American to be Appointed Cardinal

It is declared upon what 10 said to be
high suthority that within short time
another American cardinal will share
honors with Cardinal Gibbon of Balti-
more.
The declaration is supplemented by
the statement that this is the result of
the action of the Catholic suffragan
bishops, who in selection of name of
a candidate to succeed the late Arch
bishop Ryan. overlooked the name Of
the Right Rev. Thomas F. Kennedy,
head of the American college at Rome,
endorsing the Right Rev. Edmund F.
Prendergast, of Philadelphia.
1t is asserted that the suffragan
bishops had been informed that the pope
would be pleased if they could recon-
mend the name of Bishop Kennedy as
the successor of Archbishop Ryan.
This hint, it is declared, came from
Cardinal Gibbons.
Precedent declares that the pope shall
appoint Bishop Prendergart, as prece-
dent says the pope shall appoint man
from the three names selected by the
suffragan bishops.
According to the highest church au-
thority, which cannot be openly quoted,
the pope now is preparing to make Mon
signor Kennedy the second American
cardinal in a short time.
Monsignor Kennedy was born in
Conshohocken, Pa, March %, 1858, and
vas educated at St. Matthews school of
that place, fremont academy, the
Theological Seminary of st. Charles
Borromeo and the American college in
Rome.
He was ordained July 25, 1887, and

The 'knocker" is person we can
all well spare. He ir known in every
town and community. That Texiine,
Texas has had its experience with him
may be inferred by the following edi-
torial by Thomas Daniel. editor and
publisher of the Texline Herald, in .
recent issue of that paper in which he
hits the knocker in almost every form
and on his most vulnerable spots:

appearing in the form of most every

ever since. When he can't find any
thing else to knock on, he growls about
his wife's cooking and eases himself by
telling the children what good for-no-

He knocks on the schools where in

just when he imagines he ought to.
He knocks on one neighbor because he
is successful and on another because
he is unfortunate. He knocks on his
town constantly and keeps chunk of
encouragement handy to throw at
every public enterprise that comes
along.
He contributes nothing to the public
welfare. yet is everlastingly nursing
sore spot against the world because
he feels that he has not been treated
properly. He knocks at the local pa

Chicago Tribune, but roars long and
loud when he is asked to pay up his
subscription. Knocking is like small

likely to be guilty of the offence oc-

kick himself every time he errs in this
way. Don't heed the knocker! Turn a

They have the material on the
ground and are working on the five
switch tracks at the east end of the
yards.
They are also erecting standpipe
for trains taking coal to take water at
the same time without pulling up to
the depot. Another standpipe is being
erected by the side of the water tank
for passenger trains to take water that
do not stop for coal. The new coal
chutes will be erected while the me-
chanics are here putting in the stand

These improvements will be a great
help to Julesburg in many ways, and if
the company will only put in new

Claims Right to Throne of France

A. A. Titus, said to be northwest

is about to make move into the king
row. Information which Mr.. Titus,
his brothers and father claim to have
in their possession, seems to indicate
that he is the rightful claimant to the
throne of France.
Mr.. Titus is descendant of Marie
Antoinette's third son, known as the
Dauphin, who was born to the queen
in 1875. and was recognized by England
and Russia as the rightful heir y the
throne, after the decapitation of Louis
XIV. Jan. 81 1893. But in 1895 after
the Dauphin had been imprisoned two
years, he was reported to have died.
Instead he was sent to Canada.
The claim has since been set up, and
much evidence is said to warrant it,
that the boy king, then only 10 years
old was smuggled out of the country
to the province of Quebec. There, to
make his identity more secret, he was
given in charge OF tribe of Indians,
whose chief he later became under the
assumed name of Eleazer/ Williams.
His wife is said to be the famous Eu-
nice Williams of pioneer days.
The claimant to the throne of France
asserts that his grandmother, also
named Eunice Williams, was a grand
daughter of Eunice and Eleazer Will

Five Tunnels Now Pierce the Alps

Bern. Switzerland. April 3.-The
boring Of the $l2, ,OoO. 900 tunnel through
the Alps under the Lotschberg. in the
Swiss canton Of Oberland. finished last
week. 10 . work which will shorten the
railway journey from Italy to London
from two to three hours.
The tunnel is nearly nine and quar-
ter miles long. The French contractors
who undertook the work have been four
years and half in digging the big hole.
The tunnel will eventually connect Bern
with the Simplon tunnel.
The Lotschberg tunnel is the fifth
to pierce the Alps. 1t is not quite 20
long as the st. Gothard, which il nine
and quarter miles long. while the Sim
plon is twelve and a half miles long.
At its highest point the new tunnel is
about 1000 feet above sea level. The
gradient is seven in 1000. The bore is
twenty-seven feet wide and ninteen and
one half feet high. Itis double tracked.
The new tunnel is really q connecting
branch vf the Simplon and makes almost
= straight line from Calais to northern
Italy, eliminating the long detour which
now has to be made to reach the Sim
plon. The new line will run between
Bern and the Simplon 8 portal at Brigue.
1t will shorten the time from London to
Milan by five hours.
On account of improved methods of
construction the enterprise Of piercing
the Alps consumed much less time than
did the others. Actual work was not
begun until the latter part of 1906 and
work has proceeded at the rate of fifty
feet day. American drills helped
some. Recently over 5000 men have
been engaged in rushing it to completion
and the ends met under the mountain
much sooner than was expected when
work was begun.
The tunnel has cost fifty lives and
several hundred workmen have been in
jured. The approaches to the tunnel

agreements were made at meeting
held by President Lowell and himself
at Cambridge last week.
BY these arrangements Harvard is
to send Professor Albert Bushnell Hart

Spring term he will give instruction

perity on every hand, a great district
like this cannot, nor will it be over-
looked. But on the other hand the
Giroux Consolidated will be taking
out the ore from the Alpha orebody
early next month, and then watch
the boom start in this district once
more.
We look for an early recurrence
of good times this spring, and in
passing ii must be stated that there
have not been any hard times in the
district. Ask the merchants and the
business men. They are the barom-
eters of the financial times, and they
all agree that it has In all been a
most prosperous year.
The News has the utmost conf
dence in the future of the district
and intends to stand by it and its
people. The promises are most bright
on all hands. With the opening up
of the ore in the Giroux there must
follow the building of a smelter
here in the district. The project
teens with the greatest promise,
with the bringing of more money
into the district, more people and
more enterprises.
The News advises staying with
the district. 1t thanks the people for
the support they have given the pa
per and wishes everybody a happy
and prosperous new year.

of its fervent boosters. Everybody
in McGill, and nearly everybody in
Ely knows the genial newspaperman
and more than one has felt the deli
cate touch of his pen.
He has a style peculiarly his own,
and when he gets hold of the elusive
item he knows what to do with ii.
There is a vein of sarcasm in his
makeup; but it is the humorous
touch which is rampant in his sys-
tenn. The sarcasm was wont to
break out in politicaI issues, but in
poking good-natured fun he is mas
ter of the art, and even the fellow
who gets the poke finds it too good
to resent. We will all miss him, and

to express its best wishes TO him and
to bid him the best of good luck
wherever his lot may fall.
