P.lTRI4RCH OF TENICE.
Cardinal SartO the MOSt Probable
Successor of Leo 4III.

Repeatedly during the last ten years the name
OF one cardinal OF another has been put for
ward as destined to succeed Leo NH as Pontif.
Many Of them have predeceased him, others,
again, have for one reason or another ceased TO
be 'Papabie," and are no longer considered as
possible candidates for the Chair Of st. Peter.
Indeed. the situation at Rome, SO far the
PapaI succession is concerned is so constantly
changing that the letters written about the
subject last year and the views then expressed
are no longer applicable to the present condi-
ton of affairs. This as well as the fact that
Leo XIII is 50 rapidly falling that preparations
for the conclave which is imminent are being
quietly made by Cardinal Oreglia, dean Of the
Sacred College, and chamberlain of the Holy
Roman Church, must be my excuse for reverting
TO a matter which while old in one sense, is al
ways Offering new and interesting features.
1t is Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto. the Patriarch of
Venice. the friend and patron of Abbe Perosi,
the composer who is at the present moment
regarded. not only throughout Italy, but like
wise in the principal capitals of Europe, as
destined to become the next Pope. So little has
been heard of him until now in connection with
the PapaI succession that he may be regarded
in the light of dark horse in the race, which is
perhaps due to the fact that he rarely goes to
Rome that he has never been resident Of the
Eternal City and that from the time Of his
being appointed Vicar General Of the diocese Of
Trevise until now he has held steadily aloof
from all the projects and intrigues Of the Curta-
In .rigues is perhaps a strong expression to use,
and may cause offence. But the vast majority
OF the Italian cardinals. and especially those
who, forming part Of the Curla, are established
in the Eternal City have won their promotion
to the Sacred College as members of the dipIo-
matte service of the Papacy. rather than as
a IA SDt
greater portion of his life in diplomacy. and has
found it the stepping stone to high honors. 1t
naturally leaves him at the close Of his career
rs representative OF the Vatican abroad, with
a greater leaning toward statecraft and scheIn-
ing than toward the administrative and doc
trinal duties OF his Office at Rome. There are
some distinguished Roman Catholic divines who

The hue and cry raised by Professor Somner-
Vile for two heather idols lost in transit soTne
where between here and Japan has resulted in
the finding of the hugo packing case in which
the gods We're shipped to America, and the
idols have been delivered and are placed
in position also at the gates of the Buddhist
temple of the university museum.
Professor SommervilIe purchased the idols in
Japan last May. For three hundred years they
had maintained their threatening attitude in
front Of the hoyasau Temple in the village OF
Kishu. Professor SSommerville bought them and
had them shipped to this country. but in some
way they went astray and have only just come
to hand in Philadelphia.
The Zujin. or guardians Of the temples, are
statues of menacing, grotesque monsters OF
enormous muscle, whose poses depict the silence

endow them. They presumed TO be con-

This is a place of prayer. Leave levity be-

left hand OF the other raised threateninsly.
The hands that are lowered turned palms
outward in the most natural gesture to compel
silence. From the waists flow garments lac

Question Of Foreign Juror.

Whether the presence Of for
eigner. an Austrian, on the trial
jury will invalidate the verdict Is
the interesting question that will
have TO be decided by the State SUI
preGe court on an appeal just taken
from Yazco county in the case oil
Fulcher versus The State. The case
was ore involving the charge OF
nanslaug hter and the jury prompt
~ returned a verdict OF conviction.
Counsel for deferse then moved for
a new trial on the ground that he
had just discovered that one oil the
jurors was not even an American
citizen. Investigation revealed the
fact that the man in question still
owed allegiance to the Austrian en-
peror, his application for naturali-
zation in this country not yet hav.
ing been granted. The presiding
Judge overruled the motion on the
ground that the verdict OF the jury
could not be disturbed except for
fraud or unfairness. There il case
in the State reports which seems to
support this view, but the point is
net expressly decided.

place about half way between the

attacked will never be known, as
all the passengers and driver were
killed. They were picked up the

and the circumstances give eyi-

they would not have been killed.
Their bodies were rifled of every
