ROME, Oct. 9.-The letter of his Holiness
Pope Leo XIII to Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal Secretary OF State, on the recent
fetes in celebration Of the twenty-fifth an
niversary OF he entry OF the Italian troops
into Rome, was published this evening.
1t is as follows:
''The sentiment of humanity, which even
minds dominated by passion retain, seemed
to permit Of the hope of some consideration
nored. We have been reduced TO become al
most immediate witnesses OF the apotheoss
of the Holy See. That which most afiicted us
Is the design to perpetuate rather than to
terminate the conflict of which one can
object of the occupation of Rome was not
to complete political unity. but, in de-
stroying the walls OF the temporal metrop-
os to Of Ss s object n
change the destinies of Rome, return it to
paganism and give birth to a third Rome
and third era OF civilization.
THAT is what II wss desired to celebrate
recently under the sanction OF the new law
by noisy demonstrations conducted by
sect which is the enemy of God. The ma
ton suffers. for not only are the promises
of mutual benefits unfulflled, but, morally,
Italy is divided and srbservient to factions
which menace all civil and social institu-
tions in augmenting numbers and force.
Nothing will ever confer veritable inde-
pendencc on the papacy so long as 1T does
This condition they pretend having guar
anteed us, subordinated to the arbitrary
will of others. and lately there has been
suggestion OF a threat to abrogate even
the guarantee itself"
The letter OF the Pope then vaunts the
blessings of pontifical sovereignty and in
yites Italians not to be bound up with
sects and TO consider how pernicious it
would be to perpetuate the conflict which
Is profiting the enemies of Christianity. 1t
then affirnls that the head OF the church
follows with loving vigilance humanity's
road and does not refuse to accept the rea-
ter of his Holiness concludes with:
'Tf italians throwing Off the Masonic
yoke would listen to us, we could open our
heart 10 the fondest hopes. Otherwise we
can but predict new perils and greater dis

toricAl Society Building Yesterday.
Miss Besston gave a very enjoyable
talk to the Colonial Danes in the Della
ware Historical Society building yester-
day afternoon. her topic being The Set
tlement OF Plymouth" She gave a
history Of those famous folk, and proved
them the most remarkable emigrants
who have ever settled in any country.
She traced the story Of the people from
the time of their long and tedious jour
ney across the ocean TO the New England
OF the present day. She welt upon their
stern honesty and praise worthy virtues.
She defended the prejudices with which
the Puritsns are charged They were
opposed to the stage, because
the plays Of their time were
immoral and no woman Of the
better class would see them without
masks to hide their bushes. They were
opposed to novels, because the literature
was corrupting and would make pure
woman blush. Their opposition to
music was justified by the associations
about music of the time.
She compared the Puritan and the
Cavalier who settled In warmer climes. TO
the disadvantage of the latter. The
Puritan lacked the dash, cbivRlrY and
lovelock OF the Southerner, but he was
more to be trusted Miss Bssston Is a
charming speaker, and she was listened
to with marked interest and appreciation
