common sense and love of humor that

man, of fine presence, with a kindly,
almost boyish face under a crown Of
white hair. Dressed all in white, as
the popes always are, he is a striking
figure. Among other endearing names
he has been given is s'the man with

way from a peasants cottage to the

sure that it has been caused indirectly
by constipation and consequently you
must first of all take something to
move the bowels. This is what has

Joking With Monks.

In regard to sitting in the pope's
presence an amusing story is told. A
company of monks called on Plus <.
one day, and he begged them to take
Eeats. Knowing the old custom that
Zone was to be seated in the holy ia
theirs presence except cardinals, they
seemed timid and hesitating. Observ-
ing their reluctance, he said brusquely,
but not unkindly:

In his youth Giuseppe Sarto was
called by the affectionate diminutive
"Beppo,' name that his family gives
him to this day. When in school Bep-
pc found an old friend bedridden and
in danger of starvation through power
ty. The young student had no money,
but out of the slender ration supplied
him at the seminary he gave the in
valid the larger share and kept this up
until the old man died three months
later His sisters found 1t necessary
to lock up their meager supplies in the
kitchen to keep him from giving his
and their food away to some poverte
stricken beggar.
One morning after Giuseppe became
a parish priest he rose at his usual
hour of 5 o'clock and finding the sac
ristan was still in bed opened the
church for an early worshiper The
unaccustomed act shocked the worship
er, who proposed to call the sacristan.
'sNo, no! Let him alone" said the fu-
ture pope. s'Don't you think am
able to open door myself? When I
shall be old and i'll he will open the
door and will stay in bed.'''
Notwithstanding his simple living
and abstemious habits Pope Plus is
bothered with govt. One of the old
fashions Of those calling on the head
of the church was to kiss his foot.
This custom the present pope has dis
continued along with others of similar
nature. When one delegation asked
for the old privilege of kissing the
papal toe he replied, mo, it is ILL.,"

Noon Today.

An embryo panic ensued about II
o'clock today in the Corcoran building
when the alarm of fire was turned In
for what was supposed to be a fire on
the fifth floor
The corridors were filled with smoke
and a number OF the employees on that
floor rushed to the elevator and down
the stairways so that they could leave
the building before the fire had gained
considerable headway.
The attention OF the outside crowd
was called by the frantic appeals OF
the girls at the windows. The excite
ment was short-lived, however, for
upon the arrival Of the engines and
the police from No. precinct. the fears
of the employees were aIlayed.
The investigation conducted by Cap
tain Williams showed that smoke in
great quantities was pouring through
a crack in the wall on the stairway
shaft on the NTH floor. The janitor OF
the building said that there was no nue
or ventilation shaft Of any kind in that
part of the building and the presence
of smoke there could not be accounted
for.
Several times the corridors OF the
building on this floor have been filled
with smoke The flremen were not

Excise Board Defends
Position and Declares
1t Acted Legally.

Although not officially decided uDon
1t was announced today that the excise
board Will grant the application Of John
Z Thomas TO establish a barruom in
the new Union Station. This action
followed The decision Of Assessor L. ".
w. Griffin chairman exofficio, that he
signature OF George ". Martin is all
that is required in granting the consent
OF the Washington Terminal Company
10 the establishment Of the saloon. The
consent of the company is all that is
necessary, as the barroom will be re-
moved 20 feet from any other building.
The fact that the application was in
legal form and that all the require
ments Of the law have been complied
with IS given by the board as a reason
for favorable action in this case.
Although not required 10 state as a
matter OF record, their approval or dis
approval Of applications for LIQUOR

today that the application in question
was in conformity with the law. and
they could see no justifabIe reason for

contention of KaIbfus.
Samuel Kalbfus. speaking personally
and not Cor the board. said that he is
of the opinion that there Will be no
complaints concerning the management
OF the saloon in the station.
There was never a complaint lodged
against the saloon in the old Sixth street
station, and I am sure the same con-
dition win prevail in the new Union
Station" said Mr. haIbfus- Il doubt
whether the majority of the travelling
public will know Of the existence of d
bar-rOom. There were many protests
against the granting of the license, but
viewing the situation from a legal and
not a sentimental standpoint, I could
see no reason why the application should
be rejected
Mathew Trimble expressed himself as
concurring in this opinion.
Assessor L. w. w. Griffin said also
that ne felt that the board was justified
in granting the license as to reject it
because of the protests would have been
absurd.
In reference to the rejection of estab-
lishment of the saloon, Albert Z. Shoe
maker, attorney for the AnU-SaIOon
League, who conducted the case for the

q, 600 people. These protests have been
ignored by the board as Of no conse-
