some time ago he acquitted himself
OF a delicate mission tending to tn,
much needed reform of the church II
South America.
On his recall he was comparatively
unknown except to his immediate su
periors. His discretion and ability
no less than his piety, soon attracted
attention. And the late Cardinal Ga
limberti (who had fully expected &c
have a decisive voice in the election
OF the next pope) is said TO have been
so greatly impressed by the qualities
Of Cardinal Gotti that they caused
him TO waver In his old allegiance
to Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, then
supposed to be his candidate.
Leo XIII. for a time seemed to look
on Cardinal Gotti as a desirable sue
cessor. Toward the end of his life,
however. his feelings became less
friendly. Cardinal Gotti is not abso-
lutely committed TO any policy.
On the strength largely of his old
prophecy of the monk Malachi. TO the
effect that the next pope will be n
flaming fire. il had come to be thought
possible that Cardinal Svampa might
be elected. A sun shines in mis- ar
mortal bearings. and, with the super
sutton which distinguishes them. the
Romans have jumped to conclusions.
Cardinal Svampa is a good priest
and a man Of parts. But he has Meth
er the diplomatic qualities Of the ED
or Cardinal Vannutelli nor, so far as
can be seen. the administrative skill
and authority of Cardinal Parrochi.
by Leo XIII. he was not much liked
and he enjoys poor health.
Mention must also be made of Car
dinal Capecelatro, the pious, learned
and temperate archbishop of Capua.
Queen Margherita, in the lifetime Of
King Humbert, secretly advocated the
claims Of Cardinal ~Capecelatro to the
po~ntificate.
Were he chosen IL is possible that
something would be done, without the
sacrifice of anything held essential by
Catholics, TO heal the breach between
the vatican and the quirinal.
To complete this list It should be,
added that by many Americans Cardi.
nal Satolli. eXpapal delegate TO Wash
ington. and our own Cardinal Gibbons
are rightly or wrongly regarded as
papabili. while Cardinal Sarto, patri.
arch of Venice. has at least a reason
able chance of being elected.

II is told that an Upper Peninsula

a lot of merchandise Tor his store.
The undertaken also had him buy a
line of collins. The people of his town
ate a great deal of limburger cheese,
and the merchant bought a large guam

The famous Nipper case is being
tried in Butte this year. Although
much has been said in the papers
about the case it is yet but little un.
derstood by the average reader who
doesn't know a cross cut from a drilling
contest nor a lode from a load. The
facts, briefly stated. are as follows:
One day several years ago a poor
miner dug down into the bowels of
Butte and found copper-not a blue
coated copper, but the sort that
made Willie Clark famous. The Am.
algamated found out about it and they
copp(ed) er out. Then along came n
struggling young mining engineer
named Faugustious Heinze and after
nosing around for a few days down
in the mine decided that he'd Nipper

in the apex. And that's all there Is

New York policemen have found a
murdered man and say that 1t is Will

il wasn't best. At any rate the man
who murdered Best Is undoubtedly
the best murderer. Nobody will dis
pute that. And If he is the best muir.
derer and lots of the worst murderers
have been let off light the best muir
derer should be given a chrome. Give

DELIGHTFUL NEW SPORT.
II II Found In Shooting Birds,
Not with . Gun, But with
q Camera.

OF the many delightful birds have
had the good fortune to know, the
worm-eating warbler family have af-
forded me the greatest pleasure. for
they become absolutely fearless Of the
camera. and they place q degree Of
trust in one that was a. unusual az 1t
was delightful. Being anxious to Sc
cure photographs Of the young, !
paid frequent visits to the nest, and
what Q wonderfully concealed nest 1t
was, tucked away in small depres-
sion and hidden by the roots Of an oak
sapling.
1t would forever have remained un-
discovered by me had / not, by lucky
chance, observed one Of the parent
birds visiting 1t, says writer In the
Worlds Work. Only at first did the
owners object to my intruding, and
by various methods did they try to
coax me away from their home. First
one, and then the other, would feign
broken wings, and, half rolling, half
scrambling, they would make their
way down the steep hillside, in the
hope Of Turing me away, Then, find
ing that l was not to be taken in even
by such an artful device, they endeav-
ored to accomplish their object by
scolding at me. In less than two
hours they quieted down and simply
looked on me in silence. The next
time visited the nest they made no
objection, and imagined they recog-
nized me and realized that / meant
no harm. either to themselves or to
their young, for these had hatched
since my last visit. Day by day I came
to watch the little fellows, and they
grew rapidly, as all young birds do.
Finally they were ready to make
their first venture into the great
world that. should no accident befall
them, was to be their feeding ground
for many years to come. As I looked
into the nest the family Of fedgelings
scrambled ont as though they had
been scattered by some invisible hand,
so nearly simultaneous was their &C.
tion, and in less time than II takes to
tell It each little mite of down and
feathers was hidden
among the dead, cracking leaves with
which the ground was strewn. Though |
I had tried my best to watch where
each bird concealed itself, 1t was some |
time before ! collected them all, pre-
paratory to photographing them. OF
course the parents were greatly ex.
always are when their
young first leave the nest--and when
they saw the entire brood captured
by one whom they considered friend
they seemed to regret having placed
10 much confidence in me. But only
for q very short time did their doubts
continue. As soon as / placed the
on q suitable perch they
both ceased TO utter that lisping note
of anxious protestation, and to show
that they no longer feared me they
hopped about on the camera while I
was arranging It.

SINGLE STATEHOOD.
Representative Curtis Speaks About
Admitting the Territories.
MUCH OPPOSITION TO THREE STATES


Washington, Dec. 23.-"A single
statehood bill Is the only statehood
measure that has any chance in thii
congress-" said Representative Curtii
yesterday. The Kansas congressman
has discussed the statehood situation
with the leaders In the house and sen.
ate and he has found, he says, that
there is strong opposition to the pro-
posal to admit three new states, and
that II the statehood bill urged In the
last congress Is again presented II
will be defeated. by single state
hood bill l mean a bill that will ad-
init Oklahoma and the Indian territory
as q state and Arizona and New Mex
leo as a state." said Mr.. Curtis. II
have been assured that some Of those
members who opposed any kind Of a
statehood bill last year have changed
their position and that they are now
willing to support single statehood
measure. There 10 just as much oppo-
sition as ever to creating states out of
Arizona and New Mexico and Okla
homa, but believe that IL the state
hood people will agree upon the kind
Of bill l have indicated 1t will meet
with very slight opposition"
Mr.. Curtis said that In the event
congress did not enact statehood legis-
lation, the bill giving the Indian terri
tory delegate representation In the
house probably would be passed.
When congress convenes after the holi-
days he will go before the house COM
mittee on territories and make q
statement In favor Of that bill. At
the request Of some citizens Of the
Indian territory Mr.. Curtis introduced
1t in the house, and II 1t is favorably
reported by the committee on terrific
ries he will take charge Of 1t and try
to get 1t through. Senator Quay, who
returned Monday from Florida, where
he spent month, will hold confer
ence soon with Delegate Rodey, Of
New Mexico; Delegate Wilson, of Ari-
zona; Delegate MCGUIRE, of Oklahoma,
and others who are interested In the
bill. The senator has told
some Of his friends that he believes
the statehood bill upon which the fight
Of the last session was made will be
passed by the senate this time.

W. Chicago, Dec. 23.-The liverymen's
association, at a meeting yesterday aft

able settlement of the drivers strike
was reached to-day they would open
for business with non-union employees
and would appeal to the courts for
an injunction to prevent the strikers
from interfering in any manner with
the driving Of carriages or hearses.

was bitterly criticised by the men.
At the same time that the men were

the members OF the liyerymen's asso-
citation decided to submit the whole
diftlculty to arbitration provided that
the strikers took the initiative in the
matter and that the demand for q
peaceable settlement should come from
the men. In anticipation Of the propo-
sition being accepted by the men
committee was appointed to receive
any overtures that the union might be
willing to make.
