position at Canea was given by Admiral

sury, replying to the request, made yes
terday by Sir William Harcourt-that the
instructions given 20 the British admiral
at Canea be laid before the House-said
that he was compelled TO decline to COM
ply with the demand, as it would be i'm
polite TO do so.

Der for Mid-Tipperary, asked If it was

Pope Leo's Anniversary.
PHILADELPHIA Press.)

tFUlldQtlpUld
On Tuesday next, March %, Pope Leo
Kill will celebrate the eighty-seventh
anniversary of his birth. Nincenzo
Gioacchino Peoci was born in 1910, at
Carpineto, in the Diocese of Anagni, IN
the State Of the Church. Anne Prospect,
his mother, was Qt is interesting TO note)
a descendant Of the celebrated Cola di
Rienzi, 1.-The last of the Roman tribunes.
Young Pecoi was received into the priest
hood on the 23d of December, 1857
nearly sixty years ago He rose to be
Bishop of Perugia, where he remained
for two and thirty years, and then be-
came Cardinal. In 1917 he was nomi-
mated by Pope Plus to the office OF Car
dinal Carmerlingo of the Roman Church;
and il was in this capacity that, on the
death of Pope Plus, he was called upon
TO act as head of the Church for temporal
and momentary purposes. and he superin-
tended the arrangements for the con-
clave, which ended in his elevation to the
Papal throne, in April. 1878.
Pope Leo XIII. has thus reigned as
the Supreme Pontiff for a period of
nearly nineteen years. He is one of the
Oldest Popes to sit in the chair Of st.
Peter, and he has been one of the best.
He was born and bred in the Keen air
of the Volscian hills. a southern Italian
but OF the mountains. A. Il. Marion
Crawford has said: He has still about
him something of the hill people. He has
the long, lean, straight, broad shouldered
frame of the true mountaineer, the mar
velously bright eye, the eagle features,
the well-knit growth of strength trace
able even in extreme old age" And all
the civilized world, Roman Catholic or
otherwise, will send happy greetings to
this venerable ecclesiast, who is one Of
the saintliest pontiffs that ever filled the
Holy Chair

LONDON, February 23.-The examina-
ton Of Cecil Rhodes by the parliament

was again present during the proceedings,
and DIR. Jameson, the leader OF the Trans
vaal raiders, made his appearance at the
inquiry for the first time.
The examination Of Mr.. Rhodes occupied
the entire sitting of the committee. The
hall was not so well filed with specta-
tors as at the former sittings, interest in
the inquiry being apparently on the wane.
Several times during the examination Mr..
Rhodes attempted 10 justify the raid by
calling attention 10 the fact that England
Is now In full sympathy with the Cretans
In seeking TO obtain their civil rights,
whereas IL was Britons who sought their
civil rights in the Transvaal. He also re-
iterated the declaration he made on the
first day OF his examination, that the
people OF Johannesburg would never cease
their agitation until they had secured
their popular rights. Mr.. Rhodes further
declared that President Kruger. prior 70

nesburgels, had promised TO grant their

and have learned economy by experience
Naturally the scarcity of money is felt,
but they know how TO make ends meet
We have, as / said, more confidence than

Pink Butter on the Bread.
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.l

The new West Virginia law, which
says that all oleomargarine sold in that
State shall be colored pink, will strike a
great many people as unjust. If en-
forced, it cannot fail TO curtail the con-
sumption of a wholesome article Of food
Persons who buy butterine Willingly and
eat il because they know ii is better
than much Of the butter put upon ti,2
market, will not use 1t at all If it is col
ored pink. or green, or purple. The West
Virginia Legislature might as well pre-
scribe that all ice-cream shall be colored
pink, and that all barns and fences be
painted green. and that all West Viz
ginians shall shave off their boards. If
the Legislature would insist that cleo
margarine shall be sold on its own
merits, and not as butter. and that no
thing deleterious be allowed to enter into
its composition, ii would go as far as is
necessary to protect the people from i'm
f,ure food
