CALLING AT THE VATICAN
Ex Diplomatistb Views on tho Popes
Reception of Strangers
After the dispatch from Home stat-
lng former President Roosevelts
sons for not calling on tho jope during
his recent stay at Rome was read to a
well known diplomat who did not
wish his name to be used he said
There Is nothing surprising in the re
fusal of the pope to receive Theodore
Roosevelt The same thing has occur
red with foreign princes who have vis
ited Rome and Is the reason why the
emperor of Austria and the king of
Spain never go there Troubles how
ever generally arise over the conflict
between the Quiriual and the Vatican
If the king of England went to Rome
and called first at the Quiriual palace
to see the king the pope would refuse
to receive lilm
All kinds of devices have been tried
to get around this obstacle Two years
ago au ex president of Brazil went to
Rome and called at the Qulrinal andi
then left Rome for a trlp into
trj which lasted a week On his re
turn he went direct to the Vatican and
was received as it was regarded as a
second visit to the city One of the
Ilohenzolleni princes went to Rome a
year ago and had an audience with the
king Then he went away for a month
and came back to see the pope and
was received through the subterfuge
of the second visit
What is the procedure for an Amer
ican citizen to pursue in getting an au-
dlence with the pope he was asked I
The usual way replied the diplo
mat is to call on Bishop Kennedy
at the American college In Rome and
he arranges the audience The United
States embassy has no relations with
the Vatican Numbers of prominent
Catholics from the United States takp
over letters of introduction from Car
dinal Gibbons or Archbishop Farley
which they present to Mgr Bisleti at
the Vatican and get an audience with
the pope direct
Personally he Is very well disposed I
toward Americans and likes them very
much On an average the pope re 1
ceives from 2100 to 3000 Americans
a year Protestants as well as Catho
lics are included in this number but
naturally the latter are largely in the
majority The audiences are given in
the royal suit in the Vatican and are
of two kinds private and in groups
In a private audience the head of the
Catholic church shakes hands and con
verses with the individual to whom It i
has been accorded In the groups of
pilgrims or other large bodies not ex
ceeding 200 the pope passes down the
line and bestows a general blessing
and holds out his hand for the par
ticipants in the audience to kiss the
ring
BOOTS FOR MINISTER GAGE
Scorns Shiny Pumps and Lord Faun
tleroy Pants For Court Functions
With eighteen new pairs of long leg
ged boots Henry T Gage ex governor
of California left Los Angeles the oth
er day for King Manuels court in Lis
bon to be American envoy extraordi
nary and minister plenipotentiary to
Portugal Governor Gage and his
boots are an institution in California
but when his appointment was an
nounced he received from a London
tailor who makes a specialty of diplo
matic outfitting a circular sternly in
forming him that he must provide him
self with smalls silk stockings and
shiny pumps
According to the best information
from the firing line the newly appoint
ed diplomat threw the diagrams of
what he called Lord Fauntleroy
pants in the waste paper basket and
sent out for those eighteen pairs of
huge boots
Im going to go dressed as an Amer
ican said he and in full length
trousers not to mention boots
Since his youth Mr Gage has stuck
to real boots When he was elected
governor his friends chuckled and said
that they had him for they said They
dont make patent leather boots But
when the inaugural took place the gov
ernor elect triumphantly led the grand
march in a pair of patent leather dress
boots
PREVENTION OF DIVORCE
Massachusetts Bishop Lays Down
Rules to Avoid It
Bishop William Lawrence head of
the Episcopal diocese in eastern Mas
sachusetts declared from the pulpit of
St Pauls church in Boston the other
afternoon that divorce and unhappy
marriage could be prevented by home
training and the education of children
by their parents
Bishop Lawrence declared that out
of every twelve marriages there was
one divorce The bishop gave five sug
gestions which he declared would aid
in solving the divorce problem Here
are the suggestions
That children should stay at home
more in the evening with their par
ents and that parents should quit
attending theaters and clubs nightly
and remain home with their children
That young people contemplating
marriage should know each other in
timately and have each others con
fidence long before the marriage cere
mony is performed
That children should be educated for
marriage
That there should be purity before
and after the marriage ceremony
That young couples who are to mar
ry should have a sense of solidaritv
when joined in wedlock

The Case
Agaonst
Dr Hyde
COLONEL 8WOPE
T R I A L that
promises to
arouse al
most as much inter
est all over the coun
try as the Molineux
Leutgert Gunuess
and other famous
trials of the past is
that now engaging
the attention of all
Missouri the Dyde
affair With eleven
indictments returned
against him by the grand jury three
for murder and eight for attempted
murder Dr B C Hyde will be brought
to the bar in the Swope murder cases
on April 11 The affair is a startling
oue
Up to the 3d of last October Colonel
Thomas II Swope the eccentric mil
lionaire bachelor and public benefac
tor resided in his beautiful mansion at
Independence Mo where he made his
home with his sister-in-law Mrs Mar
garet Swope As the donor of Swope
park a woodland tract of some 1400
acres constituting one of the finest
recreation grounds in the middle west
and as a liberal giver to many worthy
causes he was considered one of the
great benefactors of the community
Colonel Swope provided handsomely
for his nephews and nieces but he
liked to talk about his will and to say
that he ought to give a million and a
half or so to charity that be was leav
ing too much to his relatives He was
contemplating a change in the pro
visions of his will when death over
took him
The reader will be better able to
follow the case If Dr B C Hyde is
DR B C HYDE
now brought into it He is the physi
cian who is charged with the murder
or murders In 1903 Dr Hyde clan
destinely married Miss Frances Swope
a niece of Colonel Swope on June 21
of that year at Fayettevilie Ark
against the wishes of her mother Mrs
Logan O Swope As a result of the
marriage Dr Hyde and his wifes fam
ily were alienated until a short time
ago when a reconciliation was brought
about The physicians wife being one
of the Swope heirs would of course
inherit all of the old mans vast wealth
after the demise of the other heirs
Colonel Swopes health had been a
matter of concern to him for years
and for upward of a generation he
had been accustomed to predict his
momentary death So his last days
were full of care and trouble He was
weakening under the strain of exhaust
ed vitality for he was an old man
His race was nearly run The provi
sions of his will still failed to satisfy
him and while he contemplated a
change in the provisions of that in
strument he was suddenly seized with
convulsions following the administra
tion of a capsule at the direction of
Dr Hyde whose wife as stated would
inherit a lame share of the unhappy
old mans wealth
On Oct 1 last James Moss Hunton
one of Colonel Swopes confidential
advisers who was also named as his
executor died of apoplexy and two
days later Colonel Swope after suffer-
ing great agony also passed away
from what Dr nyde declared also to
be apoplexy In December an epi
demic of typhoid fever rased in the
Swope household the victims being
the cousins and nieces and nephews
of the dead millionaire who were his
heirs Of these Chrisman Swope died
on Dec G under conditions that
caused much apprehension among the
attending nurses John G Paxton the
executor and Mrs Logan Swope
mother of Chrisman instituted an in
vestigation
In January the bodies of Chrisman
and Colonel Swope were exhumed and
autopsies held and the experts en
gaged testified that the aged man died
from strychnine poisoning Dr Hydes
declaration of apoplexy to the con
trary notwithstanding and the coro
ners jury rendered a verdict placing
the responsibility on Dr Hyde Later
the grand jury began an investigation
and returned indictments as stated In
the foregoing
In justice to Dr Hyde however
conclusions should not be hastily
drawn the law holding that every
man is innocent until proved guilty
A DISAPPOINTED MAN
Tho Question Over Which Ho and tho
Insurance Agent Split
Mr Halloran surveyed the Insurance
agent with a dark and hostile counte
nance The fact that one eye was
concealed by a somewhat grimy band
age did not add to the attractiveness
of his expression
Havent you made up your trjnd yet
to insure with us inquired the ngaut
You told me I might call again In a
few days
There was two of you at me to get
an accident Insurance policy said
Mr Hallonm breathing heavily I
towld you and hlin both you might call
in again and he come firrst day be
foor ylstherday and I Insured wld
his company
That very night 1 met up wid Bar
ney Casey on the way home which
was what I was expecting wud hap
pen continued Mr Halloran raising
himself by grasping the arms of his
chair with two capable although
scarred hands and whin wed finish
ed wid one another I was like this
Ylstherday morning I sent for the
insurance chap and says I to him
Look at me I says and istlmate the
damages and pay them
He squirmed right out o the door
saying twas no accident Id had
Now if meeting wid Barney Casey

months is no accident Im done wid In

HE UNDERSTOOD
An Interview That Made Matters Clear
to the Officer
Come mister no one can sleep
here said a policeman the other even
ing wheu he found a man lying on a
vacant plot of land by the side of the
road and aroused him
But I have a good excuse replied
the man
What is it
See that house over there Well
please to do me the favor to go and
ring the bell and ask if William Dock
ey is at home
The officer went to the house as
cended the steps and rang the bell
A head was thrust out of a window
and a womans voice demanded
Now who is there
Madam replied the officer is
William Dockey at home
No he aint and I dont expect him
until daylight said the woman and
at the same time a bowlful of water
descended on the officers head
Well said the man on the ground
as the dripping officer came up you
see how it is dont you Im Dockey
Thats Mrs Dockey
I think I understand replied the
officer You can remain where you

Death Ancient and Modern
The art of the ancients would cer
tainly seem to show that their concep
tion of death was a much more cheer
ful one than that which has obtained
in later times It was at one time
thought that the old Greeks and Egyp
tians had no artistic symbol for death
but this was a misconception Death
was almost invariably represented by
them as the kinsman of sleep The
Greeks personified It as Thanatos eld
er brother of Sleep The Romans
sometimes depicted Death and Sleep
as twin children reposing in the arms
of Night The skull and crossbones
and the skeleton as emblems of death
do not appear to have become com
mon until comparatively late Christian
times It has been suggested that the
terrible famines and pestilences which
scourged Europe during the middle
ages were responsible for the fear or
horror with which the modern mind
Is usually accustomed to look upon
death
Discourtesy Rebuked
Lord Palmerston expected work to
be done well but Mr Preston Thomas
in his book tells us that of mere pec
cadillos he was tolerant Some young
gentlemen in the foreign office amused
themselves by shining young ladies
who lived on the other side of the
street that i by catching the rays
of the sun on a mirror and flashing
them over the way The father of the
young ladies complained to Palmer
ston who thereupon issued this min
ute
The secretary of state desires that
the gentlemen in his department will
not cast disagreeable reflections on
the ladies opposite London Chron

How to Test Paper
You cannot test paper as you would
string by stretching it It has been
stretched so much in the process of
manufacture that it wont stand much
more The way to test it is to rub it
in the hands After such treatment
poor paper is full of holes and cracks
Good paper simply takes the appear
ance of leather If much white dust
Is produced we know there are earth
ly impurities If it cracks it has been
bleached too much Loudon Globe
