a Republic.

Republic.
London, Jan. 15.-The Rome core-
spondent of the Daily Chronicle in
startling statement Saturday morning
quotes largely from an article in Civ
ilita Cattolica, which he declares is di-
rectly inspired by the vatican and the
pope. advocating as the solution of the
eternal question between the vatican
and the quirinal the establishment of
an italian republic.
The article, which is based on the
pope's Christmas allocution, declares
that the thing which stands opposed to
papal independence is not Italian unity,
but "the special and concrete form
wherein that unity is at present main
tanned, with results much more dis
astrous to the state than to the holy
see." 1t proceeds to assert that the CO.
existence of the vatican and the Italian
monarchy is impossible, and that one
or the other must go. 1t then suggests
the constitutions of Switzerland and
America as examples of "admira BILE and
glorious constitutions, true union of
nation and state, though differing from
that of Italy, which has produced moth
ing but weakness, misery and starva-
tion."
The article concludes: without the
aid of foreign bayonets the true Italy
will find for itself its own way and will
rise again, let us hope, from the ig-
nominy in which it now lies PROSTATE,
to true greatness"
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
asserts that this is can intentional reve-
lation to the outer world of the policy
actuating the inner mind of Cardinal
Rampolla, papal secretary of state" he
adds:
Probably there would be no truth in the
supposition that either Cardinal Rampolia
or the pope has any idea of even tenn
porary alliance with the republican party;
but yet they believe that. while peace with
the king is impossible, it might be possible
with republic. The reason for the ap-
pearance Of this astonishing pronounce
ment at the present moment is the belief
that not only the ministry, but the dynasty
itself is menaced more seriously than

STRICT BOARDING SCHOOL.
Three Callers Year at Twenty Win

utes n Call for Girl Students.
The young ladies Of the normal
school in Winona were lately thrown
into a furry of excitement, says the ST.
Paul (Ninn.) Dispatch. They were
called into one OF the recitation-rooms
and put through a rigid examination
about the number of callers each had
and a description Of each caller. They
were told that it was highly improper
to receive a caller from out of the city,
and that many of the young men of the
city were not proper persons With
whom to associate.
II was also considered highly i'm
proper to receive a call which was of
more than 20 minutes duration. In all
over dozen questions were required TO
be answered, all of which were in regard
to the subject of gentlemen callers.
A number CT rules were given to the
young ladies, which they were told they
must obey. Among them was one for
bidding the same young men to call
upon them more than three times a
year, and then the call must be purely
formal and not exceed Is or 20 minutes.
The young ladies were also requested
to furnish list of their callers and
their characters, and as to the general
subjects of conversation when calling
or riding, and If the landlady where
they boarded approved of the young
men. 1s-S-s-.-ssas.ss Eas-''''sTsas -,s.a--.--
Some of the young ladies are indig-
nant, and say they will not submit to
such rules, while others believe they are
all right, and propose 70 follow them.
