Looking to the incorporation of
Island Pond Village.

The first step toward the incorporation
Of the village and the procuring of a
charter was taken Wednesday evening
when a company of interested citizens
met in the Office of S. ID. IIobson and
discussed the matter, pro and con, dur
ing the entire evening. There seemed
to be but one opinion as to the wisdom
of the move and that was unqualitiedly
in its favor. 1t was developed that I'M
der the present arrangement what would
be the village proper in the event of in
corporation pays about so per cent of the
taxes of the whole town and it was con-
sidered as highly improbable that incor-
poration would increase this amount to
any appreciate extent, while the addi-
tional advantages were cited as manifold.
The line to include the village, pro-
posed is to start from the John Davis
place on the north, to and including the
residence of Lee Morse, to- but not in
GLIDING, the Steele farm on Pleasant
street, across the pond taking in the
island, to the residence of Henry Norton,
thence to the lIenshaw place, to the
Deveny place and thence to the point OF
beginning. 1t will be noticed that this
place includes the land recently pur-
chased for a cemetery on Pleasant street
The meeting was organized by the selec-
ton of f. c. Mosher as chairman and
j. ID. Bates, Esq, secretary. After the
matter had been fully discussed a com
mittee consisting of Z. j.. Parsons, j
ID. Bates and f. f. IIobson was chosen
to draft bill for submission to the
next session of the General Assembly
and to see to the necessary notice by
publication, etc. The meeting was ad
iourned subject to the call of the chair

The CARDINALS HAT

New York, Nov. 22. - A despatch
to the Herald from Rome says: A
very strained condition of feeling ex
ISIS between the Austrian representa-
tive of the Vatican and His Holiness.
II concerns the coming distribution Of
Cardinal hats.
The Austrian Government has Of
late been urging with much persist.
ence that the Archbishop of Prague
should receive the coveted scarlet.
The See of Prague is considered by
Austrians, for historical and other
reasons, to be Of premier rank and
has been held by a succession of
dignitaries of princely title. II Is now
occupied by Baron Scribnitz. The
Pope. however, has Just given a final
decision, which Is negative, on the
ground that the Archbishop is too
young.
Furthermore there are other disap
pointments in view. These will touch
French aspirations, as the number OF
Cardinal hats expected by the French
church will not be granted.
This last decision Is due to the
growing importance attached by His
Holiness to the increasing develop.
ment of the Roman Catholic faith in
the United States, in which country
In consequence, two new appoint
ments of Princes Of the church have
been decided upon. This appointment
of two additional American Cardinals
may cause jealousy, but II Is only IN
accordance with the amount of sup
port which the Roman Catholic
church in the United States Is giylas
to the Holy See, as compared with
other nations.
