WHO STOLE THE STOLE?

The handsomely embroidered stole
which was once worn by Pope Plus TX
and later by Leo XIII, and which was
stolen from one of the booths at the
Irish fair at the Grand Central Palace
in New York City, was taken on
Thursday night. The police were not
notified until Friday night, as the
persons in charge of the stole believed
that 1t had been mislaid. They arrested
en- suspicion William Rice, one of the
walters in the restaurant at the fair.
He was remanded yesterday.
The stole was valued at $4,000. II
was white silk embroidered with gold
and had number of jewels on it. It
was the property of church digni-
tary at the Vatican, who had received
1t from Pope Leo NIII. It's owner had
given 1t to Mr.. Francis e. Sullivan as
donation at the fair. 1t was ex-
hibited at the Kilkinney booth and
was to have been voted to the most
popular priest

WHITE SLAVES IN FLORIDA.
Many Southern Women are Descend
ants OF Captive Greeks.

Down on the Hiilsborough river, in
Volusia county, Florida, there are the
ruins of one of the Oldest settlements
in this country, and it's history forms
one of the most tragic episodes ever
recorded of any place in the United
States. The place is called New
Smyrna, but there is nothing new or
attractive about it except the orange
trees, the palmettos and great vines
which nature distributes lavishly
around. There is one class of people

but the blood of these ancient slaves
has mingled with that of our noble
southern families and perpetuated in
degree beauty that it now rarely
seen. What the Creole blood has done
for so many women of New Orleans
the Minorcan blood has accomplished
for the inhabitants of Florida. The
wondrous eyes, the regular, classic
features and the beautiful hair are all
worthy of the Greek slave-their real
ancestral prototype.
The story of the English Minorcans
is interesting, dramatic, tragic. They
were the first slaves at that! They
suffered the horrors of a slavery which
was unregulated by law and which
would have made the scenes in Uncle
Toms Cabin commonplace. The ex-
istence of this white slave colony in
the south was only nine years, but
in that length Of time enough sorr""
and misery were compressed to fill

MISS NOAH,"
Baptismal Name Which Puzzled
4: Yorkshire Vicar

The scholar should know his text
books, else he may have the mortifica-
ton of being outmatched in his own
speciality by layman, as in this story
from an exchange.
A child was brought to Yorkshire
vicar for baptism. AS he was told
that the name was to be Noah. he
naturally referred to the infant as
he in the course of the service. Soon
he felt his surplice pulled by one of
the women, who whispered to him
that lit was a lass"
But Noah Is not girls name"
said the parson.
yes, it is" spoke up the child's
father.
An adjournment was made to this
vestry to settle the point. The father
said that whenever he had child to
be named he opened the Bible and
chose the first name of the proper sex
that met his eye. The clergyman in
sisted that in the present case a mis-
take had been made, whereupon the
father opened the Bible at Numbers
xvi, 33. and read. "The names Of
the daughters Of Zelophehad were
Noah, etc"

from Sanford university asking them
to answer the question: What per-
son of whom you have heard or read
would you most like to resemble, and
why?" In remarkably large number
of cases the answers revealed desire
to resemble some great man rather
than famous woman, and an i'm
pressive majority of the writer's en-
pressed the desire to be strong and
nave rather than to possess the quail
tiles generally regarded as peculiarly
and properly feminine. One 13-year-
old Il wrote; Il believe that would
rather resemble a man than woman.

sometimes great. self-sacrificing and
