upon the readers mind that they present
our case rather weakly.
Every now and then New York socie-
ty receives a shock on account of what
is termed the stright-laced severity of the
first lady in the land. 1t is we'll known that
Mrs. Cleveland feels profound aversion
to being known as the new woman but
now she has set the mark of disapproval
upon the girl who smokes cigarettes 1t
seems that young lady who INDUCES the
habit, whose name is withheld although
she is well known, was lately frowned
upon very pointedly for the offense. Mrs.
Cleveland, in fact, will not know any
woman who smokes cigarettes New
York society is up in arms at this, and
the rather strained relations between
Mrs. Cleveland and the metropolitan four
hundred have become more tense than
ever.
1t can be stated on the very best au
thority that the archbishop of New York
Will be made a cardinal by Pope Leo, and
that in no very long time. The honor II
appears, is only delayed because Arch
bishop Corrigan is still a young man from
the point of view of the sacred college
and there are many aged men whom the
pope wishes TO honor and whom it would
be graceful to bestow the red hat upon
But these aged eeclesiaSticS are not Amer
leans, and Archbishop Corrigan is the
American who will next be elevated to the
sacred college. The attempts to iniure
the prelate are now acknowledged to have
been futile, and his standing at the vati-

that the pope was actually scandalized by
the irreverent nature of the attacks by
some priests upon the archbishop these
going to the undignified length of term
ing his grace of New York an ostrich and
so forth. However, all that is over and
done with. and st. Patricks Cathedral
will in time be the center of magnificent
ceremonies upon the installation of Car
dinal Corrigan 1t was feared that the
archbishop might discipline certain of the
ecclesastics who attacked him, but it is
now known that he deems such step be-
meath his dignity, and, moreover, 1t has
always been his policy to heal dissensions
instead of aggravating them.
Darlington Booth is being severely con-
demned for his rebellion against his father
in the Salvation Army. 1t is really rebel
lion, for the commander has seen various
misstatements put into circulation con-
corning his father and has not taken the
trouble to correct them. To begin with. If
is a regular thing in the Salvation Army
to make transfers of commanders from
one country to another, and the present
transfer of Ballington Booth to another
country has long been on the cards. In
the next place Darlington Booth is nnt
quite so popular with the Salvation ARMY
as he would have it appear, and there is
no rebellion in the ranks, either on the
contrary, the Salvation Army is too well
trained for such lack of discipline tn ss-
sert itself. Transfers are ALWAYS heinz
to be that Commander Booth has a sofT
thing in the United States and will nor
give it up. Moreover, he has abandoned
the old back alley" campaign and fakan
the army into swell parlors.I Th,s
change IS not liked by the rank ana
file. In fact, the army has always been
proud of its Influence with the typical
