the American College in Rome In
the expense of the church, he is now
apparently very wealthy, and his elab-
crate entertainments constitute a very
important feature in the Vanuntelli
canvass. In any case, the Cardinal
and the American prelate are on the
most intimate terms, have recently
been photographed together, with the
Cardinal seated on a sort of throne,
and his American friend standing be-
side, leaning over to him, as if whis-
pering words OF counsel in his ear.
In this connection a story is current
of an incident which took place at
banquet given the other day by Mgr.
O'COnnell in honor of Cardinal Vanu-
tell, for the purpose of enabling the
latter to meet some foreign Cardinal.
After the latter had left, the remain
der of the guests set aside some of
American prelate suddenly put out his
hand, removed the scarlet cap from
the head of Cardinal Vanutelli who
was seated on his left hand and then
replaced it, having turned 1t inside out
so that one saw nothing but the white
satin lining and none of the red. The
meaning OF this will be readily under
stood when it is stated that the Pope
alone of all the members of the Ro-
man Catholic Church wears a white
skull cap. The Cardinal smiled in a
sort of pleased way, and then, without
saying a word, turned it back with the
scarlet outside, and then placed it on
the head of Mgr O'Connell, thus prac-
tically promising by gesture, and with
out making any utterance, that if he
ever became Pope he would make Mgr.
O'Connell a Cardinal.
There is, however, but little likeli-
hood of Vanutelli ever being elected to
the chair of st. Peter. For, in the first
place, he has the disadvantage of hav-
ing a brother in the sacred college,
namely, Cardinal Vincent, and second
ly, he is burdened with a perfect army
of relatives, some of them employed by
the papacy, and others looking for
employment. The best known of all
the Cardinals relatives, and probably
one of the most influential, is Gen.
Kanzler, a Swiss by birth, who is Com
mander-in-Chiefo of the papal army
His wife is the sister of the two Car
dinals.
| am assured here that Mgr. O'Con-
nell has secured the promise of Cardin-
al Gibbons vote for the election of
Cardinal Serafino Vanutelli at the
next conclave Vanutelli is likely to
enjoy the support of the triple alliance
as the champion of which he poses in
the sacred college. He was formerly
nuncio at Vienna, and has spent some
time in America.
cable this because it is the first
time that American prelates are taking
part in a campaign which has as its
object the election of a Pope.

BEE MOUNTAIN.
A Crevasse Filled with Honey and Occu.
pied by Snakes.

A Crevasse Filled with Honey and Occu
pied by Snakes.
About twenty miles from Cleburne,
on the Brazos river, in Texas, is Bee
mountain. On one side it rises several
hundred feet above the country around
and the other fronts the river and rises
perpendicularly for over 500 feet. On
the perpendicular side are several
c-evasses or caves, in which places
are millions of bees and tons upon
tons of honey. 1t is impossible to
scale the dizzy heights from below,
although the rocks are worn out places
that look like steps had been made to
climb this mountain ages and ages ago,
and it is believed by some that abo-
rhymes scaled this cliff to procure
honey for their primitive meals
Within the memory of man, hOwev-
err, parties have been daring enough to
have themselves suspended with a rope
and let down to where the bees enter
the rocky bluff and the tales they
told of the vast amount of honey would
sound like a tale from the Arabian
Nights"
One man, a cowboy who worked on
the old Abe Wilson ranch, which was
quite famous here in an early day, had
the temerity to have some of his CO.
laborers let him down with a rope.
Where the bees entered, he said, the
crevasses were not large enough for
man to enter, but a little south of that
point was a hole about four feet high
and eight or ten feet wide, which he
entered. What he saw simply struck
him dumb with amazement There,
hanging from the top of the cave,
which seemed to extend for a quarter
of mile back, great combs of honey
twenty or thirty feet long and from
four to six feet wide. They looked
like a great lot of fine silk lace cur
tains hanging in some grand old hall
way. The humming of the bees sound
ed like the noise of many spindles in
a great factory. He had a hunting
knife with him and sliced off piece of
the honey and ate it, and was just
about to slice off more to bring to his
companions on the mountain above,
and who were waiting to pull him up,
when his attention was drawn to an
other direction. On listening closely
he detected kissing sound and ore
unlike that made by the bees. Pres
emily, from the direction from which
the sound proceeded he saw at least
100 serpents coming toward him, their
little, beadlike eyes shining in the
glare of the torch he carried. To use a
street phrase, he tore out" leaving
his hunting knife and his Klondike of
honey behind. When his friends had
pulled him up he had tainted from the
! fright When he recovered he told
them what he had seen. At first they
laughed at him, but finally it became
an accepted fact that in Bee noun
tain there are tons of honey, but no
one since that time has ever been
reckless enough to venture in that
cave, where not only millions of bees
and tons of honey are to be found,
but where den of serpents
greets the intruder. Alderman Tom
Childress has a summer home which
adjoins this mountain, and is going to
tunnel into the side of it and try to
arrange to eXterminate the serpents
and have this wonder to exhibit to his
friends.

No Nervous Fright Appeared Pending
the Opening OF Congress-.

Coz weekly review of trade says: The
most significant thing this week has
been the entire absence of the custom
airy nervous fright before or after the
meeting of congress. the presidents
message and the treasurer's report. No
one showed the least alarm, and no
body could find occasion for any. Money
and stock and grain markets moved
on exactly as If the government were
automatic. certain to do or say no more
than the people had already decided
and expected, and so the gradual bet
terment since October continues. There
is a larger demand for products in
nearly all the great Industries larger
export demand for foreign needs, a
more healthy domestic demand since
seasonable weather arrived. and a
comforting conviction that November
business. the biggest ever done in this
country in one month, was but a step

Many girls Of sixteen years seem to

Their anxious parents and friends watch

"She grew thinner and thinner every day.
She lacked only the hacking cough to show
all the outward signs of consumption.

name, which learned meant simply weak

Transvaal Forces RepuIsed.

London, Dee 10.-The Capetown cor

go forward from that point. He says
that the campaign recently Instituted
by the Boer government against the
Magatos tribe in the Zouttans Borg
district has proved a complete fiasco.
The chief has outmaneuvered the Beers

been guilty Of wholesale butchery of
women, children and unarmed natives.

cpssfully overcome that difficulty if
they can keep the expenditures down
TO the estimate in their financial re
port. There is, it is true. some dis
satisfaction over the rate of mills
fixed, but a careful perusal of the

that the levy could not be reduced

thronged Madison Square Garden all
day yesterday, and at midnight thou
sands of enthusiasts remained to cheer
on the jaded riders in the six day bicy-
Gle race. Before midnight Miller had
beaten the worlds record made by him
self a year ago, and his friends believe
that he win be able to remain ahead of
his own record until the race is ended
His condition seems remarkably good,
as does Walters. Miller, however, has
such a good lead that unless he should
weaken or meet with an accident he is
a sure winner. Pierce was almost %
miles behind Waller at midnight. and
looked very tired. Should anything hap
pen to Miller Waller will probably be
the winner. IF Miller can keep up the
advantage he has gained over last years
record until the end of the race tonight
he will earn a bonus of 5000.

DEADLY EXPLOSION OF POWDER.
Three Men Killed and Eight Injured
at the Dupont Works.

at the Dupont works.
Wilmington, Del, Dec. 10.-Three men
were killed and eight injured more or
less seriously by the explosion of
press mill and four grinding mills In
the Hagley yard of the Dupont Powder
works yesterday. The killed were;
Robert McInhenny, about 45 years old,
Ieaves a widow and four children John
Wright about 80 years old, leaves a
widow; John Moore, 40 years old, leaves
a widow and five children. The bodies
of Mcnlhenny and Wright were blown
to pieces. The force of the explosion
carried portions of the bodies across
the Brandywine, a distance of so or 100
yards from the mill Some time after
wards the mangled remains were gath
cred together in buckets. Moore, who
was employed as a carpenter in the
yard was within a few feet OF the
press mill. The back of his head was
crushed, and he died at his home WITH
out regaining consciousness.
The explosion occurred in the press
room of the Hagley, or lower yard
works. A carload of powder that was
being wheeled into the room was ac-
cidentally overturned, and the car
wheels running into the iSose powder
! caused a friction that set the poydeI
| afire. The explosions quickly followed
all the powder that was in the press
room going eff in the five successive
detonations. The press mill was
wrecked and much damage was don'
to surrounding property.
