THEIR SINGING HARD LABOR
People Of Star island, Says Celia
Thaxter, Grind Out Sounds With
Tremendous Exertlon.

Among people Of average musical
ability there is less singing than there
used to be. Nearly everybody enjoys
singing, and there was a time when
nearly everybody was expected, On oc-
~casion, to sing. But from different
causes-a more exacting standard, the
rivalry of the monograph, and other
,reasons-amateur singers are fewer
than they we're. 1t is a matter for re.
greet from one point of view. and from
another for rejoicing.
In a recently published letter. Celia
::Thaxter tells how some OF the Star
Island folks, during her long residence
at the Isles of Shoals. used to sing.
Their singing" she declared. was
truly astonishing. indeed. l might say.
.%excruciating. They go at it precisely
as If they were saving wood, and
grind out the sounds with such exer.
.tion that their faces become crimson
and the perspiration stands In beads
ON their foreheads."-Youth's Compan.

ANOTHER coNslsroRv TO be
HELD IN SPRING, SAWS SEMI.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
lTALIANs mAyLosE THEIR W
4 Pope Pins Plans to Appoint Enough
New Foreign CARDINAL. to Per.
petuate His Policies In
His Successor.

Rome. Dec. 27.-Pope Plus has de-
cided to hold another consistory in
The spring. according to a semi-of1cial
announcement at the Vatican. Sever
Al new cardinals will be created and It
appears certain that the control Of the
sacred college will be taken away
from the Italians.
The announcement caused great sur.
prise In clerical circles. It was be-
;6eved Pope Plus created so many
cardinals at the recent consistory be-
cause he believed 1t was his last.
The decision of the pontif indicates
that he has decided to add enough pro-
sressive prelates to the sacred college
TO insure q successor to the throne of
Rome who will carry out the policies
he has Endorsed.
It 10 believed that four cardinals
will be created, three of whom will be
foreigners. Monsignor Bello. patriarch
Of Lisbon, whom Portugal has decided
TO prosecute on a charge of conspiriny
against the state, is believed to have
been the cardinal named secretly at
last consistory. II conditions in Por-
tugal are improved, public announce
ment of his elevation to the sacred
college will be made at the consistory
in the spring.
Archbishop Won Wettering Of Ut
recht, Holland. where the church has
made. remarkable strides in the last
few years, is almost sure to be given
the red hat. Father Ehrle. pontifical
librarian. is also likely to be chosen.
His elevation would fill out the quota
of the cardinals to which Germany 10
entitled. Another Austrian bishop is
also being considered.
Should any of the Italians be elevat-
ed, It is believed the honor would fall
upon Monsinger Giustini. secretary Of
the congregation Of the sacraments, or
Archbishop Della Chiesa of Bologna.
the chief supporter of Cardinal Ram
polla In his candidacy for the papacy.
Particular importance attaches to
the fact that even II only one more
foreigner receives membership in the
sacred college and no more Italians
are elevated the power of the Italians
will be broken.

OPPOSE GIFTS :'' TO OFFICIALS
RAILWAY MEN OBJECT TO RE-
cElviNo FAvoRs.
AZ Result. Of Crusade Begun Some
Time Ago. Practice Is
..Lessened.:

Chicago, Dec. 27.-As a result of q
crusade begun some time ago. against
the practice of certain railway supply
concerns of giving expensive Christ
mas gifts to officials of railroads. who
are In a position to influence tho
granting of contracts for supplies, q
marked diminution in the distribution
of these presents has been noted this
year.
According to information obtained
from officials of a number Of leading
rail lines centering In Chicago. the
protests voiced against this perniaious
system. resulted in many supply con-
Germs eliminating the policy entirely.
Others distributed only Christmas
cards or other comparatively inexpen-
sive tokens.
According to the purchasing agent
Of n railroad. the men who are most
widely known. for making gifts during
the holidays. are those who bear the
reputation. either justly or unjustly.
of influencing purchases by improper
means. To a rejecting purchasing
agent, he points out, the receipt Of
an expensive gift naturally leads to
the inference that the price Of the
present inevitably be charged to the
expense OF the firm doing business.
and in the end the railroad must pay
for ito
"The distribution of Christma1
cards, or other inexpensive gifts ID
not Objectionable, but I think the Civ.
ing OF expensive u%presents by supply
dealers to railroad officials ought to
be vigorously opposed" said W. l.
Ross. vice president Of the Chicago
& Alton railroad.
