged
it on the plea of advanced age and debility.
Don't trouble yourselves, has been the
steady reply Of his holiness II shall live
some years yet"
He will let the delegate get his honors
in the ordinary way, sure that his reign
will not end until the spring Of 1898, 20
years from the time of his coronation.
1t remains to be seen whether that pre-
diction will be fully verified. Yet how
much history has been made by the clear
of the old priest, for there Is
NO doubt that Leo XIII has begun and
carried out schemes of administration and
reform which he might never have at
tempted but for the prediction. New

The New Railroad and Mark ct Street.

Some complaint has been made that
the Portland and Cape Elizabeth railroad
is laying it's rails on Market street. be-
tween Milk and Fore streets several in
ches above the surface of the street. Some
citizens were quite indignant about it.
But the grade used was given by Com
missioner Fernald, and is the proper
grade for the street, which is at present
out of gradessin1thatsloc locality. When the
new armory is built and the street is
fixed properly, the rails will be at proper
height. Temporarily the railroad will
raise the old cobble pavement between
Milk and Fore streets, SO that public
traffic will not be Inconvenience. Similar
ly the grade on Federal street is differ
ent from the present McAdam surface,
because that street must sooner or later
be paved, and the grade of pavement
is different from that of macadam.

JUGGERNAUT HARNESSED.
To Help Build the Cnpe Electrics.-Inter
esting RumOrs.

Work was progressing rapidly yesterday
on the laying of the tracks on Fe leral
street. The macadam surface there is
packed very solidly because OF SO much
travel of heavy teams. To loosen it with
piokaxes would require much time and
labor. So the services of Juggernaut, the
steam roller, and a peculiar pillow We're
brought into use and the hard road!ripped
up, as if it were so much pasture.
The pillow had big steel wedge project
ing downward, slantingly. Old Jugger-
naut would puff and start off and that
wedge would rip through the macadam
and do more work in the same time than
so piokaxes. 1t required five men to
hold the pillow.
There are many interesting ru mors
afloat about this hustling Cape Elec-
trio" Company. 1t has been asserted
that it has a backing of So, 00O, 600, also
more recently that it has backing OF
1913, 900, OO0 One man was heard to de-
clare on the street yesterday to another
that the " Cape Electrics' Company and
the proposed yarmouth Electrics" Com
paly were one and the same and that
they would be united in front OF the
United States hotel, also it was stated
yesterday that it is proposed to extend the
line from Monument Square down ELM
street and to the station of the Portland
