Washington, Jan. S.-Second only to
Pope Plus X himself among the high
officials of the Catholic church in
Rome was Cardinal Satolli loved by
fellow churchmen in the United States
A title not conferred upon him by
the church, but one which is said to
have pleased him most, was that of
American cardinal" bestowed upon
him because of the interest and love
for the United States, better than any
ether member of the sacred college.
He understood the spirit of this
country, and valued to the full ex-
tent the Importance and influence that
the United States would exercise In
the political and religious development
of the world. Cardinal Satolli was
best known in the United States az
the first apostolic delegate from the
vatican to this country, having come
here on that mission October, 1892.
Cardinal Satolli was presented to
President Harrison and his cabinet,
and became impressed with the posi-
bilities for the church in the United
States.
Two years after this appointment as
delegate, Satolli was elevated to the
college of cardinals, and was invested
with Brevetta by Cardinal Gibbons in
the Baltimore cathedral with a most
imposing ceremony. In 1896 he was
relieved of duties here, and called back
to Rome by the pope.

Cost Seven and Half Cents Each at
Local Restaurants.
The average restaurant boarder,
who has been accustomed to calling
for a couple of fries or solf-boiled
eggs for his breakfast, will probably
change his order this morning.
Probably for the first time in the
history of local restaurants eggs are
now going at Z IL cents each. The
increase was made yesterday, owing
to the fact that the prices scared sky
ward during the day, and the restau.
rant men announced that they were
compelled to make the increase and
then stated that there was but little
profit in them, when bread and butter.
etc. are served with each order.
At this rate eggs are selling for 80
cents per dozen at the restaurants,
a highwater mark in prices, while at
the grocery stores the prices range
from 40 to AZ cents per DOZEN :.

Congress to provide pensions for the dis
abled and decrepit members Of the United
States LIfe-saying Service. and in spite OF
the fact that we are going in for a sea-
son of economy ia the expenditure Of
public money, there is every reason why
such cause as this should be heartily
and generously supported
In the first place, this is 4 service that
has been, and is to-day. OF inesumable

IIfe-saving Service are poorly paid, as
compared with men of the same abilities
and character in gaiufuI occupations.
Their wage is So a month. Throughout
the country there are nearly three hun
dred life-saving stations which are main
tanned at an annual cost Of s.. 900. and
looked at even from a material point Of
view, this expenditure pays. For during
the last fiscal year, ended June 30, there

HUMAN NATURE IN WASHINGTON
By FRED c. KELLY.

States-has always been Of the opinion
that one can learn things from mighty
humble sources.
Years ago when Kinds was a boy up
in Maine there was an old peddler around
town who was a good deal Of a character.
lie went about his business saying never
a Word-Hot even passing the time OF
day. II anybody inquired of him any
thing about himself. whence he came.
and who he was, ne would reach in under
the swaziland OF the old felt hat he
wore and pun out little book in which
he had written, in crude hand, his life
history.
When Kinds started 20 run for Con-
gress last summer he thought OF the
old peddler and it occurred 10 him That
there was merit in his system Of talking
little aud giving people their informa-
ton about ones self in black and white
Whereupon Kinds had some booklets
pTinted-booklets more prctentous than
the usual campaign documeut-in which
be set forth a half-tone picture Of him
self and the essential facts of his ca
reor and the booklets worked.
Kinds FIRST began 90 study up on par

Vital Military Defect.

There seems to be very vital defect ia
the existing laws pertaining TO the militia
and the volunteer army. so far as those
statutes bear any relation to the employ
ment Of an allied force IN connection with
the regular military establishment tt
must strike the observer who is outside
of the army or organized militia as pecul-
lar that the Executive and Congressional
activity directed toward the establishment
Of efficient volunteer troops. available for
duty in time of wac, has not been more
effective. We learn from the annual re-
port Of the Secretary Of War, for in
stance. that no means are at present pro
vided whereby the War Department can
determine in advance just what officers
and troops of the militia may DO depended
upon for service in the event of war and
whether or not they viii be suitable. It is
described as unfortunate that is
certainly a mild term to apply to the sit
uation-that the existing law does not de-
clare the legislative intent in some very
essential particulars and in other ways
speaks in language so uncertain as TO
leave that intent in doubt. It has been
expected that The very liberal allowance
which has been made by Congress for the
support Of the militia, including the ap-
preparation for maneuvers. would furnish
a definite and effective means Of employ
ing the militia in the service OF the
United States in time OF war. The actual
situation seems TO be as far as possible
from any such assurance of efficiency or
availability.
More than this. il appears from the
same source OF Information that there is
in existence no comprehensive measure
for the organization Of a volunteer army
to be raised after Congress has made
declaration Of war. There is a bill before
Congress for such a purpose. The meas
ure would be of inestimable value if the
country is ever again confronted with a
foreign war, and, OF course. the details Of
such a precautionary measure may best
be formulated in time of peace, when
there is opportunity for deHberation with
out waiting for the cOnfusio1 which must
inevitably attend such negotiations under
taken after war is a certainty.
It is a grave responsibility which rests
upon the military authorities in a situa-
ton Of this sort They can probably show
that they have urged Congress to do
something Of practical sort but Con-
gress has evidently woefuIIy failed Of its
duty. since tbezexistipg mihtia-law is, ac-l
