1t Is a debatable question whether or moi
It Is to be regretted that the most ambi,
tons of the present generation OF the
American youth are confined almost eXc.u-
siyelv to those who have insufficient means
to carry out their plans for the acquisf
ton of fame or fortune. and must depend
absolutely upon their own exertions for al
they achieve
1t is probably not a misfortune that they
must work all the time out Of school
hours and during their vacation to earn
money enough TO supply the necessities OF
their scholastic course.
The industry necessary to keep theil
minds and bodies healthful is an advantage
not gained otherwise.
They have no time for dissipation and
vaudeville shows.
Boys obtain all the exercise they need
by athletics: many of them winning
scholarships and prizes which enable them
to go to college which they could not dc
without some such good fortune
Girls have many fields where they can
advance themselves and crafty their am

linguistic educations.
A score of them have done so and have
carried away prizes that should have been
won by their more wealthy companions
who had all Of their time to devote to their
studies.

One is panied in examining the lists of

THE NEXT PONTIFF.

The successor TO Pope Leo may be prelate vir-
tua1y unknown to the world at large and one yet
not considered by the College Of Cardinals. Those
electors who supposed to WELD influence and to
hold the power to the Pope may lack this
influence when the conclave begins Or, what is still
more to the point they may refrain from making any
effort to use it.
All premises to the outcome of the conclaye's
deliberations speculation. No Cardinal group
Of Cardinals controls the college No reliable forecast
can be made When it is remembered that every vote
is secret ballot, nsuring liberty of decision each
eector, it is reasonable to that personality
and personal attributes such fairness and broad
Of intellect will count for more than quaspot-
ical and other considerations.
An impression prevails that politics. SUCH enters
almost entirely into the election and that the highest
office in the Catholic Church is sought for arently.
In contrast to the matter of politics there is the
ter religion for religion and the power the church
are unquestionaby most dear to aged church princes
who, having devoted their lives to Catholicty, have
come to regard that as the first object And in the
second place. most of the egibles would prefer
have the honor and res possibilities of the Papacy al
though perhaps few ambitious in this respect.
The best presentation of the and factors con-
nected with the concave is probably that written by
Mr.. F. Marion Crawford and published in Every
bodys Magazine" He sets forth the qualifications
and characteristics of prominent candidates and
cludes with the assertion that the Pope might
be famous Cardinal an unheardof hermit. Mr..
Crawfords article has the virtue of atmosphere,
ing been written by one who understands the Vatican
and thus gives an impression of the mode and dom-
nant agencies of the election
Any guess to the outcome of the conclaves cleo
ton would be less absurd there is nothing
on which it might be founded. However. it is safe
to predict that the next Pope will not be creation
of political intrigue but prelae capable of maintain
ing the work of church development so well done by
Leo He might be Cardinal widely known, or a
plain priest entirely unknown. The whole world may
hope, however. that he will be good and enlght
ened ruler the late Pope.

JAMES A. M'NE|LL WHISTLER,
GENIUS OF MOODS AND EPIGRANS.

| WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
He Is like no other human being said
| an American woman who met the late
James a. Mcneil Whistler in London some
wears ago. "A creature of moods and cpl
grams, but perfectly delightful. 1 feel as
IL I had been conversing with 4 flash Of
| lightning in brown velvet coat"
Perhaps 1t was this woman who had said
| TO Whistler. after having stood before one
| of his paintings In silent admiration for
many minutes: why, Mr. Whistler, It's
nature herself!'' and to whom the world
famous artist and wit instantly replied:
Yes. madam. l understand nature is look

Such comment was eminently charac-

characterized as "a pot Of paint flung in

picture alternately, said, after apparently
giving the subject much thought. While the
court waited in silence for his answer:
No! Do you know. l fear it would be
as hopeless as for the musician to pour
his notes into the of deaf man
The saving grace of humor possessed by
Whistler enabled him to appreciate tho
comic side OF the artistic temperament as
keeniy as one not q member of the self-ab-
sorbed brotherhood. London Punch once
published suppositious converse lion be-
tween Whistler ana Oscar Wilde, which
caused the latter TO send the following tele-
gram:
from Oscar Wilde. Exeter. 20 J. Mcneil
Whistler. Tite Street: Punch too ridiculous: when
YOU and together never talk about any
thing except ourselves"
To which Whistler replied, reproving the
presuuing leader of the aesthetics:
From Whistler. lite Street. to Oscar Wilde
Exeter: No. no, Oscar you forget: when you
and together. never talk about anything
except me-"
The eccentric American artist cherished
an amused contempt for Oscar Wilde and
seemed alert 10 the shallowness and sham
which constituted SO large a part Of the
latter's makeup.
Once, when Whistler had said an especial
ly brilliant thing in private conversation,
Oscar Wilde. exclaimed That's good,

After rehearsal Mrs Hoffman and the

and sothing the little one. The girl,
whose name in real life is Mrs Tina Al
bert. had been kept away from rehear-

Mrs Hoffman, who has child about

! Regarding Richard Mansfield much
has been printed and told of his selfish
disregard of others. Such criticism

! with which this particular actor is
credited, exists in his charac tef. never
/ theless, as is shown by the following
! incident occurring during one of the
recent heavy sthunderstorms. The
story is told by the mother of one of
the two little girls whom the actor, by
his thoughtfulness, saved from possible
serious consequences by the thorough
drenching which the delicate children
! received when caught in the storm
which descended as they were passing
his beautiful country home in New
i London. The frightened children, wet
TO the skin, took refuge under one of
the trees not far from the entrance of
1 Mr. Mansfie1d's place Here. huddled
close together-they were observed by
| the actor, who had been pacing his
piazza. Finding that they did not heed
his reckoning and calling to share his
shelter, he hurried out into the heavy
storm, crossed the muddy street and
brought them into his house. This in
itself was not more than anyone would
/ nave done under the same conditions,
but the tender care he afterwards be-
! slowed upon the children was aItogeth-
er a side Of the actors character with
which the public is unacquainted. In
stead Of handing them over to one Of
his many servants, as might be expect
ed of this busy, serious man, he, after
/ the little girls had been temporarily
| attired in some of Mansfield Jr's cloth
ing, took it upon himself to amuse them
in the many ways in which youngsters
are delighted. This went on for more
than two hours, during the downpour
of the rain and the. drying of their
dresses, after which he saw that they
were safely conducted to the home of
their anxious parents. AS they were
bidding good bye" to their sohcitous
host one of the little girls, bashfully,
yet as if proud of her aeverness in the
discovery, said: II know who you are
