1t is now reported that Cardinal Glib.
| bons told the Pope that Miss Katharine
Elkins will embrace the Catholic faith
| before she marries the Duke OF the
Abruzzi 1t is said that the Pope ques-
toned Cardinal Gibbons very closely
about the Elkins family. Shucksl
Katharine EIkins and her family are
worth the whole hbruzzi bunch when il
comes to that 1t is only too bad that
she thinks of throwing herself away or
the Dago outfit 1t sure does not please
| her father any.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury John
G.. Carlisle, who has been in Washing
time Taft leads the host, and thinks he
will be elected.
Washington has gone plumb art
crazy. There are some fine big trees
out in front of the new District Build
ing, and it has been decided by the
powers that be that those beautiful trees
detract from the appearance of the Dis
trict Building, and so they must core
down. The trees have been 20 yea RS
or more growing to their present beau
ty, and they are quite half block away
from the building across little park,
but not having been counted in the
art plan for identifying the District
Building they are to be grubbed cut.
1t is tough on Mother Nature, but as
she seems to be out of the art scheme
rageous, however
Maj. j. H. Russell, U. S. Army, and
10 enlisted men of his command have
arrived in Washington for treatment by
the Pasteur remedy for dog bite on the
Canal Zone. ~ tramp dog came stray
ing into camp one day, and was petted
by the men for few hours. Tnen 1t
turned upon them, and mangled 10 of
the enlisted men and Maj. Russell him
self. The dog was killed, and then it
was examined carefully. The surgeons
found that it was mad all right. The
bitten men were Immediately trans
ferred to commands in Washington, so
that they might be hurried home for
treatment. The men were bitten July
%. 1t was four days later before they
could get steamer north. Not one
feels bit worse for wear, and no syrnp-
toms of rabies or any other disease has
developed, and all are sanguine that
they will escape the dreaded death.
Maj. Russell was accompanied by his
wife and little daughter. Mrs. Russell
is almost Frustrated by the possible ont
come of the trip. The men bitten are
w. II. Hawkins. A. b. Hobbal, r. d.
BagIey, w. H. McFarIane, T. Clark. G.
E. Baxter, Thomas Wopple, W. Z.
Cooper, Oscar Anderson and L. Moore.
They will return to duty as soon as
treated.
Plans are being completed for life
sized bronze statue of Grover Cleveland,
to be erected in Chicago by the Union
League Club. 1t will cost 100000, and
will probably be unvailed March Is. the
I'D anniversary of Cleyeland's birth.
This is the second statue that has been
planned for the late President Cleve-
land.
A unique blu. sensible memorial is TO
be erected to the memory of the late
Senator Quay. He had anijdeal home
in mind Senator Quay had long
planned such dwelling. and had con-
ferred with Hall Game. the novelist, his
warm friend, as to the name. Game
had decided on 'BalIamona." and this
will be the name of the house, for which
Mrs. Quay and her daughters have just
had the plans drawn.
About six years ago. while the Sena-
tor and his wife were travelling in Italy,
they met Game. and the three discussed
at length the house which Quay intend
ed to build when he retired from public
life. The library was planned roughly
by Caine for Mr.. Quay, and these plans
win be followed.
The exterior of the house will be
modelled after an old English sastle.
This home is to cost $I0Q.Js0. 1t
will be erected on Sewickley fl 'gl.tJ, the
fashionable suburb of Pittsbu'S.
