 Luigi Oreglia, of the family of Santo
 Stefano, was born in Bene- Vagienna.
 Piedmont, July 3, 1928. He devoted
 himself eagerly to study. gave splendid proofs of ability and was soon known for his profound theology. From the academy for noble ecclesiastics where he studied various languages, he en- tered the pontifical court as bishop. On April 25, 1853. he was made refer endary of "segnatura" then was sent as internuncio to the court of Holland. The illustrious prelate did not remain long there, but was promoted to be nuncio at the court of Lisbon and tit ular archbishop of Bagnetta. In the discharge of this high office Oreglia showed the greatest prudence and and courtesy, but at his own request he was recalled home. where Plus TX raised him to the rank of cardinal, conferring upon him the title of St. Anastasio. On March A, 1884, he was appointed to the see of Palestrina, holding besides in virtue of his rank of "abate commendatario,,' the abbey of Saints Vincenzo and Anastasio at
 the "tre fontane." He is camerlengo of the Holy Roman church and was chan cellor of the Roman Sacred college.
 bishop of Porto and Santa Rufina. and
 is now bishop of the united suburban churches of Ostia and Velletri and pre- feet of the sacred congregation of St. Sermonius. He belongs to the regular clergy and is member of several ec clesiastical congregations, and protec- tor of many associations and acade mics.
 Restless and sarcastic, not of supc-
 rior intelligence, Oreglia di Santo Ste fano has frequently found employment for the Italian law courts, and the suits of Oreglia against Amalfitano
 and a long civil dispute which the Camerlengo had with the Italian gov ernment have become famous. Both 1, had their origin in Oreglias admins tration of tEe vast estate of Saint Paolo, which include extensive proper ties outside of Rome. In the manage
 meat of these estates Oreglia exercises a medieval authority. Those under ! him have to submit to an iron disci- pline and the Camerlengo lets no op- portunity escape of impressing upon i them the weight of his authority.
 | Seranfino Vannutelli was born in 1 Gennazzano, near Tivoli, November 25, ! 1924. After having successfully passed 1 through his period of study in the 1 Capranica college in Rome he was ap- | pointed auditor, through the influence : of Mgr. Meglia. in Mexico and after | wards at Munich, and later held the ! cffioa of apostolic delegate in Peru. and ! that of Nuneio in Brussels. Urfortun-
 ate ly this position became almost inn possible through the manifest hostility
 of the liberal cabinet then in power. i which had declared war on all religious i institutions. Matters went so far that relations were broken off with the i holy see, and Mgr. Vannutelli was com 1 pelled to resign his office in 1879. In the following year Lee XIII sent him as nuncio to Vienna, where through : his experience in managing business
 and through still rarer qualities he not
 only made himself important to the
 holy see, and won the esteem of all around him. but also attained to the ! rank of cardinal on March 14. 1887 He is at present grand penitentiary and bishop of the suburban diocese of ! Frascati: he is also d member of the most important ecclesiastical congrega- | tions and of the commission of cardi- i nals for appointing bishops in Italy He is protector of the college of St 4; Girolamo of the Illyrians, with regard
 to which college certain incidents arc well known in connection with its 1 transformation into q college of Slavs l Serafino VannutelIi comes of d hum | ble family of agriculturalists; he has
 many connections in Rome and in the
 neighborhood. He is tall, handsome and energetic even at the age of 69. Al

 hgion. He is especially noted for hi: | diplomatic prudence, and those gov ernments who know his tact regard him with kindly feeling. It is sait
 that he is the favorite candidate fol | the papacy in Austro-Hungary. and i is a curious fact that he is also sup posed to be specially favored by tht government of Italy. He is liberal. en frightened. and modern in his ideas ambitious like all men who know theil
