Not long ago story was extensively
circulated through Europe to the effect
that the Vatican was depositing an
enormous reserve fund in the chief con-
tinental banks. Later the additional
information was conveyed through the
press of Europe that this sum had been
transferred to the Bank of England by
the holy see. and was said to reach
e5, 600. OOO Although similar stories
have been circulated about the sultan Of
Turkey and the emperor Of Austria and
even of the queen of Spain. this particu-
lar announcement created no little stir
in political and financial circles, mas
much as the holy father is a shrewd
observer OF the movement of events
as well as a cautious factor in them.
vestigate the matter. and the we'll
known reticence of Cardinal Rampolla.
the secretary of state at the Vatican, no
doubt deepened the suspicion. But a
perfectly reliable English authority,
having taken up the matter, obtained
finally a statement from Mgr. Stoner
for The Financial News that the story
was without the slightest foundation.
He states on behalf of the holy see that
none of the papal finances have left
Rome and no money at all has been
placed in the Bank of England. An
other fact comes out in this statement,
and it is that the moneyed resources OF
the Vatican have been enormously over
stated. either for merely sensational
purposes or from ignorance of the facts

Two condemned Negroes Placed lm Sine
Death Cell. PnbIlc taanaIng FrIday.

Unless a reversal by the civil
court of appeals is announced be-
fore noon next Friday. the first le-
gal hanging in the Territory will
take place at Ardmore.
The condemned men are Dennis
Nolen and Charles Bias, both
negroes.
They were put in the death cell,
or dungeon, this morning, and the
death watch set over them, the lat
ter being Deputies John Hammer.
Jr, and Sam Harper.
The scaffold plans which
were drawn by Architect c. E.
Troutman and forwarded to Wash
ington, have been approved by the
department and returned.
Today Contractor Corlew began
work on the gruesome structure.
1t will be erected in Frank Frens-
ley's pasture north of town, in a
depression hidden from any resi-
dence, but perfectly public and
where thousands, who will doubt
less be here, can see it.
Dennis Nolen, who was formerly
preacher, devotes much time to
prayer, and stuhbOrnly maintains
his innocence. He believes the
good Lord has forgiven him for all
past wrongs he ever committed
and that his future home will be
heaven. His crime was black
one-the killing of his wife with
an ak as she lay asleep. The prin-
cipal witness against Nolen was
his son, a boy of eleven years, who
witnessed the deed.
Bias is a coal black negro and OF
more brutal type than Nolen
His crime was the killing of anoth-
er negro named Wright, at Wild
Horse. jealousy is said to be the
cause which prompted the murder
He also realizes that his hours OF
this earth are drawing to a close
and a wild, vague expression or
his face betokens that he fear!

An Enraged Cow.

In recent purchase of cattle,
which arrived at the oil mills, was
a COW fresh in milk. Mr.. Moore
decided to try the COW for family
use, and put her in the lot at the
house. One of his little boys
chanced around in the lot, when
the cow deliberately proceeded to
toss him up on the roof of an ad-
jacent shed, rolling from that to
the ground. The little fellow
called for help. His brother, a
few years his senior, ran to assist
him. Before he could reach the
lot the cow had caught the younger
boy on her horns and threw him
against building and then tried
to gore him to death. While thus
engaged, the COW was dispatched
with an ak by the elder brother,
the blow telling her to the earth.
The boys then escaped, the young
er with only a few bruises. The
rescuer is under IL years of age.

Lieutenant Hobson appears to have
been kissed into deprecating condition
Just before sailing from San Francisco
for Hongkong, for he gave out writ.
ten statement. saying that the newspa-
pers had exaggerated the kissing bust
ness enormously and that his own con-
duct was governed by delicacy and gal
lantry. This takes the question out Of
practical endurance into metaphysics
How much kissing should gentleman S
cbivalry and delicacy compel him to
undergo? If a pretty girl expresses a
public desire to kiss a man, what is be
to do and how often is he to do it? An
other question of a scientific nature is
suggested, Is everlasting exhaustive!
And this interests the government,
which doesn' t want its officers weakened
by overkissing. Why does not some
enterprising publisher get Lieutenant
Hobson's experiences, physical, emo
tional and technical? The Medical Rec
ord warns American heroes that in a
recent case of kissing for a wager the
lips of one of the contestants became
paralyzed.

Dangerous PractIce.

The practice of riding bicycles
anywhere and everywhere in town
is. we believe, governed to a cer
tain extent by an ordinance which
may or ros be enforced. Only the
other night bike was scorching
along without either bell or lamp,
after dark, on the railroad, and by
a narrow margin averted collision
with a pedestrian. That the biker
was in the wrong and knew it
seemed apparent by his prompt dis
appearance. Would it not be well
to read up on the ordinance regu-
lating bicycle riding before doing
much scorching?

IRISH ONLY N NAME.

Boston, May % A dispatch to
the Herald from Glasgow .ays:
The shippers, under officers and
crew have been definitely selected
for the Shamrock, and all told
they will make ffty.two men.
Archie Hogarth will be in charge,
with Captain Wripge as assistant
sailing master. A sizing up of
the crew shows it to be composed
of twenty. mine English sailors and
twent-one Scotch.
At this cabling neither Sir
Thomas Upton nor the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club people know
definitely the exact day of the
launching of the Shamrock,
though from good authority it is
stated it will be on June 9th or
9th, just two days ahead of the
Columbia. There is no question
that confidence is gaining here,
the present belirf il that the
Shamrock will make the bast bid
for the cup of any challenger.
