CANDIDATES FOR THE PURPLE
Arc Coming Forward In Ever In
creasing Numbers.

LONDON, October 2l.-Candidates
for the Purple" at the Consis.ory
which the Pope usually holds about
Christmas time, according to the Rome
correspondent OF the Pail Mall Gazette,
are arising everywhere, their numbers
seeming to increase in proportion to the
distance from Rome. The United States
for instance, besides the candidates Of
longstanding, Archbishops Corrigan and
Ireland, who represent two opposite
tendencies in the American Roman
Catholic church, has on this occasion
two additional aapirants for the Red
Hat. There are only four vacancies in
the College OF Cardinals, and the
American prelstes are thought to have
few chances of selection, az the Pope
IS credited with a determination not to
have more than one cardinal in the
United States, fearing that the friction
and antagonism would be difficult TO
harmonic and might be fatal to Ca
tholicism in America.

to some routine matters the text book
question was taken up and discussed at
some length. A. +. Wilmoth, repre-
senting Gum & Co., was present and
addressed the board. There was no
representative of the American Book
Company present. After due discus

tract made some months ago to stand,
to have the new books ordered at on g
and the five year contract signed. The
clerk was instructed to gather up the
old books and have the new ones placed
in all schools as soon as possible. The
action of yesterday was unanimous and
the board was apparently satisfied with
the books adopted. Some of the teach
ers, however, are severe in their criti-
cism Of the new BOOKS.

In them. The whole secret Of a sturdy

not think Of his stomach will be made to
think of it as he grows old It is the

THE PRESIDENT HAD
A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR
In the Person of Marquis Ito, Elk
Prime Minister of Japan.


Prime Minister of Japan.
WASHINGTON, October 21.-The dis
tinguished Japanese statesman, Marquis
Ito, was the guest of President Roose-
welt at luncheon to-day. The Marquis
called at the White House earlier in
the day to pay his respects to the
President He was escorted by tho
resident japanese Minister, Mr.. Taxa
hira, and by Mr.. Tsudzuki, formerly
vice minister Of foreign affairs OF
Japan, but at present acting as one
of the secretaries to the Marquis Ito.
The President gave his visitors cordial
welcome. The Marquis Ito speaks Eng
lish with facility, as does Mr.. Tsud-
zuki. The President was much inter-
ested in their conversation Having
been prime minister Of Japan several
times, and especially during the war
with China, and having taken lean
ing part in the establishment of consti-
tutional government IN Japan the
Marquis Ito is particularly informed on
topics in which the President is inter-
ested. Mr.. Tsuudzuki, who is also a
member Of the House OF Peers Of Japan
and man of strong character, is giving
special attention to financial, indus
trial and commercial conditions in .'ie
United States, and has observed many
things of interest even in the short
time he has been in this country, so he
also was able to add his share to the
interesting conversation with tae
President.
1t was the desire of President Roose-
velt to give dinner in honor OF the
visiting Japanese and, indeed, he
pressed the Marquis to accept an in
vitation to dinner on the 26th inst.,
which is the earliest date that a for
NAL dinner would be in order at the
White House. The Marquis was
obliged to decline this invitation, as it
would conflict with his engagement to
attend the Yale bi-centennial. With
the President and Marquis Ito at
luncheon were Secretary of State Hay
and Mr.. Tsudzuki.
After leaving the White House, the

perial Technical School recently dis
covered that microphone attached to
an electric arc lamp by wire will trans
NIT sounds through the medium of an
other electric arc lamp.
Repeated experiments were made in
which the two lamps were separated
by thick wall. The inventor read in
a low voice a lecture on his discovery
and his words, spoken into the micro
phone, were comfortably audible In
the next room.
With characteristic carelessness the
Russian newspapers failed to state
whether the lamps were burning, but
it is probable that this is to be as
suned.
