to transfer to the Central museum at Ath-
ems various old Christian treasures, antia-
uitics and manuscripts dating back in
some cases to tho fifteenth century and

the war these treasures were all destroyed

People With Paws.

The thing in particular which distin-
guished our arboreal ancestors from
other creatures was the ability to grasp
and handle things with their fingers.
The sense Of touch is thus differen-
tiated from mere sensation. Analysis of
given objects, and construction Of other
objects, then became possible. And in
all ages the people who could use their
hands most deftly and skillfully have
been those among whom the greatest
civilization was developed Sometimes
the hands have been used in making
merely useful objects, and sometimes
the sense Of art has directed the clever
fingers; but it is always among trained
hand-workers that the highest type of
thought comes into being.
There are people, however. who, in
the midst of civilization, appear to be
reverting TO the prehistoric paw. In
the fashioned, homely phrase their
fingers are all thumbs When they
read a book they leave il full of thumb
marks When they handle a fabric
they crumple it. When they tie a par
eel il always comes TO pieces. They
have no deftness or delicacy Of touch.
Wherever they are something is sure To
be awry. They are apt TO spend a good
part Of their time simply loafing, and
10 expect things TO be made easy for
them. From this type come the crock
ery-smashing servant and the clumsy
and scampish workman. Occasionally
one finds them behind a counter The
type Of salesgirl who chews gum ana
talks to a companion at the other end
Of the counter for a minute or two
before waiting on the customer, who
never knows just what sort of goods
she has for sale, nor seems to care, and
who. if she is selling sheets of paper
manages to crumple them in counting,
and put in three or four defective
sheets, belongs TO The tribe of people

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
He Is TO Go at Once to Rome on n
Mysterious Mission.

Archbishop Ireland was at the State
Department yesterday afternoon There
was much interesting comment over the
visit but the motive of ii and the success
or failure were not discovered. Arch
bishop Ireland has been connected vari-
ously in the gossip floating about with
the diplomacy in this country and at the
Spanish court relative TO the interven-
ton of the Pope in the affairs of the two
countries The official statement pub
lished in The Times yesterday morning
made it certain that he has not acted Of
ficially as an archbishop or at the in
stance of the papal court.
1t is equally certain that he has been
working for the Intervention of the Pope
individually. and it Is said that he be
lieved at first that he could succeed
through his intimate relationship with
the Administration.
The statement was made by an author
ity well informed in Catholic politics last
night that although the archbishop was
unquestiOnably acting without authority
in his negotiations with the kitchen cabi-
net of this Administration. there would
have been a reward for him If he had
succeeded. 1t is thought certain that he
would have received the red hat
There was failure, however. instead of
success. 1t was stated last night that
he is TO so TO Rome Immediately. One OF
the rumors circulated as TO the cause of
this visit is that the Vatican is displeased
with the efforts he has been making.
Another was that even now there may be
some message from this country TO Rome
regarding possible mediation between
Spain and Cuba, after the ultimatum OF
the United States is given today Il
is thought more likely that this Is the
secret of his trip.

The Issue.

When on the morning of February 16,
the country learned that the Maine had
been blown UP and its gallant crew
massacled through Spanish treachery.
the American Congress and peo-
pie were asked to be calm and sus-
pend Judgment until the facts could be
ascertained. They were assured that
the President was wise, brave. and pa
triotic. and could be depended upon to
see that the national interests. dignity.
and honor would be earnestly and fear
lessly preserved and maintained.
From that day to this. through all the
delays, suspected suppressions, ap-
parent intentions to surrender the posi-
tion imposed by the evidence, and al
legged Executive efforts to treat the mas
sacre first as an accident" and then as
an incident" the friends. supporters
and organs of the Administration have
piped the same monotonous tune. One
and all, they have daily and hourly de-
cIared that the subject of this outra-
geous Spanish crime against America
and against civilization was safe in the
hands Of the American President

Perhaps from the fact that Wheeler
now calls on her rarely. she realized that
she had been forsaken for the girl by
her side.
Just as Wheeler's home could be seen
dimly through the trees, Mildred drew a
revolver from her pocket and shot her
rival through the head. Then she put
