A GRAND OLD MAN.
Los Angeles Herald.

The last OF the European trinity Of
grand old men Gladstone, Bismarck,
Leo XIII--has just entered upon his
ninety third year of life and the TWEEN
ty-ffth Of his pontihcate, Not only
the vast membership of his church
throughout the world, but enlightened
people Of all classes regard the pope
as the grandest figure now on mes
stage His personal purity and the
true Christian spirit that has always
characterized him have endearcd him
to all intelligent people. Of whatever
spiritual belief. An amazing change
has been wrought In the worlds eyop-
ton since the day when Gioachimo Pee
CT first saw the light, March 2, 1910, The
map of the world, In fact, has been
changed In nearly every part since that
date. Before many grandfathers Of
the present day were born the present
pope held the distinguished position OF
nunclo to Brussels 0Si3). He was
made an archbishop In 1886, and next
year It will be half century since he

When Jackson was president for the
first time and Webster was serving his
first term In the senate, Leo was a
Papal ambassador OF the Belgian court
He was an archbishop before our
American war was fought, and a car
dInal when few people beyond their
immediate neighborhood had ever
heard OF Lincoln and Grant and Sher-
man. He was elected Pope twenty
four years ago When his sixty-eight
years, his extreme emaciation aud his
feeble health made II seem impossible
for him to live more than a few
months. Yet he has been the incess-
antly alive active head of the great
Roman Catholic church for a longer
period than any but very few Of the
spiritual soyereigns Of that institution,
which was centuries old and a world
power. when the oldest Of existing Eu-
ropenn nations was In its feeble and
miserable childhood.

connected with a paddlewheel, The

som for Miss stone.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE state de-
partment has received confirmation of
the cabled news that the ransom for
Miss Stone had been paid over to
her captors.

the secretary Of state had received no
news to the effect that Miss Stone was
on the way to Constantinople, although
that was believed to be fact. Nine.
Tsilka, Miss Stones companion in cap
tivity, is also believed to have been set
free. She is Bulgarian, and, while
none of the ransom was paid over for
her, ii is understood that she was in
cluded in the bargain. A state depart
ment official said that with the releas e
of Miss Stone "the incident, SO far as
she is concerned, is closed" The re-
lease of the captives will undoubtedly
however, be followed by determine
ton by this government Of the meas
ure of responsibility ofpTurkey or Bull
garia, or both, for the captivity of the
American woman. Some time ago II
was stated that the government re-
sponsible would at least be required to
refund the amount Of the ransom.
