POPE LEO XIII.
"A Pen Picture Of tie Great fonfjf Of fbe Catholic
Church Who Hos Passed Array.

In 1877 was celebrated the golden jubilee
of Plus TX. His strength was failing and he
know his end was near. Death had just
taken his oldest friend and paved the way
for new Camerlengo. Plus appointed
Cardinal Pecci. 1t was position involving,
during theevacancy Of the papal chair, the
supreme authority to administer the tenn
poralities of the holy see. 1t was the Cam
erlengo who must use the silver hammer
upon his brow and thrice call him by his
baptismal name before it could be admitted
that he was dead. Already the shadow of
the cross had fallen on Cardinal Pecci.
January II, 1878, Victor Emmanuel died
in the Quirinal palace-eight days after
Plus followed him, whom he had deemed
the prosecutor and epoliator of the church.
When the wires flashed over the world the
news of Plus death, Protestants believed
that the papacy which was claimed to have
come down from Peter was at an end. The
questions arose, will the government not
take possession Of the vatican and St. Pc
ter's? Will they, can they, allow the cardi-
mails to assemble freely in conclave and elect
a successor to Plus TX? Will not the gov
eminent raise the flag of Savoy and secure
spiritual head Of its own selection who will
be amenable to the house of Savoy? Such
might have been the case had Victor EN-
manuel lived, or had the papacy had at its

wife had enough nice clothes to last her
two years when married her, and they
were long afterwards cut up and cut

NEW CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
Londoner suggests That Refrigerated
Meats May Account for Increase
y, In Dread Disease.

The London Lancet questions the &C.
curacy of the statement that appendi-
citis cases have increased during recent
years, believing that undoubtedly the
improvement in diagnosis will account
for some Of the excess Of cases met with
at the present time, as compared with
those noted 20 or 30 years ago.
This remark is called forth by a letter
from s. Kellett Smith, who suggested
that the alleged increase in appendicitis
might possibly be due to the greater
amount of refrigerated meats eaten
nowadays. Mr.. Smith pointed out that
the ingestion OF chilled or frozen food, 1t
being especially liable to rapid decom-
position, might result In more septic
state Of the intestines than prevailed
before. the days of cold storage, and that
this greater septicity might, in it's turn,
account for the greater virulence Of
those irritations to which the appendix
has always been prone. The Lancet
thinks this theory plausible one, but
would like to know whether 1t can be
shown that the intestine is In more
septic state now than it was when frozen
or chilled comestibles were not so large

DECREASE IN DEATH RATE.
Surgeon General Receives Interest,"
ing Report from Medical On
GERS i'm Philippines.

Surgeon General O'Reilly has received
an interesting report from the midical
officers in the PHILIPPINES, which shows
a steady decrease in the death rate
in the city of Manila, as result Of
the operations of the medical officers
of the army. The death rate of Ma
Mia for the first quarter of the past
four years has decreased steadily
from 1850 per thousand of the pop
ulation for the first quarter Of 1900,
to 22.17 for the first quarter of 1909.
Assistant Surgeon Munson says
that the improvement in the condi-
tions this year has been accom-
plished in spite of the fact that
Asiatic cholera and bubonic plague
both previously had gained a foot
hold in the islands, and that the ex-
istence of a largely unvaccinated pop
ulation in the provinces meant .
constant introduction in the city Of
the infection Of smallpox. Cases OF
plague, cholera and smallpox have oc-,
CURED in Manila during the present
year, but the precautions taken by
the board of health have prevented
an epidemic therefrom
"The sanitary results obtained in
the past four years through Amer
lean control have been accom-
plished," says Mr.. Munson, despite
the naturally insalubrious location of
Manila and its total lack OF santa
ton under the former sovereignty,
which, from the level site interfering
with drainage, the many foul canals
ramifying the city, the absence Of
any sewerage system, and the exist
ence Of an impure and insufficient
water supply, and many old, UNI
hea1thful habitations have created
sanitary problems of the greatest
difficulty. The board Of health,
therefore, has been unable to turn
previously existing methods and con-
ditions to sanitary advantage, and
has found it necessary not only to
develop entirely new plans of inn
provement, but at the same time to
combat the results of conditions in
herited from the Spanish administra-
ton. The mixed character of the
inhabitants, with their prejudices,
superstition and largely primitive
habits of life. also has been con-
slant obstacle in sanitary work"
Attention lis invited to the fact
that the present annual mortality in
Manila, 22.17, is lower than that of
many cities now commonly regarded
AZ healthful. situated in the United
States and elsewhere. In Washing
ton city the annual death rate per
1000 in 1900 was 22.80. According to
DIR. Munson, the present death rate
of Manila compares not unfavorably
with San Francisco. Boston and New
York, Glasgow, Paris, Vienna and
Havana. i.

pope Of him. Let Joachim be pope and
Joseph cardinal and you can be tranquil as
to the future of our boys" On the last day
of the year 1887, IL years after the death Of
his much-loved mother, he was ordained to
the priesthood.
Gregory XVI. appointed him governor Of
Benevento-a most difficult position. He
was not only obliged to cope with political
conspirators, but also with well-organized
bands of desperate men, given over to brig
sndage and smuggling position in which
older and more experienced men had been
baffled and retired. Three days after reach
inr his post he was stricken with typhoid
fever, The best medical skill was summoned
from Naples and pronounced the case hope
less. The frail body, weakened with ascetic
fervor, triumphed over disease and death.
In his convalescent state, he began his bat
tie. bearing harder on the rich than on the
Door. Soon the Beneventini saw with JOY
and surprise the most dreaded chief with
his band led in chains to prison. Conspira-
tors found it unsafe to hatch plots where
Gov. Pecci ruled and sought an asylum
elsewhere In three years the reign Of law,
with order and peace, was established
that Pope Gregory recalled him to fill a
xnore important post.
Perugia was the seat of popular discon-
tent; thither Gregory sent the successful
young diplomat. Again he was successful,
80 successful that there came time when
the prisons Of Perugia did not hold single
criminal.
There were educational disputes in Bel
sium; indeed all the affairs of the church
were disordered. Gregory again turned to
Mgr. Pecci to smooth difficulties and bring
order out of chaos. He went as nuncio to
Brussels--a post he filed with credit to him
self. the church, the Belgian court and peo-
ple. It was King Leopold's verdict that he
was 40 clever a politician rs ne was N
excellent churchman.
Before his return to Rome he visited Lon
don and Paris, aid was received by Victoria,
Prince Albert and Louis Philippe, to whom
he had been warmly recommended by Leo
pold.
Death had claimed the bishop of Perugia.
The hearts of the people and the clergy
turned to him, who had endeared himself
to them in his brief sojourn as governor.
The pope acceded to their wishes, but in
tended frs. 70 bestow the red hat. When
the nuncio reached Rome Gregory lay dy-

His successos, Plus TX, confirmed the ap-
Dointment. For 81 years Leo filed

head a man Of less diplomatic skill, less tact,
than Cardinal Pecci. He carefully avoided
everything that could give offence, but was
determined there should be no delay that
he could prevent in assembling the conclave,
which should be ten days after the death
of pope. At that time the papal tiara was
not crown to be coveted.

was necessary to an election. If no choice
