Complaints are coming in about
horses running at large at nights,
causing damage to flower gardens

are no fences. Dogs are also being
complained of. There is a city or
dinance against allowing livestock
running at large but it does not seem
to be obeyed or enforced. In this
respect we certainly rank in the Jay

 iCaI System

 Tw o-thirds of this loss of S2. 900, 600 a day falls, according to the Socialist trade union leaders, the employers and supporters of the existing system, and the organizers of the strike af- firm that the men by exercising self denial can hold out as long as the capitalists are willing to endure their deprivation of dividends for a political reason only.
 Indications are that the strike will continue for a constdera ble period.
 The printers of the capital struck at midnight but as the newspapers were practically ready for publication at that hour, all appeared this morning. Even the men employed on the Social ist organ, Le Peuple, walked out but enough will be permitted to stay to print a sheet containing strike news. Some of the evening papers came out today, in reduced form. The strike also extended to the tailors in Brus- sels, today, and there is a marked in crease in the total of men who have joined the movement.

Prof. Marchiafava, who had not permitted the meeting during the critical period of the Pope's indisposition. insisted upon be- ing present as he feared the emotion caused by the meeting between the two brothers might have a bad effect on his patient.
 Sarto approached his brothers bed room with trepidation. When the door was opened by Mgr. Bressan, the Pope's private secretary, emotion be- gan to overcome the aged brother. He rushed toward the bed and tried to kneeI before the front of it but the Pope prevented him by stretching out his hands and saying at the same lime, No Here is your place. and held his brother in his arms
 The two venerable heads approach ed each other and both men were in tears. Angelo Sarto was only able to r1utter between his sobs, the Venetian dir11fnutive Of the Popes name, say ing, "Dear Repi, Dear Bepi.''
 The two brothers started talking about all kinds of subjects, but Prof. Marchiafava intervened and said the conversation might be resumed at a later period. He then kindly induc- ed Sarto to leave the room.
 A rurnor circulated in Rome soon afterward that the Pope had suffered from a fainting fit as a consequence of the emotion caused by the visit of his brother was denied officially at the vatican
 For the first time since his illness, the Ponriff's sisters and his brother took luncheon together. This is con eidered here as the best proof that the Pope is really entering on the con valescent stage
