There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin on
Wednesday. Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every
twenty years. October always begins
ON the same day of the week ms Janu
airy. April as July, September as De-
cember. February. March and Novem-
ber begin on the same day. May. June
and August always begin on different
days from each other. and every other
month in the year. The first and last
days of the year are always the same.
These rules do not apply to leap year,
when comparison is made between
days before and after Fob. 20.

PoPE's LETTER TO THE FRENCH.
Contains no Reference to the Dreyfus Case
Duties OF French Clergy.

Special Gable D.spatsAes to THE sux.
PARIS. Sept. 1B.-The anxiously expected
encyclical letter OF tho Pope to the French
people was issued to-day and will appear in to-
morrow's edition Of the UnirPrs. 1t does not
refer to tho Dreyfus case. being devo-
ted entirely to the duties and mission
Of the French clergy. The Pope highly
praises their pure lives. their ardent faith
and their spirit OF devotion and self
sacrifice. He urges them to pursue
scientific studies which. he says. are neces-
sary to combat the teachings OF agnostics.
Above all. he inculcates obedience to their
Bishops ana tells them to avoid public moet-
ings. The Pope reminds them that he recently
warned the American Catholics to beware OF
Innovations tending to replace the prinop pies
OF Christian perfection by manners more or
less impreRnated with naturalism.
The encyc!ical highly applauds modern
increase in the patronage of the sciences and
anything else that may contribute to augment
or spread public prosperity, but we add that
the wise authority Of the Church is necessary
in order that such progress may eflcaciously
serve the cause OF God"
ROME. Sept. 16.-The Pope's letter to the
French people Is one OF the longest documents
his Holiness ever wrote. 1t is written in
French and is addressed to the Bishops and
clergy OF France. 1t gives them minute in
structons in regard to the education OF tho
people and their duties in the m after OF charity
by means Of spiritual works. especially among
tho workngmen. There Is no allusion 10 the
Dreyfus affair. The appeal for pacincation OF
spirit Is an indirect reference.

of Only Possible.
President Seth Low OF Colum bia University.
ono OF the United States Commissioners to the
International Peace Conference at The Hague.
returned to this country on the steamship St.
Louis. which arrived yesterday morning. Rela-
tive to the work and results OF the Peace Con-
ference. President Low said:
The meeting at The Hague was most inter-
esting because It was probably the first
assembly OF international Importance at which
representatives from America and Asia joined
hands In common work with the men OF
Europe The main point Of the whole thing is
that arbitration has been made easy. IL was
only possible before. There Is great public
opinion in the air In favor OF arbitration. And
so is there great deal OF electricity In the air.
and that electricity is useless until there Ia
q motor. The Peace Conference has furnished
the standing parts OF the machinery which will
admit Of the practical working Of arbitration.
1t has furnished the motor"
When asked for an opinion on tho Dreyfns
verdict. President Low replied: Il am sorry
that he has been convicted again. Although
that Is n question on which none but a
Frenchman can speak with authority. It
did not seem to me that any evidence OF
guilt was forthcoming. Outside OF France that
is the general opinion throughout Europe. 1t
is a most serious affair for the French people.
and because OF the sharp clash between the
civil and the military authorities the question
is a much larger one than that OF the mere per-
sonality OF Dreyfus."
