THE ONLY ENGLISH POPE.


At last the only Englishman who
ever sat on the papal throne seems
to be about to receive honor from his
own countrymen, if not in his own
country. The project is now on foot
to erect a monument in st. Peters to
Nicholas Breakspeare, Adrian w.,
which will be. worthy of him and
England. The only other English
men who have a monument in the
Vatican Basilica are the two last
Stuart pretenders, who were COM
memorated in marble by the great
Canova, but the genii who guard the
tomb offended the representative
modesty of Leo XII, who had them
draped, says Rome correspondent
OF the Pail Mall Gazette.
The site for the new monument has
not been mentioned, as the scheme is
as yet only scheme, started through
the enterprise of Mr.. Griselle, of Ok
ford, who hopes TO raise sufficient
funds among English Catholics, espe-,
cially those who are now on Pilgrim
age in Rome. and those resident in
the Eternal City. The design of the
monument is already in existence.
having been made centuries ago. and
has waited all this time for some one
to execute it. The pontiff and &C.
clesiastical authorities look with
great benevolence on this project.
which really seems likely to be car
ried out.
Nicholas Breakspeare was most in
teresting man. He was born of Door
parents, in 100, at Langley, near ST.
Adams, and, although he wished to
enter an English monastery, the re-
quest was refused. He then went
abroad and rose from honor to honor
until, at the age of "a, he was elected
to the chair of st. Peter. 1t was he
who conferred the sovereignty of Ire
land upon England, and it was he who
procured the execution of the cele-
brated Arnold of Brescia. To his ac-
count must be laid the beginning Of
the long and bitter feud of the
papacy with the house of Hohen.
staufen. He had personal struggle
with Frederick Barbarossa-who re-
fused to hold his stirrup for him to
mount his horse-which resulted in a
complete victory for the English
pope. In 1889, the quarrel having
gathered volume, he was about to ex-
communicate Frederick. when he
died. and Frederick thus escaped
what, at that time, was almost mat
ter of life and death.
And this man, to whom emperors
bowed, has had to wait 500 years for
his monument!

Few Birds in Texas Since big storm.
BY those who live in the rural dis
tricts, as well as observing townspeo-
pie, the scarcity of birds since the SEN
TENDER storm is frequently the subject
of remark. Before the storm the woods
around Brennan swarmed with birds Of
20 kinds and the town was literally
alive with English sparrows. There
are now very few of the latter seen and
the chirp of bird in the swami or
woodland Is rarely heard. The gener.
ally accepted theory of their disa ppear-
apce is that the smaller kinds were dis.
lodged from their perches by that
awful gale and beaten to death in the
brush and against the ground and trees.
In support of this theory it may be
said that the morning after the storm
hundreds of sparrows were dead in the
court house plaza here, and at the base
OF every brickwall scores could be seen.
There is no doubt that they were blown
