An evidence of secuslon from the
pablic glare on the part Of one at least
o. the princes of the Church Of Rome
is found in the fact that the question,
"Who is SartoT' was upon everybody's
tongue as soon as his election to the
papacy was announced. one Of his fel-
low cardinals in the conclaye said to
an American reporter that he had
scarcely heard of Sarto or known of.
his existence except as he exchanged
the usual formal greetings with him
by post at Christmas time.
Sarto's life has by no means been
that of a monastic. He was a worker
among the peopleas priest, pastor aud
bishop. AS he was taking leave of the
scene of his recent labors in Venice to
attend the conclave at Rome there was
a spontaneous outpouring of citizens
to bid him godspeed. When the pur-
pose of the gathering was explained to
him he thought the demonstration I'M
called for why" said he, II have a

The current pictures of the new pope
were taken eight years ago when he
was sixty years of age. He looks much
older now. OF medium height, with
good physique, he gives the impression
of a man of power. His bearing, how
ever, is very modest and dignified.
Sarto is of humble origin. His father
was a soldier in the Italian guard Of
Venice and fought for freedom in 1S4S.
Giuseppe, the new pope, was one of
eight children. His brothers and sis
tiers are all In the class struggling for a
livelihood. After Giuseppe became car
dinal his mother lived on In her peas
ant cottage, preferring that to the
strange luxury of palace.
Sarto labored as priest and pastor for
eighteen years before coming to honors
in the church These reached him at
last as the reward of hard and well di-
rected work marked by great thorough
ness. He was the friend and helper of

OTHERS TAKE WATER CURE.

Tuesday afternoon about 5 O'Clock,
two colored residents of this city
were sitting on the steps of the court
house in very close conversation when
the clouds above them suddenly opened
and at least tub full of cold water
struck them. One of them, who re.
ceived the most of the water had on a
large straw hat. and when he left the
scene, it resembled a bonnet more
than a hat, it having a dropping atti-
tude. They must have been talking
of the coming crop or the election, but
they soon changed their location. The
cloud burst is mystery.

Ia September. 1899. the late Pope
Leo was one day insistently asked
for an audience by an under servant,
and, yielding to curiosity, he granted
it, whereupon the man entered, and,
kneeling. said
Your holiness, have to restore to
you what has been loss not only tc
you but 10 the world"
After these words the nan f-ve the
pope the fishermans ring, which he
had found. Pope Leo Looked at it in
surprise and then. solemnly putting
it on his finger. sad:
"The th2n.s c. ,'.e church are due

SILK DRESSES OF TIN.
Metal Weighing Substance Has
Taken the Place of Vege-
table Matter.

A Chicago chemist declares that "a
per cent. of the so-called silk used for
skirts, blouses, and dresses is nothing
less than tin, pure and simple, says the
Tribune of that city. He asserts that
the practice of substituting tin foi
vegetable weighing substances origi.
mated in Germany. The vegetable mat.
tiers were no detriment, though equal
brilliancy of color was not obtainable,
and there was not the same sheen and
feel when handled as that produced
by real silk, which has the rustic so
pleasing tothe ladies' ears. "The prac-
tice of the dyer" he explains, "to whose
hands the silk yarn is intrusted for dye
ing and weighing, is to boil it, and in
so doing he reduces every l6 ounces to
IL, thus eliminating the natural gummy
substances and the foreign matter
added for the purpose of spinning. The
IL ounceswere then brought up to IA by
the use of fannie acid, etc. To-day by
the substitution of tin, the ~ ounces
are raised to 10 ounces, or even 80
ounces"
1.-THE proportion of weighing is
more than that in black silk" said q
manufacturer to whom this statement
was submitted. Frequently only one
fourth of the woven material is real
silk; the other three parts are tin and
dye"
Any woman can test for herself
whether the silk she is buying is tin
weighted. Let her hold some threads
in flame, and the genuine will leave
an ash resembling that of wool when
burned, with no traces of filament,
while the tin weighted simply loses its
rolor and tenacity, each thread re-
naming distinct in a thin wire gauze
Negroes Skin Turning White.
Physicians are interested in the case
of Rufus Hurburt, negro, and a re-
tired tobacconist of 1865 West Twenty
third street, New York. whose skin has
undergone such Transformation In
the last two years that IL is now very
much like that of a normal white per-
sons. 1t is pale. like that of one who
has not been in the open air for long
time. The natural hue of Hurburt's
skin was not black, but brown. A little
more than two years ago he noticed
white spots on his hands. There was
no chipping or sign of irritation. The
spots grew larger and larger and then
other spots began to appear on his
body, and they enlarged in the same
manner until >ow his whole body and
face is of light color. Hurburt was
born in Saco. Me- His father was from
the city of Trinidad.

VETERAN SENATORS &C.
Washington Will Miss Number OF
Notnhle Lawmakers.


With the close of the Fifty-seventh
Congress there retire from congressional
life a number of men who have been
identified with national legislation longer
than any others now in Washington,
They are Senator Jones of Nevada, call
ed 1.-The father of the Senate" Senator
Vest of Missouri, Senator Jones of Ar
kansas and Representative Galusha
Grow of Pennsylvania. Senator Jones of
Nevada is one of six Senators who have
completed FIVE full terms. Congressman
Grow retires after congressional ca
reer of longer than half a century, hav-
ing succeeded himself six times.
In Senator Jones of Nevada the Sen
ate loses one of its most popular as well
as most unique members. He has been
known as a great, silent force. In all
the thirty years of his service he has
not introduced more than half dozen
bills, yet his influence upon the national
legislation has been exceeded by that of
few Senators now in the national body.
he has seen the personnel of the Sen
ate change many times and has been the
associate of many Of the most consplcu-
GUS men in the nations history.
Senator Vest belongs to the next gen
GRAFTON. He entered the Senate in 1871.
and throughout his service has won an
enviaLle reputation for the brilliancy of
his oratory His health has failed con-
siderablv the last few years. He has be-
come almost blind Yet he has not allow
ed the fact to interfere with his public
duties
Another conspicuous figure which will
be missed will be Senator Jones of Ar
kansas. He has seen almost as much
service as his namesake of Nevada.
In the retirement of Congressman
Grow there leaves the House one Of the
most beloved and noblest men who have
ever occupied seats in that body. He
has been one of the political landmarks
of Pennsylvania during a public life of
nearly sixty years. Although he will be
so years old If he lives until Aug. 81,
be is In splendid physical condition. The
most important measure fathered by
Grow (siGnad by Abraham Lineo.nl was
the homestead law, by which nearly 90
000,000,000 acres of public domain Las
been occupied. lie was Speaker during
the frs two years of the Civil War.
Like many another public man whose
political existence has embraced so long
a period, Mr.. Crow has been a member
of more than one political party He is
one of the few men of whom it can be
said thrt he carried his district practical
ly upa ..mously.
