Electricians thought perhaps it might
be caused electrically. but a thorough
search revealed nothing to support this
theory. 1t is thought by the non-super-
stitious that there may be a subterranean
passage from the old castle of Fougeres

either caused by an thrush of wind or

TWO GERMAN CARDINALS
EXPECTED TO BE NAMED
Their Selection Presents a Difficult
Problem for the Vatican
to Solve.
BERLIN. March 10. 1914.


Candidates for cardinals to fill the two
vacancies left In the sacred college by
the deaths Of Cardinals Kopp and Fisher
are being discussed. At least two German
prelates are expected to receive the red
hat at the consistory this spring.
The apostolic nuncio at Munich. Mgr
DR.. A. Fruehwirth, is prominently mem
toned.
Prince Max Of Saxony. younger brother
of the King of Saxony, and now profess
sor in the Catholic Theological Seminary
at Cologne. was at first picked as prob
ability. But some have eliminated him,
recalling that he incurred the displeasure
Of the Pope several years ago by his
views on the Greek orthodox church, ex-
pressed in a published book.
One of the most likely candidates. &C
cording to reports from Rome, Is Bishop
korum of Treves. His name, however.
has been unfavorably received in govern
ment circles. with which he has been in
conflict often.
The selection of the right man is be-
lieved to be a real problem at the Vad-
can. The Pope it is said desires to ap,
point men who have not been identlned
with recent political struggles and VINO
are on good terms with the government.
The death of Cardinal Kopp deprives
the Catholic Church at once of Its high
est functionary and its strongest person
atty in Germany. Kopp played an Inn
portant part in restoring amicable rela-
tons between the Vatican and Prussia
after Bismarcks campaign against the
Catholic Church. In later years the en-
peror recognized his efforts to promote
good relations between Rome and Berlin
by calling him to the Prussian peerage
and comforting upon him the Order OF
the Black Eagle, the highest Prussian
order. 1t carries with it a patent of no.
bility and the right to use the coveted
won" before the holders name, of which,
however, the cardinal never made use
The emperor further made him member

school laws and intrusted him with other
important missions.

Proft-Sharing With Convicts.
m the Philadelphia inquirer

From the PhlIadeIphla inquirer
Texas has inaugurated new system
of profit-sharing with convicts which will
be watched with interest by other sec
tons of the country. The men have been
given revocable paroles by which they
leave the penitentiary without shackles
or guards and engage in construction
railroad work They are to receive $15
month"; half of which will go to the peni-
Tertiary fund and half to the mans per-
sonal account. The county in which the
convicts work will give them board and
lodging and they are to go their way
without guards or overseers Of any kind.
Profit-sharing with prisoners is not new.
and the parole system is by no means
novel, but this is the first time We be-
lieve. the two things have been COM
bined.
