THE NEW POPE
Career and Character Of Cardinal
sarto. Successor Of Leo XII.

Career and Character Of Cardinal
Sarto, Successor Of Leo XIII.
Giuseppe Sarto was born at Riesi,
in the diocese of Treviso and province
of Venice, on June 2, 1885, and is thus
in his 69th year. He began his edu-
cation at a seminary at Ereviso, and
continued it at Padua, the seat Of the
famous university. one of the best not
only in Italy, but in the world.
Plus X. was only % when he was
consecrated a priest at Castel Franco,
the birthplace of the great master
Giorgione. acting afterwards for nine
years as coadjutor to the parish priest
of Tombolo, province Of Padua, a small
,illage Of 295O people, who were the
first to appreciate his virtues. HIS
kindness was untiring. He sought to
fill their wants, and never a murmur
was heard when he was called in the
middle of a winter night to a death
bed which proved to be nothing OF the
kind. He gave freely OF his very small
means, until he often went without
meals himself, but he kept many a
poor family from starvation.
In 1867 he was appointed parish
priest at Salzano, which was consid-
cred an important promotion. being a
village of 3341 souls. Still ne was ex-
ceedingly sorry to leave FOmbolo,
having become attached to the people.
The peasants, when he left, made a
most enthusiastic demonstration, cry
ing. viva, Don Giuseppe, while many
women whose children he had nursed
wept copiously. He distinguished him
self so much at Salzano that he was
only kept there two years, which is
remarkable in the career of an Italian
parish priest In 1875 he was elected
chancellor of the bishopric Of Trevisa,
then spiritual director of that semi
nary. Judge Of the ecclesiastical tribu-
nal and finally vicar general.
Pope Leo, who had highly appre-
ciated his cleverness, piety and mod
esty. appointed him in November
1884. at the age of 40 years, bishop OF
Mantua. where he remained nine years
until 1898, when he was made car
dinal and appointed patriarch OF ven
ice. He there distinguished himself
as a thorough reformer, suppressing
all abuses, restoring the dignity OF
the clergy and the earnestness Of re
ligion. To him is due the revival OF
a Gregorian chant in the beautiful
churches overlooking the lagoons, and
to him is due the strict return to
| lithurgic rules.
From his appointment rose heated
| polemics between the holy see and
the Italian government The latter, as
heir to the ancient privileges granted
by the pope to the republic of Venice
sustained that it had the right to
choose and appoint the patriarch. The
government, however, after having
long refused its exequatur, eventually
granted it to Sarto, who, meanwhile
succeeded in gaining general esteem
including that of the government ofh
| cials. The Italian cabinet has no feel
ing against Sartc personally. In fact
he might quite well have been theiI
;hoice if the, papacy had not wished
aim. but it was a political question on

LIFE GUARD DROWNED IN SURF
Captain Lake, of Atlantic City, Tried

Captain Lake, of Atlantic City, Tried
to Save Boys In Drifting skiff.
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 5.-Captain
Charles J. Lake, the first man ap-
pointed here as a paid life guard and
the chief of the beach patrol, died like
a hero in the surf seeking to rescue
two boys, whose skiff had gone adrift
The drowning occurred in front of the
Royal Palace Hotel and was witnessed
by hundreds. The body has not been
recovered. He was walking along the
beach when two boys in their bathing
suits came along and told the captain
that they were going out to the bar
in a skiff. Soon afterwards the crowds
on the beach saw the boys row out to
the bar and jump out of their boat. A
big wave sent the skiff adrift and the
boys ran after it, clambering over the
sides. Another high wave washed the
oars adrift, leaving them helpless.
Seeing the danger of the boys, Cap
tain Lake swan out to sea and was
almost withiA reach Of the boat, when
he threw up his hands and went be-
meath the waves. A surf boat manned
by two guards had put out to the res
cue of the boys also and the skiff was
picked up and brought ashore. Search
for the body of the drowned man was
then instituted, but without success.

quickly, young Elwood Siple, who had
been sleeping beside his father, had no
chance to escape. His body, burned to
a crisp, was afterward found where the
bed had stood, in a sitting posture, as
II he had attempted to get up.
A bucket brigade, hastily formed by
the villagers, worked so effectively that
the fire did not get beyond the room in
which the fatalities occurred.
Mrs. Siple's body was almost entirely
consumed. Siple's scanty clothing was
burned completely off. He is in pre-
eariOus condition.
A 12-year-Old daughter escaped with
slight burns and told the story of the
tragedy.

This true story" comes from Water
VILE. 1t occurred at a meeting Of the
Sunday school in one Of the Waterville
churches. Just before the classes were
to be excused the superintendent asked
if there was any one present that
would like to make any remarks or ask
any questions. All was still for mo-
ment. and then little tot Of five years
said, I'D like to speak piece" Very
well, my little miss; you shall speak a
piece" The little girl walked slowly
down the aisle and, taking a position
directly in front Of the altar, made a
neat bow and said:
There was a Jolly wobbin who kept his
head a bobbin'
As he gobbled up big fat worm.
And he said. 1--WE eat forty-two brothers
and q half dozen others,
And, golly. how it tickles when they

The little girl bowed and, amid laugh

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May l7.-At the Grand
Lodge session Of district No. /, Independent
Order of B'nai Birth, in this city to-day
It was proposed to secure the Intervention
OF the United States to stop any further
masacres Of the Jewish people by Russia.
Well-known Jews OF New England and
New York comprise the membership OF this

President OF the Grand Lodge Jacob

the members proposed to express authori-
tatively the Jewish opinion on all ques-
tions affecting the race. and in this line he
called attention to the good work which
had been done by the order in removing
many Of the Jews from the Ghetto In New
York to more desirable quarters.

in which the members expressed them
selves bitterly, followed the reading Of the

MANILA, May l7.-Details Of the killing
Of Capt. Overton OF the Fifteenth Cavalry
and Private Noyes Of the same regiment,
by bolomen at Sucatlan, Island OF Min
dano, have been received at the military
headquarters here.
Capt. Overton and Lieut.. Cameron, with
eleven cavalrymen, who were pursuing
outlaws In the mountains peopled by the
savage Montiscos. surprised a band and
captured and disarmed thirty bolomen.
The prisoners were temporarily confined
in q room and their bolos were thrown
In a heap in a corner. Capt. Overton and
two men stayed to guard the captives
while Cameron, with the rest Of the party.
started in pursuit Of the other outlaws.
The natives. seeing the weakness Of their
guard, suddenly made rush for their
bolos and succeeded in getting possession
OF the weapons. Some Of them slashed
Capt. Overton in the wrist. severing an
artery. Noyes was instantly killed and
dismembered. The other private. Hart
low, was fatally wounded. The gang then
escaped.
Subsequently Lieut.. Cameron returned
and recovered the bodies. It was evident
that the Americans had put up good tight
as they were found surrounded by dead
Montiscos. The authorities blame Capt
Overton for retaining such an inadequate
guard and for carelessness In not placing the
bolos where the prisoners could not by any
chance get at them.
