A PAPAL ENCYCLICAL.
Special Prayers TO BE said aud tn

duIgences Extended During Octo-
Der.
Pope Leo III. recently addressed an encycll-
cal letter to all tho patriarchs, primstes, arch
bishops and bishops OF the Catholic world In
grace and communion with the Apostolic SEQ,
which has been received in this Archdiocese.
After the address OF health and apostolic bene.
diction, the Poniig recalls 10 mind that last
year, by his encycltcal letters, he decreed that
IN all parts OF the Catholic world, In order to
obtain celestial assistance for the sorely tried
church, the powerful Mother OF God should be
honored the month OF October by the recital OF
the most holy rosary. AS the church is still
much tried, ana especially considering the
cholera visitation, says the letter, two think
Il is our duty to exhort this year also tho
Christian people to porsevere IN the mode and
formula OF prayer which Is designated under
the name OF the rosary, in order TO merit the
ef1lcacious patronage OF the powerful Mother
OF God.
'For which reason" continues the letter,
Sat the approach of the month OF October, dur
Ing which tho Catholic world celebrates the
feast OF Our Lady OF the Rosary, we have de-
clded TO renew again the same prescriptions
that we made last year. We established then
and ordained that from the LIST day OF October
I'LL the second day OF November following flye
decades at least or tho rosary, with the lita.
MES, be recited every day In all parish
churches and IN public sanctuaries dedicated
TO the Mother OF God, as also In other churches
TO be selected by the ordinary. II the recital
takes place In the morning It Will be made
during tho celebration OF mass; II 1t takes
will DO exposed TO public alteration, and the
ritual benediction will DO givon to those pres.
ent. We desire, besides, that tho confrater.
mites OF the Holy Rosary, wherever tho civil
laws permit It, make SOLEMN PROFESSIONS for
the honor of religion.
SIN order TO open TO Christian piety the ce.
lestial treasures OF the church we renow all
the indulgsnces which We recorded last year.
To those who, on the established days, Will as.
sist at the public recital OF the rosary and Will
pray for our Intentions, and to all those who,
prevented by legitimate cause Will reclte II
privately, we accord for each time tho indul-
gence before God OF seven years and seven
guarantees. To those besides who, during
the said time, will have accomplished these
exercises ten times at least In the churches,
or, II Just motives prevent them, in their pr.
vate dwellings, and who, having expiatsd
their faults by confession, Will have made
holy communion at the altar, we accord tho
plcnnry indulgence OF their sins Ia virtue OF
the treasury tho church. We accord, besides
this, plenary indulgence and remission OF sins
TO all those who on the feast or Our Lady OF
tho Rosary, or on ono OF the days OF the oc.
taye will have received the aacraments and
prayed for our intention in some church con-
eecrated 10 God and HIS most holy MQLhaBse6"

Two DARKIEs WHO SLEPT Ma
con Telegraph Tough story, but
true one, comes to us from Jones
county. During the visit Of the
cyclone which worked 50 much de-
struction to lives and property,
there we're two little negroes asleep
on a bed in a house on Mr. VIM
Smiths plantation.
The cyclone tore the house to
fragments, and lifting the floor on
which stood the bed containing the
two piccaninnies, carried it a mile
away over the tops of tall trees and
deposited it amid the ruins of an
other house that had shared q fear
tul fate. A tree fell across the
bed, breaking down one end Of It,
and then lightning set fire to the
bedding.
The work Of the storm was SO
great and destructive that the peo-
pie who had secured themselves
were afraid to emerge from their
hiding places for some time; but
one after another finally went out
TO render what assistance they
rould to the suffering. Discover
ing smoke issuing from the debris
Of the negro house, q farmer ran
70 it and saw the burning bed with
