COMMUNITY OF INTEREST.
William K. Vanderbilt Said to Have
 Evolved the Idea.

Earl D. Berry. in Ainslees
 The fact that eight men should be in practical control of our railroads is pri- marily due to the enforcement of the federal laws enacted to prevent railroad combinations. Here is a striking para dox: The Supreme Court of the United States, in dissolving the Joint Traffic As sociation. infused the breath of life into the community of interest Idea. Pre- vented by the highest law in the land from forming traffic agreements or pools, the railroad owners felt bound to pro- tect themselves by forming still greater combinations on the mutual ownership plan.
 Some persons say that 1t was William K Vanderbilt who first suggested the idea of community of interests which has developed with marvellous rapidity in to the basic principle of railroad manage nlent in this country. Certain 1t is that MT. Vanderbilt, and the powerful finan- ciers whose interests are closely allied with his, were the first ones to clasp hands in a protective mutuality of own ership. Having welded all the Vanderbilt lines into one compact system. William k. Vanderbilt was in a. position to Ike the initiative III d movement lO uOInllidle the railroad situation between New York and Chicago. Mir Vanderbilt and other members of his family became stockhold- CTS of the Pennsylvania Railroad and ca apitalists long Identified with the last named property bought New York Cen tral stock. Negotiations were opened for a close alliance between these two great lines
 ''w K. vanderbilt's sagacity energy and fhoroughness in working ont the de- tails of this far-reachiDg scheme sur prised even his lifelong associates. Prior to the illness and death of his elder broth CT, Cornelius, he had figured compara- lively little in the management of the family's railroad interests. Most of his time was given up to foreign travel and social pleasures. Veteran employees of the Vanderbilt lines. feeling that because they had begun service with the commo dore they were privileged to express their opinions, frequently shook their heads and muttered: Who is going to succeed Cornelius? Willie K. has no busi- ness head
 .'The sudden stroke of paralysis which compelled Cornelius Vanderbilts retire ment from business was followed by a series of surprises. extending throughout the Vanderbilt system William K. grasped the reins of control with degree of promptness and self-reliance that sen; cold shivers down the back of many a high official who had begun to regard himself as indispensable to the Wander bilt lines. The new head of the family was found to have definite policy, Con- centration. retrenchment and increased earrings were his watchwords. "We must have these three he declared. and in order to secure them he reorganized ex- tensive staffs. with total disregard of sentimental considerations"

which today adorns this temple. Here you have presided over bishops and coun- ell united to legislate for the church in these States. Here, few years ago. was decorated another in solemn function with the Roman purple Here, then to- day under your lead all once more rejoice because one Is raised to the supreme dig nty of the cardinalate whom all unite in honoring as a most upright. religious, diligent head of his order, the assiduous consutor of sacred congregation, the most prudent apostolic delegate in these United States.
 These and other virtues which are best known by those who have lived in close and familiar intercourse with him. have not escaped the notice of the chief bishop, to whom it belongs to rule the universal church and to select wise and faithful co-workers in the task of feeding and protecting the flock committed to his care.
 His obedience oyercame is humility and brought him unwilling to this sub lime dignity of which I will say nothing at present. as another more worthy than I will more clearly and more beautifully speak of 1t.
 ''Well, indeed. may you feel pleased to- day, most reverend sir, when discharging the commission of the living Peter you see around you the archbishops and
 
 tiny Is so dear to the heart of the Roman pontiff, who highly esteems and loves the young and vigorous American nation. And. well, indeed. may you glory also in the presence of so many faithful pastors of souls; men of prudence and wisdom, venerable by reason of their years and la bors: men filled with zeal. who day and night never cease to watch over the flock committed to them. But among those I see some who more particularly rejoice. and rightly so. because they are united to the new cardinal by special ties. They have listened to the same divine call that he listened to- they profess the same rule, and they have come together with us to- day to add their congratulations to ours. whilst they greet him with the glory of the distinguished Augustinian order who before they esteemed as kind brother and loving father. And the members of our religious families rejoice also with them. because in this promotion they see a new pledge of the benevolence of the sovereign pontiff, who very recently did not hesitate to say that the religious or -ders are an ornament and splendor to the universal church.
 Allow me. therefore. most eminent sir. to read the apostolic brief by which the holy father, Leo XIII, elevates him to the College of Cardinals: but before so doing permit me publicly and most humbly to thank the supreme pastor of the church of God, who, by a special mark of favor, has chosen me. unworthy though I be, as obllgate on this occasion.
 And finally. most eminent sir. again receive my sincere devotion and my con gratulations. May your life be long and happy and may God preserve you for

Game to the Last.

From the London Spare Moments.
 A certain duke. while driving from the station to the park on his estate to in- spect a company of artillery, observed a ragged urchin keeping pace with the carriage at his side. His grace, being struck with the cleanliness of tho lad, asked him where he was going. The lad replied
 ITO the park to see the dock and so- gers"
 The duke, feeling interested, stopped his carriage and opened the door to the lad, saying he could ride to the park with him.
 The delighted lad, being in ignorance of whom he was. kept his grace interested with the quaint remarks till the park gates were reached.
 As the carriage entered 1t was saluted by the company and guns, whereupon his grace said to the lad:
 Now can you show me where the duke is?'' The lad eyed his person all over, then looking at the duke. replied. quite seri- ously:
 well. I dunno. mister. but it's either you or me!'

divested himself of these and appeared in white and gold vestments of the mass to which he was to pontificate. Assisted by his priests and deacons he conducted this amid the breathless attention of the vast audience.
 The sermon was delivered by Arch bishop Ryan of Philadelphia, after which Cardinal Gibbons pronounced the benedic- tion and the ceremony was ended
 Archmishop Ryan in his sermon alluded to the independence of the papacy. He said the Pope must be free from interfer- ence on the part of all governments; he Is too big man to be the subject of any power. At the close of his sermon the archbishop asked Gods blessing upon the United States.

 Cardinal Gibbons responded as follows:
 Most Eminent Father beg leave to tender to your eminence my most sincere congratulations on the well-merited honor which the holy father has conferred on you In associating you with the members of the sacred college. And am sure that in offering my felicitations I am express ing not only the sentiments of my own heart, but those also of all my venerable colleagues of the American episcopate, who are so numerously represented on this joyous occasion.
 'They have come from the north and south, from the east and west and many of them from a considerable distance and with great inconvenience to themselves as this Is the season of the year when they are usually engaged in administer ing confirmation and making the visita- tions of their dioceses.
 T am certain also that the good wishes of the prelates are shared by the clergy throughout the United States. Less than five years ago you came among us an en- tire stranger. You will leave us, bound to all by the holy ties of friendship. without single enemy to sound discordant note in the universal jubilee of praise and commendation.
 Your mission to the United States has been a mission of peace. While living among us you have taken as your model the Prince of Peace himself of whom it is written: He shall not contend nor cry out. neither shall his voice be heard in the streets. The bruised reed he shall not break. the smoking fax he shall not ex- tinguish.'
 You have fulfilled your onerous duties most effectually, without noise or osten- taton. In discharging your mission as apostolic delegate your eminence has been actuated by high sense of justice-by a justice tempered with charity The spirit of your administration has been fittingly characterized in the words of the royal prophet: Mercy and truth have met each other; justice and peace have kissed. You have followed the injunction of the apostle of the Gentiles, which Is also the sentiments of your own illustrious found- CT: 'Omnia vestra in charitate liant. Let all your works be done in charity. By your justice you have settled disputes; by your charity you have heeled the wounds which are sometimes inflicted by litigation
 "There is but one sad note in the joy ous festivity of today. and that Is found in the reflection that Your Eminence is destined to leave us. But we indulge the hope that you will abide with us for some time yet. And we are cheered, and com forted by the consideration that when you take up your residence in Rome, the Holy Father will have in you wise ana prudent councillor, who Is conversant with the religious, moral and social con- ditions. of the United States. : Your Eminenoe will be able to inform

.A HOTEL STOCK COMPANY
Talk of Organizing one to Erect Il
100000 Modern HOtel-WOuld
Lease to Charlie GOOdlander

Talk has been circulating for some
time and has been getting quite per-
sistent the past few days of organic
ing "A stock company here at home
and raising something like S20,0 900
with which to erect a handsome mod
ern hotel in lola, one that would be
credit to the town. The town is
growing rapidly and the number of
travelling men who come here and de-
sire the best accommodations to be
had is ever on the increase. Then
there is colony of twenty to fifty
young bachelors who are drawing
good salaries and want a place to
hold down room and still be per-
fectly independent 1t is among these
men that the talk originated, but sew
eral other married men who have
money to spare are inclining to
view it as profitable investment.
Fifty large rooms with parlors, bath
rooms and everything first-class, bells,
gas lights and steam heat, all in IA
handsome edifice are planned. 1t is
said that the scheme has been dis
cussed with Charlie Letton, the we'll
known proprietor of the Goodlander
Of TT. Scott, and that he has expressed
"A desire to rent it and operate it in
conjunction with his Ft. Scott house.
There is also bare possibility that
the plans may he enlarged so as to
include a modern little theatre in the
building, neat play house that will
seat 1000 people and be an up-to-date,
beautiful little place. The men plan
ming the venture can carry it out if
they so decide and it is up to them to
speak the word.

ANOTHER FACTORY PROBABLE.
32O Acres of Gas Land Securel and
Prospecting viii Begin at lOnce-
Gas Means II Big Factory.

The REGISTER has already made
mention of the fact that Mr.. j. c.
Noble has been working for some weeks
in Allen county, digging over the re-
cords and investigating with keen
eye to spot those lands which are
probably in the gas belt but not tied
up by gas lease. 1t is pleasant to
know that he has finally been success
ful, having secured the 32O acres north
OF Gas City belonging to Mr.. j. p.
Ditmar, of Franklin, Indiana. Mr..
Noble made a trip to Franklin and got
Mr.. Ditmar to come out here and
this morning they drew up and signed
the final papers and two prospect wells
are to be drilled at once.
Mr.. Noble has put in most of his
time and labor heretofore on Salem
township, having planned to develop
the southeast part of the township
providing he could secure 1000 acres
of land in bunch 1t is nine miles
southeast of lola, outside of the de-
veloped belt and he felt that he must
have a goodly tract before he could
afford to go to the expense of pros
pecting and developing. He secured
$40 acres, but could not get the other
100, and SO he turned elsewhere and
has been more successful. He still
says, however, that if the 1000 acres
asked for is secured to him in Salem
he will prospect there at once.
Mr.. Noble has also secured an
option ON the Often farm southwest of
lola, in the gas belt and close to the
liver, and he may take il in later.
For the present he does not wish TO
disclose the nature ofthefactory which
he has i'm mind, simply stating that as
soon as he secures beyond question an
abundant supply Of fuel. forthe factory
needs he will construct and operate an
industry that will employ goodly
number Of men and pay good wages.
As soon as Fred Horton returns from
Texas contracts for two wells will be
made and they are to lee sunk within
five months. This is in accordance
with the contract with Mr.. Ditmar, the
provision also being made that Mr..
Noble is to buy the 1920 acres at an
agreed price if either we'll develops
a aow of 5000, 600 feet of gas.
So here is another good thing for
the lola gas belt all cut and dried if
the requisite amount of gas is found.
Let those who have pull with the gas
maker proceed to do their share.
