CARDINAL GOTTI.

court formed of those who believe his
success probable, who honor him as
though he were already elected. But
he does not take much notice of these
flatterers. Greatness appears to have
no temptations for him, for though
clothed in purple he occupies very
modest room. almost cell, at the
Forum Of Trajan, and sleeps on a
monks bed. He is only Ga years old.
His political tendencies are unknown.
and should he be called on to succeed
the presnt pontiff he may be either a
conciliatory pope or a fighting pope,
according TO his personal inclination
and to the character of the majority
which placed him in ST. Peters chair.
1t is said that the pope has often be-
fore referred to Cardinal Gotti as his
successor. but if precedent be followed
in this case the Carmelite cardinal will
never sit as a ruler of the church. The
custom has been always to defeat the
cardinals selected for succession by
the popes, but the popes themselves
do not seem to have been impressed by
history, for almost all have indicated
their pleasure in this way,

A Famous Hosp;tal Dog

Although Leo. the dog belonging to
The women and children's hospital,
Cork. was Irish, his fame was almost as
great in England as in his own coun-
try, and his death will be regretted by
those of both nations who are inter
ested in benevolent movements. His
history will bear comparison with that
OF any dog of public fame. Of dig
nified demeanor, he was always to be
seen on the streets with his Alpine bar
rel slung round his neck, bent on err
ranos of mercy as important as those of
the great monastery dogs. He gathered
over $4,000 for the hospital. Leo won
the proud distinction of carrying off
the cup offered by the prince of Wales
to the dog who collected the largest
amount for a hospital, and he was also
known to the princess of Wales. who
frequently petted him. Heis succeeded
in his benevolent exertions by his eldest
son Leo.

Leo XIII. Would Like to Have Him

EventfuI Career OF the Cardinal Who
Has Proved Himself TO BE DiplO.
mat as Well as a Most De-
won't Churchma

Cardinal Giralomo Maria Gotti, whom
Pope Leo XIII. has indicated as his
preference in the matter Of papal sue
cession, has been ever favorite of the
present pontitf, and has been advanced
in his ecclesiastical career with every
sign Of fatherly appreciation from the
pope.
The supreme democracy of the Ro-
man church lat least in the po,entiai-
ties of members of the hierarchy is
admira bly, illustrated in the life Of Car
dinal Gotti. His father was Genoese
laborer. who worked on the docks of
the town, and the son was bred in such
surroundings as naturally fell to his
lot as the son of the lowly. But every
Italian has an inheritance of genius,
and young Gotti proved this when he
entered the Carmelite order of monks.
Living the severest of lives in that
very ascetic congregation, he soon ac-
quired great reputation for learn
ing and piety, and he was at length
made the general of the order. This
Ligurian OF the Ligurians displayed re-
markable diplomatic powers in his mis-
sion of papal nuncio to Brazil, to which
he was appointed by his great patron
on the throne of Peter. In that coun-
try, in addition to the conflict going
on between the civil and religious au-
thorities, the church was in consider
able danger on account of the lack of
discipline and of the dissolute morals
which prevailed among the clergy and
the episcopate. To the great astonish-
ment of everyone, the pope selected the
superior of the barefooted Carmelites,
who happened to be Father Gotti, to
put an end to disorder and reestab!ish
harmony between the religious and
civil powers.
Father Gotti in two or three years
triumped over all difficulties, and his
success was SO complete that on his

WOMAN'S IDLE TEARS

What has become of woman's tears.
idle tears? a cynical old bachelor late
ly remarked in the hearing of woman
that he wondered what had become OF
all the crying members of her EEK. He
said that he had not seen woman cry

to cry over as there ever were, and lust
as many women. He did not object to
the absence of tears; he only wondered
about it.
This thing has received attentions o, 4
