APOSTOLIC MISSION HOUSE WORK
GAINS PLAUDITS AT THE VATICAN

Gable dispatches from Rome. telling of
the interest taken by the head of the
Catholic Church in the work of Rev
DR.. a. P. Doyle and his assistants at
the Apostolic Mission House at Brook
land and the praises of the pontiff be-
slowed on the results they have accom-
plished have emphasized the Importance
and far-reaching influence of the local
institution. 1t is now expected that Pope
Plus Y will give it special recognition.
DR.. Doyle, the rector. recently visited
the Vatican and had interviews with the
pope and his secretary of state, and he
aroused the special interest of both in the
work directed from here. In letter
recently received in this city from Rome
the interview between Father Doyle and
Cardinal Merry del Var the papal secre-
tary of state, is described. The letter
says:
THE cardinal has followed the progress
of the work with the keeneSt interest
and he sees in its ultimate success the
conversion of the English speaking peo-
pies 1t may not be without some prov
idential ordering that one who is so
sympathetic with the veal and woe of
the English speaking peoples should be so
near the holy father, and Cardinal Merry
del Val realizes the opportunities of his
position. He is deeply interested in the
progress of the church in the United
States. This abiding interest has been
quickened by the recent action of Arch
bishop Bourne of Westminster in sending
Rev. Herbert Vaughan TO the Mission
House at Washington with the ultimate
purpose of establishing a mission house
on similar lines in England
when ushered into his presence Father
Doyle found awaiting to greet him

nom Catholic missions became the subject
of conversation. The cardinal has fol-
lowed the growth of the American apostle
late since its beginning over ten years
ago, and he seemed to have a compre-
hensive knowledge of the way it is Or
ganized and the wonderful rcr'tlts that
have been secured.
He thought the question box as used
in the missions in the United States an
admirable way of getting in touch with
the minds of non-Catholics. When Father
Doyle ventured the statement that if the
holy father knew what an easy way of
teaching catechism to the people the
question box affords he probably would
have recommended it in his recent En-
cyclical on Teaching the Catechism. The
cardinal said he himself had made very
practical use of it in a series of lectures
he had given here in Rome, and had
found it exceedingly valuable. He
thought the time ripe for an aggressive
propaganda among the English speaking

Youngest Son Sued by Wife For
 Separation.
BLAMES "CURSE OF MONEY"
If He Had Been Poor Chap He Could Have Escaped, Asserts Millionaire With Beautiful Spouse-Mothsr- in- law a Peacemaker.

New York, April 1S.-Frank J. Gould on train bound for Hot Springs, Va, admitted that his wife had sued him for legal separation.
 MT. Gould evinced great sorrow and in long interview talked most kindly about his wife. He has entered no cross action and will enter none, but probably will make vigorous defense. His affairs are in the hands of De- lancey Nicoll.
 Every effort at a reconciliation is be- ing made by Mrs. Gould's mother, Mrs. Edward Kelly. But she admitted that she had made little headway.
 Mrs. Gould's action, begun in the su- preme court. is based on the grounds of cruelty and neglect It is learned that the husbands extreme jealousy is al the bottom of the difficulty.
 Mrs. Gould's beauty makes her the center of attraction wherever she ap- pears, and the gallsntries of which she has been made the object have result ed in so many quarrels between the young couple that the wife has finally decided to conserve her peace of mind by seeking legal separation.
 No Action For Divorce.
 It can be stated on the highest su- thority, however. that there will be no action for divorce on the part of either.
 In the interview which Mir. Gould gave there is held out a strong possi- bility that the reconciliation for which Mrs. Kelly is working may be brought about.
