POPE LEO XIII.
"A Pen Picture Of the Great FonfjG Of the Catholic
Church Who Has Just Passed Atvay

Before MS return to Rome he visited Lon
don and Paris, aid was received by Victoria,
Prince Albert and Louis Philippe, to whom
he had been warmly recommended by Leo
pold.
Death had claimed the bishop of Perugia.
The hearts of the people and the clergy
turned to him, who had endeared himself
to them in his brief sojourn as governor.
The pope acceded to their wishes, but in
tended first to bestow the red hat. When
the nuncio reached Rome Gregory lay dy-
ing.
His successor, Plus TX, confirmed the ap-
pointment. For 80 years Leo filled
this pastoral mission Plus was not unmind-
full of Gregory's design for his promotion,
but political troubles which crowded all the
years of Plus pontifcate, delayed for six
years the insignia of the red hat.
In 1877 was celebrated the golden jubilee
of Plus TX. His strength was failing and he
know his end was near. Death had Just
taken his oldest friend and paved the way
for new Camerlengo. Plus appointed
Cardinal Pecci. It was position involving
during the vacancy of the papal chair, the
supreme authority to administer the tenn.
poralities of the holy see. It was the Cam
erlengo who must use the silver hammer
upon his brow and thrice call him by his
baptismal name before it could be admitted

Joseph cardinal and you can be tranquil as
to the future of our boys" On the last day
of the year 1887, Is years after the death of
his much-loved mother, be was ordained to
the priesthood.
Gregory XVI. appointed him governor of
Benevento-a most difficult position. He
was not only obliged to cope with political
conspirators, but also with well-organized
bands of desperate men, given over to brig
andage and smuggling position in which
older and more experienced men had been
baf1ed and retired. Three days after reach
ing his post he was stricken with typhoid
fever The best medical skill was summoned
from Naples and pronounced the case hope
less. The frail body, weakened with ascetic
fervor, triumphed over disease and death.
In his convalescent state, he began his bat
Gle, bearing harder on the rich than on the
DOOR, Soon the Beneventini saw with joy
and surprise the most dreaded chief with
his band led in chains to prison. Conspira-
tors found it unsafe to hatch plots where
Gov Pecci ruled and sought an asylum
elsewhere In three years the reign of law,
with order and peace, was established
THAI Pope Gregory recalled him to fill a
more important post.
Perugia was the seat of popular discon-
tent; thither Gregory sent the successful
young diplomat: Again he was successful,
so successful that there came time when
the prisons of Perugia did not hold single
criminal.
There were educational disputes in Bel
GUM; indeed all the affairs OF the church
were dlsordered. Gregory again turned to
Mgr. Pecci to smooth difficulties and bring
order out Of chaos. He went as nuncio to
Brussels-a post he filled with credit to him
self, the church, the Belgian court and peo-
pie. 1t was King Leopold's verdict that he
was as clever a politiciay a. he was an
excellent churchman
