POPE AND PRESIDENT.

MIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew has been to
see the Pope. The railroad magnate re-
ceived the rare honor OF a private audi
ence. and his ACCOUNT OF the meeting
with the Pontifr given to THE World
is OF much interest.

Pope's presence. He made inquiry az

seemingly apprehensive that he would
be required to go through some cere-
mony which would not be agreeable to

warmly. perhaps than he would have
shaken the hand of Grover Cleveland.
and at once plunged into conversation.

the Presidency In 1896?

Few seasons have been more remark
able than the present for the display Of
choice and fine handkerchiefs, and it will
be largely the fault of the retailers IL
their holiday trade is not equally re-
markable for its volume and profit.
The importers have certainly done their
share to make it success. The lace
edge handkerchiefs are the most novel
and attractive features OF the season.
and they include such variety of fine
laces, both real and imitation, that every
taste and pocket can be suited. These
