Mgr. Satolli has been annoyed OF hate
by reports from various parts OF the coun-
try as to an alleged monk who goes
about representing himself as ., close
confident Of the delegate. This has been
sufficient to secure the impostor extended
hospitality as the guest Of prelatee
throughout the country. The guest has
always written back to his hosts saying
that Mgr Satoli extended his thanks
for the entertainment given. The last
field Of operations Of the alleged monk
was at Petersburg, w. Va. The name
given by the man is that Of an eminent
member of monastic order, who, upon
Investigation is found to have been in
his monastery constantly.

| Justice Field, of the Supreme Court, is
said by his friends to be possessed ola
somewhat remarkable ambition. This
is to stay upon the bench until his rec
ord shall eclipse in point of length that
Of any Of his predecessors. Mr.. Field
came to the Supreme Court in 1863, and
in few days will have completed his.
thlrty second year on the bench. If JUS
tice Fields health will permit him to re- :
main on the bench a little more than two
years from date he will then be able to
retire with the proud record Of having
served longer than any man in the his
tory of the court. The record Is now
held by the famous Justice Marshall,
who served from 1901 to 1885, period of
thirty four years. Justice Story, Of Mas
sachusetts, served from 1911 to 1916,
lacking only few months Of thirty-four
years. 4

Frank Jones, the. first assistant post
master general, is trying to devise some
means Of preventing the public wasting
it's money in dead letters. The number
Of letters containing money which 60
wrong in the mails is increasing at an
alarming rate, and officials Of the depart
ment think it is time something were
done about it. During the last year no
fewer than 28,581 letters and parcels
opened in the dead letter Office were
found to contain money, the total being
1926. In addition to the money there
were drafts and money orders with a
face value Of over 81 GOO, OO0, postal notes
Of the value OF nearly $4,000, 10000 let
ters containing receipts, legal and other
papers, $4,000 letters containing photo
graphs, $4,000 containing postage
stamps, 81 600 parcels containing articles
| Of merchandise, 1000 letters containing.
manuscript, and nearly 100000 letters
without separate Enclosures. "Th1s is an
enormous amount Of property to go
wrong IN the mails said MI. Jones, 'eand
| it was found on investigation that in
nine cases out Of ten the fault was wholly
that Of the writer. By opening the let

owners $28,o GOO Of the money, $96 i, 600 o.,
