LANDS OF THE FRIARS.
Arbitration Proposition Not Well Re-
ceived-ReIfgfous Orders Defiant.


ROME, May 3.-Cardinal Rampolla to-
day received. in private audience. the Rev.
Edward ]. Vattmann, chaplain for the
T~wenty-ninth United States Infantry, who
presented his report of the situation Of
Catholicism in the Philippine Islands. 1t
appears that the idea of having recourse
to arbitration in the matter OF the pur-
chase of the friar lands. which was again
favored after Archbishop Guidi's arrival at
Manila, Is now looked upon coldly by the
interested parties. Governor Taft and his
colleagues of the Philippine commission are
In doubt Of the feasibility OF again pro-
posing arbitration. fearing that the friars
and the promoters of the companies inter-
ested in the sale of the lands may reject
the proposition. Archbishop Guidi is faith
fully carrying out the instructions which
he received in Rome, but the friars OPEN
ly disregard them, denying the right of in
reference on the part of the Pope i'm a
question which they consider to be entire
~ under the jurisdiction of the orders
whose interests are involved. However. the
hopes entertained of the acceptance of arbi-
tration have not entirely been abandoned.

last year. Chaplain Vattman presented to
the Pope Miss NJ. f. Brown, of Fort Sher-

Unfortunate Case of n Millionaire.

Philadelphia RECORD.
"A handsome young millionaire of this
town. said a lawyer. has been refused
i'm marriage by two girls. To be young, TO
be handsome, TO be a millionaire and 10 be
refused In marriage-doesn't that seem in
credible? The poor fellow is so discour-
aged that for some months he isn't likely
TO propose again. His hard luck Is due
TO a condition of his fathers will-a clause
requiring the young woman who accepts
him TO undergo a physical examination at a
nhysician's hands, showing thus that she
is reasonably perfect. in a bodily way.
should he marry a girl without this ex-
animation he would lose his whole for
tune. The young mani don't mind ad-
hitting he's a clinet of mine-almost got
the first girl to the point of UNDERGOING
the examination. Her father got wind OF
the matter. however, and pulled every
Trims up short. He was furious. The Sec
ond girl, as soon as my young friend ad-
yanced sheepishly his physical examination
proposal. ran out OF the room. and sent
him the next day a written request not
to try to see her again. I am watching the
Youths life with interest. Maybe. despite
his millions. he will have to remain a
bachelor. Maybe the physical examination
will prove a pill too big and bitter for
any nice girl TO swallow"

EXCESS POSTAL RENTALS.


mense Overcharges.
NEW YORK, May So.-The Brooklyn
Eagle says to-day that an investigation
made by it shows hat 5000 per annum
is paid in New York State in excess Of
the normal commercial rentals for post
offices. The Eagle adds that as the leases
run for ten years the total excess amounts
to IS, OOo,O OO.
The Eagle says: "Confning the investi-
CATION to New York State, in which nearly
every section has been covered, IL is diff
cult to find an instance where the Federal
government is not paying from Is to 80 per
cent. more than it should for rentals. In
deed. so universal Is the gravely excessive
rate that a belief would be justified that an
tan the high figures of these rentals exists
or has existed for some time. All the
traffic would bear seems to be the rule. In
stances of so per cent. above the rentals
paid by private interests for like property
similarly situated are many, 20 per cent. not
infrequent, while in some cases 100 and even
200 per cent. have been reported.
Instances have been found where leases
nave been executed by the Postoffice De-
partment for the occupation Of floors in
buildings which were not in existence. but
which were yet to be built, and were so
rates.
THE most notable and fragrant instance
or the abuse is SHOWN IN Dunklrk, In Chau-
tauqua county. 1t is a city of 11.6l6 popula-
ton by the last census. For a single floor
for the accommodation of the postofice the
government is paying $1,000 annually. In
the same block a few doors nearer the GEN.
trail business point of this city is a build
ing, the first or street floor of which is oc-
supied by a business concern, which apart
from this postoffice building commands the
highest rate in the city of Dunkirk. The
merchant occupying it Jays 500 per an

Roof Gardens for Consumptives.
Philadelphia Press.

Z HlidOcipLld IitSS-
A roof garden for consumptives is the
latest Improvement planned by Director
Martin for the Philadelphia Hospital.
Not only as a place of recreation and a
vantage point from which to catch the
breeze in summer n breathe in the
fresher air are the roof tops of the Block
ley buildings to be utilized. They will be
fitted I'D with beds and there in the sum-
mer the patients suffering from tubercu-
losis may inhale the only sure cure for the
scourge-pure air-during the nine hours
which they have been accustomed to spend
in rooms.
This is probably the first time that such
a plan has been worked out in America,
and it is thought by those who have
treatment of such c~onsumptives as must
remain under the city.s care during the
summer.
DR.. Martin last nigh spoke enthusi-
astically concerning the proposed roof
garden He said:
Not only as a mere sleeping place and
a space to work about In has this been
shrubbery will be scattered on the roof and
that they really will be gardens, with
walks and shade that will be attractive 70
the patients who use them.
"As for the advantage OF having the
sleeping places for the tuberculosis patients
ment. They catch the breezes from the
north and west and are free from the dust
and impurities that exist in much greater
quantity at the ground level.
OF course. there will be times when, by
reason Of rain or the like, IL will be i'm
possible TO use the roof as a sleeping place,
but taking II all in all. during the summer
by the improved air he gets by the new
plan."

MEYERSDALE, Pa, May 30.-Notices de-
claring a reduction OF s cents in the price

the Meyersdalc region. Both companies last
March granted the 10 cents advance, blu,
refused to sign a scale for one year. 1t is
confidently expected by the miners that
the Somerset Coal Company will also make
in which event there will be a general
strike ordered throughout the region.
