WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
DECLINE TO COMMENT
ON VATICAN AFFAIR

Oficial Washington was greatly inter
ested in the news that the Pope and Col
Roosevelt will not meet
Many were inclined to discredit the re-
| port at first. but when they were as
sured that it was true. they declined to
make any comment until all the facts
were made public.
II was generally understood here that
Col Roosevelt had profited By Mr. Fair
banks experience in Rome. and that
everything had been arranged so that the
meeting at the Vatican would go OF
without any unpleasantness.
The story in Washington is that VIII
lam Loeb. jr., collector OF the port OF
New York. wired to Col Roosevelt while
he was still in africa, informing him of
the mix-up that Mr. Fairbanks had got
into and suggesting TO Mr.. Roosevelt
what ought TO be done under the cir
cumstances.
Loeb showed Tact.
Mr. Loeb has been credited here with
having shown a good deal of tact in this
matter. and his friends have been citing
IL as an instance OF the collectors dipio-
macy and resourcefulness. It was I'M
derstool here that Col. Roosevelt was TO
avoid all question on the part OF the
Vatican by declining TO deliver a speech
before the Methodlsts. but that he would
at the same time appease the Methodist
brethren by accepting an invitation to a
dinner and remaining silent at that af-
fair
When the Pope refused 10 receive Mr..
Fairbanks it caused a stir in Methodist
and Catholic circles in this city Bishop
Earl Cranston. of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, issued a statement In which
he challenged Archbishop Ireland to
prove his statement that the Methodists
in carrying on the work In Rome We're
Idishonorable. The controversy extended
for several days and was bitter on both
sides
Bishop Cranston was out of the city
last night
AT that time also Mgr. Diomede Fall
COMO. apostolic delegate to the United
States. issued statement explaining the
Vatican's action and defending It, Mgr.
Falconio declined last night to make
any statement in regard to the Roose-
welt incident other Catholic clergymen
in this city also refused to comment on
it. Several of the Methodist ministers,
however. talked freely Rev. A H.
Thompson, of the Waugh Memorial
Methodist Church. said:
Col. Roosevelt's action may have been
a little abrupt, but there was nothing
else to do. and it was In keeping with
the character Of the man. His refusal
to have his movements dictated by any
man will receive the approval of every
body who believes in the free spirit OF
Americanism.
AdHiires Col. Roosevelt.
Rev J. Howard Wells, of the Mount
Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church
South. said:
I admire the spunk of Col Roosevelt
I believe it will do the Methodist Church
in Rome much good and 1 believe his
action Will meet with the approval of all
fair-minded Americans
Rev. Charles Wood. Presbyterian cler-
gyman, said;
The Pope has the right 10 say who
shall call on him. but not the right TO
decide what a man shall do after the
appointment"
Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, Of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
said:
The former Pope would have had
greater discretion

First CantaIever Rridae.

The first cantalever railroad bridge Is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry, Scotland It is nearly one and half miles in length Fifty. one thousand tons of steel were used in its construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $1G,- 100000 and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked & Emall fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion o. the bolts that were to complete the span. For time this was a puzzle. but was finally solved by an ingenious wcrkmap who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and it was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

SCIENTIFIC FEEDING.

Health as a Primary Factor In InteIli.
 gent Living.
 Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance, upon synl- metry of development. physical and mental harmony, that We should de everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means men, tai and moral poise. X large part of OUT ills come from one sided develop ment. caused by overstimulating some tissue cells and starving others-over. feeding and underfeeding. Scientific feeding, therefore, is of vast impor- tauce.
 oHereating and improper eating are among the curses of the world Think of the people who put all sorts of in- comratibles into their stomachs at the same time and tEen use all sorts of uostrums to get rid of their bad ef- fects
 One of the most pathetic sights il the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his am bition, yet handicapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut In the world-a one sided giant who might have been q symmetrical power. possessor of colossal brain largely controlled by dyspeptic stomach. He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do. things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do. but he was the victim of starved nerves. of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling.-Orison Swet.

A "Mite."

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to a mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite" seems to have been a third of a Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half far thing, and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books Unite" stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins, but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth of q penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of a farthing, and in 1874 Jeakes arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of penny.-Lon' don Chronicle.

Heroic Treatment.

In Guiana if child Is slow in lls movements the parents apply an ant to the child instead of whip to make 1t move faster. This little ant bites more cruelty than mosquito. and its bite is apt to be troublesome after' ward. AS you can imagine, this treat ment does not make the child kind to others, and the children of Guiana are said to be particularly cruel to anil mals. The little boys in Guiana do not reckon their age by years. but by their ability to endure pain. Until he gets to the point where he can let the Hucu ant bite him without wincing he IS considered merely baby.

Where Wives Arc Kept Under.

A Chinese Mrs. Caudle is incon. ceivable, for she would promptly be returned to her father labeled '"Too muchee bhoberry." Only by ono means can the lady obtain any right what. ever to use even the mild .;oral sua. sion wherewith the tactful western wife is wont to turn events to her lik- ing. If as bride the Chinese woman succeeded in sitting on any corner of her husbands clothes at the moment when, halfway through the nuptial ceremonials, they first seat themselves side by side she is understood to oc. cupy the position of mistress in her own house.
