to convey To President Diaz the OK
preston of his personal regard and
earnest wish for his welfare and hap
piness. The president said:
For the great republic adjoining

progress of the republics of America
have brought us and Mexico into close

of dozen knife wounds in his burn

CARDINAL WILL
PAY PRIESTS DEBTS
Young Pastor Spent $4,000
on Visionary Schemes.

Baltimore, March 1.-THE revela-
tions published concerning the finan-
cial ventures of Rev. Caspar P. Elbert,
recently removed from the rectorship
of st. Katherine's Catholic church, this
city, have caused profound sensa-
tion in Catholic circles.
The deepest sympathy is expressed
for Cardinal Gibbons, who has as
sumed the burden of paying Father
Elbert's debts. These obligations, so
far as disclosed by the investigation
into the priests affairs, amount to
about $130,000, exclusive of a church
debt of $2S,00O.
Father Eibert's projects included in
terests in patents and the purchase of
land on large scale at Relay, Md,
upon which he intended to erect fac
tories. Another project was the pur.
chase of a copper mine and the estab
lishment of smelling factory.
One after another of these schemes
were taken up by him with enthusi
asm and thousands of dollars lost in
them.
A statement issued by E. H. Cans
Cardinal Gibbons agent, says:
Although the cardinal may not be
legally liable on these obligations, as
they were made without his knowledge
or consent, yet he feels morally bound
to assume them and to endeavor tC
pay them as sooh as possible. AS the
amount is very much larger than his
present means, he asks the indulgence
Of those who hold these obligations
and he will make every endeavor to
pay them as soon as he is able"

Bore the Test Well.

A famous dramatist was the hero of
one of the most amusing marriage pro-
posal experiences on record. When as
a. young man he fell in love with the
pretty daughter of a pastor he was
afraid to face the lady and so wrote
her letter. He was told to call the
next afternoon and receive his an
swer. On reaching the house he was
shown into a room and given seat
on a sofa. The servant said that the
lady would soon appear. He sat and
hung around in that room for fully
two hours, often tempted to leave the
house or make a break for further in
formation, but not having the courage
to do either. At last he could stand it
no longer and rushed into the corridor,
making for the door out of the house.
Then he heard shout of clear, silvery
laughter in the room he had left. He
FASTENED back and saw the face of his
sweetheart peeping out from under
the sofa, convulsed with mirth. ''Do
forgive me-" she calculated. II simply
wanted to find out how long you
would wait for me. You have borne
the test well. Now help me to my
feet."-Ladies' Home Journal.

SkyIarks.

John Burroughs relates that a num-
Der of years ago a friend in England
sent him score of skylarks in a cage.
He gave them their liberty in field
near where he lived. They drifted
away, and he never heard or saw them
again. But one Sunday a Scotchman
from neighboring city called on him
and declared, with visible excitement,
that on his way along the road he had
heard a skylark. He was not dream
ing; he knew it was a skylark, though
he had not heard one since he had left
the banks of the Doom a quarter of a
century or more before. The song had
given him infinitely more pleasure
than it would have given to the natu-
ralfst himself. Many years ago some
skylarks We're liberated on Long Is
land, and they became established
there and may now occasionally be
heard in certain localities. One sum-
mer day a lover of birds journeyed
out from the city in order to observe
them. A lark was soaring and singing
in the sky above him. An old Irish
man came along and suddenly stopped,
as if transfixed to the spot A look of
mingled delight and incredulity came
into his face. Was he indeed hearing
the bird of his youth? He took off his
hat and turned his face skyward and,
with moving lips and streaming eyes,
stood long time regarding the bird
"Ah," thought the student of nature,
"if l could only hear the bird as he
hears that song with his ears" To the
man of science it was only bird song
TO be critically compared to a score of
others, but to the other it brought
back his youth and all those long gone
days on his native hills.

MOTOR BOAT RACES TODAY

Little Sea FIiers Begin Four Days
Contests on Lake Worth, Florida.
Palm Beach, Fla, March 16.-Al-
though the absence of the Dixie H.,
Americas fastest motor boat, detracts
somewhat from the interest of the
motor boat races which began on Lake
Worth today, there is large enough
list OF entries in the races to satisfy
the motor boat enthusiasts assembled
here from all parts of the United
States. The Dixie has been shipped
abroad to compete in the international
races at Monaco.
The motor boat races are sailed on
Lake Worth, a long, narrow inlet of
the sea, separated from the ocean by
strip of sand. The boats compete
around a course measuring four and a
half nautical miles, little over five
land miles. There are seven racing
classes, the general events being re-
stricted to boats capable of making
more than twelve miles an hour. The
races will last four days.

The Abbot of FOOLS.


The abbot of fools, who was also
known in different parts as the arch
bishop or bishop of fools, the abbot of
misrule, the lord of misrule, the mas
ter Of unreason and Liable de Liesse,
was the person who used to superin-
tend the saturnalia which were COM
mon In different parts of Europe from
the fifth to the sixteenth century. The
feast of fools was an imitation of the
heather saturnalia and, like this, was
celebrated in December; hence the con-
fusion Of ideas which has arisen in
mixing this feast with the ordinary
Christmas revels. The chief celebra-
tion of the feast of fools fell upon In
nocents' day, but the whole revels last
ed from Christmas to the last day of
Epiphany. The young people generally
elected a leader, who went by one of
the names quoted, and he was conse-
Grated with many grotesque and ridic-
ulous ceremonies.
England, Scotland, France and Ger
many all practiced these wild saturna-
liza, and it was with great difficulty
that they were finally abolished. The
abbot was not responsible for any trick
or practical joke played on the rest of
the community by his orders, and the
victims had simply to "grin and bear
It," In the temple Qaw headquarters,

rule seems to have been a coveted one,
