KINGS IN KNICKERBOCKERS.
Unhappy Lot of Children Who Have
-. Sat On Thrones.

English Illustrated Magazine: To the
sombre philosopher the Cuban war
stands for a struggle between a young
and an old civilization; it is the old
fight of the Saxon race against the Celt.
Reduce this to the personal equation
and it appears as the attempt of a de-
mocracy to snatch his coming power
from a king in an EtOn jacket; far be-
hind that imposing old constitution
stands a little boy in knickerbockers-
Alfonso XIII (unluckieSt of numberS).
If his majesty were q in stead of y,
the war would lose much of its essen
tial pathos, which appeals to the chiv-
alrous instincts of most people. AS a
war proper it would scarcely inter
est the tacticians. Spain is always the
land of the infante. Today it is the
kingdom of an infant, just as il was 60
years ago. when the kings grandmoth-
er, Isabella II, assembled the throne at
the age of 8, assuming the actual gov
eminent when she was Is.
Curiously enough, at that time both
parts of the Iberian peninsula were rul-
ed by little girls and both were in touch
with the American continent, inasmuch
as Brazil was in keeping of a little boy,
poor ePdro H. then aged 8. The road
these three children had to travel was
as hard as that of Alfonso XIII. Isa-
bella's path was specially thorny. Her
mother, Maria Christina, shocked the
grandeeS of Spain bv contracting a
inorganic marriage a few months after
the death of her husband. She plotted
and planned to marry Isabella, who
ultimately welded her cousin, Francis
co De Assist. Maria ultimately had TO
go to France and Isabella was expelled
to the same country in 1868, Indicating
two years later in favor of her son, AL
fonso XII, the father of the present boy
king.
Maria of Portugal also found life
worry. Her father, Dom Pedro VI, alb
dictated in her favor in 1925, when she
was keeping Brazil for himself and
his son Pedro. Maria, who was born
in 1919, should have married her faith
ers brother, Dom Miguel. But she did
not. She espoused first he Prince o of
Leuchtenburg and then Prince Ferdi-
nand of Saxe-Coburg, cousin of our
own prince consort and the grand
father of the present King of Portugal
AS a matter of fact. Miguel managed
to hold the throne for six years, but
Maria was ultimately restored in 1884
Gin which, by the way her father died.,
and reigned until her death, in 1853
Her brother, Pedro. whom she replaced
in Portugal, and in whose favor her
father resigned the crown of Brazil,
was a charming man, but he LAS an
anachronism, for the Brazilians drove
him out in 1882 and he died of a broken
heart two years later.

versely the resolution for the CONSOLE

The deputies, after a long discussion
adopted the following article:

may be united into provinces in such
manner. under such conditions and with
such powers as shall be provided by
canon of the general convention; pro-
vided, however, that no diocese shall
be included in the provinces without
its consent.
Article of the proposed new consti-
tuition, relating to the qualifications of
priests and fdeacons necessary to ex-
animation and conservation, was then
taken up. An amendment proposed by
Rev. DR.. Eastern of Los Angeles, was
adopted, providing that in the declara-
tons Of belief required OF bishops,
priests and deacons, the word doc

A message was received from the
house of bishops announcing the selec-

holding the council of 1901
The bishops spent the entire after
noon in the consideration of the canon
relating to the re-marriage of divorced
persons, but, without finishing it, adj
journed until tomorrow.
Incidental to the, convention was a
meeting today of the American Church
Building Fund commission. The an
nual report showed that its fund
amounts to S343,S90 an increase during
the last three years of SOS, 900. A mo-
ton that the scope of the fund be en-
larged so as to loan money to erect
rectories and school houses was refer
red to the board of missions.

ARCHBISHOPS' CONVENTION.
Meeting of Catholic Dignitaries In
Washington.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE annual meet
ing of the archp1shops CT the Roman Cath
ole church began at the Catholic Unit
versity today under peculiarly suspicious
circumstances. Just prior to the opening
session Cardinal Gibbons presiding officer
of the archbiShopS, received cable dis
patch from Rome announcing thai Pone
Leo had appointed Archbishop Chappelle
of New Orleans as apostolic delegate to
Cuba It did not go into details. This
was the first official act of the vatican to-
ward meeting the important new church
conditions in the Antilles arising out of
the war.
Archbishop Chappelle will retain his
present position at the head of the New
Orleans archdiocese, but may have a CO.
adjutor. TIE particular duties of the new
apostolic delegate to Cuba viii be to act
as the personal representative of the pope
to provide for the proper assimilation of
the church in the West Indies to the
American church. 1t doubtless will cover
also the settlement of questions relating
to the vast church estates, though the
Rrchbishops said Archbishop Chappelle's
duties would depend entirely upon the in
structions he received in person at the
vatican.

close of the meeting Archbishop Kaine

nothing to give TO the public as the pro-
ceedings had been confined entirely to the
internal affairs of the church. The arch
bishops completed their work.

LEPR0SY Nor HEREDITARY.
Persons Live For Years With the Dis
ease and Escape Contagion.


North American Review: That leprosy
is contagious disease is unanimously ad-
mitted by the best authorities, but the
exact manner of its contagion is certainly
difficult TO understand. There are many
examples of persons living for years Il
the most intimate family relations with
lepers and remaining uninfected. And
often but one member of the family will
acquire the disease. On the other hand.
the history of the disease in different
parts of the world shows that it never
originates spontaneously, but that its
origin can always be traced to human
Importation. There are also a very large
number of recorded cases where leprOsy
has resulted from a single contact of an
abraded surface with some lesion or score
ton of an infected individual. These ap-
parently contradicted facts must be ex-
planned on the theory that some peculiar.
inherent predisposition. which existed only
in limited number of individuals, is nee
eSSary for the development of this strange
disease. There is no reason to bella
that leprosy is a hereditary disease.
