SNUFF FOR THE POPE.
Hundred Pounds Ordered From q
Baltimore Firm
RnlIi,unre Snn
Baltimore Sun.

Pope Leo XIII sueezes Just as other NOR
tails do. and he adheres to a custom still
practiced in this country by gentlemen
of the old school-th that of using snuff to
tickle his olfactories. II is not generally
known that the snuff used by the head of
the Roman Catholic Church is made espe-
cially for his use in Baltimore.
This particular snuff goes direct from
prosaic Canton to the sacred precincts
of the Vatican. 1T is the highest priced
snuff made anywhere in the world and its
value is increased several times above the
original cost after the customs duty has
been paid to the Italian government
The snuff for the prince Of Rome is
manufactured from the pick of the finest

snuff. being careful that e..rs ,esIIge OF

costly altar OF roses.
One hundred pounds were first ordered
for the Vatican. This was packed in
e-pound and five-pound jars, each jar
being placed In a leather case lined witb
cardinal satin. The Jars We're of the same
color and each was tied with cardinal
ribbon. In. honor of Cardinal Gibbons,

its first order, the snuff was called Car
dinal Snuff
1t is supposed that the five-pound jars
found resting place in the private apart
ments of his holiness. The one pound Jars
were used as presents from the pope to
various cardinals and to others of bis friends
fond OF q good Baltimore sneeze. Rev.
John T. Farreley of the American College
at Rome appears to have been numbered
among the latter, and must have pinched
of the pope's snuff. for the Baltimore
makers recently received an order from
Father Farreley for ''some of the snuff
his holiness uses" The order has been
filled.
Pope Plus TX was snuff-taker, too, and
Baltimore enjoyed the distinction OF max
ing his snuff. 1t was put up by Gail & AK,
tue bran nd being known as "Pio Nuno.''
