(United Pre I.eniftd Vlr.)
Rome, July 14. (By Enrlcho
Tedeschi, Staff Correspondent Uni
ted Press Associations.) Quito n
sensation was crcntcd In ecclesiastic
circles here today by tho appearance
of the first edition of n work just
published at Milan, entitled "Popo
PIub X nnd HIb Court." While free
from bias or prejudice either, for or
against the proient pontiff tho work
gives an extraordinary close account
and graphic picture of the Inner llfo
of tho pope. The writer conceals
his name hut there is not doubt that
ho Is n porson either on the vntican
staff or very closo to His Holiness.
Commenting on tho surprising
simplicity and democratic spirit of
Popo Pius tho writer says:
Dlnvganls Customs,
"Traditions nnd precedents mean
nothing to his hollnesv. For Instnnce.
ono of tho oldest customs prevailing
at tho Vatican; ono dating back to
tho time of Urban XIII;compellcd the
popo to hnve all his meals alone.
Leo XIII was a strict follower of th'
tradition, hut Plus X early In hla
rolgn decided ho would like to have
Monslgnor Bresinn's company nt
dinner. Tho wholo vntican suite was
shocked. It was pointed out to his
hollnesH thnt ho was violating n tra
dition dating back several genera
tions. His reply was that It wn
41me they established n new tradi
tion." "Notwithstanding the fact that
his hollnoEB established n world
wldo reputation for kindliness, gon
tlllty and nffabllltv, audiences are
very trying on him nnd tax his
norves to he limit. Perhaps ono
after another representatives of a
dozen noble npmnn fnmllies will call
to pay their respects and tho pope
must show interest in each person
present and his or her family and
prlvnto affairs. Then probably will
come a fow French Indies who would
like very much to oxpross porsonnlly
to tho popo their Indignation at the
work of tho French Free Mason, tho
abomlnnblo Clemenconu-'Co dlablo
voml par l'enfer' (That devil thrown
out of hell).
"After having delivered them
selves of thoso amiable sentiments
tho ladles then profit by tho occasion
to solicit the pope's blosiing op
themselves, their families ar.d their
friends, known or unknown. Then
he must also bless the hundreds of
medals, beads and images which
they produce out of all sorts of
pockets.
CoHMfderntlon for Jews,
"Then pterhaps will follow In close
succession a group of Americau
ladles, high officials of the secretary
of state's office, prelates of different
countries and even Jews andlnfldels.
"No previous pope has shown the
same consideration for Jews as the
pope. When bishop of Mantua he
was once questioned by Pope Leo
XIII as to tho moral conditions of
bis diocese and his reply was:
" 'The only Christians In Mantua
aro tbo Jews.'
