GENERAL OF THE
ORDER OF JESUITS
is VERY lLL-FATHER MARTIN
SUFFERING FROM CANCER AND
DEATH is EXPECTED SOON.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Rome, April 17.-Though the Jes'
uits have, 'as a rule. no place in the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. the great.
est interest is being manifested just
now in the Vatican circles and among
churchmen generally in the illness OF
Father Louis Martin, general of the
order of the Jesuits. Father Martin
is suffering from cancer and his
death is believed TO be but a matter
of short time. There is some dis
cussion as to his possible successor.
but the rules governing the election
are such that the result cannot be
foretold with the slightest degree of
certainty
The general places in a sealed en-
velope the name of some one who
shall direct the affairs Of the society
during the interim between his death
and the election of his successor.
Father Anderledy. who died in 1892,
named Father Martin. so the latter's
election was a tribute not only TO his
own piety and learning. but TO the
formers perspicacity in the point Of
judging men.
The general is elected by a conven-
ton of three delegates from each
province, these delegates being chos-
en- by the older priests. At the con-
vention which elects him are also
elected his assistants, who represent
five nationalities, English, French,
German, Italian and Spanish. The
general holds office for life. Though
nominally a resident of Rome the gen
eral spends most of his time in his
quarters in the neighobring town of
Fiesole. He is known colloquially as
1.-The Black Pope" This title the in
genious Romans derived from the
black habit he wears, and is used in
contradistinction to the title of "The
White Pope" which is applied to the
supreme pontiff. and to that of THE
Red Pope which characterizes the
cardinal perfect of the propaganda.
1t is a significant fact that there
never has been a French, English or
Irish Jesuit at the head of the order.
Most of them have come from the
great old Italian cities.
Father Martin is a Spanish theo-
logan, and was born near Burgos in
1876. He entered the Jesuit novitiate
at the age of %, and rapidly acquired
a great reputation. In 1878 he was
made rector of the University of Sal
amanca, and eight years later became
provincial of the order in CASTLE. A
year ago, when his arm was ampu-
tated for cancer, the pope, by special
indult, granted him the privilege of
continuing to say mass.
Father Martin always has been a
great opponent of the Americaniza-
ton of the Catholic church in the
United States. and several years ago
he was sued by an Italian editor for
alleged services in causing the sub
sidence of the movement

Weather Predictions.

For the remainder of the month of
February, Irl r. Hicks, the great
weather prophet says will be as follows:
By the 9th decided change to
warmer with falling barometer with
sou-herly wi-s2s aud l~ouaihes ilr efest-
ern sections bringing rain wind. aud
possibly thunder in the south from 7th
to the 10th the crisis of the period
falling on the 9th, followed by a series
of violent winter storms, rain turning
to snow with blizzards from the north
west and probably continue until the
18th and 18th. This period from
about the 9th to the 18th will be
marked by many seismic and volcanic
outbreaks in varions quarters Of the
globe. A general and genuine cold
wave will wind up the general perturb
alton
The regular storm period falls on the
10th to the Goth. There il every reason
to believe that some of the hardest
storms and most severe weather for the
winter will set in at this period and
continue with little intermiesion for the
remainder of February and into March
1t will be well for the farmers to make
a note of these predictions and look
well after their stock during the latter
part of the month, and for those who
have to be out Of doors at that time, 20
be prepared for severe cold weather.

remain a way station to Chicago? We
have been worse than sleeping; we
have been treacherous to our own in

The franchise is now in the hands of
