Today the possibilities of several
other leagues whose races seem to De
drawing to definite status VIII be dis-
cussed, merely as a means of throwing
some light on which teams should win
championships, provided they go along
at the pace which they have been trav-
cling to attain their present high stand
ings
Probably no race which is now in the
straightaway stage is SO warm as that
which is rapidly drawing to a close in
the Southern Clerks Duckpin League.
The Law and Managers have been rae
ing neck and neck for two weeks and
have exchanged places as leaders and
runner-up several times during that
period.
With a record of thirty-six games won
and eighteen lost, the Managers should
have no difficulty getting the bunting.
They have six games yet to play with
the Freight outfit, three of them being
postponed and three beng on the final
weeks schedule. Law and Auditors also
have a set before their work for the
lawyers be successful in all three games.
the Managers must take at leas. five
out of six to even tie up the race.
Some enviable individual records are
reported as a result of the year of ac-
uy.tieS down the alleys by the Southern
Clerks League. Fegan, Of the Man
ayers, is leading the league with an
average of 97.9 and is closely followed
by Purdy. of the Mechanical outfit
Coed, of the Law team, and Towles, of
the Mechan.cals,> are tied for high
game, each having contributed scores Of
l36. set of 374 gives Fegan a record
for high score IN three consecutive
games, while Coe has recorded the
greatest number of strikes. the number
being nineteen A triple tie exists in
the matter of recording the most spares.

by Coe, while the lowest game con-

is one of 81, rolled by Everhart.

FLOATING MINES AT SEA

The memorandum presented to Secretary Bryan by the British Charge d'Affaires at Washington ac. cusing Germany of planting contact mines in the North Sea and in the open sea, without regard for conse- quences to merchantmen" announces that the British admiralty hold them selves fully at liberty to adopt sim liar measures in self-defense. But both Germany and Great Britain en- gagged at The Hague conference of 1907 to plant no floating mines in time of war unless constructed in such a way as to become inoffensive within, at most, one hour after the party which places them has lost control over them"
 It is to be hoped that Germany has respected this convention. The loss of the British cruiser Amphion in the English Channel followed hard up- on the sinking of German mine planter. Perhaps the destroying mine would soon have become inoffensive But the mines that broke loose from their moorings in the Russo-Japan- csc war did a good deal of damage. No ship owner of a neutral country would send his vessel into waters in which mines might be floating, rely. ing on their becoming automatically harmless. In the interests of neu. trality the law of nations should for bid unequivocally the laying or float ing of contact mines in waters tra versed by merchantmen.-Ex.

 youth; Cardinal Gotti's father was stevedore, while the parents of Plus K were peasants.
 As soon as Pope brathes his last the Cardinal Chamberlain takes pos session of the Apostolic palace. He proceeds to the death chamber, as- sures himself of, and instructs mo- tary to certify to, the fact that the Pope is really dead. Then the ring of the Fisherman is broken and the seal destroyed. The body is embalm- ed and carried in procession to the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in the Vatican basilica, where it remains for three days, the feet protruding a little through an opening in the iron railing which incloses the chapel, that the faithful may approach and kiss the embroidered slipper. The nine days of funeral services are gone through with. During the last three days the services are performed about an elevated and magnificent cata' falque. On each of these days five Cardinals in turn give the absolu- tion, and on the ninth day a funeral oration is pronounced. The body is reverently put into cypress wood coffin. This is put into leaden case, properly inscribed, and then all is placed in a wooden box GOV

cred with a red pail, and in this con- dition it is carried to the last resting place, previously selected by the de- ceased.
 On the tenth day the Cardinals as- semble in the forenoon, and the prep arations are made for the Conclave. All the persons who are to remain in the Conclave-as prelates, custodians, attendants on the Cardinals, physi- clans, barbers, masons-are passed in review and take an oath not to speak even among themselves of matters concerning the election. Every ave nue leading to the Conclave, except the eight loopholes, is walled up by the masons; but one door is left so that it may be opened by the late coming cardinals or to let out any. one who may be expelled, or who for any good reason may be obliged to go out. One who leaves cannot return. This only door has a combi' nation lock, to be opened by the key of the Prince Marshal outside and of the Cardinal Chamberlain inside
 The food for the cardinals is in. troduced by turn, so well known in convents of cloistered communi- ties.
 The next day, after the Mass of the Holy Ghost, the balloting begins, and continues until some one receives the necessary two-thirds. The bal lots are cast into a chalice on the altar.
