POPE APPROVES PREsIDENT.-Th
Pope recently received in private au-
dience Monsignor L. Haid, titular bishop
of Messena and vicar apostolic of North
Carolina, and Thomas st. John Gafney,
of New York city. To Bishop Had the
Pope expressed his full approval of
President Roosevelt's attitude on the
negro question. To Mr.. Gafiney the
Pope said: "When you return to your
country please tell the President that
esteem and admire him greatly. He is
true leader of men," The two visitors
found the Pope comparatively well, but
an effort was necessary for the Holy
Father to speak with his accustomed
energy. DR.. Bernard Skulik, of La
Sale, ILL.,, was also received by the
Pope. A prelate whose official position
brings him near the Pope for several
hours each day said: cleo is not i'll
in the strict sense of the word, as he
continues to grant audiences, but the
state of his health is far from satisfactory.

much swollen and ofalivid color. they

THE STRIKE epidemic is invading
churches, and according to a dispatch
from Milwaukee a Bohemian Catholic
priest has gotten himself in trouble for
Directing to members Of the choir max
ing faces at him while he oficiates. In
order TO bring such procedures to close
he removed two members of the choir,
iacluding Sister, who played the
organ. Yesterday morning at early mass
he reproved his congregation and the
members of the choir for their improper
behavior and he was left without a con-
gregation. The entire congregation
numbering about three hundred persons,
rs we'll as the choir, walked out, leaving
him with none to whom he might
preach. Even the three Sisters who
teach the parish school resented his
punishment of the organist, and left.
AT the morning service, when the con-
gregation was to have gathered again,
the church floors were locked. There
was no church held, and there will be
none, the priest says, until penance has
been done.

Roman roadmaker. The natives-the
Salassi-were among the most pugna-
cious of the Alpine tribes, and so far
from submitting, like those at the foot
Of the Mount Cents, they lost no
chance Of making themselves not less
unpleasant to their lowland neighbors
than is the general wont of highland
ers. When at last a Roman army had
stamped out the nuisance, good care
was taken that it should not occur.
A fortified town was built in an open
part of the valley where the roads join

village home, purchased a central
block of land. and this is what it was

houses and lots, secured the whole
block for his residence. He spent
a good deal of money on the place,
