A PATRIOTIC PRELATE.
What Mgr. ChnppcIIe Proposes to Do
in the West Indies.

WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-Archbishop p.
l.. Chappelle, whom the Pope has appointed
papal delegate to the West Indies, has re-
turned from his extended visit to Europe
and is stopping here a short time OH his
way to New Orleans. The archbishop ex-
poets very soon to enter on his work in
Porto Rico. Later he will go to Santiago
and then to Havana. Discussing the work
in prospect, the archbishop to-day said:
MY mission is one of priest and of an
American citizen as well. While striving to
watch over the religious interests of the
Catholic Church, helping the bishops in the
work of reorganization, / shall use my ut
most influence to help the government of
the United States to succeed in the work of
political and social reconstruction. l am,
indeed. profoundly convinced that upon that
will depend. in large measure, the social
political and economic welfare of the in
habitants of these islands.
II saw President Mckinley this morning
and had very satisfactory interview with
him. All the relations between the church
in Spain and in the two islands ceased so
far as the former exercised any authority
often appointed from Madrid, and Spain ex-
ercised great influence and authority both
directly and indirectly. AL this is now
ended, and for the present the priests and
laity come directly under the supervision of
the church ar Rome l retain my position
as archbishop of New Orleans. but 1 am
not going to Porto Rico In that capacity
The islands have not been placed under the
jurisdiction of an American diocese. What
changes may come and what may be done
are all problems OF the distant future and
1 cannot discuss them now.

TWO Damage Suits.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Nov 26.-The P, c.,
G. &, st. l.. Railway Company was made
defendant here to-day in two suits for dam
ages. One, which may result in a test of
the interchangeable mileage question, as to
how far the rights of the railroads extend
in this matter, is that of A. s. Street, a
wel-known local travelling man. Some
tempted to secure an exchange ticket on his
mileage book but the agent informed him
the supply was exhausted, and that the
conductor would take the proper, mileage
but the conductor refused to take the nile
age and put him off at Camden. His suit is
for $1,000 damages The second suit is that
of G. c. Smith who asks $4,000 damages
for personal injuries while in the employ Of
the company.

Finding His Level.

''Take your hand off me. don't care to
be paved all over by street railway con-
ductor every time 1 take car"
The person thus protesting was short,
fat, important looking and nattily dressed
even to gloves and patent feathers. He
had taken Woodward car near the rail-
road crossing and was headed for some
downtown business that did not require
his presence before 1890 His objection
was to having the conductor support him
when the car started, and his tone was
even more expressive than his language
''All right, sir, answered the conductor,
who would evidently have liked to say sew
eral other things were it not that the ques-
ton of bread and butter was involved.
When he removed his hand the natty little
fat man went backward along the aisle,
franticaily missing the straps for which he
reached and vainly striving to have his
feet keep pace with the momentum of his
body. His immediate finish was in the lap
the conductor for permitting the car to
start before he was ready denouEcing the
service in general, and called the hilarious
passengers a pack of jibbering idiots.
Then it dawned upon the stout woman
that the tidy little fat man was lingering
the lap of winter. Get off of here" she
shouted, and to enforce the order she
dropped her knees to produce an inclined
plane, shot out her strong arms like foot
ball player on the defensive and sent the
complainant upon the Stats so hard that his
hat flew off and his coat punched about
his shoulders. He yelled TO stop the car
and went out looking as though he had
been rolled under a brush harrow, cover
ing his retreat with the threat that the
company would have to pay dearly for
such abuse.

cisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City
and Omaha; the Hopkins circuit, with
houses in New Orleans, Memphis. Atlanta
and Chicago, with affiliations in Cincinnati

combinat ton, which is the strongest ever eff

of the entry into vaudeville of the Colum-
bia Theater, of St. Louis, and its sister the
alter, the Great Northern, of Chicago, under
the same management. BY the terms of the
agreement. the latter house will change its
policy from vaudeville and become a stock
or combination house, while the former will
continue in the vaudeville line"
1t is stated that the papers concentrating
the deal were signed in Chicago to-day, but
that no announcement would be made of the
fact until after the election of officers to-
morrow. AS the result of this combine,
contracts with vaudeville companies can be
made for from twenty to forty-three weeks.
This will enable the parties to 1t to secure
the finest talent from abroad. Colonel Hop

the local theatrical field.
