ANOTHER PLAIN DUTY. .while life. What Is the Influence of pueh heartrending closings of fasci nating tales? Do they make for brighter views of life, or confirm the pessimist In his contentions? Do they help people or hinder them? Are they essentinl to tho art of the writer? Is the tragic ending needed by hint who would produce the great in literature? Again, Hall Caine raises the ques tion of a woman's ability to i'Ibc from a lite of sin to a position of respect among her fellows, ns men often rise. Hall Calnc, in "The Eternal City," does all but establish the fact, for lie hills ltoma after she Is forglvon by her husband, and" grown back into the love of the Roman people. He proves his point, but discourages every wo man who might class with Roma, by making it seem to be necessary that all women that have sinned must die in order to be happy. Why not tell us once of a woman who sinned and was in some corner of tho world again reinstated in the place that all good women should occupy, the re spect and affection of the people for one who has had enough of good to battle against bad tendencies and con quer them? RECIPROCITY BY THE POPE. It is the case of a "plain duty" re stated. Mr. Roosevelt in his message to fongiess said It was obviously our ;&rty to give Cuba relief in lower tar HSf schedules, and the president hint athat the nation was bound in honor ,ud to do. Now the protected sugar .&!-, headed by Mr. Oxnard, comes to The front, alongside of tho tobacco .trot, and the two demand that no HDivession be granted. Congress lis- ( ecs to them, and apparently ilisre jcaris the stentorian tones and com-1 oawding manner of the nation as it ars to its representatives that they mist give relief to Cuba. Why should we relieve Cuba? Be osi.se we cut off Cuba's once rich anccket in Spain, and constructively oatred one here. Cuban people never .iuibted that this country would exer-' afe fostering care over her. She con ceited to placing herself under our , Trttual control, even though she has ' jSHuretical freedom. The United gutes exercises authority guaranteed fcy the Cuban constitution to. visp all Imeign negotiations. It is in return' lai past promises, in conpensation as xvtll for concessions made by Cuba in , firtse respects, that, we should con- J csie to her in the matter of the tariff. 2f to do so would be perfidy. i BANISH THE PISTOL.

The day has passed when j 'it the West there Is peculiar excuse i JTsrthe indiscriminate bearing of arms ks the body of the citizenship.

I3xllo the pistol. Relegate It to -obscurity. ENDING A NOVEL. Admirers of Hall Calne wonder chy he persists In ending his novels in a manner to disappoint every read ier. Ills last and greatest story, "The .Eternal City," charms the reader, and it! tie attention" to tho sad ending. It is strong. It is tho finest work from tie pen of Cain. It warrants hope Oat It will live. But, it is dlsap painting. Why, when a novelist is eanlpotent, does not ho close his .stories without sending the reader tin bod with Btralned heart strings, atter remaining up Into the small Jours of the morning to end tho talo? 'Why does Calno this? Is tragedy flatter than sweetness and happiness as tho closing of a story? There is cot tho shadow of a doubt that ex actly 100,000 people have execrated Ball Calne for ending "The Eternal CSty" with the death of Home. Evory en f; of them wished that she might jSavo had a short period of peace and mntent nfter sufforlng through her The holy father has resumed his public audiences, and last Sunday at noon received about 250 persons of all nations in' the great audience chamber of tho Vatican. They were mostly Catholics; mnny of them had come long distances, and some had been waiting weeks for the opportun ity. Tho larger number were French but there were a good many English and Americans, a good share of ,the latter being Protestants. It was the first public audience lie has given this J s"ason, anu was very mucn mouineu from former occasions of the kind, which is necessary because of his in creasing weakness. 1 The doctors say, as I told you in a recent letter, that the pope is a well ! man, and his only disease is age. His ! vitality is extremely low and his light 1 flickers. .Most of his time is spent in a reclining chair, gathering his strength for the duties he is required to perform, and these public audi ences are more taxing and exhaust-1 ins than anything else he does, al-1 though he has passed the period of life when the nerves can be excited, and lias reached, beyond all living men, that state af existence which tln lhuldists strive to acquire a se-1 rone and holj calm. His temner is ! to cmnfiietely under control that it ! would tie difficult to provoke him, and j that is one reason of his long life. Had Leo XIII been a passionate man lie would have been dead long ago. In fact he was almost as feeble at the time he was elected pope as he is now, and that fact was one of the chief arguments in favor of his elec tion. There was a deadlock in the college or cardinals, Cardinal Pran chi, his chief opponent, having a large minority, which prevented him :oni obtaining the necessary two thirds vote. An arrangement was en tered into between the friends of the two candidates under which the sup porters of Cardinal Franchi agreed to cast their votes for Cardinal Pecci, ; with the understanding that he should appoint Cardinal Franchi pap al secretary of state and that the sup porters of Pecci should elect Cardinal Franchi pope when Pecci died, as they expected him to do in very short time. This arrangement has been fulfilled as fur as lay in the power of man. PleccI was elected and Franchi was made papal secretary of state. but the Invalid whose death was so confidently expected, will enter upon the twenty-fourth year of his ponti ficate February 20, and a few days later upon the ninety-third year of his life, having been born March 2, 1S10. Franchi was a healthy, robust specimen of physical perfection, twenty years younger than Pecci, but lie dietV within four years after tho election, and Pecci has outlived not only him, but every other cardinal who cast a vote at that time. Ho has buried K57 cardinals nnd has created 121. - Since tho crucifixion of Christ, when Peter, tho fisherman of Galilee, became the head of the church, or the pope, as the occupant of the office has been cajled since the fifth century, 203 persons have been elected to the office, and their average term has been about seven years. Only 12 popes havo reigned over twenty years; only two have- exceeded the term of Leo XIII. St. Peter had the longest reign of any of the popes, from tho year 33, when tho church is supposed to havo been organized at Antloch, to the year 67, tho date of the crucifixion, a period of trlrty- four years. There has been no Peter II. Popes chose their own titles, but none have been willing to assume that hal lowed name. Tho following is a list of the popes who havo reigned twen ty years and more: St. Peter. .33 07. .34 years. St. Sylvester.. 314 336.. 21. St. Leo, tho Great.. 440 561 . . 21. Hadrian I. .772795, .23.

From 47G, tho fall of tho homan em pire, during the reign of Romulus Augustus, to the restoration of tho holy Roman Empire nuder Charle magne In 80Q, there, were fifty-three popes, averaging six years and one month. Of the 2G2 popes who pre ceded Leo XIII. eighty-eight were can" onized, all the popes being canonized up to the year 530. Thirteen popes have borne the name of Leo and five of them have been canonized. The following are the number of popes in each century: First century 4 Second century .11 Third century 15 Fourth century. . . .".

Calixtus III., one of the the Ilorgias, was 78 years old at the time of his election in 1455, and lived three years afterward. Cle ment X (1C70) was 80 years old when he was elected and reigned six years. Clement (1730) was also eighty, and reigned eight years. Celestine III. was S5 when he was elected in 1191, 1 and reigned seven years. Gregory IX. was 84 when lie was elected in 1227, and lived to be 100 years old. Wm. E. Curtis.
