WHAT IBOLATI.ON COSTS POPE

The consistency of the popes in cling-ing to their self-imposed isolation Inassertion of their policy is impressive,for it entails their refusal 'of the tri-bute which the kingdom of Italy lawilling to pay out of respect to theirspiritual character. Every year theItalian parliament votes an appropria-tion of $645,000 to be placed at the dis-posal of the pope to maintain his dig-nity, and to bo expended generally forthe maintenance of his court. Everyyear the pope as regularly refuses toreceive his allowance lest Its accept-ance should negative his claim to'be atemporal prince in . his own capital.This process of appropriation and re-jection has been kept up ever since1871, when parliament guaranteed tothe pope and his successors forever theVatican and Lateran and Castel Gran-dolfo, and voted the first allowance.The aggregate of these appropriationsIs now in exoess of $25,000,000, all ofwhich is held subject to the pope's or-der. —Boston Transcript.i,. »

DINNERA good dinner is a work of art; so is

the selection of the time to eat it. InCharleston people dine at 3 In the aft-ernoon or thereabouts, supposedly be-cause some time in the long ago thatsuited the school children, or becausethere were such large families in thosodays that it took the cook that long toget the necessary quantity cooked. InMobile they are glad to dine at anytime, although some of the older andricher families have regular dinnersevery day. In New Orleans those whodine go to the restaurants. In fact,without its eating pjaces New Orleanswould not last a day,, and half the townwould bo bankrupt, However, it Is per-tinent to reniark that some of the bestcooks in the world are down in themetropolis, and they have a way ofcooking ordinary potatoes that makesthem taste lik* orie of Bob Taylor'spromises. — Charleston News andCourier.

Domestic Airships Delight ThousandsOf Pleasure Seekers at Long Beach

rB Long Beach pike, the famous"pay streak," "midway," or what-ever you want to call It, which at-

tracts pleasure seekers from every partof Southern California every day Inthe year, has a new attraction. More-over, It's an attraction such as no otherBummer resort in the world can boast.It is the invention of two Long Beachmen, A. F. and A. T. Smith.

Captain R. L. Bisby smiles everytime ho looks at his famous spiral way,

and all Long Beach has been talkingabout this domestic, eat-out-of-your-hand airship voyage. It looks ratherrisky, the little torpedo-shaped carcircling round and round the tall steeltower above the ocean waves, but ex-

perts who have examined the Bplralway pronounce it fully as safe as anythrill-producer on the market.

Four cars are used, and all after-noon long the whirring of the wheelsand the laughing of the passengers canbe heard. The trip is a bundle ofthrills. Four passengers ran be ac-

commodated In each car. Alittle shoveand the steel chain grabs the airship.You feel yourself being lifted, clearof the platform and up, up, up, untilyou can look down on the long pierand the crowds on the beach. A swiftdip and the voyage is on. Beginningrather slowly, the little airship soonis circling round and round the bigtower at a safe speed. Far beneathlies the beach, while on either side isno visible support. Unless you lookup the trip is a bona fide airship voy-age. A dozen or more times does thecar circle the big tower, and finallyis brought to a stop at the end of the

long incline. "Oh!" you gasp, invol-untarily, and look back at the top ofthe tower, many feet above you.

Although Captain Blsby has had hisspiral way In operation but a shorttime, its fame has spread all over thesouth, and the trip is made dally byhundreds of persons. The tower standsat the east end of the "pike," directly

off the end of Pine avenue. At nightthe dome on the top of the tower,brilliantly illuminated with electriclights, revolves rapidly, and the flash-ing of the lights may be seen for miles.

Without question the spiral way hasbeen one of the biggest business get-ters ever placed on the pike. Despitethe cool weather, it has been a boonto Long Beach, and the merchants ofthe Queen of the Beaches are loud Intheir praise of the spiral way and Itsdaring builder.

THE SPIRAL WAY

HAIRDRESSER WORKS'RICH AUNT' SWINDLE

Frenchman Succeeds in Marrying

Rich Young Woman andThen Deserts Her .

PARIS, July 9.—A hairdresser has

succeeded In perpetrating a cleverswindle at Lille by pretending to be

the heir to a great fortune. His ex-ploits resemble thome of Mme. Hum-bert on a smaller scale.

The hairdresser, who is BO years ofage, established himself In Lille somemonths ago. He had neither money norgood looks, but his manners were plau-sible, and he started his tonsorlal es-tablishment on the strength of a myth-ical Inheritance of two and a half mil-lions, which he expected to get on thedeath of an aged aunt. .

He then announced his wish to mar-ry, and Lille society paraded its mostbeautiful heiresses for him to choosefrom. He selected a charming younglady of twenty-five who was very

rich and very beautiful. Then he,con-fided to a friend—M. Mathieu, . whowas to be his best man— he wasshort of ready money, and Mathieulent him $300. . .„ i\u25a0' \u25a0.

The marriage took place last Thurs-day, and the bride and bridegroom leftfor Paris. Mathieu went with them.After a few days Mathieu and thebridegroom were to call on the bride-groom's aunt, so that the latter mightbe repaid his $300. But on the daywhen the visit was to have taken placethe hairdresser had vanished. .

Then It was found 1 that both thefortune and. the aunt were mythical.The discomfited Mathieu has taken thebride back to her parents. .

LONG BEACH has many features ofwhich she is very proud, and notthe least of these are her banks.

Nothing more clearly shows the re-markable and substantial growth ofLong Beach than Its numerous strong-banking institutions. As the oldest andlargest of our city banks, the NationalBank of Long Beach affords the bestillustration of this growth. It wasorganized in June, 1896, as the Bankof Long Beach, with a capital stock of$25,000. Jotham Bixby, one of the best,known pioneers of Southern California,was its first president, and P. E. Hatchits cashier. Long Beach had then apopulation of 1200 and was purely asummer city. Seven years later (1903)it was converted into a national bankunder the name of the National Bankof Long Beach, and its capital in-creased to $100,000, whl£h has since beenincreased to $150,000. During these four-teen years it has made a steadygrowth, always maintaining its posi-

tion at the forefront of banking insti-tutions, while the great growth ofthe city has caused seven other splen-did banks to be added to its institu-tions. Its deposits are now more than$1,150,000, while Its affiliated institu-tion, the Long Beach Savings Bankand Trust company, also has depositsof more than $1,000,000, and the banksof the city as a whole have a total ofmore than $4,150,000.

The present officers of the NationalBank of Long Beach are: P. E. Hatch,president; Jotham Bixby, first vicepresident; George Bixby, second vicepresident; E. E. Norton, cashier; Wil-liam M. Cook and L. C. Powell, assist-ant cashiers. The rapid and substan-tial growth of this bank and also ofthe city of Long Beach may be largelyattributed to the energy and publicspirit shown by Jotham Bixby and P.E. Hatch, whose lives and means havebeen so freely given for the city's de-velopment.

INSECT WHICH BITS ON ITS EGGSFamily matters, In the case of in-

sects, usually mean only the depositingof eggs in suitable situations for the In-dependent development of the offspring,the parent insects often dying beforethe young appear. The earwig, how-ever, provides a remarkable exceptionto the general rule, for it sits upon Itsfifty or more eggs until they arehatched, Just as a bird would do; and,moreover, if the eggs get scattered, Itcarefully collects them together again.In the early months of the year, whendigging the soil, female earwigs mayfrequently be found together with theirbatch of eggs. At the slightest signsof danger the young, that usually comofrom the eggs, huddle dose to theirrnothor, hiding beneath her body so faras it will cover so large a family.—Strand Magazine.

ONE WAY OF KILLING THEM

He had besought the pharmaceuticalchemist to give him something withwhich he might kill moths, and thepharmaceutical chemist had suppliedhim with camphor balls; but the nextday he was back again, holding someof the fragments of the balls withinhis hand,

"Are yez the same young man phwatsold thim things to me yisterday?" heroared.

"I am," replied the pharmaceuticalchemist composedly. "What's wrongwith them?"

"Phwat's wrong with thim?" repeat-ed the Irate purchaser. "The idea ay

Long Beach RealtyDealers Optimistic

Rice and Patterson Installed inOcean Front Office and Pre-

dict Great Future for CityT. F. Rice and J. W. Patterson, than

whom there nre not two better knownreal estate dealers In Long Beach andwho have been associated In businessat the Queen of the Beaches for thepast seven years, have opened an ele-gant office on the ocean front.

Although both Mr. Rice and Mr.Patterson were Interested In tracts atHuntlngton Beach several years ago,

both realized the possibilities of LongBeach and both prospered with the city.

"I have seen the most remarkablegrowth in Long Beach and an IncreaseIn real estate values which reads likea chapter from Jules Verne," declaredT. F. Rice as he glanced at the ques-

tioner. "Every city sees several"booms." and then of course comes acorresponding slump In values. Wehave passed through such a stage,

and real estate today Is Just beginningto wake up. The next twelve monthsundoubtedly will see great activity Inall kinds of property. There Is, how-ever, no question In my mind but ivhatreal estate in Long Beach Is a goodbuy today. I believed this years agoand made money. Moreover, those whobuy today will not have to wait long

for their profits."The new office of Rice and Patterson

Is located on Ocean avenue, and fromthe windows a wide expanse of oceanmay be seen, ever changing in shadeand color. Although centering theirattention on Long Beach property, bothMr. Rice and Mr. Patterson are heav-ily Interested In Orange county cej-ery lands.

SUBJECT VATICAN TOFRIENDLY CRITICISM

Latin Monopoly in Political Affairs

of Holy See CausesDissatisfaction

ROME, July 9.—The triple difficultyiii which the. Vatican is Involved atthe present moment—with Germany,

with Spain and with Portugal—hasdrawn attention to the lack of knowl-edge of other countries which has forsome time past been characteristic ofthose who conduct the political affairsof the Holy See. It is pointed out byfriendly critics that the great mistakoof the Vatican under the presentregime has been to concentrate allpower In the hands of the Latin ele-ment alone, and to take no account ofthe Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon nation-alities, which "Latins" can only imper-fectly understand. Of the twenty-twocardinals permanently resident inRome, twenty are Italians and theother two Spaniards; of the seventeencardinals created by Plus X, all butone have been "Latins."

Now, for a church which has to dealwith men of many races, this almostcomplete exclusion of the non-Latinrepresentatives is considered unfair.Naturally, under such circumstances,

the Vatican authorities take narrowviews and are accordingly surprisedwhen an error of tact suddenly createsa. storm. In secular governments aminister who has made bad mistakeshas to resign; but Cardinal Merry delVal, despite the criticisms of his pol-icy by other Roman Catholics, goes onunmoved, and he and Cardinal Vives yruto direct affairs as before. Whetherthe Vatican has gained by their meth-ods, so different from those of Car-linal Rampolla, is another question.It is thought here that America

should make a strong and Insistentdemand for two cardinals in the sacredcollege.

HIS HAPPY IDEA

Blankson's medical man told himthat it would be necessary to consulta specialist, but Blankson's soul wasfilled with gloom at the prospect ofparting with the fee.

"What do you think he'll chargeme?" he asked.

"Five guineas for the first visit andone guinea for every subsequent one,"was the reply.

Subsequently a happy idea by whichhe might avoid the payment of theinitial five guineas struck Blankson.Dashing into the specialist's consult-ing room, he exclaimed breezily, as heheld out his hand, "Well, doctor, herewe are again!"— London News.
