Gossip Of Conclave.

Interest is now largely engrossed
with the conclave and its result. The
gossip OF the day may he summed up
briefly by saying that Cardinal Gotti's
chances of election seem to have i'm,
proved in comparison with those OF the
other cardinals who are mentioned as
likely to succeed the dead pontiff, al
though there still exists a strong feel,
ing that some one, hitherto scarcely

Gibbons Politics Exaggerated.

Tonights Italia has an alleged
confirmation OF the story that Cardinal
Gibbons had succeeded in transform,
ing Cardinal Richard, the archbishop
of Paris, into an opponent OF Cardinal
Rampolla in the alleged fact that Car.
dinal Gibbons did not leave Richard
while in Paris, that they left together
for Rome, travelled together and will
lodge together at the house Of the Or

fact only the statement that they will
lodge together is true. 1t is known
they did not start for Rome together

Thousands View Dead Pope.

Again yesterday the body Of Leo
XIII lay in state in the Basilica of ST
Peters and about 10000 people passed
before the catafalque during the day
This is probably slight increase over
the number who viewed the remains
Thursday and the augmentation was
doubtless due to the widely circulated
reports that yesterday wcald be the
last day upon which the public would

The body will continue in the chapel

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Over $4,000, 900 Made Available by
Pennsylvania.


The leaven of road improvement seems to
be working in all parts of the United
States An eastern man who has recently
taken a trip through Texas says the en-
thusiasm with which tho people have taken
up the good roads idea" is wonderful. In
some counties they are in danger Of going
Wild on the subject. Funds are being
raised mainly by issue Of county bonds.
In Pennsylvania the state aid idea has
taken firm hold. The plan just adopted
is for the state. the county and the town
ship to cooperate in the work of building
and improving the roads The state Is to
pay two-thirds Of the expense and the
county and township in which the work
is done each one-sixth Of the expense The
state has made available for this purpose
S6.5OOO0O. to be expended during the next
few years.
The principle involved in the state aid
plan is exactly the same as that involved
in the scheme for national aid, which has
developed such popularity recently. The
fundamental idea Of both is that road i'm
provement Is not merely a matter of local
interest and responsibility, but matter
of interest and concern to the whole peo-
pie. or. to put 1t another way, road build
ing Is coming to be viewed as a species
of internal Improvement" belonging in
the same class as river and harbor i'm
provementS.

and is Well Paid.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York yesterday says: Prader
johnson. a clown Of Barnum & Bailey's
circus. now at Madison Square Garden, has
been bequeathed $4,000 by grandfather
in England.
The question is whether the laugh goes
to Dame Fortune for not knowing that the
clown did not need the money; to the other
clowns who do need 1t; to the maternal
grandfather. who is dead, or to Prader
Johnson. the king in yellow" who does
no know when he can get the cash.
Lawyers representing the estate Of Luke
Weatherby, late Of Hereford, England, say
Prader Johnson can have the money when
he comes for 1t. When Barnum & Bailey's
show was in England Johnson gave the old
gentleman two tickets for 1.-The greatest"
and he believes the beQuest Is the result.
Johnson is the chief star in the clown
galaxy-"a fellow of infinite jest, Of mods
chemist of laughter. He is a versatile
clown and has originated most Of the bur-
lesque business of this show. He began his
career twenty years ago and has been with
Barnum & Bailey for the last nine years
consecutively. His wife travels with him
and Is one of the substitute horsewomen
They have little girl ten years old.
Johnson expects to go to England in
about year, when his contract with the
circus will have expired. He says he is
just clown and supposes he will play the
fool with his money Maybe he will start
new circus. he says.

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Judges Mcsherry and Henderson Rem
der Decision in Jones Will Case.

snecial Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, April 20. 1908.
Judges Mcsherry and Henderson this
morning rendered their decision in the
case of Mrs. Catherine J. Alder against
Samuel M. Jones and others, which was
argued In the circuit court here about
week ago. It was an action for the con-
struction of the Wills of Samuel Jones,
prominent citizen Of this county. and his
widow, Cecilia 8. Jones.
The facts in the case were that Mr..
jones died some years ago. leaving WILL
by which he devised all of his property
to his widow for life and ito will to his
children as she thinks proper at death"
Mrs. Jones died several years ago. leaving
a will by the provisions of which all OF
her personal property was left to two
children and the real estate 10 tue Same
two and another, on CONDITION that they
nav to Mrs Alder, another child. who was
not included in either of the devises men
toned. the sum Of $1,000, payable in four
annual instruments Of $3.50 each, without
interest.
The point raised was whether or not
charge on real estate can be created by
the donee of special power 70 devise
property to children. The plainun con-
tended that Mrs. Jones had no right to de-
fer the payment to her of whatever portion
she was to get, and asked the court to de-
cree the execution of the power void.
The court decided the will OF Mrs Jones
m he a valid execution of the power vest
ed in her by the will of her husband, and
dismissed the bill of complaint. 1t is stated
that the case will be taken to the court of
appeals

TREATIES WILL BE RATIFIED.
No Hitch in the Negotiations at
Havana

nhVduds
A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The correspondent of the Associated Press
is authoritatively informed that there is
no hitch in the negotiations for the final
treaties between the United States and
Cuba, the only differences thus far being
on the subject Of details covering the ac-
quirement Of private properties for the pur-
poses of the naval stations. The Cuban
government prefers to purchase these lands
and lease the whole. together with the gov
eminent lands required to the United
States for a nominal consideration. There
appears to be some natural questions about
the extent to which the United States will
compensate Cuba for the purchases and
leases. but no serious difference has arisen
on these subjects. The final negotiations
are now embodied in three treaties,
One for carrying out the details of the
arrangements for the occupancy of the
naval stations in accordance with the
Roosevelt-Palma agreement; another COW
ering the sovereignty over the Isle of Pines,
and the third Incorporating the Plat
amendment provisions into a perpetual
treaty.
Minister squiers says the negotiations
are progressing as well as any negotia lions
could proceed between any countries.
