The election of the patriarch of Ven

he was the only candidate sufficiently
acceptable to all to secure the necessary
two-thirds, which the laws OF the church
require. One Of the cardinals said nat
he believed Plus X. would follow the

Receives Homage of Cardinals.
AS the new pontiff stepped from be-
hind the altar, the only touch of color
about him being his red and gold
shoes, he really seemed to be the en-
bodiment of his holy Office. His face
was pale and clearly softened by emo
ton. He paused a moment, as he
came before the expectant cardinals,
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 en-
throned to serve the so-called first
obedience" of the cardinals.
All kissed his hand and feet. while
he saluted each on the cheek with
the kiss of peace. Then all broke into
the TIE Deum with such effect that
scarcely an eye was dry.
Blessing of New Pope.
Plus x. then rose and in a voice at
first tremulous, but gradually becom-
ing full and firm, administered the
papal blessing to all of the members OF
the sacred college. 1t was received
with bowed and uncovered heads.
The fisherman's ring not yet HAVING
been found, a new one designed by
Camerlengo Oreglia was placed on the
pontif's finger as a symbol of renewed
power and evidence that the Catholic
church has once more a sovereign

Pope Plus x. is very learned in the &C.
clesiastical doctrines, is modest, ener-
getic, a good administrator and or
ganizer, a patron of the arts and his seri-
usnes always has been proverbial.
Early in April Pope Leo, in a conver-
sation with Father Perosi, the Italian
composer, said in speaking of Cardinal
Sarto:
Hold him very dear, Perosi, as in the
future he will be able to do much for
you. We firmly believe he will be OF
successor"
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 uprightness of
his life and for liberal ideas. He is a
modest and agreeable man, highly cul-
tivated, kind-hearted, still strong and
robust in spite of his GO years. He has
never taken much part in the political
and public life of the church. but has
divided his time between study and good
works.
Although most faithful to the holy
see, ne was presented to the king and
queen of Italy in Venice. He NAV be
considered among the more liberal
members of the Italian e~piscopate and
sacred college. He is rather timid in
expressing an opinion. 1t is said that
Leo XIII. always thought very highly
OF him and sided with him on one oc-
caslon when Sarto disapproved of Ram
polla's policy.

makes money in more ways than
any other animal. His flesh, pelt

Poultry Shows.

Encourage the shows, for they
are the life of the business. 1t is
here where the beginner becomes
interested and determines to buy
some fowls which catches his eye.
Many sales of stock and eggs are
made as a result of the show.
At the show where birds of every
description, from the Bantam to
the Brahma in an endless variety of
shapes and colors are on dress pa
rade, that is where among the many
visitors thousands are annually
added to the list of Fanciers.
There seems to be something ir-
resistible in the grand array of fine
feathers at the poultry show which
awakens longing desire to possess
some of the many beautiful fowls
on exhibition, in the breasts Of
nearly every one attending the
show.
AS an aid to those who have al
ready begun the breeding of pure
bred poultry the show serves as a
school where he must learn by plac
ing his fowls in competition with
others, in order to ascertain their
true worth and if found wanting,
profit by the experience gained,
study the score cards Of your birds,
see wherein they were found want
ing and breed out the defects be-
fore another year.
Give the show your hearty sup
port. Become a member of your
poultry association. Ifyou live in

lar for one years membership in

Our object is to emphasize the
belief that preachers, lawyers, all
men, ought to take a more active
part in cur canvasses, in al cur pc
litical matters and more often par
ticipate in our popular assemblies
and mass meetings. We think it
we'll for preachers not to become
active politicians, not to partici-
pate prominently in the manchin-
cry of parties and not to be active
in mere personal advocacy of can
didates. But preachers, all pro
fessional men, as well as all bust
ness men, are citizens, and every
citizen owes it to himslf, to his
family, TO his business, to his city,
his county, his State, his country
to play his part in the discussion,
settlement and consummation of
all political matters. All citizens
ought on proper occasions to at
tend popular meetings, and be
ready to lead, guide, instruct, pro-
test, denounce, if need be. The
country ought to have for her
service her very best and best
qualified citizens in Kentucky.
Where our judiciary is elective, the
judicial department--its integrity,
its ability, its purity, its fearless

comes the duty of every citizen

for the redemption of such judici-

"This meeting and these speeches
may or may not have any appreci-
