H|bERN|ANS HAVE
 MUCH RIVALRY

Dublin, February 18.-(Special.)- There Is much rivalry In connection with public positions between certain members of the Ancient Order of Hi- bernians This element of opposition has become keen amongst prominent members in connection with the muni- cipal elections, and especially in re- gard to the filling of the position of Lord Mayor. It is a question of who Is to have the upper hand" in yielding the influence of the organization as whole. Many members who are not personally interested in politics have protested against the use of the name of the organization in political affairs.

ASTAGE OF MAD
 STAG REALISM

Rome. February 1S.-(Specia1.)-A tale of stage realism run mad comes from Florence. There is a mixture of the ghastly and the humorous in the narrative.
 Signor Antonio Boonvino Is the di- rector of the Naples Touring company. wishing to make Hamlet" realistic as possible he persuaded a grave digger to exhume a couple of skulls from the local cemetary.
 When the spectre, wierdly illuminated appeared on the stage to the Prince of Denmark some of the audience began to scream and fled from the building.
 A public prosecution followed, and the Comedy King" was fined and sent enced to a months imprisonment. The magistrate agreed to treat him as q first offender, but insisted that the grave digger should go to prison.
 The digger left the dock complaining bitterly. He asserted that his reward for digging the skulls consisted of q couple of francs and a half dozen tickets to the show.
 It has erronouslv been announced that beginning in March next the Pope will close the Vatican galleries to the public, so that all those who come to re- joice in the occupation of this city will not be permitted to see these treasures of ancient and Renaissance art. It is n falsehood. invented by the enemies of the pontiff. The Pope in consideration of the safety of Catholic pilgrims dur ing this year, when the anti-clerical and anarchic elements will flock here, has discouraged pilgrimages. That has been found fault with by the promoters

If you look up my record you will find that I began treat ment nine weeks ago yesterday, weighing 257 pounds. When l stepped on the scales this morning over at E. M. Carr's grocery (where I have been weighing in" every day) Itipped the beam at an even 200 pounds. there wasn't a hair either way. That 8 flfty-seven pounds in nine weeks, or about six pounds Q week.
 Now. Professor, I  want your advice be- fore going any further. Do you think I am re- ducing too fast? I wanted to go to about 1S0 or lS5. but as I am feeling so good now. may be I had better not take of more than i've or six pounds. What do you think? You can see how I look from the two photos I send with this. One taken the day before I began treatment, the other a few days ago.

DEPUTY AND BEARD
Ky GEORGE DUPREsNE

Paris, February 1S.-(Special)- )-Seldom has newspaper canard of the most un- reasonable kind had such a success and created such a sensation the world over as "Gil Bias recent story that the Pope had decided to leave the vatican and settle down at Lourdes. and seldom has any story been so absolutely absurd
 That Papal Rome will be in mourn ing this year is certain, but Pieux X is not the man to run away. Whither would the Pope go if circumstances compelled him to quit the Eternal City, is sub ject often discussed. The favorite solu- tion is Malta, with the consent of the British government.
 As for Lourdes, why Lourdes is the cen ter of an anti-clerical French department and was only saved from extinction be- cause of the grist 1t brought to the mill. Such a step would be a matter of nego- tiation and there have been no negotia- tions of any sort between France and the holy see since the days of NJ. Combes. A priori, the pontiff would scarcely select a place like Lourdes for his presence there would give the sanctuary a doc trnal value, whereas a belief in it's mir acles is entirely optional on the part of the faithful.
 If perchance the French government of fered hospitality to his holiness, there is an old palace at Avignon that would be an ideal residence. The popes lived al Avignon from 1909 to 1877. They bought the city, which belong to the Roman church until 1791, when it was reunited to France Avignon is a wonderful place, full of strength. charm, it's old walls and battlements vividy recalling the mid dle ages.

TAXED TO HANDLE
THE Fertilizers
Americas District Especially
Heavy User

The tremendous movement of fer
tilizers over the Seaboard continues
unabated. Never before in the history
of the division between Americas and
Savannah has the pressure of such
freights on the roads carry capacity
been so great
Every effort has been made to ex-
pedite the movement, but for several
weeks past the road has been literally
blocked with freight trains carrying
the fragrant plant food
I'VE have never known such a trc-
mendous offerings of fertilizer, be-
fore" said Division Supt. Grimshaw
to Times-Recorder representative.
1--WE brought new engines and box
cars down and we have ample use for
them. The road has been literally lin
ed with trains carrying thousands up
on thousands of tons to the farms on
its route. Given good weather the
crop of cotton in our territory, we
have reason to believe, will show
tremendous increase. Our reports
show largely increased acreage, and
in addition the use of fertilizers will
be on a most liberal scale"
Travellers passing up and down
the Seaboard from Americas to Sa-
vannah for a month past have COM
mented on the numerous freight trains
passed. The odor of fertilizer has
been so frequently encountered that
it seemed like one long-drawn. breath
of the compound for two hundred
miles
Probably no railroad in the South
finds its territory developing in an
agricultural way than that traversad
by the Savannah-Americus- Montgom-
cry division Of the Seaboard The
foresight of the builders of the old
Sam road has been justified by the
events of the past ten years. If they
had not encountered financial rocks,
but had been able to hold on to the
property, it today would have been one
that would have amply paid the Ameri-
Gus investors and their friends for
their efforts and money turned loose
in it's creation, And the country it
runs through today is merely an in
dication of what it will be a few years
hence with the development now in
nrogress.
