WILLES TBE TUDA?
A French Story of Leo's Bequeath
lng the Papacy to Rampolla.
Writing in the Journal, M. de Bon
nefon tells ns that a short time ago
Cardinal Eampoila prevailed upon the
Pope to abdicate in his favor, and a
conclave would have been summoned
which, voting under the pressure of
papal infallibility, would have ratified
the choice by an electric pro form
The secret of the intrigue came out in
this way : The Vatican possesses tw
printing works. One takes up 'the
whole of the Sixtus V. gallery and all
sorts of documents intended for ?u
lication are printed here. The othe
ls in a secluded building into which
nobody is allowed without written
leave of the Pope's major-domo. The
men employed there are the safest in
the world. They are all tried Catho?
lics, and every year they #ive an oath
not to be&ray the. secret of documents
intrusted to them.
A few weeks ago a high prelate,
one of the State secretaries of the
Vatican, brought a sealed .envelope to
the confidential printing shop, and
said the contents must be set np at
*>nce. The men, who had other work
'to do, sent around for two of the most
reliable men from the other works.
These assistants were not upon their
-oath. The "copy" set np by them
was so amazing that one of them, who
owed his position to a Cardinal now
in disgrace, went and told him. The ?
v story may be summed np briefly:
The procedure for. the election, of a
is made np of traditions, written
tw and compromises. Besides this
?y Pope gives directions in his will
-which affect more or less the proc?dure
of his successor's election.
The document referred to above was
nothing less than the seventh ponti?
fical will of Leo ZIEL It was a new
departure, indeed in all papal tradi?
tions. Leo XIII, was no longer con?
tented with "bequeathing" his office
tc Cardinal Rampolla, as he tried to
do last year. (The scheme was made
public too soon and miscarried, doc?
tors in canon law having shown that
such a bequest was null and void. )
'This time the document, written out
entirely in Cardinal Rsrcpolia's hand
and signed by the Pope, was simply a
deed of conveyance of the tiara to the
ambitions Cardinal. Tho Pope, after
notifying his abdication (:tn which he
was, within his right)r set forth that
his policy ought not to be interrupted
by his death. The Pope, addressing
each cardinal by letter, and after re?
ferring to the interest of the church
and the infallibility of the Pope, en?
treats him not to oppose his choice
of a successor, the only man who
knows all the secrets of the present
papal policy. Now that this scheme
is known, it will come to nothing,
but & de Bonneion feels sure that
the fertile brain of Cardinal Rampolla
will devise some new combination.

' '""The people of Appomattox county
will no doubt hold as sacred for all
time to come the fact that Lee's army
surrendered there," said a gentleman
.from the Old Dominion the other day.
"They show it in many ways among
themselves, and in ?ot a few ways to
the. world generally. For instance,
. since the days of reconstruction they
never have failed to elec; an old Con?
federate soldier as their representative
in the House of Delegates Of .conn %
there have been many old Confederate
soldiers in politics in Virginia, just as
there have been in ether Southern
States. But in recent years a great
majority of them have retired from
public life. . The people of Appomat?
tox, however, still continue to send a
Confederate veteran to Richmond with
each meeting of the Legislature there,
and no doubt will do so as longeas
they can find a creditable representa?
tive from among the fast thinning
ranks.' When I first Isaw'the gentle?
man from Appomattox' upon the floor
of the House calling the" attention of
the president, I noticed that an empty
sleeve dangled at his side. I could not
help being specially strack with his
appearance, coming as !\e did from
famous Appomattox, ana I spoke of
it to another grizzled veteran seated
near.
'1 * Appomattox always sends crippled
soldiers,' he answered, with a sigh.
"Later, I learned that the county
has had eight or ten delegates since
reconstruction days, and, with pos?
sibly one or two exceptions, all were
-crippled."
The People's Warehouse is still
handling a great deal of tobacco. Up to
the apresen t the management has sold
over three quarters of a million
pounds, and on last Saturday it had
the remarkable experience of handling
tobacco that had started to Timmons
ville. The owners of the tobacco
preceded their seven wagons and when
they reached the Timmonsville market
they learned'that Manning was paying
much better prices, they turned back
and met their wagons, turned them
Manningwards with fine results. Mr.
D. C. Plowden one of the party sold
1428 pounds, and he receive an aver?
age of 24 cents psr pound. The
prices range from 12^ to 50 cents.
Manning Times.
This New Jersey verdict of over
$12,000 damages in favor of a man who
was injured in a runaway caused by
his horse being scared by an automobile
will let the rich "scorchers" under?
stand what is in store for them. The
injured man showed that his time
was exceedingly valuable. The man
who was responsible for the reckless
movement of the automobile was a
rich banker and the verdict seems to
have followed as a matter of course.

An Old Brown Cedar.
Charles E. Bessey of the University
of Nebraska writes to Science of a
cedar which he claims to be over
1,000 years old, as follows : ' * In the
Garden of the Gods, near Pike's Peak,
Colorado, there are many large speci?
mens of the brown cedar, Juni perns
, monosperma (Engelm), Sargent, and
in a recent visit to that place it oc?
curred to the writer that these trees
must be very old. On the 13th of
August he was fortunate enough to
find the stump of a recently cut tree,
on which it was easy to distinguish
the annual growth-rings. These were
counted for a section of the trunk,
care being taken to select a portion in
which the rings were of alverage thick?
ness, and on this basis the number
for the whole stump was calculated.
In this way it was found that this
particular tree was between eight hun?
dred and one thousand years old. In
other words, this tree was a seedling
some time between the years 900 and
1100 A. LV'
