escaped general notice. The daughter
of one of his servants was about to be
married, and nothing would do the
bride-elect but that the archbishop
should tie the nuptial knot. The father,
in awe of his patrons high Office, feared
to put the request. but the daughter,
with the buoyancy of youth and mex
perience, boldly, if bushingly, asked
the pope's legate to perform the cere-
mony. Her request was cheerfully ac-
ceded to, but involved more than any
one supposed, since the monsignor had
no license from the local authorities,
which is necessary in the district to
celebrate the marriage ceremony. He
was not deferred, however, from car
rying out his promise, and went to the
trouble of securing n license to marry
the daughter of one Of his employees to
the man of her choice.
Mgr. Martineli was educated at
Rome under Cardinal Sepiacci, of the
Angelica, being ordained as a priest
March 4, 1871. He is member of the
Order of st. Augustine. to which his
brother, Cardinal lMartinelli, who donned
the habit in 1868, also belonged. Short
ly before his ordination. the monsignor
lived for some years in the Augustine
community in Ireland, where he be-
came familiar with the English Ian
guage as il is spoken by our Irish cous-
ms. and his accent still suggests a
slight brogue.
In 1889 Archbishop Martinell was
elected to the post of prior general of
his order. and in 1895 was confirmed in
this Office for term of 12 years. 1t is
doubtful if anyone among the Angus
tines is more popular or more widely
loved, and none surely have more po-
tent influence.
The archbishop has taken de-
termined stand regarding politics. He
will have nothing whatever to do with
them. 81 shall regard my duty to the
church and to the American people as
Christians paramount to everything
else. The church will have nothing to
do wito politics" said the apostolic del
egate shortly after his arrival in this
country, a determination to which he
has strictly adhered, although the
temptation, to one who could exert SO
great an influence, to exceed his
churchly functions and lend helping
hand where his sympathies are enlisted
must be great.

LEADS A QUIET LIFE.
Archbishop Martinelli, Papal Rep
resentative at Washington.
He Is n Man of Rare Charm and Tact
and Noted for Generosity and
COndesccnsiOn-Wi Not
Discuss Politics.

Archbishop Martinelli is still in
the west, whittier he went early in
May with his secretary of legation,
Dr. Rocker, to give the pallium to the
new archbishop of Oregon, Alexander
Christy, who begged to receive it from
the ablsgates own hands. So does
the popularity of this genial prelate
extend from ocean to ocean, and yet
he lives at the papal legation at Wash
ington most retired life, the life of
a monastic, effacing himself whenever
possible. But on the rare occasions
when he comes in contact with people,
says the New York Tribune, he is as
responsive and agreeable as a man
of the world.
Mgr. Martinelli was sent to the
American capital in 1896, and his pop
ularity is emphasized by the unpop-
ularity of his predecessor, Cardinal
Satolli, who seemed, with all his clev-
erness land he was a most erudite
man and profound thinker), never
quite to understand the American
character or point OF view, ana, with
the best intentions in the world, he
misintrrnrcted the attitude of people
toward him, and made mistakes that
will never be forgiven. His successor,
on the contrary, in whom are united
the most lovable qualities Of the Latin
race, is full of tact and possesses
knowledge that prevents him from Of
Tending against the traditions ofthose
among whom he lives. The infinite
pains, too, that he takes in small mat
ters, his never failing amiability and
unselishness endear him both to the
people of his own church and those
Of other communions who have the
privilege of knowing him.
His good nature was shown about
year ago by an incident so trivial it

edge of facts. In
a late issue of the Educational Review
is an article in which Prof. Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia university,
takes the trouble to refute the asser.
tion that pubic education in the United
States has increased the number of
criminals against property. In the
first place, he says, il should be remem-
bered that communities which main
tain schools have higher standards as
to what is lawful than communities
without such civilizing influence, and
therefore more acts are held criminal
and more crimes are detected and pun
ished. A greater number of arrests
may signify better police administra-
tion rather than an increase in crime.
When records are carefully kept it ap-
pears that the illiterate population
furnishes from six to eight times its
proper proportion of criminals. This
was established by an investigation Of
the bureau of education. The history
of Massachusetts presents conclusive
answer to the contention that educa'
tion begets crime. In 1850 the jails and
prisons held s,761 persons, while in
1888 the number increased three times,
or to 26,65l-an apparent increase in
crime. But analysis shows that serious
offenses have fallen off 40 per cent,
while vigilance in prosecuting is re-
sponsible for the apparent increase
Thus, says this authority, despite the
decrease in drunkenness, the, commit
ments for this ofense increased from
3,341 in 1850 to 1901 in 1885, while other
crimes and commitments were one to
1873 of population in 1850, against one
to pa in 1885. So person and property
are safer, while drunkenness has be-
come more dangerous--to the drunk
ard.
