Monday, the Pope to-day gave audiences
to between 5000 and 600 German. Aus
TRAN and Belgian pilgrims, who fled past
him In the throne room Of the Vatican and
received his blessing.
Reports concerning the condition Of the
Pope continue to be conflicting. Late this
evening 1t Was rIfnored that he had suffered
a relapse owing to the fatigue Of the recep-
ton to-day, but this II denied In other
quarters.
LONDON, March s.-The contradictory
nature of the reports concerning tho con-
dition OF the Pope is evidenced by the
Information sent to the London papers by
their correspondents at Rome.
One says that. despite recent rumors,
His Holiness is enjoying excellent health
Another says that he Ia very weak, adding
that the Duke Of Norfolk, who Is In Rome
waiting for an audience with the Pope,
had not been received at late hour on Sun
day He expected that the British pilgrims
would be invited to an audience on Monday
Another correspondent declares that
the British pilgrims were received with
the others on Sunday afternoon. the Duke
Of Norfolk introducing separately the
numerous Catholic peers in the party. to
each Of whom the Pope spoke kind word.
Other reports concur in saying that the
British have not yet been received.
PARIS. March e.-Fioaro says that the
Pope. at a private audience on Feb. s
spoke in a photograph the benediction
he intended to deliver on March .. He
also repeated an Ave Maria into the ma
chine. He authorized the reproduction OF

his voice.

THE CURE FOR RIOTIN6.
DR.. Markee Knew u When He saw -.
and Became Q Prophet.

Some OF New York's well-known physi-
clans were indulging the reminiscent mood
after dinner a few evenings ago, and one
Of them told a story OF the late DR.. Thomas
NJ. Markoe which caused the company to
smile grimly.
DIR. Markoe came TO Bellevue in 1872.
he said. during the Orange riots. After
making his usual rounds one day. instead
OF leaving promptly. as was his custom. he
remarked: I think III wait around q little
think there may something happen to-day
Some time later the first patient was
brought in. He was a man shot through
the shoulder. That won't stop riots.
"A little later Eve bodies were brought in
DR.. Markoe put on his hat and started out.
As he was going he said to us dryly: Gen
tlemen. this Is the last serious riot any OF
you will live to see In the streets OF New
York
DR.. d. B. st. j. Roosa told story Of the
late Counsellor Nolan, who, he said. de-
Tended a man charged with stealing gun.
The man was acquitted, largely, it was
thought, through the lawyers ingenious
eloquence. A few days later Nolan was
accosted on the street by a powerfully
built woman who beamed upon him as she
button holed him. He strove gently to
pass on, but the woman said In a hearty
voice:
Sure you don't know me, and it's too
bad, II Is. For I'm Mrs Mulligan and ii g the
wise Counsellor Nolan l want to thank
for clearing my man for the theft Of the
gun"
Nolan, who as you all know. was punc-
tilious,- said Dr. Roosa, hastened to say
TO her. The alleged theft Of the gun, you
mean. Mrs. Mulligan.'
.'Oh. bother the alleged said she, come
upstairs and III show you the gun
the moment, DR.. Roosa remarked that when
he was q young man at the New York Hos
pital forty gunshot wounds were treated
there one Fourth Of July. That was when
Xe really celehrated the FOURTH he said.
