ROME, May 26.-The secret con sistory was held yesterday at the Vatican and the three American princes of the church, Cardinal Gib- bons, Cardinal Farley and Cardinal O'Connell were in attendance. The consistory was to have been held Easter week but Pope Plus postpon- ed it until yesterday because of the inability of the three American car dinals to attend at that time. The postponement caused considerable comment because of the large num- Der of vacancies in the Sacred Col lege and the necessity for the imme- diate appointment of sixteen new car dinals.
 Pope Plus yesterday named thir- teen new cardinals, all from European countries. It is expected that one more American will receive the red hat at this time.

FREE EMPLOYMENT OFFICE.

The venture of the men of Every mans Clubhouse in establishing free employment bureau is in every way commendable. Perhaps ill less degree than in other towns of Alaska Valde2 suffers from too great a number of lobless men anxious for work, yet ev- en here there are at all times many unemployed. In this vicinity are many mining companies and employ CTS of every kind of labor. often men are wanted on very short notice. Householders frequently have odd jobs for men. If the unemployed of this community will register their names with the Everyman's Club house Free Labor Bureau then those in need of miners, loggers, carpenters, fishermen, cooks, wood- choppers and general laborers can get into immediate touch with the men they want without trouble and free of all cost. This institution will un- doubtedly be of great benefit to many men.

FIGHTING JOE FOLK IN ACTION.

Joseph Wingate Folk, former gov ernor of Missouri, and now counsel for the Interstate Commerce Com mission, is doing the country in gen. eral and the stockholders of the New Haven system in particular dis tinct public service by his insistence that Charles s. Mellen, George F. Baker and William Rockefeller take the witness stand in the investlga- tion and tell what they know about the footing of one of the great rall- road systems of the country.
 Attorney General McReynolds is reported to have been in favor of dropping further inquiry, but Mr. Folk, with some of the spirit he show ed when he sent number of leading politicians and high financiers to Jall in Missouri for corrupt practices, has demanded that the three men who know the facts about this gigantic footing be compelled to go on the stand and submit to examination by the federal officials.
 The investigation has developed the fact that $8,O0O,0O0 of the New Ha- ven's money disappeared" in one deal; that $3O,OOO,00O were lost in the Rhode Island trolley absorption; that a broker named Billiard was al lowed to make $3,OO0,000 by buying stock from the company at one price and turning it back at higher, with out using a dollar of actual money; that $6O,OOO,00O in dividends were paid out in ten years without being earned and that the money was bor- rowed in ways to make the public believe it had geen earned; that vast sums of money belonging to the stockholders were used in the cor ruption of Massachusetts, Rhode Is land and Connecticut politics, and , that the inside records of these trans actions had been burned by Okleigh Thorne and Billiard, who had acted as agents in the dealings between the railroad company and the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co.
 Most of this testimony has been ogtained from agents, dummies and brokers acting for the principals. J. P. Morgan is dead, but George F. Baker, Charles s. Mellen and Wil- liam Rockefeller are still alive. MT. Baker and MT. Rockefeller are still directors in the road and Mi. Mellen has declared that he is tired of be- ing made the scapegoat. Mr. Folk wants the facts and refuses to be satisfied with the testimony of hired agents and dummies and office boys parading as treasurers and directors of gigantic corporations. He is de- termined to get the truth and from responsible parties. He is to be com mended for his. course, as no other recent financial orgy compares with Mellen's orgy, which broke New Ha- ven's back by trying to create a senseless monopoly. These scandals have done the cause of other and well managed railroads a vast amount o1 harm by arousing antagonisms ant suspicious and antagonistic measures Some defnite and distinct individnali were responsible for what the New Haven did. The Interstate Com merce Commission can undertake nt better inquiry tn. n to ascertain who they were. what they profted by fl and then suggest a punishment com mensurate with the offense.-Ex.

Marble Windows.

Remarkably beautiful effects are Sc
cured by the use Of marble as q
means of transmitting light instead Of
glass. This has been accomplished
by . new process which mas been de-
vised by an engineer Of Hamburg, w.
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates OF marble no more than three
millimeters in thickness and for the
use designated 1t is available up to
20 millimeters thick. The suitability
of marble for this purpose was real
lied some time ago. but the difficulty
encountered was that Of securing the
marble in slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit Of the passage Of
a greater amount of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time inn
parts to the rays a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has reddish violet which
IL much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness 1t is subjected to an INNER
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured In this manner are
said the superior to those of stained
glass.
