Pope Leo's Successor Chosen.

The conciave, after being in ses-
sion for four days, on Tuesday
elected Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch
Of Venice, as Pope to succeed Leo
XIII. He was chosen to the papal
throne on the seventh ballot and
announced that he would assume
the title of Plus X.
Pope Plus X is SO years old. He
was born at Riese on June 2, 1885,
and was created a cardinal in 1898.
He was one of the most learned of
the cardinals and is noted for his
liberal views. Sarto was educated
in the Salesian Institute at Cotto-
lengo. For the most of his years
he was parish priest in the prov,
ince Of Venice, finally becoming a
bishop. He brings to his high
Office the character of most attrac-
tive modesty, deep learning, unus-
ual energy and fine qualities as an
administrative officer and organizer.
AS Pope Plus X it is more than
probable that the new Pope will
devote himself to the religious af-
fairs of the church and will pay
small attention to politics. The
date upon which the coronation of
Plus X will occur has not yet been
officially decided, but the impress
sion prevails that it will occur
August 8.

ProhibiteFy Law Sustained.

The Circuit Court for Cecil
County reconvened at Elkton on
Monday, for the purpose of render
ing a decision in the Cecil county
liquor license case. In May last
Delphos Price, proprietor of the
FELTON, House, Elkton, petitioned
the court for a writ of manda-
mus to compel the Board of Liquor
Commissioners to issue to him a
license to sell liquor at his place
of business, Notwithstanding a local
prohibitory law went into effect on
the first day of May.
The court was in special session
June 20 and heard argument of the
plaintiffs counsel-Thomas n. VI
man, of Baltimore city-who claim
ed that the prohibition law was
unconstitutional.
The court on Monday overruled
a demurrer of the plaintiff. This
means that the law is constitution
al and was properly submitted to
the voters of Cecil county for de-
cisiOn at the election last fall.
The liquor license advocates will
take the case to the Court of APP
peals, and unless that body de-
clares the law Ineffective, Cecil
county will remain dry for four
years from the first day of May last.

Not Over W Use.

There is an old allegorical picture of a
girl scared at a grass-hopper, but in the
act of heedlessly treading on snake.
This is paralleled by the man who spends
a large sum of money building cyclone
cellar, but neglects to provide his family
with bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as safe
guard against bowel complaints, whose
victims outnumber those of the cyclone a
hundred to one. This remedy is every
where recognized as the most prompt aud
reliable medicine in use for these diseases.

The Populists of the United States, in
national convention at Denver last week,
effected all amalgamation of the factions
into one party, declaring that experience
had demonstrated the futility of securing
the enactment of the reforms they advo-
Gated through either the republican or
democratic parties, aud opposing any
further utilization with either. The decla-
ration of principles asserts that the man.
ifest unrest which everywhere appears in
the nation demonstrates the dissatisfac-
ton of the American people with the
present management of the government,
and argues the necessity of the reform
forces coming together in united action at
the ballot box to obtain proper legislation
whereby the right of the people to self
government may be had for themselves
and their posterity.
The platform demands governme mt
ownership of railroads and telegraphs;
extension of American shipping without
a cent of subsidy; abolition of alien
ownership of land; money coined and
issued exclusively by the government,
and made full legal tender for all debts,
both public and private; optional refer
endum and initiative and the recall OF
derelict officials.

Ex-Governor Lloyd Lowndes is quoted
as being in philosophical frame of mind
concerning the political situation in the
State. In reply TO the direct inquiry as
to whether he was candidate for the
republican nomination for Governor Mr..
Lowndes said he had been spoken of and
spoken to great deal upon the subject,
but at this time could not answer the
question satisfactorily. His position had
not been determined, except that he
would not go into primary election con-
test for the nomination. The ex-Gover-
nor modestly says: eff the State Conven-
vention should offer me the nomination
for Governor it will be for ME to consider
it. But of course will neither accept it
nor refuse if before it is offered"

Friday, Aug. z, 1903.

The democratic papers of Maryland
hail Senator Gormans return from abroad
with joy, looking upon him as the Moses
who will lead the party in the State out
of the wilderness of uncertainty and
doubt, where it has long been hopelessly
lost, all the little would-be leaders being
afraid to express an opinion before first
consulting the "boss" and obtaining his
views. Columns have been devoted to
interviews with the Senator, and he has
expressed the opinion that with proper
platform and with other favorable condi-
tons the democratic party can win the
Presidency next year. The "proper
platform" he thinks, is the time honored,
thread-bare tariff. All the live questions
of the day are SHE'D at, the Senator de-
claring that "revision of the tariff"
should be the issue of the next election.

Ru.,ne.. pnte, from 1ess.

There are many firms whose history
is known since their foundation in the
eighteenth century, and some who
claim, and probably with justice, to go
back to the seventeenth century. The
publishing houses of Longmans. Rv-
ingtons and Murrays are instances, and
the names of many bankers will inn
mediately occur to many readers; but
among wholesale druggists and the
analogous trade of drysaultery there
are also a large number. Of the for
mer Messrs. Corbyn date from earlier
than 1870, and of the latter Messrs.
Pott, of Southwark, claim to date from
1655.-Notes and Queries.

Our Remaining Forests.

An official estimate made of the for
est area of the United States puts it
at 700,000,000 acres. Had the forests
been intelligently managed the amount
of merchantable timber in them would
be ten times as great. The science of
forestry is now taught in more than
40 schools. Yale and Cornell univer-
stiles and the special college at Bilt-
