The ease with which this fund A ||%a8 been raised is highly complimentary - to the nation. *7^ A LARGE refrigerating plant is to be ^ erected in Manila. The building will " 250 feet sqnare and 45 feet high and be located on the bank of the Pasig ver. The cooling room will be large fnough to contain at one time 5,000 i- vf^ves, 7,500 sheep and 100 tons of salt " ;<neats, butter, eggs and vegetables j|nough to supply the American army in the Philippines for some time. jFhe |>lant will also produce 50 tons of ice jioaily and 6,000 gallons of distilled water. - By means of the railways the troops Can be supplied wit% fresh meat and \ Vegetables daily, and the hospital can ^: i: %e furnished with the best of food and ' $ven delicacies and plenty of pore water ••.and ice. • v ", AN exchange says: The manager of i}' 'jjt large manufacturing concern at Janes- < " Mile, Wisconsin, has discharged a lot of .girls for talking too much. In justifi- ., libation of his act, he said: "The average Janesville girl talks too much for her h r own good. The girls that I refer to are j of the working class. The girls I was f ^bliged to discharge would talk nothing |'%?|but gossip from the time they entered jthe factory till it was time to leave for 1 home. They just raked everybody over the coals. Such gossip not only hurts . our business, but in that way many a vJbad story starts that in the end ruins | f |imany an innocent person. I think every manager should dispense with the wer- of just this class of women." jhing i « large t-3% fc BIG COLLEGES NEED MONEY. In spite of the fact that more than $55,000,000 was donated to the' colleges land universities of the nation last year, nan unprecedented amount, the begin- of the new year finds three of the rgest institutions of the country ap­ pealing to the public for large amounts Required to meet their pressing needs. f^he trustees of the Northwestern uni-ersity at Evans ton, which stands third - timong the universities of the United ttates in the point of the total number f students in attendance, have issued fen address pointing out that that great titration needs $1,650,000 for new uildijpgs and to enlarge its corps of in- :• fi 'Btructors to keep pace with its rapid ; « growth. This is the first time in fifty ^SSfef^years that any such appeal has been Made in behalf of the Evanston univer- ^ , eity, and the response is expected to be h _C '*. liberal. At the same time the Uildver- { Jaity of Chicago is asking for an addition- ^ $315,000 which is needed within the J> ••'\-jnext ninety days to complete a fund of •> ,#2,000,000 which Mr. Rockefeller has - ^promised to double if it is raised within J'Hhe prescribed period. Yale university ^|aIso is planning to raise a fund of $2,000,- f000 among its alumni during the com- ' -••<" ;Wg year and shows that its needs also v tare as greats those of its younger and » ^western competitors. ^ * These instances show that the wants v ĵjof the wealthiest educational institu actions in the country are as great as v^those of the smaller ones, and that phil- " |,anthropic persons who are seeking for i opportunities to place their surplus • wealth where it will contribute per |manently to the good of mankind can . It to Pope. There are sixty-one members of the Sacred College, "When in 1878 .Leo XIII. was elected all but three of the Cardinals were present Only twenty- two of the Cardinals at the present time reside out of Italy, Cardinal Gibbons is one of these. Hitherto the papacy has been largely, as Dr. Dollinger called it, a "national Italian institu­ tion. " There has been no conclave when the Italian and non-Italian mem­ bers were so nearly equal. Last June the Pope created many new Cardinals, eight of whom were Italians and three non-Italians. Today there are thirty- five Italians, twenty-six non-Italians. Moreover, the Sacred College was never so preponderatingly Latin as to­ day. Of the eleven new Cardinals ten belong to the Latin speaking races. And of the whole sixty-one forty-nine are Latin. That is there are thirty-five Italian, seven French, one French-Bel­ gian, five Spanish, and one Portuguese. Of the Cardinals appointed by Pius IX. only four remain. One question to be decided is whether the next Pope shall be a "politician" or a "saint." A large number of the pres­ ent Cardinals have been politicians or diplomatists, representing the Papacy as Nuncios at the various European courts and American capitals. One of the most ambitious of the Cardinals is Bampolla, the wellknown Papal Secre­ tary. The fact that he is so well known will probably stand in the way of his ambition. He belongs to Sicilian no­ bility, is astute, forceful, of imposing personality, and is 56 years of age. There are five or six other Cardinals whom the knowing ones are said to re­ gard as "Popabiles," possible Popes. Ledochowski, Perfect of the Propaganda, the "Red Pope," the center of Roman Catholic missions, a kind of "Secretary of the Colonies," has distinction and power. But he is 77. Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, 65 years of age, inclines to be a Liberal, a man of the world, of elegant personality, and not a Jesuit. He has a brother who is also a Cardinal. Capocelatro, 76 years of age, author of 'Harmonies Between Religion and Civilization," would, it is said, favor better relations between church and state in Italy. But the "irreconcila- bles" will oppose him. One of the youngest of the Cardinals is Svampa of Bologna. He does not believe in the unity of Italy; he has predicted that Italy will take the form of federation, with the Pope as President. Oreglia, who has been Cardinal for twenty-six years, is now the Camerlengo, the position held by Cardinal Pecci when, at the death of Pius IX., he was made Pope as Leo XIII. But Cardinal Oreglia is a little older than even Leo himself, already over 90. Of late Cardinal Gotta hta been brought into prominence. It is stated that Leo XIII. has often said in pleas­ antry of him: ' 'Behold my successor." He is a Genoese by birth. His father was a dock porter. He used to be a bare­ foot monk of the Carmelite order and still lives in extreme simplicity. His humble birth is no obstacle to Ids pro­ motion. He was Nuncio to Brazil for several years and was made Cardinal in 1805, He is said to be more moderate and conciliatory than Rampolla. His chances are thought by some to be par­ ticularly good. Leo XIII. has set a high standard of personal'character, of world-wide phi­ lanthropy, of wisdom in administration, of singular sagacity in international affairs, and as an advocate of peace. He has on ^innumerable occasions ex­ pressed the highest respect and admi­ ration for the free institutions of the United States. The world will regret his departure as that of a man who used his greats powers unselfishly and, as he aaWitj solely for the good "of mankind. BIG F£E PAID.

Pullman, were allotted as compen­ sation for their services the sum $425,000. This is said to be the largest amount in fees ever allowed executors of any estate handled by the probate court here. The final accounting of the executors in the Pullman estate is expected to be made this week. It is said that the estate, which listed about $8,000,000 jrhen the will probated, will SLOW figure up to nearly $14,000,000. It has been demonstrated repeatedly in every state in the Union and in many foreign countries that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a certain preventive and cure for croup. It has become the universal remedy for that disease. M. V. Fisher of Liberty, W. Va., only repeats what has been said around the globe when he writes: "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my family for several years and always with perfect success. We believe that it is not only the best cough remedy, but that it is a sure"cure for croup. It has saved the liver of our children a number of times." This remedy is for sale by Miss Julia A.

K ' 4*The late John McCullougli. the tra­ gedian, was a great friend of mine." said Comedian Crane, "and when Sn this city used always to live at the Gllsey House. One day I went there to call on him and. be being out, left my card, upon which, un­ derneath my name, by way of a joke, I wrote In large letters the word 'Actor.' 'the next day I was passing McCullough on the street when he stopped me with 'Say.

McCullough was Inordinately fond of the game of seven up. and^one evening Jo had the satisfaction of beating him nine straight games. Bright and early the following morning I again left my card for him at his hotel, this time writ­ ing below my name 'Seven up player.' When I saw McCullough later In the day, I jollied him with 'That wasn't any lie i put on my card this morning. Was it, John?' And he evidently saw the point for he didn't reply to my ques­ tion."--New York Tribune. The Beat at the Bottom. Speaking of poison murders, .a native of Maine told of a peculiar crime that occurred in his state. This was the case of a man who had tired of bis wife, and in order to rid himself of her in the shortest and most expeditious manner possible he determined upon her death. Divorce, while a feasible method, appealed not to his frugal mind, since it Involved a large initia­ tory expense from counsel fees and a continuous one from alimony. 80 on murder he resolved, arsenic as the agent to effect it, and the method through which to introduce the poison into the stomach of his victim with­ out arousing her suspicious the usually Innocuous and popular lemonade.
