POPE AND PHONOGRAPH.
Great Interest of His Holiness in the
American Invention.
London Telegraph.


London Telegraph.
AS for more mature Americans, whose
classical education has been unfortunately
neglected, they will sedulously apply them
ito the study of Popular Educators"
and the Latin "OlleDdorff." to be ready for
that which promises to be most interest
ing and certainly unprecedented attraction
of the Worlds Fair at Chicago. To that pro-
digous assemblage of industrial and artistic
productions Mr.. Stephen Moriarity is to
take Photographic apparatus which is
destined to become historic. and from the
cylinders of the machine will be audible
the voice of Pope Leo XIII, who on Mon
day, In his private apartment at the
Vatican, bent over the phonograph and
spoke into it, and turning TO Mr.. Moriarty
observed: Il hand you this message;
guard IL carefully, for it is the expression Of
my love for all the people of the United
States. | wish you TO deliver it with your
own hands 10 the President" Mr. Mori-
arty assured the Supreme Pontif that he
would guard the communication until it
was transmitted to President Cleveland as
the most sacred message ever intTusted to
him. His Holiness subsequently expressed
the great interest which he felt in the Chi
cago Exhibition. The message TO the chief
magistrate of the United States is in Latin.
and, by the Pope'S special desire will not be
made public before 1t has been reproduced
In America. Prior to the conclusion OF the
audience at the Vatican. however, his Holi-
ness words were, at his own request, made
audible TO himself and the persOnageS in
attendance. On hearing the sounds he sx-
claimed: 1T is my vOicei This is indeed
wonderful" And he proceeded to explain
to the members Of his court that his voice
could be heard long after his death.
There can be little doubt that the acute
Intellect and the long experienced eccles-
astical acumPn of the aged POntiff has been
most keenly aroused on the occasion of Mr..
MoTiarlty's first visit to the Vactican, when
lie was permitted to deliver from the pho
nograph nsssage spoken into the machine
by the late Cardinal Manning, as well as
another utterance from Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop of Baltimore, both voices ex-
pressing their devotion to the POne and to
the Papal See. Probably Leo XIII was
most astnnished and most deeply moved
when, in the case OF the great English Ro-
manist, he heard the tones of one speaking
as II were from the tomb. and listening to
accents Of tongue which still dWelt In his
memory, his mind may have reverted to the
personality OF the dead Cardinal. With
eagerness that seems almost naive the POpe
caused the message of Cardinal Manning to
be repeated at the second audience with
which lie honOred Mr.. Moriarity. This
was done. and then the cylinders which re-
cord the vibrations of the voice, and which
can be sent by post instead of a written
letter, were shown to the Pope, who dis
played unbOunded interest In them. This,
lie remarked, would indeed revOiutiNuIze
the art of writing, since every infection of
the voice and every syllable and word are
recorded. and can be dispatched with won
derfut eXactiiude.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
Attorneys Picking Flaws in the
Enabling Bill.


SAN BERNARDINo, April 17.-Attorneys
employed in investigating the cOnstitu-
tionality Of the Riverside County bill hold
that the constitution has been violated by
the provision in the act which reads as fol-
lows; Riverside shall form and constitute
the Seventy-s Assembly District and
part of Senatorial District No. 80. and that
part Of the Seyenty-seventh Assembly Dis
trict remaining in San Bernardino County
shall be attached to and constitute part of
the Seventy-eighth Assembly District until
otherwise provided by law"
This throws the Seyenty-eighth District
about 200 miles further north than the north
ern boundary ofthe eSeYenty-seTeuth District
violating the terms of the constitution,
which reads as follows: THE Senatorial
districts shall be numbered from l to 40 in
elusive in numerical order, and the As
sembly districts shall be numbered from
] to so in the same order, commencing at
the southern boundary"
