CARDINAL GIBBONS HOME
enthusiastically Received on Arrival in
Now York-Has Pleasant Voyaue.

New York. Sept. 24.-Cardinal Glib
bons arrived here today from Rome on
the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse and
was enthusiastically welcomed by a
large delegation of priests and laylnen
from Baltimore, and ecclesiastical and
personal friends from this city. He
will remain in New York until Friday.
when he will go to Baltimore.
The cardinal had pleasant voyage
and said the ocean trip had recuper-
ated his strength, which had been
greatly taxed by the severe spell OF
fever he suffered. due to the intense
heat in Rome during the conclave.
OF the new pontiH the cardinal spoke
In terms of the greatest enthusiasm.
He said the choice had been most hap
py from the American viewpoint, as
Plus X. was deeply interested in the
development OF the church in this coun-
try and was singularly familiar with
American institutions. The cardinal
was not inclined to discuss the prob
able policy of a new papal regime, but
church administration would ensue. He
said one of the first steps taken by Plus
X. was to instruct his acting secretary
of state, Mgr. Merry-Del-Nal, to pro-
vide for an extensive exhibit of vatican
treasures at the st. Louis exposition.
He said the exhibit would probably
comprise some of the magnificent jubi-
lee gifts of the late pontiff and Il num-
Der of rare historical manuscripts and
maps from thg vatican library, relating
to the early settlement and mission
work In the Louisianan purchase terri
tory, most of which was penetrated by
Catholic missionaries within Il quarter
of century of the discovery of the
continent

responsible for the bad name HE wom-
the world.
Mr.. Howard, who is here ON visit
was asked if it We're true that the drink
habit is making slaves of New York
women. He replied:
The social set of New York, known
over the world as the 800 is AN ex-
tremely fast set. The members of Ii
drink much wine and daily we lleai
stories in New York of some woman
who is "a recognized member of this
set having become intoxicated at one
of the many dinner functions given UNI
der it's auspices and having made her
self ridiculous or committed some act
that afterwards becomes notorious
while under the influence of Wine. They
are not all true, but believe in speak
ing of that certain class, ii might
truthfully be said that the drink habit
is increasing.
The 400 does not, however, innu-
ence the manners or customs of society
in any part of the country to the least
degree. 1t is looked upon more us a
curiosity than a body of people whose
antics on manner of living should be
initiated. BY their fast living the MEM
bers of the 200, and particularly wom-
en- members, have divorced themselves
from New York society and have been
ignored by the more genteel, refined
and temperate clement"

'FR0STS DIO LITTLE
DAMAGE TO CORN
Crop Summary Indicates THAI
Aggregate Of Harm Was
insignificant.
OUTLOOK NOW eRlGH1eF
a Week or Two More Of Good Weathe,
Will Place Nearly All the imna-
ture Corn Beyons Reach Of
Damage by Frost.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions follows:
While the week has been abnormally
cool with general frosts throughout the
central valleys, and as far south as the
northern portion of the central gull
states, the damage has not been ser
ious except in the extreme western por-
ton OF Kansas and Nebraska, the Da-
kotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New
England. The south Atlantic states
have suffered from excessive moisture,
while the heavy rains OF the previous
week over the northern portions Of the
Missouri and upper Missouri valleys,
delayed threshing spring wheat and
caused grain in shock to sprout.
Drought has been largely relieved in
the Ohio valley, Tennessee and the
central and west gulf states. The Pa
cif1C coast states have experienced a
very favorable week.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of
light to heavy frosts generally through
out the corn belt, the corn crop has es-
capped injury except in the western por-
lions of Kansas and Nebraska, and in
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin;
while the low temperatures have pre-
vented rapid ripening, especially over
the western districts, the crop as a
whole has advanced favorabiy. Al
though late planted corn in the Ohio
valley and Tennessee has suffered from
drought, q large part of the crop is
now safe, but the bulk of unmatured
will require from one to two weeks of
favorable weather. The weather has
been favorable for completion of the
spring wheat harvest on the north Pa
ciflc coast. In the Dakotas and Mime
sofa spring wheat in the shock has
been injured and threshing delayed by

soRENEss IN WESTERN.
Baseball Towns Are Not Dwelling To
aether In Harmony Just Now.

Omaha, Neb., Sept 23.-The Western
aeague is no longer a happy family. The
suspension of the organization has pre-
eipitated hostilities that have smouldered
for long time. The owner and manager
81 the Omaha team, William Rourke, lays
the blame for the increased losses of some
Of the magnates to the selfishness Of some
IF the others who back the organization.
Tom Burns and ID. C. Packard cleaned
up all there was to be had ON home
grounds, he said, and when the transport
alton bills confronted them, they appealed
TO Van Brunt of st. Joe. and had the
season brought to summary close when
the rest of the club owners had the
transportation bills out of the way and
we're about to start a home series. Mil
waukee and Omaha were the chief suf-
ferers
Discord exists between Rourke and the
hackers of the league, because Hugh
Duffy and Burns would not supply Oma-
ha with players in the middle of the sea-
son when the team was losing. Manager
Rourke holds that the termination of the
season invalidates the agreement fixing
the duration of the league at five years
and allows him to consider proposals from
the American association looking to the
transfer of Omaha to that organization.
The attendance at Omaha when the team
was In a first class league was 100000 and
Tebeau has aimed at making Omaha the
western city mated to Kansas City on
the association circuit.

oDELL ON CITIZENS DUTY
New York Executive Addresses Farm
ers, National Conuress.


Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept. 24.-At to-
days session of the Farmers National
congress, Governor Odell of New York
delivered an address.
Governor Odell, after few predatory
words, said: THE recognition which
has been given by the national and
state governments to the farming In
terests of our country might at first
glance appear to be In the direction of
paternalism, yet it is as important In
it's effect as any legislation which can
be enacted for the benefits of the peo-
pie as whole. 1t is as much the duty
of the government to aid in the devel-
opment of the soil of the country as 1t
is to protect it's artisans against UNI
just discrimination or unfair competi-
ton at home or abroad, to aid in pro-
zens as it is to stamp out disease or
epidemic which may threaten the lives
Of individuals. This encouragement
which the government extends does
not lead to dependent spirit, but
rather makes our citizenship more self
reliant and more patriotic
The governor discussed the qualities
that go to make up good citizens, say
ing one of the first duties of our coun-
try is to fight ceaselessiy and energet-
cally against all citizens who defy the
law and whose principles are menace
to society.
Governor Odell entered a plea in be-
half of politicians and public officers
whose efforts are directed to the peo-
piles good and protected them against
carping criticism and the assumption
that because a man is a politician he
Is necessarily dishonest. In conclusion
he said
ut is your duty TO use your influ-
ence and your power to better condi-
lions and win back to useful member
ship. by force of example, those whose
environment has not been such as to
make of them good citizens; use the
power you possess, in the halls of legis-
lation, TO correct abuses which may
exist: and to aid in the fight which Is
being made against philanthropic and
benevolent people against disease and
crime, among those to whom Gods
bright sunlight is almost unknown: to
mid those who do not enjoy the adj
vantages necessary to give to them
that conception of what liberty in our
country means, that understanding so
essential to good citiZenShip'
