A BRUTE HUNG AT AsCTIN.-Wil-
liam Hamilton, who outraged and
murdered Mabel Richards, ii years
old, at Asotin, Sunday, was hanged by
a committee composed of almost the
entire community, Tuesday night.
After suspicion had been directed to-
wards the wretch by circumstantial
incidents, he was taken before the
Coroner and the Prosecuting Attorney
and these officers concluded that he
was probably the perpetrator of the
crime. They gave out, however, that
further examination would be post
poned till morning, and the crowd dis
persed. Then, under assurance that
the officers would endeavor to secure
a fair trial, he made full confession,
and was at once hurried to the Asotin
Jail. When the crowd learned that
Hamilton had confessed the horrible
crime the excitement became intense
and the indignation beyond restraint.
A rush was made for the Jail, the pris-
oner taken from his cell and hurried
to the most convenient light pole and
hanged, and left swinging to the breeze
as an expression of the popular belief
that there are some crimes which do
not justify the laws delay.

The New Pope.

The choice Of the cardinals for a
successor to Pope Leo has fallen upon
Cardinal Sarto, Patriarch of Venice.
Giuseppe Sarto was born at Riesi, a
town in Sicily, diocese of Treviso, on
June I'd, 1885, and was created Cardi-
nal in 1893. by Pope Leo, receiving the
title of :. Bernardo dele Terme. He
is al-O Bishop Of Mantua.
The election Of Sar,o is a matter OF
some surprise as his name did not ap-
pear among the first mentioned eli
gible candidates. He is said to be a
modest, though agreeable man, highly
educated, kind hearted, strong, robust
and capable. mentally and physically
for the high position he is called to fill.
The Line of Popes-or Heads Of the
accession tool, place a. d. IL, down to
Sarto, Il perio,l of eighteen hundred
and sixty-two years, during which
time lightweight Popes have ruled,
averaging twenty-one years to each.
The reception of the palium, the
sacred ve.tment worn by the Pope, his
coronation, and possession of the Lat.
eran church, his home in Rome, will
soon follow, but the entire Papal juris-
diction passed into his hands when he
accepted the election.
The power OF the Pope in church
matter is unlimited. He is supreme
legislator for the church and can in
terpret, modify and dispense in all
matters of ecclesiastical law. He is
infallible in all church matters. He is
the supreme judge, administrator and
supervisor of all work done in his vine
yard, which comprises the Roman
Catholic Church on earth, bodily and
collectively. He is the visible and
material head of the whole church
whose invisible and eternal head lie
Jesus Christ.
Clothed with this mighty power, it
is a matter OF considerable Importance
that it should pass under the domina-
ton OF one who will be able to bring
to bear upon the many matters of
church policy the wisdom, the pru-
dence and the discretion that may pro.
mote harmony in the church and
command the respect OF the world.
