When your American millionaire wants anything hs wants the best, ob- served an Englishman, who was a queens messenger in victoria's reign. He's willing to pay wei for 1t, too.

 "A few minutes later a short, fat man who conveyed the general effect of too much diamond stud and watch chain was ttshered in.
 T rose to meet him.

this museum occupies the apartments which were formerly used by the rjopes The museum is open to the public sew eral days in the week.
 The Lateran palace is one of the four pieces of property which the Italian government did not take from the pops at the time of the occupation of Rome. It adjoins the church of St. John. the oldest in the Eternal city, and some of the officers of that church have apart ments in the palace, among them Cardi- nal Satolli, the arch priest, who occupies a magnificent suite of 1s rooms beauti- fully furnished. The church and palace are in the southeast part of the city. near the walls of Aurelian and Honor jus. The church is 8 fine specimen Of architecture, and contains many inter esting works of art. It was long re- garded as the first of Christian churches bearing over the door the inscription: "Omnium urbis ct orbis ecclesiarum mater ct caput." Five general councils were held under it's roof and the popes used to be crowned in it. and the cere- rnony of taking possession of the Later an basilica was one of the first in the installation of the new pontiff.
 Besides the Lateran and the vatican palaces, the holy see possesses the palace of the Cancellaria, which is now used as the seat of all the Roman con- gregations, and the beautiful villa of Castel Gandolfo, a short distance from Rome, which is now occupied by monks I< 1&Aa wY5fs granted it's use
 AS has already been said, if Plus x. does restore the Lateran palace as d residence of the popes, the absence Of gardens about the palace will bring the pope more into the public eye than his immediate predecessors, as his walks and drives will take him out into the busy scenes and life of the city and it's environs This will afford the world a new view of the life of the head of the Catholic church, and will in turn bring him into closer. more vital contact with the masses This democratic tendency of the pope and his desire to restore this palace to it's former glory and use is singularly like the policy of his pre- decessor in name, Pope Plus Ix., to whose efforts was largely due the presI- ervation of the coliseum and other ancient buildings. There is no doubt that the removal of Plus K to Lateran palace and his frequent appearance in public as he goes out to take fresh air and exercise will be especially pleasing and gratifying to the Catholics of Rome and all Italy.
