No Circulation Initiation

The Times takes returns
from news dealers in a man
ner usual TO all newspapers
Like other papers, it does not
accept returns from DeWshOys.
The circulation is in no way
inflated. By The Times sFs-
TEN il is impossible for anyone
to get the paper who does not
pay for II. The agents pay
the Office cash each day for the
papers they buy-the news
dealers pay them weekly. This
leaves no opening for bad &C.

STIR OVER FINE ARTS.
Rome Circular About Ancient Mon
uments Arouses the Vatican.

Special tablegram TO The star.
ROME, October 2s.-The fine arts de-
partment recently issued a circular re-
garding the preserv alton of ancient mon
uments and objects of art now IN the
archieves of the churches. and hence
kept by the clergy. The Vatican evidently
considers the circular a threat and Mgr.
Benigni, under secretary of the extraOr-
binary ecclesiastical affairs las written
a pamphlet containing practical instruc-
tons to the clergy for the preservation
of ecclesiastical documents and monu-
ments. This is more complete and more
practical than any issued by the fine arts
department. 1t is therefore probable
that the artistic archaeological treasures
of the church in the future Will not only
be better catalogued and preserved than
those Of the state. but better illustrated.
Every diocese must have a special COM
mission to carry cut the instructions. Spe-
cial lectures Will DE given at the seminary
and members Of the clergy VIII be re-
quested to examine. study and illustrate
the different monuments. etc, in their
dioceS. The Vatican library will he in
trusted with the work of repairing and
interpreting old manuscripts and books.
