MATRIMONY OK PRIESTS.
Bamor That the Prlvilegre AVIII He
Given South .American Clergry.
From the New York World.
Rome, Jan. 13.—The Pope Is contemplat
ing an order permitting the priests of the
Catholic Church to marrV. The first step
has already been taken in the encyclical
to the bishops of South America, in whicn
permission is given to the priests there to
take wives unto themselves.
Mgr. Galleza, rector of the Spanish Col
lege in Rome, says that the concession
granted by the Holy Father to priests in
South America is to meet special condi
tions.
“I do not think His Holiness wi 1 issue
a general order releasing all the prltsts of
the church from their vows of celibacy,”
Mgr. Galleza continued. "This question
of celibacy having been established by a
general council, I think that only a gen
eral council would have authority to make
a change."
On the other hand. Mgr. Tolli, one of the
most eminent jurists of the Vatican, Is
firmly convinced that the Pope purposes
to abolish the rule of celibacy for the
priesthood before he dies. Mgr. Tolli
says:
"The day the Pope conceived the great
project of the union of the Christian
church he must have begun to examine
all the difficulties which might stand in
the way.
“One obstacle, perhaps the greatest of
them all. is that in all demonitations ex
cept the Roman church the priests and
ministers are permitted to marry or not,
as they choose.
Obstacles Not Insurmountable.
“I believe that after mature deliberation
the holy father has reached the convic
tion that the obstacle is not insurmounta
ble. I am convinced that he will abolish
the enforced celibacy, of the clergy. I do
not belieYc that there will be a general
encyclical affecting the Catholic Church
throughout the world. That would be 100
revolutionary. But 1 think the change will
come about by degrees, and that his or
der affecting the priest of South Amer
ica is the beginning.”
The familiar rumors of a reconciliation
between the Vatican and the church in It
aly have broken forth afresh, but now
they have become more than mere ru
mors, because there are significant facts.
The most■ important is the jubilee and
the opening of the Sacred Door of St. Pe
ter.
Pius IX established the jubilee and the
holy year for ICTS, but when that year
came the project was abandoned upon the
pretext that tip' Pope, being a prisoner,
could not preside over a jubilee.
After mature deliberation Deo XIII pro
claimed 1900 the holy year, and announc
ed that he would personally open the Sa
cred Door. Those whose opinion is author
itative declare that this action on the part
of his holiness can mean only one thing—
the longed-for reconciliation.
Gotti for Reconciliation.
Cardinal Gotti, one of the most Influ
ential members of ihe Sacred College, and
urged by Deo us his successor us i’ope,
paid:
"A reconciliation with Italy is not im
possible. It would lx- as useful for the
Quirinal as for the Vatican. In the pres
ence of the dangers which menace the
Italian stute, especially socialism, the Ro
man Church would be a valuabl. ally.”
"Upon what conditions could the alli
ance be made?” the cardinal was asked.
”1 Ihink that both sides would make con
cessions,” was his reply.
The jubilee wij be prolonged until the
end of the year, because the Pope hold*
that the new century begins on Jan. l, j9<)i.

From the New York World.
Funchal. Madeira, Dee. a,'.— Sir Hugo de

try's husbands, has passed here on his
way to South Africa, to fight the Boers
and Incidentally to forget ills marital trou
bles with the Jersey Idly. He will reach
Cape Town rat the Fnion liner Mexican,
about New Year's day, and expects to de
part at once for Durban, where he will try
for a commission in the Natal Volunteers.
De Bathe was accompanied as far as
Madeira by on,- of his sisters. He spent
much of the time, from Southampton In

When his sister left the boat at Madeira

Of how he expected to win the Victorian

by declaring that he would return to Kng
land carrying part of Kruger's whiskers.
He was serious as well as sober when he

De Bathe is about 6 feet 3 inches tall
and almost as thin as a ray of light. He
wears extraordinary clothing and has a
wasp-like waist. He is anything but
handsome, but is abnormally vain. Tits

He is proud of his conquests over wo

He rather enjoyed being known ns “the

“I want to show my wife that I am a

The Inquiring passenger smiled and said,
rather credulously:
"I hope you'll succeed."
ASTOn AND THE DIKE.
Why William Waldorf Quarreled
W ith Westminster.
From the Philadelphia Record.
A private letter received in Washington
from London tells why no mention of the
Duke of Westminster’s death was allow
ed to be made in the Pall Mall Gazette,
which is owned by William Waldorf As
tor. Mr. Astor purchased his country res
idence, “Cliveden.'' near Hampton, on the
Thames, from the Duke of Westminster,
with all its furniture and appurtenances,
including pictures, library, bric-a-brac and
the thousand and one things that contri
buted to the attractiveness of one of the
most beautiful and famous estates in
England; but Ihe Duke carried away with
him the visitors' book an autograph al
bum tn which were inscribed by their own
hands the names of ail the distinguished
guests who had partaken of the hospital
ity of “Cliveden” for 130 years, since it
came into the possession of Kitty Clive, a
ffimo’ts actress, to whom it was presented
by Sir Robert Walpole, and in whose hon
or the place was n anted. It is one of the
most famous and valuable books of the
kind In existence, and upon the Duke's
tefusal to return it, on the ground that
it was a part of the family' archivt/s. Mr.
Astor appealed to the courts and vindicat
ed his right to its possession. Then Mr.
Astor sent the bqok to the Duke, with a
brief and p dite note asking him to accept
it as a gift from its rightful owner. West
minster was not too proud to do so, but
wrote a most insulting note to a member
of Mr. Astor's family, which the latter
was not able to forgive. That is the story
as Mr. W. B. Curtis hears it and tells it
in the Chicago Record. What is certainly
true is that the two men fell out over
Cliveden.
WOMEN IN THE CASE.
Two of Them Alive,l t'p in a Pro
llot-r Conspiracy.
Berlin Cable in New York World.
An extraordinary story is current here
which explains ttie complete fore-arming
of the Boer republics in anticipation of
British provocation of Avar. It is alleged
that a prominent member of the Rhode
sian coterie which plotted the war gave
information from on early stage in the
conspiracy to tlie Pretoria government,
which was thus cognizant of every move
of thtdr enemies, and even of the pur
port <(t the most confidential communi
cations between the leaders In South Af
rica and their agents In England who
dealt with Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
arid other members of ihe government.
Jealousy is mentioned as the motive of
this treachery. Two beautiful women were
intimately mixed up with the conspiracy,
and the preference shown by one of them
for a more fortunate confederate arous
ed Ihe idea of frustrating the plot and
ruining all those concerned.
Tho archives at Pr< lorlu are said to con
jain a complete history of the working
of the Rhodesian conspiracy, which will
Ist duly brought to light when peace ne
gotiation! arise, and can be used with
especial effect If the Boers enter upon
them at a disadvantage.
This story has caused the utmost con
sternation among leading South African
financiers, and an energetic attempt is be
ing made to discount it.

SNAPSHOTS AT BUFFALO.
HINTING IIIG GAME IN MONTANA
WITH A CAMERA.
Famous \ Nurd Herd That Was
Started by a Cattleman, Who in
Purchased Ilnffnlo Jones'
Kansu* Herd.
From the Anaconda (Mont.) Standard.
“Dere's tree bull,” said the guide. We
looked in the direction that he indicated
and there, on the north slope of the Big
Butte, were three magnificent buffalo
bulls. They were half a mile distant, and
had not noticed our approach. Two of
them were lying down, and the third was
standing with his head toward us, sleepy
lin'd indifferent. None of the rest of the
herd were in sight. "Dass all right." he
continued, "de herd she's not far.”
We had driven thirty miles since break
fast from the hospitable home of Alex
ander De Mers, at St. Ignatius' Mission,
to the Allard ranch on Mud creek. The
drive had been a pleasant one, though
more than half of it was through a morn
ing fog that was so dense that it was at
limes impossible to Bee beyond the heads
of the horses. The road was along the fool
of the splendid Mission range of moun
tains, crossing at frequent intervals the
beautiful streams that make the Mission
valley a paradise. We had passed Indian
farms that loomed suddenly out of the fog
and as suddenly the stolid
half-breed on the front seat of our wagon
pounding the cayuse team along at a rate
that would have alarmed a man unaccus
tomed to the capacity of the little runt
of horses. They kept up in their collars
all the way, and the thirty-mile drive
was made in three hours. Now and then
we would meet an Indian rider who grunt
ed a salutation to us as we emerged from
Lhe haze of fog and would look at us
wonderingly as we swung along past him.
From the yards and corrals of the Indian
farms the cur dogs of the reserve would
rush out at us, snarling and yelping. There
was always something to break the mo
notony of the drive through the fog, and
it was not irksome.
As we neared Mud creek the fog lifted
and Ihe sun came up clear and bright.
It was a good day for pictures, and if we
could find the buffalo the trip would be
an interesting and profitable one. The
cayuses made a final spurt, and we swung
up in front of the old Allard ranch, fa
miliar to alf who crossed the reserva
tion in the old singing days. This was
the feeding station in those days, and here
the Allard stages changed horses. There
has been many a sharp race across the
Mud creek fiat between the big six-horse
stages and the excitement was always high
when the passengers were eating at Al
lard's. The opposition stage would puob
ably pass them there, and that meant a
hard chase up the hill to the divide that
overlooked the Flathead lake. We chang
ed horses here, too, and we also got
dinner. With a fresh team and Joe Houlle
at the lines we started. Immediately after
eating, to look for the hord. Joe knew
where' they were, he said, and we set out
across the valley to the Big Butte, where
we expected to find the Buffalo.
Where the Buffalo Ranged.
Tho natural habitat of the buffalo—more
properly, the bison—was between the A’]o
gheny mountains on the East and the fort
of the Rockies and each year the Indian
of the valleys that are now/in West rn
Montana, Idaho and Washington made pil
grimage to the "buffalo country” for hides
and meat. This annual buffalo hunt was
one of the great occasions In the calendar
of the Western Indians. It was attends 1
with much pomp and ceremony, and occu
pied often nearly a quarter of the year. It
furnished the Indians with much of their
winter meat and with skins for blankets
and for !ei>ee. Tite medicine men tn id ■
their Incantations; the chiefs exhorted
their subordinates; the novitiate warrior
frequently won Ills plume on these expedi
tions across the range. The buffalo coun
try was then the range in the Eastern
valley of Montana and the pilgrimage
across the mountains was an important
event. Whole villages of the Indians
traveled together and the sojourn in the
valleys of Eastern Montana was exciting
and full of danger. Bloody battles were
often fought on these pilgrimages—encoun
ters with hostile tribes who were on the
same errand. Rut these dangers did not
deter the Indians from making ihe tri >
It was of too much importance to them.
It meant meat and shelter, and that was
practically everything in those days.
History of Hie Allaril Herd.
Yet it Is in one of these valleys of West
ern Montana that the largest herd of buf
falo extant now exists and thrives in its
new surroundings. The Allard herd was
started by Charles Allard, Ihe well known
cattleman of lhe Flathead reservation,who
died a few years ago. From a small begin
ning, by breeding and by purchase the
herd has Increased till it now numb rs
about 200 head. These buffalo have free
range on the open pastures of the Mission
valley, their favorite place being tn the
neighborhood of the Big Butte, a familiar
landmark to those who have visited thu
portion of the reserve. The big animtlt
do not range in one large herd, but di
vide into small bands, averaging ftom
twenty-five to forty head. These small
bands are generally under the leadership
of a big bull and Hie mastery of a herd U
frequently the cause of a battle between
two of these big fellows. Those who
have seen these contests say that tho
struggles are magnificent In their exhibi
tion of strength.
In the Mission valley and the Lower
Flathead valley these animats find a cli
mate and forage that seem to be satisfac
tory, for the herd Is steadily increasing.
Not oil of the buffalo In lhe Allard herd
are from Hie Northern stock. In 1893
Mr. Allard purchased the famous Kansas
herd of buffalo of Buffalo Jones, which
was brought to Montana a tel driven to
the Flathead range. At that time the an
imals wore exhibited in several of the
larger Monlana towns. Some of the Kan
sas buffalo had been partially broken to
wagon, and those who visited the buffalo
show will recall the display of awkward
ness that the "trained" buffalo gave at
that time.
In the Kansas herd, too, were some “ca<-
aloes." as they are called—crosses between
the Buffalo find- Ihe range cattle. Those
are homely creatures, neither buffalo nor
cows, and did not seem to promise much
for the attempt to produce a marketable
animal from this system of cross breed
ing. The experiment has been continued
on the reservation, but It has not been
very successful. There is now on an isl
and In lint Lower Flathead lake a band
■f these half-breeds that numbers about
25, but they are not considered of much
'due, aside from being curiosities. They
ve not furry hides, nor is their me.it
much value.
Nowhere can the buffalo be studied to
fitter advantage thai In t is here* t is
lathead reservation. There the animal
- to be seen in a 1 iti.j- a na.ura. >■*. .. ion.
has a rang -; the country, though,
.r r <iis own, is admirably adapted to his
labits and he thrives there. The t-isrht of
this herd is no novelty to old-tim
*
Kindreds of thousands, but to the man
vho has never seen a buffalo on t.io range
he visit is an extremely interesting on'?.
The animals are sluggish and not as eas
y stampeded, perhaps, as those thaf us'd
> roam at will on the Eastern prairies,
Hit they are not at all sociable and do
not readily cultivate human acquaintances.
As we approached these vagrant bulls on
as to
whether or not we could get within shoot
ing distance of them wiih the camero. Joe
Houlle sad that this would be • isy, but
tlie half-breed driver who had accom
panied us had his doubts and expressed
them freely.
Good Subjects.
“Ycu’ll see dass bull, he ran. Mebbe you
get close dass bull he fight. Dass be bad,
eh?” That would certainly be bad, but
we accepted Houlb s opinion as the cor
rect one, and the camera was unpacked
and set up for action. Houlle drove his
l orses to -within fifty i -ct of the big fel
low’s. and they paid no more attention to
the team than to look inquiringly at it.
< no bull that was lying down arose laz
ily, and another wallowed in the dust, but
none of the four manifest! 1 any desire to
leave. Then it occurred to us that the
half-breed’s prediction might have been
the correct one. and that the bulls were
only getting ready to charge us when the
camera should be set up. But we had to
take the chances. Al ghtirg on th“ further
side of the wagon, the camera was made
ready, and was focused upon tho ungainly
animals. Still, they paid no attention to
the camera or its operators. One e&p is ire
was made, and then another. The buffalo
seemed to like it Then, emboldened by
success, we approached to within thirty
feet of the big fellows. They looked curi
ously at us, but that was all, and we
made s nje more pictures. It was* easier
than photograt h ng Indians, and the buf
falo did not ask for copies of the picture.
We were able to get within thirty feet of
the biggest bull in the bunch, and he
stood there like a trained model. He turn
ed his head toward the camera and stood
like a statue till the shutter was dropped.
He was the best subject that we found.
When w’e had made half a dozen pic
tures of these big animals, we set out to
find the larger ban 1 Houlle was certain
that w’e would find them somewhere
around the Big Butte. He had seen them
there two days before And was sure that
they had not left that part of the valley.
So w’e drove around the Big Butte. We
looked at It from the north, the south,
the east and the west, but we found no
buffalo. “Dass funny.*’ sa*d the halfbreed,
and Houlle said that he thought it was
funny, too, but he didn’t look as if he
spoke the truth We drove about twenty
miles over the prairie, following cattle
tra’ls most of the way, hunting for those
buffalo.
Houlle’s stag hounds followed us, rang
ing here and there for signs of a coyote.
This photograph business was 100 much
for them. They could only imagine that
we were after coyotes, and yet the wagon
was a queer thing to chose coyo-es in,
Still they ranged, and on the south slope
of the butte, standing rn a ridge oveilook
ing a runw’ay to the river, the halfbr el
spied one of the sneaking beasts. He
showed the animal to Houlle, and the lat
ter hallooed to the hounds. They were
off like bullets, and the coyote took the
hint. He settled down to business. It
was well that he did. The yellow stag
hound, Dewey by name, ran like a quar
ter horse. His black companion trail and
him closely, and ihen ensued as pretty a
chase as anybody ever witnessed. The
coyote did his and hunted the other
side of the butte; It was useless to at
tempt to follow with the heavy wagon,
and the hounds, discouraged by the ab
sence of their master, relinquished tho
chase, after having given the wolf a run
of three miles. Mr. Coyote escaped, but
the incident served to cheer up Houlle,
who took up the search for the buffalo in
better humor than he had manifested for
an hour. But he constantly lamented he
fact that the hounds had not killed the
coyote. He would have had a dead wolf
If he had only brought along a saddl ?
horse. That was all that tire dogs needed.
Snapshots nt the Herd.
While he was thus lamenting he espied
the buffalo, a band of fifty or more. They
were slowly working their w’ay up from
the lower valley, where they had been for
water, and were bunched when we saw
them, on the slope of the butte that we
had passed an hour before. In this band
were a few bulls, a lot of cows, and a
number of calves. Tho presence of the
calves made the cows a little shy, and we
did not have as good success in approach
ing them as we had with the solitary
bulls. Still, they wei e not alarmed by
the camera. Whenever ii was set up for
action the cows would crowd their young
sters into the middle of the band, so that
it was not easy to gel a view of the bunch
that w'ould show the little fellow’s prop
erly.
We walked around with the team as a
screen, and <he buffalo posed till we had
all the pictures that we wanted. The half
breed insisied that we took too long a
chance, and his frequent yells of warning,
given whenever he saw a quick movement
on the port of any of the herd, disturbed
the animals more than anything that ch*
earner did. The herd moved slowly, so
that we were able to secure several ex
cellent pictures of this bunch. Finally,
when we had but ono plate left, we sent
the half-breed around the bunch wuth in
structions to yell and wave his coat. He
did this, and the herd broke into a lumber
ing gallop. The camera was leveled upon
them as they sped past and a snap was
taken. It did not result very satisfactor
ily. The figures were distinct enough,
but too small. That was the only fail
ure that we had in all the plates. On
the brow of the slight hill that lay back
of us <he herd stopped and looked back to
see if the half-breed was still after them*
Seeing that he had desisted, the buffalo
stopped and watched us move away.

ranch, and Die sun was getting low.
Houlle turnej his horses toward Mud
creek, and we bumped over the rough
prairie at a rate that threaiened the dem
olition of the camera and the destruc
tion of the party. But Houlle knew the
country, and just as dusk we pulled up
at the ranch once more. Trowbridge pick
ed up his machine while the team of the
morning was being brought out, and In
a few minutes we were on the roud back
to the mission. Those cayusos d.d even
better than they had done in the morning,
and in less than three hours we were back
at the De Mers table eating supper.
There are many things that are much
more difficult than photographing buffalo.
There are, too, many places that are less
satisfactorj' to visit than the pleasant val
ley where these buffalo range. The herd
is soon to be divided in the partition of
the Allard estate, and this Is probably
the last season that it will be seen in
one band.
WHIPPED HONING TUTOR.
Governor Roosevelt's Sons Show Snr
prisinK Shill With lhe Gloves.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Albany, Jan. 12.—'Bantam-weight “Ed"
Kelly of North Albany, noted for being
the best 115-pound boxer in this section,
to-day began the teaching of Gov. Roose
velt's two boys, Teddy, Jr., and Ken
neth, how to spar. Gloves were fastened
upon the boys’ hands and Kelly started in
to explain the various swings, counters,
upper-cuts, half-arm blows and side-step
ptngs dear to Ihe pugilist's heart.
A'hen he had finished he bade the
youngsters "smoke up.” They did it in a
manner that surprised Kelly. The ban
tam-weight had forgotten that the boys
had been taught a deal in the manly art
by their father, and also by Prof. Dwyer,
lhe Governor's late tutor.
Before Kelly realized it the boys, as he
expressed It. were "putting it all over"
him. They drove him up against the wall
until the executive mansion shook. They
tapped him In the wind and landed one
or two McCoy corkscrew punches on the
jaw that rati led his teeth like a Salva
tion Army tambourine.
"Stand one sid<k Kenneth, I'll take him
on alone," said Teddy, Jr., as he snapped
his teeth in the manner peculiar to his
father. But Kelly rang the gong and call
ed a halt.

Ottawa, Ontario, Jan. 12.—Lord Strath
cona, who proposes to equip at his own
(-xix-r.se a corps of 400 mounted volunteers,
composed of British Columbians, for serv
ice in South Africa, Is notably wealthy
and patriotic among the subjects of ihe
Queen in the dominion. He Is chancellor
of McGill University, Montreal, resident
governor of Ihe Hudson Bay Company,
president of Ihe Bank of Montreal, and a
director In the St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba and Great Northern Railway
lines. His lordship, when he was Sir
Donald Smith, participated largely In the
growth of the north west ern section of ihe
United States, and freely invested his cap
ital in American securities. When Lord
Strathcona landed on this side of the At
. lan-tic he was the poor but adventurous
son of a Scotch gentleman, and he plunged
Into the life of a pioneer with pleasure.
He grew up with the country, and by wise
thrift soon amassed a great fortune. His
home at Montreal is one of the show
places of that city. Asa peer of Her
Majesty’s realm he has a residence in
- England which is none olher than the an
cestral domain of the Lyttons in Hertford
shire.
SIX WORDS IN TWENTY YEARS.
Man Kept Silent That Long, Dying
Soon After Breaking His Vow.
From the Philadelphia Press.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 12.—“ I'm a very
sick man, doctor,” said Frederick Rich
ardson.
These were simple wprds, but they caus
ed Dr. Moore to collapse. They wi- re the
first Richardson had spoken in twenty
years. He had been v regarded as insane
since 1879 and spent part of lhe time at
the Middletown retreat.
He had sat morose and speechless for
two decades, loss of his fortune in a busi
ness venture causing Dim to make a vow
never to speak again. He was taken ill a
week ago, but said nothing to the doctor
% till yesterday, when it was evident that he
was /lying. On his deathbed he uttered
the above words, which were his last. .

Of course, as everybody knows, there
are inner circles in every club. The Union
League boasts many such, and some of
them ate regularly organized little clubs in
themselves, such as dining clubs and the
like. The Hypochondiacs is the name
given to u little coterie of club members
who flock by themselves, and whose only
source of conversation seems to be the
ills that flesh is heir to. Every member
of this little clique fancies that he is a
confirmed Invalid, and the medical jour
nals are read with avidity and discussed
learnedly from every point of view. One
of the Hypochondriacs read the other day
a dissertation upon the germs that lurk
In tho palms of the hands, and the conse
quent evils of the custom of handshaking.
The medical Journal which gave
slon to these views was nearly worn out
in going the rounds, and the Non-Shakers
is the natural outcome. The Non-Shakers
Is a branch or sub-division of the Hy
pochondriacs, and those whose views co.
incide with the views of the learned medi
cal man have pledged ihcmselves to shake
hands only when their own hands and
those of the person to be shaken are cloth
ed in gloves.
—Mahmoud Pacha, the brother-in-law of
the Sultan of Turkey, who recently fled
from Constantinople to esra|>e persecu
tion on account of his political principles
find is now In Paris, said the other day:
"I am going to England to write all that
I have at heart. 1 wish to try to liberate
my country from a tyranny that Is leading
It to ruin. I hope to carry on an agitation
that shall be fruitful in practical and
beneficent results." He added that it was
not his aim to overthrow the Sultan, but
tp induce him to adopt a more liberal sys
tem of government -
