-Four FIany Orphan Chicks See the

DeROt-FOund Many Eager
10 Claim Them.

Chirruping of newborn chicks
among a chaos of boxes, crates and
barrels was one of the incidents that
broke in upon the mOnOtOny of life
at the Northwestern depot the other
afternoon, says the Omaha Bee. 1t
would be difficult TO conceive of a less
favorable place for a fowl of tender
years. 1t was a wilderness of bales,
box cars, trucks, smells and noises;
no baby chick could legitimately be
within half a mile. Still, there was
the faint peep, peep, peep" of a
newly Matched chicken. Work was
suspended for the time being, while
foreman and gang searched for the
''nest." The quest was in vain.
As near as the employees could tell
the noise came from a barrel, full
of a commodity warranted to be
genuine cider vinegar"
Meanwhile Charles Cline, a delivery
elerk, had been handling a truck
laden with cases of eggs. Suddenly
he cried: I've got it,"
Everyone ran to see what he had,
and Cline began ripping madly at the
boxing of the top case. The Stats
torn away, he carefully removed layer
after layer of the 30 dozen specimens
of hen fruit within. AS he pulled
away the pasteboard that covered the
very bottom strata in one compart-
ment of the case four husky little
buff cochins came to view, standing
each in it's small cardboard square,
where the egg it had recently dis
carded had been originally placed.
The broken shells were crushed down
under tiny feet.
Three of the birds were but just
out of the shell, while the other was
big in the starved pride of a two
days hungry growth. As soon as the
sunlight struck them for the first
time in their lives the chicks start

Cardinals should be 80 years of age.
Mgr. MartinelH will be one of the
youngest members of the college. He
is now SO. Cardinal Skebensky, arch
bishop of Prague, is the youngest, be-
ing only 80. Cardinal Wives y Tuto
comes next. He is AZ. Then Mgr.
Martinelli fits in, says the Baltimore
Sun.
When the sacred college is completes
there are 20 cardinals, namely six
bishops, so priests and IA deacons.
Cardinals of a lower order have, with
the consent of the pope, the right Of
option to pass to higher order. The
deaconz can chose the vacant places
of the cardinal priests if they have
been deacons for ten years, and havs
been ordained to the priesthood. Ths
senior cardinal priest present in
Rome when one of the six bishopricz
falls vacant has the option TO succeed
to it, with the exception of the sees
of Ostia and of Porto, which are re-
served for the dean and the subdean
of the sacred college. The dean is
the senior cardinal, dating from his
promotion to one of the sees.
There are now 67 cardinals-40 Ital-
ians and q of other natiOnalities. II
is said that Pope Leo XIII. desires
always to have the membership near
the plenum, or limit, and that he said
Just before making out the recent lisa
of 10 new cardinals:
Better that there should be as
many as possible to choose from in
the next conclave." Pope Plus *,
having had the longest reign, created
the most cardinals, 179; Pope Leo
XIII. has buried 1876 cardinals since
he began his pontifcate.
Besides Cardinal Martinelh seven
other cardinals have had TO do with
the church Of North America. They
are Cardinal Cheverus, the first bishop
of Boston; Cardinal McCloskey, ARCH
bishop OF New York; Cardinal Glib
bons, of Baltimore; Cardinal Tascher-
eau, of Quebec; Cardinal Perisco, bish-
op of Savannah; Cardinal Mazzella,
the Jesuit theologian and professor
at the college at Woodstock, Nd, and
Cardinal Satolh, former delegate to
the United States. OF these cardinals
Cheverus, Perisco and Mazzella had
left this country before they wers
created cardinals.

FORTY YEARS A JUDGE.
John Jay jackson, Jr., of West Vir-
gInia, Has Sat on Bench Longer
Than Any other Man.

Judge John Jay Jackson, Jr., of
Parkersburg, w, Va, celebrated the
fortieth anniversary of his appoint
ment as judge of the United States
district court of West Virginia on Au-
gust 3. He has sat upon the bench
longer than any other judge, either
federal or state, in the history of the
United States.
Chief Justice Marshall, Judge Field
and others sat over 80 years upon the
bench, but no one has come within
four years of the length of Judge Jack
sons term of service.

the body of the plant. This passage
has a number of hairy bits about it,
which are very fuzzy, and at the end
of each bit there is a sticky substance.
When the plant opens its mouth it
is evident that the trap is then set, for
upon any insect entering it the lips
close upon it at once, forcing it TO the
gummy substance of the throat. This
substance has properties similar to
those contained in the gastric juices
Of the human stomach, which help to
decomPose and digest the food. When
so digested the food resolves itself
into a liquid which is carried all over
the plant to nourish and revive it.
The most marvellous thing about this
newly-discovered species, says the
New York World, is that it can digest
such food as small morsels of beef, fish
and egg gelatine, some of which,
dropped into the open leaf. were re-
tanned and apparently digested. At
the same time anything of a starchy or
fatty substance the leaf or plant is
not able to retain. It does not, there
fore, close its lips upon it, and if al
lowed to remain in the mouth the
plant will decay.

One morning not long ago, as his car

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Senator Cockrell stated the case
in nutshell when he said the
other day, that the Cubans entirely
misunderstood their status. This
has become plain since the commit
tee from the Cuban Constitutional
Convention reached Washington.
Although they represent no govern
ment and are paid salaries by the
United States, they came to Wash
ington with the idea that tLeir
status was the same as ministers
plenipotentiary, sent by one govern
ment to negotiate with another,and
they have been greatly surprised to
discover that they were in Washing
to be jollied and entertained at
White House State dinners and
such functions. but not to negoti-
ate. A negotiator must necessarily
have credentials, and where, pray,
would these Cnbans get creden-
tials7 The convention which elected
them hasao government behind it,
except the military government Of
the United States, and govern
ment can not negotiate with itself.
The subject upon which these self
deluded Cubans we're most anxious
to negotiate was the tariff-they
wish this government to lower or
entirely remove the duty on Cuban
sugar and tobacco, and having as
certained that Congress alone could
act, they have been trying to see
what chance there was of securing
Mr.. McKinley's promise to recconl-
mend such legislation to Congress.
They have not received any encour-
agement in that line, nor in the
hope that Congress would modify
the conditions laid down by the
! Piatt amendment.
The members of the Cuban conf
mittee have been very careful about
publicly expressing their opinion
Of Gen. Wood, who is also in Wash
ington. and Of his administration
of the military government of Gu
ba, but one of the Cubans who ac-
companied them. NJ. M. Coronado,
who was editor and proprietor of a
Havana newspaper recently sup
pressed BY Gen. Wood, has been
knocking Gen. Wood to every
body he could get to listen to him.
He says the Cubans don't want

tions have been responsible for all

If the business Of the Reunion

and that after a visit to Europe for
his health he will return to Venez-
uela if he wishes to do so. This
was after Mr.. Looniis, who arrived
in Washington this week, had a
talk with Secretary Hay. 1t would
be easy to get big odds that Mr..
LOOMS will not"wish to- return to
Venezuela.
When it comes to so working out
a problem so that the pubic is
bamboozled and no patronage lost,
the average Republican politician
can easily beat the world. An
example has just been made pnblic.
1t is officially announced that Mr..
Mckinley and Secretary Root have
decided that the number of men in
the regular Army shall be limited
to 10000, unless there is fresh
outbreak in the Philippines. That
was to bamboozel the public, and
will make small difference for a
long time, as the slowness in re-
cruiting made it certain that it
would take many months to enlist
all the men authorized by the new
army law. Accompanying the an
nouncement was the statement that
all the officers provided for BY law
would be appointed. That was to
save the patronage over which
there has been so much scram-
bling. If there are more officers
than there is is work, for there are
always nice little details, in Wash
ington and elsewhere. TO which
those with pull enought can be as
signed, the principal duties Of
which are social.
