JUBILEE OF CARDINAL GIBBONS
To be commemorated by the Erection
of a "Memorial Halp' at the
Catholic University.

On June 7, 1911, His Eminence,
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Balti-
more, will have completed the twenty
fifth anniversary of his membership
in the Sacred College of Cardinals.
This year, also, is the fiftieth of his
priesthood This double event is to be
marked by public jubilee celebration
in Baltimore on October 15. In anti
eipation of it plans have been made
by which these jubilee anniversaries
will be commemorated in a special
manner. At meeting of the clergy
of the Archdiocese of Baltimore held
at st. Mary's Seminary on January 1S,
it was proposed to inaugurate move
ment for the erection of Memorial
Hall in his honor at the Catholic Uni
versity, Washington, the funds to be
raised by public subscription through
out America. Bishop Corrigan, who
presided at the meeting, declared that
the proposed memorial would be Am
erica's tribute to it's well-beloved Car
dinal.
The suggestion made on this occa
sion was ratified at a subsequent meet
ing of the prominent laymen of the
Archdiocese at which they, led by Hon
Charles j. Bonaparte, pledged them
selves to cooperate in every possible
way in bringing the project to sue
cessful issue. A committee composed
of clergynen and laymen was appoint
ed to devise ways and means for col
lecting the necessary funds,

THE HIGHER LIFE.

We cannot ignore the tendencies in
our nature that would bring us to a
higher, broader, truer life without ig-
noring that which is best in our being.
We would thereby clip the wings OF
the soul in the unholy attempt to keep
Hit grubbing on the earth forever. The
progress of the world, the human con-
science, the stamp Of mobility impress
ed upon individual men are all the
effect OF the mending aspirations OF
the soul to reach a higher state. He,
indeed, is wise who sees his life lying
In the path above.

Fbr some weeks Archbishop Ryan
of Philadelphia has been critically i'll;
but hopes of his ultimate recovery

when he became suddenly worse.
Early in the week the doctors in at

week; and when he left the bedside
he said to the reporters who awaited
his departure that the Archbishop had
expressed the conviction that 'the
hope and stability of the nation de

nation is to last it must be directed by
them in the future, as it has been in

The Archbishop's mind continues
clear and active. He discusses the
business of the Diocese with his usual
interest in the projects for the ad
vancement Of religion. All realize
however, that the end is not far off.

throughout his whole career no one
doubted his sincerity or his courage
in following the dictates of his con.

WEEDS GIRL WHO NURsED HIM.

Hot Springs, Aug. 3.--A rather re. markable marriage was sOlemnizes last night when Miss Lucy Davis aged 20 yeas old, trained nurs, of this city, became the wife of c P. Cotton, aged 6S. The ceremony was performed by Justice of tht Peace Joe Afford at the home ol the brides brother-in-law, or East street, Oaklawn.
 There is quite a romance involved in the ceremony. Cotton met Miss Davis over year ago, when he came to Hot Springs for his health He engaged her as his nurse, anC she accompani, q him to his home in Greenwich, Cumberland county New Jersey. She nursed him all That time and b'ought him back tc llIs city some months ago. Cotton states that he made considerable money years ago in California where, he says, he has valuable gold mine claims.

DAVIS MAKES THEM SMILE.
Offers Amendment to Include Boston
 Baked Beans on Free List.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Senator Jef1 Davis of Arkansas caused the dig nified Senate to so far forget itself as to applaud loudly when he of- fered an amendment to the free list putting Boston baked beans, string beans, parched, raw or cooked, or any other kind of beans; also cod fish, fumigated or unfumigated, raw or cooked, skinned or unskinned served in balls or otherwise, on the free list.
 This was done as a retort to Sen ator Lodge of Massachusetts, who tried to put the Southern senators in a hole by offering an amendment putting rice of all kinds on the free list.
 Davis amendment passed, and Lodges was defeated, and now the Arkansas man is wondering wheth- CT he can keep his amendment on when the bill goes to conference.
 Even Senator Heybnrn was forced to smile at Senator Davis when his amendment was offered.

V MAY HAVE TO SUE FOR TAX.
Sheriff Refuses to Pay Tcxarkana
 Money Provided by Simms Law.

Texarkana, A3g. 3.-It developed today that Texarkana will not get without lawsuit it's share of the road tax as provided in the Simms law, passed al the last session of the legislature, giving to the city government of Texarkana 60 per cent of the road tax collected with in the corporate limits.
 Sheriff Sanderson this afternoon notified Mayor Kline and other city officials that he would not pay over the money to the city for the req son that County Judge Kimball had directed him not to, but to pay 1t into the county treasury, as pro- vided by the law in force prior to the enactment of the Simms law. The action of tii5 county judge is said to be due to the belief of sey- eral county officials that the Simms law is unconstitutional.
 It is stated that the city authori- ties will immediately bring man. damus proceedings to, compel the sheriff to pay the money to the city. The amount involved is approxi- mateIy $5,500, or more than one- third of the entire tax collected in the county for road purposes.

save all the wood ashes, to be used later as fertilizer. When planting an orchard be sure and cut off all broken and bruised roots, as we'll as those that have rough, knotty places on them, and the top should be cut back at least one half. That is, every branch cut back half on apple and peach. Cherries are not usually cut back very much, if any.
 For d commercial orchard I would suggest such apples and Stayman Winesap, King David, Black Ben, Grimes Golden, and would use two kinds in any sized orchard for better polenization. Would advise against using peaches as filler in an apple orchard. You should use apple, cherry or pear. Better to use all apple.
 In selecting location for y0ur orchard be sure and select well drained tracts, and blew or stir the soil good and deep. Prepare It faliy as good as yoa Aoulj grain crrp, and always plant budded or whole root graft stock. While more cx- pensive at time of planting they arc the only tree to plant for success. And do not allow yourself to be led into the belief that piece root trees are just as good, for they are cheap, worthless stock. The life of a tree rests in the natural crown of the seeding, which, when once de- |stroyed, cannot be brought back. Hence, but one good tree can be grown from one whole root.
 The subjects of fertilizing, spray ing, etc., can be discussed later.
 In conclusion, I will say to those intending to plant strawberries plow your ground deep, turning un- der a good covering of stable man. ure. If you haven't that, use ground bone and dig it in the soil with a fork or harrow, just so it is mixed in the soil, and at the beginning of winter mulch with hay or straw and let it remain until after the crop is taken off. It protects the roots from the hot sun, and also protects the berries from getting full of sand and dirt and will hold the grass and weeds back.
