SPECULATION AS TO
coNATYs SUCCESSOR

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. IL
The term of office in the rectorship
of the Catholic university having been
limited by the episcopate to six years
and the present incumbent, Bishop
Conaty, finishing his years OF service
this fall. considerable speculation is
rife as to what selection the board of
bishops will make at their annual
meeting this month. They have the
power to nominate three qualified can
didates and to submit their names to
Rome. The final selection must be
made by papal authority.
1t is now regarded as practically
certain that the present rector will
not be renominated. 1t is known that
the Vatican does not regard success
sive reappointments with favor, and
''roattion in Office" was the plea al
| legged for the removal of the first rec
tor Archbishop Keane. Again, since
funds are an ever-present need in all
university development, it is taken
for granted that whoever is rector.
must have the influence necessary to
secure the needed endowments.
| While IL is admitted that the existing
departments of the university have
been strengthened and made more
efficient during Mgr. Conatys term.
still there has been no real growth in
the direction of opening new and
needed departments. The lack of de-
yelopment is due to the lack of new
endowment during the last six years.
Moreover. the present administration.
while marked with wisdom and pru-
dence. has not been of a character to
give the university that prominence in
education which the church authori-
ties expected when the university was
founded by the pope.

ARMY OF GERMS HoVERs
OVER THE CITY


NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Alarming
conditions in the air, in the unclean-
ed or the improperly cleaned streets
of New York have been presented to
the board of estimate and apportion-
ment by Commissioner Woodbury. in
his plea for an increase of $445, 5,316
in the appropriation for the depart
ment of street cleaning. He present
ed statistics and photographs showing
that an army of germs hovers over
the city and that in the congested dis
tricts of the East Side bacteria swarm
above the streets. For months a
scientific investigation has been going
on to ascertain the danger in the ref
use of the streets and the proper way
to find it. This investigation Is yet In
complete Water is the only remedy
suggested.
Commissioner Woodbury. presented
data showing the number of colonies
of bacteria caught by gelatin plates
at the curb, and at an elevation of
six feet in various parts of the city.
They vary from ten or a dozen colo
nies in the best residence districts to
nearly 100 900 in the East Side. The
plates were all exposed half an hour.
and after being placed in an incuba-
tor were photographed.

is SUED FOR s527, 900.
Corporation Counsel Begins Action
Against Samuel B. Raymond.

CHICAGO, H., Oct In the name
of the City of Chicago, Corporation
Counsel Walker has sued County
Treasurer Raymond for s527 900. The
latters bondsmen. bound in the sum
Of $4,0OO,0OO, are made codefendants.
The interest charges accruing on
moneys collected by Mr. Raymond are
made the basis of the action. Seven
teen counts recite the alleged illegal
retention by the treasurer of interest
funds, which it is maintained belong
to the public body owning the taxes
upon which as a principal the interest
was paid.
Three suits are directed against Mr..
Raymond his bondsmen. as follows:
John NJ. Smyth, Maurice Resented,
Fred M. Blount, William Best, John r.
Walsh and c.. X. G. Billings. A fourth
suit is brought against the county
treasurer individually demanding an
accounting and alleging that during
the years 1898 to 1901 inclusive, as
county collector, Mr.. Raymond collect
ed taxes amounting to s42.000,000 and
that upon these sums he illegally
withheld the interest and converted
it to his own use.
The legal contention is made that
under the state statute the treasurer
should have turned his collections
over to the city treasurer every two
weeks, so far as the city's portion of
the collections were concerned. In
lieu of doing this it is alleged that
Mr.. Raymond retained the money
periods Of as much as three months,
collecting interest upon it at the rate
of 5 per cent per annum.
In the cases of the bondsmen 1t is
asserted they took upon themselves
the bounden duty to see that Mr..
Raymond performed properly all the
duties incumbent upon him as county
treasurer, and mention is made of his
oath of office as recorded in the rec.
ords of the county board. In this
connection it is asserted that the
treasurer has refused to perform all
the duties in the time and manner
prescribed by law. 1t is asserted that
in 1900 Mr.. Raymond collected $l0,-
900 taxes for the account of the
city, and that. moreover. he collected
$l25 900 interest on this amount for
which he never accounted to the city
but retained to himself.

MINING NOTES.
(Silverton Standard.)


Work on the old Columbus mine
near Animas Forks has been resumed
and six or seven men will put the
old-time property in shape TO ship
this winter. George b. Shank of the
firm of Shank Bros, builders of ware
houses, Chicago, has the property un-
der bond and was In our county last
week to start the work which will be
under the supervision of NJ. McKen-
zie and Frank Skinner. AS far back
as 1881 the Columbus was one of the
substantial properties in San Juan
and while little development has been
done there are many nice ore chutes
disclosed by tunnel and shaft.
From II. w. Hollis we learn that the
Esmeralda mine in Minnie gulch is
put in shape for heavier production
than ever. Preparations are now be-
Ing made for sinking. These include
the building Of an engine room, boil.
er and shaft house to be 30x70 feet
and the installing Of Rand six-drill

hoist. All this machinery IL now Oh

pectation Of starting the new work by
the first of next month. In the mean
time carload of ore per day, worth
about $50 per ton In the crude. Is be
ing shipped to the smelter. Among
the other preparations made for win.
ter operations has been the placing OF
$500 timbers at the mine and build

The piece is splendidly staged and
is one of the most picturesque of re.
cent stage productions. OF it's eight
heavy stage settings, three at least
can claim to be triumphs of scenic

ingly attractive. The incidental mu.
sic by Pietro Mascagni is charming

the performance.
Those familiar with Gaines earlier
play, "The Christian" regard "The

from the dramatic standpoint. "The
Christian" seems weak and tame be-
side it. 1t held the audience entranc-
ed by its violence of force and power,
and at the same time it pleased all
by the picturesque scenes scattered
through it. The Willingness of the
author to prove the character of his
heroine and make the climax take on
A form more suitable to audiences
who desire happy moods at the end

AGAINST
TOM HORN.

CHEYENNE. Wyo. Oct. 1.-THE
trial of Tom Horn. stock detective and
presumed right hand man of the cattle
barons of Wyoming. is now under
headway. The testimony today is
rather strong against Horn. The
story of the deliberate shooting of
Willie Nickel, an innocent boy of
fourteen years. in ambush, was told
with various thrills this morning. and
points were made TO indicate that
Horn. whose employers are enemies
or sheepmen and object to settlers,
knew good deal about the lads

trial and 1t is believed it will be fin.
ished next week.
Horn declares that he wants either
liberty or death. He will fight against
imprisonment and of course declares
