Cardinals Receive Their Hats and En-
brace from the Pontif.
A moment or so later the whole
gorgeous picture burst upon their view,
arOusing a perfect storm of applause
and cries of Long live Pope Plus. -
and Long live the pontiff,'' which
were continued until the pope had de-
scended from the sedia gestatoria in
which he had been borne by eight scar
let-clad sediaria. fianked by the great
feather fans. The pOntiff seated him
self on the throne at the end of the
hall. while the cardinals went to their
stalls on either side. with the bish-
ops at the left. Intense silence then
fell over the assembled thrOng, and
then the new cardinals were intro
duced by the master of ceremonies
who, while they knelt one by one be
fore the pope. held Il cardinals hat
over their heads.
Thereupon the pontiff. with real emo
tion. repeated the usual formula. after
which he embraced the five cardinals
tenderly. The newly hOnOred prelateS
arose and went to each of their broth
eE-CdIuIudIS dHu gave anu FeCtlNeu the
fraternal embrace, the choir in the
meantime singing softly. When the
ceremony of the exchange of embraces
was ended the pope rose, bestowed the
rapal benediction on all present, and
then witt N1rew, the halls and loggias
echOing with acclamations as hepassed
on his way to mis- apartments.
After returning thanks in the Sistine
chapel. the new cardinals. with the 9th
er cardinals, withdrew to the hall of
the consistory to hold a supplementary,
secret consistory, during which the
pope granted them the privilege of
participating in and speaking at meet
ings of the congregations. placed the
cardinals ring on their fingers, and
made each of them a titular bishop of
a church in Rome.
The sisters of the pope sat in the
box set aside for the family of the
pontiff. They were dressed entirely in
black, with black wells, according to
etiquette. They seemed quite overcome
at seeing their brother in the midst of
such pomp and adulation, and several
times were seen to wipe away tears.
One of the sisters said after the cere-
mony: ''To see how the pope is loved
repays me for the sacrifice of not liv-
ing with him any more"

CITY COUNCIL CAN
NOT STOP CASES
Judge at Springfield Rules That
Gambling Trials Must Pro-
ceed.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 13. = Judge
Creighton, in the Sangamon circuit
court, has rendered decision in the
cases brought by City Attorney Fitz-
gerald against 10 persons for frequent
ing gambling houses and betting on
races at pool rooms. The city attorney
had been ordered by the city council
Monday of last week to dismiss the
cases, and if he refused Corporation
Counsel SalZenstein was to dismiss
them. Fitzgerald refused to dismiss
the cases, and Salzenstein moved on
Nov. that they be dismissed
Judge Creighton overruled the mo-
ton to dismiss on the ground that
the cases were instituted on behalf of
the people by the city attorney, and
that the council had no authority to
order the cases dismissed. The ques-
tion of SalZenstein's authority to act
as corporation counsel. the city never
having provided by ordinance for such
an officer, was not passed upon by the
court.

DEPENDS UPON sCHUETTLER
What Sort of Work Is Done by the Police
Federal Intervention.

| What Sort of Work Is Done by the Police
Federal Intervention.
| Developments regarding the attitude
of the municipal administration hinge
largely upon Il new official, Herman
+. Schuettler, who, under appointment
from the mayor, assumed the duties of
assistant chief of police. Schuettler
will be in direct charge of police ar
rangements during the contest. His
| duties heretofore have been restricted
| to the north side of the city, a sec

! of the present difficulty, and not pene-
| trated by the lines of the City railway.
Schuettler is the man who tracked and
| arrested Anarchist Louis Lingg after
the Haymarket riot, and subsequently
sent Adolph Luetgert, the wealthy sau-
| sage manufa cturer, to die in the peni-
tentiary under conviction for wife-mur-
der.
Possibilities of federal Intervention
under certain contingencies are being
discussed. The situation in this aspect
was outlined by Postmaster Coyne.
He said: Thus far there is no cause
for alarm as to the mail service. 1t is
true trains have been delayed, but
that it not serious enough to report
TO Washington. The street car COM
pary owns the mail cars, aud by con-
tract is Obliged to run them in seperate
trains and deliver mail at specified
points. There is no ground for OBJ
lection against the company sending
out mail trains between passenger
trains. What else can the company do
if serious delay occurs we will report
the fact to Washington and act ON in

Hamilton and General Counsel Bliss,
of the railway company, after endeav-

The railway officials declare that 80
per cent. of their employees are loyal,
and that if accorded sufficient protec-
tion by the police department they viii
be able to man and operate their cars.
Further efforts to run cars will be
made with each car accompanied by

great difficulty. although the route
was lined with strikers and sympa-

were followed by patrol wagons filled
with officers. Two mail cars ON the
Cottage Grove line made a trip with
out interference.

ence to avert violence. The return

Disorder Yesterday.
Chicago, Nov 13.-Constant scenes
of disorder over district approximate
ly fifty square miles in extent result
eJ from the Inauguration of a strike
by the employees of one of the two
principal surface street railway COM
panies in Chicago. All along the lines,
wherever cars were started, strike sym
pathiZers made desperate Onslaughts on
the crews beginning at dawn of day,
and continuing as long as cars re-
mained on the tracks. The tie-up was
made complete. \ number of cars were
wrecked and that no person was killed
is no fault of the rioters.
First Shot Is Fired.
One man had his back broken and
the first shot of the strike was fired
at Wentworth avenue and West Six
ty-ninth street, where mob of sever
al hundred persons tried to hold up u
train. Many persons, chiefly non-uniOn
street car men, We're injured by flying
stones or spIintered glass. Two wom-

The Periods of Growth

Children born between September
and February are. some authorities
state, not as tall MS those born i'm sum-
mcr and spring months, and the growth
OF children is much more rapid from
March tin August. The eXtremitie.
grow rapidly up to the sixteenth year
then there is n slow growth until IN,
thrticth year. The legs chiefly grow
between the tenth and seventeenth
years. Comparing the general results,
IL appears that there are six periods Of
growth. The first extends MP to the
sixth or eighth year and is one Of very
rapid growth; the second period, from
eleven to fourteen years, growth is
slow the third period, from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows n
slow growth up TO the age of thirty for
height. up TO fifty for chest girth; the
fifth period is one OF rest, the sixth a
decrease in the body.

Assuming the Husbands Nnme

The practice OF the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage origi-
mated from Roman custom and be-
came the common custom after the RO-
man occupation. Thus. Julia and Oc-
tavia, married 10 Pompey and Cicero,
were called by the Romans Julia OF
Pompey and Octavia Of Cicero. and in
later times married women in most
European countries signed their names
IN the same manner, but omitted the
"of."
Against this view II may be mention
ed that during the sixteenth and even
at the beginning OF the seventeenth
century the usage seems doubtful,
since we find Catherine Parr so sign
ing herself after she had been twice
married. and we always hear of Lady
Jane Grey mot Dudley, Arabclla
Stuart mot SEYMOUR, etc. Some per-
sons think that the custom originated
from the Scriptural teaching that hus-
band and wife are one This was the
rule OF law so far back as Braeton
died 1868. and il was decided In the
case Of Bon versus Smith, I'm the reign
OF Elizabeth. that II woman by mar
riagc loses her former name ana legal
ly receives the name of her husband.
Altogether the custom is involved in
much obscurity.
