SKETCH OF THE NEW POPE.
The Successor of Leo XIII. Said to BE
n Man of Liberal Views.
Giuseppe Sarto, the new pope, was
born in Riesi. diocese of Treviso, north
ern Italy, June 2. 1885, and was created
cardinal by Leo XIII. at the consistory
of June IL, 1893, receiving the title of S.
Bernardo dele Terma. He is also
patriarch of Venice since June, 1893, and
bishop of Mantua. He belongs to the &C.
clesiastical congregations of bishops
and regulars, sacred rites, indulgences
and sacred relics.
Pope Plus x. is very learned in the &C.
clesiastical doctrines, is modest, ener-
getic, good administrator and or
ganizer, a patron of the arts and his seri-
BUSINESS always has been proverbial.
EARLY in April Pope Leo, in CONVEX
sation with Father Perosi, the Italian
composer, said in speaking of Cardinal
5arto:
Hold him very dear, Perosi, as in the
future he will be able to do much for
you. We firmly believe he will be our
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, 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 timid 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 disapproved of Ram
polla's policy.

Receiver Cunningham thinks that
it may be two or three days before
he can make any statement as to
the banks condition.
The bank was chartered in 1901
with a capital of two millions. It's
last statement to the comptroller
gave it's resources as $7,693,982. De-
posits were nearly two millions.
President J. A. Langwith signed a
statement attributing the failure of
the bank to business depression
which caused the stockholders to
throw stock upon the market. This
in turn aroused anxiety among the
depositors who drew out their mon.
ey until the bank found it impossi-
BILE to meet it's demands.
