GirIish and Mannish America.

When it is here remarked that the
male American is declaring symptoms
of dawning effeminacy no occasion is
offered for indignant reprobation. The
average American has so much thor
ough masculirity that he can spare
enough to dover less vigorous peo-
pie. What is meant is that the nat
urar reaction to the paramountcy of
the American girl has set in. AS she
shares the pursuits, the pleasures and
:he liberties of her brothers and i'm
poses her commands upon them she
secomes more masculine, they more
feminine; her shoulders square OFF,
theirs begin to slope. She dons the
sweater and the blazer and wears her
skirts shorter and shorter: they take
to pink shirtwaists and clocked open
work stockings, and their ever bag
gier trousers, worn so long that they
have to be turned up at the bottom,
seem fashioned on seraglio pattern.

Honor of Invention Is Claimed for
London Physician.
In these days of fast motoring and
high railway speed it is interesting
to recall that it was in July, 1929,
some little time before George Ste
phenson had solved the problem OF
steam transport, that Sir Goldsworthy
Gurney made his famous journey in a
steam carriage" from London to
Bath and back. Gurney was a surgeon
In Marylebone, greatly given to the
working out of inventions in his spare
time, and it took him some years to
complete his first motor" in his
backyard in Albany street. He ac-
complished the journey to and from
Bath at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour, and there was only one disturb
ing incident, when q crowd assembled
at Melksham set upon the machine,
and. having burned their fingers,
threw stones and seriously wounded
the stoker. This Gurney journey
stands as the first example of loco
motion by steam in this country

Rev. DR.. William A Fletcher, rector
of the cathedral, an outline of the
services he desired held in the
churches of this province, and which
will supposedly be followed by the
Catholic churches throughout the Uni
ted States. The plan is set forth in
the following statement furnished by
Dr.. Fletcher Tuesday at the request
Of the Associated Press:
prior to his departure for Rome
his eminence desired that a solemn
pontifical requiem mass be celebrated
in the cathedral, 10 which all the
bishops of this province and the rever-
end clergy of the archdiocese will be
invited.
The mass in the cathedral will
take place on the day of the funeral
in Rome. Right Rev. Bishop Curtis
will officiate The discourse will be
preached by Right Rev. Bishop Dona-
hue of Wheeling.
THE ceremonials and music will be
cf the most impressive character.
THE cathedral will be draped in
mourning within and without for thir-
ty days.
Every evening until after the fu-
neral at the hour of the de profu1das,
ct o'clock, tsle cathedral bell will he
tolled for thirty minutes.
This is the program which has
been adopted for the cathedral. No
doubt the pastors of the other church
es will make similar arrangements" :"

Cardinals Formally Declare that Pope

ROME-Tuesday morning began
the first of those grandiose and unique
ceremonies which follow the demise
of a pope, and, although private, it
was conducted with great pomp aud
was most impressive.
All the cardinals present in Rome,
numbering twenty-nine, assembled at
the apostolic palace to view the re-
mains of the late Leo XIII and to off,

college and camerlingo of the holy
Roman church, had to put aside his
cardinals sign of deep mourning and
was gowned entirely in violet. The
other cardinals wore crimson robes,
with violet Collars, indicative of
mourning.
Within the death chamber the body
lay, with a white veil over the face,
on the bed, surrounded by the Francis
can penitertiary, while outside the
noble guard maintained a solemn
vigil. The profound silence was only
broken by the chanting of prayers
for the dead.
Into this solemn presence came the
mourning procession of cardinals,
who. kneeling silently, prayed. Then
the prelates reverently looked on
while Cardinal Oreglia approached
the remains. For this function the
pope's bed room has been transform
ed into a mortuary chapel, an altar
aft one end. having in the center a
crucifix surrounded by six lighted can
dies. Four candles stood at the bed
corners. The white veil was then re-
moved from the dead mans face, re-
yealing the cameo-like features of the
departed pope, rendered sharper and
more transparent by death. So life
like was the body that those present
had expected Leo to raise MS hand IN
the familiar gesture of blessing.

WAR is SCENTED.
Fear that the Fear East Will Breed
Hostilities.


LONDON.-The Dali Mails Toxic
correspondent sends rather alarming
view o. situation in the far east.
He says Russia's rention of Manchu-
ria, the increase of it's fleet, the dis
patch of reinforcements to Manchu-
ria, the southwark movement of the
army occupying Manchuria and the
defiant conduct on the Corean from
tier, all alarmed the Japs, many of
whom are convinced that it would be
better to fight now than risk the
eventual loss of Corea and the rele-
cation of Japan to secondary place
The Japs, he proceeds, are accumulat-
ing stores and negotiating the pur-
chase of ships and already have a
squadron off Vladivostock, to which
port Russian vessels have been sent
as precaution, and both fleets are
ready for action at any moment.
The Siberian press is declared to
reveal the aggressive spirit of the Rus
sian military party and to show that
the Russians believe they will lose
prestige if they give way now, as
their far eastern empire will be lost
and Japanese influence will become
predominant.
The appointment of Marquis Ito as
president of the Privy council, the
correspondent says, is favorable to
peace, but Russia must retreat or
there will be grave danger of war.
The Japanese believe France and Eng
lang will Join in the expected con-
fiict, which diplomatists at Toxic
think, if once begun, will continue for
years, involving disastrous results to
Japan financially and the creation of
sort Of Balkan difficulty in Corea.
He adds that confidence is shown in
the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

which gradually became slower and
weaker, until they finally stopped.
The news of the popes death spread

most profound sensation. The whole

OF the supreme moment, DR.. Laponni

said:

Leo made supreme effort to gather
together all his energies. He sue
