about him being his red and gold

was pale and softened by emotion. He
paused moment as he came before
the expectant cardinals and then
seated himself on the throne with a
hurried movement, as though he had
suddenly grown weak. His back was
to the altar and he was enthroned to
serve the so-called FIRST obedience" of
the cardinals. They came forward,
one by one, some calm and smiling,
others sober and noncommittai. while

was received with wild enthusiasm on
the part Of thousands of persons who
had gathered outside st. Peters. The
scene within the basilica when the
Pope pronounced his benediction was
one Of great excitement. Thousands
of persons within the cathedral
cheered and waved their hats.
While Prince Chigi, master of the
conclave, was drawing up the official
act of the election and acceptance Of
the newly elected Pope, the latter, sur
rounded by his friends, disappeared
into a small room near the altar, where
he donned the white robes Of his Office
He was assisted by his conclavlst, who
first knelt and kissed his masters hand
and thus received the first apostolic
blessing given by Plus x.
The new Pope was attired in white
with the exception Of red shoes, but
he did not stop to remove the red car
dinal's stockings for the white papal
ones, and these showed as he raised
his gown to move forward. When he
was robed the secretary Of the con.
clave, Mgr. Merry del Val, kneeling,
offered him the papal white cap, amid
breathless silence. He did not follow
the precedent created by Pope Leo,
who declined to give his red cap to
the master of ceremonies as a sign
that he would soon be created a cardl-
nal. but with slight smile took the
white cap. placed 1t on his head and
droppes the red one lightly on the

foot, and he saluted each on the cheek
with the kiss of peace. Then all broke
into the "Te Deum" with such effect
that scarcely an eye was dry.
Plus x. thereupon rose, and in a
voice at first tremulous, but gradually
becoming full and firm, administered
the papal blessing to all the members
of the sacred college. 1t was received
with bowed and uncovered heads.

been found, new one designed by
Camerlengo Oreglia was placed on
the pontiff's finger as a symbol of re-

Catholic church once more has a

The crowd Of people around st. Pc
ter's square watching the stovepipe Of
the Sistine Chapel was the largest that
has gathered there since the conclave
of cardinals began for the purpose OF
selecting a successor to Pope Leo
XIII. 1t is estimated that there were
at least 10000 people around the
square.
Meanwhile masons and carpenters
had been busy breaking down doors,
so that the cardinal deacons, to-
gether with the master of ceremonies,
the conclavists and many others
might proceed to the balcony Of st.
Peters. The populace, waiting in the
piazza, had already seen the little
thread Of smoke, almost transparent
which told what to expect. so that

SKETCH OF THE NEW POPE.

liberal Views.

Liberal Views.
Giuseppe Sarto, the new pope, was
born in Riesi, diocese of Treviso
northern Italy, June 2, 1886 and was
created cardinal by Leo XIII. at the
consistory of June ~, 1898, receiving
the title of s. Bernado dele Terma. He

ial. He has been known for many
years as one Of the greatest preachers
in the church. Plus X. enjoyed great
popularity In his diocese. and was
honored by all for his purity for the
strict uprightncss of his life and for
liberal Ideas. He is a modest and
agreeable man, highly cultivated, kind
hearted, still strong and robust in
spite of his CO years. He has never
taken much part In the political and
public life of the church but has dlvid.
ed his time between study and good
works.
Although most faithful to the holy
see, he was presented to the king and
queen of Italy in Venice. He may be
considered among the more liberal
members of the italian episcopate and
sacred college. He is rather timld in
expressing an opinion. 1t Is said that
Leo XIII. always thought very highly
Of him and sided with him on one oc.
casion when Sarto dlsapproved Of
Rampolla's policy.
Maud Howe, daughter of Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, who resided in Rome for
many years, writing on who Will Be

the week dated Aug 1, says Of Cardl-
nal Sarto:

the cardinals and is much beloved by
the Venetians. He is a prudent, cor.

MEALS AT FIVE CENTS EACH.

MAJOR WILLIAM H. BEAN, chief
vi Of the commissary department OF
the Army Of the Missouri, has been
conducting some experiments BY which
he expects to prove that men who work
hard every day can be fe6 nutritiously
and bountifully at a cost Of not to ex-
coed cents per meal. Major Bean
now has ten men in his class They
profess to be thoroughly satisfied with
the quality and the quantity of the
food they receive and the meals have
not yet cost more than the sum speci-
fed
To the ordinary. householder it seems
impossible to provide food at the rate OF
. cents per meal per person. And it is
impossible for the ordinary household
er to do anything of the kind Tho
chief reason for this is that the gov
eminent, by buying provisions in enor-
nous quantities. is enabled to get
them much more cheaply than an indi-
vidual purchaser. And there are other
reasons why soldiers can be provided
with food more cheaply. For instance,
no account is taken of the pay Of a
cook, of fuel used in preparing the
meals. and other items that should have
a place in the expense account.
A report Of Major Beans experiment
says the ter men under his control
were allotted on the first day the fol-
lowing list OF provisions, i'm pounds:
Beef. S%: bacon. PA; flour. 9; hard
bread, .: beans. IL; potatoes. 8; onions,
1; tomatoes. 3; prunes, 8 ounces; sugar,
.; vinegar, 3 10 gills; salt. 6 % ounces;
pepper, 2-5 ounce; matches. one box;
total cost. $3.50 for thirty meals. or >
cents meal. The same amount Of
food stums would cost an individual
purchaser very much more than $1.53.
The beef alone would cost almost that
much.
AS matter Of sact this list Of pro-
visions could not 5e bought at retail
for less than 50 or 81. perhaps more.
The value OF Major Beams inquiry is
not exactly apparent to the general
public except that it shows we pay
good deal more for the things we eat
than we should pay. III that is any
comfort we are all welcome to it.

HOAR ON ROOSEVELT.

he TROUBLE with Senator Hoar is
that he doesn't always vote the
way he talks. We should be able TO ex-
tract a good deal more Of comfort out
o. his criticism Of the attitude of the
president on the Panama business IL It
were not for the lurking belief that
when the proper time. comes Senator
Hoar VIII vote with the administration.
No Democrat more sharply arraigned
the Republican party's Philippine pol
icy than did Senator Hoar, but the sen
ator did all he could to bring about the
reelection Of President Mckinley.
There is nothing particularly new in
the position Senator Hoar has taken
with regard TO Panama and the pres.-
dent. Except for the fact that he is one
OF the besr known Of the Republican
senator's, Senator Hoar's talk would
not be Of special Importance. Every
thing he said in his talk TO the senate
on Thursday has already been said by
Democratic newspapers and Democrat
&c members Of congress. Nobody seri-
ously doubts that the president knew,
eeks before the revolution in Panama,
that a revolution was brewing, and the
record very clearly shows that, as
charged by Senator Hoer, President
Roosevelt took steps to prevent Co
lombia from putting down that revo-
lulion.
The senator from Massachusetts, says
his only purpose in introducing his
resolution Of inquiry was to elicit all
the facts regarding our relations with
che new republic Of Panama. There
seems to be a very pronounced desire,
ON the part Of the Republican majority,
O. prevent, or at least to delay, the
passage Of the resolution The only
reason that can be assigned for the de-
Hy lies in the strong probability that
tfc president can offer no explanation

REsPoHsiBILlTY AND SALARY.

A CHICAGO YOUNG MAN has man
y aged to rob his employers OF $4,000
I'm a little more than two months by
simply holding on 10 the money that
came into his hands and that belonged
to the firm. The salary OF this young
man was 50 a week. Is he very much
more to blame than his employers? In
the Judgment of the court that VIII
pass upon his case he is more guilty
because the. chances are that he VIII be
sentenced to serve a term Of years IN
prison, while the employers viii go on
about their business as before.
But is It fair to put a $9-a-week man
in place where he can steal at the
rate Of $500 per day? Even if you have
nobody dependent on you it is moder-
ately hard to live decently in Chicago
or any other city on 50 a week. The
thing is possible. Of course. Families
have been raised on even less. The
real point I'm this case. however. is that
the individual who is not worth more
than 50 a week to his employers should
never be placed in a position where he
will be very strongly tempted.
The S9-a-week man saw hundreds Of
dollars daily passing through his hands.
There seemed to him so much Of it that
he thought a little taken away now
and then would never De missed We
don't know how badly he needed the
money or whether he needed it at ali
or not. The fact remains that &c was
there for him and he took it. The boy
is a criminal There is TO getting away
from that black fact. And he viii SUI
fer for his crime. as he should suffer
for it. But we insist that a share, and
a large share Of the responsibility rests
with the employers.
The trouble is that no way for rem
edying the evil seems to be open. As
long as men can be found who viii as
sumo large responsibilities for small
salaries employers are going to use
them. To the everlasting credit Of the
low-paid men it should be said that
they are rarely dishonest. Bank cash
iers and others who receive high pay
steal just IS often as their less fortu-
nate salaried brethren This though
their temptation is not so great.
We cannot alter the fact that en-
ployers take too much for granted.
often and often they know employees
are living beyond their means and they
take no steps to restrain them. Then
when the crash comes there is no mer-
cy for the man who succumbs to the
temptation. The whole system is sadly
in need Of revision.
