Argentina Students Easily Remove the
Mayor, but Encounter Trouble
When Blue Coats Arrive.

ROSARIO, Argentina, Feb: "a
band of university students took foreiDle
possession of the municipal building a IeW
days ago and dictated a decree taxing
over the city government with q view,
they said. to settling the strike of NUM-
cipal employees and other workers, from
which the city had been suffering for sew
eral weeks. At that stage they were ar
rested.
The students o~verpowered the Janltof
and the night Waterman, the only persons
in the building at the time, and locked
them in a room. Then, after hosting the
~watchman'S red coat and cap on the nag
pole, they broke into the mayors Office
and proceeded to dictate their decree. In
the decree they removed the mayor as
useless and named one of their own
number TO fill the vacancy" They also
dissolved the city council and replaced
it with q council of students and work
men, They were on the point of remov.
ing also the chief-of- police, but this part
of their decree was never finished.
The %janitor had escaped and notlheo
the chief-of-police, who sent a detachment
of mounted police to the building and the
student government suddenly found Itseii
faced with revOlverS. 1t submitted TO ar.
rest without resistance and was locked up
While the authorities professed to view
the incident as a students prank, never
theless, a strong guard has now been
laced about the municipal building.

June 80, a. C.. The DR.. purposes remov-

cultural pursuits for his own account,
and be better situated to place his grow

portunities open to them on the CONT

island more than ten years ago TO assume
charge of the Government Experiment
station then just established, and has
resided here in that connection ever
since. During this time he has won the
goodwill of the people of this island, and
proved himself a most able man tor the
position to which he was appointed, dis
charging the duties thereof with a never
firing zeal and energy. A graduate OF
English and German universities, Dr.Long-
field Smith is one of the most educated
men we have on the island, a man not alone

St. Croix agency for the Ford Co. after
his departure from the island, the man

only good wishes for DR.. Smith and trust
that success and good fortune will attend

thing" correspondence that has arisen
out Of a letter that showed one "Enquir-
err" to be ignorant of the ordinary mean
ings of the word ''pontiff" and ''pontif
cal'. | am certainly under no obligation
to furnish any one with information that
may readily be obtained by consulting a
dictionary, particularly when it is evident
that the enquirer is quite sure that he
already knows the answer.
Enquirer" has now himself given a
pain answer" to his query, and given
it with an assumption Of infallibility that
would suggest that the ''Pontiff" in the
sense in which he uses the world now
resident in St. Croix and to be identified
with Enquirer" himself
The truth is that the words 'pontiff"
and ''pontifical' have other meanings
besides the specific ones that, it appears,
Enquirer" and AN Amused On, Look
err" regard as their only meaning. This
was discovered by Another Enquirer,
but, he may however, be assured that
whatever bridge building my bridge
builder" may have taken in hand, it is
certainly not the PoNS ASinorWnp, partic-
ularly in the absence of Another En-
quirer" himself or in the lack of assist
apce from him.
A standard dictionary--Webste S New
International Dictionary may consult
ed-without any or "some difficulty
at the Public Library. This dictionary
gives as a meaning of "pontiff"-'a
bishop; and Of "pontifical'- "Episco-
pal'. Where then is the incongruity Of
any church Tor member thereby claiming
to be Episcopal using the term "pontifi,
cal' with reference to its bishops =? Fur
Their, the same dictionary assures US hat
even in that church whose earthly Head
is known as the Sovereign Pontiff, the
term ''Pontifcal Mass" means "a Mass
celebrated by a Bishop (tte italics are
mine). And this is precisely the mean
ing vii which the phrase is constantly
used in the Anglican Communion
The latter part of "Enquirer's' second
letter shows t lat he is so utterly out of
his depth that it is useless to deal with
it beyond asking a question.
If Enquirer has erred over such a
simple word as "pontifical' and there
fore also with respect to his inference
therefrom, is there not a strong presump-
ton in favour Of the conclusion that he
will have Numbered still more badly oven
the more difficult ecclesiastical termino-
logy he now employs and in the %conclu-
sion at which he has arrived?

ers-provided that they are not merely
captious questions accept a standing
invitation to come to my home at any
