THE POPE'S WATCH.

The favOrite gossip Of Roman draw ing rooms centers around the pope's simplicity and sweetness of character. During a recent interview the pope .ook out his watch and looked at it. It was an old, much-rubbed, much h-bat- tered nickel watch, attached to his waistcoat by an ancient leather boot lace. One of the noblemen present. who noticed this humble timepiece, could not restrain his horror at the thought that the head of the church should have so poor a watch. He instantly took out his own watch-a valuable lev CT, with a monogram in jewels on the back-and begged the pope. as Q great favor, to exchange watches with him that he might carry away a personal souvenir of the visit. But the pope re- fused the offer with great vehemence. My mother gave me this,' he said, caressing the old nickel turnip, when was a boy. l fastened it on with this very bootlace, and vowed that would wear it so long as it would go at all. A vow," added his holiness, re turning the watch to his pocket, which I always believe to have been the cause of the admirable time that my chro- nometer keeps to this day and never gets out of order'

LITATURE AND BOOZE

Five times as much money in 1903. it IS estimated, was spent for literature as for booze Under this slang term for drink is doubtless included all kinds of lntoxicants from cider to absinthe, and under literature, every grade of type in binding from reprints of Shakespeare to the latest novel of Marie CorelIi. It would be amusing, were it possible, to see if the drink did five times the harm. How much cognac. for instance, could fairly he set against an edition of three hundred thousand of q novel by Hall Caine? How much beer would equal in sodden consequences the seasons out put of fictionized history? Good books, whether of the imagination or of infor- nation, surpass in inspiration the fin est beverage ever quaffed and celebrat- ed by Omar or John Keats, but ordinary books cannot compare in efficiency as evils with the common abuse of whis- key. Therefore, we take the drink ex- IJcnSe to be an evil more than five times as great as the misfortune caused by the sum wasted upon what our es- teemed contemporaries cheerfully de-

FAD OF MANY sETRoTHALs.
London Girls Accused of Cheapening
 Sacredness of Engagements.

A new crime has been charged against the modern society girl. It is that she enters into matrimonial en- agreements with levity, and breaks them with an equal lightness of heart.
 A sober minded contemporary draws comparisons between the present day methods and the time when the be- trothal was as serious an affair as mar riage itself. Now it is not an unusual thing for a girl to be engaged several times before being married but people think none the worse of her for that
 An engagements ,S this authority con- tinues, has become no more weighty a matter than a dance. A woman can throw her partner over if she likes.
 When girls are so capricious, how can man have the same feeling for the sanctity of marriage when he knows very well that the girl whose hand and heart he asks has been engaged before and already gone through the intimacy of lovemaking and kisses entailed by it.
 "I heard the other day" adds the writer, "of two marriages where the parties had been engaged six or eight years Everybody expressed unbounded surprise that they had remained faith full so long. The fact is, that the girls ways are beginning to resemble those of nuTsemaids who walk out with a man. but not always with a view to matrimonE."

scribe as literature. Where drink makes criminals, novels make nothing worse than idiots. England has just failed in an attempt to prevent habituaI drunkards from being served with li- osor. It would be still more impossible to devise system by which habitual consumers of adulterated or otherwise deleterious reading could be protected from the qualification of their appe- utes. There is only one angle from which the literary menace at all equals the menace which is made by alcohol As publication increases at a much greater rate than brewing, the time may come when the relative destruc- ton will be much closer than five to one.-Colier's Weekly.

ARIZONA CONFERENCE
Proposed by American League for
 Civic Improvement.

Mrs. E. A Fowler yesterday received from the American League for Civic Improvement, whose headquarters are in Chicago, a communication asking the cooperation of the Woman's club in the holding of an Arizona conference of the league on March 10th. The let ter says that the league desires the conference to be held in either Phoe- nix or Prescott by reason of their cent ral location and their accessibility to railroad lines. The field secretary of the league with a stereopticon and op- orator will be present and represent the organization and it is desirable that the local organization provide ho- tel accommodations and a hall for the meetings, which it is intimated might include three sessions, morning, noon and night. The matter was referred by Mrs. Fowler to Mrs. w. F. Nichols. who has charge of the department of the club which would naturally be in- tereSt ed.
 The league is operating in further ance of what is termed an interstate improvement campaign and the purpose is just what the name of the proposed meetings suggests, that of conferences of ladiuS people on subjects of general interest for the elevation of standards in general. In further explanation of the work the following is taken from a circular that accompanied the letter:
 ''The Amercan League for Civic Im- provernent is sending its field secretary, MT. T.. c. Routzahn. to assist in Q ser ies Of local and state conferences in Colorado. New Mexico, Arizona, Cali fornia, Oregon and Washington.
 The state or territorial conference will be held in cooperation with epre- sentative club women, city and state officials. college and public school in structors, editors. commercial clubs. agricultural and horticultural societies, irrigation and forestry associations. pastors and church young pecrle.
 Interested in the higher fife of Am erican communities, these representa- tives of divers organizations and move ments he'ieve in the correlation of all uDlift forces. They unite, therefore. in calling a state Improvement conference in which the betterment resources will be studied and simple plans be rropCs- ed for aggressive effort in the respect i've fieII9. No organization is 10 be promoted nor any rntangling alliances suggested The plan seeks for com radeship among the workers, broader views Of the whole field and the 1is- cussion 0f practicable possibilities"

LONGEVITY IN IRELAND.

From Castlebar, County Mayo, there comes a story of the death of James Conway farmer, who attained the age of 113 years. The father of James Conway did rot die so young, for his years were six score>and six-that is, 126. The grandfather's final age was 130 years. These statistics are the less unlikely because in the same county an old man died not so long ago who was proved to have attained the age of at least 120 years. James Conway remembered the French invasion ir 179S, which was led by General Hum bert, who won the battle known as "The Races of Castlebar."

mine, which he visited for the first time, though he has been in constant touch with the progress of events at the mine. He says that hitherto he has been foolishly conservative in all his claims. as he was taking the word of other people and then discounting 1t for the sake of conservatism.
 After a careful inspection of the mine covering about five days he has become very enthusiastic. He says that by his own measurements they have-fully S25.OOO worth of ore block ed out and immediately available for reduction, while he feels certain that the total ore bodies proved by develop ment shafts and other openings cannot be less than a million dollars, and possibly several times that amount.
 The mine, he says, is fully ready for mill equipment, the process to be en- ployed has been fully decided upon and estimates of its cost and installation secured. The mill in fact, was prac- tically ordered once, but he decided to hold back operations till he could come and lock at the property himself. He Is now fully satisfied, and the order for the plant will be let just as soon as some financial matters have been att tended to, as it is his purpose not to do anything till the cash is on hand to pay for it. The small balance necessary may be secured immediately on his re- turn to New York, and certainly in very short time thereafter at the mos: He could proceed at once. but prefers the cash basis of doing business. for the work to date has all been paid for, and he would rather proceed on con- servative lines and be master of the situation at all times.

NEWS FROM PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Regain Some Lost Positions
by Assault.

Liaoyang, July 2S.-A Russian cor
respondent of the Associated Press
who has just arrived here after two
months stay at Port Arthur gives an
important and interesting narrative OF
the situation at the beleagEered for
tress when he left there July IA, which
shows that the Japanese operations till
then had not advanced SO far as sup
posed Several Russian successes are
chronicled, but the report of a Japan
ese reverse with the loss of 10000 men
is definitely disposed of, not being
even mentioned by the correspondent,
who says:
when | put to sea in junk the
land position on the Russian right
flank, surrounding Green and Soma
phore hills, which the Russians had
lost, had been recaptured by assault.
The heights of Huinsin, which the
Japanese defended desperately, alone
remained in their hands.
"To sum up, by the fighting of July
8, and 5, when evidently the Russian
forces were acting on the offensive,
the Russians regained on the land side
the positions they had held in front
of the fortress previous to the battle
of Kinchou."
