THE POPE AND AMERICA.
Archbishop Ireland Tells Of His Warm Love
for His Country.

Archbishop Ireland Tells Of His Warm Love
for His Country.
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul, speaking of
Pope Leo XIII, in an interview in Rome, said
that he considered his holiness the most Amer
lean in his ideas Of all prominent European
personages. In regard to his Endorsement OF
the worlds Columbian exposition the arch
bishop said:
"The letter Of Leo XIII to the president o,
the European commission Of the Chicago ex.
hibition ia an unusual document and has sur
prised churchmen of the old school tenacious
OF traditions and forms. The pope is con-
stantly giving new proofs that he is really the
pontif Of his age. understanding thoroughly
its aspirations and methods while depressing
its evils encouraging its healthful throbbings,
blessing its achievements, opening up new
vistas to its hopes.
"A few weeks ago he broke with time honored
customs, which, under plea of guarding his
dignity, confined his power. and in an inter-
view with Partisan journalist addressed him
self through the public press to the people of
france upon gravest political and religious
questions. Now he opens his mind in O most
cordial letter to a non-Catholic gentleman, and
through him to nation largely non-Catholic
bidding God-speed to the gigantic enterprise
which on the shores Of Lake Michigan is to
bring together never before in the universe
the fruits Of the earth and the work of the
genius and industry Of man.
The letter to the representative Of our ex-
hibition is another manifestation of his high
esteem and warm love for the United States.
When promising to give the letter in the
audience accorded to Thomas B. Bryan. he had
said that he wished it to be taken as a token of
his most friendly sentiments toward our
country.
II could quote numerous instances" con-
tinued Bishop ireland, among expressions
which had the honor of listening to myself
as proofs that there is no other European per-
sonage Of note SO American In his thoughts
and sympathies as Leo XIII.
HE secs in the United States the perfect
blossoming Of the rational liberty which he
so ardently desires for all nations, the fullest
stature of this modern democracy which he
understands so well, and to which he knows the
future OF Christian civilization must assuredly
belong. Indeed, venture without fear OF
being mistaken the assertion that the pope has
derived from the United States if not a good
share OF the democratic inspir atoms which he
has been sending out over the world from the
Vatican, at least a cold encouragement for
them"

Thorough Inspection of the Grounds to
Be Made.
DIR. Hughes and Inspector WEIGH Of the
health Office began an inspection this morn
ing of Graceland cemetery. and will continue
the work from day to day until the ground has
been thoroughly covered and samples of spring
and well water have been obtained from the
surrounding country and analysed by the dis
trict chemist.
The inspection is the result Of systematic
attack on the alleged unhealthfulness Of the
cemetery by the citizens of East Washington,
including several physicians.
The complaints were directed to Health Off
Ger Hammett In the form of petitions from
the citizens stating that the cemetery, located
as it is in the center of what is fast becoming a
thickly populated section of the city, is great
injury and source of danger TO the residents of
the neighborhood.

to the fact that many cases of sickness have oc-
Cured in the vicinity" reads the petition,
caused apparently by the drainage from the
cemetery, which follows directly toward the

prohibited and that the remains of those here
tofore inferred be removed to some more suit

The names of about 200 citizens are attached
to the petition.
Accompanying the petition are letters from
Drs. L. DIN Leech, Joseph y. Gardner and g.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Several weeks ago there appeared in Satur.
day STAR some clever criticism regarding the
forms of greeting used BIZ society in its inter-
change of visits and social amenities. Mr.. R.
Hitchcock was moved to comment rather
severely on the custom Of bidding good morn
ing after l O'Clock pm. 1t struck me there
might be few words said on the other side,
and having waited for some one to say them
with modesty becoming my sex and station,
and none appearing for the defense, will you
allow me space to lift up feeble voice in the
wilderness. as it were, for the poor, innocent
butterfly whom the workers-ths bees, ants,
early birds and other tiresome creatures-are
always attacking.
In the first recorded division Of time we read
that ''the evening and the morning were the
first day" I take it the morning extended
from sunrise to sunset and the evening from
sunset to sunrise again. There was no ''after-
noon" mentioned. Later there came the divi.
sions Of a. m and p. H. for purposes of legal ex-
actitude and astronomical correctness. Has
Mr. H. considered that afternoon" really
means the period from midday to midnight!
Why then should 1t be better form to use good
afternoon" only up to nightfsll than to say
good morning" from sunrise to sunset?
The earlier and scripturai divisions of day
are morning and evening. The II Or and tech
nical one, forenoon and afternoon. but those
insisted upon by Mr. Hitchcock. morning, At.
ternoou auo evening, are purely arolsrary, ono
there 10 no good reason why they should moi
yield to other. also arbitrary, fashions.

Hitchcock Is not one-having an unreasouins

as an indication of one form Of a higher civil

compassion for the helpless animals. The hu-

to the protection OF animals but extends It's

pledged his hearty support

The Rev. Dr. Bartlett then delivered an ad-

sented in the doctrine Of Jesus Christ. The
