MoRTUARY CHAPEL.
Will Be Used for Burial of New Yorh
 Priests.


 New York, Aug. H.-An architect has completed plans for a mortuary chapel in Cavalry cemetery, on Long Island, with an underground cavern for the burial of priests. resembling the catacombs of Rome,
 The idea is one which Archbishop Far ley conceived while travelling through Rome about two years ago. It occurred to him at that time that the archdiocese of New York with its larger number of priests. should have some such place for their burial.
 outwardly there will be little to indicate the size of the catacombs, 1t being in- tended that the chapel shal stand over them. The caverns, 1t is intended, how ever, shall occupy a space of about two acres, fifty feet below the surface. The walls will be of hewn granite.
 Should the plans be carried out, it will be the first imitation of the ancient cata- combs in this country. The nearest ap- proach of any thing of the kind exists at the monastery of the Passionist monks in West Hoboken. Under that institu- ton there is a huge underground vault, some seventy feet beneath the chapel. There clothed in the habit of that order the most austere in the Catholic Church. lie resting on bricks, the remains of the founders of the order. The custom of so disposing of the bodies was discon- | tinued about two years ago, because of legal barriers.

Mark Twain Describes Hawaii.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
 For four month in 1866 Mark Twain lived and Worked-rin his way-in Honolulu. He did one serious piece of newspaper re- porting while there in describing the ter rible experience of some shipwrecked men. but most of his writing was humor- ous. Many years after leaving that par adise of the Pacific, however, he published the following. There is not funny line in 1t. but it is a beautiful tribute to the fascination of Hawaii: No land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me. but that one; no other land could so longingly and beseechingly haunt me sleeping and waking, through more than half lifetime. as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; oth- er things change, but it remains the same. For me it's balmy airs are always blow Ing, It's summer seas flashing in the sun the pulsing of its surf beat is in my ear; l can see Its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades. its plumy palms lowing by the shore. its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud rack; I can feel the spirit of its woodland solitude; I can hear the splash of its brooks; in my nos trils still lives the breath of flowers that perished years and years ago."

Vessels Crew May Be Argonauts
 Filibusters or Smugg1ers.
 Chicago, Aug. H.-The Tribune today says:
 Six men who sailed away from Chicago in search of 8 gold mine in the wilds are now under arrest at Turks Island in the West Indies, suspected of filibustering. Their arrest and the detention of their schooner Mercury has been laid before the Secretary of State.
 Charles Corrigan, a Texas cowboy, came to Chicago last fall and after watching lake sailors for a month took five in his confidence.
 Corrigan said he had d map showing the location of a gold mine rivaling that of King Solomon. His story was that it's discoverer had been driven out by natives and when he died on 8 ranch he gave the drawings to Corrigan.
 The Mercury sailed for New Orleans in october. It was to cross the Gulf of Mexico and cruise along the coast of Hardin was the master and owner &C., eording to the ships papers, and Emil Won Boroucke was the first mate.
 When the Mercury crept into the har- bor at Turks Island the American and British consuis discovered many suspi- cious circumstances. The schooner's had papers from Chicago but could not ac- count for the time which had elapsed since they had been taken out. Hardin was no longer master. The vessel was held until the business of its owners could be investigated.

published of late on the subject of the effect of music on mosquitoes that some facts on the question may not be unin- teresting. To begin with, 1t is some what strange that the newspapers which have lately had so much to say about it have failed to give credit where 1t belongs, or to even mention the man who really. made the discovery which started the discussions and investigations.
 So far as we have been able to learn the discovery of the effect of musical sounds on mosquitoes was made by MT. dP. Weaver. who is now the corre- spondent of the Associated Press in this city and is connected with The Adver-

APPLE CROPS.

pected to be Aeasoha "i
 The apple crop of this year In the cen trai States and Canada will exceed any in the history of agriculture In America. Not only will this friut be aounddnt, but 1t will also be excellent in quality Last years crop was good, but It was aHected with A fungus growth that caused the ap- nle to rot quickly when placed In storage for winter use. Ihls year ticle IS Ho sign of that pest.
 The renort of the International Apple Association, based on a comparison of the crop of 1902, shows great gains in ohio. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Nova Scotia, while the Indiana crop is noor The figures of the report show that Ohio gained 10 per cent this year, West Virginia and Virginia 250 per cent each, while other parts of the country show a corresponding increase of the crop over last year.
 The large percentages given for Nova Scotia. Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl- yania indicate an excellent crop where a very short crop or failure existed last year.
 The crop in New England, New York and Ontario last year, while large, was of such poor quality that the percentage of No. apples was very small; this year, although the crop is lighter, the pros pective quality of the apples is much bet ter, and, with Pennsylvania, Maryland Virginia, West Virginia, Nova Scotia and Pacific coast States, more than offsets the small crop and poor quality in other States.

We do not know of a more significant anstance of cause and effect in connection with public heaIth than is shown by the records and data of Lawrence, Mass. The water of the city is supplied from the Aaerrimac River. Above Lawrence the sewage from Lowell and other cities, towns and villages is emptied into the hGerrimas and finds its. way direct to Lawrence. In 1889 the deaths from ty- phoid fever amounted to 137 for each E000O0 inhabitants, or at that rate. Through the exertions of the health au- thorities the rate had fallen to Ill in ass2. Then a filtration plant was estab- nshed. which has been continually inn proved till in 1896 the death rate had fallen to trife over IS per 100000, and the improvement Is kept up. It shows fir the plainest manner the relation of i'm pure water to disease, and the remedy.

Tennessee All Right.

Chattanooga Times.
 The esteemed Montgomery Advertiser is at some trouble in replying to a recent editorial In The Nashville News, edited by the Hon. Jere Baxter, in which the genial colonel tells how only the ''trooly loil' Democrats of Tennessee are going to do up things preparatory to the next na- tional convention. The Advertiser is re- though a very spicy and readable news paper, isn't really, as a matter of fact, the custodian of the Tennessee Democ- racy, nor does it. so far as our observa- ton goes, represent either the rank or file of the party. The News does a lot of fanfarinading, but the resolution making 1t the. official organ and inspired spokes- man hasn't yet been adopted even by the regulars" Our Alabama contempd- rary need have no fear for Tennessee. Our leading politicians have witnessed the ''vision," and they're not going to take any further chances with Populist tom foolery. The Nashville News is simply talking through its hat when it as sumes to speak for the Democratic party in the State,

Pope. he wears . nickel watch at the end of cheap stlk guard and speaks with the unaffected simplicity of peasants . son. He shrinks instinctiveiy from the traditional homage of the Vatican reti- raue, and wishes to have ceremonial and etiquette dispensed with so far as may be possible. He embraces cardinals who attempt to kiss his hands and feet and seeks to set an example of humility tn relaxing the rigorous etiquette which has been established during recent reigns. He talks familiarity, yet without sacrific- ing his dignity whenever he is ap- proached by cardinals and officials, and he dislikes to dine alone in solemn state, or to be reyerenced and well-nigh wor- shiped as a superied being whose com- mon clay has been transmitted to gold by his translation from Venice to the vati- can. The peasant Pope at the opening of his reign is eager to establish a new order of democratic simplicity at the Vatican, based upon the sovereignty of the Ffsherman's Ring. Probably his ar- dor vii be chilled when he discovers how ready every one is to fall down and kiss his feet; but he can hardly fail to be a very human Pope.

The Laidlaw-sage Case.

The announcement that the Wall Street firm of Laidlaw & Carrie has suspended revives the story of MT. Laidlaw's cele- brated suit against Russell Sage. When the crank, Norcross, threw the bomb at MT. Sage in 1891 Laidlaw happened to be near and 1t was alleged that Uncle Rus sell seized him and used his body as a shild against the exploding bomb. Whether this was true or not, it is certain that Laidlaw received injuries which made him an invalid for life and Sage escaped unhurt. When Laidlaw got out of the hospital he sued Sage and got verdict of $25.0O0. Later this was vacated on a technicality and Laidlaw sued again. This time he was awarded $43, 0O0 but Uncle Russell carried 1t higher up After litigation that extended over two years Laidlaw finally gave up in dis
