To secure life, liberty, and property,

is simply showing respect for rights

equality before the law is involved.

Visiting the Pope.

when / was in Europe said a
Catholic clergyman, II determined
not to leave before | could see Pope
Leo XIII. / had been in Rome sever
al days viewing the sights of the
Eternal city and made the acquaint-
n c of a priest who has the title Of
'Monsignor.' To him | made my
wish known, and he promised to as
sist me in catching a glimpse OF the
head of the church. 1t is IN exceeding
ly difficult matter fora visitorto get q
view Of the holy father. and / consider
that / had goodluck although / did not
have the pleasure of speaking a word
TO rim while taking d walk Or q drive
in the Vatican garden, which Is his
daily custom. My new made acquaint-
ance provided me with the necessary
credentials, and / was told that the
pope would appear in the garden at 2
O'clock that afternoon. presented
myself before the appointed hour, and
after passing the Swiss guard and
showing my credentials several times,
/ found myself for the first time ia my
life in the Vatican garden. need not
describe the beauty of it, as it has
been much written about. There were
only a few of us present, and we anx-
iously awaited the appearance of bis
holiness. Suddenly a mounted cav
alier with a drawn sword, rode through
the garden and carefully scrutinized
all Of us. / did not know what this
meant, but was told afterward that
the cavalier performs this duty prev
ious to the pope's~ appearance to satisfy
himself that there are no enemies
around. 1t will be remembered that an
attempt was made by a Garibaldian to
assassinate the lamented Pope Plus TX.
The would be assassin secreted him
self in the garden after having gained,
acces by soEae sHrreptitious means.
We waited a few minutes when q car
riage drove up to the door and the
pope came out. He Is a venerable APP
pearing man., with an intellectual look
and wore white. His slippers were
cardinal red and gllttcred with mag
nificent jewels. The coachman show
ed profound respect for him and gave
him a short drive. When the pope re-
turned he Immediately went back to
his apartments, but appeared to be
very feeble as he went up the stairs
leading to them. The coachman re-
ceived his blessing after letting him
out of the carriage, but he did not
speak a word to him. We were told
that the pope occasionally walks or
rides out twice a day. When he leaves
the coachman without blessing him il
is q sign that he will come out again,
and the servant is ON hand at 5 o'clock
for the second drive otherwise not.
The coachman has been employed at
the vatican for many years. After
having our wish gratified we were let
out the garden and again had TO pass
the military stationed around tbs
premises. "-Dctroit Free Hess.

When Drunkenness Was A Virtue.

Tie reign of Geroge Ill. OF England
was the most openly dissolute period
in the history of Great Britain. State
officials who had required regulations
for drunkenness were then the most
popular. It was then thst govt at
tanned it's highest degree Of perfection.
Al man who did not rel a split shoe
was only under protest admitted into
the circles of polite society. Sir Philip
Francis, upon awakening at night and
finding himself sober, would immedi-
ately get out Of bed and proceed to get
drunk again. Lord Weymouth, after
spending a fortune and becoming utter
" worthless, was appointed Secretary
Of State in recognition OF his abilities
as q drunkard.

Quorum in the House.
Rpeeial.

bpeclNl,
AUSTIN, Tex. March 29.-Yeeter-
days sensation continues TO be the
subject of comment. A resolution will
be introduced In the house tomorrow
for the appointment Of committee to
investigate the charges against Mr.
Tankersley. The committee report
Diminishing Tryon, clerk Of the
judiciary committee No. 9, will be
adopted.
A GAZETTE reporter interviewed
TFyon this evening and he remarked:
"You can say In THE GAZETTE that il
1 had been offered SIS 900 by Floyd to
kill the bill, would have taken 1t,
but resigned my position as committee
clerk. There would have been moth.
ing dlshonorable in 1t. There are
plenty Of men now here lobbying for a
salary aud nobody finds any fault
with them "
He says that he had several ideas in
regard 10 the matter. One was to
take the money IL Floyd made him .
liberal offer, abandon his official p Jsi-
ton and murder the bill, which he is
satisfied he could have done with
plenty Of money.
Another plan was to get the money
and then expose Floyd.
IL was rumored this evening that
Tryon was prepared to make a
confession which would implioate MIR.
Tankersley, but he declared tonight
that gentleman had nothing to do
with the mater, and that the only
way he ever expected TO influence him
was by osaxIpg him Off to Houston
and thus delay the progress of the
bill.
The conference committee on the
land bill has prepared report which
recommends that the house concur In
the senate amendments until that
fixing the quantity OF land which may
be leased, and also limits the four-sso-
ton provision 10 organised
counties. The committee stood
@ TO 4 against this provision aud
finally compounded by retaining it In
the organized counties. The watered
lands are placed at 81 an acre.
The chan ces are that the report will
be adopted and the bill become law.
The conference committee on the
appropriation bill killed the item Of
$1,000 for summer normal schools and
struck out the appropriation OF $4,000
to refund the purchase money to de.
fendants In the land fraud suits.
Several representatives left for their
homes to-day, and 1t Is feared the
house will not be able to number a
quorum tomorrow, HI there were but
few members TO be spared yesterday.
IL II Is found without quorum the
situation will be extremely awkward,
M the general appropriation
bill 10 not yet prepared, and an extra
session would be rendered necessary.
AT the fair grounds this evening a
large crowd Witnessed the attempt Of
DIR. Carver TO shoot loo bats In
eighty minutes. He finished with
two minutes to spare.
