the members OF the legislature elected
today, with view of getting bill
through the legislature to establish q
reformatory for the hayward kids of
the state. 1t is noticed that some of
the state papers, have Already begun

may he presumed from this time
on they will make it lively for the
legislature. A bill Of this kind was
once passed by the Legislature,
but by some means the governor did
not sign it and it failed to become a
law. The good women of Alabama.
through the press and other agencies,
worked hard on their lawmakers to
have such law enacted in that state,
but it fell through, the members of
the Legislature not seeming to care
whether the youths were taught in a
reformatory or in the penitentia1y.
But the ladies by private subscrip-
ton established a reformatory Of
their own which is now self sustain
ing and which is doing a wonderful
good for the state. 1t is crowded and
others are knocking at the door for
admission.

THE POPES'S SUCCESSOR.

The new pope is not known outside
of Italy. He was born In 1885 and
therefore is what might be considered
an old man. He was considered fine
preacher, even at an early age, and
worked up his way in the church.

high position in the church of his
country. But outside of Italy he is
not known as a public man. He was
a writer of only a local reputation.
Outside of his own country his writ
ines did not create any notice. But
after all he is remarkable man who

years tic burst forth as the man to sue

Catholic world does not seem to know
the new head of the church as well as
it would like to, encyclopedias refer

with open arms, for the as surance is

but from the lately deceased pope,
who predicted, and the wish wen5
