cardinals declared to be the Divine Will
and gave Leo XIII. for his pontifical name.
He trembled at the threshold of this un-
known glory, where he must be solitary, SO
high above those who were-nearest to him.
The hour was very bitter. There was not
stain upon his name. In statecraft he ranked
with Gladstone and Bismarck-when they
passed away he stood alone as the greatest
statesman in Europe. By his uniform,
steady line of action. his aims were attended
by remarkable success. Leo's benevolence.

worldly wisdom. To aid the poor he

The war between Spain and the United

SO torn between the appeals of his people
in Spain and the reliance his loyal following
in tke United States placed upon his up

it was feared he could not bear the strain.
The queen of Holland appealed to Leo to
use his influence to end the South African
war. He declared no war had caused such
bitterness of spirit-a war that was inspired
neither by ideals of civilization nor by just
national interests-but humbly added, Il

HIS life was regular and simple. He rose
at six-rather his valet called him at six,
but often found him at his desk. 1t is Ell

with all the hurry of business man. AT

day with one of the cardinals That over, he
walked in the vatican gardens, which he
supervised. A gardener, whom he censured
for raising poor ivy, exclaimed: His holt

the prosecutor and spoliator of the church
When the wires flashed over the world the
news of Plus death, Protestants believed
that the papacy which was claimed to have
come down from Peter was at an end. The
questions arose, will the government not

ColOred School Problem.

The discord which has taken place
in the colored schools of this town, has
grown out ofan unki dly feeling which
has existed in the two churches for the
past few months. 1t is a recognized
fact that all public leaders Of what ever
capacity 1T some time in their lives
make sad mistakes-m mistakes that
have a bad effect upon tue general
public. Such we believe has been the
case in Milford, and has caused the
trouble i'm the colored schools. What
is the remedy? Remove the cause.
How can that be done? The remedy
is simple if the leaders of that race in
this community will come together
and throw aside any personal ambition
that they NAV have for the advance
ment of the colored schools. A great
leader is recognized not by his power
to ascend, as much as he Is by his
ability to compromise. The fact is that
with the people who pay the taxes a
division in the running Of the schools
make it impossible TO achieve the best
advantage. But by-coming together
and making a common effort to com
mon end. results can be Obtained in
the interest of the masses who aI'
