SKETCH OF THE NEW POPE.
Born at Riesi, Italy, In 1864 Man Of
Liberal Views.

Giuseppe Sarto, the new pope, was
born in Riesi, diocese of Treviso.
northern Italy, June 2, 1885. and was
created cardinal by Leo XIII. at the
consistory of June ~, 1898, receiving
the title OF S. Bernado dele Terma He

years as one of the greatest preachers
in the church. Plus X. enjoyed great
popularity in his diocese. and was
honored by all for his purity, for the

hearted, still strong and robust In
spite Of his 6S years. He has never
taken much part in the political and
public life Of the church but has divid.
ed his time between study and good
works.
Although most faithful to the holy
see, he was presented to the king and
queen of Italy In Venice. He may be
considered among the more liberal
members Of the Italian episcopate and
sacred college. He Is rather timid In
expressing an opinion. 1t is said that
Leo XIII. always thought very highly
OF him and sided with him on one oc.
casion when Sarto disapproved Of
Rampolla's policy.
Maud Howe, daughter of Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, who resided in Rome for
many years, writing on who Will Be
the Next Pope?" in the Outlook for
the week dated Aug. /, says Of Cardi-
nal Sarto:

When King Umberto went to Venice
to meet the emperor of Germany, Car.
dinal Sartc announced his intention Of
making a state visit to the king. A
hint was sent him from the vatican
that his course might not be a wise

First Step of Making Will
mington Terminus of
New York Division

New York freight crews on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad are now running through tc
this city. The first Of these came all the
way down on Monday ngnt.
The running through of the crews is be-
ing done as an experiment and also TO re-
lieve the Philadelphia yards at this dime
which are congested by the building oper.
ations going on at Gray's Ferry.
By running the trains and crews through
to this city much time Is saved, as there
is plenty Of room In the big edge Moor
yards and now that the men have become
accustomed to the new quarters they are
handling the cars rapidly.
When the new roundhouse at Todd's Cua
Is finished, it is probable that all the crews
from New York viii come through TO this
city. At present the sheltering facilities
for locomotives is inadequate and they ar,
forced 10 stand outside.
In railroad circles this move is looked
upon as a step toward making Wilmington

GOOD ROAD BIDS
CONSIDERED HIGH
Unless They Are Reduced
Better Highways in Della
ware Are in Danger

Since bids for improvements to the
Hare's Corner road We're opened by the
Levy Court yesterday, a question has
been raised as to whether or not the
contract for the work when awarded
will have to be approved by all three
of the State Highway Commissioners,
or by the commissioner for this county.
President Chandler. of the Levy
Court claims that for work in New
Castle county it is only necessary to
have the approval of the local COM
missioner, but it is the opinion Of
others that all three of the commission
ers win have to approve whatever
work is given out.
II is the general opinion that the two
bids received for the work on the
Eare's Corner road are much too high.
At the rate of the lowest bidder for
a sixteen-foot road ten inches deep,
which is the size the majority Of MEM
bers of the Levy Court are i'm favor
of constructing, it would cost $500 per
mile. This, it is claimed, is entirely
too high q figure, as the county could
not possibly stand to pay such a price
for improving roads.
The Hare's Corner road is convent
ent to water, rock and railroad facili-
ties. II is estimated that for the same
size road in Kent county it would cost
$4,000 a mile, and I'm Sussex county
$4,000. The material would not be as
handy, and the transportation would
therefore cost a great deal.
President Chandler stated this morn
ing that he considergd the bids were
very high. He said, AQwever, that ma
terials are high nowWand thought il
the work had been done three years
ago It would have cost One-third less

THROW LIGHTED MATCHES INCROWD
Women Painfully Injured BY Reckless
Spectators at Ball Games.

Recently there have been complaints
abeut the reckless manner In which the
men and boys who attend the local
baseball games throw lighted matches.
Several women have been painfully
burned by thoughtless persons, who
after lighting their cigars or cigarettes.
throw the blazing matches in a crowd
of spectators.
One young woman some days ago
had a narrow escape from what might
have proved a serious accident while
attending a game at Front and Union

The bottom OF her gown caught fire
from a match, but fortunately she dis
covered it before it had burned much.
The same woman a few days later was
painfully burned on the neck by a
match which was thrown away by
