such a wonderful impression as did the
aged Leo. He possessed a marvellous
individuality, which was heightened by
his remarkable vigor and tenacity in
old age. At ninety, when he gave Ben
Iamin Constant a sitting for his por-
trait, the French painter was aston
tshed at the brilliancy of his intellect.
Yet with serene poise and strength he
passed on for three years more to his
Jubilee, retaining for more than quar-
ter Of a century that papal power
which, it was supposed, was conferred
for only a short fine upon feeble old
man in 1878. He proved one of the
strongest in physical endurance as we'll
rs in mental qualities that had ever
been elevated to the papal throne.
AS the head Of the Catholic church
the achievements of Leo XIII. are
memorable. Even those not in the Ro-
man communion freely admitted his
greatness, while to the devout Catholic
he was the personifcation of goodness.
He was both statesman and priest, and
his views, like hts ambitions, were of
the widest. His services as papal nun
clio at Brussels gave him that stamp Of
the diplomat which never left him. In
close touch with the affairs of many
nations, hfs extra ordinary memory, his
fresh and earnest interest in the on-go-
ings of the world, made his contribu-
tons to passing history of peculiar sig
n1ficance and value.
In America the late pope seemed to
take an especially vivid interest, which
was evinceA. in wise counsels to his
people in this country on many occa-
Sions. To the republican form of gov
eminent he showed himself a good
friend upon more than one occasion.
in his encyclicals On socialism is seen
how his sympathy for the struggling
md aspiring masses was balanced by
his fine sense Of the necessary order
Ind stability of society. His refined in
tellect, his simplicity Of life, his unaf-
fected piety, all exalted to eminence by
his extraordinary career, made him an
inspiring parsonage even to those who
did not recognize him as spiritual
ruler and teacher, and Protestants as

and, it may be added, prince. He was
b prince in nature before he was either
cardinal or pope.
From the time he was elected pope the
city of Rome has been in the occupa-
Hon of the king Of Italy and has indeed
been the political capital Of Italy, the
laws Of that kingdom paying no ,atten-

Of violence. Fortunately for him, he
was almost Immediately taken i'll with
the typhoid fever, and his death was
supposed to be certain. This calamity
softened the nature OF the people, and
they began to talk about this intcilectu-
al young priest who had exposed bis
life in Rome to the pestilence. Instead
of antagonizing him they formed pro-
cessions and went to public prayers in
his behalf, and when he recovered it
was looked upon as in the nature of q
miracle.
They were mistaken. however, as to
his worldly force.
There lived in mountain fastness in
the state a celebrated brigand named
Pasquale Colletta. who had a band Of
fourteen murderers, and they had COM
Lifted every species Of odfense. The
priest governor laid his plans we'll, and
one day the people were surprised to
see come into the town, manacled and
under guard. the chief Of the band and
every one of his myrmidons. In spite
Of their threats, promises and peMtence
they were executed.
Pecci now turned his attention to the
lawless mobiles who had countenanced
such trespasses, and when one Of these
undertook to browbeat him and threat
cned to 20 to Rome and have him re-
called the governor said, marquis, be-
fore you get to the Vatican you shall
pass through the castle Of st. Angelo"
This was the state prison at Rome. and
its name was ominDus.
A feeling grew that this young man
had special powers with the pope. Evil

He searched the lawless castles, be-
gan to build good roads. examined and
lowered the taxes, made the collec-
ton of the revenue effective. and thus
spent nearly three years making an or
derby state out Of most disorderly
one.
Pope Gregory now recalled him to
Rome and appointed him governor of
Perugia, where he will always be re-
membered as one Of the wisest men
who ever took charge of her fortunes.
This city stands near Assist, where Ia
the monastery founded by st. Francis.
1t was full of Mazzinfs revolutionary
societies.
The object the papal authorities had
was the suppression of these plotting
spirits by Pecci, but he commenced in a
different way.
