that bees are dangerous and malici.

right to keep them In unreasonable
numbers or in an improper place.
Both decisions may be set down
among the curiosities of legal wisdom
with the decision that pigeons are no.
domestic animals, that frogs are fish
and that horses are cattle. It has at

A NEW POPE.

THE Sacred College at Rome
has finally elected a Pope, and
the choice has fallen upon Cardl-
nal Sarto, of Venice. The new
Pontiff has chosen the title OF
Pope Plus x, and will henceforth
be known by that name. Sarto
is described in all the dispatches
as ga great and liberal man,
and the whole ROmOn church
seems to have united in approval
of the choice. Following is a
brief biographical account of the
new Pope:
Giuseppe Sarto was born in
Riesi, diocese of Treviso, June
2. 1885, and was created cardinal
by Leo XIII, at the Consistory of
June r., 1893, receiving the title
of S. Bernardo dele Terme. He
is also Patriarch of Venice since
June 1893, and Bishop of Man
5ua. He belongs to the ecclesi-
astical congregations of bishops
and regulars, sacred rites, indul-
gences and sacred relics.
Cardinal Sarto enjoys great
popularity in his diocese, and is
honored by all for his purity. for
the strict uprightness of his life,
and for liberal ideas. He is a
modest and agreeable man, high
ly cultivated, very nd-hearted.
still strong and robust in spite
oe his 90 years. He has never
taken great part in the political
and public life of the church; but
divided his time between study
and good works. Although
most faithful to the Holy See he
was presented to the King and
Queen of Italy in Venice. He
may be considered among the
more liberal members of the
italian episcopate and Sacred
College. He is rather timid in
expressing an opinion. 1t is
said that Leo XIII, always
thought highly ofahim, and sided
with him on one occasion when
arto disapproved of Rampollia's
policy.

WHY NOT CHANGE THE NAME.

THE TIMES has a suggestion to
make to the school board, and it
is simply that the name of the
High School building be changed,
The "Walker School House
means nothing to the average
Wasburnite. While the school
was originally named after a
most excellent former Citizen OF
the city who had gone to his long
rest, yet there are few people
in washburn today who really
attache any Significance to the
name which the school building
now bears. There is no use of the
structure in the city continuing
to carry a name almost without
meaning, and The TIMES offers
the suggestion that some more
appropriate and fitting name be
adopted.
