THAT ELOPING COUPLE.
The Ward Coming Back in May for
More Money.

New York, April 18.-It is reported
that Miss Floretta Whaley, the young
orphan heiress who eloped with her
guardian-pastor, Rev. Jerre Cooke, a
married Episcopal rector, is coming
back in May for a formal settlement of
her fathers estate, from which she is
still entitled to $4,000.
Her relatives say they will make an
effort to keep her, but they have little
hope, as she is more than ever infatu-
ated with her parson lord and master,
with whom she ~affectionately resides in
a fiat in San Francisco, where he earns
good day wage and provides for his
family.
She defends their association together
and says that therein they both find
love and happiness, n she caresnoth-
ing for the opinion OF society. the world
or for consequences.

the occasional visits Of Hon. Simon
Wolf, OF Washington. d. C.. lie and
Mrs. Wolf arrived Yesterday and are
guests at the ho>pitable home of his
kinsman, Mr.. Sol. We'll.
Mr.. Wolf is one of the most distir-
guished men OF his day. A diplomat,
who, as ambassador from the United
States, a generation ago, reflected credit
upon his country in foreign courts: an
author of repute, Il lawyer of national
reputation, a public speaker of ARE
force and charming eloquence, a man
of striking personality and most con-
genial temperament. a Jew who has
accomplished so much for his own peo-
people that it would seem he had de-
voted his entire life to this end, and
yet he has but done his duty as his
splendid ability and wider opportunity
afforded, accomplishing just as much
for humanity in general, Tor he is OF
broad sou and patriotic impulses; an
American worthy of the possibilities
such citizenship affords, and striving
ever to impress the rising generation
with due regard fol- priceless pre-

LEO'S BODY NOT TO BE
REMOVED FROM VATICAN

Rome. Jan. 16.-The pope recently gave
audience to Tadolini. the sculptor OF the
statue OF Leo XIII in the Church of st.
John Lateran. Tadolini asked the pope
when the body of Leo was likely to be re-
moved from the vatican TO its final rest
ing place under the monument
The pope replied that the body would
not be removed during his pontificate
that he had ermitted the case to his sue
cessor
"As for myself" added the pope, "I
have already arranged for my burial in
an obscure corner OF the crypt OF St.
Peters. l have abandoned the idea of be-
Ing buried in Venice and will give no fur
ther trouble to my successor"
The body OF Leo XIII would have been
removed to st. Johns before now but for
the threats OF the anti-Clericals OF Rome
to make the event the occasion OF a hos
tile demonstration.
