stated to the gentlemen that the peti-

somewhat excited and stated that Mr.,

cause he did not get fee. Mr.. Cole

and stated that Mr. Monks statement
was not true, and the air looked blue
and muddled for spell, but after the
matter was explained by Mayor Bell
who told the council and visiting citiz
ons that it was not the duty of the
city attorney to prepare petitions for
the people, matters again became
quiet. DR.. Thompson then arose
and soon put the whole council and
audience into laughing humor. He
said that he thought any one could
draw up petition and that he had
drawn the first one himself, but he
had been shown" like the man from
Missouri, that it really required

he thanked Mr.. Coleman for his ef
forts to help the petitioners and the

THE PopE On, W ,ED.

The church Of Rome has a new pope,
duly crowned" and pronounced the
father OF princes and kings the rector
OF the world. the vicar on earth or our
Savior" The world will now watch
with much interest for the course the
new pontln win take, and in this re-.
spect the future cannot always be
judged by the past for the pope some-
times Is different man from the car
dinal But the probability Is that the
policy OF his predecessor will not be
devlated from essentially Plus X Is
portrayed as an humble, loving, earnest
leader Of men, With those qualities he
cannot fan II is said OF him that he
asplred to no honor except that OF do.
Ing good, and that he had no strength
in the conclaye outside his own char.
acter and his good works. "He was
not favored, says one who visited him
two years ago, with influential rela.
lions enjoyed BY some OF the other car
dinals In fact, he was the humbest OF
them all but his worth shone out and
placed him above them ALL"
1t Is again recalled that those who
believe IN the predictions OF would be
prophets WIN find II difficult to reconcile
the prophecies with the fulnlment. As
everybody has heard, the so-cailed
psoudo-Malachl foretold the reign of
Leo XIII as lumen In coelo--"light in
heeven'-and 1t IL pointed out that
Leo's coat OF arms included a star and
that his brilliant qualities made him a
heavenly light, indeed. For Leos sue
cessor the motto is ignis ardens-a
flaming fire" The flames In Cardinal
GottPs coat of arms made him a ia
vorlte with one party, whereas another
applied the forecast to Cardinal svam-
pa, since yampa IL the Italian word for
flame, II may be safely said, though,
that those who are so disposed viii be
able TO find many reasons why the new
pontItf deserves the title of Flaming
fire -
