STUDY OF POPE LEO.

In considering the career of Leo
XIII, it should be borne in mind that
his ancestry-or, if one wants to put
1t the other way-his descent, threw
light on his career. He entered on
his ninety-fourth year the second of
last March, as he was born on that
day in 1910. Incidentally, one may
note that jefferson Davis and Louis
Napoleon were born in the same year,
and Abraham Lincoln a year later.
The sweep of time which single life
thus covered can be suggested. The
family of Leo XIII might almost be
called a clerical one. Among his col
lateral ancestors were three prelates.
One became Bishop of Grosetto in
1917, another Bishop of Malta in 1879.
Still another became Bishop of
Grosetto again in ITO a century be-
fore Leo XIII was born. The family
from which the latter came is named
Pecci. The pronunciation of that in
English is said to be expressed by the
spelling Petchy. The family, in the
days when rank expressed power as
we'll as distinguished descent, was "a
noble one in Italy. The Pecci family
had the rank of ruling princes in Car
pineto, where the most distinguished
member of it was born, and had
reigned in Carpineto, papal province
or principality, for generations. AS
far back as Pope Martin V, that family
entertained him in it's palace, and ad-
vanced to him a large loan for his
needs. The father of Leo was a col
onel under Napoleon 1, and died in
1893, twelve years after the death OF
the Emperor on st. Helena. His wife
belonged to a family of distinction,
living near Rome, and died in 1924,
when her distinguished son was ten
years old. There were children born
to the couple in 1900, in 1902 and in
1907, as well as on March 2, 1910, the
date already given. 1t will thus be
seen that the boy, born that day, car
ried in his blood the traditions o.
power and the traditions of thai
power both in the form prelatical rule
and of military conduct.
without considering whether ht
was destined for the priesthood by
his parents, or whether he gravitatet
toward it by his own inclination Of
resolution, we discern that his educa
ton up to certain point was simply
that of a scholar and of a teacher

Two Opinions.

1t is a different proposition for a
person to sell Intoxicating liquor now
than it was under the old system. 1t
is different for several reasons. In
the first place the entire populace is
determined that no one shall sell
without first procuring a license, the
one who tries to violate the law in
this respect has public sentiment for
an enemy and the penalty is more of
a thing to consider than it was in the
old days. Some of The prohibition
lists maintained once upon time
that the illegal dives would continue
just the same under a local option
law as they were before. The fallacy
of their belief has been proven
beyond any question. Even in the
no-license towns the dives are prac-
tically shut up and in the places that
voted for license the wonderfully few
convictions for illegal selling pretty
nearly represent the number of the
violators.-Barre Telegram.
In Rutland-and we presume about
the same conditions RUE in the other
cities-these contentious appear ridi-
culous. There is no apparent public
sentiment here against unlicensed
places and in favor of the licensees
There are practically as many illega
selling places in this city as ever
before. officers and citizens know
it. The difficulty in the way of clos
ing the "dives" is greater than i
was formerly, for now illegal sale
have to be proved. The license polio.
has thus far failed miserably in tn,
matter of suppressing unlicense'
traffic.-Rutldnd NetUs.

1t is somewhat surprising to note
that the Constitution, which was
built to defend the cup last year but
failed in the trial races with the De-
fender, is easily defeating the old
boat this year and in two instances
has beaten the Reliance. The poor
showing made by the Constitution
last year may have been due to the
absence of the designer, Mr.. HERES
hoff, who was i'll and unable to be
present to help to get the vessel in
readiness for the trial, and to the fact
that those in charge were unfamiliar
with the working of the new boat.

II, at Chelsea, England, at the age of
SO. His death came Unexpectedly,
although for some time he had been

Manchurian Question Settled.
The Manchurian question has been
settled satisfactorily to this govern
ment. Assurances have been received
from the Chinese government that it
will in the near future open as treaty
ports several ports now closed to the
worlds trade, The Russian govern
ment has conveyed formal assurance
to the U. s. government that it will
not in any way oppose such opening.
While the ports to be opened are not
yet specified, it is gathered from the
communications received that they
are Mukden, the principal inland port
of Manchuria, and Ia tung-kao, at
the mouth of the Yalu river. The
state department is highly gratified
at this outcome, feeling that it has
secured not only for American COM

world at large a very substantial
gain.
Death OF the Pope.
The Pope died shortly after four
O'Clock Monday afternoon. His last
moments were preceded by period
of insensibility. Around the bedside
at the final moment were cardinals,
relatives, and members of the papal
court. Before lapsing into uncon-
seriousness the dying pontiff feebly
moved his lips, his last articulate
words being those used In bestowing
benediction. Gradually the shadow
of death spread over the pontiff, his
extremities became cold, his features
assumed the fixed rigidity of death,
and Doctor Lapponi noted his last
fluttering heart beats, which gradu-
ally became slower and slower, until
they finally stopped. The news OF
