breakfast after mass, they each had a


separate table.
1t is reported that the other night
as Plus x was finishing dinner with
the Abate Perosi and repeating what
Archbishop Farley had said of the
composers certain success in New
York, he added:
"This is trip that really envy
you. IT there Is country which I de-
sire to see, 1t Is America, as the in

episcopacy, clergy, and people has
made me understand that it is the

Archbishep's Joke.
Gen. Roberto Brusati, commander
OF the military division of Rome. and
brother Of Gen. Ugo Brusati, first and
favorite aid of King Victor Emman-
uel, has just returned from the ma
neuvers at Bracciano and recounted to
MS friends an incident which will be
interesting to Americans.
About three weeks ago he was at
camp when he was informed that an
automobile had arrived with an arch
bishop. He ordered all possible cour-
tesies to be extended to the prelate.
and, at the same time, went to greet
him. The general asked the archbish-
op to lunch, which the latter eventual
!yaccepted. Up to this moment Gen.
brusati thought he was dealing with
an Italian archbishop, SO perfect was
the Italian the prelate spoke.
His surprise, therefore, was great
when, on coming to the reciprocal pre-
sentations, he discovered his guest to
be Archbishop William O'Connell of
Boston, who was motoring to Venice.
The American prelate took the officers
by storm, and Gen. Brusati declares
that 1t was wonderful the way he en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion.
When Mgr. O'Connell left camp both
soldiers and people gave him a rous-
ing send-off.
Mgr. Maurice Burke, bishop Of St.
Joseph, Mo-, who came to Rome for
the golden jubilee of the American
college, is the object of the greatest
cordiality on the part of Dante schol-
ars here, he being considered the most
enthusiastic interpreter of Dante since
Longfellow. Before returning to
America the bishop, together with his
niece, Miss Annie Burke, will spend
some time in Tuscany, living amid the
memories of Dante's "Commedia."
Will Live With Mrs. Crawford.
Mrs. Berdan, the widow of the in
ventor of the Berdhn percussion cap,
has decided, after more than twenty
years. residence in Rome, to leave the
eternal city and take up her residence
with her daughter, Mrs. Marion Craw-
ford, at the latter's villa near Sorren-
to.
Mrs. Crawford has applied to her
friend. the well-known American
sculptor, Moses Ezekial, for a simple
design for tombstone for her hus-
band. He has deNgned an. original,
q tiGttea4sos.ataatiex OF Greek and
Latin crosses, which will be put into
Carrara marble.
Apropos to Ezekial, his studio is in
the old Diocletian baths and he is
threatened with being turned out. The
other day, when the king visited him
there, his majesty referred to this,
whereupon Ezekial said:
I'm the -olden days, your majesty,
when q king visited the house Of a
commoner, from that moment the
house became the property of the
host"
With a laugh the king retorted:
Times have changed for us as we'll
as for you"
