It is said that the Holy See is entirely cut of debt, the indebtedness that ex- isted at the death of Plus TX. having been paid by the present Pope. The Vatican budget shows every year a slight surplus. It is not certain how much has been received by Leo XIII for his private benefit, but the value of the presents made to him during his reign is believed to be quite a2OO0,00O. Plus TX may have received more, but this is difficult to judge, as he gave away his presents as freely as he re- ceived them. Leo XIII, on the contra ny, has kept them all, and they are so many that they will perhaps be collect ed and placed in 8 museum. He has received, for instance, twenty-eight ti- aras adorned with precious stones, 319 crosses of gold set with diamonds and other gems, 1,2O0 chalices in gold and silver. eighty-one rings, of which one given by the sultan is worth e20,0OO sixteen pastoral slaves of gold, set with nrecious stones, Ss4 ostensoria in gold and silver, seven statues in gold and silver. nearly 1000 objets dart and a very large diamond, presented by Pres ident Kruger, and worth eSOO,O0O.

They can get up some great stories in France in real life as well as in novels It appears that thirty-seven years ago young Frenchman named Alfred Page, then eighteen years old was driving along a country road with his family, when a pistol went off, slightly wounding his mother Alfred sprang from the carriage and rushed toward the wood beside the road, where he fell wounded. He was arrested on charge of attempted parricide, and was charg- ed with having wounded himself to di- vert suspicion. In spite of his mothers evidence in his favor he was sentenced to the galleys for life. After fifteen years he was pardoned and given a grant of land in penal settlement, where by his industry he amassed some mill lions of francs. And now he has re- turned to his native town and demands a new trial.

It doesn't pay to be too piggish. Ger many's discrimination against our pigs and cattle has inflicted on her some thing like a meat famine. The price of all varieties of this commodity has ad- vanced so much as to impose a serious hardship on the poorer classes and greatly inconvenience those who are better off. Within the last three years the importation of horned cattle has fallen off more than one-third, while that of swine has almost entirely ceas- ed. Home breeders have been unable to supply the deficit. and famine prices now rule. They have no stock to meet the demand, and the interdictions in tended for their advantage have done them no good whatever.

A Maine man who recently experi- enced religion now goes about the State preaching for the reformation of sim ners, and the other day he was an- nounced to deliver sermon in school house in the town of Wayne, the home of the gunmaking Maxims. When he got to the schoolhouse there was only one man in the building. After waiting a while for the crowd to appear the evangelist declared to the audience of one that he should go on and preach just the same as if the room were crowded. So he did preach about an hour and half, and at the close he asked the lone listener to lead in prayer. The man looked puzzled, and then, fish ing out a little slate, wrote q am deaf and dumb and haven't heard blank word you said''

A Florida editor, describing a
tragedy in that state, says:
Like an assassin in the dark, with
stealthy, silent tread, %tiptoeing, he
approached the bedside where beau
ty slept in sweet innocence. Posing
himself above the silent, peaceful
form, he g1inned in devilish glee;
then, closing his eyes and gritting
his teeth, the keen bladed knife was
thrust into the warm, kind breast.
Not a word was uttered. He went
as he had come-silently, s%tealthily.
The deed was DONE

1t is unfortunate that the president of
the United States cannot take his own
people into his confidence and that they
have to learn nearly all they do learn
concerning the crisis between Spain
and their own country chiefly through
the cabled reports of letters of English
correspondents at Madrid to London pa
pers. 1t was through this roundabout
source that the people Of this country
discovered the following to be probably
the sun and substance of President Nc
Kinley's request to Spain: First, that
she withdraw her soldiers from Cuba
and grant an armistice until next fall;
next, that the period of armistice should
be devoted to negotiations looking to
the independence of Cuba.

Bank Notes In Bibles.

1t has happened moi infrequently
that wealthy people of eccentric
character have chosen to conceal a
portion of their money in the family
Bible, whera it has been discovered
by chance long after their decease.
A young nobleman who was in
financial difficulties some time since
had occasion to refer to the family
Bible for a date there recorded. In
so doing he came across a number
of Bank of England notes, amount
ing collectively to a considerable
sum, which more than met his liza
bilities. Then he recalled his moth
er's dying words that "help might
be found in the Bible when all other
sources failed" But he had paid
small heed to the injunction and
certaily ever dreamed of so practi-
cal a fulfllment of the words refer
red to.
A needy student purchased an in
teresting old Bible at a secondhand
BOOKSELLER soma years ago and was
delighted to discover bank notes to
the value of 81, 900 folded between
the sacred pages.
Another ancient Bible was found
to contain notes to the extent of
e700. This was owned by a prodigal
son, who lived for many years un-
conscious of the wealth in his pos
session. Strand Magazine.

If there is one fact dead sure beyond
any doubling it is that the Maine was
blown up by an act of Spanish treaoh-
cry. Everybody knows that, and no
humming or having or hairsplitting
will make it otherwise. A floating ex-
plosive may have been drifting around
there and accidentally" have come
against the ship and destroyed her,
somebody says. Yes, and the moon
might be made CT green cheese, but it
is not. The unfortunate point in con
n~ection with the explosion, however, is
that we cannot prove just who did the
foul deed. But it will be known in
time. A secret like that cannot be kept.

THE TOBACCO STATUS.
Casing Weather Needed to Bring
Down Hanging Crop.

The indications are much more fav-
orable now for a general movement of
the SO crop than any time since buy
ing commenced this season. Evident
ly the growers have been loosen
ing UP in their asking prices some
what for considerable tobacco has
been bought lately under the six cent
mark, which it seemed impossible to
do a few weeks ago, says The Wiscon-
sin Leaf Tobacco Reporter.
About all that is needed now to set
things going is casing weather of suf-
fcent duration to bring down the
hanging tobacco. There are plenty of
buyers ready to take the field when
ever they can gain an intelligent idea
of what the tobacco is like. Some even
haven't waited, and more sales have
been made of late than is generally
known, for buyers who are out have
not been idle by any means, though
the seal of secrecy was placed on their
transactions. Some offers are being
made on filler portions of the new
crop, but growers generally are not
disposed to separate them from the
crop. Old leaf is moving moderately
among packers. H. t. Hanson of

THN DAY OF ATONEMENT.
Jewish Festival, Feast of Yom Kip.
pur, Ends at Sundown.

Atonement Day, the Feast of Yom
Kippur, is being observed by Jewish
people today. The festival began at
sundown yesterday and lasts twenty
four hours. Meanwhile all but the
aged, young and weak are abstaining
from the use of all food and drink.
Atonement Day is the tenth day in
the Jewish New Year and marks the
close of a ten-day period in which the
members of the faith prepare to make
peace with all mankind, forgive their
enemies and repent their own sins. 1t
is expected that the Feast of Yom
Kippur shall not witness the setting OF
the sun on an enmity cherished by any
of the race.
Special services were held in the
Linden street temple last evening A
continuous service will be held there
and in other Jewish churches today.
The day will be almost wholly devoted
to prayer.
Stores and other places OF business
conducted by Jewish people will be
closed today
