THE POPE'S FINANCES.
TAKING STEPS TO SECURE GREATER ECONOMY

Rome Nav o3-The Pope Is taking steps TO secure
greater economy Of expenditure at the Vatican he
has appointed commission OF three Cardinals charged
to effect a reduction in expenses. 1t Is beheVed 10
be the first time since Sixtus that Pope mas lher
fered in the constitution Of the congregations OF ROME
The proposed reductions In expenses are prooaDly
due to the increased demands upon the Holy See Ile
misery in Italy and the effects Of the National bank
rlptcy on the funds of the Vatican have considerably
augmented the extraordinary expenses. Everybody
asks money Of the Pope. Then again. the work OF the
Holy See is continually increasing. Leo XIII has
created at Rome, and especially in the mission neuS
special undertakings which require much money The
crusade against slavery has absorbed considerable
suns. The Pope is lavish in his endowments to
schools sciences and benevolent agencies Leo XIII
Is not so liberal to persons Plus 1X, but to
causes OF general interest his generosity borders on
prodigallty.
While the resources Of the Pope less than the
civil list of most European soveregns yet by wise ad
mlnistraton these resources, not entirely adequate
for all the needs Of the Church, sufficient to insure
the working OF its principal services. The revenues
