ROME, April l9.-Cardinal Giuseppe
SartO, Patriarch of Venice, is regarded
as Pope LeOs personal choice for sue
cessiOn to the chair of st. Peter. His
name has suddenly sprung into prom
inence in connection with the names of
RampOlla, Nannutelli and GOtti as the
Cardinals most apt to win the high
place. Rampolla and NannutelH are
bitterly hostile to each other and lead
the principal factions in the Sacred
College, but Sarto is not known as an
adherent of either faction, and his per-
sonal alOOfness from the struggle COM
bined with the selt-saCrinClng way in
which he has spent his life as a parish
priest in the north of Italy, give him
the sympathy of large numbers of the
ontoOkers at the contest.
Pope Leo's choice of Cardinal Sarto
was freely made known by him in a re-
IuaIk TO rather Lorenzo Perosi, the
Italian composer. After asking for news
OF mis- friend, Cardinal Sarto, the Pope
said to Father PerOsi: Hold him very
dear, Perosi, as in future he will be
able to do much for you. We firmly be-
lieve he will be our successor
Cardinal SartO was born in 1885, and
made Patriarch in 1891, being proclaim
ed Cardinal two years later. He is a
great preacher and well known as a
writer, ana ne mas the reputation VI AZ
complishing all the works that he has
undertaken. The recent weakness OF
Leo has only served to aCcentuate the
bitterness of the rivalry between Ram
DOlla and Vannutelli. RampOlla would
prefer GOtu to Vannutelli, but there is
no other member of the Sacred College
whom he would not prefer to Gotu.
Rampolla is So, and the other two are
ten years older. There is no chance
whatever that the next Pope will be
other than an Italian.

CORN GROWING IN WEST.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The tremendous growth of the Me- braska corn crop is not without danger to those engaged in its cultivation. Sher- if Long of Hayes Center tells this story:
 My brother was out in his corn field the other day and met with what might have been a severe accident. While standing near a stalk of corn 1t took a sudden growth, catching him under the arms and carrying him straight up. As he started he made a grab and caught a strand of the barbed wire fence in his right hand. When the stalk ceased grow ing, as suddenly as 1t began, he threw the barbed wire over the telephone line that passes along the road and getting out his pocket telephone connected it with the wire and called up the county surveyor, Mir. Snyder. Help was slow in coming, and fearing the altitude might endanger his health, he fastened the barbed wire to the stalk, carefully climbed over to the telephone wire and thence down the pole to the ground. The telephone wire is still there to prove the story"
 Governor Savage claims to have private
 
 farmer there has a field of corn six miles wide by twelve iong. and that when cul- tivating 1t during the earlier summer months 1t was necessary to provision the workmen the same as Is customary with Arctic expeditions. It was weeks before the party reached home again. He adds that there Is a suspicion that a band of cattle rustlers are making their head quarters somewhere in the field. but that they have succeeded in baffling all pursuit by hiding in the dark tunnels formed by rows of corn and the interlac- ing overhead of the tendrils.
 The state auditor, MT. Weston, says that in his part of the state the people have been figuring on substituting corn for hard coal because of the prohibitive prices of the latter but that the ears have attained such length and circum- ference that this will be impossible be- cause of the size of ordinary stove doors, while other farmers are grumbling be- cause they will be compelled to buy new shelters into which the new cobs will fit.
 The greatest fear of the farmers, he says. is that it will be necessary to go to considerable additional expense in husk- ing the corn. as two men to each ear will be necessary, one to hold 1t while the other uses a two-handed husking knife. much like a short lance in appearance, that has been invented for the fall har- vesting. Reports have also reached him of the loss in many districts by reason of the destruction of fences. The corn, being unable to grow any higher. ex- bands in a lateral direction and forces and tears to pieces many miles of fence.

ties. The railroads will do whatever they 4re forced to do. The mayor and board of aldermen have neglected their duties by not requiring the rail roads to place gates and q watchman at each grade crossing.
 The May election is approaching, and the action of the city officials in this matter should be closely scanned, and whoever fails to do his duty to- ward protecting tho lives of the people of this city should become marked man. This neglect has become a seri- ous matter. It has gone on until slaughters have become imminent. and no one is safe who crosses a grade crossing in a conveyance, be 1t a wagon or car.

Soft Drinks.

This has been the most profitable sea- son that I have ever had since started in business" said a prominent vender of ice cream and soda fountain drinks.
 'I have sold tons of cream and hum dreds of gallons of beverages. The ice cream business falls off when the cool weather comes on, but sell some cream all through the winter. Even in zero weather I have to keep ice cream in stock.
 "In the fan and winter the bulk of my trade is in hot drinks and oysters. The only cold drink that keeps winters run is coco-cola. It is the best seller on the market and seasons make little differ ence in the demand for it. The mo- tion that coco-cola is injurious to health is wrong. One sometimes hears talk of coco-cola fiends. Well, that is nothing but talk There is no more caffein in this beverage than there is in coffee.
 Coco cola is an Atlanta product Dr. Pemberton was the chemist who origi- mated the formula. He experimented a long time before he got the syrup to taste Just right. The formula has been sold several times, but notwithstanding the fact that it has been in many hands, the secret has been kept from the pulp lie. There are limitations of coco-cola, but not one comes up. in point of flavor. to the genuine"

CURE FOR SCARLET FEVER.
Announced at the Congress of German
 Doctors at Carlsbad.

From the New York Sun.
 London, September 27.-The conference of German doctors, which is now in ses- sion at Carlsbad, has announced the dis covery of a new cure for scarlet fever which has repeatedly proved to De sue cessfuI pr. Moser, the assistant phy- sician at St. Ann's hospital for children at Vienna is the discoverer of the new serum. During the last two years he has tried it on 400 patients. The mortal- ity has decreased to between 8 and per cent. The rate at the other hospitals is double this. The congress has been in- formed that the government will vote considerable sum of money in order that the serum may be made in large quanti- ties and distributed to all the childrens hospitals in Vienna.
 Apart from this, the congress has not been noteworthy so far as the announce ment of any great discovery is concern ed. The papers which attracted the greatest interest as containing something new were on the new fungus, which Dr. Wint ternitz believes is the prime cause of badness, and the healing qualities of bakers yeast for various cutaneous dis eases.

A Matter of Souls.

"Some of these days" said Presi- dent Jemison of the trolley company, in yesterdays Age-Herald, "a carload of high-priced people will be killed" on the Twentieth street crossnig. This raises a great moral issue, namely. the presence on that particular crossing of high-priced souls, while low-priced souls are hazarded at other crossings. This issue may become sectional, for carried to it's logical limit it means that high-priced souls are found on one side of the railroads, and low priced ones on the other side. But as President Jemison himself lives on the Northside, he certainly did not ir- tend to draw the line in that manner.
 Perhaps after all he had in mind the average jury. He meant perhaps to say that big judgments would fol- low a slaughter on Twentieth street crossing, whereas small or smaller judgments would flow from smashes on other crossings. No doubt he Is correct if this is what he meant, for juries cannot be trusted to assess the value of souls impartially. The Twen- tieth street soul will outrank in money value the Northside soul in the mind of the average juryman, the operations of which no one has yet been able to follow. Providence alone knows what petit jury will do, so runs favorite court house maxim.
 President Jemison no doubt had in mind legal consequences, and he keeps them in mind when he desires bridges and gates for the protection of pas sengers. All in all he is right. He knows a petit jury. He has had much experience with them, and he can ap- proximate in a guess their wild yer. diets. But be his guesses close to or remote from the truth, he is eminent ly sound and satisfactory when he does his best to secure the placing of a bridge over the crossings at the Sloss furnace, and gates at all other crossings in this town.

Gates at Railroad crossinqs.

If this town furnished little business to the railroads, or if it contained but few people, there might be some ex- cuse in the railroads for refusing to place gates as well as watchman at each grade crossing; but when the fact is recalled that this is the heav- fest tonnage district in the cotton states, and that 100000 people use the grade crossings in this city, all ex- cuses on the part of the railroad com panies disappear.
 Why this city should be treated in this exceptional manner no one can say. Not another city of equal i'm portance in this country is so treated. It is an enigma, and no one can ex- plain the neglect that has occurred and is occurring except by assuming that the local authorities-the mayor and board of aldermen-have not properly cared for the interests of the people by demanding due protection for them. In the last analysis the re- sponsibility falls on the city authorI-

This Day.

''Fussing, fuming women and weary, brow-beaten draymen will occupy the public stage tomorrow morning, so to speak," said a man of affairs last night, "while the busy merchant will stand by and quietly await his turn. Many poor van drivers and piano filters will awake from their slumbers early in the morning only to turn over and regret the misfor- tune of their birth. On every hand they meet the slashing tongues of women who have waxed wroth with waiting, and nothing they can do can please.
 "Everybody in Birmingham is supposed to move on the first day of October and those who don't move are required to sacrifice their liberties to these annual travellers for the one day which is dear to the hearts of housewives. Nothing gives a woman more joy than to witness the tearing up of carpets, the demolition of furniture and that most delightful occupation of examining accumulated rubbish with the hopes of a pleasant sur prise in the nature of a torn photograph of some person long since forgotten or the discovery of last winters jacket that can be made over.
 Tt Is true that great minds run Tn the same channel but Birmingham can go the old adage just one better by striking out the word great Here everybody waits until the last minute and then make a grand rush for the transfer com panies' offices. cannot understand why houses cannot be rented with a lease dated some other day than October l. If all the women would have their own private moving day the world would be better. Nobody would be inconvenienced and feel sure the crime of profanity would be lessened among the van drivers and draymen. I would suggest that the Woman's club take this matter up and see if they cannot establish a much needed reform. It would be the largest feather that ever adorned their winters hats"

pEPEW's LATEST.

From the New York Evening Post.
 The Depew Oratory Syndicate (unlim- ited) announces that 1t has put on the market the Depew Patent Adjustable Nominating Speech. This steriing arti- cle must henceforth be indispensable to every spellbinder. The inventor of this triumph of twentieth century genius is the far-famed specialist in this field of Chauncey Mitchell Depew. In view of the fact that during the last forty years he has borne the well-earned reputation of being one of the most ad- unstable men in the country, no one can for a moment doubt that the Adjustable Nominating Speech Is, in a peculiar sense, the expression of his unique abil- tiles. The Adjustable Speech Is also the crowning product of his master mind, and a fitting climax of his distinguished career. After long experimentation with speeches of all kinds, MT. Depew finally hit upon the Adjustable Speech, as the great desideratum of an accomplished or ator. He made many trials in private and finally, having perfected his inven- tion, he brought it to public test yester- day in Saratoga, in the presence of a large number of experts. In two min utes he turned his speech nominating George R. Sheldon for lieutenant gover- nor into a nomination of John F O'Brien for secretary of state. The performance was eminently successful, as shown by the cordial applause of the audience Re- lying upon this brilliant demonstration
 of the value of the Depew Patent Ad- unstable speech. the syndicate will now
 accept from responsible agents tenders for state and county rights.

MRS. BARNETT Y. TIFFANY
 DEAREST WIFE IN WORLD

for some little time. the glances be- coming less timid and more prolonged with the passing of each day. Finally, one afternoon Burnett Tiffany and Elm ma Pierson met unexpectedly face to face in Union Square. This was in June, sixteen years ago. On this occasion the Irritation was renewed at greatly reduced range, and the upshot of 1t was that young Tiffany sought and obtained an introduction to the pretty seamstress, whose sole and only fortune consisted of her use of the needle.
 After this formal presentation the young man became an ardent suitor for the hand of Miss Pierson. There were no more sly fiirtations, but the affair de- veloped into an avowed courtship, which young Tiffany's parents resisted with as much determination as he and his seam- stress sweetheart displayed in pursuing. But parental opposition at ths stage of the affair was useless and before the ex- piration of year Burnett Tiffany and Emma Pierson were married
 Then the ire of the elder Tiffany rose to boundless proportions He absolutely refused to reconcile himself to his sons disregard of his appeals, protests and the threats and confronted the young man with a final warning of disinherit- ance if he did not give up his seamstress wife and return once more to the paren- tai roof and to his position behind the counter of the big jewelry establishment. This ominous threat reached Burnett Tif- fany just as he was rounding out a ten dnx
 time trying to decide between his young wife and the vast fortune of his father, but finally in response to the last appeal from his family he did what few men placed in his position would have done gave up the girl.
 After having been married but ten days young Tiffany and his bride sepa- rated. She went to East Orange, N J., where she has lived ever since with her mother, and from the day of their part ing sixteen years ago to this they have not met or spoken to each other. In 1891 Mrs. Tiffany obtained a divorce from her husband, but neither he nor she has married, and at the time proceedings were instituted for legal separation Mrs. Tiffany declared that she loved her hus- band as much as ever but in order that he might not suffer at the hands of his father she would obtain a divorce.
 But with characteristic flrmness MT. Tiffany made his son pay for the dis obedience he showed in marrying against the will of his parents, and now that the disposition of the estate has been made known Burnett finds that he not only lost his pretty young wife but that he fared badly in the distribution of his fathers property as we'll
 Mrs. Tiffany is now a woman of B years. Her blue eyes that won the heart of Burnett Tiffany through the jewelry house window have lost none of their luster, and, while her face is not what the critics call pretty, 1t is exceedingly pleasing. She has beautiful teeth and voice that is described as intensely fas- cinating.
 The question now being asked by friends of young Tiffany is, Twill he re- marry her now that he knows of tho grievance his father treasured against him for years"

ten dozen oyster plates, ten dozen fish plates twelve 18-inch platters, twelve 1s- Inch platters.
 The cups and saucers will each also have the great seal inscribed upon them. The great seal contains, when colored. an American eagle with white head and white tail. The rest of the bird is brown with the exception of the talons. which are yellow. In one talon the eagle holds an olive branch with thirteen olives, and in the other talon thirteen arrows. The shield is red, silver and azure blue, and the constellation over the head of tho eagle Is azure blue with stars of silver, thirteen in number. Tn the beak of the eagle is the motto ''E Furious Unum.''
 The last dinner service for the use of the white house was purchased in 1880. during the administration of President Hayes, and for some time past has been inadequate for state and other occasions. That service was designed by Theodore R. Davis and its decorations were ex- clusively of American animals, birds, fishes and flowers It was manufactured by Haviland of Limoges, France. The designs were made in water color and were bold and striking. It was an elab- crate service, but 1t is said it was per- haps i'll suited for the needs of the house of the President of the United States.
 The Van Heusen-Charles company has just received from England sample plate of a new china service made for King Edward VII Aside from this ser vice. King Edward VII, 1t is reported to them, has just expended s5o.o0O upon service of Royal Douton.
 MT. Van Heusen had a hunt to dis cover the eolors of the legal great seal of the United States. In regard to the history of its adopton he learned that on July 4. 1778 after the Declaration of Independence had been read in the Con- tinental congress, Dr. Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were ap- pointed a committee to prepare a device for seal for theSUnited States of North America. The design did not meet with acceptance and 1t was rejected. Then on March 25, 1779, the great seal matter was referred to a new committee of congress, consisting of James Lowell of Massachu- setts. Mr Scott of Virginia and William Houston of Georgia In 179O a design was submitted but was referred to another committed. consisting of Rutledge and Middleton of South Carolina, and Boudi- not of New Jersey. The committees re- ports on the subject were referred to the secretary of congress. Charles Thompson and Arthur Lee of Virginia was added to the committed The members of the committee were assisted by William Bar ton of Philadelphia. Then, finally, in 17s2, the present seal was adopted.
