THE ARCHBIShOP'S LETTER
Has Brought No Comment Of Any Kind
From Rome
Archbishop ireland Denies the Repeated
Rumors That His Goldbug Letter
Gave Offense to the Pope
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press special wire
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 16.-Archbishop
Ireland has heretofore adhered firmly to
his first decision not to speak of the re-
peated rumors, purporting to come from
Rome, stating in one way or another, that
he was to be called to account for some
of his views or actions. An Associated
Press representative, however, succeed
ed today in getting from him the follow
ing statement:
I'm all the reports recently published
as to my relations with the vatican there
is not one syllable of truth. Not one word
has come to me from Rome indicating the
smallest change in the kind feelings
which the sovereign pontiff and his i'm
mediate advisers have been pleased to
entertain towards me. 1t is false to say
that 1 have been summoned to Rome.
have not been asked to give an explana-
tion of any act or any writing of mine.
And certainly If the sovereign pontin
had desired to approve or to blame me.
ne would have communicated his Will
to myself, instead of making 1t known to
me through the gossip of newspaper re-
porters of Europe and America. What
may be the source of the reports in cir
culation-whether the enemies be politi-
cal or ecclesiastical-I do not know nor
do I care to inquire.
The Roman paper quoted in this
mornings dispatch is bitter and ma
licious adversary of the vatican, and
usually cannot be quoted as represent
ing the views of the pope Whether the
report published in this Roman paper
originated in Rome or in America is a
matter that need not be discussed at
present The absurdity of all these re-
ports reached the climax when even
Cardinal Gibbons was reported as likely
to be disciplined by Rome

CHAIRMAN HANNA FEASTED
By His Friends of the Cleveland
Union Club
The Manager Had Charge Of McKin-
leys Honor and Never Soiled 1t
Little Bit

CLEVELAND, O., Nov 16.-Chairman
NJ. A. Hanna of the Republican national
committee was rendered a compliment
tary banquet tonight at the Union club.
The affair was planned by some of Mr..
IIanna's close friends and warm ad-
mirerS who are members of the club
and the invitations were limited to men,
bers of the organization, which is the
most exclusive in the city. The arrange
ments were on an elaborate scale, the
floral decorations being among the fin
est ever seen in this city.
After several speeches of nature
most complimentary to Mr.. Hanna had
been delivered the guest of the evenir<t
arose and was greeted by tremendous
applause. In the course of his talk he
said: II have a great feeling of relief
tonight. Such a feeling of relief and
joy as I never had before and I never
was so happy as I am tonight. My
friends, this comes very near to be an
anniversary. About two years ago, not
quite that long, began the work of de-
votion and love to our chief. Two years
ago took from him my inspiration and
when he laid upon me that confidence
which he felt and said to me: My friend,
I trust you with my future he also said: /:
Mark, there are some things I will not
do to be president of the United States,
and I leave my honor in your hands.
And from that day, nearly two years
ago. began this campaign.
1T was rather quiet at first-what the

it is true that it had it's birthday nearly
two years ago. l embarked on the duty
with a full heart for a man whom l
loved because l had learned to respect
and honor him. 1t was mission of love,
inspired by that noble character which
has no peer in the world
Continuing, Mr.. Hanna referred to the
result of the st. Louis convention, ard
said: When I took charge of Nc
Kinleys honor 1 swore to my Maker
would return it unsullied. and when I
returned from that memorable conven-
ton proud and satisfied with the work
his friends had done, went to Canton
and laid my report at the feet of my
chieftain and l said to him. Mckinley,
have not forgotten my trust, and bring
1t back without blot and not a single
promise to redeem I think l have a
right to feel proud of that, because in
the succession of administrations from
Lincoln's to the present there are none
that have enjoyed that privilege be-
fore"
Speaking of the campaign, Mr.. Han
ma said: There were dark days.-days
when even the best men in this country
lost faith in it's government-and why?
Because, as l said, the enemy was an un-
seen one, and was striking blows at the
very foundation of the government.
And they did not know the inner work.

plete suit of armor proof. This armor
is made of a material far more in
destructible than steel-namely, chitine.
Chitine cannot be destroyed except by
certain mineral acids; in other words,
only the articles of chemistry avail
against it. Thus the shells of beetles
that died 100000 years ago have
been preserved perfectly in the rocks,
so that we know to-day just what these
insects of antiquity looked like.
In Europe giant beetles have con-
siderable market value, commanding
prices in proportion to their size. In
London there are regular auctions of
insects, and single butterfly has been
known to fetch $500. A specimen of the
rare and very large Goliath beetle is
worth $50. This is the largest beetle
of the Old World, and it first became
known through missionaries in The
Congo Basin.

A fifth of a million of dollars for a
dress to be worn only once. Just think

at 6 per cent would bring in tidy lit
tie income of $4,000 year of 81 900

to accept the responsibility Of worry

the risk of affording one or two be-
coming gowns in the bargain. The
lump sum of 100000, which this rate
of interest represents, has already been
invested in coronation robe for Alex

there are the territorial delegates, and
behind each delegate is an alternate.
Many Of these alternates attend the
conventions whether their principals
do or not, and must be provided with
places. Another calculation in figuring
ON the seating capacity, and by far the
most important, too, is that there will
be about ten spectators to each dele

other considera tons. The Auditorium,

ton, s. c., but adjourned, with
out accomplishing much, to Baltimore,
where Douglas and Johnson were plac
ed in the field, against Lincoln and
Hamlin, who were named in the Chi
cago wigwam. The Republicans moved
their next convention to Baltimore,
where Lincoln was renominated, and
johnson succeeded Hamlin in the Sec
ond place on the ticket. That year the
Democrats held their first convention
in Chicago, and nominated Mcclellan
and Pendleton. In 1868 they went to
New York for the only national con-
vention ever held in that city, and
named Seymour and Blair as their
leaders. In the same year Grant got
his first nomination in Chicago, with
ColfaX in the second place on the
ticket.
In 1872 Grant was renominated at
Philadelphia, with Wilson, their Demo
cratic opponents, Greeley and Brown,
being nominated at Baltimore-the last
national political convention held in
that city. In 1876 Tilden and Hen
and Hayes and Wheeier at Cincinnati.
The latter city also held the next Demo
cratic convention, that of 1880, which
placed Hancock and English in the
field, their opponents, Garfield and
Arthur, being named in the Exposition
Building in Chicago.
In 1884 the Democrats came back to
Chicago, and, by naming Cleveland
and Hendricks, ended "a long line Of
Republican victories, those nominees
defeating Blaine and Logan. who were
also named in Chicago. In 1888 the
Democrats nominated Cleveland and
Thurman at st. Louis, and the Repub-
licans named Harrison and Morton in
Chicago. In 1892 the Republicans took
their Harrison and Reid convention to
Minneapolis, and the Democrats named
Cleveland and Stevenson in the Chica-
go Wigwam.
