George Everett, builder of post Of
fices and customhouses for the Unit
ed States government, worked at day
labor as a stonecutter less than 20
years ago.
A man was sentenced to II days
hard labor at Spalding for sleeping
in stable. He would not work. and
had been several times convicted.
The police stated that there was 6 60
waiting for the man at solicitors,
but he was too lazy to fetch it.
Two female patients in a Chicago
hospital occupied adjoining beds. One
of them, by a mistake of the nurse,
was given the medicine intended for
the other, and asserts that this blum
der caused her the loss of the sense
OF taste. She has brought suit, claim
ing 100000 damages.
An infant boy in an Arkansas town
having died without medical attend-
ance, coroner's inquest was neces-
sary. The age of the child was ten
months, and~thes seoroAeH's~ certificate
stated that the deceased was unmar-
ried, and that his occupation. was

Detectives are sometimes engaged
for queer missions. One of the odd
est is that for which Denver de-
tective has been been employed. He
is required to hunt up the last re-
siding place of a turkey. and his en-
ployer is a, Norwegian, resident of
that city, who bought the fowl for
$1.15. In its nraw he found gold
nugget worth ,S1.1s. and he believes
that that turkey came from the vi
cinity of a gold mine. ~
Capt William E. English, of Indian
apelis, is zone of the most remarkabl
officers who served Uncle Sam during
the Spanish-American war. After the
war THE captain, who sis a son of the
former democratic candidate for vice
president, refused tor draw his pay.
When the department sent him a
check for $l,17225, he returned the
same with the announcement that he
did not care to accept the pay, as he
entered the service purely from patri-
otic motives.

up a penny and set it on the head
of small gilt image three or four
inches high and with head scarcely
larger than the coin. Seeing that the
baby watched her, she said, playful

balancing the coin on the head Of the
image. The brave baby! We gave
him a round of applause, and he
looked from one. to the other Of NJ

The traffic of the camp will
require a railroad within year
when we have our improvements
completed and get to producing
extensively. Next summer there
will be several thousand people at
these mines. There will be plenty

is no conceivable reason why the
extension will not be promptly

ROOT STARTS FOR CUBA.
Secretary OF War Goes to Confer with
GOV. Gen. wood on Important
Matters.

Washington, March 8. Secretary
Root left Washington Friday for fly
ing trip to Cuba. With him were Mrs.
Root, Miss Root, Edward Root, his son;
Col. Carter, assistant acknowledgement;
Private Secretary w. S. Coursey, and
Arthur Brooks, attendant The party
had special car over the Southern rail-
road. 1t is expected that the trip will
occupy about two weeks. allowing for
weeks tour around the island Of
Cuba. The army transport Sedgwick
is on her way to Tampa, and the party
will embark on Saturday for Rayana.
1t is known that the main object of
the trip is to enable Secretary Root to
confer personally with Gen. Wood and
as the latter will accompany the secre-
tary on his tour around the island there
will be ample opportunities for such
conferences. tits gathered from rather
urgent communications that have been
received here from Havana that, not
withstanding the apparent serenity
of conditions in Havana and Cuba
generally, Gen. Wood has reason for
grave apprehension as to the futures;
not because of the possibility of out
breaks. but rather owing to the ex-
IRENE gravity of important questions
that are pressing from all sides for im-
mediate decision.

ing the bed at the time were archbish-
OPP Ryan, Mgr. Ryan, Fathers Toomey,
Coney, Donlon, the archbishop's broth
er and sister, DR.. Slattery and four sis
tiers of Holy Ghost Order. Prayers for
the dead were read by Mgr. Ryan and
were responded to by Archbishop
Ryan, the priests and others present.
just as he died the great bell on the
cathedral tolled the notification to the
people of the city. The funeral will be
held Thursday morning at ten o'clock.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, who
preached the sermon when the dead
prelate was made bishop, at his silver
jubilee, and again when he was made
archbishop, will pronounce the eulogy.
The body will lie in state at the ca
thedral Wednesday. All the leading
church dignitaries will be there.
Mgr. Ryan will administer the do
cese until successor is appointed.
There are several candidates for the
archbishopric, but it is intimated by
prominent churchmen that Archbishop
Kaine, former rector of Washington
university, will be the man should the
other archbishops recommend him to
Rome. Bishop Lenahan, of Cheyenne,
is strong probability, while DR.. John
Carroll, president of st. Joseph's coll
lege, Dubuque, is the almost unanimous
choice of the priests of the diocese.
Mgr. Ryan is also proposed, but it is
probable he will not accept because of
age. A choice may not be made until
next fall.
l--rchbishop John Hennessy was recog-
niZed as one of the greatest orators and
most profound theologians in the Catholic
hierarchy, and because of his zeal in edu-
cational matters has been named ''the
apostle of the American Catholic paro-
chial school," His latest work in the
cause of education was the founding of a.
seminary here designed to be one of the
largest in the country. Since he first
came to Dubuque Archbishop Hennessy
has seen the Catholic church in Iowa in
crease from a membership of few hum
dred to quarter of million. Archbishop
Hennessy was born in County Limerick.
Ireland, August 20, 1926. In 1S47 he came
to America, going to Carondelet seminary
near st. Louis, where he commenced the
study of theology, and was ordained
priest November ], 1850. His first mission
was at New Madrid, Mo-. embracing 5000
miles of territory, without single mile
of railroad, and where he endured the
hardships and privations of a pioneer. In
1854 he was installed as professor of dog
matte history at Carondelet and became
president in 1857 The next year he went
to Rome as representative of Archbishop
Kendrick. In 1860 he went to St Joseph,
Mo-, where he remained until appointed
bishop of Dubuque in 1866. He was conse-
Grated September 30 OF that year by Arch
bishop Kendrick, of st. Louis. His silver
jubilee was celebrated with great pomp
in 1891. He was made archbishop on Sep
TENDER IL, 1893, Mgr. Satolli, then papal
ALLOCATE, and Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti-
more, conducting the ceremonies. All the
American archbishops except one, nearly
all the bishops and upwards of 400 priests
and hundreds of leading Catholic laymen
of the country were PRESENT.
