Pope Issues an Encyclical on the Manitoba
School Question.
ROME, Dec. 27.-The pope's encycli.
cal OH the Manitoba school question is
published here. After recalling the re-.
hgious history Of Canada and eulogiz-
ing its scholastic institutions his holi-
ness expresses regret at the decisions
taken seven years ago in Manitoba rela.
tive to the Catholic schools and points
cut the rights of Catholics, according to
the federal agreement.
The pope condemns a school system
tased OH religious neutrality, praises
the zeal the bishops have displayed on
tho question:; regrets that the Catholics
are not equally united. owing to
political passions, and admits that
the authorities have done some
thing to diminish the inconveni-
ences of Manitoba shool legisla.
ton. But his holiness declares this to
be inadequate and exhorts Catholics to
persist in claiming all their rights,
though they must not refuse any partial
reparations obtainable, with the view
to reduce the perils of the education of
the youth.
The encyclical says that in the event
of these being unobtainable Catholics
should provide their own schools and
adopt, under guidance of their bishops,
a programme of study consistent with
their religion and all literary and scien.

Majestic Building at Detroit to BE Sold
by the Sheriff.
DETROIT, Dec. 27.-The filing of a
notice of lis pendens has revealed the
fact, hitherto suppressed, that two
mortgage foreclosure suits have been
commenced against the fourteen.story
Majestic building, corner of Woodward
and Michigan avenues, one by the New
York Life Insurance company on its
$S0O,O first mortgage, and the other
by Jacob Ssligman and the Fisher es-
tate, on their second mortgage of $780,.
600. The building company has failed
to pay the interest on the first mortgoge,
although granted an extension, and the
foreclosure suit is brought by the insur.
ance company to protect itself. The
Majestic building company is made up
of the contractors who took the property
and mortgages off the hands of Godfrey
and Hyde, the original owners. The
heaviest stockholders are Winslow & Co.
Of Chicago. From present indications
the property will soon change hands.

TO RIVAL GREENWOOD.

New York Mtllionaires Will Start q Grave
yard on Tom Paine's Old Farm.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Tom Paine's
old farm is to be turned into O ceme-
terry which will rival in beauty and
importance New York's celebrated
necropolis-Greenwood.
The property is near Rochelle and has
just been sold to syndicate of New
York millionaires, who propose to so
enhance its beauty as to make it one of
the most re mantle graveyards in the
world. 1t was sold to the syndicate by
John H. Trenor, rich citizen of New
Rochelle. Its 300 acres brought the
sum of $4,000.
This land was the spot on which the
Hugenots settled when they landed in
America.

DENMARK WILLING TO SELL.

Uncle Sam Can Have Her West Indies for

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator H. G.
Lodge is preparing bill to carry into
effect the declaration of the Republican
platform in favor Of the purchase of the
three islands of St. Thomas. St. Croix
and St. John. owned by Denmark, in
the West Indies. The senate passed a
resolution year ago asking the state
department to ascertain whether the
islands were still for sale, at what price
they were held and whether any other
country was after them. Denmark has
replied that she is still willing to sell
and that two European governments
are now negotiating for their purchase.
These are supposed to be Great Britain
and Germany.

watchman named Wheeler saw the
trouble and ran to open the door, but
the crowd was packed in front of it so
closely that he had the greatest diff
Guilty in opening it. When it was
finally opened, however, the crowd was
in the open air in few seconds. In
the jam before the doors were opened
several people were badly crushed.
George Dekreke, proprietor of the
Streets of Cairo, was caught on the
balcony, and, being unable to escape by
the stairway, was forced to jump from

May Provo a Good Thing.
Shortly after the fire Colonel John
T. Dickinson, president of the Coli.
scum, was seen. He said:
''The building is a total loss, and
there is but little prospect that any at
tempt at rebuilding will be made.
There is $l2O,OOO insurance on the
building, which is just sufficient to
cover the bonds. The Coliseum com.
pany was stocked for $500, 900, paid up,
and bonded for 100000. The build
ing has proved a success in every way.
The expectations Of the promoters had
been fully realized, even surpassed.
"When we started out to spend $4OO,.
600 on an exhibition building at Wood.
lawn we were laughed at by many, but
the result has proved that our Judge.
ment was sound. However, times
have changed even during the
lass two years. and in my opinion,
there should be no effort made to build
the Coliseum, but ON the contrary q
united effort should be made to push
forward the plans that have been pre-.
pared for the erection of Q splendid ex.
hibition palace on the lake front. Chi
cago must have large building that
can be used for all manner of gigantic
amusements. The Coliseum has been
swept away and the city is absolutely
without anything that answers the pur-
pose of an exhibition building.
while the destruction of the Coli.
scum is great personal loss to many,
and also great loss to the city, hon.
estly believe it will result in stirring up
the people in the matter of permanent
exhibition building Should the lake
front become the site of splendid pal.
ace of amusement, the burning Of the
Coliseum may be less of misfortune
than it appears.
Since the building was opened it had
been used 10 nights and had brought
in something like 500, 900 revenue. All
OF this money had been put into the
building and the stockholders have
never received cent of return on their
Investment.

A Bill to Make the Pens ON List Public
May BE Passed.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-As result of
the recent disclosures of pension frauds.
it is not unlikely that congress may
take some action toward remedying the
evils Of the present system. The Her.
aid has polled the influential members
OF congress and finds strong senti-
ment in favor of the enactment Of q
law to make public the pension list, SO
that unworthy pensioners may be ex.
posed by their neighbors. Some action
will, it is stated, be taken after tho
