age, he was admitted to be one OF the

Pope Gregory speedily recognized
the young priests executive ability by
making him apostolic delegate at
Benevento, Perugia and Spoleto, in
each of which places his administra-
ton was marked by great energy and
strong common sense. In the first
place he suppressed brigandage, which
had been the cause of endless disor.

gratitude of the law-abiding portion
of the community.
Designing him for the diplomatio
service, for which his great talents
and aristocratic bearing preeminent-
ly fitted him, Gregory made him, ON
of Damiettea, in order that he might
be qualified for the office of nuncio to
Belgium. He remained three years at
Brussels. discharging the duties per-
tanning to his delicate post with great
tact and to the highest satisfaction OF

mere assertion the world will be in

Elsewhere is printed a statement
by James J. Hill, explanatory of
the organization of the Northern
Securities Co. He AYERS, and
there is no doubt of the truth of
the statement, that it was essen
TALLY a self-protective proceeding.
1t was only question as to wheth-
er the Hill interest was to be
caught practically between the
consolidated Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific lines with the
Burlington as feeder and outlet
for them, or the common control of
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, with the Burlington their
feeder and outlet. 1t was a fight
of the giants-HillMorgan against
Harriman-Vanderbilt. The ques-
ton of the legality of the transac-
ton is in the courts, with the best
legal talent enlisted on both sides,
and it would be urseemly to dis
cuss the case pending proceedings,
and yet the HERALD is frank to say
that the interests of the northwest,
of Minnesota and of Sank Centre
will be in no degree imperiled in
case the courts sustain the legality
of the Northern Securities Company
and its purposes. Let everyreader
of the HERALD carefully peruse
Mr.. Hills statement of the case and
this conclusion will be inevitable.

Velvet Gowns AreIn Great Vogue

While there is little distinctly new in
the fashiOning of this seasons gowns,
the combinations of materials satisfy
every desire for novelty. Velvet is
decidedly the vogue for gowns, coats,
separate skirts and shrltwaists, and
yelyeteen and corduroy yield almost as
graceful results. Little decoration is
needed on gowns of these rich m ater-
ials. For seperate fancy waists the
fashionable materials are peau de sole,
satin, Louisine, panne velvet and tai
feta, the color harmonizing with the
material OF the costume with which it
is worn.

The zeta Psi Fraternity of New-York Univer-

building in Andrews-ave., near Hampden-st.,
which the society occupied. burned almost to
the ground about a. m. yesterday. The loss is
estimated at $1,000 The building owned
by Henry Destard, Of No. 36 West Fifteenth-st
The house had been closed all summer A
week ago the steward. George Nickens. and his
wife set about getting things In order. G. d.
Perry, who lives the clubhouse, discovered
the fire. The nearest fire engines were about
two miles away. When two companies arrived
the clubhouse ablaze from top to bottom
and past saving. The firemen were hampered
by the lack Of water pressure. They turned their
attention to preventing the fire from spreading
to adjoining buildings. particularlyAto the home
of man said to be officer of the Standard
Oil Company
The firemen feared that the university build
lngs. which are only block away might catch
.he flames. They said that with the feeble
water pressure on University Heights the uni
versity buildings. including the library. would
have been at the mercy of the flames if the fire
had gone that far. The fire could be from
afer every side. Hundreds of people, in
Guiding many members OF the faculty of the
university gathered and watched the almost
futile efforts of the f1remen. They were alarmed
for the safety of the university
How the fire started Is a mystery. for no one
remains in the building at night. Mr.. Nickens
and his wife had left the place at I:3O p. m.
Saturday. They are certain they left no fire
behind them
