VARIOUS PHASES OF THE
 PAPACY OF DEEP CONCERN
From the New ork Sun.

From the New ork Sun.
 ~ ROM religious point of view the
 V members of the conelave could
 not have chosen more wisely, when they raised Cardinal sarto to the pontihcal throne. had they. from the out set been guided exclusively, as they are presumed to be, by the highest spiritual motives Cardinals are men, and their acts are sometimes prompted by loyalty to personal friendships, or by a wish to assure the triumph of particular politics. When they find themselves, however. en- gagged in the most solemn and momentous function that they are ever called upon to exercise, all minor and mundane con- alterations are apt ultimately to give way to a supreme, overmastering desire to promote the welfare of the Catholic church and of mankind This at all events. may be said of the last three papal elections. In cardinal sarto the Sacred college has found a worthy successor of Plus K and Leo XIII It is the testimony of all who now him that the Roman hierarchy includes no more exemplary embodiment of piety and loving kindness. Plus x. Is sure to be good pope, whether or no he shall prove great one.
 It is, nevertheless, impossible that statesmen, thoroughly alive to the tre- mendous influence that the new pope can exercise, should refrain from trying to pursue with reference to political and so- biological questions What position will be taken by Plus x. with regard to the Italian monarchy, or, in other words to the claim of the papacy, inhexibly upheld by his predecessors, to a restoration of It's temporal power? What will be his atti- tude toward France, which has recently expelled the educational religious orders, and in which the abolition of the Concor- dat Is threatened? How will he endeavor to avert a similar movement in Spain {? What will be the relation of the church under his pontificate to the civil power in Germany? On this side of the Atlantic we are especially concerned to learn whether Plus X. will favor the liberal sentiment in American Catholicie7l represented by Archbishop T-oand and whether he will assist or impede the efforts of our fed eral government to solve the problem of the friars in the Philippines. Political economists all over the world are deeply interested in the question whether the new pope will renew the attempt made by Leo to associate Christianity with social ism in bonds of harmony.
 Some light upon all these inquiries may be gained from a review of the new pom tiff's previous life and further indica- { and in the appointments made by him to such important offices as those of Perfect of the Propaganda and of Papal Seere- tary of State. It Is fact full of sgnif- canoe that Plus X. is not a member of

 It makes woman very unhappy not to have anything to be unhappy over.
 The man who tries to make a lot out of nothing has to work twice as hard in the end to get nothing.
 The sensible husband Is as careful not to get in the way of his wife as in the way of an automobile.

Reminiscent Remarks.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Replying to MT. Samuel Ullman in your isue of 4th Inst beg to say: the date of the organization of "Congregation Emanuer' was taken from the manu- script of my history of Birmingham, compiled from data made at the time the congregation was organized and should have read 1883. The congregation was organized by young Rabbi from Gin cinnat in the Cumberland Presbyterian church near the corner of Fifteenth ave- nue and Eighteenth street The musical programme was prepared and rendered by Mrs. George R. Ward, Mrs. Robert Pearson, Prof. Fred L. Grambs and the writer, assisted by one member of the new congregation, MT. Gusf1eld. MT. Samuel Ullman came to Birmingham the following spring and became the writer's successor, having purchased his stock and rented the store room then occu- pied by him in the 70 Brien Opera House" block.
 I am just in receipt of the following letter from an old citizen of the city, bearing on MT. Ulmans corrections
 Dear Captain: I see MT. Ullman cor rected your date about the Jewish con gregation I am afraid you forget the wonderful performance In which I saw ana Hearu you take part aDOuI August or September, 1888, in the Cumberland Presbyterian church, where you sang a Te Deum in a Jewish service.
 That has always fingered in my mem ory as one of the notable occurrences in the history of ecrly Birmingham, in which a mixed choir including all de- nominations. sang Te Deum for a Jew ish service"

EIGHT RIDDLES AND s4,ooo. o.coo.

Chicago-More discoveries are being made of the serange ways of Col George T. Cline, the eccentric recluse who died or children. and from whose papers a hd- den estate valued at from $4.O00.O0O to $5,- 0OO0OO has been unearthed, Colonel Cline had been a resident of Chicago sixty-three years He was S3 years of age. It is only by a careful reading of every paper he left that the existence and location of his vast property holding can be determ- ined New discoveries of real estate. checks and notes are being made every day He lived alone in. the Woobdne hotel. The house has seventy-fve rooms. He lived there in one room only. He took care, however. that the other seventy-four rooms were furnished.
 Underneath his bed were ranged eight violins, side by side, each in leather case and each covered by a white silk handkerchief. Here the colonels passion was concentrated. For ten years he passed the time in that room. rarely going out but to infrequent meals and playing the violin the remainder of his waking hours One of the eight instruments was an Amati worth $500. This was his favor ite. and no other hand was ever permitted to touch it.
 Sometimes the colonel would not appear for two days. during which time he had abstained from food. He would then go to some small restaurant and invest in toast and hamburger steak at an expenditure of 10 cents. with 15 cents as the maximum Before giving his order he would draw carefully from a pocket of his rusty

 N N interesting experiment was re-
 PD gently made in Philadelphia for
 the purpose of finding out wheth- re or not men able to work. and willing to turn their hands to anything for .fair pay, need be without employment in that city. It was made by Mir Benjamin c. Marsh. a fellow of the University of Pennsylvania. acting as an investigator for the Philadelphia Society foR Organ.z- ing Clarity. He went for part of a day in search of work. dressed as an ordinary laboring man, and records his experiences as follows:
 At ' o'clock Tn the morning I ap- preached a foreman at the Belmont hl- tration plant one of the large filtration plants being put in by the city and stat ed that I would take anything to do The foreman immediately offered me work to commence at once or the next day. with the promise of some for my brother if he would come. The contractor also not knowing the offer es .h foreman. prom ised me work in anoths. place.
 An hour later l applied at one of the large shipyards at the other side of the city. and was told that l could get work If I would come at the regular hour for hiring men next morning; they were hu- ing men right along. At an iron works within half a mile of this shipyard trial was also promised me, to begin in a day or two, if I would be willing to take rough manual work. The boss helper at factory in the outskirts of the city looked me over and upon my statement that had fired for a regular furnace for couple of days he said he could give me work the next morning and would 1t me in at something.
 Then two of the large manufacturing companies in the city were vilited and on stating my case work was again rom ised. Then at a contractors office Ut one of the railroad offices and along ihe Del aware piers the same appeal was made for work, and in every case with success. In some instances the employment was not to begin at once, but was promised me Monday. possibly because it was

BIG LAWYERS FEES.

From the New York Commercial
 Minneapolis sends out to an interested world the important-but not startling information that George B. Young, the St. Paul attorney retained by the North ern Securities company in the merger case argued before Judge Lochren and decided last week against the state re- ceived a fee of $10O0O0. He was peciai counsel in the case the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern companies being each represented by It's own regular at torney.
 If the general trend of the comment upon the bearing that Judge Lochrens s decision has on the final disposition of this famous and all-important case be- fore the United States Supreme court is correct. Attorney Young didn't earn his fee. Obviously. the HiIl interests don't think that way. or they wouldn't have paid the price.
 The incident is significant, however. as illustrating the tremendous cost of any litigation in which a largely capitalized corporation getsl involved In these days, and the prnceK fees that corporation lawyers of the hrst class earn. As the Commercial nottd the other day, the United tSates fShipbuilding companys tigation-involNing as it does already, the services of \ score or more of high class lawyers. all around--is eating a big hole into numetous bank accounts, not the smallest byfany means being that of the company it3elf.

Melon Crops.

"The Georgia watermelon crop is so large that much of the luscious fruit Is rotting on the ground, said a Morris avenue merchant. "The cultivation of wa termelons is quite extensive in South Alabama, but our great melon crop is In cantaloupes. Five years ago there were very few cantaloupes raised in Alabama for the market, but today the crop is enormous. Cantaloupes are bringing good prices, and the truckers who ship them make big money"

thought unlucky to begin work on Fri- day. Some of the men who hired s;cvs- dores on the wharves said they wers glad to get men at 20 cents an hour, end they themselves were working fifteen hours
 Back to the city, along the line of a number of establishments, work was promised at two iron foundries and two chemical works. At every place wages were to be $1.50 a day, with chance of getting more if I could prove that I was worth it. In the one instance l was to start at S45 month although my hand writing was a help to me in securing this position. My appearance was slightly against me, and to my statement that I had worked in a gas works and on a farm in summer statements quite true I was told that my hands looked as though 1t were years ago. One foreman of a very large manufacturing company said; T will hire you. but I tell you frankly I am tired of hiring men like you, be- cause in my single department I hire about twenty-five men a week, and they work from two hours to a day and leave, some of them too lazy to come back for their pay.
 As a sequel. the next morning Mir. Marsh says he sent a number of men professedly eager for employment from the Wayfarers' Lodge to these places. and then in a few days wrote to the employers, giving the names of the men and asking If they had applied for work and been given 1t. Several of the en- ployersy replied that the men had not put in an appearance. One man re- turned saying that he had been prom ised work, but did not have any place to board-a difficulty which the foreman told me they could arrange for.
 From these experiences MT. Marsh concludes that, having secured the prom ise of seventeen jobs in eight hours. man able and willing to work can find it in Philadelphia or its neighborhood. He adds that one employment agency in the city told him it could place fifty men at work on farms every day if it could get them to take farm work, but that men refuse to leave the city, even though they badly need work.

FAKE SCHOOL
ON The RACK
Methods Of an Alleged In
stitute Revealed.
Hearings Before the Deputy
Attorney General Develop
Accusations Against Well
Known Company.

A hearing was held before Deputy
Attorney General Fleitz at Harrisburg
yesterday afternoon in three proceed
ings against the Correspondence Insti-
tute of America at Scranton, one
against the amendment to the charter,
one to annul its charter and one against
granting new charter. The protests
were made by correspondence schools
in Scranton, New York, Chicago and
Delaware and for the purpose OF getting
at the facts witnesses were called to
show that the Correspondence Institute
of America was not doing legitimate
business.
Students testified that promises were
made to them that were never fulfilled,
that the institute authorities promised to
buy their work and did not do so and
while they were not charged for tuition
they wore compelled to pay SIS for
material which they alleged could be
bought for dollar.
IIeSIuoul Albou SldIh, VI tuo luSti-
tute, who is also a member of the facul-
ty, was placed on the stand and said
that the degree of M. A. was given him
by boy companions In his younger days
and that the alleged faculty contained
names that were used by him and his
associates as nom de plumes.
witness named johnson, who was
connected with the institute, testified
that he had enrolled as student with a
Chicago school and on securing the
questions of the institute copied them
and sent them out as original. This
latter transaction will figure in the
United States court at Williamsport
when the institute will answer charge
of using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses.
1t was developed that the criticisms
sent by the institute to the students
were also similar and one student testi-
fed that he purposely made the sun
shine in two different directions, which
error was passed uncorrected by the
faculty.
