A., of Villa nova college, has come into one of the most precious relics of hiv order in America. It is a cap worn by St. L'baldua, who in the twelfth cen tury was Bishop of Gubio, gays a Villannva (Pa.) report in Hearst's Chicago American. In 1SHG the body of the aaint was removed from the tomb and the skull cap, 800 years old, wag res cued from oblivion. A sealed docu ment accompanies the relic to at test its genuineness. About this silken cap cluster some most interesting Incidents of church history and the record of a most useful nnd consecrated life. St. I'buldiiB was born at Gubio, Italy, early in the twelfth century, the son of a noblcmun. Early in life the youth determined to give him self to the church, and,- despite fierce parental opposition, entered the sem inary of SS. Martin and James. Later he took up studies at the sem inary of St. Secuniliis. Finishing his course he was ap pointed prior of the cathedral by the bishop of Gubio. While in this posi tion he corrected several abuses which had crept in amon the con ons. Ubaldus next visited a com munity of regular canons, estab lished by the pious Peter do Hon estis. He carefully noted the rigid discipline of this community, and upon hia return to Gubio three months later he established its rule in that chapter, thus rendering the reformation complete. In 112ft St. I'baldus was made bishop of Perugia. Having nY de sire to fill so exalted a position, he hurried to the outlying country and , afterward made his way to Home. While there he importuned Pope Honorius II. to free him from his trust. His request was granted. A few years after, the see of Gubio being vacant, the pope ordered the clergy to reelect Ubaldus to that dignity. In the year 1129 Pope Hon orius consecrated him with his own hands, a very great honor and show ing the high esteem in which Ubald us was held. Ubaldus received the skull cap while bishop of Gubio. A rich mer chant, hearing of the holy man's great success in curing diseases, made application to him and was al most immediately cured of a malady of many years' duration. In return for so creat a kindness the mer chant offered the bishop a large sum of money, together with many acres of the finest land. This generous of fer was flatly refused by Ubaldns.

INVITATIONS WRITTEN BY EXPERT PENMEN Four of the Beat Writer in Gov ernment Service Send Out Cards for Receptions. The preparation of invitations to the four great social events of the se aon at the white house the receptions of the president is a work that re quires great care and the moat expert penmanship. The several thousand people who receive invitations to each of the four receptions necessarily no tice the attractive and beautiful pen manship, amounting almost to engrav ing. This work ia dope by some of the moat noted penmen hi the service of the United Slates government, says the Washington Btar. The cards of invitation to each re ception are engraved, and contain blanks for the name of the person or persons Invited. These blanks are filled in by the penmen. During the social season just closed two penmen were engaged in writing the names on the cards, while two others wrote the addresses on the envelopes containing the cards. With all four men writing beautifully is a profession, and fre quently those Invited to a reception would wonder whether the name was engraved , or written. This work was done by J. L. McGrew, a clerk in the navy department; S. E. Sullivan, of the post office department; W V. Morti mer, of the interior department, and E. I,. Kimmel, of the treasury. The four men, aided by two stenog raphers and typewriters, worked un der the supervision of Thomas H. Netherland of the white house force, himself a noted expi rt in writing. For three or four years Mr. Netherland has had charge of the invitations to these receptions, and his work has been so satisfactory as to receive the hearty commendation of Secretary Cnrtclyou. Mr. Netherland occasionally does some of the writing himself, but his duty consists in seeing to the prepara tion and distribution of the invitations to the care of the lists of the invited, and to the thousand and one other things that come before him. He dic tates the answers to the requests for invitations and superintends the mak ing up of the lists. The lists are kept from year to year, nnd Mr. Nether land knows jut who were invited to receptions in other years and who were refused invitations. He is a kind of walking encyclopaedia of the social and political stand ing and the affiliations of Washington nnd other people. He is so discreet that never a word escapes from his mouth about his duties and whatever he has to say is put before his chief, Secretnry Cortelyou, who Is responsi ble for the way in wh-h the work is done. The work of writing the inventions is frequently began weeks ahead of the time fixed. Certain clnsses of peo ple are invited to every reception, and their in vita t ions can be written and put aside ready for delivery when others are made out. The handwriting exTferts are not usually fnst penmen. Swiftness nnd beauty of writing are seldom found together, and so the experts take time in affixing the names of society peo ple to the cards and envelopes. All of the four men engaged the Inst sea son were assigned from other depart ments, and Mr. Netherland is the only one belonging permanently on the white house rolls.

Too Much for Him. "Thia may be a strange world all right," remarked a conductor of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad to a Washington Star reporter re cently, "but I incline to the theory that the old globe is not at all un usual 'tis the folks who move about its surface that constitute the strange part of the situation. And believe me when I assert that we who personally conduct these street railway tours come in contact with at least 99 per cent, of the strange ones." "Wlint's the latest?" inquired the reporter, who hns observed a few queer people on street cars himself. "The latest was a woman who should have known better, and who got off at Tenleytown on my last trip out." explained the conductor. "Here we lire in the midst of a heavy snowstorm and nobody in ex istence is able to tell whether this car will get to the top of the next hill or slide back to Georgetown. Now what do yon think that woman said to me? Kemnrked that she was five minutes late in getting to her office this morning nnd demanded that I should tell her if the cars would be late to-morrow, and if so, exactly to what extent." "And yhnt did you reply?" "I informed her in a tone that everybody in the cur could hear thnt if I was the chief of the weather bureau or possessed the power to read the future I wouldn't be regis tering fares and listening to fool questions. She gave a sniff that was almost a snort as she got off, for all the passengers were laughing." Suspicious. Mrs. Ileatlets What is the matter, Mrs. Squigg!e?
