WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
At the first sitting his Holiness had grant
ed me the Pope pronounced against the
nude in art SO authoritatively TO make
my humble argument in favor of the cri;i-
cised fellow-artist fall fat.
And though I had followed a generous
impulse rather than foolish inclinat ion
for debate, was sorry for what had said,
or rather had attempted to express.
This being the first time. to my know!-
edge, that the infaiIible Pope has given ut
terance on tie subject, deem it incumbent
upon me TO reproduce his words literally.
The circumstances that conferred upon
me the great happiness OF personal inter-
course with Leo Mi are here set down.
Having gone TO Rome with the fixed IN
tention TO create portrait of the supreme
pontin. sought the kindly intervention OF
G high FreEch ecclesiastic, Cardinal Ma
thieu. formerly Archbishop of Toulouse.
,Monseigneur Matthew kindly took me before
Cardinal Rsmpollo. papal secretary of
State, and Endorsed my petition for an au-
dience. His Eminence submitted my case
to the Pope the same morning. and a few
days later l was commander to be at the

The POpc's Chamberlain.
We were conducted into a small parlor.
where a papai chamberlain met us with
every show of politeness. There were sew
eral Cardinals sitting about at small desks
engaged In writing. And as i regarded
these princes Of the church in their long
trained scarlet robes. the poor limitations
of them had seen on the stage rose up be-

few seconds and bowed very low. Then
walked TO the center Of the room and
bowed again, our host meantime smiling
pleasantly. as IL to encourage me. I heard
afterwards that good many of the Pope.s
visitors are somewhat overcome when
standing IN his presence. Leo. a very busy
man. likes to cut short the period of in

on one knee upon the edge of the dais.

Prote.. Against Change In oyster Law.

Protest Against Change In Oyster Law.
Ocean Springs. large and repre-
sentative gathering of citizens met at
Fireman's hall Friday night, in re-
sponse to call issued by Mayor F.
NJ. Weed, to protest against the pro.
posed bill to be introduced in the
State legislature to amend the State
oyster laws 80 as to place the control
of public oyster beds under the con-
troll of the county board of superyi-
sors, to lease the same to private COR
porations; also, to permit dredging in
less than fourteen feet of water. The
sentiment Of the people of this vicin-
ity is unanimously opposed to any
such amendment. Last nights meet.
ing passed strong resolutions, pro-
testing against such action on the
part of the legislature. A petition
was also submitted calling on the
coast representatives and senators to
do all in their power to defeat such
measure, il introduced. Such bill,
II passed, would virtually crowd out
the smaller dealers and fishermen.
and leave the large concerns, who are
able to lease oyster grounds, in full
.ontrol OF the oyster industry.
