THE P0PE'S SUCCESSOR.
Sovereign Pontif Said to Have Indicated
Cardinal Girolamo Mario GottI
a5 His Choice.

ROME, Jan. LIT was asserted that
the pope, after the recent ceremony of
the holy door at st. Peters cathedral,
addressed his intimate encourage and
said:
II thank Divine Providence for grant,
ing me the grace of being able to cele-
brate this great function, and l wish for
my successor grandeur and a long
reign, to the greater glory of God.
my successor will be young, as COM
pared with my own age, and will have
time to see many glories of the papacy
and the church"
Later Leo clearly designated Cardinal
Girolamo Mario Gotti, perfect of the
congregation of indulgences ana sacred
relics, as his successor. Cardinal Gorti,
the famous Geonese monk, is man of
great piety and modesty. Now about
ga years of age, he mas always lived the
life Of an ascetic; and despite the dig

WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION.
the President-MiIes Given Prec-
dence Over Dewey.

WASHINGTON, Jan. AIT the White
House reception, ON New Years day,
about 3,354 guests passed down the line.
Mrs Mckinley was present, despite hei
feeble health. She remained in the blue
parlor only through the strictly official
section of the program, retiring then, as
had been previously arranged. With
the flush of excitement on her usually
pale face she looked bright and happy
as she led the cabinet procession down
the corridor with the president to the
blue room.
The official procession moved down
the stairs and through to the blue
parlor. where the receiving party was
to take its stand. Mrs. Mckinley bowed
and smiled to the little crowd of ia.
vored spectators who filled the end OF
the corridor to witness this opening act
of the days ceremonies. As she turned
into the blue room she kissed the lips of
her white gloved fingers to some OF the
children who waved their hands to her
from point of vantage near the door.
The troublesome question of prece.
dence between the army and navy was
settled in favor of the former, General
Miles leading the military contingent,
with Adiutant General Corbin at his
left side. After the army had passed in
review Admiral Dewey, with the vener-
able Admiral Melville on his arm, led
the line. Mrs. Dewey was wi III the re.
ceiving party and was escorted in on the
arm of Secretary Long.
The diplomatic corps, which headed
the list of guests, was always the show
feature of the reception. Lord Paunce.
fote, the British ambassador and dean
of tie corps, led the way. The display
of uniforms was brilliant, Turkish fez,
gilded orders of the continental powers,
the fur-trimmed tunics and high, pol
ished boots of the Russians, the queer,
sage green, gold encrusted uniforms of
the japanese and the ermine. trimmed
silken robes of the Koreans and Chi
nese all combined to form a picture of
unusual brilliancy.
Following these the American Off
cials, judges of the Supreme court, sem
ators and representatives, department
chief and the like, made longer if less
striking procession. The reception to
the general public concluded the fune-
tion.

A Room That Is Original.

The brown earthenware jugs that
certain brands of whiskies and cor
dials are put up in have been made
into very effective mantel and side
board ornaments by a young woman
with artistic instincts. The labels
have been washed of and the
Jugs splashed with yellow oil paint.
They tone in with the oak woodwork
of the dining room. There is no COM
bination prettier than blue and yellow,
and as the walls are blue there is a
dash of this shade in some of the jugs.
At any department store or china shop
the flower shoppers can be found. Ihat
is a Dresden china flower on large
cork. which is to be utilized when the
cork of bottle is drawn. 1t is very
rare that the cork that comes IN the
bottle can be used after it is pierced
with the corkscrew. In the yellow jugs
the shoppers are yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and blue morning glOries. They
give to the room that touch of origin
ality and individuality that every wo-
man strives for. The curtains are
