Women Members Resume Play.

Harry Vardon, the former champion
of Great Britain, played against the
best ball Of George Low and Tom
Hutchinson yesterday at the Morris
County Golf Club, and attracted one
of the largest and most fashionable
assemblies that has ever gathered at
the grounds. Hutchinson and Low
wero in fine fettle, while the ex-
champion was in poor form.
The course was never in better con-
dition, and the green's were true and
firm. All three players sent good
balls away from the first tee, but
during the early play Vardon did not
do anything especially brilliant. Hut
Crimson put up an excellent game,
and Low was a close second. The

phenomenal plays. But he picked up
too late, and at the end of play he

Gotti MS the Man to Succeed Him.
ROME, Jan. 2. 1T is asserted that the
pope, after the recent ceremony Of OPEN
ing the holy door at st. Peters cathe-
dral, addressed his intimate encourage
and said:
s.I thank Divine Providence for grant
ing me the strength of being able to
celebrate this great function, and
wish for myself grandeur and long
reign to the greater glory of God. My
successor will be young as compared
with my own age, and will have time
to see many glories of the papacy and
the church. 4
Later Leo clearly designated Cardinal
sGirodamo Maria Gotti, prefect of the
congregation of indulgency and sacred
relics, as his successor. Cardinal Gotti,
the famous Genoese monk, is a man of
great piety and modesty. Now about
ga years Of age, he has always lived the

nifty of a prince Of the church he al
ways sleeps in cell and on q hard

~ 1t is reported that the Fenians are
engaged in storing large quantities Of

in remote districts in Vermont and

The information comes from persons
who claim to- have knowledge Of the

Others who learned Of their transporta-
ton by railroad, disguised as groceries.
Dynamite and other explosives have
been secured in 81 surprisingly large
quantities and stored underground on

of canned meats have been hidden in
some large barns Of sympathizing farm
ers on the main line near New Kamp-

It is said that an efficient ambulance
corps is being organized under the
supervision Of a few loyal Irish women
and surgeons who were in the Red
Cross work in Cuba. They are also
preparing large number Of 4 first aid
packages for the invading force.
The movement is the work of the
Irish element Of the larger cities, but it
is a fact that a large and important
work is being done among the farmers
of the border states. A schedule is be-
ing arranged Of farmers who can fur
nish wagons and horses and oxen for
transp portation purposes, as this is re-
garded as most portant detail. "a
