THE PAPACY.
An American May Become Pope Leo's
Successor.

An American May Become Pope Leo's
Successor.
While Leo XIII. is still vigorous in
mind and body it must be remembered
that he has reached an age of nearly 20
years beyond the threescore and ten
allotted by divine writ to man, and
that in the nature of physical laws
he can survive at best but a short while
longer. This being the case the question
ton as to his successor is becoming
interesting.
Italy, being the mother of the Roman
Church, has always dominated in its
government. She has claimed that the
Pontiff's chair is hers by heritage, and
that DO one but an Italian should oc
cupy 1T. From present indications 1t
would seem that this claim may be
disputed with the end Of the present
pcntiicate. The Catholic church is no
longer circumscribed by national lines
It's influences are at work in every
civilized country on the globe. and
there are many countries in which il
has greater numerical strength than in
Italy.
There are many people completely
ignorant Of the fact that there is no
reason in the world why the PapaI
See should always be occupied by an
italian. It is, in fact, frequently urged
that the next pope, or at least his sue
cessor, Is likely to be an American.
The chance, however is remote. IF
the Papal See were to pass out Of the
hands Of the Italians it no doubt would
more probably become filled by an
American than Cardinal of any other
nationality, since an American would
be exempt from the passionate jeal-
ousy which divide the states of Eu-
rope. The Germans would never vote
for Frenchman or the Frenchnan
for German, while this enmity NAV
be compared with the distaste of a
Spanish-American for the presumpti-
Gus Anglo-Saxon of the north. The
Papacy, however, is likely to remain
Italian, since the majority of Cardi-
nails are of that nationality.

f1utter of a grouse in the woods, the
lake and it's surroundings are silent
from this time on; though once or
twice an owl makes himself heard in
the distance, and once l catch the
lisp of a flock of small migrants fly
ing southeasterly high up above the
neck. The autumn movement among
the fy-catchers and warblers began
weeks ago, and has been proceeding
rapidly under most suspicious cir
cumStanceS during the recent MINDLESS
mOOnlit nights. 1t is probable that
these particular birds are making for
the tall ridge to the east which oc-
cupies a conspicuous position in the
landscape and forms a mark by which
to steer.
By II o'clock all movement on the
lake is ever except that of the unrest
ing merry-go-rounds, and 1 return to
the camp. At 80 the first mint of re-
turning day is furnishd by the crow
ing Of rooster at farm house across
the lake-a performance repeated at
intervals from that time on till day
light. At l again unmoor the boat
and put out upon the water, having
i'll view a descent upon the ducks.
These l have located in the neck some
distance below the opening, at point
where the water is so shallow as to
render rowing rather difficult, and
more than once find myself aground.
BY careful manipulation of the boat,
however, 1 am able to approch then.
and to get between them and the bank
before they are very much disturbed.
Then a gentle splash of the oars sends
them Scurrying across my bows within
a few yards Of the boat, and 1 see that
the gadwal are no longer in their
company. AS forlorn hope decided
TO cross the middle Of the lake long
itudinally up and down, with view to
a possible encounter with the strangers
in the open water; but though I zigzag
about persistently, so as to leave no
considerable part of the inner area un
disturbed, no lift of the wing rewards
me: it is probable that the birds have
left the lake.

New 1Orh FOSC.
In spite OF the interest which attaches
TO the study OF outdoor life under it;
nocturnal aspect, it was only during
the present autumn that 1 was able
to achieve the. satisfaction which comes
from the carrying out Of a much-de-
ferred intention and spend a night
alone IN the open air. 1t is true the
advanced state of the season, when at
last circumstances favored the under
taking, made the experiment a less
Promising one than it would have been
In June, or even so late as the last OF
August; nevertheless, the observations
made were sufficient to justify the ad
venture, and the record of the nights
experience forms not the least inter-
esting Of my various outdoor chron-
ICles
In order to insure being brought in
contact with a considerable variety of
our larger bird life, l had taken the
precaution to select as the scene Of my
Investigations a sheet of water some
three-quarters of a mile in length and
nearly half a mile across-With banks
partly wooded and partly open-my
base of operations being an unoccupied
summer camp standing within few
yards Of the lake. Here a fire was start
ed and such articles from the buggy
slowed away as were likely to be af-
fected by the dampness of the night
Then, slipping a couple of cartridges
Into my gun, I set off down the shore
TO where a boat was moored that
formed an item in the nights equip
ment. BY this time it was after
o'clock, the moon hung an hour high
over the hills, and everything had taken
on the aspect of the night.
While l was returning with the boat
the dip Of the oars disturbed three mag

Bird Life at Night

dense to hide me from all save few
that are flying low. I am obliged to
guess at the condition Of their con-
seriousness from the sounds which they
emit; though occasionally one of the
lower birds comes into full view, de-
series me. and gives vent to a discon-
certed SquaWk, which is taken UP and
repeated by others along the line. For
the most part, however, the birds pass
undisturbed; and the transition from
query to admonition, and even to sharp
upbraiding, which their intOnationS be-
tray, have to do solely with matters of
locomotion, and are independent of my
presence on the water.
Had the lake been free from fog it
would have been possible to decide up
on the species of the several herons
with tolerable accuracy from their
sizes and coloration; but as it is I AM
reduced to the necessity of inferring II
from pecularities in their cries and the
volume of their tones. That at least
three several species-the greater blue,
the green, and the black crowned night
or squawk-are among the number t3
certain; and not improbably those
~erer ones, the little blue and yellow
crowned sQuawk. Altogether perhaps
from twenty-five to thirty heron5
traverse the entrance to the neck be-
tween and 1880. The lake is the larg
est body Of water, however, within
radius OF several miles, ana us shores,
being mostly open and overlooked by
road, are forbidden ground by day:
hence it is not unlikely that the birds
which visit 1t by night are drawn from
a wide area. 1 have left the lantern
dimly burning in the camp, and it is
this which defects the stream of her
ons in my direction and sends them
TO the neck and the lower ponds.
AS seen at his work in the early twi-
light the heron is q remarkable in
stance of protective coloration and of
the adoption of its form to the condi-
tons of life. The bird stands erect
and motionless a few feet from the
Shore looking more like peeled and
withered stake than like anything

NOTES.

Trick lit is worthy of remark that
the success of North g venture does not de-
pend on his partners strength in trumps,
since in this respect south is even weaker
than North.
Trick s--West's opening is correct, his
best supporting card from q weak hand.
FrSsn the fall OF the cards to this trick
South marks the D 4 with North and the
D Q with East.
Trick 4.-East's load of a small card
from jack and two others is irregular and
apparently without good reason, but IL
loses nothing
Trick 5.-South acts on the information
he obtained from trick 2.
Trick s.-Weet's persistence in the dia-
mond lead costs trick, since, if he leads
spades, East makes the queen and ace, es-
tablishes the suit on the third round and
gets in with the last trump to make tho
last spade, winning four of the last six
tricks. The diamond lead ought to yield
three tricks, but East loses one by refusin g
the force. If he ruf:s this trick and leads
8 2, he must make S Q and S A. Still,
the situation is difficult for him, as he
fears the clubs, which are all against him.
The play was as follows:

METROPOLITAN RECEIVER.
a Chicago Street Railway in the
Hands of the Court.

Chicago, Jan. 21--The Metropolitan
West Side Elevated road is in the hands
of a receiver. A bill to foreclose the
mortgage protecting the issue of $15 000.-
600 of bonds was filed in the federal court
this afternoon and Judge Showalter APP
pointed Dickerson McAllister the chief
engineer of the road, the receiver.
The bill brought by Adrian ISelin,
Jr., and George G.. Haven. of New York,
to whom the bond mortgage, as trustees,
was made by the company on August J..
1892. The bill was a simple statement of
default in q portion of last August's in
terest account and the charge that the
road would be unable to meet the Febru-
airy interests. The answer of the road
admitted the charge OF being $37 600 in
default on the August interest and unable
to pay the February interest, due in
few days.
The failure of the road to meet its
bonded interest has been known to the
financial public for some time, and the
proceedings, while unexpected, created no
surprise. An effort has been on foot for
some time looking to the extension of the
bond issue in order to tide over the af-
fairs of the company, but it has been I'M

HAD BEATEN OLD SOLDIERS
Strong Testimony of a Witness in the
the Kansas Home Investigation.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Miers Powell, a
former policeman at the Leavenworth
soldiers home, appeared today before
the special investigating committee ap-
pointed by congress to investigate the
condition of the home, and proved the
star witness of the opponents of the
present mana cement.
He testified to the preparation of al
most incredible brutality on the part of
the officials of the home toward the old
soldiers. He said that he had on more
than one occasion seen a policeman
beat the head of one Of the old soldiers
against the concrete pavement. On
one occasion he had seen a policeman of
the home throw down on the concrete
an old soldier who had been sent to the
home prison for drunkenness, and when
the old man was PROSTATE, put one foot
on his mouth and the other on his
chest.
He had kept a diary of these cruel
ties, but another policeman who had
observed that he was writing down
what happened reported this fact to
Gen. Smith, the governor of the home.
few days afterward Powell discovered
that his diary had been purloined. He
was informed that Gen. Smith had said
that he would fix him for his off1cious-
ness.

CONGRESS COMES HIGH.
The United States Government an
Expensive Luxury.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The first "Bil-
lion Dollar Congress" will be left far
behind when the total amount carried
by the appropriation bills of the present
congress is figured up and the figures
will be found to be far in excess of any
expenditures ever voted by a single
congress in time of peace.
Speaker Reed and the leaders are do
ing all in their power to keep the total
down as nearly to a billion dollars as
possible but this figure will be exceed
ed at least 500, 900. 900, and possibly by
more than $40 000, 600
1t is difficult to see how the total ap-
prOpria tions for the session can be kept
under $3.50 0OO, 900, and, estimating the
receipts of the postoffice department at
$50, 600, GOO, it means that Mr.. Dingley in
framing his new revenue bill must have
in view the collection of about $780,
900, 600 per year, or nearly 81, 500, coo for
each business day in the year.
