Immediately afterward he receives tho
visits of his court, and Cardinal Jaco-
bini reports what has occurred in the
world, and gives him an account of the
letters received on papal business.
Besides these official letters, others ar.

ton in articulo mortts, which naturally
often only reaches its destination after
the petitioner is already dead. For its
telegraphic correspondence the Vatican
makes use of mineral cipher. The
greater part of the morning is thus
passed in business. At l o'clock the
pope dimes, and afterward retires to
his private room until the heat of the
day is past At 6 P. M. he repairs to
the Vatican garden. where his carriage
awaits him. At the prettiest spot In
this garden there has lately been erect
ed an elegant kiosque in eastern style,

time, taking coffee and other refresh

friends. The conversation runs on the
topics of the day. and ON the articles
concerning the pope or papal politics

journals. Precisely at sunset the party
breaks up. and the pope returns to the
palace, his physicians having advised
him never to remain out of doors after

prevails in the valley below Monte
Mario. At about o'clock, after pray
ing on his knees for half an hour, his
holiness retires to bed.

His $500 Trunk.

There was one man who didn't take
kindly to the late accident on the West
Shore by which doaen or more trunks
were smashed and their contents ruin

to exhibit their checks and make a
statement of damages this man ex-
hibited his piece of brass and declared
that nothing less than $500 would make
him whole.
'Prettr valuable trunk" remarked
the offcial.
"Yes. sir; was going to Europe for

wrecked car to identify what had been
saved. and as the parcels were handed

There was general laugh at his ex-

important Railroad Decision In Dakota.

Judge Mcconnell at Fargo. OAK, ruled
on a very important question. In 1888
the legislature passed law imposing a
tax upon the gross earnings OF the rail-
roads and the real estate. This is in lieu
OF all taxes on other property. The recent
caae was that OF Ramsey County vs. The

Judge Mcconnell holds that the law SIM
ply exempts all land and property used for
railroad purposes, and that town sites
and other speculative property are taxable
in addition to the gross earning tax. This
decision does not affect the Northern Pacif-
ic. as it's land was secured through an act
OF congress and not by purchase.
