re Der of the noble guard Of the Vatican ar
+ special messenger of Pope Leo XIII, a
u rived in New York last week from Rom
y bearing with him the official modification
i of Archbishop Martinellis elevation t
II the cardlnllate and the red cap which
the emblem OF the high Office. The cert
5 monY of presentation which was brie
i and simple took place in the parlors G
the papal legation at Washington. TIL
papal messenger clad in the uniform O
his office was received by the Archbishop
and few other church dignitaries. H,
presented his credentials and the oficia
notice. Then the archbishops purple
cap was removed and in its place was
put the red cap of the cardinal. The
office of Cardinal Martinelli, which is
that of papal delegate to the United
States, is not heavy salaried one. He
receives $4,000 a year and with this he
must pay his household expenses and the
salaries OF his auditor and secretary. The
clergy in every part OF the country are
raising purse for the papaI delegate,
however, and there is no doubt but he
will be well taken care Of The cardinals
promotion makes it necessary for him
to purchase an entirely new wardrobe.

During all those years of labor he has
made but one convert and that one was
an old woman just on the verge of the
grave. 1t is over a year since he left his
remote station and started out along the

miners and a dog team. He journeyed

The protests of Harvard's "antis' :
lave not prevailed and President Nc.
<inley can have his LID. degree from
he university at the time of his com.
nencement visit if he wants it. This
vas decided at meeting OF the board of :
verseers last week. The matter was G
alked over informally and they were '
practically unanimous in favor of the
Ian. The formal action concerning the =
of the degree will not occur S
ntl just before commencement. The S
verseers are the legislative body of the
University and the matter rests entirely 9
With them. Their action of last week :
will doubtless have a tendency to silence t
he protesting ones somewhat. b
