Vests .MinstrelS.

The remarkable success Of the negro minstrel
in the old days may have been due to the min
srcl himself to the negro melodies he made
known, or to the strange and novel instruments
upon which lie accompanied himself. 1t is he.
yond question, however, that not only the wide
spread popularity but also the unprecedented cS-
teen now accorded the minstresy Of today has
been brought about almost entirely by the o-
forts Of the late William II. West. whose big
minstrel jubilee appears here soon. The public
had grown just bit weary OF surfeit of nothing
but limitations OF woolly headed negroes, just a
bit disgusted at the idiocy Of the first part"
gibcs, and just bit intollerant of the vulgarity
of the after-pieces. And SO raptulous well
come was given to Mr. West when, backed ~
money, energy and good taste, he sent on tour
an organization sparkling with clean, wholesome
novelties, brilliant With vocalsts Of world wide
reputation, the entertainment set with a stage
environment worthy of Il Drury Lane spectacle
The Vests mnstrclS comes to the Lyceum the
ater Friday night next. Seats ready Wednesday
morning.

THE SACRED COLLEGE.
Information About Cardinals Who
Will Elect Leo's Successor.

From the Chicago Daily News.
A new edition just published of the
Catholic hierarchy gives the present
position of the sacred college of car
dinals, interesting information when the
occupant of the chair of st. Peter is at
an advanced age, and, notwithstand-
ing his wonderful stamina, in indiffer-
ent health.
The college numbers at present sixty
six cardinals, of whom only three-Led-
ochowsky, Oreglia and Parrocchi-sat
at the conclave which elected Leo XIII.
The oldest cardinal is Celesia. arch
bishop of Palermo, who is %, and the
youngest is Sarbensky, archbishop of
Prague, who obtained the purple last
year at the early age of 2S. OF the
English-s speaking prelates Cardinal Mo-
ran, of Australia, has been a cardinal
for seventeen years, Gibbons for six
teen years, and Vaughan, of Westmin-
ster and Logue, of Armagh, for nine.
Twenty EIGHT cardinals reside at
Rome, holding appointments of great
trust and influence. The others live in
their episcopal Sees scattered all over
the world, but especially in Italy,which
is parcelled into an extraordinary
number of bishoprics, giving prepon-
derance to the italian element in Vat
lean affairs, not only in case of ecu
menical councils, but also in the next
conclave, where the Italian voters
would be forty this year and the non
Italians only twenty-siN, A majority
of two-thirds is required to elect a
pope.
Under such circumstances it is more
than probable that the next pontiff will
be an italian, like all his predecessors
of the last three centuries. Vatican
opinion, the only reliable authority,
varies continually as to the name of the
possible successor to the tiara
