No sooner had Captain James c..
Sanford returned from Washington
than he began the work of preparing
plans for "A powerful suction dredge,

lied by the government
In thirteen months it is expected the
powerful dredge will be at work The
new dredge viii have ten times the
capacity of the Cape Fear, although
but twice the size.
A daily dredging capacity OF about
3,100 cubic yards is the showing OF the
Cape Fear at the Cherry Island Flats
operation. It requires ten trips to
dump the deposit from it's bins. The
new machine viii have a bin capacity
of 5000 yards on one trip.
The accumulation of ice I'm the river
has forced the American Dredging
Company to withdraw its four ma
chimes from cutting the thirty-fve-foot
channel.
The northern end Of the bulkhead at
Edge Moor is being closed behind
which the dredged material is being
dumped. Already 4,6S6, SSS cubic yards
Of l0,900000 have been removed.
No suspension on the work OF build

LEo's LEGACY.

After The election of Pope Plus there
was considerable speculation as TO the
disposition Of the fortune that Pope
Leo was supposed to have had at the
time Of his death. Finally after dill
gent search and inquiry it was given
up, and the explanation was accepted
that the late Pope was so engrossed in
the spiritual and political affairs Of
the church that he had given little
thought to the revenues.
But after lapse OF four months
Cardinal Gotti presents to the Pope a
large sum and reveals the hiding place
of more. making total Of about SILL
100000. This was entrusted to him by
Leo to hold for four months after the
election Of the new Pope. What Leo's
motive was we do not know, but we
may guess.\ He doubtless felt that a
prospect Of comparative poverty at
the beginning Of his reign would prove
a useful lesson TO the new Pontin And
perhaps he desired that his successor
should get accustomed to the duties and
responsibilities OF the great Office ere
he should have the care Of such a sum
thrust upon him. Thus the dead Leo
yet speaks to his people.

GRIMES RECALLED

New York. Dec. 21. The White

and the murder OF "Old Shakespeare

recalled by the discovery Of the fear

accompanied BY a man who appeared
to be a Swede. and who registered as
Carl Nelson and wife. The man left
the hotel during the afternoon, and an
hour later the body OF his companion
was found.
The woman's throat had been cut,
and the body was otherwise frightfully
mutilated. She had evidently been
killed while asleep, as the condition

where a bloody knife had evidently
been wiped. The other bundle. a shoe

written in pencil "B. Beleno" On the
floor were found two purchase checks,
showing the purchase on Saturday

The disgraceful scenes that attend

FUNDS NEEDED FOR BANQUET

The finance committee OF the Board Of
Trade has made another appeal for con-

The report that there IS talk of the
removal Of Registrar Grohe occasloned
considerable comment, and the opln-
ion is very general that such a move
would be mistake. Mr.. Grohe has
regarded the conduct Of his Office as a
business proposition ana consequently
has not won that popularity that OIL
cials who carry their favorltism into
office sometimes possess. The highest
tribute TO Mr.. Grohe is that in the
management of his Office everybody
has had to conform to the rules, rich
or poor high or low. And IL is some
thing for the press to say this. since
the newspaper men have frequently
complained that they have not always
been able to secure the attention from
his office that they thought they were
entitled TO. Yet that matters not as
against efficiency.

They win scruple at no violation Of

In adopting the rule that a candl-
date for teacher must attend the nor

cation has taken action against which
we must always protest. The rule

divide the public school system and
maintain a separate system for the
minority separate in the sense Of re-
ligious teaching. The two systems
could be under one control, but in the
Catholic division Catholic principles
should be taught This would give the
minority an equal chance with the ma
jority. This would be just and equit-
able, but not satisfactory to the
Protestants.
THE cry all over is for non-sectarian
education. The Catholic schools are
recognized by the state, but they are
not supported by the state because
non-Catholics believe that it would be
dangerous for the state to support

mo MORE EuNERALsn

There is considerable irony in the
fact that organization has so extend
ed that we may no longer have fu-
neral unless we conform to the regula-
tions Of the union. 1t began with cap
ital. At first there was feeling that
corporations We're unnatural. ana when
Blackstone wrote his commentaries
which virtually covered English law
at that time he devoted but few
pages to this subject.
But from combinations to conduct a
single business in a town or city, now
the corporation seeks to control the to-
tai manufacture and output Of COM
modify all over the country Even re-
tail stores have branches in many cit
les, and there have been attempts to
form a chain of newspapers. an under

So labor took the cue ana Il began
to organize, too. II claimed that il
was a commodity that was worth an

was sound as "A principle OF economies.
But occasionally there are attempts to
sell It at "a price beyond the market

datlon are frequently rcsorted TO.

piled to labor means that the rights
Of no man must be restricted because
he does not belong TO a particular or

tons to the way he combs his hair
would have.
The other day we had occasion to
commend the course Of the union prin-
ters Of Baltimore for offering the truest
assistance TO non-union men who had
been thrown out OF work because OF a

tion Tor the position taken by the Chi
cago drivers who have decided that
there must be no more funerals" in
that city tin their demands have been
complied with. As a consequence the
dead are removed in hacks. while the
mourners take the cars or walk to the

DAVIS ON PANAMA.

Richard Harding Davis writes a very
interesting and entertHning article
for the current number Of the satur-

revolutions the United states govern
mqnt has had a hand. and according to
his story our part has not always been
OF such a nature as cause boasting
The last part Of the story re-
lates TO the Panama affair but il is
interesting to note that Mr.. Davis
does not censure his country for its
part in recognizing the government es-
tablished W the latest revolution. He
says:
Though according to international
morals. our government was wrong Ia
so quickly recognizing this get-rich-
quick republic, from "a humanitarian
point Of view her actiop must be COM
mendod, as II saved many lives. Not
that any one supposes it acted from
