THE BBOOKLTO DAILY EAGXJE. HEW YORK, SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 1901. JULIAN RALPH'S LETTER 1111 aaannnHaMiManianqiDMBaiHpMmaBi OUTDOOR SPORTS IN PARIS MERELY TO SHOW FINE CLOTHES Repose and Patience of the European Mind as Exemplified by Lord Rosebery Incomprehensible to Americans Ways of Royalty and Nobility That Are Equally Hard to Understand. AT BAGATELLE, BOIS DE BOULOGNE. DAILY ROUTINE OF THE POPE INCUDES MINI LONG AUDIENCES First stood just in Westminster All that makes picturesque and moving came back to them and for a time these lords before them, who now sell their names to men like Hooley.

who marry music hall girls, who ride in penny omnibuses, djive cabs, grind hand organs and stand two deep around the tables at Monte Carlo, were the feudal chiefs of a day when to be a lord meant something more than the right to put on a red cloak and to sport a feather in one's hat once in twenty years or more. I was reading a book by an Englishman last night, and came to where he said that Americans cannot understand how a great world famous scholar and man of letters should lose his toncue and feel himself in ferior in the presence of a lord, yet such ijq the fact. The fact? Yes, but it is a very mild statement of the fact. I have seen a man of great renown, of famous valor, who has knocked about around and around the world, suddenly seized with what was to me like a strange disease simply because a lord spoke to him. I have seen him stride among men, burly, forceful, rather loud and aggressive, as if human beings were so many little wooden toys in his path until this lord came along and spoke.

Then the masterful man bent low and tuned his voice softly to the key of a woman's and replied to the other man the one with a title in this way "Oh, thank you, my lord," "Yes, indeed, my lord," "Might I be so bold as to ask your lordship whether you have seen to day?" "Oh, thanks, thanks, my lord." I turned away ashamed and sickened. Not for the richest lord's income, I believe, would most of us Americans so degrade and belittle ourselves, and, mark you, I knew the lord in question very well and have had many an hour of pleasant intercourse and sport with him, and I will do him the justice to say that I believe he liked this servility as little as I did. But we must be just to the offender as well and must remember that with his mother's milk he. drew in this strange recognition of caste, this idolatry of a class of living and very ordinary men, this religious conviction that God has divided men into bunches, that each bunch is better than the one beneath it, and that most of the bunches are better than the one to which he unhappily belongs. A harsh critic of the country puts it in this way: "Every Englishman licks the polish off some other Englishman's boots, but the game is a fair one in his eyes because he knows that every Englishman has another Eng lishman whom he can kick." That is a brutal way of describing the merely full development of what I suppose is a general human failing, for we all have some sense of caste, whether we are Bedou ins, Guinea negroes, Eskimos, or whatever.

Nations are, after all, like individuals and each must be allowed its idiosyncrasies. Lord Roberts is rendered miserable by the presence of a cat; Cecil Rhodes is disturbed and even angered when one of his lieutenants falls in love or marries; the King of Greece will not take off his hat in public because he is ashamed of the shape of his head. Then allow my Englishman of whom I spoke to lose his nerve in the presence of a lord and let us say simply: "Poor chap, It's the way he was built." In Vienna the other day I met a very chipper and confident member of Congress, who was there in the interests of the coming world's fair in St. Louis. He said he was going to try to induce all the crowned heads of Europe to attend that most glorious exhibition': The King of England and the Kaiser of Germany he was quite certain of already.

I wished him well and kept my thoughts to myself, but, as I have already said in these letters, royalty is a thousand leagues more widely separated from the nobility in its own lands than the nobles are separated from the people. If the Congressman gets within gunshot of most of the sacred wearers of crowns I shall be surprised, and if he bags a single one of them and brings him to America I shall be certain that it can only have been done as a political move dictated by the best counsels of the state. When we in America read the French as. eertion that the Emperor William had written a letter to the Prussian: military attache I think that was the story In connection with the purchase of French military secrets, we most of us heard the statement as one that might or might not be true. In Europe, on the other hand, it did more to acquit Captain Dreyfus in the general opinion and to convict the French of either Insanity or blind malevolence than anything else connected with the scandal.

This was because all Europe knew that a monarch would not one might say could not write a letter to an ordinary unroyal individual. "Why," the mass of Europeans argued, "the French have had such parvenu monarchs and have been so long without one who has the true instincts of a ruler by divine right that from France, when Charles beneath where they sat. Hall, on trial for his life. English history gorgeous. POLO they actually do not know how genuine royalty behaves." That was a very remarkable performance of Edward VII in sending a telegram of condolence to Mr.

Hay upon the death of his son. Victoria wrote to Mrs. Garfield and even to General Tracy when he lost his wife in so terrible a manner, but nothing could, have induced the Czar or Kaiser or Franz Joseph to write to these persons. England is a semi republic, her monarchs partake of the liberty that is the proudest boast of their subjects, but even they' have only writ ten such letters to Americans and this has been done solely because of the politics of the situation. When Humbert was shot, when Rudolph of Austria killed" himself with his mistress, Victoria doubtless wrote letters to the widows, but you may be sure she wrote no letter to Herbert Bismarck on his father's death or to the widow of the distinguished Prussian minister who died a year ago.

A monarch who never takes off his crown in public or private (to use a metaphor) and who never forgets that his. chair is a throne is old Francis Joseph of Austria. In public processions and pageants he has never once been seen to speak to the. equerry or other ofllcer who sits beside him in his carriage. He missed getting a friend in his unfortunate, eccentric wife Elizabeth and failing in that he has gone through life without friend, confidant or companion.

A year ago at the conclusion of the autumn maneuvers of his army he addressed the officers and said that all had gone off perfectly, "thanks to my friend General naming the aged chief of the general staff. For weeks the Austrian and Hungarian newspapers were occupied with discussions of this speech, for never before in more than fifty years of rulership had the emperor used the word friend or any phrase which implied that he had a friend on earth. My, what a miserable life, what a wretched man! I cannot help thinking. His is the stiffest court in Europe, as you know. There titles rank as very little and the age of a title ranks above all else.

A baron whose barony is 700 years old is a seven times better man in that court than a count whose title, though higher, was only created a century ago. The Australian Rothschilds have succeeded in getting a junior member of the family admitted to court. He is the only Jew who is or ever was thus distinguished. But his relatives cannot attend court with him and if he were married his wife would be ex eluded. I spoke of Prince Rudc lDh the old man's only son.

After his death his widow married a Hungarian count and what do you suppose happened? Though she was born royal a daughter of Leopold of Belgium she was bereft of her royal rank and title and excluded from the court. She has a daughter who remains a. princess and lives with the Austrian royalties. This girl was ill not long ago and the mother called at the palace to see her. Not without difficulty she obtained permission and went in but her husband was refused admittance and had to cool his heels outside.

If the. game is to be permitted to go on, the Austrian way is the only way to plaj? it for all there is in it, even to the utmost brutal strictness with its own flesh and blood. But how does it all sound and seem to us Americans? JULIAN RALPH. PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACH PLAY. The city no longer lets all Its children slip out of its hands for months at a time, says a writer in the Century.

In summer it puts their books away, but, improving their bodies, stimulating their minds, speaking to their hearts and fostering their social instincts, it continues their training in good conduct. This, indeed, is a step in a new direction. What would the fathers of our public school system have thought of the term "organized play?" It is a new term, but, thank God. it is already a commonplace. CHOPPING HIM OFF.

Seldum Fedd Honestly, boss, I don't know' where me. next meal Is comln' from Citizen(gruffly) Neither do It Is certainly not coming from me! Puck. a Eagle Bureau 53 Rue Cambon. ARIS, August Up to the present time, French society women, and French men, too, for that matter, have not taken up outdoor sports for the sake of sport. There is always an other motive beside tho benefits of exercise and open air that spurs the French to athletic exercises.

Fashion has much to do with it. The pretty tableaux they, make on the green, the men In white flannel, bright ties, ja.unty straw hats, the women in linen, lace, printed mou3 sellne gowns, with the bread brimmed leghorns trimmed with appropriate flowers and gauzes, add much to the wish to give themselves up to exercise, which will be sure not to wilt the gentlemen's collars and not damage the women's lace ruffles, which trail on the grass. The women wear tailor made suits for outdoor sports to a certain extent, but they are the tailor made suits that American women don to go to teas, to luncheons, to afternoon receptions very tight fitting, disclosing the figure to the best advantage, trimmed in the latest styles. Very few girls and no women would condescend to exercise a corset, or at least a tight under waist. The development of the muscles is hardly ever the object in view; it is the esthetic appearance a woman will mnke while she has a tennis Tacquet or a golf club in her hand.

To case their consciences and to allow themselves to think they are doing something useful in their sporty dress parades, they giye seances for tho benefit of a benevolent society or for a charitable object of some kind. Then an admission is charged for outsiders, who flock to behold the society dolls do all sorts of antics in their best bib and tucker. Several of these were given recently at Bagatelle, in the Bois de Boulogne, and one In the Bois de Vincennes, where the society women showed off pet animals to the laughing crowds. The island of sport and elegance in the Seine is the Island of Puteaux. Its sur roundings are not as elegant as if it were situated near the Bois de Boulogne; hut the members of the club do not look beyond its borders, and they are lords of all they survey on their land.

The narrow river is crossed in the prettiest of skiffs, upholstered like a drawing room chair, with an awning to give shelter from sun and rain, and, alighting oa the island, one could imagine one's self stepping into the Elysian Fields, for nothing is to be seen but well kept, well swept lawns, parterres of flowers, bowers overrun with vines, beautiful pavilions, all shaded by the highest and sturdiest of trees, of which those a century old are considered very young. Through the trees, through the bushes, are to be seen men and women playing golf, tennis, croquet, battledore and shuttlecock, all looking as if none but tho most ideal atmosphere ever surrounded this enchanted island, knowing that they are set oft by the beautiful surroundings and well dressed neighbors, the members of the club attitudinize and look more to grace in their play than to the development of muscle. The Vicompte Leon Janze has been almost twenty years fitting the island into a perfect spot of sports and comforts. It would delight even an American, who is used to all the modern improvements in a house. to see how perfect the arrangements are In tne pavilion of this island.

The dressing rooms are cozy and clean. The women's rooms are on the first floor, the men's on the second. Every member has a locked clcset for his clothes, his implements for the vari ous sports. Within convenient proximity are the bath rooms, beautifully fitted up with snower baths and corners Cor rubbing down Close by are the resting rooms, in which the sofas and lounging chairs are, perhaps too alluring, for they induce one to rest too long in a club where activity ought to bo the word. Naturally, there is a cafe and restaurant where all tho American drinks which are now considered the great panacea for thirst and all the delicate viands which a fastidi ous person could desire, after having excited his appetite with sports not so exciting as to have taken away a refined appetite.

There are 1,200 members of this club, all, naturally, belonging to the aristocratic class of society. Some artists are also members, among whom is Mr. Bridgman, the painter, who lived many years in Brooklyu. The Island of Puteaux is a lovely place for a dinner party and a few weeks ago they were Innumerable, for all tho French and foreign ers, after they have been initiated into the delights of dining out of doors, never want to dine elsewhere wheu it is pleasant. Do you know what the word "gymkhana" means? It seems hard enough to be Greek.

Whatever It may mean, that is the name a certain garden party goes by, a party in which a lot of the most amusing races take place and which must have had their origin In Paris, for nowhere else would the ideas have occurred to women to race with their pet animals. Money is always wanted for benevolent objects and people at the head of societies cudgel their brains to get up attractions which will tnduce the rich to take a few gold pieces out of their pockets for some charity entertainment. The Croix Rouge, a society that occupies Itself in tending the wounded In war time and does some active work in time of peace to make a few bills of ten thousand francs organized this gymkhana in the Bois de Vincennes. Among tho attractive numbers of the programme was one called "The Race After the Rose," run by the most handsome officers of the army. One of tho officers, on horseback, TOWER CHALET.

with a ribbon rosette and ends tied to the left side of his coat, rides around a race track, Jumps obstacles, goes at a quick or a slow pace, while his chief concern is to prevent his brother officers, who are jriding in an opposite direction, from snatching tho riooon rosette. Then came a psocesston of little chHdren all dressed in white and colored ribbons. driving carts, trimmed with natural flcWers, drawn by the loveliest of donkeys, all drfessed in bells and ribbons, as thev are seel in Spain and Italy. The beauty of this proces sion is teat the children and the carts ere smaller as they follow each other and the1 last was drown hv riuuuueu nine dog and contained a smartly dressed doll, taking on a Jot of airs. After a spirited race of dogs belonging to tne officers, in which there was a lot ot barking, running, jumping on the part of the dogs, who had colored bows on their collars, as jockeys wear colored Jackets to distinguish them, and a tremendous shout by each master, who was anxious for his dog to obtain the prize, came the great attraction of the fete, a race of the pet animals of French society women.

Ot course, the slower the animal went, the more amusement it afforded the spectators. There were different distances which fast and slow animals had to reach. For instance it was not expected that tho turtle of the Countess d'Andigne would reach the goal as soon as Mme. de Vallois' rabbit. Nothing comical ever given in a theater excited so much laughter as this original race.

Just imagine elegantly dressed women holding up their lacy, filmy dresses with one hand and leading a funny animal by a string with the other, trying to reach a goal. Mme. Jouf froy had a tamo rooster, Mme. Marcotto a strange guinea pig, with such long hair about its eyes that they were invisible; Mile Lepage, dressed all in white, was dragging a white duck by means of a white string; the Countess Guy de Cherisey, dressed in black, led a tame black sheep. All started at the same time, but for a few minutes the turtle and the rooster were the only ones who minded their mistresses and went on.

The guinea pig began to scratch its head, the black sheep to "baa," doubtless crying, in the sheep language, that it wanted to go home. The white duck pulled with all its might the other way from which Mile Lepage wanted to lead it, and then took to running the race so suddenly and so fast that it dragged its mistress on her knees. The Countess de Naleeche's pigeon flew upward instead of forward. Finally, the guinea pig after scratching his head like a person much iU doilbt. ahnnf a hat he reached the goal and won the prize The Rev.

Dr. Charles J. Young, pastor of the Church of the Puritans, la. New York City, after traveling for five weeks in different parts of England, will remain ten days in Paris. The doctor, when he registered at the Eagle Bureau, said he had already dined wit General Horace Porter, the United States Am1 bassador to France.

They were delighted to see each other, as they have been close friends for twenty years. At the time of the assassination of President Garfield both were living in Elberon, N. and it was there that Dr. Young baptized the General's daughter On leaving Paris, Dr. Young will visit Ireland and the lnlrn wi augiuuu, wmcn ho vBs not able to see on his previous lorn; trip.

Mrs. J. Vogt Smith and her daughter. Miss C. Vogt Smith of Newport, R.

came to Paris by way of Boulogne, and will remain a neeit in tne French capital, then will visit Strasbourg, go through Germany and come back to Paris by way of Brussels and start home on September 3. The Misses Gertrude and Hermine Kasebier of Brooklyn and Miss Frances Washington Delehanty, from New York after a pleasant stay in London, have made up their minds to stay a whole month in Paris, after which they will make a tour of Germany. John Hill Morgan of Brooklyn was glad to get away to Europe for a rest. He landed at Liverpool and proceeded almost immediately1 to London, whera. he had a most interesting time attending a session of the British Parliament.

Mr. Morgan was just about to leave when he encountered Judge Bartlett and his friends, whom he know. lie came back in the afteinoon to take final leave of the Eagle, and that night was on his way to Switzerland to join an old schoolmate ou a trip through that country. Mrs. Emily M.

Fischer, with her two sons, Adolph E. Fischer and Dr. Oscar F. Fischer, all from Boston, have gone through Bremen' Berlin, The Hague, Amsterdam and Brussels before coming to Paris. Adolph Fischer left America with his mother on June 24, and joined Dr.

Fischer in Germany, as he has, until recently, been taking a post graduate course in medicine in Vienna. They will next visit Switzerland. William Ray of Grand avenue, Brooklyn, after a short stay in Loudon, came to Paris for a week, to see as much as he can in that time. When he leaves Paris Mr. Ray will rejoin his family in Cambridge, England, and will leave for home from Liverpool on August 2S.

Mrs. Ray and daughters will then leave England for Switzerland, and come back to Paris previous to their return home. Judge WMlard Bartlett and Mr. and Mrs. Francis L.

Ames have just arrived in Paris after a trip through Italy and Germany. Mrs. Zerega, with her" two daughters, the Misses Christine and Inez Zerega, with two other Brooklynites, the Misses Elise Gratty and Margaret Coppell, are in Paris for three weeks. They afterward go on a tour to Switzerland and leave for America in September by way of EMMA BULLET. TOO 2IUCH MONEY IN STEEPLES.

A church economist of a practical and some what eccentric turn of mind has estimated that nearly $45,000,000 has been invesUd in non productive, non essential and purely ornamental church buildings in. this couii try, chiefly in tho form of steeples. If this feature of ecclesiastical architecture were dispensed with, according to hie estimate, and the amount represented in steeples aloae turned into the regular channels of church beneficence, the religious denominations would be relieved for a long time to come of the necessity of' making frequent and imperative demands for money for the support of their mission boards and other established agencies for promoting: religious work.

A NEW NAME POB, IT. "My wife was up doing missionary work early tbi3 morning." "No!" "Yes. She was looting Cleveland Plain Dealer. tar pocket." pNDON, August Could there be to us Americana a more complete example of the repose and patience of the European mind than the course of Lorl Rosebery in waiting al most five years to explain why he resigned the leadership of the Liberal party? For five years he has been accused of being a triller and a dilet tante in politics, because, after his brief pre miership and the defeat of.

the Liherals, he threw up the leadership and went back to his WinVo nnrt hi isurelv careless life. Now he tells us that his party was so torn by dis agreeing factions that Gladstone foresaw the impossibility of its keeping up a proteose of harmony or solidarity and goes at length into 1,1. ovnoT ioTino nnrl oDinlons in a way that proves that too many Liberals accept Dr. rfofinitinn of patriotism as "the last resort of a scoundrel." You must have often heard that as soon nn American becomes acquainted with En glish politics he is almost certain to side with the Tories. It is a fact and Lord Rosebery makes clear to all who have read his speech why we reach so strange and unlooked for a sympathy.

In a short speech the picturesque Earl redeemed himself and once again assumes a very great figure in public life. Seldom has it been given to a man to speak so wisely and dispassionately, for though his treatment of his own party shows it to be in a hopeless plight, he nevertheless holds up the Tory party to public damnation for its remissness. He shows that the Tories have wholly neglected burning questions at home to concentrate all their efforts in the prosecution of a war which they have sadly bungled. It seems to me, as a man up a tree, that if you want to know just how to view the Transvaal war fairly you have but to read Rosebery's speech. There you will find all that can be said either for the Boers or for the English.

There you will find the Jameson raid condemned as it should be, there you will learn that no excuse can fairly be offered for the dishonest or disingenuous course of the special commission which whitewashed the government to conceal its share of blame for the raid. But there you will also read that the moment the Boers invaded Capo Colony there was nothing for England but war and having begun that war she must pursue it to the end. Enough of that. My text is Europe's noblemen and monarchs. Here again Rosebery comes in.

Do you notice with what calm assurance he declines to reassume the lead ership of his party when no one is heard asking him to be the leader? Yet he 13 right. Ho knows that there is continual pressure upon him to take up the reins and that if he agreed to do so to morrow, old Harcourt, Bannerman, Asquith, Morley, iBrlce every Liberal in the turbulent fold would cheer and exult. Why? First, because he is a lord; second, because he is the ablest lord on that side of the fence; more than, all, because he is a lord of very high and ancient pedigree. Most of the other Liberal lords smell of beer or factory oil or newly got money, and have naturally no such broad views or deep learning or statesmanship as Rosebery. But even as a mere lord, Rosebery suits my text.

No man except a lord, or a Gladstone, could possibly say that he would not lead a party which already has its leader. Any man but a lord would certainly provoke either anger or ridicule by such assurance. Every English newspaper described the trial of Earl Russell by his peers as a "magnificent spectacle," an "impressive scene," or in some such superlatives. They were within the truth in doing so, for the assembly was gorgeous, impressive and even sublime in their eyes. 'Whether we Americans would have been thrilled and impressed by it is quite another matter.

I do not believe many of us would. We have not been born and educated to look up to one class of men as either any better or very different from ourselves, and with regard to this trial of the bigamous lord, I found it difficult at first to understand how the men of his cla.ss who, after all, are reasonablo beings, like unto ourselves could descend to the petty claptrap stage device of making themselves look like so many performers in one of Irving's tragical performances at the Lyceum Theater. For, to tell the solemn truth, thespectacle was merely one of costume, and the costuming did not begin to come up to the standard of a well got up comic opera at the Casino in New York. Scores of men were dressed in red, barred with ermine and touched here and there with gold embroidery, and each carried a cocked hat in his hand. The lung's judges were costumed in other less striking ways.

Sir Francis Jeune being seen in black and White. Four dukes were nearly entirely in ermine, and then, further to diversify the scene, the man called Black Rod, the other man called Norroy King at Arras, and two or three other distinguished attendants and henchmen of the court appeared in pure medieval dress, breeched only to the knees. buckled, gartered and wearing picturesque headgear and. great embroidered royal coats of arms sewed on their fronts precisely as a Chinese noble of to day wears his insignia of rank. The real splendor of the scene was more in the noble gallery, with its rich carvings and gorgeous stained glass picture windows than in the lords themselves.

To us Americans it would have been a queer and an amusing rather than an awe inspiring and gorgeous show could we have seen it. I say that 1 marveled that, men of great intelligence and minds broadened by travel and adventure could thus contribute their persons and presence to such a puppet show. I wondered that they did not all, as with one voice, insist upon trying their guilty cousin in plain citizens' dress such as they wear at homo and in the streets, the cars, the theaters and wherever they go. But I only wondered because I was a foreigner and had forgotten what the English are and what they llke. I had only to wait for the next day's papers and in half an hour I understood the lords had acted in obedience to a silent but insistent popular voice which has cried out for this sort of thing as a tiny babe cries for the breast that gives it life.

The newspaper reporters were all Englishmen and they laid bare their English hearts with the same simple frankness with which the lords had put ou their out of date finery. Not one reporter among them all was able to get upon the bed rock of f.ict and describe the affair as the trial cf a man for felony by a lot of other fellow citizens of the quasl repub lic. No, they were all "thrilled." They saw not merely the criminal Russell on trial, but they re witnested all the trials of noblemen lc history, they saw again the death of Chatham in that very building, they revived the cenos where Richard Third put on his crown and Henry. Fifth came back victorious mm mm down rules to be followed under the trying circumstances. Cardinal Perraud, Bishop of Autun, has formally resigned his office of superior general of the of the Oratory, his eminence being unwilling to assume the responsibility of the demand of authorization required by the new law.

The congregation will be administered by the present vicar general. The bishop of Piacenza, Italy, Mgr. Scala brini, founder and superior of the Missions of St. Raphael for spiritual assistance and protection of Italian immigrants in foreign lands, sailed from Naples for New York on the steamship Liguria, July 20, where he will remain until October to establish a house of refuge and an information office for Italian emigrants. He will hold assemblies with missionaries stationed in America and as soon as practicable will summon from Piacenza twenty five sisters to take charge and direction of the Italian schools to be founded in various cities of America.

After his return to Italy, Mgr. Scalabrini will go to Brazil to visit the orphan asylum for Italian children in San Paulo, founded by Italians and subsidized by the Brazilian government to the amount of IG.000 lire' annually. Bishop Scalabrini has furthermore Interested the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs in this orphanage, obtaining therefrom a subsidy of 100,000 lire. There are several agents here to promote Italian immigration to America. The Court of Exchequer duly registered the decree approving the regulation for executing the emigration laws.

The document mysteriously disappeared while under examination by the Council of State. Consequently, many of its provisions are prematurely made public. Ap investigation has been set on foot. The personnel of the new office for protection of emigrants have been all selected namely, a chief commissary (Senator Bodio), three vice commissaries, respectively from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, from that of Agriculture and Commerce, and a professor of me university oi uenoa; four inspectors for foreign lands, whose duty it will be to visit and oversee the principal centers of Italian immigration and report on their condition. Two of these inspectors will be stationed in South America, one in North America and one in Europe.

There will be two other classes of inspectors one for surveillance at the points of embarkation, to be selected from the police force, the other for sanitary inspection, to be recruited from marine physicians, who will accompany emigrants during the voyages. The superior general of the Congregation of Priests of the Resurrection, the Very Rev. Paul Smollikowski, has sailed from Naples for America to visit the houses under his sway in Chicago, Canada and elsewhere. The chapter general of the congregation was held recently in Rome, under presidence of their protector. Cardinal Parocchi.

The Pope has confirmed the nomination by the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda cf the Right Rev. Mgr. Michael Kelly, rector of the Irish College, Rome, as coadjutor, with right of succession, to his Eminence Cardinal Morau, archbishop of Sydney, Australia; the neo bishop will receive episcopal consecration In the Church of St. Joachim, August 15, from the hands of Cardinal Satolli. He is the second rector of a pontifical college in Rome to be raised within the last fow months to the honors of a mitre.

The successor of Mgr. Kelly In the rectorship of the Irish College in Rome win be tne very Rev. w. J. Murphy of the diocese of Dublin.

The first anniversary of the assassination of King Humbert I passed off quietly. July 29, every precaution having been taken to insure public tranquillity. The garrison of Rome was largely reinforced and the police contingent doubled, supreme command being assumed by the chief of polico in person. Several well known anarchists, one hailing from Paterson, N. were locked up.

The king, queen and queen mother, with all the members of the family of Savoy, save the Princess Clotilde Napoleon, and the Duke of the Abruzzi, who represented his majesty of Italy at the laying of the corner stone of the expiatory chapel in honor of King Humbert at Monza, July 29, returned to Rome for the national commemoration of the murdered monarch, to take place that day in the Pantheon. The grand funeral ceremonial' celebrated in the Pantheon was largely attended by military, civil and government dignitariea. The solemn mass of requiem was that composed by Professor Sgambati in 1S96 1897 for the funeral of King Victor Emanuel II, with the exception of two new solos added by that composer, and magnificently rendered by the famous baritone, Mattia Battistini. Professor Sgambati led the orchestra, composed of fifty two musical professors, a violin soloist and a choir of eighty voices. At 5 P.

M. the grand national pilgrimage of more than 100,000 persons moved from Via Solferino, with bands and handsome banners. A commemorative meeting, with several popular orators, took place in the Theater Adriano. On July 31, Rome was twice visited by scarcely perceptible shocks of earthquake, causing no little apprehension, in view of the excessive heat, coupled with the rather extraordinary state of the atmosphere during the last few days. ROMULUS.

i EKTBANCE TO LION OME, August 3 Though the excessive heat now prevailing precludes the daily, visits of the Pope to the Palazzina in the Vatican Gardens, nevertheless he occasionally ventures thither, especially on Thursdays and Sundays. The Pope has introduced a variation in the usual routine of service; Each time he passes the day in the Casino of People Leo IV he entertains at luncheon those of his immediate household on service near his person. The first guests were his two medical attendants, Professors Mazzoni and Lapponi, with other officials; the second time he entertained the papal grand chamberlain, the steward of the apostolic palaces, the pontifical carver (Sealco segreto), whose office it is to preside at all the papal repasts, his holiness' private secretary, and the noble guards on duty for the day. The lunch is served in one of the rooms of the Casino, the Pope who remains in his private apartment being represented by one of the superior ecclesiastical dignitaries present, or by his nephew, Count Camillo Pecci, colonel in the noble guard. The Holy Father, who, according to rigorous etiquette, invariably takes his meals in solitary state, though always a small eater, has of late years reduced his meals to tSe" bare limits of necessity.

Having no teeth and a weak digestion, he has a special cuisine. Each morning chocolate, milk and slightly cooked eggs are brought to him. The kitchen is on the floor beneath the papal apartments, communicating therewith by means of a private staircase. The dishes are first taken to the pantry "credenziera" and subsequently consigned to the confidential domestic who is stationed in the antechamber and who alone serves Leo XIII at table. A wicker basket contains a simple copper platter, the forks, spoons, knives and napkins all bearing the initials S.

A. P. (Sacred Apostolic Palaces). Then come the dishes. At present the Pope takes re'eiilni iv basin of broth, which forms the orincinai part of his nourishment, the rest consisting of croquettes of very finely minced meat or cniGiien, eggs, wen cooked vegetables and oyer ripe fruit.

He is very rarely served with coffee. He drinks a very little excellent red wine, furnished bim by some nuns of Bordeaux, which he weakens with a little light white wine of Grottaferrata. The so called Casino of Louis IV, a portion of the remains of the ancient Leonine city, is icuuctu io cwo large towers, one of wnictt was long since appropriated by Leo XIII for the Vatican observatory. The other has been rendered inhabitable for his use. Its situation on the apex of the hill permits magnificent view of the Roman campagna, while the free current of air on all sides and the thickness of the walls mitigate the internal temperature.

However, as It contains but one large circular room, it was necessary to furnish more space for the Sovereign Pontiff. Accordingly, a small palace, something like a castle, with crenelated side wings, was constructed beside it after the plans of the late architect, Count Vespigniani. The building consists of a ground floor and one upper story, the former containing the kitchen and servants' rooms, the latter dedicated to the use of the Pontiff and his attendant prelate. One of the halls of this tiny apartment is hung in red silk and decorated with several paintings by modern artists. A winding staircase leads from the pontifical apartment to the circular hall of the tower, the ceiling of which bears the twelve signs of the zodiac.

This tower has two windows, one looking southward, giving a charming view of Villa Pamphlly; the other facing the east, overlooks the Vatican gardens. A third window, looking toward the north was closed, ana in the deep recess of the thick wall a couch is placed for the afternoon siesta of his holiness. The entire furniture of the sitting room of the Holy Father consists of a writing table and some few arm chairs, evidently selected from the most antiquated storehouses of the sacred palaces. The approach to the palaz zina is by a vast square, shaded by enormous trees, whose advanced age is shown by their huge trunks. Here the Pontiff is wont to walk in the cool of the afternoon, enjoying the splendid panorama of Rome, nestling in the encircling hills and the sunny Tuscan mountains.

The Pope is of late more than usually gay, as all who approach him familiarly can testify. Pontifical audiences are numerous of late. Beside those necessarily granted to diplomatists accredited to the holy see, his holiness has, on various occasions, admitted to his presence groups of as many as fifty persons, temporary visitors to Rome, among them Catholics of all nationalities, including Americans. Archbishop Cbapelle, delegate apostolic to the Philippine Isles, had a private papal audience a few days since, likewise the newly elected prior general of the Order of Servites of Mary, Very Rev. Pellegrino Stagni, for many years professor of philosophy in the Urban College of Propaganda and since 1S95 procurator general of his order.

The physical condition of the Pope may be gauged from the fact that two days since ho held numerous and important audiences from 8 A. M. to 2 P. M. without experiencing any extraordinary fatigue.

The Pope is said to be engaged on a letter to the Italian episcopate, protesting against the possibility of a law in favor of divorce, reported to be warmly supported by Premier Zanardelli. The projected law meets small favor with the nation at large, as voiced in the press of almost every political color, save the Socialist organs. His holiness has further addressed a secret communication to the Episcopate of France, relative to the new law against religious and has sanctioned the instruction, of. the Sacred Con gregailoa' of Btehops and Regulars, laying LION TOWER VATICAN PALACE..
