And Mrs. Medlaw had just sat down
TO her evening rejection of toast and
tea, when Polly, the little maid who
always wore green checked gingham
and carpet slippers, came shutting in.
'Please, ma'am there's two young
ladies down in the parlor as says
you're their aunt"
ooh, bother" said Mrs. Medaw in
a sort OF soliloquy. cts Eda and
Ellal L knew that they'd come on me
when the old man died! As if /
hadn't anything else to do but to
support swarm of lazy relations.
Why didn't you say wasn't at home,
Polly?"
81 would, ma'am, if I'd supposed
they was any relation of yourn,
afore I'd let 'em in, said unconscious
Polly. "But they was dressed so
nice and looked SO clipper I thought,
of course, they was real ladies'"
"And just as the tea was boiling,
tool" said Mrs. Medlaw. ooh, dear
me, what world this isl"
Eda and Ella Carr were sitting,
pale, black-robed, in the moldy.
smelling little parlor, when their aunt
came in. They were pretty girls,
with delicate wax.white compilations,
hair so dark that it gave you the inn
preston of being black, and great,
blue-gray eyes. They were 80 ex.
actly alike that strangers could
scarcely tell them apart; in fact, as
is often the case with twins, their
voices were pitched in the same key,
and you could scarcely decide at first
which was speaking.
"Well, girls" said Mrs. Medlaw,
rather ungraciously, $50 you've come
here?"
"We had nowhere else to go, aunt, "
said Eda, meekly.
"HumphW greeted the old lady.
"Take off your things. I suppose
you calculate to stay all night?"
Ella and Eda looked forlornly at
each other. Was this the welcome
they had anticipated from their only
surviving relation?
Mrs. Medlaw lost no time after, the
scanty meal in opening the subject Of
ways and means"
"Well," said Mrs. Medlaw, "and
what are you going to do now?"
'We don't know, aunt" said Ella,
trying hard not to cry.
"We haven't quite made up our
minds, aunt, " said Eda, helplessly.
"Well, amt it high time you hadP"
said Mrs. Medaw. 'Folks can't live
ON airl And two great, grown-up girls
like you ought to be doing something
to earn their salt"
Ella WINGED, but her more courage
GUS sister responded promptly

to do, Aunt Medlaw."

"There's always plenty of work for

"Polly's going away and / want

Ella hesitated, but Eda shook her
head.
"We are scarcely strong enough for
that, Aunt Medlaw," she said.
"Humphl 1 don't see as you look
any way delicate" said Mrs. Medlaw,
incredulously. "And Mrs. Hall, that
keeps the boarding house next door,

"Qute out OF the question:" said |

Church throughout the world. This state OF
affairs was objected to even while the fndepen-
dent States of the Church existed. althougn
those States were regarded as sort OF
international. perhaps extra-national- lana.
The objection is far stronger now that those
States and Rome itself are under the Italian
Crown. and all the clergy. including the ltal-
ian Cardinals and the Curia. are SUBJECTS OF
the King of Italy Accordingly there is
strong demand in all the countries OF Europe
save Italy itself for such change in organza-
ton as will de-Italianize the Curia and make 1t
as international and as catholic a body as the
Church itself
There is another phase of the subject how
ever which is worthy of consideration. That
is the wishes and the influence of the Italian
Government in the case. Ever since 1870 there
has been a nominal and 10 some extent an
actual. estrangement if not open hostility. be-
tween Vatican and Qurinal. Yet not one OF
the three Kings of United Italy has failed to
appreciate the value 10 Italy of the retention of
the Chair of Peter al Rome. and the retention of
an Italian prelate the occupant thereof Be
yond doubt the policy of the Qurinal has more
than once been governed by solicitude for the
welfare of the apparently antagonstc Vatican.
The King would not for the world drive the
Pope out Of Rome, nor would he have any but
an Italian succeed to the Triple Crown. 1t is to
he supposed. too. that the King would view with
regret the transformation of the Curia from an
exclusively Italian body into International
body in which Italians would be in minority:
for such n change would not only lessen Italian
influence in the Church. but also would lessen
the prestige Of the Italian Kingdom throughout
the world.
Neither Pope nor Cura. it is true, takes orders
from the Quirinal or goes out of the way TO
please the King. whom they regard usurper
and oppressOr Yet neither is So free from
worldly wisdom to ignore 10 reject an
instrument that may be useful. It is ny no
means uncomfortable that the will of the royal
government may enter factor into the
question. even though il have TO pay price for
being permitted so to do. Al any rate. there is
probably no one more interested in the answer
TO the question of Council or Conclave than are
the King and his Ministers. 1t is not to be
supposed, of course, that they wish a Con
clave. But they probably do not wish a Coun-
Gil and if one shall be held they will leave no
influence unused to cause il to preserve the
Italian predominance at the Vatican

, TAINTED WATER SUPPLY.

Well founded complaints as to the condition
of the Croton have been numerous and en-
phatic within the last fortnight In extensive
areas of Manhattan and The Bronx the water
has had bad look. bad taste and bad smell
II has been diSagreeable TO the eye. the nose
the throat and the stomach. A flavor. an ap-
pearance and an odor as of fish long dead have
come gushing from the faucets when the stop
cocks were turned Strollers along the borders
of the Central Fark reservoir have seen shoals
of defunct fish at the surface. and have watched
the big focks of gulls which have been acting
the part of Scavengers.
The peonle of New-York have the strongest OF
reasons for distr1Sting and suspecting horde
of officials who draw salaries in connection
with the water system. Commissioner Dalton
has been persistent advocate of the Ramapo
steal Over and over again conspirators in Of
fee and out of office have devised all sorts or
schemes 10 alarm the taxpayers with the dread
that they could not obtain a satisfactory sup
ply without yielding 10 the Ramapo 'holdup
Dreary weeks Of drouth this year excited
apprehension lest the city might suffer from an
insufficient flow Of water. In no small number
of wards and districts in the various boroughs
the pressure was so inadequate that grave dis
comfort and annoyance We're encountered. The
conviction spread abroad that certain ot1lcehold-
ers were plotting TO stir up a general plbllc de-
mand for more water demand which might
help the schemes of the Ramapo hrigands
Copious rains have fallen since the first day of
October. and no one now ventures TO suggest that
there is any danger of a scanty supply for the
metropolis in the coming winter or spring There
is Croton enough but IL is so filthy in long rows
of houses that il is not fit 10 hattie in. much less
TO drink And now the Water Department
placeholders talk about the effects Of freshets
i'll the Croton Valley. II is probable. however.
that with cleaner city government the Gro
ton would be cleaner. From our Tammany
Mayor down through every division. section
and subsection Of the municipal departments
the spirit of rapacity. of selfish greed and of
negligence of duty is clearly apparent. The
TamThany faint poisons everything. 1t pollutes
our water as If pollutes civic life throughout.
Get better men in office and we shall have
herter Croton.

DISGRACED COLORADO-

Colorado ranges itself on the side Of bar
harism. No other view is warranted by the cir
cumstances of the burning of the negro muir
derer at Limon This act of deliberate savagery
was not that of a mob overpowering the officers
of the law. 1t was an act permitted. if not
abetted. by the officers of the law. The stain
of the deed is on the State capital itself. Not
only did the Sheriff. without A show of resist
ance. yield his prisoner 10 the mob. but he
actually took him TO the mob
The determination of the Lincoln County
people to be reyenged on the miserable wretch
for the murder he had committed among them
was we'll known. Their meetings and their
cold blooded prepare tons to kill him were re-
ported. II announced in the newspapers
that lynching would take place when the
prisoner was brought from Denver. where he
was in jail. Yet the Sheriff took the boy from
place of safety and deliberately carried him
some eighty miles TO the point where he knew
the mob was waiting for him. So certain was
1t that he was taking the negro TO an unlawful
death that the train he went on was crowded
with newspaper reporters and photographers
and others who desired TO see the murder Of
his prisoner. And the Governor of Colorado per-
mitted the wretch TO be taken from the shadow
Of the Capitol and carried eighty miles to be
the victim of this advertised and savage crime.
The worthlessnesS Of the negro is not mat
ter for discussion. The question is not what
punishment he deserved, but what stand tow
ard law and civiliZa ton the State of Colorado
and its officials take. The Western mob cannot
even plead in extenuaton of its savagery the
race hatred which overrides reason and con-
science, and the supposed necessity of striking
terror TO the lawbreakers of a numerous and
ignorant race. as Soutberners do. Their fiend-
ishness was cool. and its only purpose was ven
geance, to enjoy 10 degree adequate 10 their
outraged feelings the sufferngs of the wretch
who had committed hideous crime. SO do the

ITALY AND THE CUPT4.

An interesting insight into some politicoeccle-
by "EX-Attache" elsewhere in to-days Tribune
The question is being earnestly asked whether
the new year is to bring a council or a con
clave-an Ecumenical Council, or synod of all
the diocesans of the Church in the world by
which the organization and administration of
the Church might be materially modified, or a
Conclave of the College of Cardinals for the
election OF A new Pope. 1t seems to be gener
ally expected that one or the other will be held
in 1901: that is 10 say. if Leo NH lives he
will summon Council. He is said 10 desire
most earnestly 10 do this as a browning act of
his Pontfcate, while on the other hand some
Of the strongest influences within the Church of
Rome are arrayed against the scheme of
Council and are striving 70 dissuade him from
il. This opposition chiefly comes from the Curia
or executive committee which sees in Conn
ell n menace 10 its power, and more especially
TO the exclusively Italian character of its com
position
Our contributor points out the serious obiec-
lions that are raised within the Church itself
10 government of the Church by a purely Italian
body The Church is catholic and therefore its
government should be entirely free from national
or local bias. II is deemed an anomaly that
Italy. with only 29OOOOO0 Catholics. should
have more archbishoprics and bishoprics than
all the rest of Europe with its 130 600 0O0 Catho
lies. and that the Italian clergy should con
stantly dominate the direction of the entire
