Father Pennella Dead.

Father Peter NJ. Pennella, S. j.,
head pastor of Conejos, was born
in Italy in 1S41 and hence was 81
years of age. He entered the Jes-
uit order in 1859 and they were to
celebrate his golden jubilee of
religious life very soon. having
been in the order 40 years. This
jubilee was very nearly correspond
ing to the one of his parish,
Conejos, which is the Oldest in the
state and was founded in 1858.
He was head pastor at Conejos at
two different periods, two years
from 1856 to 1888, and now six
years from 1902 to 1908. His
death occurred on April 11th. after
six days only of severe attack of
pneumonia. -.
All know that in the discharge
of his duties he was active and
strenuous even to the extent OF
imprudence. He was man of
few words, truly, his motto seems
to have been, Work, not words! y
His funeral was the largest, most
orderly and most touching ever
witnessed in Conejos, 1000 people
or more attended.
The gentlemen of the parish
after the interment held meeting
at the court house where, besides
the voting of resolutions, it was
decided to at once raise contri-
buttons for fitting monument in
the cemetery at Conejos.

At Rest.

Died, Monday night, at his home
in our city, William A. McCunniff,
aged twenty-seven years, four
months and thirteen days.
Deceased was the son of Thomas
McCunniff and was born on their
farm west of town, spending his
entire life there and in La Jara.
He had been an invalid from the
time he was four years old, his
spine being affected as the result
of severe case of scarlet fever,
and while he grew to manhood, his
constitution was an extremely frail
one, being utterly incapable of cop
ing with the attack of pneumonia
which caused his death.
A brief funeral service was held
at the home Wednesday morning,
but owing to illness, and the death
of Father Pennella, the church ser
vice can not be held until Monday
morning, April 81, at o'clock.
Many friends and relatives were
present, with hearts swelled with
sympathy for the bereaved family,
but as they looked upon the face
of Will McCunnitf they could but
feel that a wise Providence had
seen fit to end his sutferings and
welcome him to a home in the glor-
ious beyond where his joys must
be eternal.

THE DAY IN CONGRESS
The House.


Washington. Dec. IA new record
In the transaction OF the public bust
ness was established by the house OF
representatives today. The legislative.
executive and judicial appropriation
bin, which usually excites consider
able discussion, lasting for several
DAYS. was passed with little debate
and practically in the shape II came
from the committee. An unusual Tea
ture was that no member asked for
time TO indulge in general talk. the
facility with which the bill of loo
pages was put through was the subject
of much comment on the floor anu
the members OF the appropriations
committee feleitated themselves on
the outcome The bill carries an APP
preparation OF S31,665.320.
The house Immediately after con-
vening unanimously and without de-
hate adopted a resolution providing
for the appointment of a committee OF
five TO consider the reference To the
secret service in the presidents mes
sage. and to suggest what action, II
any. should be taken in the matter.
When the legislative appropriation
bin was called up by Mr.. Bingham. OF
Pennsylvania. the extraordinary situa-
tion was presented that for the first
time in twelve years no general debate
was asked for. Even the first reading
of the bill was dispensed with by
unanimous consent.
Mr. Bingham explained It's provis-
ions. the main features OF which al
ready have been printed, and its read
ing for amendment was begun.
when the provision for increasing
the salary OF the commissioner gem
eral of immigration was reached. Mr..
Macon (Arkansasl made a point OF
order against Il. and the increase was
not allowed.
Mr.. Fitzgerald (New York; criti-
cised the appointment OF Daniel Keefe

ing that he had no sympathy with
what he said was movement to pay
political debts in this manner"
There was lot OF hypocrisy. he

may have been the reasons for his ap-
pointment. he was well qualified and
would perform his duties with fidel-

FREE TRADE WITH COLONIAL
pOSSESSIONS ASSURED

Washington Dec. l1--Free trade
with the Philippines was one Of the
most important matters agreed upon
by President elect TAFT and the repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee at the conference on tariff
revision While Mr. Taft favors free
trade with the insular possessions
without any restrictions, Il is under
stood that in order that there shah be
no dissension, he has agreed that the
amount Of sugar and tobacco which
should be allowed free entry should be
restricted.
With this end in view, il is under
stood that the sugar interests have
agreed to a compromise by which
500. 600 tons OF sugar will be admit
ted from the Philippines annually free
OF duty and that all sugar over that
amount will pay the present rate Of
duty, which Is % per cent less than
the duty imposed by the Dingley tariff
on sugar from other countries,
Large beet sugar manufacturers
were in conference with various mem-
bers of the ways and means commit
tee today.
What amount will be fixed as a
maximum limit for the free entry Of
tobacco has not yet been determined
The democrats are understood to be
thoroughly In accord on the question
of free trade with the Philippines. It
Is probable that "a number of sugar
and tobacco manufacturers and grow

tee in order to obtain any further in
