 The -Four Hundred'' of Rome are greatly excited at present by a peculiar iy piquant scandal in high life.
 Ellen Camponati. a beautiful young narchioness. belonging to rich and aristoeratic family of Mantua. came to Rome a year ago and was betrothed to young count, whom she was to marry this month.
 Towards the end of May. however. q change came over her fiance and about two weeks later. he broke off the en- gagement on trivial pretext.
 The marchioness, who possesses a very determined character, made up her mind to learn the cause of the change and discovered that the affections of her fiance had been captured by Maria campi. pretty danseuse of the Eden Music Hall
 Determined to beat her rival at her own game. the rnarchioness straight away took dancing lessons and after a week or two by the aid of her own ability and large payment to the man ager of the Eden. she secured an en- gagement there.
 Wishing to avoid . scandal she con cealed her own name and obtained the permission to wear a mask while per forming. Nevertheless her identity soon became known. Within a week her name. her beautiful figure. artistic costumes and coquettish ways brought her hosts of admirers who to the un bounded joy of the manager iiled the theatre night after night.
 Chief among them was her faithless lover. but the fair lady remained obdu- rate and now contents herself with the satisfaction of thoroughly mortifyine her ex-admirer. who worsh!ps her nightly from box. and declafes he lr ready to shoot himself for his folly In preferring her rival.

His Holiness Informed of Work in

After Reaainx The Report of Cardinal Gibbons, The Pope said Future ss Catholic chureh Was In
 America.
nY HrMnr DUBIOUS.

Paris, Aug, With France official ly lost to the Catholic Church, 1t be- comes more and more evident that the Catholics of America are the Pope's recently ordered the Congregation of the Propaganda Eide to invite all the bishops of North. Central and South America to send detailed reports of their respective dioceses--the number of schools and churches and of the faithful. etc.
 Cardinal Gibbons has already sent . very important report regarding all the dioceses of the United States. and Pope Plus has expressed his satisfac- tion with the marvellous progress made by the Catholic religion in America.
 After reading the report of the American cardinal, the Pope said: 9Th e future of the Catholic Church is in America. In Europe the Orthodox Church of England. the various pro- testant sects and the Greek Catholics are increasing much more rapidly than the Roman Catholics. Tn America the opposite is the case Tn Europe the Catholic states of France and Italy are fighting us and threaten to separate from the church, in America we have no serious enemies. All our care therefore should be for America.
 It ia asmatter of doubt whether the Pope is pleased with an act taken by a number of devout French Catholics which was intended to gladden. the heart of the head of the church.
 At Avignon a Society of Friends of the Papal Palace" has been formed for the purpose of restoring and maintain Ing the old historical building in which at one time the Pope's resided. For years the palace has been used as military stable and 1t Is now badly in need of repairs.
 The founder of the new society, M. Girard director of the Museum of Avignon, has already received a very large amount of money from French Catholics who want to see the old palace put in proper condition, but there are many who think that the Pope would prefer to have the old building disappear than to have if stand as a memory of the time vvher the power of the Holy Chair had dWindled down to a mere shadow.
