passage Of the viii on this subject is sub
stantially as follows: Peter. the esrepents
ant aud loving disciple of Christ, who
spoke by the months OF my predecessor
aud by my own, will uiffuse the Infinite
charity of the God-head by him who takes
from my dead hand the ring and
seal OF the fisherman" The Pope
then refers to the carpenters house at
Nazareth. which he describes as the di-
vine temple of that labor worship which
is the highest prayer of our fallen nature.
and which has made the sweat of mans
brow the JUNCTION OF the present grace and
the pledge of glory after death. This will
suffice to give some idea of this touching
and gentle testament ct peace and good
will, worthy OF the PoptiH, whose only
ambition is to go down to posterity as the
workingman's Pope. Another will. re-
ferring to temporal matters. is in the
hands of four cardinals. This, of course. is
secret, but it Is safe to say that the bulk
of the property OF the Holy See is In the
Bank OF England. and IN freehold aud
easehold Investments of the United
Kingdom. So much is this the case that
IL by any vicissitude the Pope left Rome,
the pecuniary interests of the Catholic
world would be safeguarded by guaran-
tees of the highest order in England
and the United States.-London Chront

Widowsu is the attraction which Mana
ger Henderson, offers to his patrons OF the
New Academy of Music next week.. Mr..
Wilkinson's Widows" enjoyed highly
successful run of 200 nights in New York
City, and 20 nights in Chicago. receiving
the universal praise of the press and
public in both cities. Mr.. Gillette has
written many comedies. but his last
effort has proven his masterpiece. 1t is
one of the brightest and most entertain
ing comedy conceits that ever came from
his pen. 1t is one continual laugh from
the rise to the fall of the curtain over the
trials and tribulations of MIR Wilkin-
sons Widows" The comedy is an
adaptation from Alexander BissoD's Ecu
Toupinel." The success of the play is
due more to William Gillette's brilliant
dialogue and ludicrous situations than 10
the original theme. The plot is as fol
lows:-Mr. Wilkinson who dies prior to
the opening of the play was an extremely
lively wine merchant who lived dual
domestic life, maintaining two establish
ments, one in London aud one in Edin-
burgh.
The Sunday morning news., 1891-12-06

The denouement comes at a musicale
given in the Dickinson's apartment, and
the fun leading TO it, and the misunder-
standings growing ont of gradual un-
folding OF the late Mr.. Wilkinson's dupli-
city, are indescribable. The improbabili-
ties of the farce are hidden from sight by
the surface fun. and the auditor Is carried
along with but few moments for serious
reflection.
The company is all that is necessary, it
being another OF Charles Frohman's
excellent selections, and Metropolitan
critics style it the greatest group Of play
ers that has ever assembled in comedy
farce. This is one of the strongest attrac-
tions that the Academy will present this
season. and undoubtedly when the
Widows commence holding receptions
Monday night they will pack the theatre
from pit to dome.
