One of the Great Capltals,

According to the Washington Times,
Washington has within the last two
years suddenly become one of the grcat
capitals of the world. This Is recognized
and acknowledged in diplomatic circles
Before the Spanish war this city had on.
ly little standing in the diplomatic world.
Statesmen were sent over here from the
capitals of Europe as kind of punish
ment. No diplomat who had any amb
tion 10 make a name for himself would
accept the Washington assignment if he
could help 1t. The leading nations of the
world had only a passing interest in what
the Washington government thought up
on any subject. But today change has
taken place.
Diplomatically speaking, Washington
has been admitted to the inner diplomatic
circles and ranks in Importance from cv.
cry point of view with London. Paris.
Berlin. st. Petersburg and Vienna.
Washington has certainly expanded in
diplomatic Importance. In short time
it will undoubtedly be discovered that the
city has grown and developed in every
direction. The prediction is made by
close observers that the population of this
town will be more than doubled within
the next five years. 1t is safe to say that
no more second and third rate men vii!
be sent to Washington to represent their
respective countries at the American cap.

Work OF X-RayS,

Every possible effort IL being made to
save tho llto Of William Butler, an In
mate Of st. JOsephs Inlu trial School a t
Clayton. Professor Brown of Newark
College went to he home on Saturday in
order by the X Rays to try and !urate tho
bullet. Drs. Cobb OF Clayton and Dwight
Of Smyrna assisted Professor brown.
The Mays showed that the bullot,
which WAS from thirty two cnlibro revol-
yer, had struck tho loft collar bone at tho
outer oGge and pas sed inward under tho
broas; and lodged In tho psricnrdial cavl-
ty. a sac covering tho hear. An N-ruy
photograph was taken Of the hoart and
section adj jacent Saturday evening.
v hon Drs. Cobb and Dwight had first
examined the pnttcns they found the peril
cnrdlal cavity TO filled with blood That they
could hear the vital fluid swish about, rs
tho heart leat, and at first feared that it
would bo necessary to tap the cavity to re-
move the blood from about the life organ.
Tho N-rays photograph showed the bull
let to be about twoinchcs from the surface
Of tho body and apparently in the lowest
part Of tho pericardium: directly beneath
the boint of tho heart and about one-half
an inch from the heart. The bullet passed
and penetrated eleven inches OF the
tissue and went through tho upper lobe of
tho left lung
Tho revelations made by the X-rays
We're truly wonderful, thoy also showed
that nothing could he done for the young
man. An operation is out Of the question
for as soon q, air reaches the blood arout
tho heart. blood poisoning will set in MS
the churning il is receiving has brought
an unhealthy condition
ThS physicians have, in the case OF this
v1Hr: nun, experienced the snme trouble

be- Whom turned on his sido his temper.

dr0nr /. .m 70 10 80 degrees at once and lie
has to ba turned back.
Ii Is presumed that the bullet turns
around in the cavity when the body is
turned. For this reason he must bo kept
absolutely quiet.

BISHOP MONO
HAN ASSISTED
At the Conservation of the
Bishop of Havana at
Washington Yes
~. terday.

Washington, February 5.-The
Bishop of Havana, Right Rev. Mgr.
Sbarretti, was consecrated this
morning in st. Aloysius Church in
the Jesuits' Parish. The services
were the most interesting and elab-
crate ever held in a Catholic church
in Washington, and we're celebrat-
ed with solemn pontifcal high mass.
Hundreds of people were turned
away from the door, unable to gain
ever standing room in this, the
largest Catholic church in the city.
Monsignor Martinelli, the Papal
Delegate, ofiiciated as consecator,
assisted by Bishop Curtis, co-ad-
jutator to the Cardinal, and Bishop
Monohan, of Wilmington. Other
officers of the mass were, assistant
priest, Rev. DR.. Rocker, secretary
to the apostolic delegation; deacon.
Rev. Father George Daugherty, OF
Philadelphia; deacons of honor,
Rev. Dr. Pace, Revs. Father Bar
rett and Kennedy.
The sermon of the day was
preached by Rev. DR.. Kennedy, a
former classmate OF the Bishop,
now, stationed in Philadelphia.
Fifty other priests were in the
sanctuary, the barefoot monks, the
white-cow.cd Dominicans and the
priests of Holy Cross. in their scar
let robes, forming an unique con-
trast to the prelates at the altar,
who were vested in white satin and
gold bullian.
This conservation was the first
ever performed by the Papal Dele
gate in America, and especially in
teresting from the fact that Bishop
Sbarrctti will assume the response
bilitv of one of the most important
positions within the gift Of the
Pope.
At the beginning of the mass,
Bishop Sbarrctti knclt at the feet
of the consecrator and recited an
act of faith in the Catholic Church,
and took the oath as follows: 81
Donatus A. Sbarretti, elected to the
province of Havana, Cuba, from this
hour hencelorward will be obedient
to the blessed Peter the Apostle,
the Holy Roman Church and to our
Holy Fathcrthc Pope, Leo XIII and
to his successors. | shall not sell
nor give, nor mortgage the possess
sions belonging to my mensa, nor
shall | ALLEVIATE them in any manner
and if through me any such aliena-
ton should occur wish by the very
fact to incur the punishments con-
tained in the constitution concern
ing the matter.
During the ceremony his Grace
anolntcd the Bishop with holy oil
and presented him with gold ring
set with an amethyst surrounded
by diamonds. Then he gave him a
mitre of gold and gloves of white,
emblcmatic of purity and strength.
At the oifertory, Bishop Sbarretti
knelt at the feet of the 'consecrator
and made an offering of two loaves
of bread, two miniature barrels of
wine and two large wax candles,
After the ceremony the clergy
were entertained at a banquet given
by the Jesuitcs at Gonzaga Hall.

Congressmen with Rare Names.

Bible names are quite numerous in con.
grcss. There are Nehemiah Sperry Of
Connecticut and Ebenczer Hill of the
some state, with Elijahs and Da7ids and
other Biblical names galore. Senator
Beveridge's middle name is jeremiah.
This congress. by the way, is noticea.
bic for the odd names borne by its men,
bers. Congressman Breazealc Of I.ouisi-
ana rrjoces in The name of Phanor. and
Knox Of Massachusetts has Shadrach, of
fiery furnace fame, Incorporated as one
Of his cognomeus. or course everybody
knows that IIanua's full name Is Marcus
Alonzo, but think Of Roderick Dhu Suth-
erland. fernando De Soto Money, MIC
ccnas Benton. Romco Hoyt Frcer or
Thctus Wiibrcttc Sims. The first name
OF Congressman Capron of Rhode Island
Is Adm, while Congressman Alexander
of New York has the romantic name of
De Alva. all of which goes to show that
somr men achieve distinction despite the
: fact that they are weighted heavily at
the very start of their race in life

"FAIST. "

Of the many plays now before the
public none is more pure in thought
truer in its teachings Of humanity,
greater in charm and more well
come with each recurring visit
than Lewis Morrison $ "Faust,"
which is now making its farewell
tour through the country. Its ex-
quisite melodies and enduring fame
have made it known in every house,
hold and we doubt not, but that
every seat will be filled when it will
make it's final exit from the local
stage shortly. 1t comes to the
Opera House on Saturday alter
noon and night.

Mndern WarS

The history Of modern wars shows that
as rule their tcrminations are Sudden
and unexpected. and their conclusions
Illogical aud compromising. This Is in
part due to the growing moral aversion of
war itself. 1t is regarded as Il relapse
toward barbarism. The fact is in other
parts due to the dsplacing and unsettlng
effect OF persistent war upon other inter.
es,s and upon other subjects than those
direct, concerned in war and with it,
