 New York, Dec. 14.-Nearly score of Democratic leaders drank to the toast David B. Hill For President" at Hoffman House dinner.
 Among those who lifted their glasses and then drained them at the sugges- ton of the name of the former gov ernor and United States senator were Chairman William J. Corners of the Democratic state committee, National Committeeman Norman E. Mack, Tam many Chief Charles F. Murphy, Ma tional Committeeman Roger Sullivan of Illinois, Senator Patrick H. McCar- ren, Anthony N. Brady, State Commit teemen Burghard, Kennedy and Finu- cane.
 The incident was declared by leaders who participated to be the forerunner of a movement to use not only the name of Hill, but of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, to make it impossible to pledge the New York and Illinois dele gations to the Democratic national convention to William J. Bryan.

 Rome, Dec. 14.-The mission of Mgr. Patrick w. Riordan, archbishop of San Francisco, is more important than was believed, he having undertaken to sound Pope Plus about the appoint ment of another American cardinal. He had an audience with the pOntiff, and it is reported that Mgr. Riordan approached the subject by enumerat- ing the ecclesiastic, religious and polit- ical reasons initiating in favor of a new American cardinal.
 The pope answered that he had no objection and asked. Mgr. Riordan's opinions as to choice among the prelates of the hierarchy in the United States. Mgr. Riordan recalled his for mer views, which were expressed un- der Pope Leo, saying that the appoint ment of Archbishop Ireland would be a cause of satisfaction to Catholics and also to Protestants and would raise the prestige of the church in America. The matter of appointing the Rev. Edward Hanna of Rochester coadjutor archbishop of San Francisco also was discussed. Mgr. Riordan will remain in Rome until this question is decided by the propaganda. This, it is expect ed, will be done some time in January.

How much, how little? How much am bid!" he shouted as he waved the silk tie. very pretty pattern, in the air. The first bid was ten cents, but it soon became brisk; going up a cent or two at a time until it reached a quarter of dollar, for which it was knocked down.

Very little of his wardrobe remained when he finished the sale. but he managed to cling to his big oyercoat, which he greatly appreciated on the way home that evening. Those who bought received bargains.
