The story is intended to scare nervous people back to breakfast break-fast food. 4 Loth Ilcinze of Butte and Lawson of Boston put up immense wagers to go to the widows and children of deceased miners in the event that one does not prove the other to be a liar, leaving out all question that both may be liars. What is it somebody some-body said about evil being diverted to good? Thursday was the birthday of the Mikado. Wherefore every oracie of Shontoism in Japan predicted, pre-dicted, and every seventh son of a seventh son employed em-ployed on the pro-Japanese papers in Salt Lake ' reiterated lhe same prediction, to-wit, that on that day Port Arthur would fall and break its leg. When asked by the registration officers to give ! their exact age, the women of Cincinnati entitled to vote for school officers replied, "21 plus." The v.onien argued that under a court decision, "21 : plus"' was sufficient answer, but the secretary of : the board decided otherwise. That Ohio registrar ; could never run for office in Utah. . ; . ; The attorney general of the United States is ; appealed to for an opinion as to whether the Yale i Filipino student, J. E. Lagdanio, is an alien or a t-itizen of the United States. I lis application to register was refused at Xcw Haven the other day. Those who studied and practiced law before our I J war with Spain are obliged to learn it all over I ' again to keep in touch with recent court decisions. A body blow is given the life insurance business : if Prof. Eli Metchinikoff of the Pasteur institute I l' of Paris Turns out to be a sure prophet, for he f claims to have discovered the elixir of life, and it is sour milk! Who now will pay assessments on ) life insura?iee policies when sour milk will keep hiin alive for a century and more? A microbe, , however, is linked with the proposition connected with the discovery, and there's the rub. If the old man can get the best of that microbe, sour milk will do the rest. : So long has it been since any mention was made of red hats for prospective American cardinals, 1hat a paragraph from Marquise de Lafayette anent the subject arouses anticipation. Only to be cast down, however, for the marquise says it is officially announced at the Vatican that no English speaking cardinals will be created at the forvheom-ing forvheom-ing papal consistories. The sacred college is only six short of its full number, and some seats therein are always left vacant. The pontifical major domo, Mgr.

Its many pages we meglected to count, but they present enough of the little types spread over them to span the distance from here across the Great American Desert, if placed side by side. The current number marks the thirty-two years of progress made in Catholic Buffalo as it does the years of the newspaper's existence. It is no vain boast of the management, albert it might excite envy, to put in plain English the fact that no, other printing plant under Catholic management manage-ment is so well equipped to turn out a paper like the. progress number of the Catholic Union and Times. . . . . " ; ; " I Possibly more than any other district in Colo- rado Leadville represents the permanent stage . of J ; the mining industry. The city has passed -through i I everything that crtains to the experience of a I , freat mining district. It counts booms, and hard- times, and labor . disturbances,, including fire, dynamiting and rioting, as old stories, and it looks with good Matured pity upon the, troubles of its younger brothers. If it were not for its altitude! Leadvillc would be a large city, and even the 10,200 feet above the sea level cannot prevent its business prosperity; and it steadfastly retains its rank as the fourth city of the state and boasts of- its preeminence pre-eminence as the highest city in the world.

Relations between the courts of Yicnna and of the quirinal have recently been still further ' strained by the incognito visit of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the Austrian heir apparent, and of his wife, the Princess Ilohenburg, to Home, where they were received in private audience by tlia pope, ' taking no notice whatsoever of the king and queen of Italy or of the Italian government. In view of the fact that Emperor Francis Joseph has never to this day returned the visits paid to the court of Vienna, first by the late King Yiefor Eninianu?l in 1870, and then by King Humbert and Queen Margherita in 1SS3, the action, of the Austrian heir apparent and his wife in going to Rome :nd ignoring the Italian court lias naturally given deep offense to the latter, where it is regarded as'a further illustration of th ill will with v.hich the future emperor of Austria-Hungary is notoriously imbued with regard to the reigning house of Savoy and the Italian government. |
