fOFE CEUS ROOMS.

OFE EECS ROOMS.
Sacred Corners In the Vatican Seldom
Seen by Lnquisitive Visitors.
The rooms actually inhabited by
Pope Lee III the Vatican are not nu-
merous. and only the cardinals, his
immediate surroundings and those
who are granted a special audience
; are. admitted. Access 20 them is
reached from the Corte Damaso by
the Scala Regia, opposite the cele-
brated Sistine chapel, which latter,
although it actually forms part of
the private apartments, is not diff
cult of access to the general public.
The furniture of all the anterooms
is, modern and very simple, being
made up of red damask and velvet,
with gold lace hangings. There, is
nothing in them specially to attract
the eye or to remind us that we are
invading the privacy of the pontiff
save the baldachini, or canopies,
which are made use of in process
sions and other functions and which
have similar upholstery. Under one
of these the pope takes his solitary
meals, for by the etiquette of the
court he is not permitted to enter
tain even the nearest of his relatives
or to eat otherwise than alone.
The private library, which over
looks the piazza of st. Peter, has
three windows, but some years ago
the present pope diminished its APP
parent size by means of a richly en-
broidered damask screen, artistical-
ly disposed and lightly supported by
elegant columns, which divides the
room into two parts. The walls are
furnished with bookcases of pearly
whiteness, picked out in gold with
golden foliage, but the books which
repose in these shelves, as we'll as
the numerous manuscripts, are not
visible, being for the most part
carefully covered by green silk
hangings. The screen only reaches
as far as the top of the windows,
and thus the upper part of the room
is left open.
The division of the room which
has two windows contains but few
books, but on the side opposite the
screen is large console in the style
of the seventeenth century, on
which are placed a crucifx and two
immense candelabra. The only orna-
ments of the library consist of busts
of the popes-ten in number-among
which Plus VII and Plus TX are con
spicuous. 1t is here that on certain
occasions, as, for in
stance, his name day (Onomastico)
In August, the pope receives the
visits of the cardinals and of his
private friends.
AS might be expected, the daily
routine of the pope life is extreme
ly simple, but the amount of work
of infinite variety which he gets
through in the day is incredible,
considering his advanced age. He
rises at z, at which hour his faith
full valet and maggiordomo, Contra,
is always in waiting to assist at his
masters toilet. His bedroom is
large and connexions, without a
vestige of luxury, but the details of
his apparel require the help of an
attendant. The pope is neat to the
last degree in all that concerns his
requisite dress, and his valet takes
care that nothing is wanting in the
disposal of his spotless linen or of
his purple stockings and that the
sacred slippers are in their place.

On Sunday, the 10th. the Atlantic
Transportation Company issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the fate of
the passengers and crew of the steamer
Mohegan, which was wrecked Friday
evening of the Lizard, on the coast of
Cornwall:
"Of the passengers eleven have been
saved, ten bodies have been recovered,

cattlemen, 30 have been saved, - bodies

Since the above was issued numerous
other bodies have been picked up, in

In his testimony before the commits

the camp to have been in the best

Or Sth.

Our local contemporary in its
last weeks issue states that letter
has been received from u. s. Sena-
tor Mason denying that he used the
language attributed to him in the
article reproduced in the BEACON
of September 29lh, 1898. We
didn't hear +he SENATOR aud OF
course, cannot testify that he was
either correctly or incorrectly re.
ported. With his, as with speeches
made in remote sections of the
country We read the newspaper re-
port, were struck by the force and
vim of the deliverance and repub-
lIssed it, presumiDg that it was
correct. We gave it currency
through OR columns just as we
give the denial-both based upon
our faith in the accuracy Of a news
paper report. We have no desire
to misrepresent Senator Mason or
anybody else. Though we felt that
we had no quarrel with anyone
about the matter, out of curiosity,
We asked of the Democratic Con.
gressional Committee If it could
inform as in the premises. We

HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE,
Washington, Oct. IL, 1898.
Dear Sir :--Your favor of the
18th instant is received toeetEs.s
with the two newspaper clippings.
Senator Mason didn't say anything
about Camp Mentauk, so far as
we know, except what he alleges in
this subsequent interview, but he
made speech in Illinois that was
published in all Of the Western
newspapers. in which he stated just
what you have published. He said
nothing specific about Montauk in
this speech and bis denial is of no
value because it is evasive and his
original position is well known.
j have no doubt Senator Mason
would like 70 avoid responsibility
for his utterarce at that time aud
thus not only have the supper. of
M outraged people but also the as.
sistance of the War Department.
Yours sincerely,
JAMES KERR,
Secretary.

svinring Around The circle.

The war investigating commission
having temporarily concluded its labors
in Washingtsl has now started upon a
tour of the army camps in the country.
.Gsbe testimony which the commission
ington has almost without exception
been favorable to the War Department
and the administration, and no efforts
seem TO have been made to bring out
evidence which would reflect in the
faintest degree upon the conduct of the
war. Apparently the public understands
that the commissions Investigation has
been superficial and ex parte, and its
work is not now regarded asa serious
undertaking. The belated visit of the
commission to the army camps adds an
other ludicrous touch to the situation.
There is nothing to investigate at Jack
sonville, where General Lees corps is
encamped; in fact, the camp has been
kept in first-rate condition ever since it
was established. The camp at Tampa
is no longer in existence, while il would
be impossible, in view of the several
weeks warning, for the commission to
discover any defects at Chickamauga.
Montauk Point has been abandoned, and
at Middletown, Pa, where there is a
camp, the conditions are admirable; and.
also at Huntsville, Ala, where troops
are encamped- These facts are we'll
known and the commission will gain
little information at these points bear
ing upon the abuses which were alleged
to exist in the summer, when the death
rate at Chickamauga and Camp Alger,
Va, was alarmingly and, it was believed.
unnecessarily high. If the commission
must keep up the pretense of an inves-
tigation, however, a''swing around the
circle may be about as harmless diver
sion as any In which it could engage.
Possibly, BY rare and unexpected stroke
st fortune, the commissioners may hap
pen upon some person who knows some
thing about the shady side of the war,
and IL they can bear the shock of hear
ing his testimony, they might interview
him just to add an entirely new feature
TO their Observation-Disclosures Sun.
