. POPE LEO AND FRANCE.
A Pastoral on HIS Recent Letter on the
Republic.

PARIS, April ia pastoral letter from
the archbishop and bishops of the province
of Mines was read In the churches in that
province Co day. Referring TO the pope'a
recent encyolioal. the pastoral says: "Some
good Catholics were shocked to find his
holiness enjoining the faithful to accept the
republic. The attitude Of the holy SEQ sole~
ly implied respect for and Difference to the
powers that be. The pope expressly de-
clares that respect shall be observed only
as long az required by the exigehcies OF the
common veal. The duty Of submission
ceases when the right to command it ceases.
All that the pope requires is that the people
shall not become rebels and canspiTators
prepared to engage in insurrection."
Regarding the concordat, the pastoral
says: at is the duty of Catholics to speak
write and act against laws that strike at
the belief and interests Of the faith. They
will most etfectually fulfill this duty by
eleoting men who respect religion
In regard to education the pastoral
declares that religion has been suppressed
aud that practical atheism has taken its
place, destroying faith and morality.

WASHING TIE FEET OF THE POOR.
Austria's Emperor Carries Out the
Tim e-honored Custom.

Austria's Emperor Carries Out the
Time-honored Custom.
VIENNA, April 14.-In compliance with
an ancient custom the Emperor Francis
Joseph to-day washed the feet of twelve
poor men at the imperial palace. This
custom is In imitation Of the washing Of
the feet Of the disciples by Christ and has
been followed by the emperors of the house
Of HapsburH from time immemorial. The
poor men are carefully selected from
among the respectable and deserving. The
poor men were brought before the emperor,
who approached them in an humble yet
digni6ed manner, dipped some water from
a silver ever, and touched the feet of each
one in succession, afterward applying a
towel also Co each. This took place in the
hall Of ceremonies and in the presence of a
brilliant assembly of members Of the i'm
perial house, and of the nobility and
ministers.
The twelve poor men were very old, their
collective ages amounting to 1868 years.
With their snowy heads and boards and
bent and tottering forms. they presented
remarkable contrast to the glittering
assemblage around them.
After the ceremony the emperor pre-
sented each of the old men purse con-
tanning thirty pieces Of silver, accompany
ing the gift with few kindly words
Then the twelve poor men retired and par
took of a meal provided for them, after
which they were conveyed In carriages to
their homes. This ceremony always
touches the popular heart in Vienna, and
crowds watch on the streets for the old
men TO pass. To-day loud cheers greeted
them as they we're taken to their homes.

from Fort Mckinney to Fort Douglass

danger to the troops and prisoners. 1t is
certain that the rustlers will try to kill
them on the way. Every hour adds more
