Congratulations to His holiness.

Some of the persOnages who were
received in audience by the pope con-
graduated him upon the receipt of the
unexpected millions alleged to have
been taken to him by Cardinal GOtti.
In answer the pontiff smiled and said:

Rome Tribuna Was Too Enter
prising in Finding That Money
for the Pontiff.
so THEY SAY AT THE VATICAN
They Wish It Had Been True, for the
Pope Is in Need of MOney-Pe-
ter's Pence Fall or.

Rome, Dec. 21.-At the Vatican the
statementOf The Tribuna that Cardinal
Gotti, prefect of the propaganda, had
handed Pope Plus $9.000,000 in bank
notes, said to have been contided to
Cardinal Gotti by the late Pope Leo,
was denied. The facts are said to be
that the present pope, Immediately aft
er his ascension to the throne, received
$S.4O0.0O0, as indicated in part of the
late pope's will which was not made
public. The delivery of the money was
effected by Cardinals Gotti, Rampolla
and Cretoni, Pope LeO's executors, and
this gave rise to the story in The Tri-
buna.

Holy See in Need of Money.

The financial condition of the holy
see is unsatisfactory and causes the
pope preoccupation. When the tenn
pOral power fell Plus IN maintained
the salaries of all the clerks, officers
and soldiers who did not take service
under the Italian government, which
represented great outlay for years.
Recently salaries and pensions were di
minished. but even now the annual eX
penditure of the Vatican amounts to
about 81. 100000. At the death of Pope
Plus IX the amount at the disposal Of
the holy see did not reach $S.000,000.
The contributions known as Peters
pence" which have been one of the
chief sources of the holy see, have di-
minished. especially in France.
She Sent Him to the Republicans.
A priest of one of the ariStOcratic
French parishes was in the habit while
in the quest of Peters pence" TO call
yearly on devOut lady, and receive
81 900 from her. After the papaI adhe
sion to the republic the priest paid his
annual visit to the lady. who said: "Oh.
yes. 1t is our duty to assist the holy
father ThereupOn she gave the priest
81. Noticing the look of stupefactiOn
she remarked: The pontiff is now the
friend of the Republicans. They will
help him." In Il Jesuit church here,
one of the most fashionable in Rome. it
has been difficult to collect $50 for Pc
ter's pence" Such Il situation render
ed it necessary to use the capital Of
the holy see. which is a matter of most
serious thought on the part of Pope
Plus. who has ordered that the strict
est economy be observed.

Mississippi at St. Louis.

State Commissioner Henry and
the Mississippi exposition bureau
are actively engaged in bringing
together n creditable exhibit of the
products and resources of the
State. Before June is far adj
vanced it is proposed to have in
each county an auxiliary organiza-
tion that will cooperate with the
State bureau in procuring ex-
hibits from field, orchard, mill and
mine. Governor Longino will
doubtless soon name the county
commissioners. The State bureau
desires the appointment of six in
each county, hoping in that way
to secure comprehensive and eff
fective organization throughout
the State. When the county com
missioners report what they can
furnish, then ii becomes the duty
of the State bureau to say what
shall be forwarded, and how much
of each accepted article.
1t is planned TO have an exhibit
NJ 81 lIOu
turing establishment in the State,
and this in itself, if complete,
would make a surprising exhibit,
chiefly because Mississippi is con
sidered an agricultural State. The
bureau will in this way attempt to
show the present and the future OF
the State. Mississippi has no
Pittsburg to draw upon, but when
all its manufacturing concerns
send fine specimens of their work
the sum of them will be gratifying
and satisfactory.
All exhibits are to be made
ready by the first day of next De
cember, and no one need doubt
but that the State will be well rep
r. scented at ST. Louis. Much de
ponds upon the work of the county
commissioners. but county pride
ought to be sufficient to induce
them to put their best foot fore
most. and no doubt it will.-Me-

Solomon was a man who lived
so long in one country that he was
the whole thing. He was an awful
wise man and one day two women
came TO him, each holding to the
leg of baby and both claiming it.
solomon wasn't feeling just right
good and said: why couldn't the
little brats been born twins and
stopped this bother?' And he
called for his machette aud was
going to whack the kid in two and
give each woman a piece of it when
the real many said: Stop, stay
thy hand. let the old bag take the
kid, if | can't have whole baby
| won't have whole hog or
none" Solomon told her to tax e
the kid home and wash him. for
be knew it was hers. Then he told
the other woman to go chase her
self. King Solomon built Solo
mons Temple. and was the daddy
of all Masons. My papa says Sol.

had 700 wives and 33 lady friends.

1t is suggested that in order to
prevent the Confederate reunions
from becoming top heavy" the
Sons of Veterans should fix diff
ferent time and place for their an
nual meetings. And ii would be
well also for the Daughters of the
Confederacy TO meet at some other
place and on some other date than
that fixed on for the Veterans an
nual gathering. Otherwise the
weight of the joint organizations
will soon swamp the whole bust

Two Systems to Consolidate.

Atlanta, Ga, May 25.-The Con-
stitution tomorrow will say: The
Southern Railway and the Mobile
and Ohio Railway will consolidate
July | if there is no hitch in the
present plans of the arrangement
of those roads.
This information has not yet
been officially announced, but it is
learned on good authority that
such is the intention of the con.
trolling interests of the two rail
ways.
The Southern has owned a ma.
jority of the stock of the Mobile
and Ohio for some time, and 1t was
the intention TO consolidate them
i'm April, but the fact that there
was considerable Legislative excite
ment at that time in the State Of
Mississippi caused the manage
ment of the Southern to postpone
the matter. 1t was deemed the
wiser course to wait until this feel
ing had somewhat subsidized befor,
making public the fact that the
two great systems would be unitet
under one management.
1t is probable that the name o
the Mobile and Ohio will be useC
no longer than July, and tina
thereafter the lines composing tina
system will be operated under tn
name of the Southern Railwa,
Company.

No matter what the character of
the legislature or the value of its
work. there always is found some
one to make disparaging remarks,
and to thank God. in accents more
or less energetic, that the session
has not proved to be the ruin of the
people. Yet, should it not be plain
to all, that, whatever are the de-
fects of a body of Legislators, the
people are at bottom table :?
A stream can rise no higher than
its source If the Legislature is
weak, wasteful of time and the pub
lies money. ignorant of the force
of the laws it enacts, is it not a
reflection upon the intelligence
and probity of the people who
elected it?-Mobile Register.
