Shows the Simplicity and
Sincerity of the
New Pope.

The following letter, written by
the present pope, Plus x, just after
his arrival in Rome to attend the
conclave. was published in one Of
the late Italian papers. The letter
was written to Angelo Sarto, the
pope's brother, who Is a mail car
rier in Mantua. 1t reveals the SIM
pie and sincere nature of the man
who at the beginning of an impor-
tant conclave did not permit his
mind to dwell upon the outcome of
that, but thought only of the friends
who were dear to him:
Dear Brother: 1 have promised
to write to you from Rome and l
carry out my promise before enter
ing the conclave, which will be OPEN

Rome bearable, after the hot winds

Joseph, Cardinal Sarto."

LONDON, Sept. 12.-There seems to
have been streak of perverted genius
in James Lynchehaun. the Irish Grim
inal who has been arrested in Indian
apolis, after leading the British police
a chase after him for pretty much all
of his adult life. He was the black
sheep of his family, and was induced
to go to school only after sundry
thrashings from his mother, who,
though illiterate, had sound views con-
corning the education of her family.
Once in school, the boy proved to be as
smart as he was mischievous. He
seemed to have the knack of absorbing
the contents of his books without TAX
ing the trouble to study. At Is he was
appointed to minor position in one of
the Irish schools, and made such head
way that he was soon a fully qualified
teacher at or near Ealing.
Then he got into trouble of some sort
apparently woman was concerned
In it-and fed, with the police after
him. From that time on the story of
his life has been told in brief outline,
but with the omission of many of the
details that indicate what a strange
compound of ingenuity, urbanity, ro-
nance and ferocity this wild Irishman
was. 1t was just like him to figure out
that a police force was the last place in
which the law would be likely to look
Tor him, and so he managed to become
an officer of the law in Manchester,
through a bogus letter of introduction.
l am told that he was one of the most
popular officers in the force, both with
the other men and with the citizens
with whom he came in contact 1t was
while in that force that he was credited
with having received for execution the
warrant for his own arrest. carving If
about in his pocket for a considerable
time, looking faithfully for himself, and
then unfortunately losing the warrant
his Iawless tendencies eventually made
MIN AN object of suspicion to the Man
chester authorities, and he returned to
ms birthplace, Achill. What became of
the old charges against him does not
appear.
He was a good-Iooking man in those
days, Well-built, quick Witted and with

Although 1t is now nine years since
Lynchehaun made his CHASTITY attempt
TO murder Mrs. Mcdonnell. the crime is

the mutilation inflicted by the criminal
upon the luckless woman was the work
of a human being and not of some
maddened wild beast. The man served
Mrs. Mcdonnell for three months after
his return to Achill island, but she had
not been satisfied with the way his
work was done and got rid of him.
Then he determined to revenge him
self by numbering her. On the night
