THE POPE'S INCOME.
Leo XIII. Is Said to Be 4 Man Of
Limited Means.
Sources from Which the PontiR De-
rives His Revenue-Has Absolute
Control of All the Vatican
Funds.

Leo XIII. is not rich man. This
much has become evident from the re-
cent and Observation-Disclosures state
ments which have come from the vati-
can as to the distribution of the pom
tiff's wealth at his death. Those most
interested in the matter are the five
nephews of the venerable statesman,
who are his only heirs, but the whole
Christian world shares in their Curl
osity-and the verdict in the question
to-day is that personally the pope is
not rich.
The pontiff, in his official capacity,
is in receipt of an annual income of
about $1,25O,O0O. Leo, the individual,
is believed to enjoy return on his
own personal Investments of not more
than 100000. What he has accumu-
lated from the latter total during the
years of his papacy, said now to
amount to something like $s5o,Ooo, will
go to the five nephews in equal parts.
The fortune left as pontiff is to be
placed under the trusteeship of three
cardinals, one of whom is said to be
Cardinal Rampolla, to be handled and
disbursed until the next pope shall
have assumed the throne.
1t is difficult to speak of these two
sources of Pope Leo's income as dis
tinguished one from the other, except
in this one matter of requests. Any
pope during his life has the free and
unquestioned use of the pontifical
funds as well as those distinctly his
own. The money contributed to the
vatican and lateran treasures, in
deed, are virtually contributed to the
holy father himself, since both house,
holds are distinctly his to run and man
age as he may choose. This statement
also applies to the nuncios and legates

10 the PnlllpplneS.l
de Villa, archbishop of Manila, has re-
signed his charge into the hands of
the pope, and the vacancy will be
filled by the appointment of pre-
late from one of the western dioceses
of the United States.
Rt. Rev. George Montgomery,
bishop of Los Angeles, CAL, is the
prelate tentatively chosen to be the
first American bishop of Manila.
There will be no departure from the
custom or usages of the Catholic
church in this nomination. Hereto
fore the archbishops of the Philip
pines have been selected from the
Spanish hierarchy. At the close of
the Spanish-American war, Arch
bishop Saenz, of Santiago de Cuba,
and Bishop Santander, of Havana, re-
signed their sees and proceeded to
Spain. Archbishop Nozaleda, of Ma
Mia, is the last of the Spanish HER
archy in Office in the colonies con-
quered from Spain. His succession
by prelate of the standing of Bish-
op Montgomery will mark the COM
plete absorption of these possessions
by the United States.
Bishop Montgomery, although resi-
dent in Los Angeles, is properly cred
tied to the old Spanish see of Nom
terey, in California. He was born in
1910, and became bishop of his pres
ent see in 1896. His mother was a
Spaniard, and he is thoroughly con-
versant with the feelings and preju-
dices of the Latin peoples, besides
speaking the language as mother
tongue.

Washington. Jan. 13.-The joint
committee OF the senate and the house
Of representatives appain;edl to make
arrangements for memorial meeting
in honor of President Mckinley at
which Secretary Hay is to deliver an
address, decided Saturday that the pro-
posed meeting should be held in the
hall of the house of representatives at
noon February %.
The decision was reached at meet.
ing of the committee held in the mar
Bile room of the senate at which Sem
ator Foraker presided. Senator Fair
banks gave an account of the sub
committees call upon and invitation to
Secretary Hay to deliver the memorial

stated that the secretary had said that
any date between February 90 and
March l would be satisfactory to him.
The chairman was authorized to APP
point an executive committee of II
to arrange the details of the ceremony,
and a committee of seven on publica-
ton of the proceedings.

ton, and that the purpose of burying
himself so deeply as he has of late in
the seclusion of his library has been
to prepare for it. Those who claim to
know the, senator's inclinations, and
bent of mind have not been surprised
to learn of his determination.
In the letter to his friend Senator
Quay states that he intends to write
under the general caption: Forty
Years in Politics" Beginning with the
opening of his career under Pennsyl-
vania's war governor, Andrew G. Cur
tin, Senator Quay has been in close
touch with all the kaleidoscope
changes in politics, not only in Penn
sylvania, but the country at large. It
is conceded that no other man in ac-
tive life to-day is better equipped in
actual experience than Senator Quay
to narrate the political history of the
last four decades.

at foreign courts, all of whom are paid
by the pope.
Leo MIL, as were his predecessors
and as his successors will be, is his
own treasurer. Secretaries by the
score carry out his orders, but the
pope is as supreme in all matters of
finances as in those of religion. The
vatican council discusses no estimates;
no yearly statements are made as to
the condition of the papal treasury.
There are six sources of revenue
from which the papal funds are re-
rived. In the first place the holy see
is the holder of considerable invest
ments in the foreign funds, just made
by Plus TX, and now yielding an in
come of about $25O,OOO a year. 'Pe-
ter's pence" the largest item upon the
credit side of the account, brings i'll
annually fully $35o,ooo. The offerings
made during jubilees, pilgrimages to
Rome and religious gatherings there
are believed to yield in the aggregate
not less than 100000 annually, while
exceptional occasions, such as the
great papal jubilee, during which one
festival the contributions reached
total of 100000, have brought that
figure to very much more considerable
proportions.
The special audiences of the pope
form the fourth source of his income,
since it is customary for the faithful
admitted to such honors to leave an
offering with the secretary on duty
in the antechamber. Most of these ac-
acknowledgements are generous in the
extreme, the duke of Norfolk, for in
stance, always handing the vatican of
ficer $500, and they will average quite
$250,O0O year. OF the contributions
made toward the expenses of the see
by the queen of Spain, the Austrian
emperor and the great and wealthy
religious orders in Rome, no definite
statement has ever been made, but re-
port places this item at 100000 or
1925. 900.
The sixth account to be considered
is that which is purely personal. In
the case of Leo XIII. it is generally ac-
cepted as about 100000 a year, being
rentals and other income derived from
his investments in real estate in vari-
Gus countries. He is known to own
propertyin Paris and Vienna, and good
authority states that he is also a hold
er in buildings and lands in Liverpool,
New York and Marseilles.
