the PoPEs LETTER.

II win Not he About Mgr. satoIIi, But
About the Catholic University ut WASH
ington.
RoME, Sept. Inquiries made by
the Associated Press correspondent at
the Vatican to-day in regard to the
statement published by news agency,
saying that the Pope is preparing an
cncyclical letter to be addressed to the
bishops and people of the United States
announcing the absolute supremacy of
the apostolic delegate in church matters
in the United States, with the single
right of appeal TO the Pope, show that
there is no truth IN the story. 1t was
stated at the Vatican that the Pope will
not again address the American bishops
on Monsignor Satollis mission, which,
il was added, has already been sufIi.
GENTLY explained in the published pom
titical documents.
The Pope's only present project is to
publish at an indefinite date pontiical
letter exhorting the American Episco-
pate in favor of the Catholic University
at Washington and advocating sending
as many students as possible to thut
institution.

OYSTERS Are FIVE.



Opening of the Season--Principal Source
of WilminEtOn's supply.
The oyster season has fairly opened.
Allen IL. Ainscow, the well-known
dealer, said the other day that in all his
experience he had not known the
oysters to be of such good quality at
the beginning of the season.
The oysters now sold in this market
come principally from the Morris river
cove. This cove is on the New Jersey
side of the Delaware river, 90 or %
miles north of Cape May. The Morris
river flows into the cove. II is fresh
water river and the conditions are very
favorable for good quality in the oysters
Several hundred boats of different
kinds are engaged in dredging the cove
oysters. The boats carry crews of four
to six men each. The supply for Will
miugton is brought here IN boats carry
ing at this early part Of the season
10000 to $4,000 oysters. The oysters for
Philadelphia and other points north are
shipped by rail.
In Mr.. Ainscow's opinion the oyster
supply will continue sufficient unless
something unforeseen occurs. The Della.
ware bay oysters will be used until
freezing weather sets in. Some of the
natural oyster beds in the cove having
become depleted oysters have been
transplanted from Chesapeake bay and
other waters. In year or two these
have the flavor Of Delaware bay oysters,
although the plants are still known as
Chesapeake bay plants.
The Morris river cove Uystermen
| dredge for oysters and Law them out on
floats up the river, leaving them there
50 that the fresh water rises over them
The fresh water fattens the oysters. In
their present fine condition one tide
serves the purpose. Sometimes they
are allowed to remain on the floats fol
two or three tides. The quality depend,
upon fairness. A fat oyster is OF good
quality.

NTtinttbISs
The Newton, Mass, Board Of Health
was pleased with Wednesdays visit to
this city. After inspecting the crcma-
tory the visitors were taken around the
city. Colonel Enoch Moore, postmaster,
received them in his office in the Federal
building in the afternoon. They left
for home at ) O'clock.
The crematory was in operation when
the visitors were there. No odor arose
from it. 1t WAS thought by some people
recently that an odor did come from The
crematory, but investigation showed
that the udor came from piles Of oyster
shells in the gas company's yards. Once
in hot weather when some garbage re.
manned on top of the furnace while
what was inside was being burned, an
odor did arise, but that was about the
only time.
