ARCHBISHOP MAY BE 0UsTED
of Catholic Church in
Sanffnro.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. Glowing
to the strong animosity shown by the arch
bishop of Santiago during the war. more
than a hundred prominent Cubans to-day
presented a petition to General Wood pray
ing that representations be made to the
Vatican for his removal and for the ap-
pontment of Father Luis MustelIer. canon
of the church here, as his successor. Father
Mustellier has sympathy for the Cubans
and is well liked in the United States Ly
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland
Strong representations have been made
by Father Mustellier to General Wood re-
garding the status of the church in the
province. He stated that the property held
amounted to more than sufficient to cover
all the ecclesiastical expenses. and even to
contribute to the state besides. He has also
proposed a scheme for the establishment
of parochial primary schools under church
management.
Little doubt is expressed here that the
archbishop will be removed. as. with his
connivance, much church property has been
removed surreptitiously since the Ameri-
can occupation.

the last ten years he had kept a small
stand at Broadway and Nineteenth street.
He was familiar figure there, and came
to have bowling acquaintance with many
wealthy men.

called. Often he spoke of his love for the
carnation- He always wore one himself;
poor as he was. he kept one from his stock
fo- his own buttonhole

missed him for n week He was ailing,
and remained in his lodging house nearly
all the time. Yesterday morning he was
found dead in his room

theaters in Germany gave no percentage

posed on them was to buy the score. The
price OF the score was fixed in each special
case between the theater and the author,
and varied according to the population OF
the town and the success expected. Once
the score was bought, the theater had no
further obligation toward the author. Wag-
ner usually got from $40 to $50 for score.

allowed to heat very slowly. Quick heat
ing would harden the meat and prevent the
juices from freely flowing out. The meat
must not be put into water and washed
before it is cut, as even the immersion for
so short time will draw out some of the

1t should instead be carefully wiped with
a clean. damp cloth. After cutting the meat
into small pieces and cracking the bones,

Land of the Lord white Elephant.

From the Pail Mall Magazine
The Burmese will sacrifice any prospect
of money-making to go to feast These
are called pives. and often the entertain
ment is elaborate. I remember going to
one in Upper Burma. There was a good
deal OF dancing, but neither the host nor
his guests danced: that would have been
undignified. The dancers were paid, and
they twirled lazily or jumped excitedIy as
occasion required. Most of the time how
ever. was spent in chatter and smoking.
Burmese are Industrious. They start srnok-
ing at the early age of g. and they smoke
themselves into the next world. Girls smoke
quite as arduously as the men. and as the
cigars are very big. many a pretty mouth
is strained to accommodate a giant cheroot.

The father is a millionaire, and unlike

extravagance, because the daughters would

most women do. an auction is held in the

Sometimes the auction is very amusing,
and the manner of the sale shows wom-
ans cunning. When I was there last a
dress which cost 800 was knocked down to
one of the sisters for $15- There were no
other bidders. The auctioneer was slightly
disappointed but she didn't know that the
purchaser had entered into an agreement
with her other sisters not to bid against
them on other articles IL they wouldn't bid
against her on the dress.
