PoPR LKo,s FINANCES.
Greater Ecoaomy to be Inau9urate
at the Vatican.

at the Vatican.
RoMK, May 2S.-The pope Is taking steps
70 secure greater eooncmy of expenditure at
the vatican. He has appointed a commits
sion consisting Of three cardinals, charged
to do their utmost to effect a reduction in
the expenses. It Is believed to be
the first time since Sixtus, v.
that the pope has interfered In
the constitutions OF the congregations Of
Rome. From a financial point OF view the
proposed reductions in expenses are proba-
ably due to the increased demands upon the
holy see. The misery in Italy aud the eff
fects OF the national bankruptcy on the
funds Of the vatican have considerably
augmented the extraordinary expenses.
EVERYBODY AFTER MONEY.
Everybody asks money Of the pope. Then
again the work Of the holy see IS continu-
ally increasing. Leo XIII. has created at
Rome, and especially In the mission fields.
special undertakings which require
much money. The crusade against
slavery has absorbed considerable sums
The pope is lavish 10 his endowments
to schools. sciences and benevolent societies
Leo XIII. Is not so liberal TO persons as was
Plus TX. but 10 causes OF general interest
his generosity borders on prodigality. 1t is
impossible TO estimate now how much the
pope gives privately. His resources are
difficult to enumerate.
RECEIVES LARGE SUNS IN PERSON.
Even the administration OF st. Peters
pence itself do not know the exact receipts
and expenditures OF the pope, because Leo
XIII. receives directly the greatest sums
from the bishops and laity. Part Of this
money is devoted to extraordinary
work and EXPENSE, and part
goes toward Increasing the secret
fund reserved for future needs. Initiating
Sixtus ", Leo XIII. wishes 20 leave TO his
successor tessoro pontifico fo- exceptional
circumstances, as war, exile or penury. II
is asserted that this fund has absorbed
10000. 900 francs OF the sums received by
him on the occasion Of his sacerdotal Jubilee
In 1887. The average amount received
annually by the pope in st. Peters pence Ii
between 5000, 900 and Q 600, 900 francs.
WHERE THE MONEY CONES FROM.
There has been some falling off In the
amount received from France, due, az 10 Is
thought at the vatican, to the educational
laws, which weigh heavily on the French
people. But this has been more than coun-
terbalanced by tfs increase of the oontribu-
tions from many other countries. The
United States now contributes more than
France to tho fund. sending annually $780,
600. Belgium comes next after France,
then Holland, Spain, Germany and last, OF
all, Italy. 1t seems highly improbable that
the pope will ever accept the sum assured
him by the Italian government In the guar
antee law, as It would be an admission OF
dependence. The system of st. Peters
pence has become permanent institution
and promises to be sufficient for oil the
papal needs.

Round of Pleasure Just the Same.
Cheered as Grandpa.
LONDON, May % S-The present season Of
social dramatic and musical entertainments
has been the dullest on record, in spite of
the many so-oalled attractions which have
been presented. This dullness may, In the
main, be attributed TO the financial de-
preston, the ravages Of the influenza, the
many deaths resulting from that disease
and the cold weather which has
prevailed at this usually balmy period of
the year. The health OF the Prince Of Wales
causes grave anxiety to his relatives and
intimate friends The malady from which
the prince suffered severely in 1890 has re-
appeared In different quarter. and this
fact is looked upon as one OF great signi-
hcanoe.
STILL HAS HIS FUN.
In spite OF his precarious state Of health
the prince continues his visits to the thea
ters and attends numerous balls and other
entertainments, but the heir apparent Is
carefully guarded while thus enjoying him
self, and every care Is taken TO prevent hin
from suffering too much fatigue. On Tues

his daughters, upon entering the royal box,
received tumultuous and warm greeting
from the audience assembled in the agricul-
tural hall.
CHERRED AS A GRANDPA.
After the first cheers had subsidized
voice in the gallery was heard to yell
"Three cheers for Grandfather Wales" A
genuine burst Of welcoming cheers followed
this remark, which the prince laughingly
acknowledged by rising and bowing to the
cheering people. Although the Prince OF
Wales has been subpenaed ON be-
half Of the plaintiff in the Sir w. Gordon
Cumming case, otherwise the "bacarat
scandal" he will not appear in ths witness
box, as his evidence is not required. The
greatest efforts are still being made on all
sides TO obtain seats at the trial of this
much-talked Of case, but every seat has al.

pected to be present will be doomed to dis
appointment. The trial commences Mon.
