BALTIMORE, Oct. 4.—Special services were held in the Baltimore cathedral to- day in honor of the election of Plus X. Cardinal Gibbons preached the sermon at high mass. In the course of the sermon Cardinal Gibbons sald: The conclave which, has just taken place marks & new and impdrtant era in the annals of the American Catholic church. This is the first time In the history of the Christian reli- gion that the United States or any part of this Western hemisphere was ever assoclated with the other nations of Christendom in selecting a successor to the chalr of Peter. I be at all surprised if in the next concla Catholic church of the United States will be represented by several members of the Sacred College, 50 that the number of Cardinals from our country may be commensurate with the population, the grandeur and the commanding influence of the nation, and may be in keeping | also with the numerical strength of our hier- archy and laity and the splendor and progress of our religious and charitable institutions. Two ballots were cast each day in the con- clave, one in the forencon and another in the afternoon. The votes for Cardinal Sarto stead- 1ly increased from the first to the seventh bal- lot on which he was elected. When the Car- dinal observed that the suffrag for him wers augmenting he was visibiy' disturbed, and in o fervent speech he implored his col- leagues not to regard him as a candidate. Contrary to his wishes the votes for him in- creased. He then became alarmed, and in a second speech, in most pathetic language, he again besought the Cardinals to forget his name, as he could not accept a burden too heavy for him to bear. All were moved by the modesty and transparent sincerity of the man. When he resumed his seat his cheeks were suffused with blushes, tears were gush- | ing from his eyes and his body trembled with emotion. It was only after some of the lead- ing Cardinals entreated him to withdraw his opposition that he finally and reluctantly con- sented to abide by the will of God and ac- cept the sacrifice, Never did a prisoner make greater efforts to escape from his confinement than did Car- dinal Sarto to escape from the yoke of the Papacy. With his divine master he exclaimed: “Father, 1f it be possible let this chalice pass N from mie. ertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. When his election Was officlally announced bis florid countenance assumed a desthly pal- lor and restoratives were applied to save him from fainting. ———— s The habit of putting off things that hould be done at once frequently causes unending trouble and expense.

WINNIPEG, Man.,, Oct. 4.—It is now certain that Missionary McLaughlin of the Methodist Church, who left Huron River on September 7 with six Indian chil- dren, perished ,with the entire party. To- day word reaehed Selkirk that two bodies, one of an elderly Indian and another of an Indian boy, were found in Lake Win- nipeg, near Big Island, at a point where McLaughlin and party were supposed to be when the big storm occurred. It is supposed that the older Indian had been engaged by McLaughlin to assist {n navi- gating the sailboat in which they were coming up the lake. Rev. John Simmons, in charge of the Northern Missions for the Methodist Church, is now on the lake with a tug endeavoring to locate the body. of McLaughlin or to discover traces of his whereabouts. ————— INDIAN CHILD FALLS INTO BOILING SPRING Terrible Death of a Six-Year-Old Boy in Lassen County. REDDING, Oct. 4—A six-year-old In- dian boy, ,whoue ‘name has not been learned here, met an awful death last Thursday at Amadee, Lassen County. The little fellow was playing with a white boy of his own age about a hot water spring, when he slipped and fell into the boiling water. He managed to scramble out, and assisted by his playmate suc- ceeded after repeated delays, occasioned by the terrible agony of the burns, in reaching a nearby hotel. All possible was done for the boy, but death soon relleved his sufferings. Lo | ! CO0K BOOK OFFER TO CLOSE OCTOBER 30.

KEEPS SILENCE OF THE SPHINX D. 8. Richardson Ap- pears at Home With- out Explanation. D. 8. Richardson, superintendent of the San Francisco postoffice, whose name has been made prominent in connection with the indictment of ex-Superintendent of Special Delivery System James W. Er- win, returned to his home in Oakland; accompanied by his wife, last night. He refused absolutely to discuss in any man- ner the recent scandal in the San Fran- cisco postoffice or to attempt a vindica- tion of theimputation commonly made that his own name is deeply involved in the affair. He claimed to be under orders | from Washington prohibiting him from talking. After the indictment of Erwin it de- veloped that it was upon the testimony given by Richardson before the Federal Grand Jury of the District of Columbia that the charge was founded. He is president of the Postal Device and Im- provement Company, which, it was claimed, had been defrauding the Gov- ernment by charging exorbitant prices upon contracts secured through alleged conspiracies. Richardson had been introduced to the postal authorities by Erwin when he first attempted to float the scheme of the patent mail boxes and upon his testimony in this respect Erwin was indicted, Despite the fact that for three weeks after the indictment of Erwin was made public, Richardson could not be located, either in Washington or at any point west, he now strongly asserts that he was not in hiding, but merely visiting relatives of his wife's in Wisconsin. It is presumed that he will pass all the responsibility for the indictment of Erwin up to admissions made by Erwin to the special officers who were investigating the local postoffice in the spring. e Japanese Plantation Hands Strike. HONOLULU, Sept. 26.—A strike of 400 Japanese on Honolulu plantation took place yesterday, the men demanding an increase in their advance allowance from the plantation. They are employed on a profit-sharing basis, and the plantation has been advancing them $12 a month on the crops they raise. They demanded an advance of $20, and the demand was re- fused.

LS i By Says He Was Willing That Tammany Indorse Fusion Nominees. NEW YORK, Oct. 4—Comptroller Grout to-day issued a statement in regard to the assertion made yesterday by Mayor Low to the effect that Grout had once sug- gested to him the possibility that he might be offered a Tammany nomination, but that in that event he would continue to support Low. His suggestion, Low sald, he did not regard seriously. Grout says In part: I think that Mr. Low will recall another conversation with me about two weeks ago. I told him that the talk of an indorsement by Tammany seemed to be coming from various directions; that I had deemed it an Impossi- Dility, but that now it began to seem possibl though I could not yet think it probable. I said 1 could receive it only if made uncondi- tionally and that I would mot permit it to silence me in the campaign; that under these conditions it seemed to me that it would be a | tower of strength to Mr. Low and that I might properly accept. Mr. w. wish people to recall that one week ago Mr. Cutting said publicly the same thing; that is, that he could ch an indorsement, mac not be accepted plain if during the past week Mr. Mr. Cutting, under the impulse of Mr. Low distinctly assented to_th vi without conditions, Low and Platt, opinfons. Last Monday I told Mr. Low that alternative fairly left me was either sements or else decline all, including the fusion. He then refused to listen to such a declination, and it was at his suggestion that the formal notifica- tions proceeded that day. If he were ever to have taken the position he now takes it would have been fairer to have taken it a week agc The Mayor concedes, therefore, that he .id not protest when I mentioned to him the prop- osition that the ptance of Democratic in- | dorsement would aid him because it would be a helpful indorsement of the fusion adminis- I feel sure that, when he recalls the conversation I now bring to his attention, will admit that he then thought t distinct vantage to him in the cami actical ad- By the ac- Mr. Low has galned that tactical advantage. He has gained all that hé can gain by that, whether Mr. Fornes and I are retained on the fusion Having won the advantage, him, it seems he is now willing, at a demand inspired by T. C.

Tibbetts, er of the launch Queen, whose blackened body was found in a cabin at Long Beach where he had swal- lowed a fatal dose of laudanum a week ago Tibbetts was an old man, a veteran of the Civil War, and had been married thir- ty years. He made and saved money and he and his wife were happy with each other. Last spring an Eastern man, whe name is unknow went to Long B and engaged board at the Tibbetts home, and while the hushfnd was out made ad- vances to the wife, who reciprocat Never a thought of this entered the man’s mind, but on Memorial day his wife { told him that she loved the Eastern m: was tired of him and would leave at on Then comes the remarkable feature o ow £ = | the story, for the old soldier took a course that merits him a monument for unheard of charity. Hjs boarder, the wife's para- mour, sat on the front porch with his feet cocked on the railing, smoking a cigar, and coolly gave orders while Tib- betts packed the woman's belongings, the tears rolling from his eyes. Then he went to the bank and drew $1500, all he had, and gave it to his wife. | More than that, he blessed her and told her he would be waiting for her whenever she would come back. She never came and to-day the Coroner found a note on the corpse stating that while Tibbetts ended his sorrows by drinking poison, the death blowwas struck by his wife. The woman is traveling in the East with her paramour. i — ee———— Mass meeting to-night, Alhambra The- ater, Eddy and Jones streets, In favor of Geary-street bonds.
