The Pope manifested deep grief when
Informed that he must suspend all
audiences. as he was TO have received
to-day 100 pilgrims. including large
number from the Venetian provinces
Of whom some came from the diocese OF
Treviso. in which the Popc's birthplace
is situated, and from Salzano, where he
officiated as parish priest.
Frequently during the day he re-
peated how sorry he was not to see so
many old friends, adding, with mel
ancholy touch in the Venetian dialect;
81 am no more use, either to myself or
others"
The pilgrims were distressed not to
be able to see the Pope, and remained
around the Vatican the whole day,
Notwithstanding downpour Of rain.
They exchanged salutations with the
sisters of the Pope in dialect, and then
entered the Basilica 60 pray for the re-
covery of the Holy Father.
The last Americans received by the
Pope were Mrs. John Bradford. OF
philadelphia. and her son and daugh-
ter. who were presented 10y Marquis
Martin Maloney, acting as private
Chamberlain. They judged that the
Pope had quite recovered. The impress
sion received by Marquis Maloney was
that the Pope had aged greatly since he
saw him a few years ago, but appeared
to be cheerful and was taking a great
interest in people and things.
Joked with Cardinal.

sumed his ordinary routine Of life. re-
ceived among others Cardinal Katsch-
thaler Archbishop of Salzburg. with
whom he joked remarking that the
newspapers had attributed to him all
kinds Of illnesses and disabilities. He
said:
They have written that my legs are
so affected that I cannot walk; while
look al me-" So saying he walked
about the room.
They have printed that my THROAT
that ! cannot speak; while now YOU
hear me. Besides. my whole trouble
could hardly be called illness, as my
\ temperature never rose above 80. The
W fact is my real disease is old age
To this cardinal Katschthalcr re-
piled that he himself was suffering
from the same disease in aggravated
form. as he was two years older than
the POntin.
when they parted the Pope again re-
ferred To his temperature as not hav-
ing gone above 90 degrees. Cardinal
Katschthaler later called on Monsignor
Bressan. private secretary TO the Pope,
and learned that his fever had gone
above 100 thus drawing the conclusion
that the truth had been concealed from
the Pope in order not TO alarm him
The Pontif's present illness really
dates from early In March, when he
suffered an attack of influenza of the
catarrhal tyne, with bronchial conges-
ton. From this he had practically re-
coNerod q week ago and had resumed
