Every movement made by the Cath
Ole church nowadays is watched with
keen interest by the world at large, and
every new appointment by Pope Leo is
made the basis of articles in papers
and magazines by the most learned
writers of the times. The Outlook
in its last issue says that the appoint
ment of Cardinal Gotti as project of
the Propaganda to succeed the late
Cardinal LedochowsIi, is of far more
than ordinary interest. The Office of
project Of the Propaganda, the head
of Roman Catholic missions through
out the world, is one of special note
to America, since probably no country
offers SO many interesting problems to
Roman Catholic ecc1esiastics and mis-
sionaries as does our own We are
therefore likely to hear much of Car
dinal Gotti in this country, and while
his influence on the settlement Of the
vexed Philippines problem will be
weighty, he is undoubtedly too much
of diplomat to come in conflict with
the American branch OF the Roman
Catholic church.. It had been suppos-
ed by some that, from his experience
as the first resident delegate apostolic

Would you have the world be kindg
Then be kind yourselfl
Hide not gifts Of heart or mind
On the futures shelf
Give what you can spare, and more
From to-day s most precious store
Would you meet with truth? Then truth
You must proffer first.
Life hath need of grace and ruth,
But, through best and worst.
Truth s. gold passes, clear and straight
And is always worth its weight.
Would you honor gain? Be swift
To give honor due,
The deserving to uplift,
Crown the crowned anew
With laurels they have WIN
In whatever work, well done.
Would you be beloved? Then love!
And be sure Of this

THE MARKIEY ESTATE


Judge Lyman S. Burr was Thursday
appointed administrator on the estate
of Philip J. Marley of New Britain.
just after Mrs Grace M. Coholan, Mr.
AIarkley's sister, had made application
for the appointment of an administra-
tor it was generally understood that
Judge Burr would be appointed, as he
was acceptable to all sides, but few
days ago Mrs Afarkley, the widow,
although Judge Burr was. one Of her
counsel, decided that she wanted Will
liam Ward, real estate dealer Of
Hartford, as the administrator. Judge
Thayer, who presided at the hearing,
decided after listening to argument
that lawyer should act as admins
traitor. The hearing was at $50
o'clock Thursday morning. Mrs Mark
ley, her two daugters and Mr. Ward
came from Hartford. Mrs MarkIey
and her daughters wore half mourn
ing and Mrs Marley carried large,
bright red silk fan. All three wore
diamonds.

Human Life the Payment:

Nations have been baptized in hu.
man blood, and each foundation stone
OF progress has crushed the life out Of
some mortal. We daily read the story
of deaths that come through disease,
deaths that we call natural. and then
we read the startling accounts Of
deaths that come suddenly and uneX-
pectedly, to the well, strong, vigorous
and active mortals who are busily en-
gagged in the work of the world.
These latter emphasize the terrible
fact that every human advance, every
evidence of progress, every improve
ment that means a higher civilization,
every wonderful machine, every great
engineering feat, every towering build.
ing and every work that has a form
stands as a monument to some lie
that has gone out that 1t might exist.
Digging and delving among the dry
bones of statistics has resurrected fig
ures full of interest in showing the
value Of human life, not spared to
disease and old age, but taken in the
man progress.
These figures show that through
fierce war each square mile of terri.
tory gained or maintained by nations
of the earth has cost a human life.
Some have cost more, some less; but
began, the records show charge oil
one untimely death against each six
hundred and forty acres.
Each pair of church spires that point
toward the clouds stand for a monu'
ment to grave somewhere. Since
records of deaths by accident nave
been kept they show that the life of
one mortal has gone out with each
two churches reared. All buildings
nave taken part in the same work. A
poorly constructed scaffold, an inse'
cure fastening, parting rope, swing
ing timber, a loose board and scores
of other things that tell Of human fal'
libility have contributed to make this
record.
Men have burrowed In the ground
and dug their own grayes-their first
temporary resting places where they
were to lie in death-where a moment
before they were in active life. Every
five miles Of tunnel blasted from the
rocks and dug from the earth requires
the lie OF one man.

OF Geology in Yale University. "They

san Francisco, May 25.-The most
important and interesting astronomical
event OF the year is the discovery of a
comet practically within the earth's or.

This rapidly revolving stranger is
the Brooks comet. OF which the first
view was obtained three weeks ago.

Generosity, courtesy and loyalty are
the characteristics of a man who flls
his pipe recklessly and rapidly and
who sends forth irregular puffs OF
smoke, but his friendship Is not likely
to last very long, and implicit conf
dence should at no time be paced IN
him. Goodness, reserve and caution
are, on the contrary, the salient char.
acteristics of a man who fills his pipe
slowly and methodica1fy and who
smokes with the regularity OF an qu.
tomaton.
The results. however, obtained from
a pipe are not by any means equal In
value to those which are furnished by
= cigar.
Many smokers carry their cigars in
the upper left hand pockets OF their
vests, and the sole reason why they
do so Is because they want to have
them at hand whenever they feel de,
sire to smoke. They may have a doz
en- cigar cases, yet they will not use
them, simply because It takes little
longer to open case and take n cigar
out of 1t than IL does to take a cigar
from the vest pocket.
OF quite different type are those
who bite OF the end of the cigar with
their teeth, ProdiGals and devll.may

who loans them any money except on
the best security.
Fastidious men. after lighting their
cigars, hold them, not only between
their teeth and their lips, but also

the fingers Of the left hand. and, after
smoking for while. they remov,
