POPE ExCHANGEs GREETINc

Rome, Dec. 23.-The pope received all
the cardinals and high prelates today
and they exchanged the seasons greet
ings. The function was unusually in
teresting, as it was the first of the
kind under the present pontiff
The reception took place in the gor-
geous throne room of the private
apartments of the late Pope Leo XIII
now renovated and used as Pope Plus
public reception room. The pontiff, in
spotless white robes, was seated on
the throne, while the cardinals ranged
themselves in front of him, according
to precedence. Behind them were the
other church dignitaries in their order.
The dean of the sacred college, Car
dinal Oreglia, read a short, happily
worded speech, to which the pope re-
piled With his usual affability and
modesty
The address of Cardinal oregIia was
or a religious character. The pope, in
reply, spoke of the need of humility and
the detachment of all followers of
Christ from the world and the redemp-
ton offered to all without reference to
social or political positions The Lord,
he said came to save ali the people.

JOYOUS CHRISTMAS
At Kearns St. AIMS orphanage-The
Little Ones All Made Happy.

Wednesday afternoon Santa Claus
visited the children of st. AIMS or
phanage. He came laden with precious
gifts. All the little ones. over 100, re-
ceived a substantial and useful gift. No
happier crowd of children could he
found anywhere. In the large hall the
platform was decorated with little
chairs dolls, balls, books, candy, work
mas toys. Mrs. j. W. Wood, who do
mated dozens of neatly bound books,
was present to enjoy the distribution.
Mrs NJ H. Walker were interested
spectators, and enjoyed the musical
programme which preceded the distri-
button. Mrs. Kearns, the real Santa
Claus, picked out for each child It's
Christmas gift, which was handed tc
the children by Edmund and little
Thomas Kearns. Another pleasing in
ciGent of the distribution was the hand
ing to each child an autograph letter
from Bishop Scanlan to the children
who write to him their Christmas greet
irgs every year. Mr.. David Keith,
though absent, did not forget the little
ones. His Geographic greetings were
to have all well supplied With good
turkey dinner on Christmas. This was
supplemented by Senator Kearns' order
for the best beef in the market, to-
gether with a carload of coal Long
live the generous donors and sympa-
thizers of those dear little children. who
will always retain happy and pleasant
memories of their innocent days spent
at Kearns st. AIMS orphanage.

Madam Adelina Patti, the world
! famed singer, whose picture is printed
. herewith, will be with us on Monday,
/ Jan. +, to delight the lovers of the
! grand, the sublime and the beautiful
! in the soul-enchanting dreamland of
1 musical talent and art Those who
saw and heard her some twelve or
fourteen years ago will be all the more
! DESTROYS to see and hear her again,
While those who have never seen nor
| heard her will not have folly enough
to miss this never to be forgotten treat
it will be their last chance.
The history of Madam PATHS life is
as interesting as her talent is unique.
Two st. Louis ladies speak of remem-
! bering Adelina Patti in that city when
she was a mere slip of\a girl. She
was then about 9 years of age, and no
prettiness had yet. developed. She
was very wild. too. and used to give
her big brother-in -law. Maurice Stra
kosch, no end of trouble. The little
company was detained in st. Louis for
six weeks by reason of the river being
frozen over, there being no bridges in
those days.
1t is marvellous to think that she
sings there again just about one-half
century later. Now metropolis, st.
Louis was then little more than Il
frontier town.
Thus the desire to see and hear Patti
has been gratified during a remark
able span Of life. She has sung al
most the world over. and here in Amer
lea, where her voice received its first
recognition and where she achieved her
first triumDhs, she has returned with
such frequency that the Patti farewell
tours have become a byword. 1t is
only natural that the tours should have
been thus designated. for Patti has al
ways been well managed, and her man
ayers have been keenly alive to the
unique distinction that was hers. No
other such figure had ever appeared in
all the history of song. To be sure,
there were great singers before Patti
and great singers contemporary with
her, but there has never been another
Adelina Patti, never another singer
who combined with q birdlike voice a
dramatic genius of acting her song as
she could.
Her life story smacks of fiction. 1t
begins in such humble paths and trav-
erses such highways of roses, reaps
such stores of riches and acquires so
much OF all that is coveted by human
kind that it seems a fairy tale which
even an active imagination could
scarcely improve upon. 1t may be said
of her that she has found her heaven
here upon earth, and it might as truly
be said of her that she has given null
titudes in many countries heavenly
Of pure unalloyed bliss.
1t seems a pity that such a voice |
should ever fade. for there is none to /
replace it. There are other singers,
but only one Patti. and the fifty years |
she has been before the public have |
not developed a single rival the world !
over to compare with her.
Nor will this voice ever be heard |
again. This time it is the last. Those |
who miss her will miss forever the final
strains of the greatest of all singers.

It is an old saying that six per cent
men rule the world Money ont at
interest makes a man independently
rich quicker than anything else One
should always get good security when
lending money. Never lend to a
friend, because that leads to the loss
of both the money and friend. The
best security in the world is a real
estate mortgage on good improved
property in a city like Salt Lake There
are firms which make a business of
lending money for clients on such Sc
curities, and the business has proven
very successful and satisfactory for
many years. McGurrin & Co. of Salt
Lake City are the most prominent in
this line. The owner of the money
gets s per cent year and holds the
security himself. Besides the security
of the mortgage, the bond is guaran-
