hobbies. and a profitable hobby 1t IL. see-
ing that 1t yields an annual harvest OF
I,500 gallons Of wine.
The Pope amuses himself with catching
small birds with nets. sport in which
he was an expert when a lad, and of
which he is still very fond. The cultiva-
ton of tea roses is another hobby of His
Holiness
Near this place, the Pope's playground,
stands the huge tower of the Citta Leon
ia. a building which dates back to the
eighth century. As evening approaches
the Pope proceeds 10 this tower alone
and until sunset he remains in its solitar,
dungeon. What he does there nobod.-
knows. It has been suggested that he in
6ulges in nap, or that he arranges his
future plans: at all events, much of his
literary work is done in this large empty
room. As the sun goes down the Pope
returns to his apartments, and after tell
ing his rosary, sets to work, and does
not retire to rest until midnight. When
seeking an inspiration he walks to his
study window. and drawing aside the
curtain gazes long and silently at the
brilliant sky of an Italian night.
At 10 o'clock His Holiness goes 10 bed,
to wake up at o'clock, to live the same
day over again.
The Pope is in his eighty-ninth year,
and despite his great age he is a marvel
of physical and intellectual vigor. Since
his election to the chair of ST. Peter. his
death has been foretold scores of times.
and the rumors of his Ill health have filled
nunlberless newspaper columns. But Leo
XIII. has proved the truth of the adage.
Threatened men live long" and though
old age has begun TO tell upon him. there
is every prospect that the Pope viii give
the lie to future rumors by refusing to
die for some years. He Is one of the
cleverest scholars and statesmen OF the
age, while his piety is great, and he is
austere to the verge OF asceucism-M
treal Star.

of peace jubilee, and one day will be
devoted to a tribute to the triumphant
arms of America
Chicago will, of course, have cele-
bration of an extraordinary character,
and at least hundred poems have
been submitted to the committees, for
recital on the eventful day when Pres
ident Mckinley reviews the great pa
rade. One poet, expecting Ex-Secre-
tary Day to be present, had paid him
an unusual tribute. He asked a mem
Der of the committee to correct the
poem by putting an H in place of

letter:
The patriot poet shouts with glee,
That versifying the jubilee
The rhymes he made to go with Day

Beneath it the founder Of the new pre-
vince stood and received representa-
tive chiefs of the Indians-to negotiate
with them about the land, and made
league of peace. The treaty was made
in the latter part of 1882, and under
the spreading elm gathered chiefs OF
the Lenni- Lenape and some of the
Susquehanna tribes. Penn came to
the spot in a barge and wore blue
sash. The great Tamarend was chief
spokesman, and the result of the
unique gathering was treaty Of am
ity and friendship. The old tree was
blown down in 1910.

est Religious Monarch.
OF all Christian churches that of
Rome is the greatest, and over its $780,
0O0, COO members the Pope reigns SUI
preme. He is the greatest religious
power in the world, and at the present
time, when his heaaan is giving such
anxiety, some account Of his daily life
cannot fail to be interesting.
As the great clock of ST. Peters
strikes seven the Pope's valet enters
his bedroom, large. square apart
ment, simply furnished. Throwing
open the windows Contra wishes the
Pontiff good morning. and proceeds TO
assist his venerable master TO dress.
His toilet completed, the Pope per-
forms his mornings devotions, and
proceeds TO the next room, which is
fitted up as an oratory. where ne ceie-
brates mass. Occasionally highly PRIV
ileged persons are permitted to be pres
ent at this service. which lasts about
forty-five minutes. A second mass IS
afterward celebrated by one of the
household prelates, at which all the IN
habitants of the Vatican, including the
Pepe, are present The Pontiff then
breakfasts in his study. the meal con-
sisting CT a cup of strong soup ana
few chocolate pastilles.
The Pope then goes into the library,
where he gives an audience to speclaI-
ly favored pilgrims. 1t is in these IN
terviews that the marvellous memory
and learning of the pope are pest
shown. German, English, French,
Spanish and Italian-his native ian
guage-he speaks with fiuency. The
Pope addresses each pilgrim in his own
language, discussing with them the
leading topics of their respective couh-
tries. Leo reads many newspapers, and
Is fully acquainted with the wclIo ana
all its doings.
His visitors gone, the Pope COM
mences his days work. His first task
is to revise and alter the works of the
previous day. for he is a most pains
taking and fastidioUs scholar. While
engaged in these literary labors he re-
freshes himself with an occasional
pinch Of snuff.
At 10 a. M the Secretary of State,
Cardinal Rampolla enters, and with
him. the Pope goes through the politi-
cal correspondence of the day.
The Popes annual income has been
estimated at $500 ,0G0, and about $3.50
0C0 Of this goes in maintaining the
household Of the Vatican. Though by
no means a miser. Leo Is very careful;
his valet keeps all his keys. with the
exception of the key to the strong box,
which the Pope himself retains. His
Holiness gives away large sums in
charity every year.
At noon the Pope dimes; the meal con-
sists of an omelet, roll of bread, and
little cheese, washed down by single
glass of red wine.
The Pope then takes his constitutional
in one of the numerous halls of the Nau-
can, after which ne is carried in a sort
of sedan chair by two stalwart lackeys
into the garden and placed in his car
riage.
He is driven down the avenue, accom-
panied by an officer of his guard and two
gendarmes. At the Cascata dell Aquia
the Pope alights, and leaning on stick.

Mercur. Utah, Oct. 13.-The 2O-round
boxing match between Bean, the Utah
champion, and Weday, the Michigan mid
dleweight, resulted in victory for Bean
in the eighth round.
The opera house was crowded with
spectators. about $500 being taken in at
the door. A preliminary bout of four
rounds was fought between Jack Hansen
of Sandy and Thomas Richards of Park
City. The fighting was fast and furious
all the way through, and the fight was
declared a draw.
and Weday at ISL Lon. Groesbeck Off
ciated as referee Jack Smith and Billy
Wilson acted as Beams seconds, and Kid
Smith and Roy Condie did similar service
for Weday.
In the first round the fighting was slow,
Bean landing oftener than Weday.
After some sparring in the second
Weday returned and landed on Beans
jaw. Weday got in another blow on
Beams eye.
In the third round. Bean got in some
heavy blows, and all through the round,
Bean had the best of it.
Both came up smiling in the fourth.
but in a clinch Bean struck Weday IN the
ribs and cries of foul were heard all over
the house. but the referee didn't see it.
Bean landed hard on Weday'S jaw and
gave him several light taps in the face
In tho fifth round there were Dut rev
blows given that amounted to anything.
The sixth round was the hottest round
in the fight, and Bean was decidedly
ahead. Weday retired showing signs of
WEAKNESS.
The seventh round was a repetition of
the sixth, and the fight showed up ST.
more in favor of Bean.
In the eighth round, Weday landed two
blows, but it was evident that he was at
the end of his rope. Bean cleverly ducked
a few blows and at last landed over
Weday's heart a few seconds after time
was called, and Weday walked TO his cor
ner. AS soon as he sat down he tainted.
and when time was called his second
threw up the glove.
When the referee declared him the win
ner. Bean stepped to the middle of the
stage and turned a back handspring. 1t
was feared for some time that Weday
was killed, but in about 10 minutes he re-
vived and was taken home.
With the exception of a black eye, Bean
seemed unhurt and walked off the stage
apparently as fresh as when he came on
for the first round. The work of Bean
was a surprise to all who Jaw him for
the first time, and it was generally con-
coded that the Mormon Cyclone" is a

to organize volunteer corps for the OPP

FARMERS AND F|REMEN.
TWO DIFFICULT WATER WAY
PROBLEMS FOR THE CITY.
The Firemen's Relief Fund and Its
Condition-The Council Committee
Wants to Control It.

The city council committee on irri-
cation last evening wrestled with the
problem of how to settle differences
with the farmers on the southeast
bench, who have felt aggrieved at the
city's action of late in the summer,
when the Parley's canal was aban-
doned. The abandonment of the canal
increased the supply of water in the
pipe system fully a million gallons a
day, but it terminated the agreement
with the farmers with reference to
the use of the Pleasant View ditch
When the agreement was entered into
in 1888, there We're 400 feet of flume,
but the city's actions from time to time
have resulted in the fumes reaching a
total length Of 3771 feet The agree
ment provides that the Pleasant View
ditch, whenever abandoned by the city,
shall be restored to the farmers in as
good condition as il originally was. To
do so means that the city shall bear
the expense of maintaining the fumes
in excess of the original length or TO
put the ditch back into solid ground.
Henry Harris, George Longson and
John Edwards, representing the farm
ers, appeared before the committee, but
no conclusion was reached, and an
other conference viii be held Monday
evening.
The petition of the North Point Irri-
cation company, for immediate relief
from the trans-Jordan drain water
problem, in accordance with the su-
preme court decree, was up before the
committee, but on Secretary Parsons
request, the matter went over till Mon
day evening, when the company's at
tOrney and the city attorney will be
present to elucidate the law points in
volved. To effect the desired perma-
nent relief, the city will have to extend
the surplus canal to Salt lake.
GULBRANSEN'S CLAIM.
The fire and police committee decided
to recommend allowance of half of
Fireman Gulbransens claim of $40 for
reimbursement for medical expense in
Cured by reason of his having broken
both his arms early last summer while
drilling with the ladder crew. While
discussing this matter, the committee
decided to take steps to secure to its
control the firemen's relief fund. which
is frequently swelled by contributions
from fire sufferers. This fund is now
controlled by the fire chief, and little
information can be CLEANED
about its condition by members of the
or the firemen.
