this she spends twenty times as much

Miss Gould is a studious woman. She
has one Of the finest libraries In the

fact that she has chosen every book
in It herself and has arranged them to
suit her own fancy. She is very fond
Of poetry. Mrs. Russell Sage is per-

her father. She is today devoted to
his memory. and says TO her friends

There has been notable increase
In railroad freight rates between the
west and east lately. This may not
at once be good for commerce, but it
shows that there is growing stiffness
IN trade generally. Money that has
been in hiding for several years is be-
ginning to come out to get the benefit
of temporary rising prices, and it is
not unlikely that en- era Of war time
railroad rates may rule for while.

each man divided his roast venison and
corn dodger with his dogs. II grew
bitter cold and very little sleep wa.
had. At daylight they began to scout
around and shortly a wild burst Of
trumpets from the pack showed they
were RAINING on sight.
See, look on the top Of yon rock!
Jacobs was right-it's white"
Although there was no sun 1t was
perfectly clear. and there was the wolf
seen through the thin, Yintry air. The
rock was bare, and the animal stood as
II carved in stone-over three feet high
at the shoulder. The dead white hair
was bristling with rage, and the tail
lashing like an angry cats; one could
see the huge jaws and iron teeth clash.
'ItS nigh three hundred yards, but
let him have It."
Four rifles cracked, and the bullets
sang, but the white woh" was gone.
The yelling Of the dogs was plainly
heard.
Excited and eager. all hands charged
the rocks. II was a hard climb. They
reached the top, and the wolf was gone.
Inside Of an hour the dogs found the
trail. The dogs seemed confident and
ran at racing speed. The top OF the
ridge was covered with a scant growth
Of scrub oak, and on the river side was
sheer rock down sixty feet to the wa
ter. Right on a point of rocks that
jutted out into the river the white
wolf' came to bay. Kemble plainly
saw huge, gaunt animal covered with
bristling white hair. The red eyes
glowed with fire, and for an instant he
lost his head. The dogs were getting
the worst of it, and he fred. A sud
den flash, and he plainly saw the wolf
disappear over the face Of the cliff.
All rushed to the spot. There was
not a trace. At the foot Of the cliff
the river was open. No splash was
heard. For an hour they watched,
and then made a circuit, but the dogs
seemed Indifferent and made no effort.
And this was the last Of Jim Jacobs
white wolf" II was never seen or
heard Of again in northwestern Penn
sylvania. There were skeptics, but
they were silenced by the fate of the
hunters. Not one died a natural death !
nor long after, and Jim Jacobs escaped
the many perils Of the wilderness for
thirty years to be crushed to death on
the Erie railway in 1865.

HEIFER WAS RESTLESS.
And She Made 1t Exceedingly Lively for

Time.
The other night the big clock on
the city hall tower had Just sounded
the hour of midnight and all was peace
and quietness at union station. Just
then, however, a half-grown heifer
which was stabbed in the milk shed Of
the station decided to liFen up mat
tiers, says the Pittsburg Leader. The
immature bovine for some reason or
other became disconnected with its sur
roundings and wandered out into the
yards. Once free, the frisky animal
betrayed startling pToclivities as to a
train dodger and proceeded to give a
number of freight engineers heart
trouble by skipping nimbly back and
forth across the tracks with an evil
dent desire to flirt with the headlights
OF the different locomotives. firing OF
this, the animal developed an exceed
ingly bad temper and proceeded to
chase everybody in sight up and down
the tracks. For a while pandemonium
reigned in the erstwhile peaceful yards
and the employees organized themselves
into an offensive and defensive body
with the idea of capturing the now
Infatuated bovine. Among the en-
ployes were several who had recently
returned from Mexico. where they wit
messed several bull fights. The yard
master was one of these, and he took
command, with one Of the station
masters assistants as lieutenant. The
running back and forth of the animal
made the operation OF freight trains
through the yard dangerous and ac-
cordingly all the signals were blazing
forth the danger signal These red
discs did not tend to pacify the heifer,
which gaily charged at them as they
appeared. After some trouble the
yardmaster succeeded in rounding up"
the animal in the roundhouse, where,
after a few Intellectual attempts to butt
the big locomotives of :he rails, the
heifer quieted down and was secured
and returned to the milkshed.
An amusing feature of the perform
ance resulted through the appearance
of 4 wandering minstrel, who stated
that he could quiet the animal by sing
ing to II. The employees gave him a
chance, but no sooner had he struck up
the first bars of "On the Banks Of the
Wabash" than the enraged bovine
charged and chased him into the tun-
nel.

FUTURE OF CUBAN CHURCH
1t Will Eventually Come Under American
Jurisdiction.
Archbishop Ireland Says, However.
Made Among the Clergy.

Chicago, September 22.-Archbishop Ire
land has given the first definite informa-
ton regarding the policy of the Roman
Catholic Church in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. It includes approval of
the administration plan of leaving the
church question out of peace discussions,
ard announces that the church in the
islands will conform to new conditions.
He says: When the dominion of the
United States is fully established the
church will come under the same laws that
govern in this country and be separated
from the state, the same as it IS now in
America"
Whether the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of
Cardinal Gibbons shall be extended to
cover at least a part of Americas new pos
sessions. according to Archbishop Ireland,
is still a matter for the holy father to de-
eide. and at present no American prelate
knows what will be done.
The archbishop declared that the pres
ent personnel OF the clergy in the islands
would be undlsturbed.
There will be no commission from Amer
lea to investigate the church in Cuba,
Porto Rico or the Philippines" he said.
THE Spanish priests Will not be requested
to retire, for the reason that they, better
than any one else, know what is needed
under the new conditions, and can bring
about a change much more easily than any
commission that might be appointed. The
clergy in the islands is made up of men
Of intelligence and tact. They will at
tend TO their own work and do 1t well.
None of our priests or bishops could speak
the language of the people, and would be
at loss to do as much as the men now
at the head of the church You may say
that the priests of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines will be in accord with
American IDEAS and progress, and they will
be left to bring about the necessary change
