thereon. We learn that the Pc

tine voters Of the town. and at
first glance il appears to be 10 this
case, the duty Of the Board TO
comply with the wishes Of the
majority. Bot few moments
thought brings out clearly case
somewhat ont Of the ordinary
Granling the petition has ma
joFily Of the voters a. signers, II
isa well known fact that in any
community, all that Is required TO
secure signatures TO almost any
petition IS 10 circulate It among
the people. aud 10 fact there are
instances where men have signed
petitions for their own execution
Of course doing 80 without read
ing the paper presented for their
signature. Besides there Is al
ways a certain number Of people
who oppose all reform OF change
in the condition Of affairs, no mat
ter how worthy or necessary, and
they are ever ready and anxious
Ito throw cold water on every ef-
fort of the more ambitious u
adopt improvements and keep
pace with the progress of The
times. We ask, shall a few dis.
disgranlled ones be allowed TO put
a check on one of the best ordl-
uanccs adopted in this town fol
many years? We think not.
This ordinance imposes no hard
ship upon anyone, rs we have
said before, and there Is not a
person 10 the town owning COW,
who Is not able TO provide a place
of confinement IN which to keep
il night, and besides this, TO look
ut the matter in a broader light,
q citizen, or any number of citi.
zens, have no just right 10 force

| Is a public nuisance, and If there
ever was one, we end il in the
annoyance aud lnconvenienees a.
rising from the cow-pens that oul
sidewalks have been converted
into for 10. these many years.
The action taken by the BOARD
was a step towards municipal I'M
provcment, and to rctrace thii
step means a blow to all futur,
advancement along this line. We
do not believe there is a town ol
this size in the state where a COW
ordinance is not enforced, ant
rightly SO. But no, we must e
along, a country village, and con
vert our streets into cattle an,
pig pens for another decade a
least. We trust our Aldermen
will see that the good Of the towi
besides its health conditions, do
mand that the ordinance be III
lowed to stand, and in this even
we have no hesitancy in sayinl
that the opponents of this ordi
nance will soon be brought to SCI
The error Of their way.

with P. H. Mcguire, of Pittsburg, as

routine matters preliminary to the
opening of the executive sessions were
taken up. Yesterday morning solemn

lade, beneath which many rested and

nade, beneath which many rested and
waited.
AS the hand of the clock on st. Pc
ter's approached the half hour a rumor
that a selection had been made devel-
oped in the minds of many into a GER
tainty. and each II momentarily eX-
pected some favored cardinal to be IN
bounced as the new pontiff. The crowd
might almost have been one in some
American city awaiting the result of a
presidential election, but with this
striking difference = no solitary sign
tad come as to how the vote had been
going at the polls. Another quarter of
an hour passed, and the anxiety grew
more intense. Not a breath of air re-
Iieved the sultry heat of the evening,
and scarcely a sound came from the
vast multitude. Hundreds gathered be-
low the window from which the new
pontiff is to bestow his first blessing.
Suddenly a sharp Cry arose. "Ecco!
Ecco!" Instantly the cry was taken up
by $4,000 threats and grew and grew
lntil the immense piazza fairly roared
with "Ecco. Ecco! La sfumata" Then
silence fell like a spell, while the thou
sands watched from the tin smoke
stack of the Sistine chapel a tiny
stream of light gray smoke curl lazily
upward.
A great mass of provisions was intro
luced into the conclave through the
wicket gate. Three hundred chickens
went in, together with 800 freshly laid
eggs, a quantity of ice, many liters of
milk, which is assumed to mean ice
cream; baskets, salads, crates of fruit,
etc. All this enormous quantity of
provisions was thoroughly examined
before being allowed to pass through
the wicket.
To a member Of the noble guard who
wished him success Cardinal Gotti
merely replied, ''Thank you, but l shall
not be made pope"
Several attempts to establish COM
munication with the conclave have
been discovered in time, and there have
been some suspicious lights waving in
the cells of several of the cardinals
which were interpreted as signals.
These were Immediately reported to
the camerlingo by the marshal, and ex-
ira precautions were provided to pre-
vent a repetition of the occurrence.
Conventional signs for communication,
codes, etc, have all failed up to the
present time.

WheeIman Named Mccain Uses In
suIting Language.
OYSTER BAY. n. Y, Aug. 3.-Pro-
fame and abusive language was direct
ed toward President Roosevelt and his
family as they were driving up to
Christ church here to attend the morn
ing service. The offender was a resi-
dent of Oyster Bay named Mccain. He
was hustled away from the church I'M
tremendously by the secret service OPP
eratives.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and
two of her children, the president had
driven to the village from Sycamore
Hill to attend church service, as is
their custom on Sunday mornings. Di-
rectly in front of Christ church the
man Mccain was walking along the
roadside pushing a bicycle. AS the
presidents carriage was about to turn
into the driveway leading into the
church grounds it passed Mccain.
without ~provocation the man, with an
offensive oath. demanded to know
whether they wanted the whole road.
This was followed by abusive and pro-
fame language. AS the carriage stopped
at the church door the president, great
ly annoyed at the insult offered to Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children. alighted
and directed the attention of the secret
service officers to the man and ordered
that he be compelled to leave the vicin-
ity of the church. Mccain hesitated
when ordered to move on, but as an Off
Ger was about to stimulate his move
ments he sprang on his wheel and rode
away rapidly. While the incident was
lily. it is his desire that no action be
taken against the man.

ADIEU TO IRELAND.
King Edward Issues Address
to Irish People.
BRIGHTER DAY TO DAWN ON IRELAND
The Tokens of Loyalty and Affection
rendered Have Made an Endur-
ing Impression Upon the Heart
of the English Ruler.

COWES. Isle of Wight, Aug. 3.-The
royal yacht Victoria and Albert has
reached here with King Edward and
Queen Alexandra. The king immedi-
ately issued the following address:
Il desire on leaving Ireland to ex-
press to my Irish people how deeply L
have been touched by the kindness and
good will they have shown to the queen
and myself. Our experience on pre-
vious visits had indeed prepared us
for a traditional welcome of Il warm
hearted race, but our expectations have
been exceeded. Wherever we have
gone, in town or country, tokens OF
loyalty and affection proffered by ev-
cry section of the community have
made an enduring impression upon our
hearts. For a country so attractive
and a people so gifted we cherish the
warmest regard, and it is therefore
with supreme satisfaction that | have
80 often during our stay heard the hope
expressed that a brighter day is dawn
ing upon Ireland. l shall eagerly
await the fulhllment OF this hope. Its
realization will, under divine Provl-
dence. depend largely upon the steady
development of self reliance and Co
operation, upon better and more prac-
teal education, upon the growth OF in
dustriaI and commercial enterprise and
upon that increase of mutual liberation
and respect which the responsibility
my Irish people now enjoy In the pub
lie administration of their local affairs
is well fitted to teach. 1t is my earnest
prayer that these and other means OF
national well being may multiply from
year to year in Ireland and that the
blessings of peace, contentment ana
prosperity may be abundantly vouch-
safed to her"
Copies of the address will be posted
today throughout Ireland.
The king further commanded the lord
lieutenant of Ireland to announce that
his majesty had received from LORD
Iveagh Edward Cecil Guinness) $780,
900 to be devoted to the Dublin hospi-
tails, Catholic as well as Protestant, in
memory Of the kings visit.
Their majesties received a great re-
ception on their arrival here. They re-
NAMED aboard the royal yacht, where
they were visited by the Prince of
Wales.
Cowes is already very gay with peo-
pie who have come for the week of
yachting. Among those here are many
'prominent Americans, The American
