It is asserted that the pension policy

be no reopening of cases except on the

sad things are predicted for Sweden
and Norway within the year. Nothing
less than war, it is asserted, cam be the
result of the long-continued agitation,
and if matters are going as fast as some
Of the Norwegians themselves say, EN-
peror William will have a chance to
make good his threat to teach Norway
a lesson in humility and loyalty. There
are two prime causes of disagreement.
One country wants free trade, the other
protection. Norway insists also upon an
independent and separate department OF
foreign affairs, which of course the
Swedish monarchy would find confusing
and troublesome. An effort to settle the
disagreement by commission or arbitra-
tion has failed dismally, and hence the
dire mutterings of war.

There is society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals in Paris, and it
has begun to annoy the fine women who
wear diamond-studded live tortoises as
articles Of personal adornment. Women
and jewellers say the little turtles suffer
nothing from being set with gems or
from being worn in the hair or at the
corsage. and the fashion, forsooth, shall
endure. The most exasperating feature
about it all is the calm assertion that
this bit Of fantastic folly was imported
from America. just as if we hadn't been
reading for weeks that the tortoises
were but the most recent Partisan fad,
the successors of the beetles and cham
eleons of which Partisan bellies had be-
come tired

The city of Holyoke having voted at

praised by the city at s2,2O0.0OO. 1t
doesn't appear that the company is dis
inclined to sell. but it is certain that

speech in the senate was his emphatic
dismissal of the phantasy of interna-

The international alliance for prayers
for the conversion of England to the
Roman Catholic faith, is one of the Curl
Gus movements of the time. The pro-
ject, which was originated by Cardinal
Vaughan, was sanctioned and blessed
by the pope and inaugurated at Christ
mas. in the Church of st. Sulpice. in
Paris, wher the archconfraternity Of
Our Lady of Compassion was formed.
Similar fraternities for prayer are de-
signed to be organized throughout
France, England Australia and the
United States The French hierarchy
has taken up the cause with eXtraor-
binary zeal, so that fraternities are al
ready in process Of formation in many
dioeeses. Appeal to Catholics of Canada
and the United States has been made
and it is reasonable TO expect that the
side Of the water. Apparently. there is
no direct papal command to engage in
this work, so that whatever is done will
have the appearance Of spontaneity and
voluntaldness, and pastoral letters on
the subject may be rarer in America
than in Europe. The extinction of the
traditional hostility to Catholics in Eng
land and the recent efforts Of Leo XIII
to bring the Anglican church into recon
citation with the papacy, have paved
the way for this international concert OF
prayer for the return OF the United
Kingdom to the church Of which she
had been accounted a member till 1884,
when Henry VIII was styled "head Of
the church and the pope's authority in
England was abolished. This latest en-
terprise may be said to be as severe a
test Of the efficacy of prayer" as was
ever devised under the system of So
called Christian science.

A DANGEROUS SIDEWALKS.

Pedestrians who have occasion to
use the portion of Crystal street side
walk near Main, are indignant at its
condition. During the recent storm the
wind blew the snow across the walk for
a space of about 80 feet, and it was
never cleaned off, When the thaw
came it was horrible walking, and now
it has frozen and is in such shape as
to be menace to public safety.

Cornell University has 1890 students
as against 1863 last year. The strenuous
supporters of college athletics lay this
fact side by side with the decrease Of
students at Yale. the present year, and
remark that the Cornell crew badly van

Interest in athletics at Holy Cross Col

worth, physical instructor Manager
Toohig has received an invitation from
the B. A. A., inviting the college to enter
the games to be held in Mechanics Hall,
Boston, Feb. 5. 1t is very probable a

be entered in the mile invitation Man

Inasmuch as neither the Williams nor
the Williams faction had ma
iority of the sixty legal members of the
democratic state committee, it becomes
all the more puzzling to decide which
was the regular committee and which
the "rump" that was "organized' or
disorganized in Boston, Saturday 1t
does appear, however, that the antis
had the more delegates, the figures be-
ing 2S to 25 for the Williams true
blues. Yet even this is in dispute 1t
is said, moreover, that the antis were
acting under the advice of Richard
Olney and to the extent that they fol-
lowed his instructions, the presumption
is that they conformed to the legal re-
quirements just as they seem to have
conformed to precedent. 1t is interest
ing to note that such Worcester county
members as attended the meeting
f1ocked with the antis George Fred has
never aroused much enthusiasm up

Turkey and Crete have been quite
eclipsed by the whirl of excitement
caused by the German descent upon
China, and no sooner had apprehensions
been quieted by England's announce
ment that she was not going in for land
grabbing in Asia, but would fight if need
be for unobstructed trade with China,
than a fresh alarm sounded from an
other quarter. This time it is Africa, and
it is said that the English are now more
enraged with France than at
anw other previous time for a
generation. 1t is all because of
the perseverance of French ex-
ploring parties in the Nile region, where
there has been open encroachment upon
the recognized British sphere of infiu-
enee." Whether the troops that have
been ordered to Egypt are designed to
posed to be favored with the active
friendship of King Menelik of Abyssin-
ia, or TO reinforce the Anglo-Egyptian
expedition into the Soudan is a matter
Of doubt at present. But the appear
ances are that the latter enterprise is
to be pressed with more vigor than Of
late, and the complete redemption Of
Khartoum hastened. Meanwhile it is Of
interest to note that the Turkish army
still remains in Thessaly, and the cloth
ing that has been sent for the relief Of
the shivering Greeks is currently re-
ported to have been appropriated by
the Turkish soldiery, who in conse-
quence are enjoying unwonted warmth
and comfort in the face of winters
frost and snow.

1t may be inferred from the second APP
peal of the United States government
for money, food and clothing for the re-
lief of the suffering Cubans, that those
ecstatic patriots who nave been furious

not swooping down on the island and
wrestling it from Spain, feel that they
have done their whole duty in shouting.
Nobody is disposed to doubt that they

Grief-Stricken Russian Jew Family
 Arrive in This City.

Grief Stricken Russian Jew Family Arrive in This City.
 Mrs. Harris Sentrowitch, a Jewish emigrant coming from Whitechapel, London, arrived in this city yesterday morning with her seven-months-old baby in her arms, and was given in the charge of some of her countrymen and women.
 She with her husband, who was a painter and paper hanger by trade, left their home to try their fortune in the western world, so highly spoken of by returned travellers. By saving and scraping enough money was raised to pay their passage across. Landing at Montreal, the couple crossed the border into this country, heading for Meriden, where Mrs. Santrowitch's brother lived at 177 Center street.
 At Montpelier, Vt, where the train upon which the couple were, at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, the hus- band aligthed to get luncheon for his wife and child. Before he had com pleted the purchase, the train had started. Santrowitch started to catch the rapidly moving train, but fell un- der the wheels of one of the coaches and was killed before the eyes of his wife, who was looking out of the win dow to see what had become ~of him. The train was stopped while the wife rushed to the side of her mangled hus- band. Their effects were taken from the train, as she decided to stay there until her husbands remains could be shipped to this city.
 When the grief stricken wife arrived in this city, with no one to greet her or even understand her, she was taken to the Associated Charities, where Wolf Levi soon heard her sorrowful story. She was then given into the care of some of the kind-hearted Rus sian Jews, who also buried the body of the man yesterday afternoon
