TAXING CHURCn PROPERTY.
Some City Ministers said TO be in Favor
of Abolishing the Exemption.

In conversation with ASSESSOR Whann
upon the subject of taxation of church
property, the Kew. w. +. Swart2 is
credited with declaring that he is in favor
of its being taxed the same as other prop
eYty.
Church would be rated at $4,000. An esti-
innate ON Grace NJ. l.. property would
easily afford the sum of S250,oo0. The
church property in the city might readily
run over Sl,0oo.0O0. Were this taxed it
would help the county levy quite appreci-
ably.
the city clergy, Of various denominations,
are in favor of laying this tax, or rather
of removing the exemption. They assert
that it would make the church indepen-
dent of the State.

AT WORK ON THE MESSAGE.
The President Disregards His At
Fiction for the Public Good.



He viii Have the Message Ready for
Transmission to Congress Next Tuesday
"A Cabinet Meeting Held Yesterday.
Associated pr"4I ~ uartn wires
washington, Nov. 3O-rhe President
has virtually decided that the exigcncieso Of
public business require that he shall tenn
porarily disregard his personal Affections.
and he therefore devoted himself TODAY to
the consideration of his message 10 Con-
gress, with Il view Of having it ready for
transmission to that body Tuesday next.
1t is understood to have been the Prcsi.
dents purpose to have elaborated several
important matters touching upon only
briefly III the original draft. but he has
now abandoned that idea and will conline
himself To the strict necessities of the case.
The report that there might be Il few
days delay in the submission Of the mes
sage was based on the Presidents original
purpose Of 4 total ahstention from ailicial
duties until after his return from the
funeral Of Dir. Scott Friday next In view
of his modified plans il is now settled that
there will be only one days delay in the
transmission of the Presidents message
and the reports of the heads of the eXecu-
tive departments, which usually accom-
pany it.
The necessities Of the case seemed to re-
quire meeting Of the cabinet to-day, so
word was sent all Of the heads Of executive
departments now in Washington ard they
gathered at the department Of State in Sec
rotary John Fosters private office, about
noon, where they were joined by the
President.
II was explained to the cabinet that
because of the funeral service tomorrow
and the Presidents absence during the
following day at least, it was necessary to
hold the meeting to-day, as it was the last
opportunity to consider the message before
Congress assembled.
The Presidents absence from the city
lso made it expedient TO discuss certain
Sther matters of public business, such as
,ie Boring Sea case and the financial out
ook, before the meeting Of Congress.

The Ingenious Device Discovered by French
Customs Officers

The Ingenious Device Discovered by French
Customs Officers.
The French Customs Officers who are sta
toned at the gates of Paris to guard against
exciseable goods entering without paying
the duty have occasionally to deal with
very ingenious attempts at smuggling. Last
week, for instance, an attempted fraud was
laid bare which goes to show how fertile
the contrabandists are in expedients. At
the Menilmontant Gate man in charge of q
pony cart, in which were three large wooden
boxes, attempted to pass the barriers.
"Have you anything to declare?" asked one
of the officials
'Nothing," said the man, sunless Gov
eminent has put q tai on cemetery
wreaths," and as he spoke he drew the lid
off one of the boxes, revealing number of
the wreaths and crosses of artificial flowers
so common in French burying grounds.
The man was about to pass on when some
thing about him aroused the suspicious Of
the chief official He took the cover off one
of the boxes, and admired the beauty of
the flowers and their remarkable fidelity
to nature. Lifting one casually in his
hand, he found it was remarkably
heavy, and closer examination showed that
when stripped of flowers and moss it was
zinc case filled with the finest brandy. The
rest of the contents Of the boxes were of
the same nature and were at once confis-
Gated. As frauds of the kind are severely
punished by the Partisan authorities, the
ingenious inventor of the trick will prob
ably be allowed leisure enough in Mazas to
design something novel.

Oh, they were determined not to do this;
and their really touching patience was the

that it was 1 who was most their form.
They were not picturesque enough for the
painters, and in those days there were not
SO many serious workers in black and white. /
Besides, they had an eye to the great job I
had mentioned to them-they had secretly
set their hearts on supplying the right
essence for my pictorial Yindication OF our
high national novelist. They knew that
for this undertaking I should want no COS

thing should be cotemporary and satirlcal,

election of new General the professed
fathers and the rectors in each province as
semble and elect two professed fathers, who
accompany the Provincial to the General
Congregation, by which the head of the So
ciety Is chosen.
1.-The General" says Ignatius, SHOULD
possess great habit of union with God and
a piety to serve as an example to his breth-
rem. Charity and humility should specially
characterize him. He should unite gentle
ness and love of discipline, never allowing
any relaxation of the rules, and yet show
ing himself full of compassion for his chill
dren even when obliged to reprove and cor
rect them.
Absolutely Deprived of Property.
''He must endeavor to be composed in his
exterior, prudent in his words, wise In his
judgments He can have no private purse
or annual pension, and his personal ex-
penses may be increased or entailed by the
society, TO whose decision in this matter he
is bound to submit Toward the common
possessions he holds the position of a
trustee, and is bound to administer them
not according to his own pleasure but for
the general good of the order"
Several assistants belonging to different
nationalities, and, like himself, appointed by
election, are assigned to the Father Gen
eral, and these he consults on matters re-
garding the administration of the order.
An admonitor is likewise elected, and his
duty is to be a prudent counselor, ever at
hand to advise on all that concerns the Gen.
erals private conduct In an extreme
case, which has never occurred, the
provinces of the society might elect
deputies to depose the head of the
order. The Father General has the ap-
pointment of three examiners and no book
can be published by any member without
his approval or that of the censors dele
gated by him for the purpose. The most
perfect and implicit obedience is owed to
him by all the members; and he, in his
turn, promises the same to the Pope. But,
in order that he may be thoroughly ac-
quainted with every department of the vast
body intrusted to his guidance, he receives
every three years from each province cata-
logue of its members, recording their names,
ages, capabilities, talents and progress in
virtue.
An Organization of Perfect Discipline.
At stated intervals each local superior
must write to the provincial to give him an
account of the house under his care; and at

hundred and sixty-third successor of st.
Peter. OF course, the division OF his
authority is only legendary, but in the tfa-
dition the "Red Pope" is the Cardinal
Prefect of the Propaganda, the head of the
missions of the Church all over the world,
and hence a prelate of great influence. He
is the executive chief of the Church in the
United States, because in the administra-
tion of ecclesiastical affairs this is still re-
garded as missionary country.
The present Prefect of the Propaganda is
the famous Pole, Cardinal Mieceslas Ledo-
chowski. He might really be styled the
Vice Pope, because he governs, assisted by
his Council OF Cardinals, one-third of the
Catholic world, or those countries in which
q hierarchy has been established during the
past three centuries The Pope has su-
preme jurisdiction, but the practical man.
agement OF the Church in these countries is
in the hands of this great congregation. For
these reasons the popular title of ''The Red
Pope" (from his dress) is given to its head.

The "Black Pope" (from his dress so
called) is the Father General of tine Jesuits.
When Ignatius Loyola, a Spanish soldier

of Jesus. in 1884, he retained in its makeup
many of the ideas of his military training.

Costume Of the Coast Peoples
In costume the italian fisherman has no
resemblance to his inland brother He
wears sort of Greek-like tunic, sleeveless
and reaching barely to the knees. This is
brought closely to his body with broad
leather belt, in the inside of which he car
ries his rosary, his scapular or perhaps
some holy relic for protection at sea. Rude
sandals Of tough fish or goat skin are bound
to his feet with thongs that are crossed
around the leg to the knee. His hair and
beard are seldom cut or trimmed. 1t often
has the wave of a sculptured gods and as
he rarely wears any head covering, save per-
haps cotton kerchief bound around his
which is sometimes as blonde as Scandina-
vians, his whole aspect irresistibly suggests
primitive Greek on the classic loneliness
Of his own loved shores.

They know nothing of bending over sun

not caring for the harvests of the sea, they

Of the sea.
Both women and men are often seen in
the streets of the larger villages on market
days; but always huddled in groups by
themselves, viewing askanoe the treasures
of shop and stall and taking no part in the
gay and busy life about them. One would
as soon expect to see marble Aphrodite
