THEFT AND CONFESSION.
Loss of Money In a Bank DiscOvered
Through the Aid of Q
Priest.

In one of the downtown banks the
other day the balance sheet showed
$50 missing. That started trouble for
the whole Institution. Until nearly
midnight the whole force was kept
busy searching for that half century,
but to no avail, reports the Pittsburg
Gazette. The search continued the
next day and the next, but nowhere
could be found a trace of the short
change. Finally it was given up, but
the matter was not allowed to rest
there. The loss was narrowed down to
three or four clerks, and their records
were thoroughly investigated. Not a
trace of gambling OF drinking was
found. but every man in the bank who
could have gotten his hands on the
money felt the finger of suspicion
pointing his way.
The situation was tense for nearly
a week. Then one morning Catholic
clergyman called on the cashier. In
the confessional he had been told by a

The popes had no temporal power till the
days of Pepin. Charlemagne confirmed the
grants of his father and erected the holy
Roman empire, which was never shattered
till Napoleon changed the face of Europe.
.Charlemagne journeyed to Rome and was
crowned by Leo III in old ST. Peters on
Christmas day, 800.
The greatest among popes was Hide
brand, styled Gregory VII, who assumed
the tiara in 1918. He raised the papacy to
the highest pinnacle it every attained; rem
dered it Independent of the imperial power,
which made it for ages the great bulwark
of order in Europe. He abolished lay-in-
vestiture and forbade the marriage of
priests, even compelled separation of those
who were married, to insure greater sancti-
ty, he claimed, yet the great prototype,
Eeter, had wife. With his feud with Hen
ry W, emperor of Germany, began that
quarrel between the secular and spiritual
dominions which reversed the positions of
pope and emperor and gave the papacy a
long and triumphant career of supreme DOM
ination in Europe. Henry would not tamely
submit having his imperial power subject
to the papacy. The naughty, iron-willed

who would make a pilgrimage to Rome.
Two millions visited it in one year. 1t was
the beginning of pope's jubilee and has
since been celebrated every 25 years. Philip
sent emissaries to seize the pope's person.

He was soon released and died a month la

wrote of him that he gained the popedom
like fox, lived it like lion, and died like
a dog" Dante assigned him place in his
Inferno-indeed, Dante admitted neither
pope nor cardinal into Paradise, but there
are hosts of them in the Inferno.

The greatest work of Plus VI, l775, was
the draining of the Pontine marshes. He
had the modification to witness the abso-
lutte decay of the holy see. He lost Avignon,
was deprived of all authority in Rome-by
the order of Napoleon was taken to France
as prisoner, where he died.
Plus VII, in 1900, was elected pope by
French influence, Napoleon astonishing the
world by saying, Society without religion
is like a ship without compass" Plus re-
stored the Jesuits. Hoping to save the
wreck of papal power, he reluctantly con-
scented to go to Paris to crown Napoleon,
who crowned himself and treated the pope
with little respect. When Napoleon donned
the iron crown at Milan, Plus refused to
be present. He refused to recognize Joseph
Bonaparte as king of Naples and to shut his
ports against English ships, and even threat
ened to excommunicate Napoleon himself.
On refusing to renounce all claims to tenn
porai power he was taken prisoner, carried
to France and confined in Fontainebleau.
After Waterloo, he was released: and the
papal territories in Italy restored.
Plus TX, 1916, began his pontifcate by
releasing all political prisoners. He pro-
claimed papal infallibility dogma of the
