Over the altar has been reared very
handsome canopy. An immense plat

Mgr. SatOlli has improved greatly in
health since his last appearance in st.
Paul, when he was somewhat delicate.
In his features and general makeup
lie is classic. The first impression
made by his eminence is that he is
clear Of mind and simplicity itself. In
repose he is quite peaceful looking;
but when he speaks on subject close
to his heart, he is very animated and
his features glow with enthusiasm.
OF course lie has the Italian manner
ism and gesture. He is very fluent in
the Latin language and speaks it elo-
quently. When last here he spoke
the English language very imperfect
ly, but during the past two years he
has mastered English and now con-
verses in the language of the land
very f1uently. The monsignor would
not converse on questions of the day,
but expressed himself as being high
ly gratitied with all he had seen since
leaving Washington. 1t was his first
trip across the great inland lakes, and
the extent of water traversed was q
revelation to him.
