The department of labor has undertaken to give clerical employment to all of these applicants. The executive committee of the relief association arranged today to establish a sewing tent, and 25 sewing-machines were ordered. This will enable the seamstresses who have lost everything to get work, and thus relieve the condition of fire sufferers who have lost all clothes except those they wear. A laundry will be erected, and colored laundresses will be started In business again. The city is still under martial law. and 500 men and 43 officers are In control. Over $500,000 worth of insurance already has been paid by the adjusters, and the people are commencing the erection of temporary places of business and dwellings.

Marchetti, upon the conclusion ot the reading of the briefs, advanced to Cardinal Gibbons' throne and delivered to him an address Informing him that the supreme pontiff had committed to him the office of Investing with the red berretta Cardinal (Martinelli, of whom Mgr. Marchettl said: "His obedience overcame his humility and brought him unwillingly to his sub lime dignity, of which I will say nothing at present, as another more worthy than I will more clearly and more gracefully speak of it." Cardinal Gibbons responded as follows: "Most Eminent Father: I beg leave to tender to your eminence my most sin-, cere congratulations on the well-merited honor which the holy father has conferred on you In associating you with the mem bers of the sacred college. And I am sure that In offering my felicitations 1 am expressing not only the sentiments of my own heart, but those of all my ven erable colleagues of the American episco pate, who are so numerously represented on this joyous occasion. They have come from the North and South, from the East and.West, and many of them from a considerable distance, and with great In convenience to themselves, as this Is the season of the year when they are usually engaged In administering confirmation and in making' the visitation of the dlo-; ceses. I am certain also that the good wishes of the prelates are shared by the clergy throughout the United States. Less than five years ago you came among us an entire stranger. You will leave us bound by the hallowed ties of friendship, without a single enemy to sound a dis cordant note in the universal jubilee of praise and congratulation. "Your mission to the United States has been a mission of peace. While living among us you have taken as your model the Prince of Peace himself, of whom it is written: 'He shall not contend nor cry out, neither shall his voice be heard in the streets. The bruised reed he shall not break: the smoking flax he shall not extinguish.' You have fulfilled your oner ous duties most effectually, without noise ore ostentation, in Discharging your mis sion as apostolic delegate. Your eminence has been actuated by a high sense of jus tice, by a justice tempered with char ity. The spirit of your administration has -been fittingly characterized in the words of the royal prophet: 'Mercy and truth have met each other; justice and peace have kissed. You- have followed the in junction of the apostle of the gentiles, which Is also the sentiment of your own illustrious founder: 'Omnia vestra in charitate. fiant.' Let all your works he done in charity. By your justice you have settled disputes. By your charity you have healed the wounds which are some times inflicted by litigation. "There is but one sad note in the joyous festivity of today, and that Is found In the reflection that your eminence is des tined to leave us. But we indulge the hope that you will abide with us for some time yet. And we are cheered and comforted by the consideration that when you take up your residence In Rome the holy father will have in you a wise and prudent counsellor, who is conversant with the religlousj moral and social con ditions of the United States. Your emi nence will be able to Inform his holiness that in no country in the Christian world can be found a hierarchy or clergy or people more devoted and loyal to the sovereign pontiff; more tenacious to the faith once delivered to the saints; more zealous In extending the kingdom of Christ, than the bishops and priests and laity of the United States. "Be assured, most eminent father, that our prayers and best wishes will follow you. May you enjoy in the Eternal City that peace and tranquility which is the fruit of a mission faithfully accomplished." Cardinal 'Gibbons descended from his throne to the front of the altar, accom panied by his attendants bearing the ber retta. Mgr. Martinelli arose and,-escorted by the members of the noble guard and the papal chamberlain, walked toward Cardinal GibbDns, before whom he knelt and bowed his head. Slowly lifting the berretta from the sliver salver upon which It rested, Cardinal Gibbons unfolded it and held it high in order that the con gregatlon might see it. Then, stooping, and with what seemed to be a softly-murmured prayer, he placed It upon the head of the cardinal-elect, who arose, and, ad vancing to the front of the altar, spoke as follows: "Most Eminent and Most Reverend Sir; Having been by the kindness of the su preme .pontiff made a member of the sub lime college of cardinals of the holy Ro man church, nothing could have pleased me more than to receive from your emi nence, surrounded by this crowd of bish ops and illustrious personages, the in signia of this honor and high dignity. It rejoices me to receive these signs of pon tifical favor In this metropolitan see, In which the example of your apostolic zeal and pastoral care have been so bright and have done so much for the-promotlon of Catholic interests as well as for the furtherance of all things which aid in the progress of humanity and the glory of the Nation. But you will permit me to add another reason for my happiness. I find it in your continuous and untiring kindness toward me from the moment in which, by the command of the supreme pontiff, I was placed at the head of the apostolic delegation. These and other considerations awaken in me a spirit of gratitude toward your eminence. I beg you to accept thethanks which I cordial ly offer you, and not only to you, but to the illustrious prelates and others who have come to honor this occasion by their presence, do I offer the expression of my sincere gratitude. Meanwhile, most rever end sir, I pray the great and good God long to preserve and bless you." Having concluded the address, the newly-made cardinal retired to the Inner sanctuary, and in a few moments-returned clad In his cardlnalltlal ''fobes. Almost Immediately afterward he divested him self of these and appeared in the" white and gold vestments of the mass in which he was pontificated Assisted by his priests and deacons,ihe conducted this amid the breathless, attention of the vast audience. The sermon, was delivered by Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, after which Cardinal Gibbons pronounced the benediction and the ceremony was ended.

"If the great trusts In this country encroach on European markets to the detriment of European manufacturers, I predict a combination of the commercial countries of Europe to raise tariffs on American goods to almost prohibitive figures." So spoke Jules Siegfried, France's Min ister of Industry, Commerce and the Colo nies In the Cabinet of Rlbot In 1892 and lSi?3. who Is at present In this city. "There Is but one logical solution of the present situation," continued Mr. Sieg fried, "and that is the signing of a fair and equitable reciprocity treaty between the dffferent nations. I always have been In favor of such treaties, because they foster trade and Increase the friendliness of political relations between countries party to them. It really Is the only logical solution of the approaching trouble. "Do I believe a combination of Euro pean powers is probable in the near fu ture? Well, It will follow after severa: of the countries have put up their tariffs to protect their own manufacturers. You are a wonderful people, and your country is marvelous In Its resources, and when your competition becomes so great as to be alarming, the combination of govern ments will be a very natural result. "Under reciprocity this situation would be almost Impossible. Take my own coun try, France, for example. We buy our steel, Iron and machinery from England, but wo could buy It from your mills just as Well. Under a reciprocity agreement between the two governments we would come to you lor our steel, our Iron, our coal, our machinery and, In fact, nearly all of the material used in our manufac tures and industries. On the other hand, we would send you our gloves, our fine linen and lace and cotton goods, and the commercial relations established would bring the two countries into closer and more cordial political relations. It would be of benefit to both." Philippines. once.

Orders have been issued at the 12 to 15 factories of the National Starch Company, including the factory in this city, to get ready to close down until the corn market becomes set tled again. The price of starch, It is said, The best authorities say, is a discaso of the blood. Therefore local applications cannot cure. Being a constitutional disease it requires a constitutional remedy Hood's Sarsaparilla. By thoroughly purifying the blood, this great medicine reduces the in flammation of the mucous membrane and stops all catarrhal discharges of the nose, throat, stomach, bowels, bladder and generative organs. Catarrh is especially dangerous in persons who inherit or have acquired a predisposition to consumption. In these and all other catarrhal cases, Hood's Sarsaparilla so thoroughly ren ovates the blood and restores strength and vigor that it permanently cures. In fact, because of the character of the disease, and the peculiar merit of the remedy, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the common-sense treatment for catarrh. "I was a sufferer from nasal catarrh, grad ually growing worse. I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla which completely cured me of that troublesome disease."

Today the mag nificent Schlitz brewery forms a monument to that honesty. From the very beginning the main object has been to attain absolute purity. In Schlitz beer pure yeast was first introduced in America. In the Schlitz brewery are all the inventions men have made for protecting beer from impurities. Schlitz beer is even cooled in filtered air; then it is fil tered, then sterilized. It is well aged to avoid the cause of biliousness.
