Flags May Be Half-Masted.
LONDON, July 23. -The first mention of
the pope's death in the House of Commons
occurred this afternoon, when William
Redmond (Irish nationalist) asked If the
flag on Victoria tower, Westminster, and
those on the ' publlo buildings would be
half-roasted out of respect to the late
pope.
Victor Cavendish, treasurer of the house
hold, replying for the government, said
there was no precedent, but the question of
ordering ttfe half-masting of tho flags, on
publlo buildings was now under considera
tion. ! ,
Mr. Redmond invited a statement on the
subject from the premier, Mr. Balfour, who
said It was not a. question of respect to the
dead pope, but universal precedent must
be regarded and general rules laid down
must be observed. Irrespective of sentiment.
otherwise they would be in a difficult post,
tlon.qt Precedent did not turn on respect
for the personal character of the in
dividual but on his position. .". '
Mr. Redmond then called the attention
of the government to the fact that tho
flags were "lowered all. over tho United
States by the order of President Roose
velt," ' wfilch would perhaps . influence
British action. At any rate, he added, the
flags might bo lowered on the day of .the
funeral.

PeatlS aad Folate Oat the teaall

Good Bess 'la It.
With all the omn ceremonies of the
church, with the cathedrdl draped In black.
with the priests of the city gathered under
tho right reverend, the bishop of the
diocese, , the memorial in . honor of Leo
XIII was held at St. Phllomena's yesterday
morning. The service began at 9:30 o'clock
and Continued .until noon. There same the
devout and sorrowful of the church to'ahow
their respect to the' late pope and the
cathedral .was crowded. Inside festoons of
black wero passed along the walls above
the windows and across the organ loft and
the altar candles were draped; the church
will so remain until the election of a now
pope. At the' front was the symbolical
catafalque draped In black and bearing
the cross. On each side of this atood In
uniform three members, of tho Knights of
Bt John from St. iWenceslaus Bohemian
church. ,
The services commenced with the
solemn chanting of the Office of the
Dead by the assembled clergy, followed by
requiem high mass, in the -presence of the
bishop, who assisted In cope aad miter.
Tho bishop's assistants were Very Rev.
J. Jennette, assistant priest; Very Rev. W.
Kelly, deacon of honor; Rev. J. T. Smith,
subdeacon of honor; Rev. P. Benedict, O.
8. B.; book bearer; Rev. C. Mugtn, candle
bearer.
Very Rev. A. M. Colanerl was . tho
celebrant of the mass, his assistants being
Rev. M. M. Bronsgeest, 8. J., deacon of the
mass; Rev. T. Kalamaja, O. F. M , sub

James Ahearne, censer bearer; Rev. J.
VraneH, Rev. J. Chundelak, Rev. M.
Bronsgeest, 8. J., and Rev. T. Kalamaja,
. F. M., chanters.
Bishop gcannell speaks.
The 'solemn muBlQ of the requiem, the in-
oense, tho brown robes of the Augustinlans
and the black and white of the pries cs and
the Intoned service of the mass produced
marked effect on the congregation.
Bishop Scannell delivered the eulogy. He
said:
Whn a man dies in the prime of life
friends and acquaintances are sensible of
having lncurreu a loss, anu tneir Borrow
is manifested In different ways suited to
their different degrees of relationship or
ot friendship. Anu, if the deceased held a
high position among bis fellow men, if he
was a leader among them, if he taught
them to think and to act arignt, ana, u
by his words and deeds lie brought many
blessinas upon them, he Is widely mourned
and his loss becomes a personal one to
many thousands, and, it may be, to many
millions.
Were Leo XIII a younfrer man at tne
time of his death, some leeling like this
would be ours today. We should feel that
bis work was not yet aone. mat mucn re
mained for him to do, and Uiat It would
be difficult to And another -who would do
that work aa well aa he. But we cannot
today make this reflection. Because, al
though the late holy father ruled the
church,- until almost the last day ot his
life, with consummate wisdom and with
signal success, nevertheless we could not.
In reason, expect from a man of his great
age the unimpaired exercise, for any long
time to come, of those mental powers
which made Uim so illustrious.
Leo Xlll a work was done, ana it was
done well. Only two of his predecessors
only two popes out of 262 sat 4i the papal
chair as long as he, and, strange to vay,
these two were i'eter, tne nrai, ana fiat,
the last, of that , long line.
.' .'- Eqnal to Opportunities.
Leo XIII during his long life of ninety-
three years, as priest, as bishop, as cardi
nal, and Anally as visible head . of the
church, had presented to him opportuni
ties tne very greatest mat couia ue pre
sented to a human being; and it is the
verdict of the world today, and it will be
the verdict of history, that in dealing with
these opportunities he showed himself a
good and great man. And the greatest
oraise we can bestow on anyone is to sav
of him that he was at once a good and
great man. ttucn men are not numerous
in the world. Uood men are tmmerous and
great men are not common, but the men
whom the whole world recognizes as both
good and great are few Indeed. 1
ijuring nis long pontincaie oi twenty-nve
years Leo Xlll devoted all the onera-ie
of his mind to the teaching and guiding and
sanctitying or manxina. i-iae ins uivine
Master, he loved the people and he sousht
by every means to make them better ni
happier. But he' recognized, as all i
men must recognise, that If people r, . i
be happy they must first be good and lual
the observance of the moral law Is an
essential conulllon of happiness for all men
without exception. -
Quidtd by tnia conviction, the ho v father
again and again In his encyclicals and In
his allocutions called upon all men to walk
In the way of God's commandments, and
to render unto Ood what waa (loa n ami
to Caesar what was Caesar's; and in season
and out oi season ne called upon all classes
to observe, in tneir relations with each
other, the principles of justice and of
Christian charity, it may be that his
voice was sometimes, like that of John the
Baptist, a. vclce crying In the wilderness,
but ot this we may be certain that the
world would be today much worse If that
voice had not been raised and that it would
be much better If all men had listened to
and "heeded It.
Defender of Law aad Order.
Without law there can be.no order, with
out order there can be no peace, and
without peace there can be no happiness
for men; and, aa the holy father had at
heart the greater haouinesa ot . men. h.
stood for twenty-five years, before men, the
uncompromising vindicator ana ueienuer of
law and order. Had he not been ta good
man that he was, had he b.n leas for
getful of self and of his own convenience,
less mindful of the duties of his high office,
less concerned for the interests of tiuiti
snd the welfare of others, he would have
temporised and compromised and would
have come to terms witn nis adversaria.
But a truly good man cannot, and would
not if ho could, saenrice principle to ex
pediency. He will speak the truth and do
his duty and leave the consequences to
It is one oi ma cmi uuncuities or the

misinterpreting him. When Pius IX found
fault witn wnai m canou niouern progress
tha world pretended to be pained and
shocked. Statesmen and politic, ans and tha
philosophers ot mat time nexiup me:r hands
and cried: "Behold! the pope condemns
modern progress. What further testimony
do we needT Away with him!" And yet
tha pope was right, for what he condemned
was not true progress, but what might be
more Justly called modern license 'and
modern anarchy. k
Hts Broad Toleralloa.
I have said that Leo XIII was truly a
f ood man. His goodness manifested Itself
a his wide sympathies snd In his broad
toleration. Goodnesa, It la true, Ih never
tolerant of evil, as truth Is never tolerant
of error. Leo XIII waa not tolerant of
evil or .of error, hot he was tolerant of
those who did evil things and of those who
were the victims of error. Like his divine
Master he naa compassion on tne multitude,
lie looked upon all the bad and the good,
the wayward and the faithful as the chil
dren of the one rather who Is in heaven.
When he could not act he suffered In si
lence; when words would do no good he
spoke them not. He had that tact, which
accompanies true Christian charity, of do
ing and saying the right thing at the right
time. . Moreover, there are three things over
which no permanent victory can aver be
gained they are truth. Justice and charity.
Thethletory of mankind Is but the history
of the contest that is ever being waged
between these three forces, or virtues, and
their oppoaitea. And again and again each
of theaa aoems to t worsted In the con
teat, but the defeat la never completa and
la never permanent. Error. Injustice and
brute force seem to gain many a victory
over truth and Justice and charity, but the
victory is only ror a time and la only ap
parent, for even In their hour of apparent
defeat truth. Justice and charty gain a
moral victory. Truth and Justice and char
ity are eternal; they form a part of the
eternal law and therefore they cannot be
obliterated altogetuer from the mind of
nian, - ..
Error may deceive men for a time, but-It
vuuiut wxiti iawu iiii uijuiuwe iii a j
put on the semblance of Justice, but men
will at length penetrate the dtague; they'
will also elurlmriit.h aainxhnena from true
Christian charity, and they will sooner or
imrr give tneir verdict Becoming to mose
eternal principles which sre engraved on
their hearts, and they will offer their
homage to tha man whose life and conduct
nave been regulated by these principles.
The marked succnes of the pontificate of
Leo XI II was mainly due to the fact that
the world recognised rn him a man who
was guided by truth and justice and char
ity. ASRinSt 1M. (h. ,1,1-r. rxt kln.fliiml
and their armies are powerleaa to contend.
ntaiesmen and armies hold no Jurisdiction
over the consciences of men, and therefore
they cannot be the real rulers of men. The
real ruler of men Is he' who rules over
them by means of truth and Justice and
charity, -because him they believe, and
'rust and love. Such a ruler waa Leo XIII.

la t'alrorsal Esteem..
JfJ!" universal esteem is Itself an unde
niable proof of the goodnesa and greatness
or the late holy fatner. The people of one
locality or of one country might be mis
taken in their estimate of a public man, but
the people of different countries, with dif
ferent Interests and different points of view,
could not all be mistaken at the same time.
L.eo waa a good and great man. We have
only one means ot Juuglng a man s great
ness, snd. that la by his life and actions.
Any man who occupies himself with great
problems, whose Ideals are high and noble,
whose sympathies reach put to all the
world, who labors for, others and sacrifices
himself for others Is a great man. Buch a
life la a great life and can be lived only by
great man. it requlrca ft great man to
perform even one great act, tor jtou never
can have any effect without an adequate
cause. But while a great man a merely
great man a man with great powers may
not perform many great actions, to live a
groat life requires a man to be at once good
and great.

That black, catafalque and these black
vestments speak not of greatness, but of
weakness and mortality, and the prayers
W 'r1er up.at th' obsequies speak
not of goodness, but ot frailty and of sin.
In the presence of these things it Is brought

when spoken "of men, are only relative
terms; they only mean that he to whom
they are applied did hts work better than
other men, that he was more generous,
more self-eacrllicing and braver than others
This ceremony telTs that Leo XIII was a
man, in many repects, like the rest of men.
POP he was the head of the church
and spoke In her name and his voice was
obeyed because It spoke with a divine
sanction and because what It aald waa for
pas.ed away he ia treated by the church,
in a great measure, like one of her
ordinary children. Bhe offers sacrifice for
him and prays that God may have mercy

Aa tha result of art attempt on tha part
of an. Independent company to organise and
maintain an Independent telephone aystem
at Lincoln, Neb., tho management of the
Nebraska Telephone company has under
taken to teach ft practical lesson aa to the
value of telephone stock to the telephone
uaera of that city, and at the aame time
plaet tho company on aomethlng of a co
operative basis. In furtherance of - this
plan a letter was Bent to each of the sub
scribers under date of July 23, In which
Casper E. Tost, president of the company,
ays in part:
As an absolutely false Impression pre
vails among some of our subscribers In Lin
coln relative to the profits made by the
Nebraska Telephone company at Lincoln,
and the rates charged, and aa thla ques
tion has a direct bearing upon the matter
ot telephone competition, I want the exact
tacts to ne Known to an our customers.
e e The net profit of our Lincoln ex
change for the year 1902 was 7 2-3 per cent
on the Investment; the actual prolU of the
MenrasKa Teiepnone company in tne state
Is from 7 to 8 per cent upon the actual In
vestment. The stoi-k of our com
pany paya 6 per cent dividends annually.
We reserve the difference between the
per cent and the 7 or 8 per cent to provide
for the hasardoue nature of the business.
As the above statement Is absolutely true
you must agree with us that the returns
which this company makes upon Its In
vestment both at Lincoln and In the state,
at the present rates charged, Is only a fair
one.
Aa Opportune Time.
The attempt at telephone competition at
Lincoln comes at an opportune time. The
Nebraska Telephone company, just now, to
provide for large extensions of Ita plant
thronrhnut the state. Is offering to Its
stockholders IWA000 worth of Its treasury
stock. This stock pays 0 per cent per an
num dividends; $100 Is the par value of the
stock per share. We would like to have
every one of our subscribers at Lincoln who
can do so become Interested with ua, and
thla la to give you such an opportunity. I
have arranged with a certain number of
our stockholdera to forego their rights to
this treasury stock, and 1 am therefore in
a position to enclose you, herewith, form of
subscription. If any of you wish to be
come Interested In our company and own
some of our stock, and thereby make this
telephone matter a mutual one. and you
will, on or before August 1, 1903, send In
your subscription for the amount of stock
which you want to take, I will see that the
stock Is reset ved for you and, delivered to
you at the proper time. You can have only
one share of stock If you want It, but I
should be glad to have you hold more.

AbOnt Telephone Coirtpetitloa.
Enclosed with the circular la a pamphlet
entitled, "Telephone Competition," which
hag been prepared for the use of the com
pany in Lincoln. .Thlir pamphlet takes up
the history of telephone competition and
says that when the first competition was
offered to the Bell company it attempted
to meet it by reducing rates, which in sev
eral, cases were placed below the cost of
operating the plants, and many of the en
changes were . thus put upom a losing
basis; that tha capitalists who had invested
In the Independent k companies' fdtfnd that
they were receiving from the Investment
nothing like the returns prsmlsed by the
promoters, and the business man discovered
that he had to pay for two telephones at
Increased cost and trouble.
The experience of the Independent com
panies at Baltimore, at Pittsburg, at Cleve
land and at Toledo Is recited, and a table
is given showing the number of telephones
furnished by the Bell company and the In
dependent companies at several points in
the United States. This table shows that,
as ft Tule, over halt of the subscribers to
the Independent companies subscribe for
both the Bell and Independent telephones,
and at Fall River, Mass., where-the auto
matic exchange la In operation by the in
dependent company, (87 persona out of VJb
subscribers to the Independent company
subscribe for both. The pamphlet contains
a prophecy to ths effect that when the
measured service system of charges Is
universally adopted the cost to subscribers
will be lowered through the payment by
each person using the telephone of the cost
of the message he sends.
Manager Use Talks.
Mr. Tost la out of the city, but apeaklng
of the Lincoln proposition, Mr. Vance
Lane, manager of the Nebraska Telephone
company .said:
The offer waa made to the people or
Lincoln epeclflcally at thla time for the
reaaon that an . Independent company Is
down there at work. They are making
claim aa to cost of service and profits
which cannot be borne out by facts and
we desired tq show the people of Llcoln
Just what there Is in the telephone busi
ness. We have stock for sale to any one
who wants to buy It, snd white the pro
posal wag limited to Lincoln subscribers
in the circular, any subscriber, or any per
ion, whether a subscriber or not, can' in
vest in the stock. It Is just what wa say
It Is, and la a good Investment, but for
some jeason or other we can sell very lit
tle In Nebraska. Last year wo sold about
1300,000 of stock in the company, but we
had to' place it In Boston. If Nebraska
people want co-operative telephone com
panies they now have an opportunity to
get stock in thla company.
"At ' the same time we do not want to
get them under misrepresentation. The
stock pays annually a per cent, and the
earnings are, we hope, enough more than
that to maintain the line In active oper
ation where it tg now constructed. I think
our showing is a good one from an Invest
ment standpoint, but it fa nothing with ths
statements made by the promoters of some
Independent companies. I wish you would
notice tho pamphlet and that will show
exact conditions. Take especial notice of
the Fall River exchange, for that Is where
extensive claims are made of the success
of the Independent companies. . Here over
half of tho subscribers to the independent
companies use both systems, and this Is
true of almost any place where there ia
competition. Aa to our Lincoln offer, It Is
only made to sell stock and let the people
know the exact conditions of the tele
phone business." -

WITZ A WONDER IN HIS WAY
Man Who Bells Tickets Dow a Towa
' for ningllaga and How ,
H Does It. f
There are many wonderful persons who
do unusual things uncommonly well with
Rlngllng Bros.' shows, but few are mora
Interesting than a man bearing the extended-
patronymic, Witsenhausen, with the
given name of Alfred added for good mea
sure. "Don't try to think of that name,"
be says, "It will give you a headache. Just
call ma Wlta." it is by the latter appel
lation that he Is familiarly known among
the circus people.
He ha a peculiar Job selling ticket
down town for the big shows In tho tents
and he la a past master ot the art There
Is a saying among the Rlngllng Bros.'
business staff that Wits can make anybody
with the money buy a reserved seat ticket,
which la twice the price of general admis
sion. A few minutes' observation of his
work ' beara out the assertion.
It la the line of talk that he throws out
that doea the work. His keen dark eyes
gleam at the line of patrona good-humor-edly
and he doesn't have to look at one
twice to know the kind of a remark that
will cause an extra half dollar to come
spinning to the surface like a cork on
water. He likes to sell, and sell fast- and
fast selling Is what he usually has to do.
He has no time for making elaborate
estimates of the mental caliber of the
man across the counter, but by some
strange Intuition he seems to 'grasp his
weak spot and- fill lii the gap with a dol
lar ticket. It Is all done with a laugh and
a smile and a Joke that Jollies up every
one within earshot.
A large colored woman approached Wlta
the other day while he was selling tlckeu
behind the counter of the Beston Drug
company In Omaha. She was over-dressed
and carried her head at a haughty angle,
She laid down a dollar on the counter and
said, "One seat". "Reserved?" asked the
ticket seller. She replied In the negative,
and he handed her ft general admission
ticket and ft half-dollar, remarking. "Re
served aeata, right In among the ladles.. 1
can give yoff a good one here for 60 centa."
The "right In among the ladlea" caught
the colored woman and ahe apun the half
dollar back with a chuckle. "Of courae,"
she said, and Wits grinned again.
He never loses opportunities to make fun.
An A. D. T. boy with a crisp $1 bill In his
hand appeared. "Two seats," he aald, and
held up tha money.' , "What kind of seats,
my boy?" asked Wlta. "Why, ladles'
seats," replied the lad, remembering hl
customers.
."Ladles' seats, certainly. Especially for
ladies, In the ladles' section, and all for II."
said the salesman quickly, and the crowd
laughed at the Idea. This happened Just
before the colored, woman sent her dollar
and may have furbished the Inspiration.
Witsenhausen came to thla country from
Oermany a good many yeara ago. He went
to work In the cigar factory of a rich unole
In the east, but the Job did not suit him.
He soon learned, English and drifted ' west
to Kansas City, where he found . work
around a theater. . He had been there some
time when the treasurer was forced to leave
the box office one night and somebody sug
gested 'that Wltzenhauaen be rut In. Thla
wa dona and he eod more tlcketa than the
treasurer had In hlk1 palmy daya.' ' Thla
performance' was observed, duly commented
on and he was given a steady place behind
the window. A year or two afterwards the
Rlngllng people picked him op for a down
town salesman and such he has been ever
since, or for eight or nine years.
"Omahana don't take advantage of the
convenience of buying tlcketa downtown
like they do In other cities," he said. "Thla
haa been true for eight year. I think It Is
because some showa charge extra for the
accommodation. However, I am selling
more thl time than ever before."

ST. PAVL. July H.-Whlsky and ayrup
were the subjects discussed by the na
tional convention ot dairy food, commis
sioners today. R. C. Stowell, an attorney
of Islington, Ky., spoke on the whisky side
of the discussion, and Dr. T. B. Wagner,
representing corn production, talked upon
ayrup.
Mr., Stowell aald that after the whlaky
wal placed In bond It waa exactly what It
wa represented to be, aa to purity, but
after the barrel waa opened by distilleries
It wa not aafe to aay whether It waa pure
or not
He aald the distillers would like to have a
law - passed preventing adulteration
and would ' like ' to have the fed
eral government-' pass a ' law re
quiring the bottling ot liquor and paaa It
through bond in that ahape and by ita guar
antee establish It purity. - - .'-
Dr. Wagner's talk 'waa on "Com Pro
duct," and It waa a dsfense of glucose,
particularly corn ayrup. He aald that cane
and sorghum ayrups did not supply one-fifth
of the demand, and therefore corn ayrup
waa the necessary substitute. '-
