When Leo XIII. Dies.

II has long been the unwritten law of
the political court that when Pope
dies the cost of erecting suitable mon
ument over his remains shall be de.
frayed in equal portions by those of the
cardinals he created during his potifi-
cate who may survive him, and Leo
XfII. decided long ago that he shall be
buried in that famous sacred edifice
outside the walls of Rome known as
the Church of ST. John Lateran. He
has even approved the design for his
sepulchral monument which the official
Vatican architect drew up at his ORDER
so that the cardinals will not have any
trouble in settling the details. Mean
while His Holiness is himself spending
money lavishly on The church in ques.
tion, especially in connection with the
erection of superb monument over the
tomb which now contains the ashes of
Pope Innocent Ill, that masterful pom.
tifi who, besides placing France under
an interdict when Philip Augustus
dared TO divorce his wife in spite of the
Pope's caution, accommodated our
own King Jobn.-lLondon Figaro.
