DAoPs DEAD IN FIFTH AVENUE.
Sudden End of New York business Man
and Harvard Graduate.

Sudden End of New York business Man
and Harvard Graduate.
New York, Jan. Arthur Mills, vice
president and general manager of the
Merchants Dispatch and Transporta-
tion company, dropped dead from heart
failure in Fifth avenue, near Forty
sixth street, to-day. He was on his
way for a stroll from the University
club, of which he was a member.
Leaving the club he had paused to wish
a classmate at Harvard Happy New
Year, and seemed in his usual robust
health.
When he sank to the sidewalk he was
carried into a drug store and physi-
clan summoned. There was nothing to
be done, however.
Mr.. Mills was about sixty years old
and his home was in Brookline, Mass,
where his wife, it is said, lies critically
i'll. He had never made his permanent
home in this city since he became con-
nected with the Merchants Dispatch.
For more than year past he had
rooms at a hotel in upper Broadway,
going to his home in Brookline every
Friday night.
He was graduated from Earyard uni
yersity in the class Of ~, and was q
member of the University club in this
city and the Country club Of Brookline.
His body will probably be taken to
Boston for burial.

Cidcnt.
Rome, Jan. 1.-The Giornale D'Italia
publishes an interview with a promin-
ent English prelate concerning the ap-
pointment of an American cardinal.
The prelate in question reviews re-
cent events, particularly the encyclical
of Pope Leo against Americanism,
which he declares was written by Car
dinal Manzela. This encyclical dis
pleased Cardinal Gibbons, who, thinking
1t was inspired by Cardinal Rampolla,
Joined the Austrian and German car
dinals in defsating Rampolla at the last
conclave. Continuing, the prelate says
1t was thought that Archbishop Ireland
would be made cardinal when Pope
Leo called him from Paris, where he
was representing the United States at
the unveillng of the Lafayette statue.
This, however, Is now unlikely, in spite
of the fact that President Roosevelt
has urged another American prelate to
approach the vatican privately to this
end. The situation has been aggravat-
ed by the Storer incident, and if Arch
bishop Ireland should happen to be CIV
en- the red hat, the appointment must
ba ascribed to his personal merit,
