Pope Plus x Gives Testimony of
His Great Regard for the

Rome, Aug. 6.-The two features
of the second day of the rontificate Of
Plus X were government circular pro-
hibi.ing government officials from par
ticipating in festivities over the cleo
ton of the new pope, because Plus X
has not notified the government of his
election, and the reception = setting
aside precedent-of the delegation Of
pilgrims from the United States. These
pilgrims, conducted by John j. Nc
Crane, of New York, and Father
Lynch, of Niagara university, of Buff
falO, N. T., left the United States for
their journey to Rome to receive the
blessing of Leo XIII, and arrived while
the conclave was sitting. They stayed
here during the conclave, hopeful of
being received by the new pope, and
In despair had packed their belongings
and prepared to leave.
Gibbons Gets Them An Audience.
Just at this juncture, McGrane, who
had been indefatigible in his effort to
get a reception for his party, succeed
ed. Cardinal Gibbons had been asked
to try to arrange for the reception of
the pilgrims, and had promised to do
his best, at the same time explaining
how unprecedented it would be for a
pope, the day after his election, to re-
ceive a foreign pilgrimage when there
were scores of high dicaitaries who
had not yet been admitted, including
even the diplomatic body Neverthe-
less he used his influence and secured
the consent of the pope to receive his
fellow-countrymen.
Their Ambition Is Gratified.
The reception took place in the Fall
of Inscriptions, to which place the
pilgrims made their way, and were
asked to wait. They waited for quite
a time when almost before they real
lied 1t the pope was in their midst.
He walked slowly but with
the firmness of quite a young man
down the long kneeling lire, accom-
panied by Cardinal Gibbons and Mgr
Kennedy, and gave to each of the pill
grims as he passed his hand to be
kissed. He spoke a few words to al
most every one.
Pilgrims Secure . Relic.
Pope Plus Y appeared to ce very
much interested when Father Lynch
presented to him a box containing a

would be extremely gratified If your
holiness would accept this gift In ex-

replied.
Thereupon Mgr. Bisleti lifted the zuc-
Ghetto which the pope wore from his
head and replaced it with the one
which had been presented by Father
Lynch. McGrane handed to Plus Y
the offerings which the pilgrims had
hastily put together. To Father Burke
the pope gave a special benediction for
the colored people.

WOMAN WHO WAS WON BY FORCE
Leaves Her Strenuous Husband and
He Suicides-G Who
Lost Their Jobs

Indianapolis, Aug. 7.-Apropos to the
death Of John Gilbert Shanklin, which
occurred at Evansville yesteray., Rev.
f. H. Gavisk, pastor of st. Johns Ro-
man Catholic church here, who was q
reporter years ago on the Evansville
Courier, says: II was on The Courier
thirty years ago, and was there when
the Shanklins, George and John Gil
bert. or Gill; as we always called him,
took charge. Gil had been practicing
law. The Shanklins were men of
means. The father was one Of the
wealthy men of Evansville. Gil was
well educated, having finished his ed
ucation in Germany. He was a man
of many accomplishments. For sew
eral years he made political speeches
in German.
Companion Of the Brothers.
'"The thing that most impressed me
abou,. these brothers was their great
affection for each other. George, who
died several years ago. was a man of
forceful character; not always prudent.
Gil was more prudent; inclined In
those days to conservatism in the con-
duct of the paper. Whenever we got
into trouble as reporters-which oe-
CURED sometimes then and perhaps
does now-'Gil' would always sootne
the aggrieved person and send him
away comforted. Then he would SYM
pathize with the reporter. On the 9TH
er hand, George would always uphold
the reporter as against the aggrieyed
subscriber Afterward the reporter
might confidently expect good dress
ing down.
Doctor That Nettled shanklin.
'John Gilbert Shanklin was a man
of refined tastes and extreme sensibIli-
ty. He had Travelled a great deal and
had an extensively acquaintance with
prominent men in every walk of life.
He rather prided himself on this wide
acquaintance. AT one time there came
to Evansville travelling doctor-a spe-
cialist. He loafed about The Courier
office a great deal He was a most
entertaining talker and one could not
mention the name of any public man
whom this doctor did not know per-
sonally. even intimately. This nettled
Gil considerably.
But the Doctor Made Good.
Bret Harte. came to Evansville.
The doctor said he knew Harte we'll
and proved it. When they met. Harte
met the doctor with open arms. He
had also spoken of his acquaintance
with Joseph Jefferson, the actor. and
when that gentleman alighted ct the
st. George hotel. the doctor was there
to receive him. 1t was Hello, Doc
and Hello, Joe' For a time Gil
seemed beaten to a finish.'"

II don't blame any one for regard

about the dexterity of the bad men
with the revolver said Montana

think the persons who write fiction
for the magazines are responsible for
the impression that every cowboy
can drive lacks with his six at fifty
PAGES. AS matter of fact, the old
time killer didn't pride himself so
much on his ability to hit a small
target as the speed with which he
could draw his gun. I have known
men to spend more time trying to
get their revolvers out of their belts
in the wink of an eye, than they did
practicing at mark.
LAS usual thing when a man
needed a gun his opponent was only
few feet away, often with his weap-
on cooked and aimed. The man who
could whip out his revolver as he ap-
parently obeyed the order to throw
up his hands was the real artist.

That isn't its official title," he con-

a former Cincinnati gambler who
came South years ago to get even with
live merchants in town who had won
several thousand dollars in poker
game from an Ohio drummer who, re-
turning home, got Daugherty to go to
this place and win his money back for
him. The professional arrived in the
little town ready for business. He
had laid his plans we'll. First he had
sent a negro there and had all the
playing cards bought.
The negro was followed by man
selling cards. The stores dealing in
pasteboards were in need of some at
once. When could the drummer get
an order filed? The drummer told
them that he had a hundred packs in
his trunk-samples that he would dis
pose of at less than cost-and again
the stores had supply. That night
Daugherty was there and in about
three days he had about all the ready
money that could be scraped together
in that vicinity. Then he took train
for the north, but was captured at
Meridian and detained there for inyes-

While his trial was going on he got
acquainted with some of the local
sports and concluded to make Meri-
dian his home. The police attempted
to make it so warm for him that he
would leave, but they didn't succeed.
About this time the city concluded to
dig we'll. Workmen would shovel
away dirt for a week or SO and then
stop. After while, however, they
would resume. Daugherty at about
this time was being fined regularly on
the list of each month 500 and costs.
Then, by the Sd, men would tackle the

for months. One day Daugherty went
to the marshal and asked him how
much money it would take to complete
the hole in the ground; that he would
pay it then and let the we'll be fin

wouldn't listen to any such PROPOSE

Ultimate General Diffusion of Wealth

The outlook may be long one, but
It is clear that consolidation is a
movement that mus. result in an ulti-

average ownership and consequently
in the average income and comfort,
and in considerable reduction of the
difference between the average wealth
and that of those whose possession is
greatest. There is clearly a visible
time when every worthy citizen shall
have become a capitalist with greater
or smaller investments in the industry

powerfully this must work toward
general contentment and the stabil-

Clearly the conception is of much
truer industrial democracy than that

crudely imagines that industrial equal

BY food alone, with a knowledge Of
