yesterday and asked about the matter the mayor said:
 q am heart and soul in the move ment to make Bisbee the leading city of the Territory from a point of com- fortable living, as we'll as from an in dustrial standpoint. There is not a doubt on earth that all of the contem- plated improvements should be made, if we desire to make Bisbee a healthy place. We are bound hand and foot at the present time as far as going to any expense in building good roads is concerned, leave alone beautifying the city. l think that this is matter in which every taxpayer is interested. and to which they should give their attention. We are no longer in the days of mining camp. Bisbee is the largest city in the Territory, and at the present time we are operating under greater disadvantages than any. The improvements which have been made lately, and the construction of sewer system are all steps in the
 right direction, and hope that every one will enter into the movement, and l then it will be an assured success

DEATH LOWERING
 NEAR POPE PLUS

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-Among the distinguished visitors in New York is Archbishop John J. Keane of Dubu- ou". Iowa. formerly rector of the Catholic University at Washington. and one of the distinguished prelates in the American hierarchy. Arch bishop Kesne has just returned from visit to Rome, and is passing few days here. He made some interesting statements concerning the pope and church matters 10 friends Among other things he is quoted as saying:
 Pope Plus was practically forced upon the papal throne. He did not wish to take the responsibility. He will not live long. He doesn't want to. In my opinion he will never hold a consistory, and the outlook for the creation of an American cardinal is not encouraging. The pope few days after his elevation declared that he would never hold consistory and that he did not wish to have a long Dontificate. I believe h;., wishes will be fulfilled.
 '1f the pope should decide to honor this country I believe he would not create one cardinal, but two, and they would be the archbishop of New York and Archbishop Ireland"
