Archbishop Martinell. the apostol-
ic delegate, will participate at the
services to be held at st. Patrick 8
Church, in Washington, at midnight,
on December 3lst, to consecrate the
new century to God. A year ago the
Pope gave special permission with
view to wide exercise of the privi-
lege to sing a solemn mass at mid
night of December 31st, of last year,
to consecrate the closing year Of the
century and to repeat it on December
81, next at the same hour for conse-
Grating the entire new century. The
ceremony, like that Of year ago, is
expected to be unusually brilliant,
and most Of the Bishops throughout
tbe country will probably hold SINH
lar services,

THE NEW MILL CARLISLE.

The people Of Carlisle have been
hard at work in quiet way on the
! cotton mill project OF which we made
,nnniion last fall. They have not
been making much Of bIsMa abouo
what they have been doing, bat they
have been earnestly at work all tho
same, and at last success is about to
crown their Efforts. We understand
that. certain parties proposed to the
people Of Carlisle that if they would
raise a stipulated amount that they,
the parties, would duplicate the
same, thus assuring them cotton
mill at Carlisle.
We have been informcd upon good
authority, that the required amount
has now been subscribed and about
ten thousand flolIavs besides. This
looks very much like there is TO be a
mill at Carlisle. We are certainly
very glad to see this evidence of push
md prosperity in our neighboring !
5own, Carlisle will furnish an excel !
ent site for mill, and, with its ex- J
:e!lent railroad facilities, far supe- !

A Captains Stories of Steamboat
Racing on the MisHIHniDui


Racing the MisHissippi.
When one steamboat comes alongside
another OH the Mississippi each tries tG
pass the other. That is ain invariable ruls
Of the road. 1t is us much Il rule ON the
river lis it is i'll driving. \ man is out il
a light rig and has before him far as he
can see Il smooth, wide, unobstructed dirt
speedway. He has Il good, fresh, spirited
horse that wants to so and needs muscle
TO hold back
Another outfit, under precisely the same
conditions. comes up alongside and tries
to whisk by. The man is not living who
will keep his pull on the lines and let the
other outfit throw the dust in his face.
lie will give his horse its head, and there
will be race.
Neither driver will have started out
with the intention of racing. lie may
have made up his mind TO eat dust sooner
than race, but let the other rig whisk by
and he's after it "hotfoot," as the saying
is.
1t is the same way in Stcamboating.
No pilot likes to take the wash and bro
ken wafer of another boat, especially il
the other boat is slower OF more heavily
loaded.
1t is in the human blood, and no amount
Of danger from overtaxed boilers, mar.
rowness of channel, sand bars, shoals or
snags will deter the fast boat from show
ing its heels to the slower boat.
l have seen passengers in the olden
time, when everybody knew u good deal
about the river and its dangers, come up
to the captain of the boat they had taken
passage on and say to him solicitously:
Now, captain, | want you to assure
me of one thing, that you are not going
to race. I've got my wife and children on
board, and don't want 10 expose them to
needless danger
"Of course we won't race" the captain
would answer, and he would mean il
when he said it,
In little while along would come
slow, heavily loaded scow of Il boat and
try to pass Ts. The captain would get
busy and so would the pilot, the engineer
and the firemcn.
And as the competing boat would shade
down to a small speck on the rear hoi.
ION the passenger who was so anxious to
keep his family out of needless danger
would come mp from below, wiping n pair
of bruised and dirty hands and, initiating
his chest proudly, say to the captain,
'She never touched u.s."
That passenger had been down on the
boiler deck during the race passing cord
wood to the stokers to put under the boil
ers.
That's how it is with steamboat racing.

beyond the Siberian Border.
The east is never free from leprosy, and
Russia is always drcading that the sly
white pest may cross her borders. Occa-
sionally, though not often, it crceps into
the homes OF the aristocracy. 4 certain
grand bah was given at st. Petersburg
during the spring Of 1898. Among the
guests was young and beautiful unmar-
ried countess. 4 gentleman asked one Of
her relatives to introduce him. received
an assent and danced with the lady sew
eral times. Later, as they stood in an
exposed portion of the ballroom, the gen.
tleman said:
''This draft is injurious. You should
be careful OF yourself, for see there is a
slight eruption on one of your shoulders.
