The Pope, now seventy eight years old, leads
a very regular life, and is in a fair condition of
health. At 6 A. NJ. he celebrates mass in his prl-
vate chapel At he breakfasts on a cup OF
chocolate and milk. with sometimes raw eggs
beaten up Immediately afterwards he receives
the visits of his court. and Cardinal Jacobini re-
ports what has occurred in the world, and gives
him an account of the letters received on papal
business Besides these official letters, others
arrive from all parts of the world, mainly from
priests, missionaries, monks and nuns, while
others contain sums OF money from penitents,
and many are petitions for blessing, pecuniary
aid or advice.
After these letters in all languages have been
translated and their contents briefly reported TO
the Pope, they are placed in the papal archives
Hundreds of kilograms also arrive each day, the
greater part asking for benediction in articulo
morris, which. naturally, often only reach their
destination after the petitioner is dead. AT
o'clock the Pope dimes, and then retires to his
room TO rest until the heat of the day is past.
At P. NJ. he repairs 10 the Vatican gardens,
where his carriage awaits him. Sometimes he
prefers to walk, and to rest in an elegant East
ern kiosk, which has recently been erected on
the prettiest spot the gardens, where he takes
coffee and ices. surrounded by his intimate
friends. Precisely at sunset the party breaks
up and the Pope returns to the palace, as his
physicians have forbidden him to remain out of
doors after that hour account of the malaria
which prevails in the valley below Mount Mario.
At o'clock, after half an hour spent in prayer,
the Pope retires to bed.

Property in Dogs.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In your "City Briefs" this morning you speak
of the recovery of my lost dog by good detective
work. My object in addressing you now, IN the
interest of all owners Of dogs. is to call atten-
ton to the illegal" fact, if fact it is. that dog is
not property under the common law of Indiana.
consequently his theft is not felony. / was de-
MED assistance by the superin tendent of police,
backed by the decision of the city prosecuting at
torney on the above ground, and the 'impres-
sons,' or Opinions" of several lawyers / in
tervIewed were to the same effect and found
gentleman MIR Todd, at Woods drug store)
who had had his similar dog case thrown out of
court on that ground. All this in spite of the
fact that dogs taxed by the State and Ii
censed by the city-seemingly proof enough
that dog is property. My dogs check is num-
bered in the 1000; that is, the city has received
since June over 3d. 900 from dog licenses. and
yet refuses to protect single dog owner in the
recovery control of his dog
My researches have satisfied me- however
that dog is property, and that the police and
court must recognize that fact A supreme
court decision has been handed down that covers
the matter fully. The simple fact that thing
is taxed ought to be proof enough for any man,
except lawyer that that thing is property.

KIDNAPPING case About two years ago Fred
Shafer, stawart young farmer of that town
ship, separated from his wife, as he alleged, on
account of her outrageous temper. Tsey had
one child, beautiful little boy. Mrs. Shafer
kept the child and went to live with NJ D. Null
len (nicknamed Demon" Mullcn> and his son
Frank, as housekeeper. A few days ago SIafer
went to Mullen's nd tried to steal the child, but
was detected by his wife, who drove him away
by throwing rocks at him. He drew a revolver
and pointed it at her, but did not fire. only wish
ing to scare her. But as she did not scare, and
continued her fusllade of stones, he finally beat
retreat. Young Mullen at once had
him arrested for assault with a deadly
weapon. and on examination he was placed in
Jail to await the action of the Circuit Court, be-
ing unable to give bond. In return. he now
charges his wife and Frank Mullen with adul
terry. and they, being unable to find bail. are now
in the same Jail with Shafer. Shafer to-day,
through his attorney, filed bill asking for di

in their direction. The saloon keepers in certain
sections of the State have very much injured
their cause by using violent means to oppose the
