IT IS NOT so GREAT
Peters Pence Collection in. the Unite.
States Below Published Estimates,
Says Mar. Falconio.

Washington, Feb. Tt was recently
published in some Roman papers that
he Peters pence collection in the Unit.
ed States for the last year had been
ly copied by the American press and
accepted as true by clergy and people.
Mgr. Diomede Falconio, the apostolic
delegate and the medium through
which the money is coneyey to the
pope, has taken issue with the report
and has authorized this statement:
From Ii year 1894 to the year 1905.
eleven years, the total amount received
at the legation for the Peters pence.
including the annual collection and 9th,
er donations. was $S2S, 70S. &c, which Isl
an average Of SIS, 337.15 per year. ADJ
ding to this mount such collections as
have been sent direct to Rome, or per-
ona presented to the holy father by
the Visiting bishops during the same
period. the total annual receipts would.
at h most liberal estimate. ayerape
the sum of 500, 900.
After the appeal made last wear nv
the apostolic delegate the Peters pence
collection IN the United States has in
creased. During the a 1905 only
collections to the delegation, and these
amounted to $7S,572.30. To this sum
may be added donations from different
sources received the same year, which.
amounted to $%10,162.68 and which
makes a total of $83,7349S.
However. owing to the visits ad
limina which many of the archbishops
and bishops made during the last yearl
much OF the Peters pence collection
was presented personally to the holy
father. The total amount Of these ofS
ferings has not yet been communicated
to the delegate, but from the above
given figures it is evident that the

ARTIFICIAL LAMe CHOP.
Foolish Butcher Tried to Impose on Dr.
Wiley.

Washington, Feb. 7.--Snugly reposl
ing in a pasteboard oox on the Uttered
desk of DIR. Wiley, head of the chemi-
cal bureau Of the agricultural departl
ment, is the best argument in favor of
a pure food Law which has yet come
under the notice Of the authorities. 1t
is nothing more nor less than an ar
tificial lamb chop, which a clever. but
INSCRIPTIONS butcher had foisted upon
the family table in DR.. Wiley's own
house.
The imitation was made up of a piece
OF comparatively unstable meat, prob
ably taken from somewhere about the
neck. A bone which previously had
been in use, because 1T showed signs Of
having been broiled or boiled, at ON
stage, was carefully inserted in little
Sits in the piece of neck. and fastened
over with something resembling cartill
ages. SO that the effect at first glance
was that Of an ordinary lamb chop.

those concerned act promptly. The
absurd card, headed by the United

principle is recognized by the %concoctor
of the card, who says Mr.. Nicholas
Longworth.' instead OF the Hon. Mich
ola Longworth, M. c. because Miss
Alice is going to wed the man, not the

Mrs. Roosevelt. the first lady in the
land, is not the mother Of Miss Alice,
and. consequently. the expression their

too suggestive of the strong-minded
