MAKING A NEW SAINT.
The POpe's Appearance in the Hall of

Rome Jan. 23.-Among the many cere-
monies that Rome has to offer to the sight
of the curious or religiously inclined trav-
eler. one of the most interesting is that Of
beatificahon.
When, after long and keen and scrupu-
lous examination, the merits Of some per-
son of conspicuous virtue are declared to
be of a superior or heroic character-that
is to say, heroically virtuous-that this
virtue is further confirmed by al least two
undoubted miracles wrought through the
intercession of this person, then bea'til-
cation follows.
at St Peters at Rome. The person so
honored was poor Franciscan monk
Father Teofilo da Corte, who died over
200 years ago. To our faster quicker
age it seems a long time to wait for hon
ors. But, on the other hand, the man who
wished his memory kept green might feel
after his death.
The chief attraction for the strangers in
Rome from over the seas and beyond the
mountains for the students in serninaries
and for nuns and friars Of the same Fran
ciscan order the new Beato, was that of
seeing the pope come to pray at the altar
in the hall of beatification in the after
noon.
This hall is over the vestibule of st.
Peters, and is exactly the same size In
the days when the pope was still ruler Of
lavanda, or wasting of the feet where
on holy Thursday, the pope washed the
feet of thirteen poor priests in memory of
Christs washing the feet of his d!sciples
and where he afterward served them at
dinner. 1t is a long narrow hail. with
five windows on each side, those on the
left opening on the great piazza in front
of the church, and those on the right to
the interior of st. Peter 5. There are three
tribunes, or small galleries, one over the
other, not unlike the stage boxes in a
theater, built into each window These
tribunes are set apart for the more select
visitors Some of them are occupied nv
ambassadors, ministers and attaches from
the several nations. and distinguished
members Of the religious orders. more es-
pecially Franciscans who gather i'm force
to-day to pay respect to their own. The
walls between these galleries are brightly
painted and lightened up with heavy gold
ornaments. The curtains are of crimson
silk, with heavy gold fringe and tassels
A soft glow Of thousands Of candles
whose light struggles with that of the
sinking sun, renders the atmosphere with
in the hail warm and rich in tone.
1t is needless to say that the hall was
packed and the great human mass had
filled the anteroom and even the SaIa
Regia, and even then there was not place
for all who presented themselves. IT was
reported that many tickets Of Admission
had been forged and sold at hotels al

on came the ski riders with a rapidity
that was Incredible; a single false step
would have sent them whirling headlong
The elk made desperate efforts to es-
cape but before they could make any
Roadway one of the hunters dashed into
the herd, and, whirling his RATA, sent
the rope over the long branching horns
and skillfully rounded himself up By II,
thus reaching the side Of the infuriated
animal, that, half buried In the treach-
erous snow, struck at his captor and en-
deavored TO trample him under foot. An
other rider came whlzzing into the herd

third after dashing down into the ravino
and up some distance on the other SIDE
returned, and successfully roped fine
buck, which had been stalled in the deep
snow of the mountain side.
To describe the excitement and appear
ance Of this rush of 300 or 400 feet down
an icy mountain is impossible. and one
does not wonder that so few men are
adapted to IT,; The speed i'm some In
road train. Obstacles have to be jumped.

runner must throw off his shis and, aided
by his pole, II he has one, or by his
skull, try and avoid 1t. If the snow il
covered with ice, the chances are he will
go flying down the mountain on his back.
In short, the skis are steeds that when
doing their best are runaway steeds, taxi
ing the riders at frightful speed down
the sides of the mountains
SO successful have certain hunters be-
come In the Rockies and the Sierra Me-
vadas of California that they have a wide
reputation. Perhaps the only herd of cap
tive elk in this country were captured In
in this way. They belong to G. A. Bry-
ant of Columbia Falls, Mont, who, with
G; Christensen, takes all his elk on skis.
The elk are caught not to KILL but to
propagate, and II is believed that these
fine animals can be domesticated without
any difficulty. This is an important ex-
tinction.

the pyramid is very large some three

The confectioners show molds in which
they will make whole series of waits

TRAMPs AND DOGS.
The Experienced Hobo It Not Afraid

a queer question to ask a Teller who's
been on the tramp for fifteen yearsl

ONLY 40 CENTS FOR THE HEIRS.
Estate Worth $4,000 Eaten Up i'm
Legal Expenses.
From the Philadelphia Press


A striking illustration of the manner in
which a large estate may be literally eat
en- up in the process of probate was given
recently in the probate department Of the
superior court of Los Angeles county, Cali
fornia. In December, 1870, Encarnaeion
Busina died in Los Angeles, leaving an es-
tate valued at $4,000, which has been in
the courts on litigation growing out of the
settlement ever since, dragging along until
it was almost forgotten by those who had
originally instituted the proceedings.
When the public administrator came
into court a few days ago to file his ac-
counts and settle the business of the es-
tate it was found that after all claims
and costs of adminstra had been al
lowed, there was but 40 cents left to divide
among the heirs. During the time that
had elapsed since the death of Busina all
of the heirs had either died or left the
country, and, there being no claimant for
the remnant of the competency, the judge,
after mature elaboration ordered the
fun amount turned into the county treas
ury, thereby closing the account.
There have been numerous cases where
large estates have dwindled into insignif-
canoe after they had passed through the
hands Of administrators, but this is be-
HeVed to be the first on record where the
entire property has been consumer in the
mere matter of paying routine legal ex-
penses where there has been no particular
contest, and no charge of dishonesty on
the part of those who had the matter in
charge.

The future Of the moose, Oldest and
noblost Of the game animals on this
continent, is matter that has interested
a good many people, Mr.. Braithwaite,
WHO has lived among these animals ell
his life, says there is no danger Of their
diminution in New Brunswick. They
shed their antlers before the snow be-
comes deep in winter, and the sports
man who endeavors to carry away a
hornless moose is always roughly dealt
with by the magistrates down in the
settlements. The only relentless enemy
of the moose is the lumberman, who in
the depth Of winter can make good use
Of the meat But in the region which is
the subject Of this article there is little
lumber, and so there are few lumber
men. The degenerate Indians of the vii
lagos seldom trouble themselves to hunt,
and the few moose killed by hunters are
as nothing compared with the young
ones destroyed by the bears. Bruin gets
trapped because his coat will average
$40 to his captor There are no wolves
III this wilderness, 20 the prospects for
the moose are getting better instead of
worse. And if there are thousands Of
Moose, there are tens of thousands Of
caribou. Frederick Irland in Scrib-
