LAST NIGHTS LODGE.

The usual good time was ON the
program for last nights meeting of
the Women of Woodcraft. and every
repaid for doing so. There was some
important business transacted. and
three limitations. after which the
lodge went into an informal social
session and there followed a general
good time.
The entertainment of the evening
was IN charge of committee com
posed of the "B's' and ''C's''of the
order. and right well did they do
honor to themselves, in the manner
in which they treated their guests.
For the pleasure of those present
they had arranged program which
consi sted of solo by Miss Beulah
Sykes, several piano selections by Miss
Cartmel. Ii duet by Mis- sees Oartmel
and Austin. recitation by Mrs.
Sykes. a dialogue between little
Misses Bessie DeLong and Effie Han
del. Another part of the program
which was much enjoyed was O. M.
Suck with his photograph. and last
but not asst must be mentioned the
music by the colored stringed orches-
ira
Following the program was a very
pleasant lunch. which showed that
the ladies on the committee were not
slow in getting up that part of the
entertainment.
There was a good attendance on
this occa sion, and everyone enjoyed
the evening. Such affairs make
Apple Blossom Circle one of the most
lively social orders in the city.

A H0WLING SUCCESS.
To the Editor :.


Municipal ownership is invariably
a successful investment for the ring
politicians who ''stand in. Craw-
ford sville. Ind. is held up as shin
ing example of municipal owner ship
by til advocates of the measure. Let
us see what the facts in the case indi-
cate. Here are the opinions of a
number of prominent citizens who are
interested in the plant as taxpayers:
One said. 1--WE do own our own
plant, but if we did not. we would
not. for it will surely bankrupt the
city, and then remarked. $50 far
as the cost of the plant and the street
lights is concerned. the venture Is
certainly fearful failure. The plant
can be duplicated today for $50. 600
less than it has cost the taxpayers.
Another declares, "It is impossible
to procure stability, the. ring who
manage the city finding the plant Civ
ing more milk than any other teat
accessible, refuse to make public any
information
Another says: 1.-The ring that ini-
tiated the enterprise assured the tax
payers at the outset that the maxi
mum outlay would in no contingency
exceed s32, 900, but afterward admitted
that it cost $50, 900. while the cost
now ecxeeds s1o5. 900"
There you have it, Mr. Editor. We
are promised today that Grand juno
tion can put in good municipal light
plant for $2S, 200. which is the sum
total of the permi ssible bonded in
debteduess of this city according 70
law. Suppose that accidentally the
cost of the proposed new plant.were
to exceed that sum. who i going to
foot the bill? The taxpayer. by di-
rect tax assessment? Thank you. no.
Now we have only the words of a
couple of aldermen who think they
see an opportunity to pose as public
benefactors that the new plant can be
installed in thorough working order
for $2S. 900. These aldermen have
only the assurances of pack of
agents of electrical supply houses ON
which to base their estimates Ver-
acity is not a moral attribute of a
sales agent. He is usually lineal
descendent of Ananias and Sapphira.
All he looks for is hi; commission ON
his sales.
The citizens of Crawfordsville took
it for granted for long time that
everything was all right, but they
have of late discovered that it is all
wrong After deducting the income
from commercial and domestic lights
and adding interest. deprec iation,
operating expenses and salaries, the
public lights cost SS5 apiece last year
The average cost to cities of Indiana
where the light is furnished by pri-
vate corporations is S65 per lamp.
In the state of Indiana the towns of
Bremen, Charlottesville, Goshen,
Huntington. Kendalville. Logansport.
Madison. Martinsville, Mishawaka.
Mitchell and Portland are lighted by
municipal lights and in each and
every one of them the actual cost of
lighting is higher than i'll the 81 other
cities in the state which are lighted
by contract.

vate secretary OF a Maryland senator" The
witness said that elliott never told him he

Der Of years. but never heard of him hav-
ing any influence in getting positions

CAN PAY FOR sHoVELs.
Decisionoiof Controller as to Capt.
MS Burr's Contract.

A letter has been received by the con-
tro1ler ofsthe treasury from the Secretary
of War IN which a communication is in
closed from Major Edward Burr Engineer
Corps, u s. A. asking II he shall pay for
40 dozen intrenching shovels from the ap-
preparation for the fiscal year ended June
3d. 1t appears that the contract was en-
tered into before the expiration of the life
of that appropriation. but the delivery
could not be made until after that date.
Major Burr was at loss to know how to
pay for tools furnished the army and which
he had purchased. He therefore appealed
to the Secretary of War, who in turn pre-
scented the case to the controller of the
treasury. The letter Of Major Burr ex-
planned nat the tools were mot current
but part of the regular equipment Of the
army, and he hardly thought that regular
equipment could be paid for out Of an ap-
preparation for special term.
He was wrong in his deduction. but it
took three pages to explain. Of which the
following paragraph from the letter Of the
controller to the Secretary of War Is a
part:
I'm making payment under contracts the
question of availability Is determined by
aScertaining whether the contract was prop
erly made within the fiscal year for the ap-
preparation which 1t is sought to charge
Major Burr was authorized to mae the
contract. YOU are therefore advised to pay
for the shovels out of the appropriation for
the fiscal year 1902 5-.

TWELVE MEN NECESSARY.
LHEsI
Size Of jury Required for Condemna-
81 tign Proceedings.

Mr.. A. B.. Drfaall. the corporation counsel
has returned 5fo the Commissioners the
communications of the Bloomingdale and
LeDroit ParknCitizens' Association. by D.
E. Buckingham. secretary. calling atten-
ton to the allowance Of an alleged item
Of 1896 fDr 'thh per diem expenses of the
jury in the matter OF the condemnation Of
land for ,the opening Of an alley between
Thomas and Tpstreets northwest, and COM
planning that tine charge is excessive. The
association inquired If the law requires a
jury of twelve men in such cases.
Mr.. Duyan says the proceedings were IN
stituted and prosecuted under section 1911
Of the CODE, which requires the marshal
to summon and impanel a jury Of twelve
citizens who have no interests in the real
estate to be condemned. The jury conducts
all the proceedings under oath. Section 1872
of the code provides that the jury shall ap-
portion an amount equalsto the amount Of
damages, including five dollars for the ser
vices of the marshal when actually en-
ployed and five dollars per diem for the
services Of each Of said jurors when actu-
ally employed"
The jury awarded 81, O45 for damages and
assessed that amount and the costs, viz
IS for the marshal and $3.50 for the services
of the jury, upon the property in the
square. Mr.. Duval1 says jury of less
than twelve members would be an illegal
jury.

AT THE PAPAL LEGATION.
Only One Dispatch Received by Mgr.
Falconio.

EalcOQ1O.
Mgr. Falconio. the papal delegate In this
city today received the following cablegram
concerning the health of the pope from
Cardinal Rampolla:
Might sufficiently calm. The holy father
has well undergone operation extraction
water"
There was nothing in this message es-
pecially reassuring to those who have
been hoping that change would take
place in the condition of the pope resulting
in the prolongation of his life. 1t was not
regardedAs especially unfavorable. however.
and in Catholic circles there is a very de-
cided feeling that the pope will at least
live couple of weeks longer.
The departure of Cardinal Gibbons for
Rome practically assures his presence at
the Vatican in time to take part in the
election of a successor to Pope Leo XIII,
even If the pope should die within twenty
four hours. There are prominent clergy
men in this city who think it is quite pos
Sible that the cardinal may arrive in Paris
while the pope is still alive.
The reports that have been discussed to
the effect that there Is more than a posi-
blity that Cardinal Gibbons may be elected
to succeed Pope Leo XIII is not received
with much credence here. 1t is generally
thought that the successor to Leo XIII will
be Italian cardinal.
Another fact in connection with the cleo
That Is that only by custom in what may
be called recent years in referring to the
entire history of the Roman Church Is it
necessary to fill the papal chair by the
election of a cardinal There have been
instances In which obscure monk has
been elevated to be the head of the church.
In these cases the monk called from his
quiet retreat to fill so important an Office
has been man known for his learning in
the doctrines of the church.
1t is said that Mgr. O'Connell, rector of
the Catholic University of America, has
taken with him letters from each of the
archbishops of the country, as well one
from Cardinal Gibbons, addressed to the
Roman pontiff. asking him to address
letter to the archbishops and bishops of
the American hierarchy in the interest of
the Catholic University of America In
view of the benefit to the university that
it was expected would result from a letter
from the pope in its behalf the popes i'll
ness carries with 1t a double significance to
prominent Catholics here who are friends
of the university. 1t is generally thought,
however, that the election of successor to
Leo XIII will make no material difference
in the progress or conduct of the Catholic
University here. The upbuilding of that
university is regarded as having become
part of the fixed policy of the Vatican.

A. JOINT COMMITTEE
PERSONNEL DISCUSSED BY sEcRE-
rAnIKs ROOT AND MOODY.
Aiming to Obtain Improvement in the
Military Methods Of the
United States.

Secretary Root and Secretary Moody
were in conference today discussing the
personnel of the joint committee of the
army and navy which it is proposed to
create with the Inauguration of the gen.
eral stan Of the army. The members OF
this committee will be selected from the
general stan of the army and the general
board of the navy. 1t is contemplated that
this committee hold stated sessions and
give consideration to matters in which the
two military branches OF the government
may be mutually interested with view to
securing complete cooperation.
This action is taken in accordance with
the scheme for the general Improvement
of the military methods Of the United
States as embodied in the legislation for
the creation of the general staff Of the
army and the establishment OF q similar
body in the navy. The main object of the
joint committee will be to insure the CO.
operation Of the army and navy in devils
ing and executing plans OF onenSe and de-
Tense in times of war and particularly in
the harmonious conduct of operations at
naval stations, where Notifications and
land defenses have been established by the
army as will be the case with the two
naval stations in Cuba, at Guantanamo and
Bahia Honda, which 1t Is expected will
soon be acquired by the United States.
These stations will be occupied jointly by
military and naval forces, and one of the
duties of the proposed committees will be
the formulation of plans for the joint con-
duct of affairs. in order to avoid possible
embarrassments which might otherwise
arise from disputed questions Of authority
and responsibility.
1t is expected that the personnel of the
joint committee will be announced this at
ternoon. and the probabilities are that Maj.
Gen. Young, who is to be chief Of the gen.
eral staff, will be the principal representa-
tive Of the army, and Admiral Dewey,
president of the general board Of the navy.
or Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bu-
reau Of navigation. who is also a member
of that board, will be the principal repre-
sentative of the navy.
