A Times Correspondent Honored.

Leo XIII, by appointing Mgr. Stanley
as coadjutor to Cardinal Vaughan. Arch
bishop OF Westminster. has deprived
himself Of one of the most popular mem
bers OF his household. and the London
Times of one OF its best informed for
efEn correspondents For whereas the
Times" has a resident correspondent
in the Eternal City who is treated with
marked consideration by the Italian
government and whose dispatches and
letters are naturally favored with
sympathy for the Quirinal. Lord Stanley
of Alderley's younger brother, Algernon
who for many years past has been
domestic prelate of the Pope and one
OF the most influential members Of his
court, has been credited with sending
the Times" dispatches and letters from
within the Vatican-which, OF course,
served to account for the fact that often
on the foreign page OF the London
Tines would be found two separate
dispatches from Rome taking diane
trically opposite views.
Mgr. Stanley, who as coadjutor will,
according to the new rules. have the
right of succession to Cardinal Vaughan
as Archbishop of Westminster and as
primate of the Roman Catholic Church
in Great Britain, like the late Cardinal
Manning and so many other English
Catholic prelates. started out in life as
a clergyman Of the Church Of England
after being educated at Rugby and at
Cambridge. and was curate for some
years Of St Marys. Soho. and rector of
the Church Of the Holy Cross at ST.
Pancras. in London. Then he 'verted,
and in short order was attached to the
Papai household.

A Smile-Provoking Moses.

In the directory OF Presidential candi-
dates there has recently been placed the
name Of the Hon. Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, the State chiefly famous for its
mud. it's mules. and it's Democrats.
Among the latter the Hon. Champ Clark
takes front rank
But the fame OF the Hon. Champ Clark
is by no means confined to the State of
Missouri, large as It is. II Tops over into
all the other States where people in the
eccentricities of their nature entertain
admiration for Democrats. and for DEM
ocrats without cant, for such is the
Hon Champ Clark
Above and before all other things he
is Democrat. And that is why the old
rock-ribbed. wool-dyed, and yard wide
Democrats OF "Mizzoury" have started a
little bOOmlet for the Hon. Champ Clark
for President. He really needs no intro
duction to the American public, for if
there be anyone who has never seen or
heard this distinguished statesman from
Bowling Green, it is because he or she
has refused to pay the price of admis-
sion to the Champ Clark lecture bureau
In addition to all the other disadvan
tages which handicap those American
citizens who are so unfortunate as not
to reside in Washington, they are forced

Scientists Recent Discovery.

1t Is several years since Tesla an
bounced that he had received a mes
sage from Mars. Other scientists
have been watching the snow melt
about its poles and mapping ont the
irrigating canals that meander over
its surface. And now appears an
other watcher of the heavens from
somewhere IN Indiana TO proclaim
that the sun Is populated with human
beings. OF course, envious rivals are
already deriding his discovery, and
have a thousand reasons to show why
human life would not be tolerable on
the solar sphere. We leave the quar-
rel to them
But suppose it should turn out that
the sun Is inhabited? What a tire
mendous field would be opened for
our cnterprising exploiters of natural
resources If the king or president,
or whoever the ruler of the sun may
be, could be induced TO grant some

nopoly Of all the light and heat pro

paper enough on earth to print all the

Sir Michael Herbert's New Distinction.

SIT Michael herbert new OlSllHGllOAs
King Edwards action in comforting the
grand cross Of the Order OF st. Michael
and St George upon Sir Michael Herbert,
who only received the knight comman-
dership-that is TO say. the second class
of this order-last autumn, constitutes
striking demonstration OF the falsity
Of the stories circulated throughout the
length and breadth Of this country to the
effect that the authorities in England
we're discontented with the ambassa-
doris conduct Of the negotiations with
Minister Bowen.
Far from being dissatisfied, the King,
as well as Lord Lansdowne, appreciates
the manner in which Sir Michael has
managed to extricate his government
from this unfortunate controversy with
out forfeiting any OF that American
good will and friendly feeling toward
England which the late Lord PauncefOte
had so successfully labored TO create
alike in administrative circles and
among the public at large. Sir Michael's
treatment OF the Alaska boundary ques-
ton has likewise earned the approval Of
the foreign Office. and he has thus fully
ambassador to the United States last
summer. when he was promoted at one
bound over the heads OF so many OF his
seniors in the service. Today he is

youngest Of Great Britain's ambassa-
doris. but also the youngest OF the
knights grand cross OF the Order of st.
Michael and OF St. George.
Sir MichaeIs new distinction. unlike
so many honors that are conferred, is

insinuations as TO court influence, for he
has inherited from his gifted father.
