Be ED|C7INE COLLEGE
TO GRANT DEGREES
BY THE HOLY FATHER.

BY a recent Motu Proprio the Holy
Father has granted to the Benedic-
tine College of st. Anselm on the
Aventine in Rome the privilege of
granting degrees in Philosophy,
Sacred Theology and Canon Law.
The Eternal City has long possessed
the Gregorian University, a Jesuit in
stitution that has given long list Of
saints, Popes, Cardinals and Bishops
to the Church. The Dominican Uni
versity is of later growth and was
founded by the present Pontiff, and
thus the Collegio Angelica will rank
after the College of ST. Anselm as the
present decree of the Holy Father
merely confirms privilege granted
orally to the Benedictines by Leo
XIII. The College of st. Anselm
was originally designed for students
from the various Benedictine congre-
cations but now it will throw open it's
doors to other ecclesiastical students
both regular and secular.

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Black Cardinal. BY Rev. John
Talbot Smith. Published by the
Champlain Press, New York. Price,
SIPS.
This romantic story takes for it's
main theme the fight which Elisabeth
Patterson, of Baltimore, made for her
rights as the lawful wife Of Jerome
Bonaparte, the youngest brother OF
Napoleon |. Miss Patterson was a
Baltimore girl who met Jerome Bona
parte while he was only lieutenant
in the French navy. His brother was
the First Consul of France at the time.
Elisabeth was married to Jerome by
Bishop Carroll, of Baltimore. Ma
poleon, knowing that he was about to
assume the imperial crown, forbade
his brothers to contract marriages out
side of royalty, but Jerome did not
heed the prohibition. In consequence
he was cut off from the imperial fam
lily, and his heirs were shut out of the
succession. For some months after
their marriage the young Prince and
his wife remained in America, enjoy
ing the adulation of society. Then
they sailed for Lisbon with the inten-
ton of appealing in person to Ma
poleon to recognize the marriage and
to give them a place at court; but
Napoleon would not permit Elisabeth
to set foot on French territory. There.
lIu0u Jerome wont aIODo RI moot his
brother, while Elisabeth took up her

divorced her, persuaded his brother
to assent to the divorce, married him
to the royal Princess Of Wurtemburg,
and took special pains to hinder Elisa
beth from ever seeing her husband
again. How Elisabeth brought his
plans to naught, secretly entered
France, secured friends, intrigued ably
to win her husband again to her side,
and slipped through all the traps
which Napoleon laid for her, are the
main features of this romantic story,
which has for its characters Napoleon
and the Empress Marie Louise, Pope
Plus VII. and his prime minister, Car
dinal Consalvi; Fouche, the dreaded
chief of police, and many minor per-
sonages.

Rumored Changes I'm National League
Not Denied.

New York. May 27.-Reports of q
big baseball deal, the seasons big
gest, were circulated here Tuesday.
BY It, it is declared, RUDE Marquard.
Fred Merkle and Eddie Grant of the
Giants will go to the st. Louis Car
dinals. The Cards will turn over Lee
Magee to the Giants and Pitchers D0ak
and Perritt to Boston. The Braves
will then hand over Hub Perdue to
New York and the three-cornered bar
gain will be complete.
According to the story, which the
New York Giants would not deny. de-
liverieS are to be made when the
western teams come east the first of
next month.
McGraw is said to be eager to get
action on tho plan quickly. st. Louis
will be in New York June and will
then deliver Magee in exchange for
Marquard. Merkle and Grant. When
st. Louis gets to Boston It b said
Higgins will turn over Doak and Per-
rift for Perdue. Hub then win be a
Cardinal for few hours, but will Inn
mediately be shipped on to McGraw.
Baseball bugs here believe the deal,
if 1t proves true, will mean that Mar
guard may jump to Federals. Rube's
wife. formerly Blossom 9eely. plays on
Broadway and he is likely to object
to leaving New York.

FORGOT TT WAS LOADED.
Boy Shoots Another While Playing
RObber.


Manhattan, Kan, May 27.-An
'unloaded' gun will cause the death
Of Johnny Baer. a 12-year-old boy,
living six miles east Of Riley. Johnny
and his brother went fishing Tuesday
afternoon and they met q neighbor
boy, Joe Davis, who was hunting
crows with a. shotgun. The boys
placed an empty shell in the gun and
played "robber." They took turns
about pointing and swapping the gun
at each other. The. boys became ex-
cited when a crow flew in sight and
slipped a loaded shell in the gun. But
the crow failed to get within gunshot
and the lads busted themselves with
something else, forgetting to unload
the gun. In short time the boys
resumed their robber game, Davis
picking up the gun and shooting John
ny square in the face. His nose, low
er Jaw. left ear and one eye are miss
ing.
