NAL OF the creation OF the diocese oil
New York will see as its head a full
iiedged prince of the church.
Still Another Red Hat.
Many of the personal friends and
admirers of Archbishop Ryan. OF
Philadelphia. and Ireland, of St
Paul, were simply stunned by the au-
thoritative statement made by Cardi-
nal Satolli regarding the impending
promotion of Archbishop Farley.
While some of them consider the re-
marks of the cardinal an able diplo-
matte move to enlist the pope's at
tention to the pre-eminence of the
New York See for the honor of the
cardinalate, others are working
tooth and nail that the pope shall
nominate two American cardinals at
the same time. II has been submit
ted 70 Plus X that the thirteen mill
lion American Catholics never had
sufficient representation in the Sa-
cred college, while so-called Catholic
nations. like France. Spain and Aus
tria. the number OF practical Catho-
lies in which is much less than in
the United States, always had five or
six cardinals representing them in
the councils of the church.
Especially at The present moment,
when 1t has been decided by the vati-
can authorities not to nominate any
more French cardinals because of
the troubles between the church and
the government in that country. it Is
asserted that the only way to main
tain the proper proportion of for
eign cardinals in the Sacred college
is to promote more than one Ameri-
can prelate to the coveted honor. II
is generally thought here that this
last argument is powerful enough to
decide the pope to nominate more
than one American cardinal at the
December consistory. and II may be
after all that the promotion of Mgr.
Farley to the Sacred college will not
be the only one among them.

"Shape" Bars from Job.

Shape counts for more than scientific
knowledge as qualification with the
civil service commission, according to
the assertions of Miss Dana L. May,
comedy miss from Mithigan. Miss
May is in Washington camping on the
trail of the commissioners. She is
graduate of Ann Arbcr high school
and the state normal school at Ypsi-
lanti, Mich. She brings documentary
proof to show that on her mental ex-
animation she made string of zoos in
every branch except two or three. The
result of her physical examination was
a disappointment, and when she
sought explanation she was informed,
she says, that she was net tall enough
in proportion to her widtb. Miss May
confesses she is in the short and
stout" class. "If were a society miss
with wealthy father l suppose
would be called 'petite,'" said she
..'As 1t is I am short and stout"

Value Of Services.

1t only remains to decide who shall
determine the value of the individuals
service in industry. Shall it be de-
termined by public officials who have
NO direct interest in the matter, or
shall it be left to the judgment of
those who receive the service? AS to
which Is the safer method, says an
Atlantic writer, there can scarcely be
a moments doubt. Granting all that
may be said about the depravity Of
popular tastes and the whimsicalities
of fashion, of the maltreatment of the
genius and the prosperity of the time
server, all this and more may be said
about the insolence of Office, and the
arbitrariness and stupidity of public
officials, elective as well as hereditary.
Obviously, no one is in so good po-
sition to appraise the value Of serv-
ice as the one who is to receive 1t.
His judgment or his taste may be
perverted, but the same is equally
likely in the case of any functionary
to whom it may be entrusted. If the
individual is to be left free to pursue
his own interest in the way of per-
forming service, 1t seems to follow
necessarily that he must also be left
free to pursue his own interest in the
way of securing the services OF
others.

HOPED CARS MANY YEARS
Practice Has Not Yet Resulted in
Injury to Nellie, Train
mems Mascot

To get on the footboard Of an en-
CINE running at the speed of ten miles
an hour is not easy for the average
person. The risk is great, and the
chances for miscalculation, which
might prove fatal, are many. Yet,
Nellie, four years old, does it every
day, and has been doing it since she
has been two years old. Nellie is
the mascot of the "day- and-night
crew. of the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road company.
She appeared in the yards at Twen-
ty-first street two years ago, home
less waif, gaunt and lonely. Her evil
dent longing for care and sympathy
attracted the members Of the crew,
and they adopted her. Later she
adopted them. She is "a half-breed
collie, or setteE, but George Price,
yardmaster, says she is smarter than
any other dog. When the crew makes
ready to bring Pacific ~ into the
station, at nine o'clock, Nellie sta
tons herself on the rear platform Of
the last car
There she stays until the train
backs into the station and she is sure
that the air hose and couplings are in
good condition. Assured of this, she
runs to the engine and climbs aboard
for her ride to Ewing avenue.
Foreman Allison, of the crew, goes
to supper a little after nine o'clock,
and Nellie accompanies him, return
ing in time to assist the crew in other
work. Pacific ~ is the last train
she rides to the station at night, but
her energy never flags. When other
switches are to be made she goes out
on the engine, sometimes on the foot
board with one of the men, sometimes
in the cab, but seldom trip is
missed.
Her greatest Stunt is boarding
moving trains. Waiting until the en-
CINE approaches close enough, she
springs for the running-board, alight-
ing with a sureness of foot and skill
which are the envy of even expe-
rienced railroaders. To miss would
be fatal, as there would be no chance
for her to get out Of the way Of the
monster switch engine. Yet, even ii
the train is making ten miles an hour,
she does not falter.
She goes on duty at seven O'Clock
in the evening and knocks off" at
seven in the morning, when she is
rewarded with quart bottle OF milk.
| She knows the whistle of her engine
as we'll as the Oldest member OF the
crew, and the minute she hears it,
| of she races to her self-appointed
| task and station.
The train crew says that she &C
| auired the art of train hopping
without any teaching on their part.

PLAN LARGER POST.
Fort Robinson in List of Those to Be
Advanced.

Fort Robinson, Neb, is in, the list
of western posts which Secretary Taft
is planning to enlarge for brigade
headquarters of the army. 1t requires
a good deal of space to maneuver a
brigade of soldiers, hence it would re-
quire large outlay of money to pre-
pare the reservation grounds and
erect necessary buildings at Fort
Robinson to accommodate the pro-
posed increase of troops. Notwith-
standing reports to the contrary, it is
asserted that Fort Niobrara will in the
future be abolished and the forces and
equipment at that post consolidated
with Fort Robinson.
The war department has at it's dis
posal for the present year nearly $780,
100000 apportioned as fellows:
Transportation, s12,OoO,0O0; buildings
and quarters, sS,OOO,0OO; post, $780,
900. Forts Riley, Ieavenworth, Sam
Houston and Russell are also included
in the list for engagements to accom-
modate brigade forces.

He KILLS HIMSELF
AUGUST II. JENNINGS OF OMAHA
COMMITS SUICIDE.
WAS CITY TREASURER FOR SIX YEARS
Dependency Over Failure to Receive
Nomination for Mayor at Repub-
lcan Primaries Is Supposed
Cause for the Act.

August H. Hennings, city treasurer
of Omaha from 1900 to 1906, treasurer
of the state republican committee and
unsuccessful candidate for the repub
lican nomination for mayor last spring,
shot and killed himself in the bath
room of his home, 1904 Davenport
street, Omaha. He gave no warning
whatever that he contemplated ending
his life.
From all that can be learned the
motive for the suicide was contained
in the disappointment which Mr.. Hen
nings sustained by his defeat for the
mayoralty nomination. His nature
was extremely sensitive and up to a
short time before the primaries, April
8, he fully expected to win. Outwardly
he bore his defeat cheerfully, and afte.
retiring from the Office of city treas
urer he entered into a merchandise
and household goods storage and mer-
chandise brokerage business with his
former chief clerk, Harry G. Couns-
man.
Tom HOLSTER, manager of A. H.
Hennings' mayoralty campaign, made
public a letter found on the body of
Mr.. Hennings. The letter follows.

Immigrants Enslaved.

The Italian immigrants and other Ia
borers sent to the south and west by
New York padrones are the victims of
cruel treatment and repression is one
of the statements made by License
Commissioner John N. Pogart in the
annual report of the work of his Of
flee, which he submitted to-day to
Mayor Mcclellan. Mr.. Bogart reported:
THE Italian immigrants are too gen.
orally the victims of tho padrone. 1t
Is characteristic of the Italian immi-
grant that he looks with suspicion on
everybody but his own countryman,
and in him he puts confidence that Is
almost incredible. The padrone has
practically instituted slave system
among his countrymen. He hires the
immigrants by the hundred to go out
of the city to work on contracts and
obtains from the employing corpora
ton what is known as tho commissary
privileges; that is, he furnishes the
workmen with food and lodging, de-
Quoting the cost from theip wages. AS
Inc paurOne IS the sole aTDlITdtor VI
the cost of these necessaries, it can be
imagined how much the ignorant i'm
migrant obtains as the net result of his
labor. In recent cases brought to the
attention of the commissioner of Ii
censes it was shown that hundreds of
Italian immigrants who believed they
were going to Philadelphia or Pitts
burg were really landed in the swamps
of Florida and the wilds of North Car
DINA, where they were kept on rail-
road construction work under the sur
vigilance of armed guards until they
became too sick to be of value, when
they were turned loose to make their
way back to New York as best they
could"

A NEW MOUNTAIN RAILWAY
It's Highest Point Will Reach Nearly
Fourteen Thousand Feet
Above the Sea.

Switzerland is the home of mountain
railway With an area not larger than
one-third of the state of New York,
there may be counted about 100 rail-
ways for the sole purpose of carrying
passengers to mountain tops varying
in height from a few thousand to 5000
or 5000 feet. The month of August,
1905, witnessed the opening of way
carrying tourists ever far above these
attitudes, beyond the clouds, to $500
feet; and, when completed, it's highest
point will reach nearly $4,000 feet
above the sea-at the top of the ia
NOUS Jungf1au, the queen of the
Berner Overland.
There are other mountain railways
on the globe attaining much higher
attitudes than even this, and on the
Ovoya railway of Peru. myself trav-
eled a considerable distance above 49,
COO feet; but most of these roads were
built for the development of COM
MERGE and mining industries. The
Swiss mountain railways, however, are
almost exclusively in the service of
tourists only, numbering in Switzer-
land alone not far from 100000 every
year. They come to admire the scenic
wonders Of the little country on the
roof of Europe, or to seek shelter
against summer heat at the many
mountain resorts.
The majority of these mountain rail-
ways are paying investments. Switzer-
land, being a country of mountains, is
consequently also a country of water
courses fed by the inexhaustible store
of snow and ice covering many square
miles of the Alpine chains. Alaskan
ice-fields are bedded in between the
peaks right in the heart of Switzerland,
and, although a great deal has been
written about the general recession Of
glaciers, which in some instances
amounts to a hundred and more feet
year for year, such losses are quite
insignificant compared with the enor-
nous extent of these ice deposits. A
number of them have depths of several
thousand feet, with millions of tons of
solid, hardfrozen ice, continually sup
piled from fresh snowfalls above. They
| feed Rhine and Rhone, Pc and Danube,
| during the dry summer months, and
| the many mountain streams of Switzer-
land, forming beautiful cascades and
| falls and rapids, furnish the power
| which carry tourists in comfortable
railway carriages to the very tops from
which they themselves come. They
are led to turbine-pits, drive-wheels
and generators, and are thus con-
verted into electric power. The Swiss,
having no coal deposits of their own,
have become acknowledged experts in
this branch of technical engineering,
furnishing turbines and electric plants
for the whole world. Thus, for in
stance, the gigantic turbines at Mag
arA Falls, many of which generate
forces of from 10000 to 1900 horse
power each, have been constructed al
most without exception by Swiss firms.
