Nor yet to cool thy thirst the fountains

What hope has thou. whose comfort
shall he soon?

The Bathing Beach Fatality.

A peculiar fatality attends the public use
Of the bathing beach in this city this year.
Last winter the Ice with which IT CO.
cred broke and three persons were drowned.
Yesterday lightning struck boat house in
which number of bathers had sought
shelter from the storm and one man was
killed and others were seriously injured.
1t was felt last winter that the skating dis
aster might have been averted by proper
arrangements for the entrance and exit OF
the public TO and from the ice. Yesterday $
fatality was. of course. absolutely unavoid-
able. The storm broke suddenly and with
rare violence. The lightning was almost
continuous. and so exceptional was the. dis
turbance that nearly three inches of water
fell in the city during the afternoon and
evening. 1t is not surprising to learn that
at the same time the city of Baltimore was
visited by storm of terrific force, which
unroofed scores of houses and caused dam

Electric Bells on Street Cars.

1t is amazing to learn, from recent pub
LEGATIONS in the New York newspapers
that the street cars of that city are not
equipped with electric signal bells where
by passengers can notify the conductor of
their desire to alight at the next corner.
Washington cars have been thus fitted for
so long that 1t seemed matter of course
that Gothams equipment would be modern
in this respect. Apparently, however, the
managers OF the New York lines have gone
on the assumption that inasmuch as the
cars are almost certain to stop at the next
corner" anyway II would be useless sx-
pense to equip them with the electric bells.
Indeed so badly congested are the streets
of the metropolis that the cars are likely
to be blockaded at any point in the route.

did. The heavens seemed for a time to be

famed in all directions from cloud to cloud
and from cloud to earth. Crashes followed
so closely upon each other that it was diff
ficult to distinguish between them. 1t was
a most deplora BILE chance that one of these
bolts should have struck the staff of the
tiny boat house at the beach and passing
into the ground should have found its VIC
tins close at hand. leaning against the
door lintels watching the storm. Ii is an
impressive fact that the last words uttered
by the man who was killed were in reassur-
ance to a small boy who had expressed his
fright. His philosophy was sound. 1t is
futile to be afraid of the lightning or to
seek a place of safety. and especially to
dodge when the flash comes. There seems
really to be no safe place under such cir
cumstances. People have been killed in
doors and in the fields. under trees and far
distant from them. under feather beds and
in cellars. in houses protected by lightning
rods and those without them. There Is abb
solutely no accounting for the tricks of this
mysterious element. Especially when the
rain has made everything wet and there
fore easily conductive of electricity it Is
useless to seek safety. There is at least
one comforting reflection during the terrors
of severe electrical storm. The victim
does not suffer or know what has struck
him. One of the men injured yesterday de-
clares that he remembers nothing but look
ing out at the boats. then waking in the
hospital. Nature is usually merciful when
taking life in this manner.

America and the PapacY.

The Rome correspondent of the London
Telegraph sends to that newspaper the fol-
lowing:
II am authorized to state on the author
ity of two cardinals one of whom is him.
self candidate, that neither Cardinal Glib
bons nor any other foreign member of the
Sacred College possesses the remotest
chance of succeeding Pope Leo
There has been no expectation in the
United States that Cardinal Gibbons would
be chosen the successor Of Leo XIII.
Not that he is not held in admira ton and
affection by members of his own commu-
Mon and in high respect by people of other
communions but simply for the reason
that the situation does not admit Of his
candidacy. The bare fact that his church
| in America. powerful and influential as 1t
is. has but one vote in the Sacred College
shows how vain would be the hope of an
American pope. Cardinal Gibbons is a good
and learned man, and has demonstrated in
the Office he holds the qualities of a great
administrator and diplomat, but the sue
cession at Rome will not turn solely upon
the personal attractiveness or ability Of
the contestants.
For years there has been feeling in this
country-strong in Roman Catholic circles,
but by no means confined there-that an
other red hat two would be we'll be-
slowed over here. The growth of the
church and it's large possessions have
seemed to warrant high honors for those
most conspicuous in the work of progress.
Popular favor pointed to Archbishop Ire
land and Archbishop Corrgan, the one a
magnetic orator, and the other an execu-
tive of recognized force. as worthy to be
made princes of the church. But it was
npcSibla IN mr. ba wifi
this view Archbishop Corrigan failed of
the reward that his friends thought his
due, and Archbishop Ireland's chances of
recognition do not appear promising.
Meanwhile two representatives of the
pope, Italians both, have found in this
country opportunities for usefulness which
led to membership in the Sacred College.
Their services We're important, but did not
appear to be nearly 80 important as those
of the two Americans named. The see of
New York grew rapidly in wealth and
power under the guidance of Archbishop
Corrigan, and the see of st. Paul has ad-
vanced equally well under that of Arch
bishop Ireland. But so far, Italy and not
America. has profted by this work in
strength in the highest councils at Rome.
Had there been no marked success here by
American ecclesiastics there would have
been no work for Italian special represen-
| tatives to do.
VIII this policy be changed to America s
advantage when the new pope comes in -?
| That. and not speculation touching Cardi-
nal Gibbons and the papacy, however COM
| plimentary and well deserved, is the topic
! of most popular interest in the United
| States growing out of the situation at
Rome.
