' After an absence , pf seven months
in the Holy Lahd , and Rome. Rev.
Father J. . Black yesterday received a
hearty welcome from, his congregation.
Father Black arrived In Portland Satur
day. He first went to the Holy Land,
where he - spent . several weeks among
the ruins, and then proceeded ,ro Rome,
where he was given a personal audience
with Pope Plua X. Speaking of his au
dience with the pope, Rev. Black said:
."When I was ushered Into the pres
ence of the holy father, he was sitting
at an ordinary table,, with a . lot of
papers which he was examining. We
dropped to our knees, - of course. My
companion Introduced me. when the pope
arose and motioned tne to a seat. He
was standing and ,the thought entered
my head that I could not sit down
while - the " head Of -Christendom . was
Standing, so I waited till he was seated.
Then followed a most cordial chat. .He
was moat., amiable and the picture of
aeaiin-tn poor ana mma. . v
. "On leaving, I asked him for1 a bless
ing for myself and Congregation. To
my surprise and gratification, the pope
took two pf bis recent photographs and
wrote the apostolic blessing for myself
underneath one, and then did the same
for St Francis' church. . This was -a
special favor -'and rarely ever granted.
I attribute the favor I received at the
hands of the pope- to his friendship for
our Archbishop Christie . -

Black's return ts being - arranged : by

being impaneled ln Judge Fraser's court
this afternoon to hear the ault of Msrle
S.- Whlgham to recover IJ.000 alleged
to be due from -the Independent Order
of Foresters ss Insurance on the life
of her husband.
Twice Jurlea have returned verdicts
directing the payment of the money to
Mrs. Whlgham, but the first time Judge
Fraser - set aside the verdict and or
dered a new trial. On the second trial
an appeal ' was - taken to the. supreme
court, which remanded the case to the
circuit court for the third trial - now
beginning. ' '
The ground for contesting , payment
is that Whlgham was an habitual
drunkard and died from excessive al
coholism, while In his application for
Insurance ha stated that he bad always
been temperate and had not been In
toxicated within five years preceding
the 'date of the application. This Is
not denied by the attorneys for Mrs.
ErTceVnce
appetite foy llouor. but Instead ef an
nulling Ma policy, aa they had a right
to do. continued to receive money from
him In payment of his dues. .
