Unknown to Cincinnatians.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 4-The name Of Car
dinaI Sarto, who has been elected successor
TO the late Pope Leo, was unfamiliar to
the clergy of this city. Even Archbishop
Elder confessed that his knowledge of
Cardinal Sarto is. slight He said his cleo
ton to the pontffiCate a surprise to
him, but he thought ii was the best thing
that could have happened for the church,
as he has not been identified with factions.

Archbishop Farley Delighted.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Archbishop Farley,
when informed OF the election OF Cardinal
Sarto said: II am delighted that the con-
clave has ended so soon. and that its choice
has fallen on so acceptable a person as
Cardinal Sarto."
During Bishop Farley's visit abroad a
year ago he met the new Pope in Venice
and was greatly impressed with him. Dur
Ing the half hours conversation Archbishop
then bishop. Farley had with Cardinal
Sarso, the latter asked great many ques-
lions about the church I'm America and
seemed very much interested in this
country.
General satisfaction was manifested by
Chicago Catholics over the election of the
new Pope. The fOreign-speaking people
as well as the most ardent champions OF
the idea OF Americanism in the Church
agree that the choice was a wise one.

BERLIN, Aug. 4.-The election of Car

sion here. All sections of the press regard
the choice as wise. praise Sartos con-

lief that he will be a religious rather than
a political Pope
Replying to the question whether the
election was acceptable to Germany, a rep
resentative of the Foreign Office answered:
''Unqualiedly so from an official view
point Sarto Is a mild-mannered man and
has never been active politically"

Deep Sea Fishing.

Talk about catching catfish
with liver, that is nothing to
catching sharks with red-hot
rivets, and We, Us & Co. did
that one time. I shipped in a
new steel ship from England
to Frisco. All steel ships carry
riveter and a portable forge on
the first voyage to make any needed
repairs, and in this ship the "bom-
kins"- that is the iron cones pro-
jecting out from each quarter of
the ship to hook the main braces
to-were riveted to the single
plates, which a heavy wind would
be sure to buckle.
When we got down to the south
east trade winds, which were light
at that time, we hooked the main
braces to ring bolts inboard and
the riveter put an extra length OF
plate on to relieve the strain.
While he was employed at this
job a shovel-nosed shark came
along to rubber at him and see
what he could pick up. Some one
said to the captain: "Here is an
eighteen foot man-eater under the
quarter" ''Get some pork" said
the captain, 'and throw some rivets
in the forge. Blow her up there,
boy, and get them white-hot and
LII feed this fellow a little pork
until he thinks he has a snap.
Then we'll give him little stom-
ach warmer in the shape of hot
rivets.'
When Johnny Shark got his
nose we'll out of the water and was
gobbling each bit of pork as it
came to him, they let 60 shower
of white-hot rivets and he got
some of them. He went skipping
over the water for about half a
mile and then turned up. and that
was his finish.
I see you believe this so [ will

little second lieutenant in a gun
boat on the China coast who was
always up to some devilment. He
had a little bit of wire and con-
ical sodawater bottle with powder
in it. A wire attached to his lit
tie battery ran through the cork.
He would wrap the bottle in pork
rind and drop it over the side

there, or thereabouts. But when
the four heartless smokers kept on

he, with all the signs of outward

The next day, in order to even

Retributi0n.

BILE fund of material to prove that
disorder and trouble will follow
every departure from the straight
and narrow path that leads to hap
piness and peace. And perhaps
there is no instance in the whole
history of the moral world that
proves this more plainly than
the career and the end of that
proud Corsican, whose name
is associated with carnage and
blood, and whose fame was pro-
claimed from the iron jaws of the
murderous cannon. Regardless
alike of the requirements of the
moral law, the dictates Of human
ity, or the principles of justice, he
rolled a tempest of war over the
world, spreading terror and death
around him, awakening the cry
of lamentation from the siege of
Toulon to the great harvest of
death at Waterloo"
The pride of his heart was to is
sue a decree from the Kremlin.
Strange infatuation! Blind and
misguided man! To accomplish
this darling object of his ambition
he concentrated all the power,
wealth and physical force-which
he had acquired during eighteen
or twenty years of wholesale human
butchery-into soiled phalanx
to be hurled against the great
Northern Empire. He felt secure
in his own strength when leading
on to victory-as he thought
those stern warriors who had
hundred times withstood the shock
and the carnage of the battlefield.
What the sword of the Cossack
and the Calmuck could not effect
the elements did; and that solid
column, bristling with steel, which
had been the terror of kings, be-
came stiffened in death by the
keen northern blasts, and thus at
last found master in the king of
terrors; and he who went out a
proud and naughty conqueror re-
turned stripped of his power and
vaingIory, and carved for himself
on his return track a passage to,
and dug his own grave in, st.
Helena's wave worn rock. Thus
have we seen that man may rear
a lofty column of ambition and
build Babylon of self-confdence
and self-dependence; but there is a
power mightier than he. The
loud-capped tower and the gor-
geous palace shall crumble todust,
and the head of the proud lie low
with the clods of the valley. The
principles of the great universal
government will roll sternly and
unyieldingly on; they are the same
today as yesterday, and will be
forever. "Whosoever exalteth him
self shall be abased, and he that
humbleth himselfshall be exalted"

Plutus is whimsical-eccentric to
a degree. To some he opens his
money bags while they are yet in
the cradle; upon others he showers
gold when they are on their death
beds. Sometimes he picks up q
carload of concentrated filthy lucre
and throws it at some shiftless,
lazy, good-for-nothing fellow, hit
ting him fair and square on his
bump of acquisitiveness. At other
times he comes up sneakingly,
seizes you unawares, and pitches
you headlong into stream OF
riches, where he leaves you to sink
orswim, as fate may decide, or your
own inclinations may dictate. l
have met the old gentleman only
once; when I became of age he paid
me a visit and burdened my tight
heart with his soul-corrupting and
peace-destroying gifts. But there
were so many of my relatives who

and so many more who thought
they knew [ was altogether too
weak to bear up under the load of
riches and their attendant respon-
sibilities; that between them they
relieved me of burdens, riches. re-
sponsibilities, and everything else
they could get their hands on
for which Christian and blood-re-
lation-like act I thank them heart

again there'll be trouble. Whew!
I feel sorry for the old blind fool
even now, when I think of the fate
that awaits him if ever I get with

all this has nothing to do with my

On a cold and stormy winter
night five men were sitting in the
smoking room of the old Garfield
House, Omaha, Neb. Considered
from a standpoint of wealth they
were all heavyweights. They had
been talking about the boom in
Sioux City; the death of Jesse
James; the mining excitement in
Leadville; the new Omaha reser-
voir; the extension of the B. & M;
the demand for laborers on the 0.

intermission which all made use

at their cigars. When the air in

And I was never like some fools

SIN '76 I left Ohio and went to
Colorado. There l made the &C
quaintance of an old miner, who
took a liking to me. He told me
he had bushels Of money in one
of the Denver banks. He wanted
a partner to go with him to GER
tain creek where we could wash
out tons of gold if we felt like it.
I agreed to go with him. On the
way he took sick and died. But
before he crossed the Great Divide
he told me that he had niece in
Omaha, to whom be had willed
the money on deposit in the Den
yer bank. He took an old, greasy
pocketbook from little oilcloth
bag, and asked me to deliver it to
the girl. Then he gave me what
ready money and gold dust he had
about him-a little over 81, 400
and started on his journey to the
new diggin's. I buried him. Then
I opened the pocketbook. It con-

The Duke Of Wellington.

States has contained longer or
shorter articles on Napoleon Bon
raparte. Nearly every writer of
Importance, and a great many Of
very little importance, have had
whirl at him, until the general
reader has almost come to think
him the only real warrior that ever
lived. Yet there were others.
Prominent among them, was one
born in the same year, namely the
Duke of Wellington.
He was an Irishman and was
christened Arthur Wesley. The
original family name was Wellesley.
He spent a number of years at
Eaton. but finished his education
in France. He achieved but few
honors at college, being rather a
dull pupil in most of his studies.
His father, the Earl Of Warrington,
died when Arthur was but twelve
years of age, leaving the family
in very Strengthened circumstances,
SO Arthur began at a very early
age to shift for himself. The bent
of his inclination was toward the
military, and as this coincided with
the wishes of his mother, he en-
tered a regiment of the British
Foot as ensign, at the age ofeight-
cen. In six years he had advanced
through the innumerable ''steps"
from the Office of an ensign to
that Of aforementioned. These
promotions were not earned by
deeds of valor on the battlefield,
but were purchased or obtained
through family influence. Upon
attaining his majority he was re-
turned to the Irish House of Com
mons, and the last three of those
six years he was a member of
that body.
In 1893 the Revolutionists, then
in control of France, declared war
against England; and it was in
this war that Colonel Wesley saw
his first active service. On his :
28th birthday he landed with his
regiment in India. His career
there, covering a period of eight
years, was marked with brilliant
success, and he developed into the
greatest warrior of the age. For
his efficient services in India he
was dubbed Knight of the Bath,
and Sir Arthur Wellesley (the
family had resumed the older
spelling of the name) returned to
England. Or this return voyage
he touched at the island of st.
Helena, where his afterwards great
opponent served the last days of
his short and most eventful life.
When not in active service Sir
Arthur was always serving his coun-
try in the Legislative branch. He
occupied several important posi-
lions, but his career as statesman
was not a brilliant one. In 1903
he was put in command of the ex-
petition to the Iberian Peninsula.
The qualities developed in India
we'll fitted him for the task now in
hand, and probably no other man
then living was so we'll fitted to
manage the troops of his half civil
lied allies. The French army was
beaten at every point, and the sue
cess of the expedition was already
determined when Sir Arthur's
command was terminated by the
arrival of superior officer. Dur
ing the next five years his career,
in the Peninsular War was one of
unbounded success. He out-ma-
neuvered and overcame all of Ma.
poleon's best generals. It was after
the battle of Talavara that Sir
Arthur was raised to the peerage
and became the Duke of Yelling
ton.
