PIUs x lANDHTs GARDEN.


 It is too early to know whether Plus x will make the garden of the vatican his world The lillian government has received no ofncal announcement of the election of new pope, such as been sent to the other governments of the world, but this proves nothing-- it is only an ingance of which the old order projects itself forward into a possible new oder, whether man will or not. We nay be sure that Plus x is too much of a man to make changes and inprovehents offhand without sagacious understanding with the oth- CT governing men Tn the Roman church no matter wlat his personal inclination or iudgent nay be. Months, certainly, and 1t mat be years, will intervene, before the new pope, even If he IS able to make He Roman church as repre- sentative of the Italian people polit- SeaIly as is religiously, can carry so patriotics nd. natural idea into effect. Y
 Meanwhile. during the period when these gr,at things are being worked out, or Ire making shipwreck among themseltes, the Vatican garden will be the dly piece of outdoors that 7Pius X will have at his disposal. After the erany person. seen by him on Wednesday he reharked that he must have abso- iute rest, and his people inferred Ahatie wished to lie down, but instead he vent into the garden. He will go futothe garden very often in the next few months Tn last Sundays New Yor States Zeitung. a certain Herr von Gravenitz gave an account of the yaican gardens. and although he is mol so precise a guide as the red-cov- erd 'sBaedeker," his description con- vfs notion. in outline of what the plce is.

Leo XIII liked birds better than beasts. Sc with the deer. antelope and goats there are common hens, pheasants, white peacocks and parrots. On a little hill is Leo KITS vineyard.

CALAMITY JANE" IS DEAD.
Mrs Burke Was Famous as an Army
 Scout and Mail Carrier.

SGOuL dIlI d Ehdll
 Despatches from Deadwood, S. D., announce the death there on Saturday of Mrs Jane Burke, better known as Calamity Jane" who was a Govern ment mail carrier and scout in the days when the West was really wild, and who was an aide to Gen. Custer and Gen. Miles in many famous Indian campaigns. She was born in Prince ton, Mo-, in 1852, her maiden name being Canary With her father, when she was 13 years old, she started for the Montana gold fields and at the end of the five months overland trip the little girl had become a good shot and good rider When her parents died she was adopted by some plainsme en and grew up in. Wyoming
 It was in 1870 that her first work for the government was done. Gen Custer was at Fort Russell, Wyo., on his way to fight the Apaches in Ari- zona. She went to the fort, donned cowboy clothing and offered her ser vices as a scout. Gen Custer accept ed her, believing her to be man, and she was uniformed and enlisted as a soldier.
 The deception was soon found out but not before Jane had convinced Custer of the value of her knowledge of the plains, and he allowed her to keep up her work. She went through many fights and shared all the hard. ships of the soldiers. In the cam. paign made by Custer and Miles in 1872, her services were again accept

MUST PAY CASH FOR STAMPS.
Postmaster Roberts Refuses Credit to
 Municipal Officials.

The various municipal and borough officials in Brooklyn will hereafter have to pay cash for their stamps or postal cards or go without. For some time past Postmaster Roberts of that place has been in the habit of accommodating the heads of departments by furnish ing them postal supplies on credit, being reimbursed at the end of the month by Comptroller Grout, after the latter had received the prope vouchers from the officials using the stamps. As the rules of the postoff1ce department forbid the sale of stamps except on a strictly cash basis, the postmaster has had to make the granting of credit a personal matter, that is he would ad- vance the cash himself being reim- bursed personally by the controller.
 This had been going on so long that some of the departments got the idea that some of the departments got the idea that this accommodation was q right rather than "a favor. Sometimes they would neglect to send in their stamp vouchers to the controller on the proper day, and Postmaster Rob- erts had to wait for his money for six ty days and even longer. Increasing advantage was taken of his kindness, until it became necessary for him to advance from his own pocket from S1, 300 to $2, GOO month for stamps used in the Brooklyn departments. Recent ly he decided that he could not contin- lle this practice any longer. He made a special request to the postoffice de- partment in Washington that he be all lowed to furnish stamps on credit to the municipal and borough depart ments and was informed that sales on credss could not be sanctioned.

The Minister Won.

A minister was one day walking along 8. road, and to his astonishment he saw crowd of boys sitting in front of a ring with small dog in the center. When he came up to them, he put the following question: What are you doing to the. dog?" One little boy said, Whoever tells the biggest lie WIS it. ''Oh," said the minister, 'I am surprised at you little boys, for when was like you I never told a He." There was silence for awhile, until one of the boys shouted, Hand him up the dog. ."-Labor Leader.

{ Indeed you did,' was the reply of the actor, who proceeded to relate a story that concerned the cut of his friends hair.
 The two had been eking out a lean existence as advisors to those in legal straits. Both having strong leanings toward the. profession. which they finally. adopted, and in which they have since achieved many successes, they had given less time to the study of Coke than they had to the perusal of Shakespeare. Jack, especially, had affected an exaggerated mode of at tire, this being his own vanity even before he had finally broken into the theatrical ranks. On one, occasion, while practicing law, he had been engeged by the plaintiff of "a case where the opposite side had for a witness an old Irish ] man, who's sympathies were all with the defendant. Whenever the answer to a question tended to incriminate his friend his answer would invari- ably be:
 T don't know, sor,'' the constant repetition of which finally irritated the legal examiner to such degree that he angrily, and with some con tempt in his voice, exclaimed:
 Do you know anything whatever?" .'Faix, an do then," retorted the old Irfshman dryly. and then with a significant look at Jacks long tresses trailing over his collar, T know me way to the barber shop.''

DoCKsTADER's MINISTRIES.

From the way the sale has been going all day for Lew Dockstader's big minstrel show at Polls on Monday evening, 1t is pretty certain that there will be very few vacant chairs. Apart from MT Dockstader's tremendous pop ularity in Waterbury, there is a wide spread desire to encourage him in his purpose of going 1t alone in order that he may give free scope to his ideas of injecting real novelty into modern min strelsy. This is essentially an Ameri- can institution, and as such Mir Dock stader firmly believes that his indiyid- ual effort to raise its standard is most happily omened. Minstrelsy brought an entirely new form of the drama on the stage. It. made public an abso- lute native and national music, and it developed the genuine negro own in ventjon. the banjo. With such a rec ord inseparahly connected with Amer ican life, it's death would have been g national 1oss, and MT Dockstader and his manager, James H. Decker, de serve the gratitude of all Americans for having started its revival upon a broader and more artistic scale than ever before Prices are 25,, 30, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

The Gentry Bros performance this season has been greatly augmented In addition to which is presented a min iature geological display, showing the various hay and meat eating animals in their infancy, an attraction which is calculated to increase the joys of the little, folks who are the main patrons of Gentry Bros famous shows. In ad- dition to the numerous company of per forming dogs, ponies. monkeys and ele- phants, which have always been seen with the show, an entirely new innova- ton Is introduced in the presentation of drove of performing Siberian cam els, believed to be the only ones ever educated either in this or foreign lands. The many resources of Gentry Bros combined exhibitions will be properly sindexed and displayed in the combined street parades, which will be given on the morning of the date of exhibition, which is Tuesday, August Il, at Ath- letfc field.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

A woman can hate what a man does.
yet love him for doing it.
Once an honest man was in politics,
but he was so lonesome he went crazy
There is nothing so humiliating to a
woman as to faint when she isn't dress
ed for it.
A girl gets as much excitement out of
an engagement as a man does out OF a
stock market panic.
Nothing makes a prude feel so virtu-
Gus as to discover a hidden meaning
that was never intended.
A man doesn't mind SO much having
the lumbago unless the minister comes
to call so that he cannot swear.
A woman always imagines her hus-
bands love is reviving when he forgets
to curse the cook for overroasting the
beef.
Any woman would cheerfully wear
shoes with holes in the soles to be able
to print fashionable street number on
her visiting card.
The average woman would rather be
made love to in the poorest sort OF
fashion than to make love herself as 1t
was never done before.
Adam had one bit of luck; he couldn't
have any other men held up to him as
the kind Eve might have married if she
had wanted them.
Every wife has an idea that if she
could induce her husband to sleep with
a stocking around his throat it would
be sure cure for his cold.
After woman really learns how to
play cards she can't do it, because it
makes her so mad to have to play with
women who don't know how.-New
York Press.
