1t is not hard to see Mgr Satolli. He
is the American pope in more than name,
for his ways are democratic and he is al
most as accessible as was bluff old Gen.
jackson himself. If you wish to see him,
therefore, do not stand on ceremony. Do
not wait for letter of introduction from
some Catholic dignitary, but proceed di-
rectly to the old brick house on New Jer-
sey avenue, Washington, and ring the
bell with the audacity of hardened book
agent
A beautiful little Italian boy will open
the door for you. He looks like that too
familiar picture of the Neapolitan Boy,
except that his hair is smoother and he
is dressed like any American child. He
will not bow like an American boy, how
ever, but will sweep the most gracious
salutatlon, take your card, ask if you
understand Italian, and then show you
into little reception room on the right
hand when you have made the answer
that he evidently expects-that you do
not know Italian, and speak an inferior
quality of French. At least all these
things occurred to New York woman
the other day who took her courage in
both hands and went to interview
Satolli on the burning question of woman S
rights
Soon the pretty boy returned, and,
saying that monsignor would see her,
invited the now nervous guest TO step
into the adjoining parlor. The most
striking object there is picture of Pope
Leo, copy of the Chartrain portrait,
which is inscribed with a verse in Latin
and the words "To Francis Satolh from
Leo Kill"
There was swish of silk, and with a
swift and noiseless step the American

sountain with red buttons and button
holes worked in red. He wore nothing
on his head. His habit was lined with
silk, and it was the rustic of this which
announced his coming. Around his neck
hung silver chain, curiously wrought
and thick as mans index finger, and
the gold cross, which he afterward
showed the visitor, was thrust into his
breast. He bowed and graciously ex-
tended his hand, on which cleaned the
amethyst ring. His New York guest
gave it warm pressure in the excitement
of the moment, for the difficulties of her
position had begun TO dawn upon her
and monsiguor waited for her to tell why
she had come. Fortunately she had been
brought up in Montreal convent and she
mentioned the name of a distinguished
Catholic prelate as that of friend. 1t
was charming to see how the priests
ascetic face lighted up. He began to
speak very slowly and to express his ad-
miration for that great and good man.
81 speak but little English he said
after moment and indeed his effort to
speak our native tongue had wonderfully
contorted his face, while with both hands
he played with the silver chain continu-
ally and nervously. Then he introduced
his visitor to Father Pope, his Italian
secretary and interpreter, who had stood
unnOticed behind the delegate. At his
words the good-looking, smiling young
priest came forward and protfered his
services. Father Pope speaks almost
perfect English. The caller took long
breath, aud said:
You are known, monsignor, TO follow
with ardent interest all the movements
of civilization which are going forward IN
this country. would so much like TO
have your opinion Of movement which
