POPE'S MEMORY
And Good Health Indicated by
Interesting Incident.

New York, Jan. 27.-Signor Lapponi
the Pope's own physician, in view OF
the constant reports Of the Pope's Ill
health, said to Rome correspondent
of the Journal and American: "The
Pope is in excellent health both men,
tai and physical and is looking for.
ward joyfully to the fetes which cele-
brate his % years pontifcate. These
fetes, which begin the last Of March,
continue one year in order that pill
grims from all parts of the world may
attend.
"As an instance of the Pope's clear
memory, at recent reception for the
Roman aristocracy the Pope observed
Marquis Patrini and said: Il remem-
ber you well, Marquis. We met the
first time at Ostend station, so years
ago. You Were with your father"

SURPLUS ENERGY.
How It Is Saved and Applied on Big Con
solidated Lines.

battery is called upon to meet the
situation.
Storage batteries Of the character
referred to were first used on the
Cleveland & Chagrin Falls line. There
are number of sharp grades on this
road. It was seen that hills used up
more electricity than all the level
stretches Of track. The booster" was
introduced, and through 1t the manag-
er Of the Chagrin Falls line was able
to get along with much less power
than was formerly used. AS soon as a
car turned the brow of hill and be-
gan to descend all the electricity was
turned into the storage battery and
held in reserve for the next emer-
gency, which would come just as soon
as the car was ready to make another
ascent. The plan has now come into
general use.

The Big Consolidated Street Railway
company, in Cleveland, has put in
operation a device which gathers and
stores up surplus energy, so that when
more power Is needed, it can be sup
piled without inconvenience. This de-
vice is called the booster" and by
1t the company is enabled to carry any
number Of passengers and run any
number of cars no matter how un-
favorable the weather conditions may
be. The booster automatically shifts
the current from the lines to the stor-
age battery as the occasion arises.
Generators are run to their full capac.
ity all the time Surplus current
above that necessary for the operation
of the various lines of the company
is shifted into the storage battery and

generators can supply, the storage

CHARRED BODY
WRAPPED IN WIRE.
Michael Sweeney Was Robbed
and Burned Alive.

Youngstown, o., Jan. 27.-Micbaei
Sweeney, Of Columbus, was burned to
death in flag shanty Of the B. & O..
railroad, one-half mile west Of Girard.
1t is suspected that he had been
robbed of his months pay, which he
had drawn the day before and that
after he had been tied to a clair wit.

tive Frank B. Fowler of the road
scouts at this theory and thinks that
Sweeney was drunk and that he had
toppled over on to the stove, knocking
it over and being unable to get out af-
ter the place caught fire.

crew of the second section of east
bound freight No. 94. Ed Gallagher,
the brakeman, who was riding on the
engine with Engineer George Green

drove Gallagher back, burning him
about the face and head.
The suspicion of robbery and murder

WhichEdWard Will
Take,
An Insult to Catholics, a
Bishop Declares.
Parliament May Change Form Of
the Obligation.

New York, Jan. 27.-According to
the Albany, N. Y, correspondent Of
the Times, Bishop Burke in Cathedral
of the Immaculate Conception at that
place, took occasion to refer to the
oath which King Edward will take at
his coronation. The bishop said he
wished the world and especially all the
Catholics, to know just what refer
ences the oath contained and while the
King Of England was swearing that
the doctrine OF the divine presence in
the most blessed eucharist was false,
and the sacr..,ce of the mass n super
stition, he wanted every Catholic to
raise his heart to the Almighty and
make a most devout act Of faith. I'm
less Parliament should change this
oath, the bishop declared, King Ed
ward would, as ruler of his kingdom
insult the millions of Catholic subjects
when he took 1t.
I'VE must throw aside all sentiment,
we must look at the facts as they are
in cold reality declared the bishop,
IF King Edward We're to take the
oath now, he would be obliged to
swear, that the eucharist is not the
body and blood, soul and divinity of
our Divine Lord, under the appearance
of bread and wine, and he would have
to swear that this divine sacrifice of
the mass which we are offering here
is superstition or fable. On the
day of the coronation of the King
of England, want every Catholic to
pray fervently to God, to repeat the
apostles creed, to make an act of faith
and If possible to spend some time in
alteration before the bost blessed sac
rament."

The Soul Is Not Immortal,
Says Rev. DR.. Parkhurst.

New York, Jan. 27.-In sermon on
Immortality Rev. DR.. Chas. H.
Parkhurst, in the Madison Square
Presbyterian church, declared against
the popular evangelical belief that all
souls are immortal. He expressly
gave 1t as his opinion that the scrip
lures do not teach immunity of soul
from death and that the soul must be
taken care of in this life else it will
perish utterly, either mt the death of
the body or after long or shorter
period of the life beyond the grave.
DR.. Parkhurst said in part:
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-01-27

There is nothing in scripture or
anything that encourages us to feel
that soul cannot be kept from dy-
ing any more than body, unless 1t
is taken care Of. There is no warrant
from Bible OF from nature for suppos-
ing that soul carries within itself a
policy of insurance against it's own
eventual obliteration."
The sermon is attracting some at
tention owing to the fact that most
Presbyterians adhere to q belief in
the doctrine of Immortality of the
soul.

SCHEME
To Retire Dick, It
Is Said.
Aliens Re-districting
Bill
Will Hardly Become a Law,
However.
Especial Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Columbus, O., Jan. 26.-The friends
of Gen. Charles Dick, of Akron, claim
that in Representative Aliens re-dis-
tricting bill, which puts Summit coun.
ty in same district with Wayne and
Stark counties, they see scheme to
retire the General from Congress and
are accordingly girding up their loins
to fight it. To be sure the new
Eighteenth district had Republican
majority of something like 5000, in
the last election, but it is claimed that
1t cannot be depended on to return
any such majority in the future. 1t
Is pointed out that Wayne county Is
doggedly Democratic and that neither
Summit nor Stark counties can
be depended on to return Republican
majorities at the time they are most
needed. Opposition to the bill Is also
expected from up Lucas county way,
as the new bill puts that county in
q district with Ottawa and would make
it mighty uncertain in so far as the
Republicans are concerned.
Then it is certain that there will be
objections from Cleveland, as the bill
makes two districts Of Cuyahoga coun-
ty and Congressman Beidler is not a
little bit anxious to have eliminated
from his district Lorain and Medina
counties. These counties have been
source of great help to him, both
in conventions and elections, and that
he would object to any change that
would mitigate his chances for re-nom-
ination, no one doubts.
Taking it all in all, it looks as if
the Allen bill stands n mighty poor
show of ever passing, even If 1t should
be so fortunate as to ever come to a
vote.
