st. Heracles in 1852. He became
cardinal in 1887. taking title from the
Church OF st. Cecilia, and was made
secretary of state In the same year.
He is administrator OF the property of
the holy see and Is one of the leading
diplomats of the world.
Still another possible heir TO the pom

but at the age of sixteen was admitted
as a novice into that most austere Of
Carmelite orders, the Order of Bare
foot Carmelites. Upon reaching the
priesthood he was assigned TO the
Church of st. Maria della Scala, and
just before the death of Plus IX. he
became head of the mother house of
the Barefoot Carmelites, and In 1881
he was made superior general of that
order.
Taking title from the Church of st.
Maria del Scala, he was created car.
dinal In 1895. He is accounted the
best authority on canon law in the
sacred college, although his tastes are
scientific. He is still Barefoot Car
melite, but is not now superior gen
eral of the order.

in Italy for head of the church is Car

feared from any of the European gov
ernments, and no political complica-
tions would arise. 1t is said to be a
fact that many of the cardinals think
that the selection of Gibbons would
happily solve many difficulties. North
America has had but three cardinals
McCloskey, Taschereau (who are both
dead and Gibbons.
James Cardinal Gibbons is one Of the
most popular and respected dignitaries
Of the Roman church. He was created
a cardinal by Pope Leo on June z, 1886,
at the age of fifty-two. He is native
of Baltimore, but spent his boyhood in
Ireland, where he received liberal ed
ucatiOn. Returning to America he was
graduated from the st. Charles college,
In 1851. He is known in Rome as the

But while the election Of foreigner

Some Of the Most Prominent
Candidates For the
Papal Throne
70 hundreds of millions Of Roman

"O hundreds of millions of Roman
Catholics throughout the world
the question of paramount In
terest is the selection of n sue
cessor to Pope Leo XIII. TO rule on the
throne of st. Peter. More than quar-
ter Of century has passed since the
college of cardinals has been called
upon TO perform the important duty OF
choosing one of its number to preside
over the destinies of the most powerful
religious organization in ChriStendom.
and of all the cardinals who, took part
in the conclave which elected Pope Leo
but one is alive today-Cardinal Luigi
Oreglia, dean OF the sacred college and
camerlingo of the Catholic church. the
same office that was held by Leo at the
time of his elevation.
While it is generally believed that the
next pope will be chosen from among
the Italian cardinals, II is of especial
interest to Americans that Cardinal
Gibbons, the only American member of
the college, is considered not to be
without chance for succeeding to the
pontifical throne.
That such an event is possible is ex-
planned by the fact that many Members
Of the sacred college are said to favor
n new policy for the church and the
election of foreigner as pope. Should
this plan commend itself to the con
clave and change of policy be agreed
ON Cardinal Gibbons might be the Sc
lection. No opposition to him could be

Philippines, and this new line means
more to his bureau probably than to
any other department of the govern
ment. Expressing his delight, Colonel
Edwards said
'The completion Of the commercial
cable line from San Francisco to Ma
nila will mark new era in the trans
mission of messages to the orient The
advantage of such cable is inestima-
BILE when one considers not only the re-
duction in rate, but that under the
present system cablegrams have to be
relayed eighteen times between Wash
ington and Manila. Hereafter there
will be but six relays. Under the pres
ent system government cables have to
go through the hands of operators of
almost every nationality; but with the
Inauguration of the new service we
will have all English speaking oper-
ators, thus securing greater accuracy.
The new cable service will be a great
saving to the government. The gov
ernment will now pay 80 cents from
San Francisco to Manila, plus the do
nestle rate, which is total reduction
of about one-half."
In directing the operations Of the
treasury department Secretary Shaw
has to have his fingers on the ends Of
the earth, as it We're. Information
from every quarter of the globe Is
necessary at times, and the quicker it
can be received the more valuable 1t
Is. This is especially true Of the immi-
grafton bureau in the treasury depart
ment, and Commissioner General Sar-
gent, who has recently extended his
personal examination of the service as
far as Honolulu, is impressed with the
advantage the new Pacific cable will
be. In discussing that feature of its
benefits the commissioner said:
"Its value to our service cannot be
calculated by figures. 1t puts us in
daily touch with our officials and is Of
the greatest advantage in the admin
istration of the immigration laws in
connection with the island of Hawaii"
Some idea of the Importance attach
ed to the completion of this cable by
government officials is furnished in the
above expression. 1t is regarded at
Washington as great national event.

PACIFIC CABLES VALUE
New Lines Advantages Told
by Government Officials.
A GREAT GAIN TO CIVILIZATION.

Assistant Secretary of State Leomis
Tells of It's Worth In Commerce
and How 1t VIII BE of Particularly
Great Service to the Nnvy-Trans-
mission of Messages to BE Cheaper.
Assistant Secretary of State Loomis,
who has supervision of the consular
service, is most enthusiastic over the
advantages that will follow the open
ing of the new Pacific cable. says the
Philadelphia Press. In discussing the
improvement he said:
Every railway line and cable line
that is built through the undeveloped
portions of the world Is gain to civil
lization because with it commerce and
trade follow This Is illustrated In the
villages and towns In the west.
This cable will be of great advan-
tage to every department Of the gov
ernment, but of particularly great serv-
Ice to the navy, enabling the depart
ment to convey orders to the officers
Of the ships at points which hitherto
they have not been able to reach. 1t
will be Of tremendous advantage in
time of war. Then a cable line con-
Meeting the United States with the
orient will be of great convenience in
the consular service. In case we wish
ed to direct our consular agents to pro-
ceed to China or Japan we could reach

sary."
The operations of squadron Of
American war vessels in Asiatic wa

posal Of the navy department. Rear
Admiral Henry c. Taylor, chief Of the
bureau Of navigation, appreciates the

"Its value is apparent to any one
who will look at the geography Of the
region. Gables were in vogue befora
for telegraphing, and messages In or
dinary times went along tolerably well

Of the ansatlantic cables, the Euro

siderable trouble by delays and by
passing through SO many hands. J

which had become entirely unintelli-
gible in the course of transmission"
Few officials Of the government have
spent more money in cable messages
than Colonel Clarence Edwards, chief
Of the bureau of insular affairs Of the
war department. He felt like throwing
up his cap when the word came that
the Pacific cable had been landed on
northern Luzon. He has to keep in

dinal Domenico Svampa, archbishop of
Bologna, and it is said that Leo him
self believed at one time that Svampa
would be his successor. He is one Of
the youngest members of the sacred
college, being but fifty-two years old.
Like Gotti, he is of humble parentage
and has risen to high place in the
church by force of personal ability. He
was made archbishop of Bologna in
1892 and created cardinal two years
later.
Cardinal Luigi Oreglia di Stefano,
who Is camerlingo or chamberlain of
the Roman Catholic church, was born
in 1928 and created cardinal by Plus
IX. in 1873. He is dean Of the college
of cardinals, archchancellor of the Ro-
man university prefect Of the congre-
cation of ceremonies and member Of
the curia.
1t is remarked that according to the
prophecies Of st. Malachy the symbol
of Pope Leo's successor will correspond
to the words ignis ardens Glowing
fire). The escutcheons of Cardinal
Oreglia and Gotti, which bear a burn
ing star, and the escutcheon of Cardi-
nal Svampa, which bears lighted
torches, are indicated by the words.
st. Malachy was an Irish prelate who
lived in the twelfth century. He wrote
a book which was discovered after his
death and which contained a motto
for every pontiff rom the year 1143
until the end Of the papacy. 1t is de-
f,ared that these prophecies have been
fulfilled in a remarkable manner. He
foretold that the successor of Plus TX.
would have the symbol of a light in
heaven Qumen in coelo). and as q mat
ter of fact the escutcheon which fell to
Cardinal Pecci, who afterward became
Pope Leo Kill, had as its chief fea-
ture very luminous star in the sky.
Whether the prophecies of st. Malachy
will again be verified can be known
only when the sacred college of cardi-
mails has elected successor to Pope
Lao.

Baseball by Electric Light.

The many thousand lovers of the
game Of baseball are much interested
in the effort being made by Charles ID.
Jenney Of Indianapolis to perfect plans
for the lighting of baseball park in
that city by electricity, says Vogue. If
this can be accomplished games can Of
course be played by night, and thus
will thousands now debarred be ena-
bled to witness their dearly loved game
professionally played. Several years
ago Mr.. Jenney experimental with very
strong refectors, but these cast shad-
ow, and the players could not judge a
ball. He claims now that his new plan
is far superior to the old one, and with
1t he is able to bring about diffused
illumination all over the grounds max.
ing them almost as light and as shad-
owless as day.

7 May Be Chosen

the rank Of a prince of the church.
This ceremony took place I'm the Balti-
more cathedral on Jan. 3, 1896, Cardi-
nal Gibbons placing the red hat on his
head.
Francis Satolli. titular bishop of Le-
panto and for years as close TO Pope
Leo XIII. as any member OF the col
lege, is a native of Perugia and even
as boy displayed gifts OF oratory OF a
high order, and to this accomplishment
he added great powers of original
thought and marked facility as writ
er. Satoli is about sixty-two years old.
Cardinal Giuseppe SartO patriarch OF
Venice, who is regarded as strong
candidate for the papal throne, was
born at Ricse, northern Italy. I'm 1885.
He is noted for his prudence, having
never meddled with politics, and for
extreme independence. He Is also u
patron of the arts.
The cardinal is recognized as one
of the most learned men in the church
and is Il stickler for the truth as be-
tween the church and the people Sarto
won much renown some years ago by
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1903-07-24

destroying certain relics of doubtful
authenticity.
Cardinal Sarto was not discovered
until he had reached middle age. He
was parish priest in the province Of
Venice for the greater part of his life
and finally became bishop. His high
executive qualities and unexcelled
learning became known soon after his
elevation and were recognized by the
church. He was created cardinal In
1893, at which time he was also named
patriarch of Venice.
One of the most striking figures Of
the group of men whose supreme ambi.
ton is to succeed to the papal throne
is Cardinal Serafno Vannutelli. He
is a power in the church by lineage as
well as by education and achievement
He is descended from one of those old
Roman families whose histories have
been linked with the Roman Catholic
church for centuries. His brother Vim
cenzo is also member of the college
of cardinals, although of lower rank,
being only cardinal priest. He was
born in 1884
Pope Leo created Vannutelli a car
dinal bishop in 1887 and gave him the
see of Frascati. Since then he has
lived almost continually in Rome and
has been one of the closest advisers Of
the pope. Vincenzo Vannutelli is two
years younger than his more distin-
guished relative. He was created car
dinal in 1889.
Another likely candidate for papal
honors Is Cardinal Rampolla, who Is
a Sicilian and was born in 1S43 at
Polizzo. His family name is Mariana
Rampolla del Tindaro, and he was edu.
Gated In Rome. For some years he was
attached to the nunciature at Madrid

The pistol shooting world has been
stirred by an invention consisting OF
bullets made of compound of wax
and tallow which will allow sham
duels with the pistol to take place in
the same form as fencing bouts, says

hard to permit good aim and soft
enough to be harmless. This is said to
be good practice for would be duelists,
