NOTRE DAME CELEBRATED.
Fiftieth Anniversary of Ordination of
 Pipe Plus X. {

An event of joyous celebration, the fiftieth anniversary of ordinate of the sovereign pontiff, Plus X, was celebrated on Monday at the academy of Notre Dame.
 The unbidden guest, anticipating severe simplicity and rigid restraint, within convent walls was permitted a peep at the girlish festivities and his hitherto iron clad theories and world worn traditions were complete ly routed as they beat a nasty re- treat.
 Though the broad Atlantic rolled between the Roman vatican and the little house on the hill" the mighty expanse of old ocean could not sepa- rate the loyal joy of the devout dig nitaries at St Peters from that of the youthful hearts steadfast in the old faith.
 As the glorious pageant of pontiff and prelate passed through Rome's vast cathedral the humble nuns and their pupils knelt for the celebration of mass in the solemn hush of their own little chapel, recalling to rec ollection and prayer the pious priest of fifty years ago who offered his first oblation of bread and wine At the conclusion of the religious cere- monies the visitor was granted per sonally conducted tour of inspection The many class rooms were thronged with fair occupants, from the tiny tots listening open eyed and open mouthed to the ravishing tales of fairy lore to the more serious seniors who had laid aside their books and their wonted diellity that they might enjoy themselves as fancy dictated.
 The tedium of scholastic duty was forgotten and in the afternoon the reverend superior provided boun- tiful repast for the merrymakers as well as permission to repair to as- sembly hall for grand ball--for la dies only
 It was a red letter day in convent life and the joy note was not whit discordant in the ''even tenor of its way" k. H. B.

BRYAN NOT TALKING.
Will Not Attempt to Decide Until
 Time Comes.

San Antonio. Tex, Nov. 1s.--In an- swer to the direct question "Will you run for the presidency again if condi- lions arise to warrant it?" William J. Bryan said:
 My friends do not require me to prejudice the future. shall continue to write and speak in defense of things which I believe to be good for thu American people. hope 1t may never become necessary to run for office again, but will not attempt to decide that question until The time comes to act. I do not see any necessity to say more on the subject.
 T am not at all discouraged as to the future of the Democratic party. There must be Democratic party in every country, and I want our party to be Democratic, and I have no doubt that the country will see the necessity for the adoption of the reforms advo- cated by the Democratic party. It is already great educational force. and have no doubt that conditions will so indicate the party as to make the voters turn to 1t as the best instrument for the accomplishment of the neces- sary reforms.'

HEADS TO DROP

LILLEY APPOINTMENTS

New Haven, Nov 1S.--No little stir was created here to-day by cir culation of the report that fed EaI office holder had been sum- moned to Washington to explain all leged "pernicious activity in the last campaign. The federal officer in question is out of town to-day but some of his intimate friends, however, declared that they did not believe he had been called to Wash ington. Coupled with this report was another that Congressman Sperry had been requested to name sue cessor to Postmaster George I. AL len of Middletown. In an interview Postmaster Allen said that he was in office as hold over and for the past twenty-nine months many of his op- ponents had been fighting his reten- tion of the office. He said that his resignation had not been asked for, and the report that the president had sent a request for his resigna- tion was only another of the many recurrent rumOrs circulated by his enemies
 Another report was that railroad commissioner Andrew F. Gates would not be reappointed as rail- road commissioner. It is stated that MT Gates has already announc- ed that he will not be candidate for reappointment.
 Still another report is that the railroad commissioner o. R. Fyler will not be reappointed to the rail road commission. A number of pe- titions favoring appointment of var ious individuals for offices which will be filled by Governor-elect Lil- ley are in circulation, including one in behalf of Dr F. G. Atwood, for cattle commissioner. The term of commissioner Averill expires next July.
 The candidacy of Rev Frederick Sexton, rector of St James church, Westville, for the chaplaincy of the senate was announced to-day.
 There is noticeable activity here in behalf of Congressman Hill for the senatorship.
 Further inquiry here brought statements from intimate friends, that the federal officer who is re- ported to have been called to Wash ington to explain his supposed cam paign activity may have gone to Washington on friendly mission in behalf of Postmaster Allen.
 It is understood here that MT Julin has declined the offer of ex- ecutive secretary to MT Lilley.

TRUCK READY FOR BUSINESS.
None the Worse for Slight Accident
 Received.

]. The auto truck of the fire depart ment is on duty again. Last evening about o'clock with the injury done the preceding night all repaired, the auto whizzed from Towle's garage over to the engine house. The new wheel is being painted to-day and the truck is apparently none the worse for the accident. The supply wagon was 'vamoosed" after doing service for one day. The wagon was sent back to the Scovill street house whence it came; the harness went back to the Brooklyn house where it was gotten yesterday morning; one of the horses was taken to the Bald win street house from which it had been borrowed and the other was sent home it's residence at the Burton street house. The North Willow street house felt trifie slighted be- cause it had given nothing for the emergency outfit.

 Important Question
FRENCH ARE DIVIDED

Berlin, Nov 1S.-The results of the representations made to Emper- or William yesterday by Chancellor von Buelow and the consequent im- perial pledge to keep both the speeches and the acts of his majesty within close constitutional bounds
 are measured in colder mood by the people to-day The emperor is still liuch isolated from the sympathies of both the upper and lower levels of society. The talk among the friends of the chancellor and the ministers to-day is that they must wait and see how the emperor acts when the next keenly interesting question comes up. Doubt exists as to whether at the age of 50 the em- peror's impulsive and candid disposi- tion can be so deeply modified by the events of the past fortnight that he will depart from practice he has followed during the twenty years of his reign Prince von Buelow and his party will pursue an opportunist policy, affirming resolutely that the imperial conduct will faithfully fol- low the imperial word. t
