CONSISTORY NEAR?
Reported on Good Authority That More
Cardinals Will Soon Be Created.

Reported on 1ood Authoflty hat wore
Cardinals Will Soon Be Created.
Death has reduced the number of
members of the Sacred College so low
that it is now believed a Consistory
will be held as soon as the Roman
celebration is over. The Rome cores
pondent of the Catholic Standard and
Times is authority for this statement
He writes:
The loss of tho Cardinal Archbishop
of Sydney, Australia, which brings
down to orty-eight the number Of
the Princes of the Church, will render
necessary the holding of IL consistory
before very long, especially since sew
eral of the Cardinals of the Roman
curia. Owing to ~. ~ .salnd sand illness. are
unable to take any active part in the
government of the Church. And thus
arose the novel question whether Plus
"A. WOulu uuIlIlS llio lllllcsS
were such a course necessary, to hold
consistory.
There are not wanting cases where
Popes convol1ed consistorie and held
them in their bedrooms. Pope Adrian
W., after q reign Of. a year and II half,
fell i'll and called consislory to his
bedside, where he created one Car
dinal in the person of the Bishop Of
Tolouse. In 1869 Clement TX. held d
consistory in his sleeping apartment
and created seven Cardinals. Nine
days afterwards he passed away.
However, there is no occasion for a
hasty consistory at present. 1t is suf-
ficent for Plus \. that he has IL num-
Der of Cardinals to man the Roman
congregations. Moreover, we may eX-
pect a consistory any time after the
month of November, for the exhibl-
ton, which has failed, will then be
finished in more ways than one, and
the UNITED Italy" celebrations will
have come to an cnd.

Columbus Memorial.

The new memorial to be erected at
WASHINGTON, D. c., in honor of Chris
topher Columbus, will be different
from the many similar works of art
in the nations capital, in that it will
be constructed of white marble. With
only two exceptions all Of the numer-
Gus statues in the public parks Of
the national capital are of bronze or
similar material.
The Columbus memorial will be
composed entirely of pure white mar
ble including the heroic statue of
Columbus. the two figures of ancient
and modern American Inhabitants,
the shaft which forms the background
of the statue, the globe and two eagles
which surmount the shaft, the caravel
on which the statue stands and its
allegorcal figurehead. the two lions
which decorate the ends Of the semi
circular fountain which provides
setting for the statue and the super
structure of the fountain basin.
The memorial will cost $4,000. All
the carving is to be done by the Pic
c;,rilli brothers Of New York under
the supervision of Larado Taft, de-
slgner of the memorial, which will be
dedicated next May.

Prominent Irish politicians say that
Frank j. Sullivan, of San Francisco,
is so sure of a Home Rule Parliament
being set up in Dublin in the course
of year Or Two that he has already
to develop an ambitious
scheme of decoration for the Irish
Parliament House on College Green.
What is more, he is ready to back
his scheme with Il big pile of dollars
lnGuinr scion of the O'Sull-
van Rearc does not believe In such
shows as bonflrcs at crossroads or tar
barrels on Irish hllsidcs to celebrate
such an important event in the his
tory of Ireland. He wants something
more lasting, that will appeal more to
the martial and artistic temperament
of the Irish people. This proposal is
to invite Il number of artists of Irish
blood to paint a picture OF the battle

fought grandly--W hich Will be hung

EIkton's Municipal Election In
Tangle.

According to dispatch from Elkton,
it is probable there will be no municipal
election in that town this spring. The
last Legislature passed law to govern
elections in Elkton, which practically pro-
hibits from registering negroes who do
not pay taxes on at least $500 worth of
property. A similar law recently was de-
clared by Judge Morris, presiding over
the United States District Court for Mary
land. to be unconstitutional. and the two
men who served as registers of voters last
year have resigned their positions.
On Tuesday the election supervisors
appointed William B. Merry and William
w. Burkley, registers, but it is understood
that both will decline and it looks as
though it will be impossible to get anyone
to serve, as no one seems willing to take
a chance of coming into the Governments
clutches for the small amount paid for
the work.
Unless registration of the voters is
held it will be impossible to hold the cleo
tion, and in that event Victor r. Bennett
and Cadmus Price, the retiring members
of the Town Council, will hold over for
another year, or until their successors ale
elected and qualify.

be erected.
At this hatchery, according to w. E.

undertaken the work of endeavoring to
discover some fish that can take the place
Of shsd above the big dams insthe river,
in case the Mccall's Ferry dam should
prove to be barrier to the shad ascend
Ing the river.
Those in contemplation are the white
fish of Lake Erie, and the white perch of
the Chesapeake Bay. The former is a
cold water fish, and if experiments. prove
that the water above the big dams in the
river is cold enough. efforts will be made
to propagate il in large quantities, and to
introduce it in the Susquehanna.
Besides the new fish mentioned the new
hatchery is to be devoted largely to river
FISH native to the Susquehanna. If the
lake fish thrive in the McCall's dam, it
will be introduced in other large dams in

A TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT.
Thirsting Family Dl:..H Water From
o Poison Spring.

One Of the most pitiful tragedies
of the Mojabe Desert in recent years
was discovered in 1nyo county, CAL,
when q party Of teamsters on their
way across the sandy waste came
upon the family Of George McDer-
mott.
McDermott and family, consisting
of his wife and five children, started
overland several weeks ago for mill
valley Utah. Becoming short of wa
ter, it is thought, they drank from
cne of the numerous poison springs
on the desert. Their horse and cow
became sick and the cow died. Then
McDermott fell i'll and died six days
later.
The distracted widow and mother
then took up the reins and drove the
nearly dead horses for miles over
the desert in search Of water until
she too was stricken. When the
teamsters found the family the moth
er was near death and the children,
all sick, were clinging to her. All
were taken on to Mill City and 1t ls
thought the mother will die.
